After Wei Chu and Chen Yudong left, the secret guard who was responsible for delivering the message also entered the palace. After listening, Emperor Qi said: "Well, you only need to observe those who visit the goddess's residence, and don't get too close..."

After the secret guard left, Emperor Qi tilted his head slightly and looked at Eunuch Hong beside him.

"Hong Zhao, what do you think, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the goddess to join Yingtian Academy?"

Eunuch Hong leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know this."

Emperor Qi looked deep in the eyes and said, "I hope this is a good thing." After a pause, he asked Eunuch Hong, "Did you meet Concubine Chen on the road to the palace when you returned to the palace?"

Eunuch Hong bent even lower, "Your Majesty, I did not mention the matter of the goddess to Concubine Chen."

Emperor Qi nodded and said, "It's okay. If someone asks again, just tell them everything you can."

"I obey your orders, old slave."

Having followed Emperor Qi for many years, Eunuch Hong knew what to say and what not to say without having to explain it explicitly.

In Yingtian Academy, Yuan Qingquan and a group of old teachers were discussing course matters. They were all worried about something and walked in a hurry, not paying attention to the boy following behind them.

Kong Mao saw them when Dean Yuan and the old masters went to the courtyard gate in a large group to pick up people, and when another large group came back from the uninhabited area in the north.

His curiosity was stirring, and when he saw the teachers' excited and complicated expressions, his curiosity reached its peak.

So Kong Mao left Gao Cong and Hou Baosen behind, asked them to go to the canteen to buy him some cakes, and quickly caught up with Yuan Qingquan and the others.

At first, Kong Mao didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of being discovered by the teachers.

Later, he found that the teachers were in deep thought, as if they were thinking about something, so he followed them a little closer and could hear their conversation.

Yuan Qingquan and the others returned to the meeting room in the academy. Kong Mao lagged behind, feeling extremely curious but not daring to follow them.

This is the teachers' board of directors' office. The teachers and the dean rest after class or correct their homework and papers here. There is someone guarding the door.

Kong Mao waited outside for a while, then thought of an idea and walked to the teachers' board of directors' office. The old servant at the door of the board of directors stopped him with a smile.

"Young Master, which teacher are you going to see?"

Yes, the board of directors does not prohibit students from entering. On the contrary, if you have any questions that you cannot solve, you can come to the board of directors to see if the teacher is there.

However, Kong Mao had always been lazy in school. He had paid more attention to his studies recently, but he had never been to this board of directors' office.

Moreover, most of the people who come to this council office are students from Zhixing School, with occasionally a few from Mingli School and Qizhi School. This old servant has only seen this young man.

Therefore, the old servant stopped Kong Mao, a stranger.

"Uncle Li, I have some doubts that I would like to ask Master Jiang for answers. Is he in there?" Kong Mao put his hands behind his back, with a serious look on his fat face, and he really looked like he was stuck on a difficult problem.

Uncle Li looked at him, with a little more smile in the corners of his eyes.

"Master Jiang is here. If it's a problem, I won't stop you, young master."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

When Kong Mao learned that he could go in, he bowed to Li Bo and trotted in.

Uncle Li looked at his back and shook his head and smiled. What a lively young man! It is rare to meet such a lively young boy in front of the board of directors' office.

Kong Mao trotted all the way in. The board of directors' office was actually a courtyard. He turned around several times before he found the meeting room.

He walked a little closer and heard the words "Qizhi Academy" and then heard "Master Qin".

There was no teacher named Qin in their school. When he paid attention a little, the teachers inside were already discussing how to arrange the course.

Kong Mao was satisfied with just hearing this little bit, and he trotted back.

When passing by the door, Uncle Li wanted to shout at him to slow down, but before he could finish his words, the little boy had already run away. No one knew how his chubby figure could run so fast.

Kong Mao initially ran towards the school, but halfway through, he changed direction and ran towards the dining hall. Blown by the wind, Kong Mao pursed his lips, changed direction, and ran back to the dormitory.

All the students of Qizhi Academy were assigned to the east wing of Qingzhu Garden. After Kong Mao ran back, he took a few breaths.

After Gao Cong and Hou Baosen came back from the dining hall with their meals, they sat outside at the stone table waiting for him.

Seeing his appearance, the two of them asked with concern: "Brother, what happened to you? Why are you running like this?" "Brother, are you hungry? Don't worry, I bought a few more cakes. If you are hungry in the evening, you will have something to eat."

"Huh!" Kong Mao glared at them both, "Something big is happening!"

Xiao Changkong was sitting at the door of the room bored. Kong Mao and the other two did not lower their voices. He raised his eyes and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Chen Zhaoxi poked his head out of the house with pastry crumbs around his mouth.

"What, what are you talking about?"

Seeing someone talking to him, Kong Mao stood up straight and straightened his clothes. He said with a serious look, "It's really a big deal. We are going to have a new teacher in our school."

"what?"

Seeing their surprised expressions, Kong Mao felt a great sense of satisfaction.

"It's true. I heard it when I went to the board of directors."

Sima Sun opened the door and asked, "Kong Mao, what are you guys whispering about?"

After a while, all the people from Qizhi Academy came out and looked at Kong Mao one by one, making him blush a little.

"I saw Dean Yuan and his group on the road, and out of curiosity I followed them, and even went into the board of directors' office, and that's when I heard about it."

Luo Wenxuan asked: "Is there any master who wants to leave? Master Shen or Master Wei?"

The two teachers mentioned by Luo Wenxuan are the oldest teachers in Qizhi School. One is fifty-eight and the other fifty-six, which is considered old in Daqi.

If one of these two teachers wanted to leave and a teacher named Qin came to take over, they would understand.

Kong Mao shook his head. "It's neither Master Shen nor Master Wei, so could it be Master Jiang?" Xiao Changkong said.

"Brother, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now."

"Yeah, yeah, big brother."

Kong Mao said: "There is no teacher leaving. The new teacher Qin wants to teach us something new. I don't quite understand what he is talking about."

"I heard the dean and the others discussing how to schedule classes, so I came back."

Xiao Changkong and several people who were not keen on studying looked depressed. Some people who usually did not pay attention to the class complained, "Why is there another teacher? I have enough headache just doing the homework assigned by Teacher Jiang every day."

"I don't like classes at all. I wonder when we can have horseback archery lessons."
