Xuan Jingchen remembered that Da Si Ming was busy with official duties, so he agreed to her proposal and planned to hand over the next order to Da Si Ming, and since then he has entered the practice of Taiyi.

The next day, after teaching Zhong Lishuo, Da Siming said to her: "Little Senior Brother, I have finished explaining all the secrets, and I will no longer teach you alone. If you recite the scriptures If you have any doubts, you can come to the Superintendent of Heaven to find me."

Xiang Sinian said, took out a token from the wide cuff, and handed it to Zhong Lishuo, "This is the token of the Superintendent of Heaven, you can come to me with the order."

Zhong Lishuo took the token, nodded, and gave a salute: "This little half month is really bothering Junior Sister."

Xiang Sinian shook his head and said, "I can't teach you the ritual of sacrificial sacrifice, I can't teach you mysticism, I can't teach you the astrolabe calculation, and I can only teach you about the nature of the scriptures. But you are more familiar with the scriptures than I am. , so I have to tell you some miscellaneous news. You are my senior brother, so you don't have to thank me for this."

Xiang Sinian smiled, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and said, "Besides, I have to ask senior brother to do me another favor to Superintendent Tiansi."

"Are you looking for me to lead someone to make Wushan Yunmeng?" Zhong Lishuo asked with great anticipation as soon as he heard the interest.

Xiang Sinian shook his head, "It's a good job." She said, took out the secret decree given to her by the Queen, and handed it over to Zhong Lishuo, "Your Majesty wants to repair my Taiyi scriptures, but my supervisor Tiansi except me, However, there is no suitable person to give lectures to His Majesty. Senior Brother has a much more thorough understanding of Taiben Ji than I do, so I recommended Senior Brother to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, every afternoon, whenever it's sunny, you will go to the Nishigong school grounds for horseback riding and archery. I read that the Hongwen Hall is only half an hour away from the Nishigong school grounds, and I deeply feel that senior brother is the most suitable person."

As Xiang Sinian's words shook little by little, Zhong Lishuo only felt that his heartbeat was getting louder and louder, reaching the point where he could no longer control it. She clenched her hand subconsciously and heard Xiang Sinian continue: "I have made an appointment with Your Majesty to start teaching at Hongwen Hall at You Shi."

"This place is still here, the same time, but the senior brother has changed from the person who listened to the lecture to the one who taught. It will not affect the time when the senior brother goes home, and he can also explain to the Duke of Zhenbei."

Xiang Sinian finished talking about everything and looked at Zhong Lishuo with a smile, "So, senior brother, would you like to do this errand for me, Superintendent Tiansi?"

Originally, Zhong Lishuo couldn't wait to agree and said, "I will." Perhaps too impatient, Zhong Lishuo immediately asked, "I don't know why the formal teaching started?"

"Tomorrow." Xiang Sinian said happily, she was really happy that things could develop smoothly. Let's not say whether the Queen will take a fancy to this young man who is a year younger than her, but it is better than having the opportunity to get along with him before.

As long as there is contact, and the Queen is not disgusted, Jian Tiansi can straighten his back and present the previous calculation to the court.

Zhong Lishuo, who received the imperial decree, waited anxiously all night with the heart of a deer rushing around, and finally came the next morning. She had Xuan Jingchen in her heart, and Zhong Lishuo, who originally thought that she would wait for the opportunity when the Privy Council privately recruited in the autumn, was caught off guard by such an opportunity.

Although this is more than half a year earlier than her plan, it still allows her to tell the queen her current identity and find a suitable opportunity to express her love.

There is something in the heart, and it is inevitable that the mind will not belong in class. Zhong Lishuo was distracted several times, and finally when he heard the last bell of Hongwenguan, he carried his Taiben Ji and rushed to the place where the queen was waiting for her.

As soon as she ran out of the school, she was stopped by someone: "A Su, A Su."

She just turned a deaf ear and ran ahead with all her might, but someone grabbed her collar vigorously and hurriedly stopped. Zhong Lishuo turned his head to look, but saw Lin Mengdie, who had appeared beside him at some point, looking at her with a smile on his arms, "There are people coming and going in this corridor of the school, why are you running? Someone? If I can't catch you, why should I even call you a few times in a panic?"

Seeing the young man's smiling face, Zhong Lishuo suppressed the eagerness in his heart, bowed and said politely, "I have seen Mr. Lin, it is because the students have an urgent matter, so I ran in a hurry."

"If you are in a hurry, slow down. If you hit someone with your small body, I'm afraid you will be hit." Lin Mengdie looked at the young man who looked like Zhou Zheng, and handed a curly sheet to Zhong Lishuo: "Here you are, Originally said to pay you back in three days, but it has been delayed until now, I hope you don't blame me."

Zhong Lishuo took it and took a look, isn't this the score that he gave to Lin Mengdie a month ago. She accepted the score, and heard Lin Mengdie say: "I copied the score and watched it for a few days, but unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng Wen saw it, and he had to look at the original score to confirm whether it was the prince's. song."

"Master Cheng Wen, in addition to his superb singing skills, also identifies everyone with his handwriting." Lin Mengdie approached Zhong Lishuo and whispered in her ear, "That music score really belongs to Prince Zhaoming. Mr. Cheng Wen kept asking me where I came from. If you get it, you have to buy it. I didn't tell him that it came from you, so keep the music and don't reveal it."

Lin Mengdie patted Zhong Lishuo and said, "Mr. Cheng Wen didn't want the original score, so he copied it and showed it to a group of gentlemen in Hongwen Museum, and then it came back to me."

He explained the reason for the delay in returning the score, and said with a smile, "This piece is a rare piece of work that the prince gave to his close friends, and the sincerity is far beyond anything else. I don't want this piece to be buried, so I prepared a show. Xiaohui, specially for those who are close friends."

"I'll let you know when the guests have been entertained, and you will come along then." Lin Mengdie patted Zhong Lishuo's shoulder with a smile, and walked out with a book full of books in her arms.

Zhong Lishuo looked at the back of his leaving, thinking of the queen in her heart, but she didn't care that her old songs still had a day when they came out. She packed up the sheet music that Lin Mengdie gave her and walked towards the backyard of Hongwen Museum.

Chunshen's footsteps sounded in Yuanzhou, Zhong Lishuo, who was embracing Taiyi Jingyi, wore a green robe and walked through the peach blossoms in the backyard of Hongwen Hall. She stepped on the floor full of Luoying to the small study she had made an appointment with the Queen. .

She stood under a peach tree beside the door, looking at the closed door, stepping back and forth on the bluestone slab. Thinking about the look of the queen on the street earlier, she rehearsed today's expectations several times in her heart, but she was too slow to take a step.

Until the people in the room heard her hesitant footsteps, and said warmly, "Is this the little gentleman of the Superintendent of Heaven? Please come in, I have been waiting for a long time."

The queen's voice sounded in the room, causing Zhong Lishuo to jump. A heart was raised in her throat, she hugged the book in her arms tightly, took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and reached out to open the door.

With the creaking sound of the door, a familiar strand of sandalwood floated over. The youth in a green robe bowed, stepped into the door, stood at the door and gave a salute to the front: "The grass people have seen Your Majesty."

On the small couch facing the door, at this moment, there was a woman sitting in Tatsumi. She was wearing a light and simple round neck robe, holding the "Taiben Ji" in her hand, soaked in the fragrance of sandalwood. The woman turned her head when she heard the movement, and set her eyes on the door, only to see a Taoist who was wearing a bun and a green robe bowing and standing there. Only that Taoist bowed his head, which made her look down on her face, so Xuan Jingchen said warmly, "Sir, please come in."

"No." Zhong Lishuo, who was so nervous, finally raised her head. She set her eyes on the woman on the couch. The woman in a white round-neck robe was wearing a jade crown, and she looked gentle but with a heroic spirit. Zhong Lishuo wrote the previewed surprise on his face, looked at the Queen in surprise, and said, "Lord Yongle... No, Your Majesty."

The young man was very happy, and the corners of his mouth could not be controlled. She looked at Xuan Jingchen's familiar face, as if she couldn't stop looking at her because of the joy of reunion, but she tried to control her curiosity because of the identity of the other party.

She saw a trace of confusion flash across Xuan Jingchen's face, and then she heard her say: "So it's the young master, the senior brother that Da Si Ming said is you. I don't know when Qing Lan will be released. You are accepted as an apprentice."

Xuan Jingchen smiled, beckoned to Zhong Lishuo, and said, "Don't be arrogant, come here, little gentleman."

The very happy Zhong Lishuo followed his words and walked to Xuan Jingchen's side, and sat down on the opposite side under her greeting. She looked at the Queen's face as before, her eyes seemed to be full of stars, she stared at her brightly and said, "I didn't know that Your Majesty was Lord Yongle. I didn't know His Majesty's identity when we met before, and I asked His Majesty to send him a gift. Caomin is really offensive when I go home. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhong Lishuo said, and gave another salute.

Looking at her familiar face, Xuan Jingchen said warmly, "I don't know, but the senior brother of Da Siming is you, the young master."

Zhong Lishuo heard the words and said the answer that the queen wanted: "I remembered it under the name of Da Si Ming, Qing Lan Da Si Ming accepted me into Taiyi before going to the kingdom of God, so I became Si Senior Brother Nian Da Siming. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, although Caomin has not returned home, he can read the scriptures and understand them thoroughly, and he will definitely be able to serve His Majesty.”

The young man looked at her sincerely, his black and white eyes never blinking. Xuan Jingchen smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Since Da Siming advised me on you, I will naturally believe in your ability. In this way, I hope the little gentleman will not stick to etiquette and teach me well."

Xuan Jingchen replaced the self-proclaimed "Zhen" with "I" in order to make the young but confident young man in front of him feel less burdened. The young man looked very nervous. After the queen said that, she nodded solemnly, opened the "Taiben Ji" in her hand, and said, "The grass people must do their best. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, in order not to delay. In His Majesty's time, Caomin has now begun to teach His Majesty."

Seeing her trembling hands, Xuan Jingchen turned over a few pages of the book, curled her lips and shook her head, and said, "Sir, your book." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the Taiben Ji in Zhong Lishuo's hand. I do not know when the book was turned upside down, hurriedly replaced, a handsome little face instantly flushed.

Looking at the young man's thin-skinned appearance, Xuan Jingchen finally understood why Xiang Sinian told her that he would call the lecturer Mr. Xiao.

Isn't it the little gentleman, who is very knowledgeable but young and green, really lovable.
