Master Xun wanted to drive Wu Qing out as soon as they disagreed.

Wu Qing raised an eyebrow.

She pointed at the scholar's robe she was wearing and said, "Master Xun, I am clearly wearing men's clothes, so why can't I enter the upper study room?"

"How shallow!"

Master Xun shook his sleeves and said angrily: "A gentleman should dress properly and look respectful, so that people will be in awe of him! Do you think that a piece of clothing can deceive the world and conceal your identity?"

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Yao said", which means that a gentleman should dress properly, look straight ahead, and be so solemn that people are intimidated.

Master Xun's words were clearly meant to mock Wu Qing for his inappropriate attire and his lack of gentlemanly demeanor.

[Master Xun is really stubborn. Wearing men's clothes is not okay, right?]

Wu Qing understood.

No problem, she had already made preparations for both scenarios.

In front of the study, in full view of everyone, Wu Qing put his hand on his shoulder.

Then, she clenched her fingers suddenly, pulled hard, and lifted up the large scholar's robe!

The white man's robe took off instantly, fluttering in the wind, drawing a thrilling arc in the air.

The palace maids outside the study screamed and quickly covered their eyes.

The princes took a step back, slightly confused.

Master Xun's eyelids twitched, and he cursed Wu Qing in his heart for being so reckless.

When the outer robe was completely removed, it was just an ordinary palace maid's outfit, simple and plain, without any gorgeousness.

Wu Qing, who was dressed in a palace maid's outfit, smiled sweetly and whispered, "Master Xun, is this okay now? There is no rule that explicitly states that palace maids cannot enter, right?"

Women were not allowed to enter the study room at will.

However, according to palace rules, "servants" such as palace maids are not included in this list.

Master Xun glanced at her coldly and said disdainfully, "Are you testing my judgment, my lady? Even if you really put on the queen's gorgeous clothes, I will never let you set foot in this place."

【Wearing the Queen's gorgeous clothes? 】

[I can still wear the emperor's clothes! The question is, if I dare to wear the dragon robe, do you dare to look? ]

Wu Qing was not discouraged and continued to work hard, "Teacher, you know I am only here to accompany you in your studies. I will never interrupt you in your classes, nor will I have any adverse impact on your teaching."

However, Master Xun flatly rejected her request.

"As long as there are women in the room, how can men concentrate on their studies without distraction?" The old man stroked his beard with a serious face.

Wu Qing choked up, which was rare: "..."

She looked at Master Xun with an unfathomable gaze.

[Fuck... what a weird statement. So as long as a woman is present, men can't concentrate on their studies? You are indeed the most feudal old man in the original text.]

[This old man is actually an upright person with a high level of knowledge. He is one of the few upright old ministers in the original text. After the eldest prince ascended the throne and became a puppet emperor, he was also one of the few royalists. He was loyal and upright.]

[The female protagonist, as the queen mother, controlled the government, which caused great dissatisfaction to Master Xun. Master Xun was sexist and could not stand this, and finally even committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar. It can be seen how prejudiced he was against women. ]

Wu Qing clenched his fists, and finally couldn't help asking, "Is the Master married?"

Master Xun nodded and said, "Of course. My wife and I have been together for forty years and we have a deep relationship."

Wu Qing pressed on: "So, when you were studying, did your wife never enter your study?"

"Or, in your opinion, would being in the same room with Madam Ling also disturb your studies?"

Master Xun frowned slightly and said righteously, "How can this be compared? Marriage and academic studies are two different things."

"Besides, my wife only comes in occasionally to help me grind ink and clean the study. How can she disturb my peace?"

Wu Qing was speechless: "..."

Okay, so you treat your wife as a nanny.

【Master Xun is indeed feudal. 】

[It is impossible to convince this kind of person by talking about the equality of men and women. In this case, I can only defeat magic with magic.]

[You use secular concepts to suppress me, then I will use imperial power to suppress you. ]

[Old antique, I, Wu Qing, will go through this door today! ]

Wu Qing raised the corners of his lips: "Master, let's talk."

She was wearing a simple palace maid's costume and standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking very pure and harmless.

Xun Fuzi, who was standing on the steps, still refused her: "Please go back, my dear. No matter what you say, I will not agree to it."

After saying this, he glanced at the princes and turned to go into the room.

The princes didn't know what to do for a moment.

Is it to follow in the footsteps of Master Xun?

Or should we form a united front with Concubine Ji?

Wu Qing glanced at the people around him and called out to Master Xun.

She took two steps forward and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Okay, since the Master insists so much, I won't embarrass the Master."

Master Xun stroked his beard, nodded and said, "This is very good."

Wu Qing followed up by saying, "I told the emperor about Xun Qing's favoritism and slander against Qin Lixue."

Xun Qing is the youngest son of Master Xun. He is 35 years old this year and has five children, but none of them have passed the imperial examinations.

When Master Xun heard this, a crack appeared on his originally serious expression: "...Wait a minute."

He looked at Concubine Ji's calm face in shock.

This is a beautiful and tender face, which should be about the same age as his granddaughter, but why does it reveal a hint of being in control of the situation?

How did Concubine Ji in the deep palace know about Xun Qing's matter? !

He had obviously...

Wu Qing said with a smile: "Master? Now we can have a good chat, right?"

Master Xun's old face twitched.

After a while, he reluctantly agreed to Wu Qing's request.

The two avoided the curious gazes of the people around them and came to an empty corner.

Master Xun said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ji, please do not slander my young son."

Wu Qing laughed: "Master Xun, who can you fool with this? Everyone in the capital knows that among your three sons, the youngest is a fool who has not been able to pass the examination to become a scholar for ten years."

"Xun Qing is stupid, but that's not a reason for you to accuse me." Master Xun said calmly, half threateningly, "If you slander me again, don't blame me for submitting a memorial to the emperor to report you."

[You're threatening me? Ha, sorry, I'm not afraid of being threatened! ]

"Don't you know your own son's moral character? Are you feeling guilty?"

Wu Qing continued to smile, "Master, you were so tough just now, why don't you let me get out now?"

Master Xun rebuked: "What nonsense!"

Wu Qingsu raised her hand and kept flipping through the plot book with her fingers.

She muttered to herself, "Five days ago, Xun Qing hired someone to act as a ghost before taking the imperial examination, and was discovered by the invigilator Qin Lixue. Xun Qing turned around and said that the ghost was recommended by Qin Lixue and received a large sum of money from him. Because the matter was exposed, Qin Lixue wanted to get rid of his relationship with him, so he turned around and reported him."

"Of course, after investigation, it was found that Lord Qin was upright and incorruptible, and all the problems were caused by Xun Qing."

Wu Qing stared at Master Xun with a fake smile and asked, "Such a big thing happened, but there was no news in the palace. Master, you have made a great contribution here, right?"

"There are many people who know about this. It would cost a lot of money to make them shut up, right? Let me make a bold guess about the amount of money you have earned in the past few years..."

She held up three fingers. "It should be no less than this number, right?"

Master Xun's face looked extremely ugly.
