At that moment, a woman dressed in a guard's outfit walked in from outside the door.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly King and Your Majesty the Emperor. Xu Lingyin's studies have been arranged."
Li Chang'an had previously told Huaiqing that although Xu Lingyin was young, she was an important character.
The astute empress naturally picked up on this information, so she specially sent people to train her.
However, Li Chang'an didn't go into too much detail, so Huaiqing's understanding may have been somewhat flawed.
Li Chang'an looked at the female guards below the steps and felt that they looked somewhat familiar.
“My lord, she is my newly recruited bodyguard. She used to be the head constable of the government office. I’m sure you still remember her.”
"I entrust Lord Lü with full authority over Lingyin's matter."
Li Chang'an did indeed remember her; the female guard had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and was agile and energetic.
She was different from Huaiqing, who always wore palace dresses and whose proud figure made it impossible for people to tell that she was a female warrior.
Lü Qing, on the other hand, was tall and slender, with a striking and imposing presence, clearly possessing exceptional skills.
Especially her long legs, which looked even more slender and upright in the guard's uniform.
Two years ago, Li Chang'an came to the capital and encountered the case of Princess Pingyang, and met Lü Qing once.
"I remember, it was Officer Lü."
Lu Qing respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, I am honored by the Emperor's favor and have now entered the palace as a guard."
Now that Huaiqing has become empress, she naturally needs to recruit a group of trusted female guards, which will be more convenient to use.
"Good, serve Huaiqing well, and I will not treat you unfairly."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Qing's voice was filled with excitement.
The Great Fengtian King is the extraordinary being behind the Empress, and is an extraordinary being who is allowed by the Supervisor to freely enter and leave the palace.
In other words, this is the true master of the Great Feng Dynasty!
"However, there's something... about Rinne... just do your best."
"This humble servant will certainly do his utmost!" Lü Qing replied readily.
……
An hour later.
Lü Qing was leading the little boy towards the Imperial Study.
"Lord Lü, you are so tall."
Lü Qing smiled and said, "Lingyin will grow taller in the future too."
The two walked for a while longer, and then Xu Lingyin looked up and said, "Lord Lü, you are so beautiful."
Children speak the truth without reservation; sometimes they just love to tell the truth.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "Lingyin will be even more beautiful in the future."
As they approached the Imperial Study, Xu Lingyin looked up again.
"Lord Lü, all the beauties in the capital have married my brother-in-law. Are you going to marry him too?"
Lu Qing's smile froze instantly; she dared not say such things lightly.
Fortunately, she had conducted a thorough background check on Xu Lingyin.
She took a small box out of her sleeve. "Lingyin, these are pastries made by the imperial chefs in the palace..."
"Wow!" Xu Lingyin snatched it and stopped talking nonsense.
Lu Qing wiped the sweat from her forehead; sure enough, food could shut her up.
Before long, Lü Qing brought the little boy to the study.
In the spacious hall, there were twelve tables, and twelve children sat obediently behind them, listening attentively to the old tutor's lecture in front of the hall.
The Grand Tutor is nearly eighty years old. He is a veteran of three reigns, the second-highest scorer during the Zhen De era, and has taught Emperor Yuan Jing, Emperor Huai Qing, and Emperor Lin'an. Now he will be teaching the new generation of the royal family.
When Emperor Yuanjing neglected his duties due to his pursuit of Taoism, the Grand Tutor stormed into the palace and angrily denounced the incompetent emperor outside the imperial study.
Disheartened, he then went into seclusion in the capital.
After Yuan Jing's death, he was one of the few people who knew the secret, so he resolved his inner conflict, picked up his beloved work again, and continued to contribute his remaining energy.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor!"
Lü Qing led the little boy across the threshold and bowed.
The Grand Tutor glanced at it and said, "Oh, it's Lord Lü from His Majesty's side."
Lü Qing nodded, then looked at Xu Lingyin:
"This child is a real problem for the Grand Tutor; she is Princess Xu's younger sister."
"Xu's eldest son is a disciple of the Heavenly King. He has high aptitude and is not far from being promoted to the Golden Gong."
"Xu's second son was the top scholar in the imperial examination, and he was quite accomplished in policy essays."
There was a reason why Huaiqing arranged for Lü Qing to come.
The people brought by the Empress's personal guards were also female relatives of the Heavenly King's concubine, so the younger members of the royal family dared not bully them at will.
The Empress was still somewhat worried, fearing that the pampered royals might bully Xu Lingyin.
"Oh, a woman who is both scholarly and martial, a family of outstanding talents, this young lady must also be quite gifted."
The Grand Tutor beckoned Xu Lingyin to come forward and asked:
"Where did you receive your initial education before coming here? Who was your mentor?"
The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then answered honestly:
"forgotten."
?
The Grand Tutor was taken aback; he had even forgotten his mentor.
Or perhaps, this child hasn't even started learning yet?
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you recite the Three Character Classic?"
"I will, I will."
Xu Lingyin nodded excitedly.
The Grand Tutor's expression softened, and he nodded with a smile: "Recite it for me."
"At the beginning of life, human nature..."
The Grand Tutor smiled and reminded him, "At birth, human nature is inherently good."
Xu Lingyin: "Human nature is inherently good."
The Grand Tutor smiled as before, “You don’t need to pause.”
Xu Lingyin said in a crisp voice, "I forgot."
The Grand Tutor said solemnly, “Let’s start anew. At the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good.”
A young child asked, "What was a person's surname at birth?"
The Grand Tutor's face twitched slightly...

An hour later.
Lu Qing came to Huaiqing in a panic, "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has suddenly fallen ill and is bedridden!"
Huaiqing was taken aback, thinking to himself, "The Grand Tutor was perfectly fine recently, how could he suddenly fall ill?"
She remembered Li Chang'an's words, and her heart sank. She immediately rushed to visit him.
Lu Qing was filled with anxiety; she never expected that she would mess up such a small matter.
Although her task was only to take Xu Lingyin to school, she had never heard of a child making her husband faint from anger on their first day of school.
Huaiqing put down his work and went to the Imperial Study, where he saw the Grand Tutor lying on a small couch, with several imperial physicians examining him.
"Your Majesty the Emperor," the imperial physicians bowed in unison.
Huaiqing waved his hand, his usually aloof and beautiful face now filled with seriousness:
"How is the Grand Tutor's health?"
A royal physician said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. The Grand Tutor is fine. He just has a sudden headache and dizziness. He will recover after a few days of bed rest."
Another imperial physician added, "But he must not be stimulated during this period and needs to rest."
To put it in simpler terms: The Grand Tutor is fine; he just had a spike in blood pressure!
Huaiqing walked to the bedside, looked at the Grand Tutor whose breath was weakening, and tentatively asked, "Grand Tutor, what's wrong? What happened?"
The Grand Tutor said weakly, "Help me up, I'm still alright!"
