Yi Chenqi turned around, and the Grand Tutor stroked his beard, looking at him with a serious expression.
Yi Chenqi smiled awkwardly: "Student...Student just got carried away with the emotions and couldn't control himself for a moment."
An Yuan'er almost spat out the water she had drunk.
Yi Chenqi's explanation is worse than not saying anything at all.
The Grand Tutor doesn't care if you're from the royal family; in this school, the Grand Tutor is the most respected.
He pointed to the door and roared, "Since the Fifth Prince is in such a high mood, then your master thinks it is very necessary for you to go to the door and calm down."
Yi Chenqi, with a bitter face, went to stand at the door as punishment.
He was probably the first prince to be punished by standing since the school opened.
An Yuan'er laughed unkindly.
Suddenly, a gaze fell upon him, and the Grand Tutor's eyes warned, "You little brat, wait until we get home and your grandfather will give you a good talking to."
An Yuan'er quickly returned the look and mouthed, "Grandfather, please have mercy on me!"
But the Grand Tutor wasn't so easily fooled. He looked away, already having a plan in mind. When he got home, he would have his second son keep a close eye on their daughter. She was only so young, and someone already had designs on her. What would happen when she grew up?
And there's more than one person he's thinking about.

An Piao'er never expected that the Fifth Prince, despite failing to obtain the bookmark he desired, would still be able to get along with An Yuan'er calmly.
In the past, given the Fifth Prince's fiery temper, he would never have been able to swallow this insult.
Seeing An Yuan'er becoming increasingly proud and surrounded by admirers, An Piao'er was absolutely unwilling to become a supporting character to her younger sister.
Every day after school, An Yuan'er would go to Chenyang Palace to get tutoring from Yi Chenli, and this day was no exception.
Seeing An Yuan'er excitedly following behind Yi Chenli's wheelchair, Yi Chenqi felt a pang of jealousy.
“My studies are not bad either, so why does Xiao Yuan’er insist on finding that cripple for tutoring! That cripple is only slightly more handsome than me, but in everything else, he is inferior to me.”
"Xiao Yuan'er is good in every way, except that her eyesight is not very good."
Yi Chenqi muttered to himself, unwilling to give up.
An Piao'er sat down in An Yuan'er's seat without anyone noticing, and she secretly slipped a bookmark into Yi Chenqi's book.
Yi Chenqi caught An Piao'er's little trick on the spot.
An Piao'er lowered her head, feigning panic: "Fifth Prince, Piao'er just..."
"What did you put in my book?" Yi Chenqi casually opened the book, revealing a willow leaf bookmark made by An Piao'er herself.
"Didn't I say I don't want other people's bookmarks?" Yi Chenqi said frankly, directly shoving An Piao'er's bookmark back into her hand.
An Piao'er burst into tears on the spot, her voice trembling with grievance: "Piao'er was simply expressing her affection for the Fifth Prince, just as the Fifth Prince likes my sister."
"Actually, there's something that Piao'er has never dared to tell the prince."
"Just say what's on your mind," Yi Chenqi thought. Xiao Yuan'er wouldn't cry so easily; although they were sisters, they had two different personalities.
"Actually, after we got home that day, my sister said that the bookmark was always meant for the Sixth Prince. The reason she said that the first place winner would get the bookmark was just because she knew that the Fifth Prince was not as good as the Sixth Prince and wanted to discourage you."
Yi Chenqi's face turned cold: "If Xiao Yuan doesn't want to give it to me, just say so. Why play games with me like this?"
An Piao'er shook her head: "Piao'er doesn't know what you think, sister. But you've always been on good terms with the Sixth Prince, so you're just standing up for him."
