After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

The Grand Tutor's eyes were wide open with anger. He had not expected that Nian Susu could be so eloquent and point out his mistake in just one sentence.

He shook his sleeves and turned sideways, breathing out of his nose. The Grand Tutor hurriedly whispered to him, "Why should you be angry with a woman, Grand Master?" Nian Susu was not allowed to hear this, otherwise he would have been furious.

The Grand Tutor glanced at the complacent Nian Susu with disdain, and said in a stiff tone: "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words! What I mean is that since the Emperor has entrusted the fifth prince to the three of us for joint tutoring, it means that he trusts our abilities, so Your Majesty, please don't worry about it."

Nian Susu curled her lips, "Then why did the Grand Tutor just now secretly accuse me of not caring about the Fifth Prince's studies?"

The Grand Tutor was completely defeated. He had taught two princes, one was the late emperor, the other was Qin Junyu, and the fifth prince was his third student. After teaching for so long, this was the first time he lost to someone in a verbal battle, and the person was a little girl!

He felt ashamed of himself and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He turned around and walked a few steps to the side, refusing to communicate with Nian Susu anymore.

Nian Susu: Are you giving up now?

When he looked at Qin Wenyuan, he looked at her with admiration. Perhaps he had never seen anyone so speechless as the Grand Master.

"So what mistake did the fifth prince make to make the three teachers so angry?" She asked Qin Wenyuan.

Seeing that Nian Susu had confronted the Grand Master head-on, Qin Wenyuan wondered what he had to fear, so he said bluntly, "Because I didn't finish my homework on time yesterday."

Year Su Su:?

She changed her expression in an instant, "This is your fault. How can you not do the homework assigned by the teacher?" She was about to talk to him, but she saw Qin Wenyuan staring at her pitifully, with grievance written all over his watery eyes: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it. Because it's my mother's birthday in three days, I want to make a hairpin by myself to give her as a gift, so I delayed my homework."

After saying that, he added: "I promised the Grand Tutor that I would make it up today, but the Grand Tutor still wanted to punish me."

Nian Susu touched her chin and pierced the Grand Tutor who had his back to her with sharp eyes.

The Grand Master felt as if he had a thorn in his back. He looked back at her and said confidently, "Is it not right for me to do this? What happened yesterday should have been done yesterday! There is a new task today. How can he afford it?"

"Besides! This is a question of integrity! It was supposed to be yesterday's homework, why didn't you finish it on time!?"

Nian Susu frowned. It was really uncomfortable to listen to him speak. If he wasn't Qin Junyu's teacher and was not highly respected, she would have started scolding him long ago.

"But the Fifth Prince prepared a gift for his mother out of filial piety. He promised to make up for it today. Why can't we give him a chance?" It was morning now and less than a third of the day had passed. How did they know that Qin Wenyuan would not keep his promise?

"As the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all virtues. The Fifth Prince is still young, but he has a sincere filial heart. He knows how to be grateful and repay his parents. What the people of Liuli need is a grateful and kind-hearted monarch. Since you are the third teacher of the Crown Prince, it is equivalent to training the Fifth Prince as the future Crown Prince. Do you still need me to teach you such a simple truth?"

Nian Susu stood up directly and pulled Qin Wenyuan behind him, determined to protect him to the end.

Qin Wenyuan poked his head out to see the Third Master's reaction.

The Grand Guardian looked guilty, the Grand Tutor's eyes were filled with shame, and only the Grand Master was puffing his beard and glaring, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

"Your Majesty, do you think you can meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty just because you've read a few books?" The Grand Tutor sneered, "What the people need is a wise ruler who can allow them to be self-sufficient and live a stable life, not some soft-hearted coward!"

"The imperial family is the most ruthless. Your Majesty, where do you think this saying came from?"

"Emotions are the most useless thing in the royal family! Whether it's family affection or love. As long as you can be a wise ruler, you will be remembered for eternity!"

Nian Susu was speechless at his self-righteous attitude. What was the most heartless imperial family? If he saw Qin Junyu acting like a spoiled child, wouldn't he be so angry that he would bang his head against the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and die?

Qin Wenyuan was a little afraid, because if he angered the Grand Tutor, it would be equivalent to offending his royal brother.

His royal brother specially let him live in the Qinian Palace and asked the prince's third teacher to teach him personally. He was already very grateful, so how could he cause trouble again?

In fact, being punished was nothing to him. What he was worried about was that Nian Susu would offend someone because of him.

Qin Wenyuan's eyebrows were knitted together. He tugged at Nian Susu's sleeve and whispered, "Sister-in-law, forget it. This is the nature of the Grand Tutor. It will only be a waste of words if you argue with him."

Nian Susu turned to look at him and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

This old man is even more pedantic than his father, and is simply stubborn and unyielding! Saying more will only make him angry, and it won't have any effect at all.

Nian Susu suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea. She said she wouldn't listen, and there were many people who could deal with this old man.

She made a face at the Grand Tutor, whispered a few words into Qin Wenyuan's ear, then turned away.

The Grand Tutor was filled with rage, and the Grand Preceptor and the Grand Guardian, knowing his temper well, hurried to comfort him.

Looking at the Grand Tutor's face that was turning blue and red, Qin Wenyuan suppressed his smile so as not to be criticized for "disrespecting his teacher".

-

As soon as Qin Junyu finished his work, he rushed to Zhongling Palace without stopping, for fear that he would be turned away if he was too late. There had been two times when he went there and Nian Susu had already gone to bed. He could only return to Qinian Palace with the guard of honor in disgrace, which was so embarrassing.

However, on the way to find her, the wind was sweet, and the fatigue accumulated throughout the day was blown away when we arrived at Zhongling Palace.

Nian Susu was practicing calligraphy and didn't notice someone coming in. The rice paper pressed under his wrist suddenly cast a shadow.

She looked up and smiled, "Your Highness, are you done?"

"Well, I'll come to you after I finish a batch of memorials." Qin Junyu said a few words to her and began to check whether her handwriting had deteriorated.

Although Nian Susu did not practice every day, he had imitated Qin Junyu's Slender Gold style calligraphy to about 70% of its original state under the personal guidance of Qin Junyu.

"There's been progress." Qin Junyu praised generously.

Nian Susu, who was always criticized for being lazy, felt embarrassed at this time. He casually put away his draft paper and pressed it under the paperweight. "It's mainly because it's too boring in the palace. I can only practice calligraphy."

Hearing this, Qin Junyu's heart skipped a beat and his face turned green.

Nian Susu didn't notice the change in his expression because she also had something on her mind.

She walked out from behind the desk, the smile on her face became unnatural, and she took his hand towards the tea table.

Before she could speak, Qin Junyu suddenly asked, "Don't you like life in the palace?"

"Do you... want to leave here?" His tone was cautious and his eyes were dodging, for fear of hearing an answer that would make him sad.
