Nangong Fusang went to the palace to apologize with the edict of confession. Liu Sheng did not wait for him and went into the palace after packing up.

Ten days ago, the emperor appointed him as a teacher in the royal school to teach the young princes and princesses.

When the dignitaries in the capital heard that the teacher was the 13-year-old top scholar Liu Sheng, they all begged to send their children to him.

Liu Sheng faces a group of seven or eight-year-old children every day, watching them jumping up and down, which really gives him a headache.

The most troublesome one was Ye Qingwan, the daughter of the Prime Minister. She would doze off as soon as the class started, and climb trees to pick birds and go to the river to fish as soon as the get out of class was over.

There were 581 words in a petition, and she copied 486 of them incorrectly. The whole text was covered with his red comments, which were more than what she copied. It was simply horrible.

Liu Sheng put the homework she copied aside, and just when he looked up, he saw her sleeping on the table.

He walked over, stretched out his hand, and knocked gently on the table. She woke up immediately and sat up straight in an instant.

Without even looking at him, she quickly flipped the book open and pretended that she was just reading.

Liu Sheng originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and had already walked past her, but he couldn't help it and took two steps back.

Ye Qingwan was in a daze when she saw a white, slender hand reaching out from behind her, holding her book, and silently helping her turn the book upside down.

She got it the wrong way around...

Ye Qingwan looked back at him awkwardly, and seeing him staring at her helplessly, she immediately bared her white teeth and used a smile to cover up her embarrassment.

Liu Sheng sighed helplessly and continued to explain the petition.

After the lecture, the get out of class was over. After Liu Sheng assigned the content to be copied tonight, he asked everyone to pack up and go home.

Ye Qingwan stuffed all the things into her bag, jumped up and went home.

But Liu Sheng called him: "Miss Ye."

She paused, walked up to him timidly, and said weakly, "Sir, is there anything else?"

Liu Sheng handed over her petition: "This is the petition you copied yesterday. There are 581 words in total, and you copied 486 of them incorrectly."

Ye Qingwan was confused herself and took it and opened it in disbelief.

So many mistakes? How is that possible? I copied it very carefully.

But when she opened it, it was full of red comments. Every wrong word was circled and the correct answer was written on it.

It's really...no way to defend myself.

But Liu Sheng immediately said, "Also, copying books and eating candied haws can be done separately. It's easy to be distracted while copying and eating at the same time."

As she spoke, her white fingers tapped on the candied food.

Ye Qingwan: ...

"I understand. I won't do it again." Ye Qingwan lowered her head and admitted her mistake in a good manner: "Then sir, can I go home now?"

Liu Sheng was almost amused by her: "There are 581 characters, and you copied 486 of them wrong. You still want to go home?"

If this happened when he was in school, he would have been slapped on the palm by his teacher.

Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said weakly: "It's just that I copied a few words wrong, it's not necessary to kill me, right?"

Liu Sheng's temples throbbed, but he still held his temper and said softly, "Re-copy it. You can leave only after you finish copying it."

Ye Qingwan: ...

"There are so many, how long will it take to copy them? Sir, it's almost dark, and I'm alone, I'm afraid..."

"I'm here with you, go ahead and copy it." Liu Sheng interrupted her before she could finish.

"But I'm hungry..." Ye Qingwan pretended to be pitiful.

Liu Sheng silently took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, which contained snacks.

Ye Qingwan: ...

"Sir, you see, it's getting dark, and I'm cold."

Liu Sheng stood up, took off his outer robe and handed it to her.

Ye Qingwan: ...

“No one grinds ink for me.”

Liu Sheng pushed his ink in front of her: "It's ready."

Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at him with resentment on her face, and she didn't want her clothes or food anymore. She walked back angrily, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from her bag, and started copying.

Liu Sheng glanced at her without saying a word. He silently picked up his documents and handled his official business seriously.

After finishing each task, he would look up at her to make sure she was not slacking off.

Fortunately, although she was yawning all the time, she was still writing seriously. When she got tired, she put down her pen and shook her wrists to exercise. At the same time, when he lowered his head to handle official business, she made a face at him.

Liu Sheng suddenly looked up, picked up the pen instantly, and began to copy seriously.

Liu Sheng glanced at her and continued to handle his official business. Seeing that he lowered his head again, Ye Qingwan immediately bared her teeth and claws, pretending to bite him.

Liu Sheng didn't look up, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When he looked up again, he found that she had fallen asleep on the table.

He walked over and gently pulled out the paper, only copying half of it...

Just 581 words? Is that so difficult?

Liu Sheng glanced at her, sat down beside her silently, picked up the pen, and copied the remaining half according to his handwriting.

It didn't take long to finish copying. It wasn't difficult at all. So what did she copy for half the night?

Section 246

If Ye Qingwan heard this, she would definitely jump up and smash his knee.

This is a traditional Chinese character. Do you know how many strokes a traditional Chinese character has?

And I am just a five-year-old child. You want me to copy 581 traditional Chinese characters as a five-year-old child. Do you know how difficult it is?

After copying, he put the paper back and knocked on the table: "Ms. Ye, wake up, it's time to go home."

Ye Qingwan turned over and continued to sleep.

Actually she was awake, but she just wouldn't get up.

Hey, I just don’t want to go back. You just stay here with me. No one else should go home.

Liu Sheng called twice again, but Ye Qingwan still didn't respond.

Humph, I won’t wake up. It will make you so anxious that you will be punished.

Liu Sheng had no choice but to help her pack her things. Then he picked her up and let her lean her head on his shoulder. He held her with one hand and helped her carry her things with the other.

He felt that he was not like a gentleman, but more like her father, carrying the title of gentleman and worrying about the heart of an old father.

If she was spoiled and unruly and refused to obey discipline, he could punish her directly or even forbid her to come to the school.

But she is not like that. She admits her mistakes and stands at attention when being beaten. She is so well-behaved that people cannot even open their mouths to scold her.

"Sir, I'm hungry." As soon as she left the palace, she "woke up" and looked at him pitifully.

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows helplessly: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Fan Lou's soft brand." His eyes were shining as he spoke.

The things in Fanlou are very expensive. She has wanted to eat them for a long time, but unfortunately she has no money.

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't say anything, she immediately changed her words: "Millet porridge on the street is also fine."

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "From Fanlou to the street, you are not picky."

"I've chosen one, but Fanlou is too expensive and I'm afraid the master will be angry." Ye Qingwan said with a smile.

Liu Sheng showed a very nice smile on his face, got on the carriage, put her down, and said to Shi Hu: "Let's go to Fanlou."

When Ye Qingwan heard that they were going to Fanlou, she almost jumped for joy: "Sir, you are such a nice person."

"Then you should behave yourself from now on, don't make me angry, and let me live two more years."

Ye Qingwan nodded repeatedly and promised: "I will study hard in the future and never make the teacher angry again."

Liu Sheng just smiled and said nothing. Just listen first.

Although he didn't have much contact with her, he had seen the temperament of this little ancestor.

To sum it up in one sentence: I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will do it again next time.
