Early the next morning, after Mao's time, Ling Xiao excitedly carried a thick stack of scrolls to the East Palace.The East Palace was surrounded by silence.Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, guessing that the prince must still be lethargic, he couldn't help but curled his lips and sneered.The picture of coming out of the East Palace yesterday appeared in his mind again.

"Don't be too arrogant." Qi He persuaded, "He is the king and you are the minister... The king sees that the minister is not pleasing to the eye, how can the minister have any reason to resist and go back?"

"It's best if you can't see it." Ling Xiao snorted coldly, "If the emperor hadn't insisted on asking me to be a tutor with a piece of paper, I wouldn't have asked for this trouble to face that annoying spirit."

"...Why didn't you shirk it then?" Qi He said helplessly, "It can be prevaricated by saying that you are not capable enough or other excuses."

"You have also seen the situation in my house." Ling Xiao curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "This matter is such a big deal, if I shirk it rashly, someone will definitely jump out and say that I am putting on airs and not taking the emperor seriously Such nonsense... That's really indisputable. And before entering the palace, the emperor also summoned me alone, and his words were sincere, as if he had great expectations for me... I can't refute the face of the Holy Majesty... So my It means, do it well for two or three months first, if it doesn’t work... then resign.”

"Your concerns are not unreasonable... But according to today's situation, the crown prince is very dissatisfied with you. You have always been arrogant... Can you really hold on for two months?" Qi He was still quite worried.

Ling Xiao smiled helplessly, "I'll try my best... But Qi and Brother don't want to be so pessimistic. This time entering the palace, using the title of Tai Tuo has helped me block a lot of peach blossoms outside. After becoming an official, I am afraid that there will be even fewer people who come to propose marriage, so it is a worthwhile trip."

……

"Where is your prince's bedroom?" Ling Xiao grabbed a young eunuch and asked.

"This..." The little eunuch was a bit embarrassed, "His Royal Highness never allowed anyone to enter his room..."

Ling Xiao smiled, stuffed a few taels of silver into the little eunuch's arms, and said softly, "Take it and buy some delicious food."

The little eunuch hesitated for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, he held the silver in his hand, then pointed to the intersection and said, "The first room you turn left on that road is... But His Highness doesn't like people entering his room, My lord...be careful."

"Thank you."

Ling Xiao smiled and walked towards the prince's bedroom with the scroll in his arms, humming an unknown song.Ling Xiao couldn't help but burst into joy at the thought of seeing that kid panicked or fuming with anger but helpless in a short while.

Ling Xiao came to the door of Su Huang's bedroom with the scroll in his arms, and placed the book heavily on the ground.He listened carefully to the movement—but there was silence inside.

The prince must still be asleep.

Ling Xiao showed a satisfied smile, and then knocked hard on the door for a while.

No one should answer.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Ling Xiao slammed on the door with all his strength.This time, the force was increased a little, and the door panel was almost smashed, but there was still no one to answer.

"His Royal Highness, wake up!" Ling Xiao yelled loudly, ignoring the appearance of the maids and guards looking at him in panic, "The sun is drying my ass."

Ling Xiao listened to the room, but there was still no movement.He hesitated for a while, wondering if Su Huang was not inside the door.He reached out to pull the door, but the door was locked inside.Someone was obviously there.

Ling Xiao was rather displeased, "How long has it been? As the prince, is this how His Highness sets an example for the officials?"

After a long time, there was a muffled hum in the room.Ling Xiao felt happy, and was about to knock on the door again.There was a loud bang from the door, and a piece of porcelain shattered in response.

He has a big temper.

Ling Xiao curled his lips, but still did not give up, "If you don't get up again, I will go and sue your father...say...that His Highness doesn't cooperate with me."

"..."

Ling Xiao paused, and continued to shout, "If you still don't get up, I will continue to yell here that His Royal Highness has the bad habit of sleeping in bed!"

"..."

Ling Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, "If you don't open the door again, I'll step in! I'll count to three, one!"

"two!"

Ling Xiao found a stone and threw it towards the eaves, and there was the sound of tiles colliding.

"three!"

At the moment Ling Xiao was about to go up the wall, the door was suddenly opened.Su Huang was still wearing obscene clothes, staring at Ling Xiao expressionlessly, with a dazed expression and sleepy eyes, dragging a brocade quilt in his hand.Seeing Su Huang opened the door, Ling Xiao said hello with a haha.

"That prince... the minister today..."

Before the words fell, Ling Xiao felt that there was a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and the brocade in Su Huang's hand was covered over Ling Xiao's head with his head covered.

"You..." Ling Xiao whined loudly.

"Shut up for me."

Su Huang glanced expressionlessly at the struggling Ling Xiao, dropped such a cold sentence, and closed the door again with a bang.

Ling Xiao angrily took the quilt off his head, and shouted, "His Royal Highness is so uncooperative, I'm going in."

"Just wait, I want to change clothes." Su Huang's voice came from inside bitterly, "Also, this is the East Palace, and there is a lot of noise outside the palace early in the morning, Master Ling should pay attention to his own body." Identity." After a pause, he continued, "The East Palace can't afford to lose face if it spreads."

"..."

Ling Xiao curled his lips and remained silent.

But after a while, Su Huang changed his clothes and opened the door, squinted at the scrolls piled up at the door, and asked Ling Xiao, "Did you bring these here?"

Ling Xiao nodded with a grin, and saluted, "Holy Majesty Hong En, I dare not forget my responsibilities."

"You are very conscientious." Su Huang raised her eyebrows lightly, and said with a rather displeased expression, "Let someone move it to the study. I need to wash up and use it earlier, so the magistrate can come in and sit down."

Ling Xiao was not restrained when he heard the words, he just thanked him and entered Su Huang's room.As he expected, except for a bed and desk, the rest of Su Huang's bedroom was still extremely empty.

Ling Xiao took a stool beside the desk and sat down beside the desk.While Su Huang was washing up, he gently flipped through the scroll on the case.

Almost all of them are books about martial arts and the art of war.Occasionally, a few books about poetry, rites and music were placed in a corner, covered with dust.Ling Xiao opened a military book, only to find that it was densely written with vermilion annotations by Su Huang.That Zhu Zhu's handwriting was correct, strong and powerful, Ling Xiao read it carefully, although judging from his age and experience, this Zhu Zhu seemed a little childish and crude, and Su Huang is only eight years old this year, it is not easy to have such insights.

"Who allowed you to move things in this Palace?"

Su Huang's angry voice came from above.

"Isn't this well written, so why hide it?"

Ling Xiao smiled, but still put the book aside, got up and saluted.

"What do you know?" Su Huang muttered in a low voice, completely ignoring Ling Xiao, but worriedly picked up the book that Ling Xiao had just taken, wiped it gently with his sleeve, and put it neatly in its original place Well coded.Although it was a small move, in Ling Xiao's eyes, this move greatly stimulated his self-esteem.

What's the meaning?Worried that I've broken his scroll?Or do you dislike me for touching his things?

"In the future, without my palace's permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner hall without permission. The Taifu came to rest in the outer hall long ago, and this palace will arrange someone to go in to serve you." Su Huang said coldly.

Su Huang only said to himself, not noticing that Ling Xiao's face had turned livid.Between the brows was holding back the anger, which was about to erupt when he saw it.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Seeing that Ling Xiao was silent, Su Huang couldn't help asking another question.

"Is this how the prince studies?"

Ling Xiao squeezed out these words coldly through his teeth, looking at Su Huang with frighteningly cold eyes.

Su Huang was startled by the fierce eyes for a moment, wanted to choke back, but could only touch her lips feebly, unable to utter a word.The two were deadlocked, and the inner hall was silent.

"This is...the East Palace, so naturally...it's up to this Palace to decide." Su Huang muttered softly.

"Forget it, forget it." Ling Xiao sighed, and of course the good mood that he cheered up early in the morning and forcibly supported him was gone. "I understand. Then, Your Highness, when do you think we will start teaching?"

"...Now." Su Huang said.

The change of expression on Ling Xiao's face naturally failed to hide from Su Huang's eyes.It's not the first time to treat the Tai Tuo with such a tough attitude. Why did you feel a little nervous when you saw the disappointment flashing across his face just now?

"That's good." Ling Xiao turned around and picked up the pile of books outside the door, and said to Su Huang, "Where are you going?"

"The study is over there." Su Huang pointed to the one next to the bedroom.He paused, seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally asked reluctantly, "What books are you bringing?"

"Interested?" Ling Xiao raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Your Highness will understand later."

Su Huang nodded suspiciously.

There was a rare calm between the two.Su Huang followed Ling Xiao into the study without saying a word.Seeing this, the palace people relaxed a little from the tense nerves they had been tense all morning.

"It's rare that this new Lord Ling can restrain the crown prince... They made such a fuss in the morning, I thought Lord Ling was going to be punished by His Royal Highness again..."

"Keep your voice down, don't let His Royal Highness hear it... Now it's alright, someone restrains you, and His Highness the Crown Prince's temper can be changed a little... This Lord Ling is so handsome and talented, I didn't expect that even our Crown Prince can do it." Listen to him obediently..."

"What did you say!"

A loud shout came from the study, interrupting the whispering of the two court ladies.Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of smashing things in the room.

"Bengong told you yesterday not to bring such useless things, why don't you care about what I said!"

"The Holy Majesty specifically asked me to teach His Royal Highness the etiquette rules. In front of the sage calligraphy, why do you speak ill and slander?"

"Why did I ever speak ill and slander you! If this is the case, why did you find "Taigong's Tutor" specifically? Are you laughing at the prince?"

"...Since the crown prince is well aware of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, self-cultivation and diligence, why can't I explain the meaning of "a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life"?"

"You..." Su Huang was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Use your words to make sense! You clearly did it on purpose!"
