Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 205

The emperor was still handling government affairs in the Palace of Qinzheng.

When the Seventh Prince and the little princess arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, they unexpectedly found that Grand Tutor Gu was also there.

The two monarchs and ministers seemed to be discussing something serious, and what happened in the academy and related to the princes.

"My son sees the father." The slender young man saluted respectfully, and after hearing the father's excuse, he respectfully saluted Gu Ci, "The student has seen the grand master."

Gu Ci's tone was light: "The Seventh Prince doesn't need to be too polite."

After saluting, Ye Junling stood quietly aside, and Nan Si didn't speak.

Gu Ci, who was dressed in a green shirt, stood in front of the case, turned his head, and said lightly: "The eldest prince is not in a good spirit today, so that his performance in all aspects of homework is not satisfactory. If this happens again in the future, your majesty Let him stay in the palace to rest."

His Majesty the Emperor, who was behind the case, heard the words, and said indifferently: "It's just that you knelt and copied the "Book of Filial Piety" all night, is it so serious?"

"Whether it is serious or not depends on the body's ability to bear it." Gu Ci's tone was calm, "After all, the eldest prince is delicate, so it's okay to behave like this. But the queen may be a little unhappy, because the minister beat the eldest prince, and the martial arts In class, Professor Lu also made a move on the First Prince."

His Majesty the Emperor said: "If the students don't perform well, the Taifu naturally has the power to punish them. I told you early on that there is no need to give privileges to princes."

Gu Ci smiled lightly: "I understand."

"I remember that Xiao Qi was also punished to kneel before." The emperor turned his head and looked at Ye Junling who was standing quietly beside him, a young man as tall as green bamboo, with clear eyes and unparalleled elegance, he really had a good face.

Being called by Jun's father, Ye Junling lowered his eyes slightly, his brows were calm, and his attitude was respectful but not flinching, which made people feel good about him involuntarily.

"Your servant also remembers." Gu Cidan said, "During the first month of the first lunar month, the Seventh Prince got his clothes dirty in the academy, and when he came back, he was punished by the queen for his misbehavior and knelt down all night."

But it was still cold winter, and he knelt down all night. When he went to the academy in the morning, the boy's face was blue from the cold, and his energy was a little weak. Gu Ci ordered him to run twenty laps on the school grounds.

Several princes and children of powerful families looked at him gloatingly.

However, after running down twenty laps, the Seventh Prince was sweating and his face was ruddy. Although he was a little sleepy, after a whole day, whether it was literature or martial arts, his performance was still remarkable.

The emperor's eyes fell on the memorial that had just been opened in his hand, and he said lightly: "A minister suggested that I establish a crown prince, what does Gu Qing think about this?"

"I only care about teaching, and I dare not presume matters in the court." Gu Ci said, "I have truthfully reported the situation of the princes to the emperor, and the emperor will make a wise decision."

"Students are bold." Nan Si said suddenly, "I wonder how the Grand Tutor evaluates the Seventh Prince?"

Gu Ci turned his eyes and glanced at the little girl: "The little princess cares about this?"

I don't know if it's because he's not in the academy at this time, but his tone doesn't sound so serious, but rather interesting and leisurely.

Nan Si frowned slightly: "Of course I care, I'm afraid the Taifu is partial."

"Partial?" Gu Ci raised his eyebrows lightly, "Afraid that I will praise the eldest prince too much in front of the emperor, and deliberately belittle the seventh prince?"

Nan Si blinked, and shook her head innocently: "Teacher is a good example, he has both ability and political integrity, so he definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

"It's rare to hear something nice from Xiao Sier." The emperor was a bit apprehensive, with a sour tone, "It's better to flatter me when you have time to flatter the Grand Tutor. After all, Xiao Qi's fate is in my hands."
