Zu An replied: "As the Crown Prince and Tutor, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess should indeed serve you tea respectfully and salute you during lectures."
The big fat prince on the side nodded his head and agreed stupidly: "Yes, yes."
The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows. She just had a crush on this guy, but now he comes here? And the Crown Prince's stupidity is really tiring.
Only King Qi remained calm. With his current rank, he naturally knew that the other party would definitely have something to say next.
As expected, Zu An continued: "It's just that before or after teaching every day, King Qi is no longer a teacher at that time. As the saying goes, there is a difference between king and minister. Shouldn't you also bow to the prince when you see him?"
King Qi raised his eyebrows, this guy was sharp-tongued, but it did pose a problem for him.
Zu An immediately looked at the prince: "Your Highness, have you finished the lesson that King Qi taught you today?"
The prince scratched his head and said stupidly: "I think we are done. Do you want to accompany me to catch frogs?"
Seeing the crown prince's face sinking, Zu Anxin thought about catching frogs. You almost broke the momentum I had managed to cultivate. He cleared his throat and then collected his emotions and continued: "Since
Today’s lecture has been completed, so isn’t it time for the King of Qi to show the prince the courtesy of a king and a minister?”
Seeing the expressionless expression on King Qi's face, he added fuel to his anger: "King Qi doesn't want to salute the prince, does he have the idea of replacing him?"
King Qi's expression finally changed. Although he and the prince were vying for the throne, on the surface everyone still wanted to be in harmony. How could he put it directly on the table?
The anger value from Zhao Jing is +666!
He finally got angry and glanced at Zu An indifferently. At that moment, Zu An felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he was going to die in the next second.
"Is this the pressure of the Grand Master..." Zu An smiled bitterly, wondering what kind of evil he had done. He was obviously a cheater among his peers, but as a result, he offended all the best people in the world.
Not long ago, I was intimidated by the emperor's momentum, but I turned around and was coerced by the King of Qi again.
Seeing that he was as motionless as a mountain and his face was calm, King Qi showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. At such a close distance, ordinary practitioners would not be able to stand firmly under his aura, and most of them would be unable to restrain themselves and fall to the ground.
He wanted to use this to teach this sharp-tongued guy a lesson and at the same time defuse the momentum built up in his words, but he didn't know it was ineffective?
Originally, he was so proud of being a great master that his one attack was resisted by a junior. He respected his status and it was difficult for him to attack a second time. However, King Qi was also a politician who valued practicality above all else, so he planned to use coercion again. This
This time he decided not to keep it, but to give this guy a severe lesson.
At this moment, the Crown Princess stepped forward and stopped in front of Zu An. Although her face was a little pale, she still raised her head and said: "He has only been in the East Palace for a few days, and he still doesn't understand many rules. If there are
Why did you bump into the King of Qi, and why do you expect the King of Qi to show his noble hand?"
Looking at the thin figure in front of him, Zu An was a little surprised. He knew that the Crown Princess had always disliked him, but he didn't expect that she would stand in front of him.
King Qi glanced at her and smiled: "The Crown Princess speaks seriously, how can I, the King, be the same as her?"
Then he looked back at the fat man beside him: "Prince, do you want me to salute you too?"
The prince hurriedly waved his fat hands: "No, no, no."
He has always been a little afraid of this teacher and elder, how dare he let him salute him.
The Crown Princess glared at him angrily, disgusted with his cowardice.
However, she also knew that the status of King Qi was not trivial, and it would be unwise to push him into a hurry.
After such a turmoil, King Qi also felt that staying there was a bit boring. With his status, it would be too cheap to break up with Zu An in person, so he quickly found an excuse to say goodbye to the prince and princess.
The Crown Princess wished that the God of Plague would leave as soon as possible, so naturally she would not try to keep him.
When King Qi went out, he paused beside Zu An and said calmly: "Master Zu, you are very good."
"Thank you, King Qi, for the compliment." Zu An's attitude was respectful and he could not find any fault, lest the other party find any reason to target him.
King Qi's breath suffocated. Am I praising you?
He snorted and walked away directly.
As soon as he left, bursts of relief sounds could be heard throughout the East Palace. It was obvious that he had been suppressed enough just now.
Although the King of Qi is the crown prince's tutor, he only comes here occasionally. It is mainly the prince's young tutor who teaches the prince various courses, so most of the people in the entire East Palace are direct descendants of the prince and princess.
Under the admiring eyes of a group of people, Zu An went to the Crown Princess and bowed: "I have met the Crown Princess."
As for the prince on the side, he was already heartlessly playing games with the eunuch and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The Crown Princess looked at her fool-like husband, then at the man in front of her, and secretly sighed in her heart. Not to mention that the Crown Prince was not as good as Master Eleven, he was not even as good as this guy in front of her.
She quickly regained her composure and gave Zu An a smile that could win over others: "Thanks to Mr. Zu for today."
"As a subject of the East Palace, I naturally have to share the worries of the Crown Princess." Zu An also directly omitted the Crown Prince.
Everyone around knew that the person in charge of the East Palace was the Crown Princess, and no one thought there was anything wrong with this.
The Crown Princess's face became softer and softer, and she was obviously very happy with his show of loyalty: "You should also pay attention to safety when going out in the future."
She was warning him to be careful of King Qi's revenge.
Zu An smiled slightly and said: "With the protection of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's luck, I think we can eventually avert danger."
The Crown Princess spat: "You can only say nice things, how can I be lucky?"
Zu An said seriously: "The Crown Princess is destined to be the mother of a country in the future, so how can she have no luck?"
Seeing the Crown Princess trembling with flowers, Rong Mo, the personal maid behind her, was surprised. That guy seemed to have been teasing the Crown Princess with his words?
But what surprised her even more was that the Crown Princess didn't seem to be upset. I haven't been to the East Palace for a few days. Did something happen that I don't know about?
Zu An took the opportunity and said: "Princess, I'm going to take a leave and go to the prison."
"Tianlao?" The Crown Princess frowned slightly, "What are you doing there?"
Cheng Xiong's case has been closed, and the prisoner there has no meaning to her.
Zu An replied: "Ask those assassins again to see if they can find out anything about that person."
The Crown Princess naturally understood that he was referring to King Qi, and agreed: "Okay, but even if you find out something, don't act rashly. Come back and discuss it with me."
After Zu An left the East Palace, the maid Rong Mo couldn't help but asked her master in a low voice: "Madam, why do you value this boy so much? Didn't you hate him before?"
The Crown Princess sat down leisurely, took a sip of the tea she was handed, and then said slowly: "It's not terrible to hate a person, the most terrible thing is to be useless. Although this guy Zu An is a bit annoying, he is indeed a
Talents, I am in short supply of such talents."
The main force in the battle with King Qi has been the emperor's close ministers, the Liu family behind the queen, and her own father, but she still has too few direct descendants.
In her opinion, King Qi was not the only enemy. After defeating King Qi, there was also the Queen's family.
Although there was some dissatisfaction with Zu An at the beginning, he was very smart in doing things afterward. Taking him as one of our own will definitely be of great help in the future.
Hey, who told the prince to leave things alone? I can only worry about it myself.
On the other side, King Qi was slowly sipping tea in a pavilion in the palace. A group of golden-armored guards came quickly to salute: "See King Qi. I wonder what instructions King Qi has summoned us."
You must know that even General Zuowei was a member of King Qi's party before. It is really easy to install some guards in the palace.
King Qi looked at the goldfish swimming in the lake with a playful look in his eyes: "Go and invite Zu An here."
How many years has it been since no one dared to collide with me like this?
The last time it seemed was a few years ago, a few indifferent guards acted arrogantly because they were the prince's personal bodyguards, and it didn't take long for them to end up with heads in wooden boxes.
Regardless of his status as the King of Qi or the Grand Master, how could he be insulted by a minor character?
In addition, many people under his command were filled with anger because of Cheng Xiong's case this time, and they just needed something to appease them. Who could stop that guy from opening his eyes?
