Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

After another morning court session, Xiao Zuoming and Cheng Qian, who had just finished court, exchanged clothes and then headed towards their respective "destinations".

Cheng Qian yawned as he arrived at the academy gate and put on his mask reluctantly.

This day, he had to get up early in the morning to go to the morning court, and then rush to the school immediately after lunch. He was just a small official in the Ministry of Rites, but his life was so busy.

Cheng Qian walked into the classroom listlessly, without even looking up at the podium, and mechanically bowed in that direction.

"Teacher Luo, the students are here."

But when he stood up, he noticed that today, not only his former teacher was sitting in front of him, but also three people he had never seen before.

"Teacher Luo, these three are..."

Cheng Qian was a little confused.

“I don’t know these three teachers either.”

Mr. Luo spoke confidently, with a cold expression on his face, not caring about the faces of the three old men beside him. Cheng Qian raised his eyebrows, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.

Sure enough, the three people beside him looked at him in disbelief when they heard what Mr. Luo said. Mr. Luo received their looks and said in an innocent tone.

"I have never been to the imperial court, and I don't know you gentlemen. But since you can move around freely in the palace, you must be some prominent figures. I dare not flatter you casually."

Cheng Qian couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh when he heard Mr. Luo say this. He is indeed His Royal Highness Prince Yun's man. He can anger him with just a few words.

Cheng Qian's little move was also noticed by the three men. The words of a teacher who had no official rank and came out of nowhere made the three men dissatisfied. The young man in front of them actually dared to laugh at them blatantly. He really didn't know etiquette! One of the adults pointed his finger at him and scolded him.

"How dare you, a nobody, laugh at us! Can the Cheng family's current tutors only produce people like you? Do you know who we are?"

It doesn't matter if Cheng Qian talks about him, he has been used to being talked about since he was a child, but talking about the Cheng family is absolutely unacceptable! So Cheng Qian frowned, bowed with both hands, and then asked back.

"Mr. Old Man, what you said is not right.

First of all, this is my school, and you three are uninvited outsiders. Mr. Luo and I's time is also very precious. Now you three have affected my teaching without any expression, which seems to be impolite.

Secondly, when I came in and saw the three gentlemen, I said I didn't know them. After all, I am old and I am not familiar with the appearance of the older generation. The three gentlemen could have introduced themselves. I would have known your names. But you three didn't introduce yourselves, so how could I have guessed?

Finally, I do not have good qualifications, so I came to the school to study. I wonder what this has to do with the Cheng family's tutoring? This old gentleman attacked the Cheng family from the beginning. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the Cheng family? The Cheng family dare not say that they have made any contributions to the country in the court, but they are also an honest family praised by the emperor himself, and they have done a lot of good things for the country and the people. I wonder what the adults mean by what they said just now? Or do you want to go to the Cheng family to experience the Cheng family tutoring in person? "

The more Cheng Qian spoke, the stronger his aura became. In the end, he even had a kind of deterrent power, which made the three people beside him open their eyes wide in disbelief. They looked at each other and wondered: Didn't they say that the kid from the Cheng family was a waste? How could the adjustment be so clear? This aura didn't seem to be possessed by people from the Ministry of Rites.

Mr. Luo, who was standing farthest away, had a smug look on his face: "This kid performed well today, he is worthy of being trained by me~ Humph, you three old guys are frustrated~ I let you act so arrogantly in front of me just now!"

The three old men glanced at each other, and the one in the middle stood out, flicked his sleeves, and snorted through his nostrils.

"So you admit that you are Cheng Qian, the son of the Cheng family?"

Cheng Qian put one hand behind his back and held the other hand in front of his chest, an action that really revealed some of his scholarly temperament.

"Why is it so hard to admit this? I will never change my name, my surname, Cheng Qian~"

When the three heard him admit it, they instantly looked proud.

"Humph, Cheng Qian, do you admit your guilt?"

"Oh? I don't know. Why don't you just tell me directly?"

"Humph~ How dare you pretend to be the emperor and enter the academy on his behalf! You should know that the teacher that His Royal Highness Prince Yun invited on behalf of the emperor is teaching the art of being an emperor. How dare you, a small official from the Ministry of Rites, take his place!"

"Then according to what you said, what will be the consequences if I attend the class for the emperor?"

"Humph, you, a mere ant, have tarnished the emperor's reputation and prevented him from learning the art of being an emperor. You should be beheaded!"

After hearing this, Cheng Qian looked as if he suddenly understood something.

"Oh, so that's it~"

Seeing his attitude, the man scolded him again.

"He is stubborn and refuses to change his ways despite repeated admonitions! Come, arrest him!"

The old man waved his hand, and Mu Dai, who had been hiding somewhere, jumped out with a few eunuchs, looking like they were going to arrest Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian was not in a hurry, and Teacher Luo also looked as if it was none of his business.

"It's actually Mu. Old man, you better think carefully. It won't do you any good to kidnap me~"

Cheng Qian showed his face and kindly reminded with a smile.

"Humph, you have no respect for your superiors. Take him down now!"

Just when Mu Dai and others were about to take action, a scolding came from outside the yard.

"Let's see who dares!"

Hearing this voice, the three old men and Mu Dai and others were all startled. They looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Prince Yun and his guards. The moment Mu Dai saw Prince Yun, he was like a wilted eggplant, lowering his head and hiding behind the little eunuch.

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

The leader of the three old men curled his lips and muttered softly.

"Great! Now let Prince Yun see for himself what the Emperor has done and how he is shielding these two people!"

Xiao Zuochen, followed by Yun Feng and others, walked in aggressively. Everyone saluted when they saw King Yun.

"Your Highness Prince Yun."

"Greetings to His Majesty the Cloud King~"

Even the three old men who prided themselves on their noble status had to bow to Xiao Zuochen.

Xiao Zuochen looked around, nodded at Mr. Luo and Cheng Qian when they looked at each other, and then spoke to everyone.

"No gifts."

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yun~"

As soon as they stood up, the three old guys couldn't wait to ask King Yun to convict them.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, as everyone knows, you have hired several famous teachers for the Emperor, but look at this man - he is just a small official from the Ministry of Rites, and he dared to enter the classroom on behalf of the Emperor! And the Emperor, isn't this behavior of the Emperor a waste of Prince Yun's efforts?"

As the old man spoke, there was still a hint of disappointment and indignation on his face.

Xiao Zuochen raised his eyes and looked at them, his lips slightly raised and his thin lips slightly opened.

"I don't want you to bother guessing what I'm thinking, Master Qi!"
