The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

She looked at Song Siyao with a smug expression and said, "Mr. Song, it's too late for you to admit your mistake now. Once Master Luo Qing arrives, you'll be waiting to be punished!"

As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Yang Qian's voice rang out, "What brings Master Guo here?"

“Headmaster, I invited Master Guo.” Chen Chen explained, “The academy is holding a calligraphy competition in May, and I invited Master Guo to give a lecture in advance. I would like to invite her to be a judge during the competition.”

Yang Qian beamed with delight, “This is an excellent idea.”

Guo Fen is well-known in the calligraphy world, and many aristocratic families in Beijing admire her calligraphy.

At the height of her fame, she was a household name in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, in recent years, her fame has declined year by year.

But, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

With Guo Fen present, the academy's calligraphy competition will surely attract funding from prominent families, making the competition a very lively event.

With funding from aristocratic families, the academy can offer even better prizes.

With better prizes, everyone played even more diligently in the competition.

If the competition is well-organized and produces high-quality works, he will select some to present to Emperor Changlong. If Emperor Changlong is pleased, he might reward him with something, such as a promotion or a higher rank.

Chen Chen glanced at Jiang Yu; it was the two of them who had come here.

Jiang Yu is Guo Fen's only apprentice.

Guo Fen's arrival brought with it Jiang Yu's face.

In particular, Jiang Yuruo received the title of the first teacher of the academy, which was awarded to her by Guo Fen, making this honor even more significant.

This idea came from Chen Chen; it was his way of currying favor with Jiang Yu.

When Yang Qian heard that Guo Fen had arrived, the way he looked at Jiang Yu changed.

Jiang Yu's expression became even more aloof, but deep down she felt increasingly smug.

"Mr. Song, why don't you apologize to everyone?"

Yang Qian didn't dare to offend Song Siyao directly, so he spoke in a very tactful tone.

"While Master Luo Qing is not yet here, let's put this matter behind us and never mention it again. This matter will only be known within our academy and will absolutely not spread outside. Apart from those present, no outsiders will know about it."

Yang Qian treated even a nobody like Guo Fen with utmost respect, so he certainly wouldn't dare offend someone of Luo Qing's stature.

If we could invite Luo Qing to be a judge for the academy's calligraphy competition, this competition would be unprecedented.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot offend Luo Qing because of Song Siyao's matter.

Otherwise, the losses would be huge!

Song Si raised an eyebrow. "You mean you've decided I plagiarized?"

Yang Qian forced a smile. "Mr. Song, the evidence is right here..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear enough.

"Headmaster Yang, if your eyes are useless, just gouge them out," Mr. Song said sarcastically.

Yang Qian dared not scold Song Siyao, and could only awkwardly smile, not daring to be angry or speak.

“Princess Youfeng, we have already given you a chance, but you did not cherish it. The punishment that follows is one that even a princess cannot bear!” Jiang Yu warned coldly.

At this moment, the group arrived at Baihuating, and the person in the lead was Guo Fen.

"Master."

Jiang Yu turned around, walked with dignified yet hurried steps to Guo Fen, knelt on one knee, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Disciple greets Master."

Guo Fen was dressed in purple, was thin, and had a scholarly air about her.

She helped Jiang Yu up with both hands, her face full of affection, "Yu'er, please get up quickly."

Jiang Yuke is the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang, and has a noble status and a distinguished family background.

Moreover, she herself is indeed very talented.

Therefore, Guo Fen naturally adored this apprentice.

“Yu’er, come quickly and greet Master Luo Qing,” Guo Fen said.

Luo Qing stood next to Guo Fen. The first thing she saw when she came in was Song Siyao.

Song Siyao also saw her.

The two exchanged a glance, and Luo Qing understood Song Siyao's signal. She did not greet Song Siyao.

She saw Yan Wei for the second time. Their eyes met, and without exchanging words, they understood what each other wanted to express.

Upon hearing Guo Fen's words, Luo Qing withdrew her gaze.

Jiang Yu immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Luo."

Luo Qing simply nodded slightly, not even bothering to look directly at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had no doubts about Luo Qing's coldness. Everyone knew that Luo Qing was proud and aloof, always giving off an unapproachable vibe.

"Master Luo, Master Guo." Yang Qian followed over, bowed to the two, and said politely, "Your presence is an honor to our academy."

"You're too kind, Headmaster Yang. My son and I have been well taken care of by you at the academy," Guo Fen said with a smile.

"Master Guo, you flatter me. It is a great fortune for the academy to have a talent like Mr. Jiang." Yang Qian praised Jiang Yu, making Guo Fen proud.

Guo Fen's smile became even more amiable, and the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

In the world of calligraphy, she may not be the most famous, but her students are definitely the most outstanding.

Having an apprentice means having someone to rely on in the future.

Being the tutor of the prime minister's daughter—that's enough for her to live off for the rest of her life.

"Master Luo, there is something I need your decision on today." Jiang Yu's goal was clear: she wanted to deal with Song Siyao, so she had no interest in listening to Guo Fen and Yang Qian flattering each other.

"What is it?" Luo Qing asked coldly.

“Someone is imitating the handwriting of your master, Master Qi,” Jiang Yu said.

“There are plenty of people who imitate my master, what’s so strange about that?” Luo Qing’s tone was even colder.

"No, it would be one thing to imitate under normal circumstances, but today the academy is selecting the top teacher, and someone is imitating Master Qi's handwriting in the competition. It's not just imitation, it's an exact copy! This is plagiarism! This is cheating! It's an insult to Master Qi's reputation!"

Jiang was filled with righteous indignation and stood up for Qi Ran.

"Who dares to be so arrogant?" Luo Qing raised his eyebrows, a cold glint in his eyes.

Jiang Yu was excited and pointed at Song Siyao, saying, "It's her!"

A slight smile played on her lips, a chill running through her eyes. Song Siyao, you're in for it!

Unexpectedly, Luo Qing's gaze fell on Song Siyao, and she said indifferently, "She's fine."

Jiang Yu was surprised by Luo Qing's nonchalant "It's nothing." She asked, "Why?"

"I don't need to explain to you." Luo Qing's voice turned three degrees colder.

Jiang Yu had a sudden inspiration and immediately had an answer in her mind. "Master Luo, you can't be afraid of her just because she's a princess. After all, your master's reputation is more important."

She was putting pressure on Luo Qing.

If Luo Qing doesn't punish Song Siyao today, people will say that Luo Qing is afraid of power and doesn't even protect his own master's reputation.

Luo Qing looked at Jiang Yu with a cold expression. "Miss Jiang, although I am disgusted by your threats, you are right. My master's reputation is the most important thing."

Jiang was exposed and looked extremely embarrassed.

However, the thought of Luo Qing about to confront Song Siyao instantly overshadowed her embarrassment with excitement.

Luo Qing strode up to Song Siyao, knelt down on both knees, and performed a deep bow, "Disciple Luo Qing greets Master!"
