I must teach her to recite the Three Character Classic today, otherwise all my years of studying the classics will have been in vain.
The two young masters of the Xu family are both literate and martial, and are pillars of the Great Feng Dynasty, deeply trusted by His Majesty the Heavenly King.
How could the women in their family be so mediocre? I must educate her properly, so as not to betray the trust of the Heavenly King and the Emperor…”
Huaiqing was slightly moved and grasped the Grand Tutor's withered hand: "Grand Tutor, don't be in a hurry. Take care of your health before you teach me again."
The Grand Tutor exclaimed excitedly, "No, even if I die, I will teach her to recite the Three Character Classic."
"I have taught the late Emperor and Your Highnesses; I cannot allow my reputation to be ruined in my later years."
Huaiqing was at a loss for how to comfort him. "Grand Tutor, don't worry, I'll try it myself."
At this moment, the Grand Tutor's eyelids rolled back, and he fainted.
Huaiqing led Xu Lingyin to the Imperial Study...
An hour later.
Huaiqing's stunningly beautiful face flushed crimson, her emotions surging as if she were engaged in strenuous exercise.
She called Lü Qing over and took a deep breath, saying, "Lü Qing, don't be nervous, this has nothing to do with you."
"Take Lingyin back to the Xu residence first. I will discuss this matter with the Heavenly King later."
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, took Xu Lingyin's hand with a grin, and led her out of the imperial study.
Xu Lingyin carried a small cloth bag, which was full of pastries she had taken from the Empress.
The youngest daughter of the Xu family is indeed extraordinary, capable of making the Grand Tutor faint with anger and moving the Empress who remained unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed before her!
Lü Qing took Xiao Lingyin back to the Heavenly King's Palace and handed her over to Xu Lingyue.
Lin'an and Pingyang happened to be there as well, and both of them listened to Lü Qing tell Xu Lingyin's story.
Xu Lingyue said somewhat awkwardly, "My mother and second brother both said that Lingyin wasn't cut out for studying, but I didn't believe it."
"Now look what's happened! Lingyin has made the Grand Tutor sick; her reputation is probably going to spread throughout the capital..."
"All scholars would know that the Grand Tutor, a man of great learning and prestige among Confucian scholars, was so angered by a mere child that he was bedridden."
Xu Lingyue, who is usually shrewd, felt that she might have done something wrong, and was both amused and exasperated.
At this moment, Biao Biao looked at Xu Lingyin curiously.
"That old geezer, the Grand Tutor, is incredibly stubborn. He always speaks in a cryptic and incomprehensible way, and I can't understand him either."
"And Huaiqing too, she thinks she's smart and speaks in a profound and mysterious way, how could she possibly teach a child well?"
Xu Lingyue's eyes lit up. "Sister Lin'an, do you have a solution?"
When Xu Lingyue called her "sister," Biao Biao's eyes lit up, and she felt incredibly proud.
"I, I, am a close friend of Lingyin. If I were to teach her to read, wouldn't that make me her teacher? Wouldn't that create distance between us?"
Little Douding loves playing with Biao Biao the most because they share a common language.
"Sister Pingyang is very knowledgeable; what she teaches is much easier to understand than what Huaiqing teaches!"
"And there's also my sister Simu, she's a very talented woman!"
Princess Pingyang squatted down and took Xu Lingyin's small hand. "Lingyin, how about your older sister teaches you to read tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay! I've always studied hard," Lingyin said, munching on the delicious palace pastries, sounding aggrieved.
into the night.
The fair-skinned Biao Biao fell into a deep sleep in Li Chang'an's arms, her slender waist swaying occasionally in her dreams.
Li Chang'an sensed the faint magical aura emanating from her, and it seemed that Biao Biao was indeed cultivating diligently.
After all, Biao Biao dares not relax when it comes to the matter of immortality.
Years later, everyone else will stay young forever, while I'll be all white-haired. That would be terrifying.
Li Chang'an sat up, got out of bed, sat in a chair, and took out a mirror.
He took the mirror and walked to the desk, his primordial spirit transforming into "tentacles" that reached into the Hun Tian Shen Jing (a magical mirror).
The bronze mirror surface once again highlighted the single eye without eyelashes, coldly staring at Li Chang'an.
"What do you call it?"
"Long live the King of Ten Thousand Demons!" The spirit of the Divine Mirror conveyed its message.
Hello, mirror.
"Buddhism deserves to die! Those bald monks should be torn to pieces!" said the spirit of the divine mirror.
There's absolutely no way to communicate with this...
Li Chang'an thought for a moment and said, "I am your father."
The bronze mirror trembled violently, and the eye without eyelashes became even more profound and lively, as if scrutinizing Li Chang'an.
At the same time, a majestic thought came through: "You lowly human brat, are you blaspheming against me?"
“Yes,” Li Chang’an said casually.
"You bastard!" the spirit of the divine mirror sneered. "I swear I will never submit!"
"No matter what, you're now in my hands. Let's cooperate. You'll be used by me, and I'll take care of you."
"A very tempting offer, but I refuse!" The spirit of the divine mirror appeared quite principled, sneering, "A loyal minister does not serve two masters."
Even if I am reduced to ashes, thrown out of here, abandoned, and sealed away, I will not accept a single offering from you.
Your excessive force is admirable... Li Chang'an chose to compromise with the mentally ill device.
"Fine, since you are so stubborn, I will return you to the Nine-Tailed Fox after a while. Until then, I will lend you my dragon energy to nurture you."
"What bullshit dragon energy? This god will not accept even the slightest favor from you," the spirit said defiantly.
"Oh, consider it a blasphemy against you." Li Chang'an took out a fragment of the Earth Book and threw it in.
When the Hun Tian Divine Mirror touched the fragment of the Earth Book, ripples spread across the surface of the small jade mirror, swallowing it. Li Chang'an used his primordial spirit to "transfer" the Hun Tian Divine Mirror and put it into the lifelike golden dragon.
"You are not allowed to blaspheme this God with this yellow filth!"
"I swear to be loyal to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox to the death!"
"presumptuous!"
As the divine mirror cursed, it unleashed dragon energy, and the next moment, its cries abruptly ceased.
A warm, powerful force enveloped it tightly.
It nourished its consciousness, making it feel as if it were lying back in the embrace of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Ah~~~~"
The Divine Mirror couldn't help but groan, clearly enjoying itself immensely.
"This feels so good, so good! What is this... why does it feel so good?"
Li Chang'an immediately pulled the Hun Tian Divine Mirror out of the dragon energy. "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. This is not a place for you. Staying here would be a desecration."
Within the small mirror space, the image of the Hun Tian Divine Mirror seemed to have lost its mind, desperately rushing towards the Dragon Qi Pool.
The half-mirror was resisting Li Chang'an's primordial spirit power; the mirror surface was almost distorted, and its wailing sound was more like a plea.
"No! No! No!"
"Please defile me! I want it! I want it!"
"I want to go in!"
"No." Li Chang'an tossed him aside, letting him see the dragon's aura, but he still couldn't enter.
Li Chang'an's primordial spirit left the mirror world, and as he left, he could still hear the pleading voice of the artifact spirit.
"My lord! Please forgive my rudeness!"
"I am willing to serve you, as long as I can enter that dragon's breath nurturing realm!"
"I'm amazing! I can see anywhere in Kyushu... any beautiful woman emerging from her bath, you can witness it!"
Good, good, you're certainly good at knowing when to adapt.
However, I still prefer your unruly nature.
……
The next day.
In the study of the Heavenly King's Palace.
Xu Lingyin sat on the chair, her short legs dangling in the air, swaying back and forth, happily eating a pear.
The usually gentle Princess Pingyang was covered in sweat, her eyes unfocused, her heart pounding, as she drank tea sip after sip.
The well-mannered Wang Simu, panting slightly, blushing and her heart pounding, gritted her teeth inwardly, feeling a thousand times resentful.
However, no matter how hard the two tried, they could not enlighten Xu Lingyin.
He forgot the last sentence after submitting the first, his words were disjointed, and it seemed like his brain couldn't absorb anything.
At this moment, Li Chang'an entered the study and saw the two women looking embarrassed.
