[Family, I have made it! I will be a teacher! ]
Wu Qing announced happily in his heart.
[I have gone through the nine-year compulsory education system. Teaching people to memorize is not an easy task.]
[First Prince, Second Prince, your strength is here! ]
[I'm going to transform into the dean and punish you! Hahahaha. ]
Wu Qing put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly in his heart.
The queen shook her head gently, as if she was helpless about Concubine Ji's naivety and ignorance.
Because things are not as simple as Ji Guiren imagined.
The eldest prince was born to the queen. He is the emperor's eldest son and legitimate son, and his status is very noble.
The second prince was born to Concubine Shu. Although he was inferior in status, he was talented and intelligent, and was often praised by the teacher. He also had many supporters in the court.
According to the rules of the Chen Kingdom, when the princes reach adulthood, they must leave the palace and set up their own households.
But now the two princes are not yet adults, and they still live together in the prince's residence and go to the study room for classes every day.
The crown prince had not yet been appointed, and as time passed, the rift between the two men grew larger and larger.
The Queen said that the two of them were unable to memorize the book, which was actually a euphemism.
——How can two people who are fighting for the throne remain calm and sit down to study properly?
If she wants them to be obedient, Ji Guiren will have to put in a lot of effort.
After speaking so much, the queen was obviously exhausted.
The Queen rubbed her temples and said wearily, "I am also tired, Noble Lady Ji, please leave. Tomorrow, I will arrange for Xiao Luzi to lead you to the study room to get familiar with the princes first."
Wu Qing expressed his gratitude again and left happily.
Xiwen clenched his fists, very dissatisfied with the outcome.
She originally thought that she had successfully squeezed Concubine Ji out of the palace affairs.
But she didn't expect that the queen would assign her the task of teaching the prince!
This undoubtedly gave Ji Guiren the opportunity to make further progress.
Xiwen's face was gloomy, but she couldn't reveal any flaws at this time, otherwise all her previous efforts would be wasted.
The Queen gazed at her face.
Seeing Xiwen said nothing, a complex emotion flashed in the queen's eyes, but in the end she didn't say much.
Xiwen has followed her for many years, and even if he has not made any contributions, he has worked hard.
The queen decided to give her another chance.
Although the list has disappeared, it will reappear one day as long as there is a determined effort.
…
Walking out of the dormitory, Xiwen deliberately avoided the gaze of others. Like a cautious night owl, he quietly stuck to the corner of the wall and shuttled through the mottled shadows of the trees.
After passing a low house, Xiwen coughed.
"I'm coming." She said softly.
Hearing the sound, a pink little man tiptoed over from the corner.
Her hair was black and smooth, combed into a simple double bun.
The girl's dress was exquisite, and she had a white jade pendant around her waist with a clear Chinese character "Yan" carved on it.
Judging from the exquisite clothes she was wearing and the jade pendant around her waist, this girl was none other than Princess Xiyan, who was raised in the Queen's palace.
Princess Xiyan raised her little head and asked hopefully, "Aunt Xiwen, have you driven the bad woman away?"
Xiwen sighed softly.
She shook her head regretfully, stroked the princess's soft hair, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Concubine Ji is a man of deep thoughts, and I am no match for her."
"The princess will be wronged to stay in the same room with her."
The princess pouted.
She stretched out her tender little hand, reached deep into her coat, and pulled out a thick book.
The princess held the book in her hands, blinked her big eyes, and asked in a disappointed tone, "What about this? Is this list of names useless now?"
"Then doesn't that mean I didn't help my aunt at all?" Princess Xiyan hung her head.
Xiwen smiled and said, "How could that be? Princess, you are wrong."
"Princess, you helped me get the list this morning. You have done me a great favor."
Hearing this, Princess Xiyan's face once again bloomed with a bright smile: "Really?"
"Really." Aunt Xiwen nodded.
She took out a piece of solid-colored sugar cube from her sleeve and handed it to Princess Xiyan.
The princess' eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly after taking the candy.
She said in a crisp voice: "Thank you, auntie. Everyone in Kunning Palace ignored me, only auntie was kind to me!"
Aunt Xiwen looked at her with a loving and gentle expression on her face.
The thinking of the Queen and Wu Qing was restricted.
From Wu Qing's perspective, only one person entered her room last night.
Therefore, the list must be in Xiwen's possession.
But - why can't Xiwen have an accomplice?
In fact, Xiwen did not take the list with him after leaving Concubine Ji's house.
Keeping the evidence in one's own hands would undoubtedly push oneself into an abyss from which there is no escape.
Xiwen had been immersed in the palace for many years, so he naturally understood this truth.
After she took the list away, she threw it into the bushes outside the house.
Xiao Luzi and others searched her room thoroughly but found nothing.
Little did they know that the book was not in Xiwen's hand at all, but hidden in the low bushes.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Princess Sunset took the list from the bushes under the pretext of going out to play.
So in fact, the disappearance of the list was the result of cooperation between Aunt Xiwen and Princess Xiyan.
Princess Xiyan said with a sad face, "We can't even steal her list, how can we get rid of her?"
Aunt Xiwen nodded and agreed, "Yes, she is...ah, it's really tricky now."
Princess Xiyan looked at Xiwen in confusion, "Why is aunt sighing?"
Xiwen whispered, "The Queen was deceived by her and actually thought she was a genius with a photographic memory. Although she was no longer allowed to interfere in the selection of concubines, she was asked to teach the princes."
"What?! Teach the brothers?!"
Princess Xiyan was shocked, "Mother is so confused! How can you let a vulgar noble teach my brothers?"
Xiwen said, "Princess, I think so too. And I think the teachers would not agree to let a woman interfere in their teaching."
Princess Xiyan nodded heavily.
As a woman, whenever she went to the study to listen to a few words, she would be scolded by the teacher for having no female virtues.
Places like the upper study have always been the territory of men. It is against the rules for women to easily set foot there.
If Guiren Ji were to become a teacher now, she would surely be scolded and cried by the teachers.
