After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

If we divide the world's erudite scholars into two groups, one group is those who serve as officials in the court, headed by Su Wenzhao, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

One group of people live in seclusion in the mountains for various reasons.

There are many reasons for these people: some are loyal ministers of the previous dynasty who are unable to get over the hurdle in their hearts and refuse to heed the call; some are schools that were defeated during the Hundred Schools of Thought and are now in decline.

But the guest coming here at this moment is neither of them.

He was the descendant of the school of diplomacy who had made great achievements during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and a well-known hermit among the people.

Since the establishment of the unified empire by Qin Shi Huang, it has been difficult for the diplomats to achieve anything.

However, they can be seen in every change of dynasties.

There is a legend that when two factions are fighting, whoever can get the recognition of the descendants of the contemporary strategist can seize the throne.

The current descendant of the master of diplomacy, Gongsun Cang, whose courtesy name is Xueyi, is the principal of Jiufeng Academy, the most famous academy in Dajing.

It is worthy of Qin Yaoguang’s personal visit.

Not to mention the eldest princess, given Gongsun Cang's status among the people, even the emperor would welcome him with open arms.

"Mr. Gongsun, please stand up quickly."

Qin Yaoguang leaned over and stretched out her arms, personally helping him up: "Sir, it is an honor for you to come to my Princess's Mansion."

She still hadn't figured out how this big guy, who had absolutely no history with her, could suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Could it be that her reputation in Qingliu has become so good?

Qin Yaoguang thought about it narcissistically, and then stopped this unreliable idea.

Gongsun Cang is not very old, about ten years younger than Su Wenzhao. He is a cheerful and harmless middle-aged man, just like the smiling Maitreya Buddha.

If you just look at his appearance, if you meet him on the street, you would just think he is a happy-go-lucky foodie.

As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Qin Yaoguang was about to lead him to the flower hall for receiving guests, but Gongsun Cang waved his hand and said, "Where is the Zhufeng Courtyard? I want to go and see the children in the mansion."

The princess treated him with courtesy, but he could not be arrogant.

His talent, knowledge and inheritance of diplomacy are the foundation of his life.

You will be treated with courtesy wherever you go, just because people value your talent.

No one knows better than the strategist what attitude to use when dealing with different people and how to deal with different forces.

They would never challenge the royal authority to highlight their status.

Gongsun Cang stroked his beard with a smile: "I heard that Your Highness has taught the children very well. They are all precocious and extremely intelligent."

Qin Yaoguang laughed, becoming increasingly confused as to what he was doing.

Could it be that the big shot showed up just to praise her for how well she raises the kids?

I don’t know whether I should be proud of myself.

Along the way, Qin Yaoguang tested him twice, but Gongsun Cang just changed the subject and avoided the topic.

Fortunately, he is a very interesting person. Relying on his profound knowledge, he can pick out fragments of history and make people fascinating.

When we arrived at Zhufeng Courtyard, the children were in class.

Chun Ning came out with her four children and asked in surprise, "Royal sister, may I ask if this is Mr. Gongsun Cang?"

Gongsun Cang was very famous, but he had never taken the initiative to make friends with members of the royal family, which surprised Chun Ning very much.

"I don't deserve the title of sir." Gongsun Cang's attitude was very kind.

Chun Ning jumped for joy, and introduced the children behind him one by one like presenting a treasure. At the end, he said with regret: "Sir, our Zhuo Ge'er is not here. He has the greatest strength and a sincere character. You will definitely like him when you meet him."

She had a simple personality, so she didn't think about anything complicated at all. She was just happy.

This pure enthusiasm infected everyone present.

Gongsun Cang twirled his beard while talking to the children. It didn't seem like a teacher was testing their homework, but more like he was chatting about family matters, and he had great conversation skills.

The kids were certainly excited too.

Let me ask you, even if you have never heard of the successor of the school of diplomacy, you must know the name of Master Xueyishan.

Yan Jinyang, the youngest and the least shy, naturally became the most likable one.

As the only girl among four children, Yan Jinyin was graceful and reserved, showing a passion for learning. She was the one who asked the most questions.

Yan Shiyan stood the farthest away, listening to their conversation the whole time and not speaking easily.

Qin Yaoguang noticed that during the entire conversation, although Gongsun Cang was paying attention to every child, his attention was obviously given to Yan Yuanan.

The questions he asked Yan Yuanan were even more profound and did not sound like questions to a teenager at all.

Putting down the teacup, Qin Yaoguang slowly came to an understanding.

She wondered why Gongsun Cang suddenly appeared, and now it seemed that Queen Xie was behind it.

Only a prominent family like the Xie family could invite Gongsun Cang, and Queen Xie could mobilize the resources of the Xie family.

Queen Xie really cares about Yuan An.

Qin Yaoguang sighed softly in her heart, not knowing what it felt like.

Not only because she is now Yan Yuanan's nominal mother, but in terms of blood relationship, Yan Yuanan is still her nephew.

Qin Yaoguang was of course happy that Empress Xie was doing this for his own good.

But both she and Yan Changqing have blood feuds with the Xie family. Once the great revenge is taken, how will Yan Yuanan, who is caught in the middle, deal with it?

The room gradually became quiet, with only Yan Yuanan playing music with Gongsun Cang.

Gongsun Cang's questions are more difficult than each other.

Yan Yuanan's answers became slower and slower each time.

From being able to answer questions fluently at the beginning, to now, I need to think carefully for a long time before I can answer each question.

Chun Ning quietly poked Qin Yaoguang's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you think Mr. Xueyi is here to accept a disciple?"

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly: "My sister thinks the same as I do."

"Seriously?"

Chun Ning stuttered and looked at the two people who were asking and answering each other.

She was just worrying about how to teach Yuan An, and then her savior came, the world-famous Mr. Xue Yi!

Simply great!

It was so good that she didn't even dare to think about it, and was full of doubts when she asked.

Unexpectedly, the imperial sister gave her a positive answer.

Qin Yaoguang could see how satisfied Gongsun Cang was with Yan Yuanan.

If you weren't satisfied, why would you have been asking him questions for so long?

It seems that even Queen Xie could only ask Gongsun Cang to come, but she was unable to get the other party to agree to her request.

Gongsun Cang came here to see Yan Yuanan's qualifications.

When accepting a disciple, one must always consider fate, and both the master and the disciple must be able to like each other.

Qin Yaoguang's guess was not far off, though it was not correct.

A quiet quarrel was breaking out in Fengyang Palace.

All the servants were sent away, and Empress Xie sat motionless on the chair with a stubborn look on her face.

The one confronting her was none other than Grand Tutor Xie Shu.

He rubbed his forehead repeatedly with a headache, he had no idea what to do with this always obedient daughter.

He has said everything that needs to be said.

Queen Xie had no intention of giving in and was so stubborn that it made him uncomfortable.
