Chapter 213 The Imperial Master is a bit scary
Ye Tang found a small boat on the shore, rowed over, reached out and grabbed Xiao Jingxuan onto the boat.
"Husband, are you cold?"
Jamel Xiao was shivering with cold, but he still didn't forget to complain. He pointed at the old man and said, "My wife, this old man bullied me!"
The old man snorted: "I saved you, you ungrateful bastard!"
"Why do you scold my husband?" Ye Tang rolled up his sleeves: "Bullying my husband is bullying me, I don't care whether you are an old man or not..."
"Cousin, don't be rude. He is the Imperial Teacher!" came the prince's anxious voice.
Ye Tang was stunned: "...Emperor Master?"
The old man chuckled, asked the boatman to dock the boat, and got off the boat.
Ye Tang rowed the boat to catch up and also got off the boat when it reached the shore.
"Husband, let's go change clothes first."
There were spare clothes in the carriage. Ye Tang pulled Xiao Jingxuan into the carriage, ignoring the gazes outside.
The prince and his entourage came before the old man.
The old man bowed to the Crown Prince and the others and said, "This old minister greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and all the princes and princesses."
In the carriage, Ye Tang took off Jamel Xiao’s clothes: “My husband, is the Imperial Master the Emperor’s teacher?”
Jamel Xiao nodded: “Well, yes.”
"Is it great?"
Xiao Jingxuan: "I don't know if he is very powerful or not, but his Qinggong is quite good. He is obviously a scholar, but he still has such powerful Qinggong at his age."
Ye Tang: "He is quite angry, and seems to be very disappointed with you."
Jamel Xiao huffed: “I don’t know him.”
The two of them changed their clothes and came out to the prince and his entourage. The imperial teacher had already left.
Princess Mingzhu looked Ye Tang up and down: "Cousin, are you okay? You scared me to death just now!"
The prince looked at Jamel Xiao with concern: "Cousin, are you injured? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiao Jingxuan shivered, "I'm so cold and my whole body aches. What sin have I committed? I was assassinated when I entered the palace for a banquet, and I was also assassinated when I was invited to watch the Lantern Festival. Are they going to let me live? I want to ask my uncle the emperor to make the decision. I want to go back to the countryside. The capital is too dangerous!"
The eldest princess's expression changed slightly, and she said apologetically: "Cousin, this is my fault. I arranged the dragon dance team, but I can assure you that I did not find the assassin. It was my fault for not checking it out clearly. I apologize to you!"
She was the one who invited everyone to the Lantern Festival. She had thought about embarrassing Ye Tang and Jamel Xiao, but she had never thought about taking their lives.
The eldest princess said seriously, "I will investigate what happened tonight and give you justice."
The Crown Prince immediately agreed, "This matter is of great importance. I will investigate this matter thoroughly with my eldest sister."
The eldest princess did not shirk her responsibility but took it bravely, which impressed Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan. In fact, they had seen from the beginning that the eldest princess looked down on them, but she was very magnanimous and had the demeanor of a royal princess.
Jamel Xiao nodded: "I believe my cousin is innocent, but the capital is really scary. I am just a little lazy, a little playful, a little greedy, and a little pretty... Why are there always assassins trying to kill me? It's so scary! I won't go out anymore. I want to go home. Oh, yes, where is the imperial tutor who threw me into the lake just now? He made me catch a cold, and he just left like that? Where is his home? I want to find him to pay the silver!"
The prince said, "Cousin, you must not be rude to the Imperial Master. Although he did some things wrong, it was because he was disappointed with me. After all, he is not only my father's teacher, but also your father's teacher."
Xiao Jingxuan: "...My father's teacher? I have never heard that my father has a teacher!
The prince looked serious, not joking: "Yes, the Imperial Teacher is indeed your father's teacher. Many years ago, when your father and my father were still young, they both worshipped the Imperial Teacher as their teacher. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Imperial Teacher promoted education and proposed to open academies to encourage imperial examinations and martial arts examinations. The highest institution of learning, Yuanqi Academy, was founded by the Imperial Teacher."
The Imperial Teacher was a great scholar of the time. He came from the Su family, a century-old family of great scholars. He was deeply respected by all countries. At that time, the four countries of Fuso, Beiyi, Xuanyue, and Penglai all wanted the Imperial Teacher to go to their countries, but the Imperial Teacher finally chose to stay in the Yuan Dynasty and moved the Su family to the capital.
After the Su family took root in the Yuan Dynasty, there were more and more literati and poets in the Yuan Dynasty. Academies were established all over the Yuan Dynasty and selected countless talents.
Although the imperial tutor finally chose the Yuan Dynasty, the other four countries still respected him, and the kings of the four countries would show him courtesy when they met him.
In short, the Imperial Teacher is a big shot who should not be provoked.
Jamel Xiao remembered this key point.
The imperial teacher is actually a member of the Su family?
He has been in the capital for so many days, and the Su family has been very low-key. At the palace banquet, there were only six people from the Su family. Although there were not many people, they were all very well-behaved. They sat and stood properly and spoke in an elegant manner. He felt that the Su family was so tired!
Fortunately, he did not have an ancestor like the Imperial Teacher. His father was gone, so the Imperial Teacher had no control over him.
"Since he is my father's teacher, I won't bother with him!" Xiao Jingxuan said generously.
The prince twitched his lips and said, "Even if you don't bother with the Imperial Master, the Imperial Master will not let you go."
Xiao Jingxuan's alarm bells rang loudly, and Ye Tang also had a bad premonition. The two asked in unison: "What do you mean?"
The Third Princess smiled gloatingly and said, "The Imperial Master has always been very strict with the children of his students, especially the descendants of the royal family and the descendants of King Pingshan. The Imperial Master is even more strict to the point of being outrageous."
The Second Prince said, "We, the princes and princesses, have all received instruction from the Imperial Master. If we don't learn well or don't study seriously, we will be punished."
Jamel Xiao's heart skipped a beat: "What is the punishment?"
"Hit the palm of your hand."
"In addition, there are also copying books, squatting, writing, playing musical instruments and singing..."
All the tricks that the Imperial Master could think of would be used on them. They dared not to be angry but to say thank you.
In addition to educating the royal children, the imperial tutor also educates the royal daughters-in-law. Due to the difference between men and women, he will not teach them personally, but he will find someone to teach them.
The Third Princess looked at Ye Tang sympathetically and said, "After the old Prince Pingshan got into trouble, the Imperial Master left the capital to travel far away. He only comes back to the capital once every seven or eight years. It seems that it has been less than three years since his last visit. You are so lucky. You have not been in the capital for long and you just happened to meet him returning to the capital early."
Xiao Jingxuan frowned: "You mean to say that the old imperial teacher will come to teach me how to read and write and learn the rules?"
The prince and his entourage nodded in unison.
Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang's faces turned pale.
"He just came back, he shouldn't be so idle, right?"
