Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

"But I have one more thing I want to ask my second sister."

She had put in her utmost efforts in her marriage with Xu Yan, but her father was still hesitant. She knew what her father was thinking. After all, she was a princess, and the identity of a princess had value in itself, which was marriage for a foreign mission.

He hesitated because he thought he might need her in the future when interacting with other countries. She understood and didn't feel disappointed. After all, he had never given his father the love and care he deserved. He didn't have it, so he wouldn't be disappointed.

"I can help you, but whether it succeeds or not is not up to me."

Wen Ling rubbed the wall of the cup. According to the original story, without the scandal of catching the adulterer, Wen Li and Xu Yan's marriage was indeed delayed for a long time.

As I was thinking, Yuebai's voice came from outside the door.

"Princess, the Crown Prince learned that you haven't had breakfast yet and asked if you would like to dine together?"

Wen Li was surprised that Wen Ling and Shen Jingyou got along quite well in this life.

As they left the house, they saw a young man walking quickly towards them. He was dressed in a white brocade robe and had a tall, straight figure. So, young people have good bodies and can handle beatings. He only took a few lashes last night, but he's full of energy today.

Wen Ling curled her lips, but Wen Li reflexively hid behind her when she saw Shen Jingyou coming towards her.

Wen Ling was stunned. Looking at Wen Li's fearful eyes, was she afraid of Shen Jingyou?

Wen Li was indeed afraid. She had little interaction with Shen Jingyou in her previous life, and the impression Shen Jingyou left on her was when he was madly killing with a sword.

A madman full of gloom and cruelty, his eyes staring at you reveal fear from the bottom of his bones.

"Second sister, don't forget what you promised me. I'm leaving first."

Wen Li finished speaking quickly and left quickly, leaving Shen Jingyou puzzled.

"Why did you want to have breakfast with me?"

Wen Ling's question drew his attention back.

"Isn't it okay? Just look for it if you want."

It’s better not to be awkward. Wen Ling shook her head and chuckled.

Having promised Wen Li, Wen Ling dressed up and went into the palace after breakfast. When she walked out of Chongde Hall, Wen Li stared at the imperial edict in her hand in a daze.

"Father really dotes on my second sister."

Wen Ling raised her hand to block the sunlight, her voice sounding a bit lazy.

"Yes, it is pampering, but it is under the premise that it does not affect his own interests."

Emperor An Chengdi himself is an extremely selfish person. Once something threatens him, he can sacrifice even his most beloved daughter at any time. However, he just likes the scene of a loving father and a filial son, which is also funny.

Wen Li remained silent.

After finishing the work here, Wen Ling took Gu Muqing to the residence of Grand Tutor Su Shuxing in the afternoon.

Now, the second prince Wen Ze and the third prince Wen Heng have basically won over all the officials in the court who can be won over, except for the Duke of Zhenguo who does not take sides. Among the ministers who do not take sides, the most talented one is the Grand Tutor Su Shuxing.

In theory, the rank of the Taifu is no less than that of the Prime Minister, but a scholar should have integrity, and Su Shuxing was a stubborn person. Before Emperor An Cheng ascended the throne, Su Shuxing had offended Emperor An Cheng.

He was also given the title of Taifu by the late emperor. After Emperor An Cheng ascended the throne, he did not remove him from the position of Taifu for the sake of the late emperor's face, but he also stripped him of his power. It can be said that he was a man of talent but was not appreciated. Now he only has the title of Taifu but can only stay at home idle.

Coincidentally, when the Gu family was still in existence, they had a very good relationship with the Su family. The old man of the Gu family even saved the life of the Grand Tutor. Wen Ling did not avoid people, and Gu Muqing entered the Grand Tutor's house together as a servant disguised as her.

Su Qinghe saw her figure from a distance, frowned and looked at the servant beside him and asked, "Princess Xuanning, what are you doing here?"

The servant bowed his head and replied, "He said he came to see the master."

Su Qinghe concentrated his thoughts. It was unbelievable that a princess would come to see the officials of the court without any hesitation. He looked at the man following Wen Ling.

Su Qinghe chuckled. This was interesting. Wasn't that man the one he saw in the restaurant?

Su Shuxing was puzzled when he heard the servants say that Princess Xuanning was coming to visit, but she was a princess after all, and as a subject he had to see her.

After clearing out the servants from the study, Su Shuxing stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, now you are willing to tell me what you want from me."

Wen Ling smiled, her voice leisurely, "I came here to ask the Grand Tutor if he would like to be the teacher of the next emperor of Daxuan."

Wen Xu's teacher came from the Hanlin Academy. Emperor An Cheng did not care about this, and the officials from the Hanlin Academy who came to teach were also extremely perfunctory. They all thought they understood everything and knew that the one who would ascend the throne in the future would be either the second prince Wen Ze or the third prince Wen Heng.

They were perfunctory in their teaching of Wen Xu's studies. After all, no matter how well they taught, it would not bring them any benefits. If they taught with all their heart, they might even offend the two princes.

Wen Ling's words were so bold that Su Shuxing threw the teacup in his hand heavily.

"Please be careful with your words, Princess."

The old tutor got angry, and the beard on his chin began to float.

"Taifu, why are you so angry? You have great talent but are unable to display it. I just want to give you a chance to realize your ambitions."

Su Shuxing thought these words were extremely outrageous. The old tutor flicked his sleeves, snorted, and turned his back.

"Personally raising an emperor is a rare opportunity that will be remembered for generations to come."

"I, an old minister, do not serve as an official for that little bit of empty reputation."

"Then, Grand Tutor, can you just watch the Su family decline? I know you have a proud character, but you are also not worldly-wise. Unlike the Duke of Zhenguo, you command a large army and if you are disloyal to the emperor, you could easily be suspected of treason. The reason you don't take sides is because you look down on my second and third brothers. You only teach those you think are talented, otherwise you wouldn't have offended my father back then."

In the past, the late emperor asked Su Shuxing to be the teacher of Emperor An Cheng, but Su Shuxing declined. Later, it was rumored that Su Shuxing looked down on Emperor An Cheng and was unwilling to teach him, and this was indeed the case.

"The old minister dare not."

Su Shuxing's voice was cold and hard.

Wen Ling chuckled, "But Wen Xu is different. He's still young, and right now he's like a blank sheet of paper. You decide what to fill in and how to fill it."

Su Shuxing turned back, but his tone was still bad.

"A child's future can be seen from a young age. The Sixth Prince is already seven years old. How could he be a blank slate?"

This is loosening up, "Then why not let the Taifu test him and see if he is a talented person who can be molded."

Su Shuxing was speechless now. He had been idle at home for many years because he had offended Emperor An Cheng, and it was not without resentment. Although he was frustrated by his ambitions and lack of a place to use them, Emperor An Cheng was not the king he wanted to assist.

Now the second prince is ruthless, and the third prince seems gentle but it is only on the surface. The two of them look down on him, an old minister who has been sidelined, and he also looks down on these two princes.

"Now, behind the Second Prince is Duke Rui, and behind the Third Prince is Prime Minister Xu. I'm curious what the princess can do to fight these two. Could it be that she's relying on Duke Zhenguo Shen Jingyuan?"

That's a joke.

Wen Ling was not angry when Su Shuxing mocked her. After all, everyone knew that Princess Xuanning was arrogant and domineering. Who would think that such a princess had brains?

"Of course not, but you don't have to worry about that. I have my own plans. If you agree, all you have to do is teach Wen Xu well."

Su Shuxing snorted coldly, "That's easy to say. The Emperor will agree to let this old minister teach the Sixth Prince."

Wen Ling chuckled. Su Shuxing was testing her by saying this.

"Why not? What the Emperor wants is a princess who is not scheming but can satisfy his ideal of filial piety. I actually recommended a minister who had offended him to teach my brother. He would just think that my daughter is just fooling around."

"What about the Second and Third Princes?"

"Of course, they will only feel more at ease with Wen Xu. After all, you refused to be Father's teacher. If Wen Xu excels under your guidance, it would be a slap in Father's face. As long as he is taught by you, they will feel at ease."

Su Shuxing stroked his beard slowly.

"The princess sees things clearly."

This statement is free of coldness and sarcasm, it simply states the facts.

Su Shuxing narrowed his eyes and said, "This old minister can agree, but the Sixth Prince still needs to test his teachings."

"It's natural."
