The adoptive father was so good that he actually found him an "assistant teacher"?
Originally, for the teaching of Bai Qing and Lu Yan, Bai Tu hired special tutors from various subjects, and Deng Ai was responsible for the overall coordination - that is, the mission of "head teacher".
Although the two children were raised by Bai Tu himself, they were not too arrogant and stingy. Bai Tu even often took them to the mountain villages near Jinling in private to see the sufferings of the real "lower class" people.
Of course, since it is around Jinling, no matter how hard it is, it won't be much worse, but it certainly can't compare with the splendor and prosperity in Jinling City.
but……
They were also brought up by Lu Lingqi, and Lu Bu often came to play with them!
Therefore, no matter what, there is always a brave spirit of generals...
Moreover, one of the brothers is the future King of Chu, and the other is the future Qu Ahou. Even if those special masters have been specially trained, they may not really have no respect for them.
So in order to keep the two brothers under control, Bai Tu directly hired their sworn brother Deng Ai to be the "head teacher".
However, Bai Tu did not fully agree to Zhang Lu's request for his daughter to join the class. After all, it was a bit strange for a fourteen-year-old girl to go to "elementary school"...
Therefore, after understanding what Zhang Lu meant, Bai Tu only agreed to let Zhang Qiying and Deng Ai learn first, and at the same time, he could be regarded as a "teaching assistant" for Deng Ai.
After all, Deng Ai wanted to take part in this year's imperial examination. Although he was very confident, he still had to review it in August or September to show respect.
Originally, Deng Ai wanted to wait another three years, but the current situation in Chu State was tense. Firstly, Deng Ai wanted to repay Chu as soon as possible. Secondly... this year's imperial examination was greatly affected by the war.
In order to avoid any serious situation, Deng Ai decided to "sit in charge" personally!
But for Zhang Qiying, Deng Ai just wanted to say one thing - foster father, do you really want me to study hard?
Zhang Lu was also very satisfied with Bai Tu's arrangement. Although he was only Deng Ai's assistant and had nothing to do with the prince's mentor, he could still be in contact with the prince since he was a child, and he would be more friendly in the future.
It can be said that after Bai Tu arranged it this way, as long as the Zhang family does not commit suicide in the future, they will definitely not fall into any big trouble.
Zhang Lu didn't tell the truth to Zhang Qiying, he just told her to let her study with Deng Aiduo, and gave some hints, but... I don't know if Zhang Qiying understood it!
After all, Bai Tu didn't directly agree to get married.
After Zhang Qiying made some guesses, she did not refuse to cooperate, but actively fought with Deng Ai in a battle of wits and courage...
On this day, Zhang Qiying brought her maid to the Chu Palace again, and the guard guard guarding the palace gate also let her in - since she was to be Deng Ai's assistant, she could naturally enter the Chu Palace.
Today Bai Tu happened to be about to go out. Zhang Qiying met the King of Chu. After the polite greeting, Bai Tu also encouraged her, but...
Before Bai Tu went out, he turned to look at Zhang Qiying and... Zhang Ning in confusion.
There was some murmuring in my heart - when did the guard of the Chu Palace become so relaxed?
Although it is not a place for office and administration, this is a serious palace, and it is more private, okay...
Obviously I only allowed Zhang Qiying to come and go freely, so how could she bring the maid with me?
Bai Tu looked at the several gatekeepers again, and all of them held their heads high because Bai Tu was looking at them. In the end, they just nodded to show encouragement.
If I say it directly here, no matter what the reason is, these outstanding guards will be fired or even punished directly, so... Bai Tu decided to talk to Lu Lingqi privately and ask her to strengthen the training of the guards!
After getting into the carriage, Bai Tu specifically mentioned this matter to Lu Lingqi, but... at this time, Lu Lingqi showed a confused and tangled look.
"What's wrong?" Bai Tu asked doubtfully.
"Yes... the maid shouldn't be allowed in... I just... um..." Lu Lingqi also fell into self-doubt at this moment.
Because Lu Lingqi did see it when the maid followed her in, but before Bai Tu mentioned it, Lu Lingqi didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all!
"Ahem, it's nothing. If Qiying and Ai Ai can get along in the future, she won't be an outsider..." Bai Tu thought Lu Lingqi was blaming herself for neglecting her duty.
"No! Do you still remember what that maid looks like?" Lu Lingqi suddenly asked.
"It's quite beautiful... What's wrong? I'm just saying this from a purely aesthetic point of view!" Bai Tu affirmed at first, and then added some comments.
Yes, the reason why Bai Tu was so alert was, to a certain extent, because of Zhang Ning's outstanding appearance. Even when he saw the two of them, Bai Tu only noticed the "maid" at the first moment.
When Lu Lingqi heard this, she felt more and more that something was wrong - if she didn't notice Zhang Qiying's maid, it could be said that she was negligent and had lowered her alertness, but she didn't even pay special attention to a beautiful woman entering the palace. This was not true at all.
Negligence can be explained!
"A blind trick!" Lu Lingqi said confidently.
"What?" Bai Tu didn't react yet.
"It must be a cover-up, and it's not an ordinary trick, but the kind of cover-up that Taoist Master Yu said, which can silently manipulate the psychology and blind people's subconscious... So except for you, the hard disk, no one else has noticed it at all.
She!" Lu Lingqi said with great certainty.
At the same time, his tone became obviously irritable...
"No, we have to go back quickly!" Lu Lingqi said quickly.
In fact, after being exposed, if you think back, you will know that this is not the first time Zhang Ning has entered the Chu Palace, but he has been coming to Dianmao every day for some time.
However, even so, Lu Lingqi found it difficult to calm down when she thought that a member of the Qi family with "unclear intentions" was "sneaking" into the Chu palace and being with her son.
"Well? Then why am I fine... That's right... Lingqi, don't worry, let's go to Taoist Yu first, so as not to alert the snake, and the other party may not have malicious intentions."
Bai Tu was confused at first, but then he thought that the high-end blinding method Yu Ji said was an application of mental power, and it was normal that his own mental power... couldn't be shaken.
But at this moment, a strange female voice came into the carriage where only Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi were.
"King Chu Mingjian, I indeed have no ill intentions, but I am just walking around the Chu Kingdom... to see if the King of Chu is worthy of his name."
Hearing this, Lingqi immediately stood up and blocked Bai Tu from her side - Bai Tu's carriage was very spacious, more than enough for standing on.
"Who are you, sir! Look at the Chu Kingdom? Did you enter the palace to see it?" Lu Lingqi said angrily.
"Madam, I forgive you, but... who could be more real than the Chu country in the eyes of the seven-year-old prince, and who would be less capable of lying than the Chu culture taught to the seven-year-old prince?"
