The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

The group entered the palace and came to the upper study. Xie Yue asked the people around him to guard the door.

Lu Shi was sleeping soundly with his book upright, smacking his lips as if he was eating something delicious in his dream.

Xie Yue walked forward and knocked the upright book down. The sound of the book hitting the table woke Lu Shi up.

She opened her eyes lazily and found that it was Xie Yue standing in front of her, but she still did not move.

"Why is the prince here?"

Xie Yue glanced at the notebook on the table. He could not tell whether he was happy or angry. "The Grand Tutor came to me to complain early this morning."

"Oh?" Lu Shi raised his eyebrows. "What bad things did the teacher say about me?"

Xie Yue didn't answer, but simply stated the facts calmly: "This is the ninth teacher that His Majesty has driven away."

Lu Shi boldly put his legs on the table in front of Xie Yue and complained to him, "These teachers are so pedantic. Not only are their lectures boring, but they also always make me dream."

She raised her eyes again and spoke in a righteous tone, "I just said a few words and they ran away, and even came to you to complain. This shows that they are not very capable, but they are full of temper. How can such people be worthy of teaching me!"

"Your Majesty said so."

"Hahaha, Your Highness, you also think what I said is right, right?"

"I thought Your Majesty was deliberately trying to drive people away, but it turns out these teachers are just trying to gain fame."

Lu Shi smiled and said, "That's right."

"However," Xie Yue said after a few moments of hesitation, "there is no suitable teacher in the court to teach Your Majesty."

"Really?!" Lu Shi's eyes lit up, and she seemed to realize that her tone was wrong at this moment. She then sighed with pretended regret.

"What a pity! It seems I'll have to figure it out on my own from now on."

"No need."

A clear voice sounded, and Lu Shi suddenly looked towards Xie Yue. He had an impeccable smile on his face, and uttered words that shocked Lu Shi like a bolt from the blue.

"From now on, I will teach Your Majesty."

"No no no."

Lu Shi quickly waved his hand to refuse, "Your Highness is so busy with government affairs, I don't want you to bother with such a small matter."

Xie Yue's smile deepened. "Because of this, I will place even greater emphasis on your Majesty's studies. Once you have completed your studies, I will hand over all the government affairs I am responsible for to your Majesty."

"Ah this..."

How can this regent speak so nicely and even say that he will hand over all government affairs to him? How is that possible!

No one who holds such great power will give it up easily.

No one would believe what he said.

Besides, her mission and rights in this world have nothing to do with her, so she doesn't want to take on such a big mess for no reason.

"Your Majesty, I feel..."

"That's settled."

Xie Yue looked at Lu with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Starting tomorrow, all of Your Majesty's courses will be taught by me. I hope Your Majesty is well prepared."

Lu Shizheng stood up, wanting to make another effort for his happy life. "I think the late emperor was indeed foresighted in handing over the affairs of the court to Your Highness. I was narrow-minded in the past and actually thought Your Highness had no second thoughts."

"Now that I know your loyalty, I will naturally not do the same thing as before. Your Highness can continue to manage the affairs of the court and does not need to distract himself from teaching me."

Did you hear that? I just want to eat, drink, and have fun now. I have no interest in power and won't pick on you like I did before. And I trust you very much. I believe you are loyal to me.

Just go ahead and do whatever you want, I won't stop you.

So don't worry about me, just maintain the status quo.

Xie Yue let out a cold smile. "Once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. Your Majesty, there is no need to persuade me. It is my duty to teach Your Majesty to become a talent."

After hearing Xie Yue's words, Lu Shi's face almost wrinkled into a bitter gourd.

It seems that what she said just now did not have any effect at all, because of the stupid things the original owner had done before, Xie Yue now has no trust in her at all.

Oh, why didn’t you come here earlier!

As a result, she now has to gain Xie Yue's trust in order to complete the task properly, otherwise she is afraid that Xie Yue will kill her silently at any time.

Lu Shi had a severe headache, and after a long while he spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that the Grand Tutor is quite good, otherwise..."

Or she should find that old man back. She still knows which one to choose between Xie Yue and the old man.

Xie Yue's lips curled up into a smile again, and he said to Lu Shi with a hint of meaning, "The Grand Tutor should be happy to hear this, but he has just asked for leave from me, and I have granted it."

Well, she had just made the old man angry and leave, so how could he possibly come back to continue teaching her.

Lu Shi was so angry that he cursed himself in his heart.

If I had known, I would not have done these little tricks. I originally wanted to piss off the teacher and prove her ignorance, so that she could get rid of the difficulty of having to study after finally becoming an emperor. I didn't expect that I would end up losing more than I gained.

Xie Yue looked at Lu Shi's annoyed expression and the smile on his lips deepened. His smile was gentle but very firm, and his tone carried a hint of unwillingness to refuse: "From now on, Your Majesty will get up at 11:00 AM and rest at 11:00 PM."

"...What if you can't do it?" Lu Shi asked Xie Yue cautiously.

What a damn schedule! Isn't this going to kill her?

"If you can't do it," Xie Yue let out a chuckle, "If you want to accomplish great things, you must first make your mind and spirit suffer, your muscles and bones tired, your body hungry and empty, and your actions frustrated. So, let's start with your majesty's food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Lu Shi:......

Threat, a definite threat!

What a fucked up life! How did he even have the nerve to ask for her opinion?

Even if she says no, what can she do? It's not her turn to decide.

This person simply deserves to be scolded!

Lu Shi gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last few words: "Your Majesty is right."

For her delicious food, for her big and soft dragon bed, for her super luxurious chariot, she endured!

In the evening, looking at the luxurious meal on the table, Lu Shi smiled with satisfaction, and the anger that Xie Yue had provoked in the morning also dissipated in an instant.

Xie Yue is her breadwinner, so what if he controls her? She shouldn't be ungrateful.

Taking a bite of the tender and juicy chicken leg, Lu Shi sighed: "Alas, I don't envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I only envy this beautiful world!"

"Awoo!" Lu Shi pounced on his prey like a hungry tiger, and bit off another large piece of leg meat.

Xiao Kangzi served her food at the dining table.

"Your Majesty, this drunken shrimp dish was specially prepared for you by the Imperial Kitchen. I heard it's a new creation they made. The meat is delicious, the flavor is unique, and it has a special flavor."

Well, now we have drunken shrimps. This era is so advanced!

"Okay, I want to try it!"

As expected, this body couldn't drink any alcohol, so Lu Shi got drunk after eating just a few shrimps.

She waved everyone away and stumbled towards her dragon bed, then went crazy drunkenly...

……

At the same time, in the Regent's Palace.

A mechanical voice sounded, but the guards standing beside Xie Yue did not react at all, as if they did not hear any sound.

"Host, he is drunk. I didn't find anything unusual. Lu Shi should be a native. Host, don't worry. You just need to complete the task or collect enough points and you can go home."

"Current mission progress: 30%."
