In the study, Xue Chao poured a cup of tea for his father, handed it to him, and chuckled, "Dad, you know that Yun Jing is most afraid of studying, but you shouldn't stop there. Aren't you afraid that he will hide from you when he sees you in the future?"

Xue Mingyuan crossed his legs, took a sip of the teacup and said to Bai Ling, pointing at the arsenic, dagger and white silk on the table: "Don't be afraid, I have a trump card."

Xue Chao looked at his father who acted like a rogue when he disagreed with someone, and his mouth twitched slightly: "You just rely on Yun Jing's kindness and integrity. If it were someone else, would you think he would fall for your tricks?"

Fu Yunjing: Yes, yes, yes, that’s right, I am so kind, loving, honest and simple.

"Why would I want others to fall for my tricks? My little apprentice should fall for them." Xue Mingyuan said confidently, "Such a talented child wants to study under me. I can't watch him go astray."

Xue Chao: “…”

Is it okay to tell lies with open eyes?

Wasn't it you who chased him around and used all sorts of tricks to force him to worship you as his teacher and then forced him to study?

Xue Mingyuan felt dizzy from being stared at by his own son. He coughed lightly and tried to save his face: "He saved my life. I am repaying him, understand?"

"Hehe..." Xue Chao did not hide his speechlessness towards his father: "To Fu Yunjing, it seems more like you are repaying kindness with enmity."

After all, he didn't like studying at all and spent all day playing with cats and dogs and eating and drinking for free.

Xue Mingyuan's face suddenly darkened: "If you don't know how to speak, don't say anything. Believe it or not, you are severing the father-son relationship."

Xue Chao couldn't help but choke, and closed his mouth and dared not say anything more.

Xue Mingyuan's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Five years ago in the winter, he was on his way home from visiting a friend when his carriage ran out of control and he accidentally fell into an icy river. The coachman had been thrown off the carriage by the horse and had fainted. He could not swim and the river water was so icy that he didn't even have the strength to struggle. When he was about to suffocate, a figure jumped into the river, swam towards him quickly, and rescued him to shore.

He was only a thirteen-year-old boy at that time, but he jumped into the river to save him without hesitation.

It can be said that without Fu Yunjing, there would be no Xue Mingyuan today.

She carried him on her back in her small body and walked more than ten miles to send him back home. She found out his name was Fu Yunjing, and then left.

I haven't repaid him for saving my life yet, so I must find him.

It is very easy for Xue Mingyuan to look up someone's information.

What's more, Fu Yunjing's dress is either rich or noble, so the scope is even smaller.

Who would have thought that he didn't even need to use his connections to find out. If he asked randomly on the street, five out of ten people would have heard of Fu Yunjing.

Oh... the Prince Ming of Pingyang Palace is called Fu Yunjing, a famous dandy in the capital.

Xue Mingyuan doesn’t care whether he is a playboy or not, as long as he finds his benefactor.

After a few contacts, I found out, eh? Who said he was a fool? He was clearly a very talented student.

Xue Mingyuan felt a sense of appreciation for Fu Yunjing's talent and chased after him, insisting on taking him as his disciple. He cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide every day. He used threats and inducements everywhere, until Fu Yunjing lost his temper. He kowtowed in tears and accepted him as his teacher, starting his study journey in which he battled wits and courage with his teacher.

Xue Mingyuan discovered that his beloved disciple was really lazy, and he would slack off for three days and fish for two days. If he hadn't used various means, Fu Yunjing's attitude towards studying would be useless even if he had three heads.

Even so, his progress was astonishingly fast.

Xue Mingyuan simply loved and hated her. Once, when he was so angry that he was about to smoke, he couldn't help but ask Fu Yunjing:

"You obviously have the talent to take the imperial examination, why don't you study hard to get a good reputation, enter the court as an official and serve the court, and help the Pingyang Palace to a higher level."

But the fellow said, "I am a prince, I have a noble status, I have servants to serve me, I will never have to worry about food and clothing in my life, why should I bother taking the imperial examination, it's so tiring."

It feels so justified to say that there is no desire to make progress.

Xue Mingyuan was almost so angry that his nose was crooked. He kept muttering to himself, what can I do when this is my chosen disciple and benefactor?

Pamper me!

After that, he no longer forced Fu Yunjing to take the imperial examinations, but he was ruthless when testing him on the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight-Legged Essay.

Xue Mingyuan hopes that Fu Yunjing will not take the imperial examination in the future. It is up to him to decide whether to take the examination, not that he is not qualified to take the examination.

What this means is that you can pretend to be stupid, but you can't really be stupid.

As the sun set in the west, Fu Yunjing returned to the Prince of Pingyang's Palace in the orange glow of the sunset.

Wen Feng came back from outside and saw Fu Yunjing walking towards the mansion with trembling legs. His eyes lit up and he ran over: "Prince, where have you been? I went to the academy to pick you up. They said you didn't go to class all day."

Fu Yunjing turned around, gave him an indescribable look, and stretched out a hand: "Come here and help me."

He came forward excitedly, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard from the people in the academy that Master Xue Chao left today, so did you go with him?"

"Don't ask, I want to be alone."

Wen Feng: “…Oh!”

The two of them walked towards Qingfeng Courtyard. When they passed the Chuihua Gate, they saw the wet nurse passing by holding Fu Yunke's hand.

The nurse bowed and greeted: "Prince."

"Hello, second brother." When Fu Yunke saw Fu Yunjing, she bowed and called out obediently.

The soft and sweet voice is sweet to the heart.

Fu Yunjing smiled softly and reached out to touch her head: "Good girl! Where are you going?"

"Second sister-in-law asked me to eat crabs." Fu Yunke said, "Second brother, I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he took the nurse and left.

Fu Yunjing stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and turned his head with Wen Feng: "Let's go to Qionghua Courtyard."

Wen Feng: "Ah...what are you going to do?"

"Let's eat." Fu Yunjing said, "There are crabs ready to eat? Hurry up, I'm hungry."

So, when Fu Yunke just entered the Qionghua Courtyard and hadn't even sat down yet, he heard a number of greetings outside.

"I've met the prince."

Fu Yunke was stunned, and trotted to the door. When he saw Fu Yunjing, his big black eyes were full of surprise and doubt: "Second brother, why are you here? Did Second Sister-in-law ask you to eat crabs too?"

Fu Yunjing's mouth twitched slightly: "..." He said with a hint of connotation.

Little girl, if you don't say anything, we are still good brother and sister.

"Yeah, I shouted."

Gu Zhiyin, who was one step behind, heard this: "..."

You have no burden at all in lying to children.

Fu Yunke blinked: "But you didn't say that just now."

"Oh, this is a surprise for you. How about it? Are you happy?"

Fu Yunke sighed softly and shook his head.

"What do you mean by shaking your head and sighing?" Fu Yunjing snorted, "You don't like me at all."

"No." Fu Yunke raised her head and looked at Fu Yunjing cutely: "If you come, there will be more people to snatch crabs from me, and I won't have enough to eat."

Fu Yunjing laughed and pinched her chubby little face: "You may not be big, but you have a big appetite. I want to see how much you can eat."

As he said that, he looked at Gu Zhiyin: "Can I eat now?"

Gu Zhiyin nodded: "Yes."
