Qingyin looked at Lin Daiyu, who was becoming more and more like a white dough and a sesame filling because of her education, and touched the non-existent beads of sweat on her forehead. Hmm, as expected, her education was invincible. Girls should be a little tough.

The next day, the weather was even colder, and a stove was set up in the study room. They also specially burned incense to refresh the mind. The servants had racked their brains to make the arrangements so that the princes, princesses and other princes in the room could concentrate on their studies.
At this moment, the hall was quiet, except that Confucius's voice became clearer, and the monotone sound was even more soothing.
Normally, several people would be fast asleep in the room by now, but today, a certain princess and prince, who often sleep in during class, are unusually awake.
Sitting in the middle of the third row, Yinmi, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness, gestured to Dunke, who was sitting in the corner above him. The two of them turned their eyes and pointed at their companions, blocking their view. Taking advantage of their height, the two of them began to whisper to each other.
Confucius, standing at the top, had the appearance of a strict teacher, but in fact, he was the most gentle. He looked at the two who were starting to cause trouble in front of him, and his eyes twitched slightly. Oh well, these two little masters usually doze off anyway, so it's no use ignoring them. Confucius, who had convinced himself, pretended not to see them and continued to teach his course.
Dunke tugged hard at Yinmi's sleeve. "Yinmi, have you decided what to say today?"
Perhaps he had pulled too hard, because Yinmi almost fell to the ground along with the chair. With a little effort, Yinmi straightened himself and looked at Dunke with a resentful expression: "Of course I've thought it through. Father Emperor checks our lectures every day. I'll take that opportunity to tell Father Emperor about Grand Tutor Lin. Father Emperor is so busy with official duties that he definitely won't have time to check my lectures anymore. I can just escape this trouble, hehe."
When talking about his ideas, Yinmi's chubby face seemed to brighten up, and his eyes were full of smugness.
Dunke was initially made guilty by Yinmi's resentful gaze, but her eyes lit up when she heard Yinmi's idea. Although the two children were precocious, they couldn't come up with overly perfect ideas, so Dunke agreed to Yinmi's idea as soon as she heard it.
Dunke smiled and nodded, then gave Yinmi a warning look, "Then you are not allowed to go back on your word today. You must tell everyone, otherwise we will not be able to see Grand Tutor Lin every day."
"Of course!" Upon hearing the name Lin Taifu, the two children's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and they behaved themselves well in class all day.
Hongxi noticed their unusual behavior. As the eldest son of Crown Prince Yinreng, he naturally followed his grandfather's lead and was sent to the Imperial Study to study at a young age.
Hongxi showed more care than respect to his two aunts and uncles who were actually younger than him. Seeing that the two, who usually slept in the study, were not sleeping today but playing instead, he found it quite reasonable. After realizing his absurd idea, Hongxi felt embarrassed.
However, he also felt a bit curious and envious. But because of his father and mother's high expectations, Hongxi only glanced at them briefly before focusing on listening to the teacher's lecture.
Qingyin has been enjoying her routine of clocking in, slacking off, and leaving get off work on time for the past two days, and she is quite happy about it. After all, who wouldn't love a life with a high salary and a car (horse-drawn carriage) to pick them up and drop them off?
Aside from occasionally and firmly rejecting marriage proposals from ministers, he really didn't have much to do.
He thought that after vomiting blood last time, no one would dare to introduce him to a potential partner, but he still couldn't resist the irresistible charm of his face.
In their words, it would be a waste and a luxury not to have more of Lord Lin's face passed down to him. With this in mind, some people even went so far as to arrange a marriage between Lin Daiyu and Qingyin, since the daughter has her father's genes and who knows, maybe she could also give birth to a face similar to Lord Lin, which would be so lucky.
Upon hearing this idea, Qingyin's face darkened, and she sharply and absolutely rejected the man's request. His daughter was still young, and he wouldn't accept a marriage alliance, okay?
The man felt some regret about Lord Lin's thoughts, but he still extinguished the idea.
At Shenshi (3-5 PM), Emperor Kangxi looked at the several trembling children standing in front of him. Among them, two little ones stood out unexpectedly, their faces full of pride and joy, which was quite different from the others who were nervous.
Emperor Kangxi seemed to be deep in thought. Were Yinmi and Dunke well-prepared and exceptionally confident? Should he give these two children this opportunity, or this opportunity?
Yinmi and Dunke, standing below, were unaware of the impending bad news and eagerly awaited Emperor Kangxi's inspection. Normally, the Emperor would start by checking people in order of age, and they were usually the last ones to be checked.
But why hasn't Father Emperor started yet? Yinmi quietly raised his little head to observe Father Emperor's expression, and just then he bumped into Emperor Kangxi. A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Yinmi's heart.
As if knowing what Yinmi was thinking, Emperor Kangxi said in a pleasant mood, "Yinmi, you can come first today." It was rare for this young man to be so enthusiastic.
When Yinmi was called, his mind went blank for a moment. He had come up with a plan today and thought he could avoid the spot check. He hadn't reviewed his lessons at all, so how could he possibly pass his father's spot check?
Seeing the Emperor's delighted eyes, Yinmi felt like crying but had no tears. He secretly cast a pleading look at Dunke, but Dunke coldly avoided his gaze and silently lowered his happy head.
