Chapter 367 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 11
"Princess tutor?"
Su Ji recalled carefully, but no matter in the novel or the original plot, there was no such thing as the heroine becoming a tutor to the princess.
Madam Shangguan disagreed: "Master, the princess's tutors are always the daughters of officials below the third rank. They have nothing to do with our Feiyun, right?"
Lord Shangguan frowned, "But this time, according to the Emperor's intention, all the daughters of ministers must participate in the election."
"What?" Madam Shangguan exclaimed, "Why did you suddenly change the rules?"
Shangguan Xi reminded: "Mother, be careful with your words!"
He said to his brothers and sisters, "The emperor's rules are the rules. The emperor is so gracious. Since he has allowed me to run for the election, then go ahead!"
Lord Shangguan also nodded and looked at Shangguan Feiyun lovingly: "That's right, when the time comes, Daddy will ask the Emperor for mercy. You just go through the motions, your elder brother and I will take care of everything!"
Shangguan Xi also said: "Little sister, you are a daughter of the Shangguan family. Although you are not as noble as the princesses and princesses, you are not someone that can be bullied by some random people. We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. Just do as you please."
Shangguan Feiyun nodded obediently: "Brother, I know!"
She is not afraid as long as Su Jiu is here!
"Father," Shangguan Feiyun said coquettishly, holding Shangguan's hand. "Why would you let us run for election when all is well?"
Lord Shangguan sighed helplessly: "Alas!"
Some time ago, a basin of two-colored Biejiaowanshui was presented to me, which was very rare.
Emperor Qianqing was very happy. Today was his day off, so he specially called his trusted ministers to go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw the third princess and the fifth princess fighting.
Yes, it's a fight.
One was pulling hair, the other was biting the arm. The two princesses had no dignity at all, but instead acted like children in the market pulling each other's hair.
The fourth princess stood aside and watched the fun, adding fuel to the fire from time to time.
The third princess had amazing fighting power. She dragged the fifth princess by the hair with one hand, and pushed the fourth princess to the ground with the other hand.
When the fourth princess's tutor saw this, she didn't dare to pull the third princess, so she joined forces with the fifth princess's tutor to beat the third princess's tutor.
The fifth princess's tutor broke free and rushed to save his master, but was slapped to the ground by the third princess.
The scene was a complete chaos.
The second princess happened to enter the palace. Upon hearing the news, she hurried over to dissuade them, but was knocked down by the fourth princess and fell into the basin of Biejiaowan water.
Just like that, Emperor Qianqing's rare plum blossom was gone, and the four princesses were put in solitary confinement to copy the Book of Filial Piety.
Second Princess: An unexpected disaster.
It’s really three Qs!
"How outrageous!" Emperor Qianqing smashed things in the imperial study, feeling that he had lost all face.
At this time, a wise man made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, the princess is in this state because of the tutors. They failed to properly advise the princess. Why don't you choose a suitable tutor for the princess?"
People are like this. No matter how wrong the princesses are, they are still their own flesh and blood. If they make mistakes, it is always someone else's fault.
Then, the three princesses' tutors got into trouble.
Emperor Qianqing ordered that each of them be beaten with twenty sticks for not admonishing the princess properly but instead joining in the princess' mischief. He ignored their pleas for mercy and immediately sent them out of the palace.
The second princess has already married, and her tutor has long been promised to someone else, so this punishment has little impact on her.
However, she was completely implicated this time and felt very aggrieved.
So the second princess went to see Emperor Qianqing crying.
Emperor Qianqing had four sons and five daughters.
The eldest princess was born to the previous queen and died of illness at the age of three.
The second princess was the daughter of Concubine Yi. For a long time, she was the only daughter of Emperor Qianqing and was very favored.
The third princess was born to Concubine Rong and is the same mother as the second prince Gu Hongyao.
The fourth princess is the daughter of Concubine Li. She did not inherit Concubine Li's beauty and has an ordinary appearance. She left an average impression on Emperor Qianqing, who was obsessed with looks.
The fifth princess was the daughter of Concubine Xiang. She was beautiful and the most beautiful of the five princesses. She was quite loved by Emperor Qianqing.
This time, it was the kitten raised by the fifth princess that bit the parrot of the third princess to death, which caused the two to quarrel.
At first it was just a verbal dispute, but later, with the instigation of the fourth princess who was watching the fun, the battle intensified and finally turned into a big brawl.
As soon as the Second Princess arrived at the Imperial Garden, she received a report from a palace maid saying that three princesses had started fighting. She hurried over to stop the fight, but was knocked down by the Fourth Princess instead, and smashed the plum blossoms that Emperor Qianqing wanted to show off.
Although it was the second princess who destroyed the plum blossoms, she did not do it on purpose, but was implicated by others.
Secondly, the second princess has always been obedient and well-behaved, and is the most favorite daughter in Emperor Qianqing's heart, so he is reluctant to blame her too much.
So, when the second princess cried, Emperor Qianqing softened his heart.
However, the second princess had finally died from sitting on that rare plum blossom, so she had to give her some punishment to vent her anger.
Therefore, the second princess was confined to her house for a month, and she was not required to copy the Book of Filial Piety.
The second princess happily returned home and was confined to her room, but the other three princesses were not happy about it and followed suit and went to Emperor Qianqing to cry and make a scene.
However, Emperor Qianqing had lost his patience, and the three princesses' pleas were in vain. Instead, they were given an additional twenty copies of the manuscript as punishment.
Afterwards, Emperor Qianqing ordered the selection of new tutors for the three princesses.
He learned his lesson profoundly and decided to select tutors with outstanding family backgrounds for the three princesses, so that the three princesses would be more cautious and disciplined in their actions.
After listening to Lord Shangguan's narration, Madam Shangguan showed a worried look on her face: "The three princesses... uh... are outstanding in character. I'm afraid our Feiyun can't handle it!"
But now that Emperor Qianqing has issued the decree, the Shangguan family, as their confidants, will naturally be the first to respond.
I just hope that the princesses will look down on Shangguan Feiyun because of her young age and let her go home safely.
Shangguan Feiyun's status is noble, but no matter what, she cannot compare to the princess of the royal family. If she suffers a loss, it will be difficult for her to speak for her own children.
Lord Shangguan and Shangguan Xi looked calm and told Shangguan Feiyun to rest assured, but in their hearts they began to wonder if there was any way to make Shangguan Feiyun lose the election.
Shangguan Feiyun didn't care. Under Su Jiu's influence, she became much more open-minded.
She sat next to Madam Shangguan and comforted her softly, "Dad, Mom, big brother, second brother, third brother, don't worry. Even if I'm chosen, I will take good care of myself!"
Now that the end of the year is approaching, the selection of the princess's tutor is scheduled for March, so there is still some time to plan.
The others looked at each other and decided that this was the only way to go.
In Ciming Palace, Gu Hongying read the contents of the note sent by the Fourth Princess, lit it with a candle, and then put it in the teacup, watching the note turn into a pool of black garbage.
Concubine Feng said softly, "Ying'er, the Emperor has ordered the selection of tutors for the princesses. Second Miss Liu will definitely be among them, so you must be prepared."
