Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 104 He's Not an Uncle

"I see! But...why did you choose me?" Lin Zijiang asked.

"That day at the palace banquet, Wangfei, the scene where you were educating the prince in the forest happened to be seen by a subordinate official."

"Ah?" Lin Zijiang stared in surprise, then scratched his hair in embarrassment, "That... I was impulsive at the time, I didn't mean to tell the prince..."

However, Qi Wenyong interrupted her: "Princess, there is no need to explain. The prince is stubborn. It is all because of the queen's arrogance and spoiling him, which made him look ignorant and defiant. But because of his identity , and no one in the palace dared to discipline him severely. This is the first time that I have seen someone who can cure him, and it is also the first time I have seen the prince surrender to others."

"At the same time, I also agree with what you said when you educated the crown prince. Although the officials have no virtue, they have seen countless people over the years, so they claim that they will not be misjudged. If the crown prince can get your help, he will be able to succeed in the future." The country and the country have been built."

"Teacher Qi has won the award. Since I promised to be the prince's teacher, I will definitely do my duty. However, Zijiang is just a girl who doesn't know much about politics. What I can do is teach the prince some principles of life and let him Be a man of integrity."

"It's enough to have a princess. But what I want to say is that the situation of the queen and the prince is not satisfactory. The reason why the queen can become a queen is because behind her is the Qi family. But now the Qi family is already powerful. Not as good as before, the empress has been in the palace for many years and has not been favored. In the past, there were Concubine Yu and Concubine Su who were comparable to her family and had the same heirs, and later there were Concubine Li and Concubine Qing who were favored and favored. Now the empress's status can be said It is in danger. If the status of the queen is shaken, the crown prince is destined to face the struggle for the throne. But you can see that he does not have the wisdom and courage that a king should have. Therefore, I hope that you can start now Cultivate him, at least so that he will not be overwhelmed when he really has to face it."

"To be honest, I really don't understand the political struggles in the palace, and I don't want to get involved. However, you look like you are familiar with poetry and ethics. Besides, you are the prince's uncle. If you do these Wouldn’t it be more helpful to the prince and queen if you do it?”

However, the corner of Qi Wenyong's mouth twitched into a wry smile: "No, this is something that lower officials can't do, so I can only ask you, the princess."

Lin Zijiang originally wanted to ask more questions, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Lingzi gesticulating to him from a distance, scratching his cheeks and stomping his feet, which seemed to remind her to leave quickly.

"It's getting late, I have to rush to the Imperial College, so I have to excuse you first. I don't know, when will I see you again?" Lin Zijiang said.

"The next official will go to supervise the prince to practice calligraphy and painting every two days, and then naturally he will have the opportunity to meet the princess."

"In that case, let's say goodbye to today."

After watching Lin Zijiang turn around, Qi Wenyong's originally peaceful eyes showed a trace of complexity, and his pupils became deeper.He stood there like a sculpture for a long time, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to caress the red plum on his forehead, and said in a thoughtful tone, "Why? My piano sound has no effect on her?"

……

"Princess, what were you talking about with Taifu Qi for so long just now?" Xiao Lingzi asked curiously.

"Well... just to talk about poetry and songs, and talk about life ideals."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi nodded in agreement: "Oh, that's it. You can talk to him more, Princess Qi, Taifu Qi is a very powerful person."

"Oh? Why do you seem to like him very much?" Lin Zijiang laughed.

"Everyone likes him very much. Every year, those boring court ladies will privately select the man they want to marry the most, and Grand Tutor Qi always ranks second." Xiao Lingzi gossiped.

"It seems that the handsome uncle was also very popular in ancient times! Who is the first one?"

"Lord Yin."

"Oh, yes. What about Chu Yue?"

"Uh... this... the 190th and eighth place. There are only... [-] people participating in the selection." Xiao Lingzi secretly looked at Lin Zijiang's face and said hesitantly.

"What?" Lin Zijiang suddenly felt a little unconvinced, "Are all these maids blind? Isn't Chu Yue handsome! He shouldn't be the bottom of the list, right?"

"This... Wangfei, don't get excited, they are blind, they are blind. Our prince is indeed very good, and you and Wangfei are a perfect match, right?"

"Exactly!" Lin Zijiang nodded in satisfaction.

But she soon realized that her reaction seemed wrong, so she quickly explained: "I'm not excited, and I don't want to...protect Chu Yue. I just don't like their aesthetic level."

"Yes Yes."

Although Xiao Lingzi agreed with Lin Zijiang's explanation on the surface, he still couldn't help laughing.

"Cough...the one you just mentioned is a woman, so why do you like Mrs. Qi?"

"The slave just admires his talent. Taifu Qi not only won the first prize, but also holds the record for the highest score in the imperial examinations." Xiao Lingzi scratched his ears a little embarrassedly, "The slave was poor since he was a child. He was sent to the palace as a eunuch at the age of eight, so he didn’t have much chance to study. But the slave especially yearns for the school, and what he admires the most is the scholar. So when he sees a knowledgeable person, the slave will naturally have a good impression of them.”

"I didn't expect that he won the number one prize." Lin Zijiang sighed.But why did she feel that something was wrong?

"By the way, how about it." Lin Zijiang said to Xiao Lingzi, "When I teach the prince in the future, you also come to attend the class, and I can teach you how to read by the way."

"Really? Princess, are you willing to teach the slaves how to read?" Xiao Lingzi opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"of course it's true."

"But princess...why are you so nice to this slave?" Xiao Lingzi asked.

"Nonsense, aren't you mine?" Lin Zijiang put his arm around Xiao Lingzi's shoulder, "Of course I have to cover you."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi's eyes were filled with moving tears: "Princess, you are really... so strange!"

"what?"

"Oh, no. The slave is saying that you are too kind, Princess." Xiao Lingzi corrected.

"That's about the same, Xiao Lingzi, let me tell you, don't call me Wangfei when no one is around in the future, I don't like it at all."

"What's that called? Master Lin? Miss Lin? Sister?..."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

"Then what do you want my name to be, boss?"

"Hey, this sounds comfortable. Let's call it that in the future."

……

As soon as he arrived at the Guozijian, Chu Jie immediately dragged Lin Zijiang into the study.

"Mr. Aunt, why did you come here? Hurry up and start, I will learn from you, and let the father and the queen come to see me and the mother sooner."

"Well... wait a minute, let me see what I should teach you first." Lin Zijiang was flipping through the books on the bookshelf while talking.

"Oh, that's right...why didn't you tell me that Mr. Qi is your uncle?" Lin Zijiang asked casually.

Hearing this, Chu Jie said seriously, "He's not my uncle."
