Chapter 554 Exchange
Lu Qinghan was fined with three years' salary, and the emperor said he would be given one year, if he couldn't teach the crown prince well, he would go home and sell sweet potatoes!

As for Ying Ning, she was also fined three years of salary and food, all of which were poured into the treasury.

She is a princess, super first-rank, and her three-year salary is much more than that of Lu Qinghan, a fifth-rank Hanlin.

Not only that, but she was also punished for copying.

But what she copied was not the Analects of Confucius, but Buddhist scriptures.

If she couldn't finish copying, she would be restricted from approaching the East Palace, so as not to spoil the prince.

The emperor made a fuss, punished him messily, and then left angrily.

Before leaving, he was so angry that he taunted the eleventh son again: "I have given birth to so many children, and none of them has ever reached the age of ten who can't even recite the Analects, idiot! How dare I make you the crown prince? Yes……"

He is the emperor, so he can't scold himself for being blind, so he held back for a moment, snorted heavily, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The East Palace was silent.

Accompanying reader Sun Mingping said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the servant has gone outside to kneel."

"Just go, what are you talking about!" Gu Qizhen said impatiently.

"Gu Qizhen, you are too much!"

Ying Ning was furious, "Ming Ping was punished on your behalf, yet you have no remorse at all?"

Gu Qizhen shouted: "Aren't I going to be punished too?"

"You are just copying, but he wants to kneel!"

"What's so difficult about kneeling still?" Gu Qizhen exclaimed, "I want to copy the Analects a hundred times! How can I finish writing it? I'd rather trade with him!"

Ying Ning said angrily: "You said this, okay, I'll let you change! You go outside and kneel, when will Mingping finish copying, when will you get up!"

"Kneel down!"

Gu Qizhen didn't hesitate, and was even quite happy, kneeling when he went out.

Ming Ping was at a loss: "Your Highness, what...how should I do this?"

Ying Ning said: "Go and copy the Analects of Confucius, the prince can only get up after copying the Analects a hundred times!"

Ming Ping still didn't dare, and looked at Lu Qinghan again: "Mr. Lu, is this okay?"

Lu Qinghan said calmly: "Princess Xinhua, if you do this, the emperor will be angry."

"Didn't your majesty say that I have spoiled Xiao Eleven? Xiao Eleven made a mistake but asked Ming Ping to kneel, isn't that spoiling him?"

"I can't refute the princess."

"He just hasn't suffered. Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel. I'll wait for the day when he cries!"

Lu Qinghan shook his head secretly.

Ying Ning said: "If you can't teach him well within a year, the consequences will be very serious."

Lu Qinghan said calmly: "I teach that everyone will do their best. But when manpower is exhausted, if it still fails to meet people's expectations, I have nothing to say.",

"Is that how you accept it?"

"There are smart people in this world, but there are also stupid people." Lu Qinghan said, "As a subject, if you are lucky enough to assist a wise king, it is naturally something to be thankful for. If you are unlucky, you should accept it calmly."

Ying Ning said: "I don't think you are someone who would be so foolish and loyal to Xiao Shiyi."

"The princess is wrong." Lu Qinghan said, "I am loyal to Daxuan, not the emperor, nor His Royal Highness the crown prince."

"Do you know, if this sentence reaches the ears of the emperor, you can pack it up and go home now, not even a year later."

In the heart of the emperor, the monarch and the country are not separated.

Any courtier who dares to treat the monarchy separately has a rebellious heart.

Lu Qinghan said calmly: "Princess, I am not a foolish and loyal person."

Ying Ning was slightly taken aback.
