Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 156 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (27)
Shi Qing was good at tempering his will. Zhongjing practiced sword skills diligently every day, but he still couldn't beat Shi Qing, which made him feel inexplicably frustrated.
However, he became more courageous with each setback.
Shi Qing would occasionally let the prince off, but the prince had made visible progress and his health had improved a lot. He no longer had the time to be sad about the passing of time or stay in bed.
The voices of discussion in the court gradually died down, and the prince's progress was obvious to all.
Under Shi Qing's dietary adjustments, the prince's health improved a lot. He no longer looked as skinny as before. Instead, his cheeks became rounder and he looked more handsome.
Emperor Mingde was very relieved, and the court affairs could be handed over to the prince to handle. Zhongjing never rejected the court again.
On the contrary, he was particularly attentive when it came to matters concerning the people. However, the increasingly good relationship between the emperor and the prince was not something that the court factions were happy to see.
Concubine Yu has always placed her hopes on the fifth prince, Zong Zhenghao, but the fifth prince is mediocre and only wants to be an idle prince, and is too lazy to participate in party disputes.
In a fit of rage, Concubine Yu cut off the fifth prince's source of money. Zong Zhenghao had no choice but to submit and follow Concubine Yu's arrangements.
Zong Zhenghao was forced to start learning to read and write, and to take part in a major examination a month later. Although it was called a major examination, it was actually an assessment of the prince by Emperor Mingde.
"Hao'er, don't blame your mother for being cruel. It's just for the future of our Yu family. We have to fight for it even if we don't want to. Your eldest sister has always loved you, but now she has been driven away to the Cui family by your father and has suffered so much. Don't you want to support your sister?"
Zong Zhenghao rolled his eyes. He grew up under the torture of his elder sister, so how could he not know Princess Yongning's temperament? It was fine if no one bullied her, but how could anyone bully her?
What my mother said is becoming increasingly unreliable.
"My brother is intelligent and has the support of Marquis Ning'an. Mother wants me to compete with my brother the Crown Prince, but I know myself well."
Concubine Yu glared at her good-for-nothing son and ordered her servants to hang him up and beat him, then lock him up in the palace without giving him any food.
Zong Zhenghao refused to compromise, and the mother and son remained in a stalemate until they almost fainted from hunger, and finally had no choice but to give in to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu invited a great scholar from the Yu family to teach Zong Zhenghao, trying to surpass the prince in reputation.
However, Concubine Yu did not want the prince to win easily, so she began to send people to spread rumors intentionally or unintentionally.
Rumors spread in the harem. Some said that the queen's death could have been avoided because the emperor was afraid of the queen's maternal family.
Moreover, the emperor wants to change the crown prince. Otherwise, why would he be so indulgent to the crown prince?
The news about the harem was everywhere, but when it reached the ears of Crown Prince Zhongjing, he remained calm and didn't believe a single word of it.
Shi Qing saw that the prince's temperament had become more calm and he was no longer as melancholic as before, so he spoke approvingly.
"What does the prince think about this matter?"
Zhongjing was originally practicing calligraphy. Upon hearing Shi Qing's question, he put down the copybook in his hand and spoke slowly.
"My father was a wise ruler. Although my mother died for him, the relationship between them was very loving. Others want to use this opportunity to smear my father. I can only say that their methods are too despicable."
Shi Qing was very satisfied, "Your Highness has grown up. He will definitely be like the emperor and a wise ruler in the world."
Zhong Jing stood up and bowed to Shi Qing. "Master, that's what I taught you. Zhong Jing will never dwell on trivial matters now."
Born in an imperial family, all blessings and misfortunes are gifts from God, and he must not only keep the power in his hands, but also protect his father's kingdom.
"Noble Concubine Yu is not a quiet person. Your Highness, please be careful in the palace. Tomorrow is your last class. I hope Your Highness will take care of himself in the future."
Shi Qing has been busy for half a month. Being the prince's teacher is not easy. Although he has some knowledge reserves, he has to figure out many social customs and behaviors by himself.
Fortunately, they are all things I am good at, so it is not difficult.
I only hope that the prince will be a wise ruler in the future and know how to control the emperor's art. In this way, the people of Yanjing will be blessed in the future.
Zhong Jing looked at Shi Qing with some disappointment, "Master, are you leaving? I haven't even finished my apprenticeship yet."
Shi Qing patted his shoulder and said, "Your Highness's martial arts skills have improved, and he has always been gifted in his studies. My role is minimal. I only hope that Your Highness can move on and not dwell on the past."
Zhongjing originally thought that Shi Qing was best at reading and teaching, but he never expected that her greatest skill was actually swordsmanship.
That day, with peach blossoms and light rain, she held up a sword in her hand and fought with the Jinwu Guards.
However, the powerful Jinwu Guard was forced to retreat after only three moves with Shi Qing.
From then on, every move the prince learned came from Shi Qing. Although he was not a powerful master, he had the ability to protect himself.
"Yes, Zhongjing knows."
Shi Qing was wearing a round-necked robe, looking very heroic. Although he was not tall, he had an imposing aura.
"Chunlin, bring up the gift I gave to His Highness."
Chunlin was standing by and when he heard Shi Qing's instructions, he quickly picked up a long and narrow black box and handed it to Shi Qing.
Inside was a black sword blade, which was the gift Shi Qing had ordered half a month ago. There was a sword tassel tied on it, which looked small and exquisite.
"Your Highness, this is your departure gift. May you be safe and happy, and may you never forget your original aspiration."
Zhongjing took the sword box, and the scenes he saw on the city wall that day emerged in his mind.
"Master, I will."
Always remember the promise he made. If he succeeds to the throne one day, he will never forget where he came from.
The sun was setting in the west. In the past, Zhongjing only wanted to finish his training, but today he felt inexplicably reluctant to leave. It was not until Shi Qing left the East Palace that he came to his senses.
Looking at the brocade box in his hand, he took out the sword and danced with it skillfully, imitating Shi Qing's past moves.
The sword energy was like a rainbow, and a peach blossom was cut down from the peach tree. He was as tall as jade, put away the sword in his hand, and beautifully held the sword flower.
The peach blossom rain fell, but the person next to me left after all.
Zhong Jing's eyes were like torches. He covered his chest and spoke in a low voice.
"Master, I have never forgotten what you said."
