"You guys are so complimentary."

Zhao Cuo turned around with a smile and bowed his hands to the teachers, students and seniors present.

"No blame."

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man in the audience stood up with a smile on his face.

"It's a pity that you have such a mind and don't read my Confucian sages' books. If you become my disciple, I can teach you the way of cultivating your family, governing your country, and bringing peace to the world."

"Xu Daru actually wants to accept an outsider as his disciple?"

Zhao Cuo instantly attracted the envious eyes of many students.

"I cannot change my Taoist practice in my late life. I hope I won't blame you if I don't want to be my disciple again."

"Who said students in my academy must be Confucian practitioners?"

Xu Daru shook his head.

"The classics passed down by the ancestors are the great road of human relations. It would be too narrow to define it by the path of spiritual practice. We, the scholars, aim to educate all people, and we advocate great love and great courtesy. Who in the world cannot join our Confucianism?"

"What you said is absolutely true!"

Mr. Wen also spoke at this time.

"It's okay. Why don't you take my name? If you and I become master and disciple, it will be a good story for future generations."

"It was someone who spoke first."

“Is there a first-come, first-served basis for accepting disciples?”

Zhao Cuo felt a little ashamed when he smelled the smell of gunpowder, and hurriedly walked towards his elder sister. The thirty-sixth strategy of walking is the best strategy.

"You two should stop fighting."

But his idea was about to fail again. After a few steps, he walked in front of and behind Zhao Shangxin, and a cheerful voice with a smile sounded from the sky.

Wow!

At that moment, everyone present, including Miss Zhao, stood up immediately.

'Who is so majestic?'

Young Master Zhao turned his head to look strangely, and saw an elder with white hair and a childlike face slowly landing in front of the monument. With his arrival, all the thick clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a clear sky.

"Meet Sui Sheng!"

Everyone bowed in unison, and Zhao Cuo followed their words and bowed accordingly. In Confucianism, those who hold fire are called saints!

"Shall everyone sit down?"

The Confucian and Taoist sage waved his hand with a kind face.

"Your Excellency, please come and judge!"

Xu Daru, who was angry, said immediately.

"I respect Master Wen as an elder so I won't argue with him, but he bullies the younger and steals students from me, a junior. How can it be unreasonable?"

"Both of you, please calm down."

Sui Sheng still behaved like a good old man.

"If you want to accept a disciple, you don't want to see if he is willing. Don't you see that Mr. Zhao is distressed? A gentleman does not force others to make things difficult for him."

"I am dedicated to doing things for the Queen Mother. I really cannot study in the academy. Please forgive me, gentlemen."

Zhao Cuo seized the opportunity and said.

"You are worthy of my queen's favor."

As he spoke, Sui Sheng turned around and looked at the monument where Mr. Zhao had just left his words.

"You have the courage to help the world at a young age. You must be a brave person to write this. It's rare."

"You are overly complimentary."

There was some doubt in Zhao Cuo's eyes. Listening to what this Sui sage said, could it be that this dignified fire-raiser was also a female devil?

"Go ahead."

Sui Sheng turned around and said with an unchanging smile.

"The Queen Mother is waiting for you in the Innovation Pavilion."

'How come you can meet a bad woman here?'

His expression suddenly became wonderful. What is this? His boss caught him fishing while working?

"Someone is here to take Mr. Zhao to the Reform Pavilion."

After Sui Sheng said this, he walked towards the podium with a smile.

"I'll be right back...the lecture is over and I haven't come back yet, sister, you should go back home first."

Zhao Cuo actually wanted to talk to Empress Dowager Zhao about the corruption case of Beijing officials.

"knew."

Although Zhao Shangxin had a lot to say, she could only nod her head at this moment, helplessly watching her younger brother leave with a child, and then Sui Sheng, who stood on the stage and began to lecture, drew her attention.

"Come up."

Young Master Zhao had just walked into a quaint and atmospheric attic, and the familiar lazy female voice sounded in his mind. This domineering tone was highly recognizable.

"Chen Zhao made a mistake to pay homage to the Queen Mother..."

He walked up the stairs and arrived at the main hall on the attic. A girl wearing a black chest-length skirt was half-lying on the table, with a pair of calm pale golden eyes filled with joy.

"No need to be polite."

Empress Dowager Zhao interrupted his salute with a smile, raised her fair and slender little hand and gestured for the young man in front of her to come forward.

"Why did the empress come to Xunshan Academy today?"

Zhao Cuo asked as he approached her.

"Of course I can't stand the fact that you didn't do what I asked you to do well and instead took your sister out to play."

Empress Dowager Dayu snorted softly as she spoke, lightly kicked Zhao Cuo with her petite jade feet wearing embroidered shoes, and then said bossyly before he could speak:

"My shoes are so stuffy. My feet are sweating. Please take them off quickly."

"Is it better not to take off your shoes?" Zhao Cuo, who didn't want to serve this female devil, gave a good reason, "I'll have to walk later."

"You are very considerate, so I will allow you to carry me back to the palace. If you don't help me take off my shoes, if I really sweat, I will have you wipe it off with your mouth? The choice is left to you."

"Yes~"

Zhao Cuo expressed his dissatisfaction in a long tone, but he could only squat down and hold the feet of Queen Mother Dayu.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

‘This witch’s feet actually stink, right?’

He was full of malicious speculation in his heart, and when he moved his hands, the delicate white lotus feet hidden under the thin black silk appeared in his sight.

The round and round toes that look particularly cute rub against each other playfully.

As a visual animal, Mr. Zhao actually wanted to apologize for his irresponsible thoughts at this moment.

"If you like it so much, you can ask me to let you bury your face in it."

Empress Dowager Teru's voice sounded with excitement in her disgust. She was not angry at the boy's bold behavior of holding her foot and not letting go. Instead, she provocatively pinched his foot with her nimble toes that gave the illusion of deliciousness.

hand.

"Actually, I just want to talk to my queen about the corruption case of Beijing officials."

Zhao Cuo naturally changed the topic.

"We'll talk about this later."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and pointed to the open window.

"It's rare for my teacher to give a lecture. Let's go and listen together. Hold me to the window."

'You are a martial arts practitioner, how come your master is a Confucian and Taoist saint?'

Zhao Cuo complained in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions. He moved the chair to the window and started to put on the Queen Mother's shoes.

"come."

Empress Dowager Zhao smiled brightly and raised her delicate arms in a "hug" gesture.

Zhao Cuo hugged her directly without saying a word.

After walking a few steps to put the woman on the chair in front of the window, she had another objection.
