While Junxian was talking at the Eight Immortals Pavilion, Junxian's steward was reporting to the emperor of the Seven Stars Divine Court.
"Your Majesty, the above is all that Junxian has done in the past few days."
After listening to the report, the Emperor of the Seven Stars Divine Court frowned slightly and asked the counselors around him, but no one could agree.
Some people say: I think Mr. Jun is a man of high moral standards and a true practitioner of Taoism.
Someone said: I think this person’s mind is so scheming, it’s really scary.
Some people also say: It seems that he is of true character and does things in an upright manner.
…
The counselors around the Emperor of the Seven Lights Divine Court had different opinions. Finally, the Emperor frowned and thought for a long time before finally making a decision. "Come here, call all the princes, including the crown prince, and invite Mr. Jun to come over."
Soon, more than a dozen princes came out. As princes of the Seven Stars Divine Court, many of them had an arrogant attitude, but some of them did not have the temperament of a prince at all.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the messenger who went to greet Junxian returned. Junxian got off the sedan chair in a dignified manner and bowed to the emperor from a distance.
The emperor of the Seven Lights Divine Court pointed to the princes nearby and said, "Sir, these are the princes. Are you willing to teach them?"
Jun Xian looked at them one by one. Among them were the older prince and the younger prince.
It seemed like a simple task, but it contained a mystery. Jun Xian knew that this was a test from the emperor. And this was a choice that could not be refused.
Jun Xian looked at them one by one, and finally chose a prince who was standing in the middle but seemed to be submissive. "Your Majesty, Jun Xian's ability is limited, and I can only educate one person. If your Majesty allows, how about letting Jun Xian educate this child?"
Everyone looked at the prince standing in the center, he was the seventh prince, Dongfang Jue, born to a maid. In terms of political status, it would be difficult for him to become a prince, let alone covet the throne. He might just be sent to a remote mansion.
Similarly, Jun Xian's choice to educate the Seventh Prince meant that Jun Xian was completely isolated from political struggles and would certainly never be able to stand out.
The emperor seemed very happy with Jun Xian's choice. "Then I'll trouble you, sir. Jue'er, why don't you thank me, sir?"
Dongfang Jue was a little dazed. With the "help" of the maid next to him - in fact, the maid pulled him - he handed Jun Xian a cup of tea to pay his respects to him.
Junxian took the seventh prince to bid farewell to the emperor.
After Junxian left, the emperor of the Seven Lights Divine Court smiled happily. He had tied up a capable person like Junxian, and Junxian seemed to have no political ambitions, which was perfect.
Unfortunately, no one saw the flash of surprise in Jun Xian's eyes when he saw the Seventh Prince. When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence, Jun Xian got straight to the point: "Your Highness, there is no third person here. You can relax now."
The Seventh Prince suddenly looked up and looked directly at Jun Xian.
Jun Xian still had a faint smile on his face, but there was some wisdom flowing in his eyes.
The cowardly aura of the Seventh Prince disappeared instantly, and his wolf nature was revealed: "How did you see that?"
Jun Xian still sat still: "It's not how I saw it, but what your eyes told me. Your eyes told me that you need me."
