The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 401

The old man looked at Dieyi's face and said, "What are you doing here, Master Liu? I've come to see Master Xu in person. I have some mundane matters to discuss with him. Could you please inform him?"

Dieyi felt a surge of disdain in her heart. It seemed this old man wasn't any better.

Although she lived with the princess, how could she possibly inform Master Xu?

"You should go find Master Xu yourself."

With a bang, the door was slammed shut, startling the four servants beside Duan Lun, the Minister of Works. They couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, this girl is too arrogant!"

"Doesn't this Jidi Building only have one entrance? How can we go and inform Master Xu again?"

The Minister of Works, Duan Lun, immediately said, "Go and find a gong."

The servant was taken aback at first, then ran off happily. But he returned in the blink of an eye, holding a gong and banging it beside him, soon followed by a deafening cacophony of gongs and drums.

Jin Yang opened her eyes, her large, bright eyes brimming with tears.

This broke Dieyi's heart.

"Don't worry, Princess. I remember what that old geezer looks like. Don't worry, when we get back to the sect, I'll tell my husband to use the most potent poison to kill him."

At this moment, Qin Xian opened the door and let Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, in.

"To be honest, he used to get up early when he was in the army, but now there's not much to do at the yamen and the students at Hongwen Academy are still asleep. So Qin Xian has fallen asleep."

The Minister of Works, Duan Lun, glared at him fiercely and went straight to Xu Tian's room.

Meanwhile, Xu Tian also looked annoyed. He sat on the table and could vaguely hear Jin Yang crying downstairs.

This old geezer selling hemp seeds came so early. He woke up Jinyang, and Jinyang is going to throw a tantrum again. Will he help appease the princess then?

Did he play cards all night to cheer up Princess Gao? Did he come up with new recipes to stop her from causing trouble?

Just then, Xu Tian put down his teacup and saw Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, walk in. Xu Tian usually had a carefree and irresponsible demeanor.

But at this moment, Xu Tianmo's hair was loose over his shoulders, his sword-like eyebrows were raised, and he looked like he was half-drunk, which made him admire the young man in front of him.

The four servants behind Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, were staring at Xu Tian in a daze.

If men are so captivated by their looks, women must be even more infatuated.

Xu Tian chuckled softly, a chuckle as cold as the lotus blossoms in July.

"Minister of Works, this is far too early. What business do you have with me?"

Because it was so early, Xu Tian hadn't gotten up yet. He didn't care about the Minister of Works at all.

The Minister of Works immediately said, "I am indeed early. You young people seem to like to sleep in."

However, now that we are both officials appointed by the court, how can we face the Emperor and the nation if we neglect our duties too much?
