Chapter 68 My Background is Somewhat Strange
what?
The crown prince also wants to be her teacher?
Lu Yangyang was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, staring wide-eyed at the Crown Prince.
What day is it today? Why do so many people want to be her teacher?
Is she really that diligent and studious?
Or is she truly gifted, and everyone thinks she has great potential?
Lu Yangyang hesitated for a moment, but based on the principle of not missing out on a good deal, she readily agreed, "Okay."
The prince's lips curled up again.
Lu Yangyang was momentarily blinded by his smile, completely forgetting that she was supposed to tell him that she was trying to find a way to cure his leg.
Lu Yangyang called Eunuch Cao over to help the Crown Prince clean up the bloodstains, and then went back first.
Watching Lu Yangyang's departing figure, Eunuch Cao couldn't help but say to the Crown Prince, "Miss Lu is such a lively young lady. There are very few girls like her in the capital. No wonder even the Imperial Physician and Grand Tutor Lan treat her with special regard!"
As he spoke, Eunuch Cao asked with great curiosity, "It's really strange. The Grand Tutor, who is usually so irritable and easily agitated, was so gentle with Miss Lu today."
Eunuch Cao couldn't understand it.
"Didn't the teacher scold anyone today?" the prince suddenly asked.
Eunuch Cao lowered his voice: "Where did he not curse? After I told him what the headmaster said, he cursed for a full quarter of an hour, making all the servants who came with him cry. They ran back to find someone with red eyes."
"Oh? Who did they insult?"
Eunuch Cao coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and whispered, "Who else could it be? First, he scolded Madam Lan, saying she must have been out of her mind to marry such a scoundrel. Then he scolded the Duke, saying if he didn't have the ability, he shouldn't have married her. If he couldn't handle it, he should send his daughter back. Who would put up with a scoundrel's arrogance? If this old servant hadn't stopped him, he probably would have gone to the Duke of Sheng's house to argue with him. With the Grand Tutor's temper, no wonder the Duke of Sheng always avoids him."
At this point, even Eunuch Cao couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Grand Tutor Lan was the Crown Prince's teacher, having taught him since his childhood, several princes and princesses had attended his classes in the Imperial Study.
Unfortunately, they all couldn't bear the blow from the Grand Tutor, so they cried, shouted, pretended to be sick, and refused to attend the Grand Tutor's classes anymore.
Even today, when the Grand Tutor teaches part-time at Taiming Academy, he is not a popular teacher.
The main problem is that she has an unappealing mouth.
Apart from the Crown Prince, so far no one has been able to get anything good from Grand Tutor Lan.
It is said that when His Majesty appointed the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, the Grand Tutor's father, His Majesty's teacher, the old Grand Tutor, was still alive. He advised His Majesty to think twice, saying that his son was highly talented but not qualified to be an official. He suggested that His Majesty should simply grant him a "mute" medicine, otherwise he worried that his son might say something like "exterminating nine generations of his family" one day, which would be a real loss.
This amused His Majesty greatly, and he insisted on handing the Crown Prince over to the Grand Tutor.
The crown prince tapped his finger thoughtfully, "It is indeed a bit strange."
"Your Highness, shall I allow this old servant to investigate?" Eunuch Cao asked tentatively.
"Since I trust her, I cannot investigate her in secret. However, her background seems rather strange."
Before the Crown Prince met Lu Yangyang, and before she came to the capital, he already knew of her existence and many of the things she had done.
But he never expected that he would meet Lu Yangyang in the capital.
When Yan Yue first mentioned it, he thought it was a coincidence, but when he saw that Yan Yue's injuries had really healed, he was convinced that it was her.
I went to the polo field because I was curious about what kind of girl she was.
As it turns out, she was indeed a delightful little girl.
But because of this, he should respect her more, rather than having someone investigate her past, the reason she came to the capital, or even her strange relationship with the Duke of Sheng's mansion.
"Then..." Eunuch Cao looked at the Crown Prince uncertainly, "Should we investigate?"
"You'll find out when the time is right."
If he doesn't know, it only means that their current relationship isn't suitable for him to know.
……
Lu Yangyang returned to her courtyard and practiced calligraphy for a while, following the instructions of Grand Tutor Lan. After comparing her work, she found that she had made great progress, which made her quite happy.
At this moment, Granny Shen walked in from outside and whispered in Lu Yangyang's ear, "Madam Lan has arrived. Miss, you can rest assured. Madam Wei will be staying at the mansion for the time being to help with the young master's wedding. With her watching over things, Madam will be fine."
"Madam Wei?" Lu Yangyang asked curiously, "Who is she?"
"She is the wife of Master Lan, the eldest sister-in-law of the madam. You will be able to meet her tomorrow. Madam Wei is meticulous in her work and will definitely be able to find out who is behind this." Granny Shen looked relaxed, clearly relieved.
Then, he was still in the mood to talk about serious matters with Lu Yangyang: "The young master's wedding is set for this year. Several dates have been chosen. Originally, it was set for before the new year, but now the madam has suddenly fallen seriously ill. She has already sent a letter to the young master and chosen the second day of the eighth month to hold the wedding. Fortunately, everything is ready and we are just waiting for the wedding to take place. The young master should be back in a few days."
“Your Highness…” Lu Yangyang remained silent for a moment.
There was no wedding in the dream.
Because Lady Lan in the dream did not suddenly fall seriously ill, the Crown Prince's marriage was not brought forward and was to be held at the end of the year as originally planned. However, unfortunately, the bride's grandmother passed away at the end of the year, and the Crown Prince had to observe a year of mourning, so he did not return. Moreover, he did not live to see the wedding a year later, as he died in battle and never returned.
Therefore, in her dream, Lu Yangyang never saw this prince, who was also her biological "elder brother".
Now everything is different.
However, after thinking about Duke Sheng, then about Sheng Junyi, that lunatic, and Sheng Junye, that little tyrant, Lu Yangyang had no expectations for this "elder brother."
Now that Lan has come up with a solution, she will stop thinking about it for the time being.
Lu Yangyang turned around and continued practicing her calligraphy.
Sure enough, the next day, Lu Yangyang met Madam Wei. Unlike what she had imagined, Madam Wei was very enthusiastic towards her, as if she wished she were her own daughter. She directly told Lan Shi that she would take her back and raise her.
Lu Yangyang sensed her kindness and cooperated by staying with her for a while before leaving.
In the following days, Lu Yangyang practiced calligraphy in the courtyard every day, then went to give the Crown Prince acupuncture, and also studied with the Crown Prince. Occasionally, she would also audit some of Grand Tutor Lan's classes.
Life was very busy and fulfilling.
Until the day of the Ghost Festival in July, when Sheng Junyao, the heir of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, returned to the mansion, her rare peace of the past few days was suddenly shattered.
