Is there anything wrong with the emperor not returning to the capital? To be honest, for the adults in the court, apart from being a little ugly, it actually doesn't have much impact.
Over the years, Lu Hanjiang has become accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and the court has gradually formed a model that can operate without an emperor.
For other emperors, this might have created a crisis of being sidelined, but for an emperor who was born in Jinyiwei, this simply created unique conditions for him to fish.
Although the old master still made sure to scream angrily at the empty emperor's throne every day when he went to court, everyone was no longer surprised. The old master was old and senior, so he would scold him, and the emperor would only be scolded when he came.
, but they don’t have to make themselves uncomfortable.
As for the emperor's oral instructions sent all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, asking the prince to supervise the country, etc., the old master scolded him severely. What can a child of several years old do? Come here to be in a daze?
But now that the emperor has spoken, the adults in the cabinet just hold their noses and recognize him, and just take Prince Ding with him to the daily court meeting.
The confused little prince took on a heavy responsibility that his age should not bear.
But the person who is most confused is actually not the old master, but his eldest disciple Qi Yunzhou.
The dean of the academy had gone to great lengths to get Princess Hua Luan as his disciple, but he had never expected how difficult it would be to become the princess's teacher.
Qi Yunzhou was shocked when the princess moved into the academy on the first day. He watched helplessly as the female officials in the princess palace bought several houses next to the academy, and then quickly integrated and transformed them into the princess's temporary residence.
The beautiful rockery scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the birds and beasts in the north, the rare treasures in the western regions, everything that can be found in the world, are all stuffed into the new house.
Although Princess Hua Luan may not necessarily be happy to see these flowers and plants, as well as the backyard with a zoo, she cannot live without them at home. Don't ask, it means you are rich.
In just half a month, an extremely luxurious mansion rose from the ground. The speed was jaw-dropping. It was not that no one had objections to the princess's extravagance. It was just that everyone in the court raised objections.
Open your eyes blindly, everyone is selectively blind.
Anyway, the princess did not spend any money from the treasury to build the house. According to the wealth of Empress Yongle, she might have to ask the empress for a generous donation one day when the treasury ran out of money. The courtiers would not be so mean-spirited and make people uncomfortable.
So Qi Yunzhou accepted this very quickly. The empress's family was extremely wealthy, so it was reasonable for her to be willing to improve the teaching environment for her daughter. After all, she did not demolish his academy.
Princess Hua Luan was young and the apple of the emperor's eye, so it was reasonable to pamper her, but what happened next began to gradually refresh Qi Yunzhou's worldview.
Now that the problem of accommodation is solved, the next problem is food. Qi Yunzhou only found out today that Princess Hualuan's small kitchen is already comparable in size to the royal dining room in the palace.
There are as many as six chefs making steamed buns for the princess. Everyone has different skills and the taste of the steamed buns is also different. Thanks to the princess, Qi Yunzhou knew for the first time that meat steamed buns can be made in so many flavors.
It’s okay to eat in a variety of ways. Princess Hua Luan is also very delicate when eating. The little princess is afraid of being hot. To eat a bun, she has to bite open some of the skin and blow on it. She doesn’t start until the temperature of the bun is suitable for eating.
Therefore, the cooks responsible for steaming the steamed buns for the princess do not steam them one basket at a time, but one by one. They need to adjust the steaming speed to match the rhythm of the princess's meal.
It took at least an hour to finish a breakfast. Princess Hualuan's food and accommodation were outrageous, and her clothes were not bad. Most of the top clothing shops in the capital were owned by the Queen.
If the princess has any new ideas, she can see the finished product in half an hour.
For a long time, the princesses were the ones who guided the ladies and ladies in the elite circles of the capital. After all, the clothing stores on the streets were filled with leftovers from people's play.
Just like this, Hua Luan raised such a question when Qi Yunzhou taught her the first day of class.
"Teacher, my father used to be a royal guard, so his martial arts should be pretty good, right?" the little princess asked curiously.
"Your Majesty has superb martial arts skills and is unrivaled in the world. He is truly the best in ancient and modern times." Qi Yunzhou said.
"Bragging." The little princess curled her lips. She had heard this kind of flattery too many times and didn't believe it at all.
"..." In response to this, Qi Yunzhou had no choice but to smile bitterly. It would be great if it was really flattering, but who would have thought that this kind of nonsense that exaggerates martial arts is the truth.
"I also want to learn martial arts." Princess Hua Luan said nonchalantly.
"...What did His Highness say?" Qi Yunzhou seemed not to hear clearly what the other party said for a moment.
The little princess said casually: "You don't need to teach me how good you are, as long as you teach me to the point where I can easily defeat my father."
"..." Qi Yunzhou said, you might as well kill me with one blow and hire someone else.
But since the little princess mentioned it, if he refused directly, it would seem a bit unreliable as a teacher. So after thinking about it, he decided to teach the other party a trick.
"In this case, I will teach you swordsmanship."
Qi Yunzhou asked the boy to bring two swords, and specifically told one of them to be just a fake one, not a real one, otherwise the little princess might not even be able to hold it.
After the sword arrived, Qi Yunzhou showed Princess Hua Luan an ordinary slashing move. The little princess enthusiastically held the sword as light as a feather and slashed crookedly.
Qi Yunzhou applauded expressionlessly upon seeing this: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have mastered this move."
"Teacher, can you please give me some snacks when you are fooling people?" Princess Hua Luan said angrily.
Qi Yunzhou said: "If your highness doesn't believe it, you might as well find a few people to try it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hua Luan naturally didn’t believe it, so Qi Yunzhou took her to the martial arts field of the academy. Although the Confucian disciples focused on the books of sages, the old master Luo Yuan
The disciples of Jing's branch are all good at martial arts. It doesn't require you to be very good at martial arts. At least you can't be incapable of binding a chicken.
There were many students near the martial arts arena, all of whom were young. Hua Luan took a closer look and saw that there was an acquaintance among them, the little skin monkey of the emperor's favorite Yang Zhiyuan's family.
Yang Xiaozi, who was originally in high spirits, quickly restrained his arrogant attitude when he saw the dean coming. When he saw Princess Hua Luan following the dean, his expression changed drastically and he immediately hid at the back of the crowd.
"I've met the dean." The students saluted.
Qi Yunzhou nodded: "This is the new student who entered the academy today. Which one of you will compete with her?"
The students looked at each other and someone immediately stood up.
"I come!"
This young man was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He shouldn't be competing with the little girl for the limelight, but when he thought about being able to show his face in front of the dean, he didn't care so much anymore.
When the two came to the stage, Hua Luan was a little unsteady in holding the sword. After the man said "please advise", he easily knocked the sword out of the other's hand.
"Junior sister, I accept." The man saluted respectfully, then turned around and walked off the stage.
Hua Luan turned around and glared at Qi Yunzhou. Sure enough, the teacher was fooling her! How can anyone become successful in martial arts after just one practice!
Qi Yunzhou, on the other hand, quietly glanced at Yang Xiaozi in the corner of the crowd. The latter understood and calmly came to the side of the young man just now.
"Brother Liu is good at martial arts." Junior Yang praised.
Although the young man had a look of pride on his face, he still said modestly: "Brother Yang is so complimentary. Junior Sister is so young. I am just taking advantage of my age to beat her."
"Brother Liu's majesty today, I believe His Majesty will be happy to know about it in the future."
Under the puzzled gaze of the young man, Yang Xiaozi approached him and whispered: "This is Princess Hua Luan."
When the young man heard this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the blood all over his body instantly turned cold. Over there, Princess Hualuan was still denouncing Qi Yunzhou, saying that he was unreliable, and the young man suddenly yelled.
"Dean!"
The young man returned to the stage with great excitement and almost shouted: "Dean! The student and junior sister just now seemed to have a clear understanding of the duel. I beg the dean to allow us to compete again!"
Qi Yunzhou nodded, and then said to Princess Hua Luan: "Go."
Princess Hua Luan frowned: "Okay, let me trust you again."
The two came back on stage, and the same process followed. The young man attacked first, preparing to fly away Hua Luan's sword. But at the moment when the two swords intersected, the young man suddenly screamed and rolled out three feet away with his sword.
.
The crowd exclaimed, and the young man stood up with difficulty: "Junior sister's martial arts skills are extraordinary, but I am not good at studying... I admire you!"
This scene made Hua Luan's eyes widen. She was not a stupid person who could be fooled easily, but the trick Qi Yunzhou taught her was indeed to her liking. After getting off the stage, she walked up to Qi Yunzhou happily: "
Teacher, the swordsmanship you teach is interesting, what is the name of this sword?"
"Use your power to suppress others." Qi Yunzhou said calmly.
