The next day, when Zhang Shou came to Ciqing Palace to give a lecture, he was met with the sincere apology of the Third Prince almost as soon as he entered. In response, he had to smile helplessly and said, "I was just dragged here by the Emperor that day, and this happened to be the right time. If His Royal Highness wants to apologize, it would be better to instruct Lu Gaoyuan next time to calculate the time carefully, at least so that the Emperor will not catch him until he returns to the palace."
"In this way, at least I won't be dragged to the scene by the emperor in such an embarrassing way."
After making a few jokes, Zhang Shou glanced at the other tutors and said with a smile, "If His Royal Highness really wants to apologize, he should say it to the tutors. After all, they knew nothing and still endured the emperor's wrath."
As soon as these words came out, the several attendants who had just lowered their heads and kept silent like quails immediately panicked. One said that His Royal Highness had already apologized, but as soon as he said it, he realized that it was wrong and quickly changed his words to say that His Royal Highness had already comforted them; another said that they had neglected their duties in the first place and forgot to advise His Royal Highness to combine work and rest...
In this panic atmosphere, Lu Sanlang finally spoke with resentment: "Teacher, the Crown Prince has really apologized one by one, which scared everyone. Now that you reminded us, the Crown Prince will really apologize again, and everyone will be frightened for nothing. Fortunately, you took the blame this time, otherwise I'm afraid everyone outside would definitely shout for Lu Sanlang to be executed!"
"Wrong, please kill Lu Zhu, they don't care whether you like your scientific name or not!"
Zhang Shou mocked Lu Sanlang a little, and he immediately looked even more sad. The Third Prince was about to speak but stopped. He smiled and said, "Well, there is a saying that goes, if you are not impeached, you are mediocre. So you should learn from me in the future. If you are impeached by those old men a few times, you will become thick-skinned and don't care. Well, no more nonsense, let's go to class!"
If one is not envied by others, he is mediocre. But for Zhang Shou, it became if one is not impeached, he is mediocre. The third prince's guilt suddenly turned into a smile, especially when he saw Zhang Shou really started to teach freely. He put away his thoughts, listened carefully, asked questions, and took notes... Before he knew it, the class was over. He didn't sleep well in the past few days and wanted to yawn, but he held it back.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Shou not only saw it, but also suddenly said: "Pay attention during class. Now it's time to get off class. It doesn't matter if you stretch, yawn, or stand up and move around. I'm not one of those old adults who are strict with rules. I don't have so many rules."
"If you think I'm explaining it too deeply or too difficult, you can bring it up... Lu Gaoyuan!"
Zhang Shou's sudden voice frightened Lu Sanlang so much that he jumped up. But after he stood up, he looked around in confusion. He was distracted just now. What on earth did Zhang Shou say? He could make a blind guess about other teachers, but he dared not do that about Zhang Shou!
"Take the lead, stretch yourself, yawn, and relax." Seeing that the little fat man was confused by this special request, but then he did it without hesitation, Zhang Shou glanced at the others who were hesitating, and suddenly waved to call the third prince to the inner room. After completely avoiding the sight of the attendants, he turned his head to look at the little prince.
