If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Originally, Zhou Wu's teaching of the royal family was unknown to outsiders because no one cared about it. However, after Zhou Wu had been teaching for a while, the Imperial Academy exposed the matter.

The cause of the matter is quite simple. The Imperial Academy is the most prestigious institution of learning in the Great Dragon Kingdom, responsible for the education of all the outstanding students in the kingdom. The Imperial Academy is also responsible for the royal family's educational arrangements.

Generally, princes and princesses over the age of ten would be taught by teachers from the Imperial Academy, while those under the age of ten would be taught by outstanding students recommended by the Imperial Academy.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wu's appearance broke this rule. The Imperial Academy had already recommended a student, but because of Zhou Wu's appearance, the recommended student naturally didn't need to go anymore.

The student was dissatisfied that such a great honor had been snatched away by someone else. He began to spread rumors that Zhou Wu had taken his position by flattery and that he had also neglected the duties of the royal family members.

. . . . . . . .

To be honest, Zhou Wu was indeed a bit of a slacker. He never taught important things like classical Chinese texts in class. Instead, he would either tell stories or take a bunch of princes and princesses on wild adventures.

"Teacher, what are we going to play today?"

Since taking Zhou Wu's class, the mischievous child has changed his previous aversion to school and now even looks forward to going to class early and leaving school late every day.

"Today we're going to the hunting grounds."

"Yay, are we going hunting?"

"But now it's winter, and there's nothing to hunt."

"We're not going hunting today; we're going to see the hibernating animals."

Zhou Wu used to hate studying, so he knew that interest was the most important thing in learning. Only by arousing students' interest in learning will they take the initiative to learn.

Especially for children, that's why Zhou Wu incorporates learning knowledge into stories and life.

. . . . . .

The Royal Hunting Grounds are where the royal family hunts in the autumn.

"I'll have you set up a lasso trap first, and then we'll see if we can get anything."

Looking at the traps he had set, Zhou Wu remembered when he first came to this world. Back then, he also had to travel through the mountains and forests just to make a living.

Lasso traps may seem simple, but they are actually not complicated. While playing with them, Zhou Wu also explained the principle of lasso traps to everyone. This way, the kids can learn something without getting bored.

Do you know why you rarely see animals outside in winter?

"Because it's too cold outside."

"Haha, not bad, you're right."

They're still just kids; their answers to questions are so naive.

"Actually, besides the cold weather, there is another reason, which is that many animals sleep in winter, which I call hibernation."

"Hibernation? Do they sleep through the entire winter?"

Aside from listening to Journey to the West, chubby Li Qingsheng is generally averse to outdoor activities, mainly because he's too lazy; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so fat.

“You’re right, they really do sleep all winter.”

"Hmph, lying."

"Little Fatty, don't worry, let me explain. Hibernation is a state. Simply put, because of the cold weather and lack of food in winter, animals choose to sleep in order to ensure they can survive the winter. Sleeping can minimize the consumption of the body's energy."

"You said yes?"

The chubby boy was definitely a troublemaker, but Zhou Wu still patiently explained.

Why are prey at their fattest in autumn?

"Well, because the fruits ripen in autumn, and the animals have a good diet."

Zhou Wu was already cursing inwardly. It was a shame that this little bastard wasn't a comedian.

"Yes, that's because animals eat a lot in autumn, but not because there's plenty of food in autumn. It's because they need to store up more fat for hibernation in winter. Fat is like meat, just like you."

Zhou Wu's veiled insults drew laughter from the others.

You little brat, come and fight me.

. . . . . . . .

Zhou Wu, accompanied by a group of young boys, carrying the prey he had caught, arrived at Gu's Restaurant, ready to have it cooked.

"Hey, Lao Zhou, there's still such a big bunch around. Are you the Pirate King now?"

Gu Changqing was in an exceptionally good mood these days because the storyteller was telling Journey to the West in the shop, which caused the Gu Family Restaurant's turnover to increase several times over.

"Oh, these little brats are all princes and princesses."

Zhou Wu looked indifferent, but he scared Gu Changqing half to death.

What outrageous things did I just say? Is it too late to make amends?

"Oh my, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping so loudly at the door this morning. It turns out we have distinguished guests. Gentlemen and ladies, please come in. Gu Family Restaurant is the best restaurant in the capital. I guarantee you will be satisfied. I am Gu Changqing, and I am happy to serve you."

Gu Changqing knew the rules of the palace; one had to be observant when out in public. It was obvious that the prince and grandson of the emperor were traveling incognito.

"We know you. To be honest, you almost bankrupted these restaurants. If it weren't for the teacher's intervention, you would have gone back to your hometown long ago."

The chubby boy's mouth was indeed quite annoying, but at this moment Zhou Wu had to give him a thumbs up; he liked the chubby boy's indiscriminate attacks.

"Uh, yes, yes, young master is right, please come in. Who is this chubby kid? He's so annoying."

They had just greeted him with a smile and ushered him inside when they turned to Zhou Wu with a dark expression and asked him a question.

"The thirteenth prince, Li Qingsheng."

Zhou Wu said calmly, but Gu Changqing's expression changed again.

"Oh my, no wonder he's got personality, he's the thirteenth prince."

"It's such a waste that you didn't become a eunuch."

This is Zhou Wu's latest evaluation of Gu Changqing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what would you like to eat? Our restaurant has the best seafood and stir-fries in the capital. We guarantee you will be satisfied."

Gu Changqing personally disguised himself as a waiter to serve these princes and grandsons of the emperor.

"Process this first."

Zhou Wu tossed the pheasants and wild ducks he had caught at Gu Changqing's feet before ordering the food.

Despite these children being of pure royal blood, to be honest, their meals in the palace are not necessarily as good as this.

The palace had a very strict hierarchy. From the empress and concubines to the eunuchs and maids, everyone had a rank. Their monthly stipends and allowances were determined according to their rank, and the Imperial Treasury would distribute them strictly according to the registration.

The palace is actually a very realistic and cruel place. Favored princes and princesses have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Like Li Xixue, whose mother was the empress, she was born into a very high social class. In addition to a high monthly stipend, she often received rewards from the emperor and empress. Therefore, her treatment in the palace was second only to the emperor and empress.

However, there were also those who were not favored, or whose birth mothers were of low status. In those cases, their treatment in the palace might only be slightly better than that of palace maids, barely enough to eat and wear.
