C70 (2/2)
Ru Yi burst into laughter.
Wang is often a person who is not as happy as everyone else.
On the other hand, Tutor Qian was the opposite. He was a strict and careful person who had high requirements for others and high requirements for his hunger. The French Grandmaster had tricked him once, making his injuries extremely severe.
Ru Yi didn't leave immediately after the meal, so she said in a considerate tone, ”This old man has had too much to eat today. If he wants to go out and scatter, then His Highness will take care of himself.” After saying that, he walked away, leaning on his walking stick on Chang Xi's shoulder.
There was a light on in Tutor Qian's room. He was sitting by the side of the box, writing something down. Ru Yi stood at the door and waited for a while before he entered after seeing the tutor put down his pen.
Li Qing rushed over with beads of sweat on his face and gave Li Rou a meaningful look from afar. Li Rou glanced at the imperial daughter who was helping to grind ink in the room before she took a few steps forward and said a few words to Li Jing, causing Li Rou's complexion to slightly change.
”I understand, I'll tell His Highness later.”
Within the room, Ru Yi was currently speaking with Tutor Qian.
”In the past, this disciple did not like grinding ink, so I thought it would be better to not mention trouble, but to strike heavily and steadily, with light and slow strength, and a straight and vertical strength, as well as adding more water. Not good, adding less is not good, if I were to deliberately grind the right amount of ink for the water, then it might be a waste or it might not be enough …
”Later on, the number of words I wrote slowly increased. On the contrary, I felt that the words I wrote were better than the ones I grinded out from the ink, until I was able to use ink without having to spend a lot of effort, and I was even happier than if I had won the mountain of gold and silver …”
”It's much easier to grind ink now, but I still remember the disgust I felt in my heart.
”First of all, the person who grinds the ink must stand still. If the person stands at a crooked angle, he will definitely not be able to grind the ink. Second of all is the good water. If you change the ink for hot water or tea, you won't be able to get the good ink.”
”Thinking back to what the Imperial Tutor once said, 'The desires of the ancient times are clearly good for the world, the ones who govern their own country first …' Those who wish to cultivate the body first shall be able to cultivate the heart; those who wish to cultivate the body first shall be able to cultivate the heart. Property and knowledge, knowledge and sincerity, sincerity and righteousness, the heart and body cultivation, home and family, home and family, country and government, the world and peace.
To cultivate the body, one must not be righteous; to fear, one must not be righteous; to be happy, one must not be righteous; to worry, one must not be righteous. Your disciple has some insights. ”
”Before, disciple was much more afraid, and was restrained at every turn. Not only did it hurt royal father's kindness towards me, it also caused mother to feel uncomfortable and old, disciple should be grateful to the tutor. If it wasn't for him waking up from his shock with a single word, disciple might have had a taste of the regret of wanting to be raised and not treated like a child.”
Li Rou stood outside the room and waited for about a quarter of an hour. She felt that the time was extremely long. Thinking back to what Li Jing had just said, she decided to take the risk.
When Tutor Qian raised his head, he immediately withdrew, waiting for the princess to raise her head and share a bit of his peripheral vision.
Heaven bless the Grand Lady.
Ru Yi placed down the ink stick. ”Imperial Tutor, rest early. Your disciple will take his leave.”
She didn't say anything like ”don't stay up late at night” because it was a bit childish for a junior at the Tutor's age. If Tutor Qian had changed to Xue Chaoyun now, she would definitely yell at him to go to sleep.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to read people's minds, but that he was depressed in his heart.
”If the honored tutor still wants to write, then you should send a few more lamps over to watch the hour and urge him to rest early.”
He then turned around to take a look and saw that Tutor Qian's calligraphy had slowed down, so he was at ease as he brought Li Rou out of the courtyard.
After exiting the courtyard, Li Rou hastily whispered, ”Your Highness, Prince Jiang Liu is kneeling outside the palace …”
Ru Yi felt her temples throbbing as she lowered her voice and asked with a stern voice,
”What's going on? Who told him to kneel? ” No matter what, she should not be humiliated in Yan Country. Although she was usually not very cordial, she had still treated him with respect. What grievances did Prince Jiang have to suffer to be able to kneel outside the palace?
She stopped, closed her eyes, and waited for Li Rou's reply. Things were unexpected, so she had to calm down.
”At a quarter to one, Prince Jiang Liu asked to meet him. Since you said that you didn't want to meet him, this servant sent someone to speak to him. The person who replied said that Prince Jiang Liu had boarded a carriage at the entrance of the palace.”
For some reason, the carriage didn't leave and stopped at a large poplar tree outside the palace. When it came to a stop, the guard on duty said that he thought he saw someone hurrying to the carriage. Soon after, Prince Jiang came out and kneeled … ”
Ru Yi frowned. ”How long has it been?”
Li Rou's tone did not stop. ”About half an hour?”
Unlike the imperial palace, the palace was not allowed to wander around. However, the surroundings were either tents or courtyards. People were coming and going, and although half an hour sounded like a short period of time, as long as one had the heart, one could see everything.
Ru Yi felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She had won a battle with Jiang Guo, but Jiang Guo had sent a little ancestor over!
She did not realize that Xue Ji Yun was much more difficult to serve than Jiang DuLi.
Seeing that the princess was frowning so badly that she could pinch a mosquito to death, it was obvious that she was no longer in a good mood for the evening.
”Li Jing happened to see it outside, so he invited Li Zhong and the Sixth Prince to sit in the guard room. Li Zhong and the Sixth Prince's attendant, Ah Wang, were waiting on the side. Li Jing came over to tell the servant.”
