Xiang Shaolong was sharp enough and walked to a corner with him and asked with his brows furrowed, “Aren’t you supposed to be having lessons?”
Xiao Pan panted as he replied, “I know that Grand Tutor will pass by this area, so I’ve been keeping an eye out”
Xiang Shaolong asked, “Is there anything you want to say?”

But at this point in tiht, cold as frost, her expression stern as she stared at Xiao Pan, “Ask if ignorant, learn if unable to perform, listen to scholars if unable to learn, this has been the way since time memorial Crown Prince, you are so easily distracted and has no heart in your studies, hoill you rule the country and the people in future?”
Xiao Pan is after all still a child so naturally he hid behind Xiang Shaolong in fright, and it beca a confrontation
The attendants ere leading the ere so frightened they retreated to one side, afraid of being implicated
The guards around the that they did not see anything at all
Although Qin Qing was furious, her expression is a chilly cal even, her hands behind her back She lifted her head to look Xiang Shaolong as half a head taller than her and asked gently, “This is the Grand Tutor Xiang that Crown Prince Zheng has been talking about all the time?”
Xiang Shaolong looked at her pure and regal expression and cleared his ht face, “It is indeed I, and I would appreciate Grand Tutor Qin kind advices”
Qin Qing s too polite! Crown Prince! Aren’t you going to walk out, a man must dare to admit to his actions, and take responsibility”
Xiang Shaolong was stunned, “It’s not that serious, right?”
Qin Qing’s expression turned icy as she replied, “There is a big proble’s words It is just a s someone, when he becomes the ruler in future and still has such a disposition, how can he handle the country’s affairs? If Grand Tutor Xiang only kno to protect and abide with the Crown Prince, how can you answer to his Majesty who has bestowed such an i the Crown Prince?”
Xiang Shaolong answered with a wry sht? Take it that I’ht?” He reached out and patted Xiao Pan as still behind hi! Come! Show Grand Tutor Qin how heroic andto admit to your actions and impress her!”
Qin Qing was du that How can a senior official talk like that, as if playing a fool
Xiao Pan walked out on hearing that and stood next to Xiang Shaolong, puffing his chest out and sucking his sto to contain his laughter and he looked totally hilarious
Qin Qing’s eyes settled on Xiao Pan’s face and seeing how his little face was puffed red frohter, can’t help but chuckled although she knows she h She turned her head aside and covered her face with her sleeve

Qin Qing lowered her sleeve, revealing her face that iped of any trace of a smile and arched her delicate brows as she softly reprih?”
Xiao Pan and Xiang Shaolong were so stunned that they iht
But once a can of laughter has been opened, it’s difficult to control Right now not only Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Pan’s expressions looked strange, this prettyis not much better as she tried to look serious and chided, “No one since ti But not concentrating on one’s studies is akin to not learning anything at all Crown Prince Zheng should reflect on your behavior today If you think that you cannot concentrate on your studies, Qin Qing can only resign from her post as Grand Tutor”

Qin Qing is obviously a person who looks stern on the outside but softhearted on the inside She sighed and said, “This tiht! That’s all for today”
She turned towards Xiang Shaolong and before she has a chance to speak, Xiang Shaolong has already bowed towards her suavely with respect, his movements especially splendid
Qin Qing was dazed on seeing this and she lowered her head, avoiding his heated gaze and bowed slightly before turning around and left gracefully

Wu Yingyuan is intelligent and he said with a laugh, “Money is no proble wealth, I’m afraid Premier Lu is still not our et you a batch of courtesans for you to present as gifts” He then chuckled, “I’round”
Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that no matter how shaive thehed, “I only need a herd of warhorses of the finest quality ill not reveal our backgrounds”
Wu Yingyuan was slightly taken aback, “You really intend to go all out?”
Xiang Shaolong was iyuan can understand his intention from just this little bit of information and replied, “Father-in-law can really o all out and deal with King Xiaocheng and Zhao Mu in order to give vent to the anger that has been stuck in my chest”
