All the officials just watched as Liu Sheng carried Ye Qingwan down from the emperor's carriage, and then they walked away hand in hand as if no one was around.
The emperor was left looking at their backs with a resentful look on his face, while the prime minister acted as if nothing had happened and the ministers looked confused.
This Imperial Tutor Liu is the most law-abiding person, and no one can find any fault with him, whether in private or in the court.
Today he has changed his personality and is fooling around with a little girl.
Ye Qingwan also wondered if this was too blatant, so she secretly shrank to his side and whispered, "Master, they are all watching us, isn't this a bad idea?"
Liu Sheng shrugged indifferently: "Ignore them, they are just jealous that I have a beautiful girl like Miss Ye."
With one compliment a day, Ye Qingwan couldn't stop smiling. It was so nice to be in love with a scholar.
I dare not say anything else, but sweet words will satisfy your hunger.
So delicious!
Nangong Muyun went back to handle government affairs, and they ate, drank and had fun in the capital. At night, he sent her back to the prime minister's residence and patted her head: "Go in, I will take you to the palace tomorrow."
Section 192
Ye Qingwan nodded obediently and held his hand for a long time before letting go and going back home. Before stepping into the mansion, she waved at him, telling him to go back quickly.
Liu Sheng looked at her with a smile on his face. He waited until she went in before getting on the carriage and leaving.
Ye Qingwan skipped in and bumped into something the moment she entered the door: "Ouch, when did they build a wall at the gate?"
Unexpectedly, the wall spoke up: "I didn't repair the wall, I repaired your father."
Ye Qingwan: (˙˙)
She touched her forehead, smiled flatteringly, and pulled his hand to act coquettishly: "Dad~"
"Dad, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
Xiangguo glanced at her disdainfully: "Yes, it's so late, and only someone has come back."
Ye Qingwan went over and hugged her father's arm: "Dad, are you angry?"
Xiangguo looked helpless and asked her as he led her back, "Are you really attracted to Liu Sheng?"
"Yeah." Ye Qingwan nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister sighed inaudibly. Ye Qingwan heard it and asked him in confusion, "Dad, is the Grand Tutor not doing well?"
"If he really likes you, then he is the best person. If one day he doesn't like you anymore, ten of you won't be able to beat one of him."
The prime minister still remembered the first time he met Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng was 13 years old that year. He took his first imperial examination and was named the top scorer. At first sight, he knew that this was a natural-born powerful official.
Although he appears to be as gentle as jade, he is actually dark and treacherous, and his mind is unmatched.
The prime minister did not care at the time. He just thought that it might be a good thing to have such a powerful minister to check and balance the chaos of the Dayu Dynasty.
He knew that Liu Sheng had been helping the emperor to eliminate dissidents over the years, but generally speaking, he only punished corrupt officials, so he let Liu Sheng do what he wanted.
But he never expected that the powerful official he had allowed to emerge would seduce his precious daughter away.
"Miss, do you remember when you were three years old, you ran in holding a string of candied haws and asked the master how to write the word Liu Sheng?"
Uncle Lin was following nearby and suddenly remembered this, so he asked.
Ye Qingwan was stunned. Three years old... The three-year-old was not me...
As soon as the words came out, Uncle Lin seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. His face turned pale with horror and he immediately shut up.
Xiangguo glanced at him calmly, and then said nonchalantly: "How long ago did it happen? How could she remember it?"
Ye Qingwan looked at her father and Uncle Lin's reactions and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that her father knew something.
The original Ye Qingwan fell into the water when she was three years old and died of a high fever convulsion. Later she came here through time.
Before she could speak, her father took her hand and said, "You will always be my precious daughter."
"But Daddy is already half buried in the ground, and can't protect you for long. Daddy is afraid that he will bully you after he is gone. You may be able to fight back against others. But Liu Sheng, you don't have the strength to fight back at all. You have to think carefully."
"My father is always here." Ye Qingwan hugged him.
The Prime Minister couldn't do anything about her, but although there were some bastards in the Liu family, Liu Sheng and his father were both clean and honest, so they wouldn't treat her badly.
At noon the next day, Liu Sheng came to pick her up after finishing his court session.
Ye Qingwan was extremely reluctant. There were many rules in the palace. Besides, outsiders were not allowed to enter the harem. Wouldn't that mean she couldn't see the Grand Tutor?
She lay on the Master's lap and whined, "Master, what should I do if those palace servants bully me after I enter the palace?"
Liu Sheng smiled, knowing that she didn't want to enter the palace and was making up an excuse. You are the daughter of a prime minister, more delicate than the average unfavored princess. The palace ladies are busy trying to curry favor with you, who dares to bully you?
But he still coaxed her patiently: "I have arranged everything. The people who serve you are all carefully selected by me. No one dares to bully you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwan raised her head and looked at him resentfully. It seems that being meticulous and foolproof is not always a good thing.
"What if the emperor bullies me?"
"He would be even more afraid. If he dared to bully you, the Prime Minister would be the first to overthrow his predecessor."
"What about you?" Ye Qingwan looked at him, like a girlfriend questioning her boyfriend, if your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?
Liu Sheng smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead: "I killed him."
Use the softest tone to say the harshest words.
As expected of the Grand Tutor, he is a ruthless man who doesn’t talk much.
"Well, well, well... that's not necessary." Ye Qingwan was already at a loss because of him.
But she still didn't want to enter the palace, help...
Liu Sheng was made to laugh and cry by her hesitancy. Those who knew her thought I was taking you into the palace, but those who didn't think I was taking you to a mass grave thought I was taking you to a mass grave.
"How about this, I'll ask you a question. If you answer it, we won't enter the palace." Liu Sheng suddenly teased her.
If you keep chatting like this, I won’t be sleepy anymore.
Ye Qingwan immediately sat up, her eyes shining: "Okay, ask quickly."
"I have taught you the Analects, right?"
Ye Qingwan nodded quickly: "I have taught you, do you want me to recite it?"
Although I don't like memorizing, thanks to the nine years of compulsory education, I have memorized it by heart, and it came in handy today.
If worst comes to worst, there is still the system.
Right, system?!
System: ...Thank you for remembering me.
Seeing that she was eager to try, Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "No need to recite. I'll just ask you a question."
"Okay." Ye Qingwan rubbed his hands, ready for a big fight. For the sake of freedom in the next few months, this battle can only be won, not lost.
Liu Sheng looked at her and smiled slyly: "What size shoes does Confucius wear?"
Ye Qingwan:? ?
system:??
I'm sorry, I really can't do this.
I am a waste.
Ye Qingwan was almost crying. No wonder my dad said that even if there were ten of me, they couldn’t beat him.
If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Liu Sheng smiled until his eyes were almost narrowed into a line. He hugged her tightly and coaxed her: "Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you."
After that, he leaned close to her ear and bit her ear and said, "You get along well with Xia Xuejian during the day, and I will secretly take you out to play at night."
