Three days later, Zhang Shou returned to Ciqing Palace to teach. He did not feel as if he had been away for a long time, but Qi Liang and several other tutors from Jiuzhang Hall who came to greet him were very happy to see him. Everyone got the opportunity they have now because of Zhang Shou, but everyone was worried that the teacher would retire and leave them here alone. After all, they still couldn't do without Zhang Shou.
However, compared to Zhang Shou's genuine students, a miscellaneous student pushed forward arrogantly and pushed everyone aside, but because of his big body, all others could do was glare at him.
"What are you looking at? You are allowed to surround the teacher, but I am not allowed to talk to the teacher? We are all the teacher's students, you can't monopolize the teacher!" Zhang Dakui looked at everyone with confidence, and then lowered his voice and said, "Teacher, great news, I heard that Concubine Jing died."
Although Qi Liang and the others arrived earlier than Zhang Dakuo, they heard about this for the first time and looked at each other in surprise. Zhang Shou knew that such noble sons were well-known in the palace, and the emperor might not bother to block the news of the death of the deposed queen, so he just gave Zhang Dakuo a meaningful look and then went to the main hall of Ciqing Palace.
Zhang Dakui was caught off guard by his reaction. He was only slightly stunned and quickly caught up with him, and was a little anxious: "Teacher, I really am not talking nonsense..."
Before he finished explaining, Qi Liang couldn't stand it anymore and had to cough and remind him, "Teacher didn't say you were talking nonsense, but this kind of thing is not suitable for discussion, especially in a place like Ciqing Palace! Concubine Jing passed away, this is always a big deal, so you should be cautious when you should be cautious."
When Zhang Shou nodded slightly, Zhang realized that he had said something wrong and done something wrong, and he immediately felt embarrassed. But when he wanted to admit his mistake, he felt that it was too embarrassing to admit his mistake in such an occasion, so he could only follow Zhang Shou closely, racking his brains before finally thinking of another topic.
Although he had heard a little bit of it yesterday evening, he still found it a little hard to believe, so he cautiously asked, "By the way, the Fourth Prince didn't come yesterday, and he didn't come today. Is he sick? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, should we elect a representative to go and take a good look at His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"
This time, Zhang Shou walked forward slowly and said calmly, "The Fourth Prince will be attending classes at the public school these days and will stay there at night. With Xiao Huasheng and Xiao Cheng taking care of him, he will just have a few days of hardship at most."
While Zhang Shou was talking to everyone, they had already entered the main hall of Ciqing Palace. The Third Prince, who was preoccupied with his thoughts, happened to hear these words. He was delighted at first, but when Zhang Shou said that he would have to stay outside for at least a few more days, and that he had grown up with the Fourth Prince since childhood, he couldn't help but feel reluctant to let him go because of their deep brotherly love.
Moreover, he had a lot to say about the death of the deposed empress, but with the Fourth Prince not around, he had nowhere to vent.
Therefore, when he saw Zhang Shou coming forward to salute, he hurriedly returned the salute solemnly and asked awkwardly: "Teacher, my fourth brother has always been impulsive, and he grew up in the palace, so he has some nitpicky little problems. I am really worried. Besides, you are not in the public school now, and I am afraid that he will get into trouble because of his temper. Can you talk to the emperor about it..."
