Duanmu Yaxin's pretty eyes turned, a mischievous expression emerged on her lovely face. She secretly poked her two royal brothers on both sides with the brush. They already had nervous expressions on their faces.
Lin Xiang's stern gaze fell on the back of Duanmu Qingchen's head, who was working hard. He put down the book with a sullen face and casually picked up the golden ruler bestowed by the emperor that could be used to beat the prince!
Sitting in the same row with Duanmu Qingchen was the third prince Duanmu Jinhong.
Unlike Duanmu Qingchen's gorgeous appearance, Duanmu Jinhong has a gentle and calm face. His eyes are similar to Duanmu Qingchen's, but they are narrow and long without any hooks. He lacks Duanmu Qingchen's charming charm, but has more of Chengdi's majesty and calmness.
Duanmu Jinhong had already frowned when Lin Xiang stopped teaching, and glanced coldly at Duanmu Qingchen beside him.
At this moment, Duanmu Qingchen was more focused than when he was in class, with no distractions.
The sixth brother Duanmu Yankang secretly stretched out his legs, wanting to kick Duanmu Qingchen's butt as she sat on the seat, but seeing Lin Xiang coming over, he quickly retracted his legs, lowered his head and looked at his book obediently, not daring to look up at Lin Xiang again.
Duanmu Qingchen was so absorbed in writing that he did not even notice when Lin Xiang approached him.
Lin Xiang reached out and slowly took away the book that Duanmu Qingchen was using to cover her face, but Duanmu Qingchen still didn't know.
Prime Minister Lin leaned down to see what Duanmu Qingchen was writing, and saw Duanmu Qingchen quickly write: To know what happens next, please wait for the next chapter!
Lin Xiang's face suddenly darkened and he slammed the ruler down hard.
"Snap!" The whole place fell silent.
Duanmu Qingchen was startled, and she squeezed the brush in her hand, blinked her peach blossom eyes, and suddenly raised her face and smiled at Lin Xiang: "Lin Xiang, do you want to appreciate the novel I wrote?"
Lin Xiang looked at him gloomily: "Your Highness, you will govern the country in the future, not be a storyteller!"
Duanmu Qingchen, however, looked indifferent: "Hey~~Taifu, everyone has their own aspirations. I was born a prince and had no choice~~" He stood up arrogantly and walked back and forth in front of Duanmu Jinhong, afraid that his third brother couldn't see it.
Duanmu Jinhong frowned and read seriously with a depressed look.
"But I aspire to be a literary giant!" Duanmu Qingchen grabbed the brush and waved it boldly in the air. The ink splashed and fell on the white sleeves of the third brother.
Duanmu Jinhong frowned, picked up the book, stood up, and bowed to the Grand Tutor Lin Youxiang: "Grand Tutor, Your Highness will go first."
Duanmu Jinhong is polite and courteous.
Lin Xiang also nodded in agreement, and it was time to end the get out of class. In class, Lin Jingzhi was the teacher. Outside of class, he was the subject.
"Hey, don't go~~ Third brother." Duanmu Qingchen rushed over and hugged Duanmu Jinhong, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, "Don't stay in the palace all the time, it's so boring. Do you want to go out and play with me, your royal brother? Let's go find Fu Mingrui, okay? Let's see if there are any interesting cases there that I can write about in my "Strange Stories of the Qian Dynasty"! " Duanmu Qingchen waved his right hand through the air, as if he was writing a magnificent epic.
Lin Xiang already frowned and sighed.
Duanmu Yaxin jumped up immediately when she heard the name Fu Mingrui: "Brother Crown Prince! Take me there!"
Duanmu Qingchen held Duanmu Jinhong and looked at Xiao Qimei with disdain: "Go away, you are not even an adult yet. It's not that your brother the crown prince is discouraging you. When you are sixteen, your father will definitely start planning to marry you to a prince."
When Duanmu Yaxin heard this, her two big watery eyes widened with tears: "Father... will you really marry me to those stinky uncles... Woo... I don't want to——" Duanmu Yaxin ran away crying.
"Seventh sister! Seventh sister, don't cry!" Duanmu Ruifeng and Duanmu Yankang hurriedly packed up the books, bowed to Lin Youxiang, and chased after Duanmu Yaxin.
Duanmu Jinhong saw it and angrily pushed Duanmu Qingchen away: "You have to make the palace a mess to be happy! Humph!"
"Third brother! I just think you're bored in the palace~~" Duanmu Qingchen pulled Duanmu Jinhong again in a frivolous manner.
Lin Youxiang picked up what Duanmu Qingchen had written and looked at it carefully. His serious face became more and more serious as he read it. What are these things? ! Fox girl seduces girls, female ghost climbs onto the bed, all of them are vulgar novels in the market, not worthy of being read by the public!
Duanmu Qingchen still pulled Duanmu Jinhong: "Third brother, third brother, what you learned in the palace is all theory. I tell you, these things you learned are really useless to ordinary people..."
Lin Youxiang's gaze paused slightly, he looked up from what Duanmu Qingchen was writing, and looked calmly at Duanmu Qingchen's dandy and frivolous appearance.
"Don't touch me!" Duanmu Jinhong pulled back his sleeves, no longer hiding the disgust on his face.
Duanmu Qingchen insisted: "I know you like governing the country, right? But you learn so many things, but if you don't go out and see the world, you really don't know what the people love and how to govern the country. Let me ask you, do you know what the people are thinking now? Do you know what they like? If you don't know anything, how can you govern the country? So go out with your brother and see the world more often, that's the right way."
"Go to a brothel with you to fool around? Humph!" Duanmu Jinhong flicked his white sleeves and left angrily.
Duanmu Qingchen jumped up and caught up: "Old Third, brothels are temptations! If you can resist temptation, you won't be a tyrant. Don't you always want to be a prince?"
Duanmu Jinhong's steps as he was about to step out of the door were immediately stumbled by Duanmu Qingchen's words and he fell forward.
Duanmu Qingchen was quick to catch his falling body and grinned: "See, when you fall, you still need me, your brother, to stay by your side and help you up~~~" His voice was gentle.
Duanmu Jinhong's cheeks were flushed when he stood up. He didn't know whether he was angry or because his secret was exposed. He pushed Duanmu Qingchen away and walked away faster, as if he was avoiding the plague god.
Duanmu Qingchen walked back to the Grand Tutor Lin Xiang, and without any respect, she put her arm around the Grand Tutor's shoulders, watching the Third Prince's hurriedly leaving from afar: "Grand Tutor, tell me, why does no one like to listen to this man's truth?"
Lin Xiang frowned and held the book he wrote: "I will give this to the emperor." After Lin Xiang finished speaking, he shook his head and turned around.
"Oh. Ah?!" Duanmu Qingchen suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately stopped Lin Xiang and begged, "No, no, no, Master, if I give this to my father, I will definitely not be able to go out to play! I accept the punishment!" Duanmu Qingchen eagerly raised the ruler in Lin Xiang's hand and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Hit me."
Lin Xiang looked at him solemnly for a moment, then picked up the book and said, "Okay, since the prince also believes that governing a country should be based on the people, and can withstand the temptations of the world, and the book written by the prince seems to show that he has some understanding of human nature, then, in the next three days, if the prince can write an article on human nature and give it to me, I will not give the street novel written by the prince to the emperor." Lin Xiang said solemnly, packed up the book and left steadily. (To be continued)
