Chapter 118: Chapter 104 Teacher Teaches (Two-in-One Large Chapter)
This was a sudden “assault.”
Zhao Rong was sowhat caught off guard.
Because according to the plan they had discussed earlier, there was no such arrangent.
He had only told Su Xiaoxiao that when the ti ca, they just needed to get closer and act more affectionately.
So this was her “taking initiatives.”
This little hand.
Slim as tender shoots, skin smooth as congealed fat.
Ice-cold like jade bones, naturally cool without sweat.
Thus, Zhao Rong’s first impression was slightly chilly.
His heart fluttered, and subconsciously giving a gentle pinch, he then continuously felt a soft touch.
Zhao Rong was aware of the gazes of the people around him, and thinking about their current identities and situation, he continued holding on without pulling away.
Soon after, Zhao Rong, with a smile hanging on his lips, turned his head to survey Great Wei Imperial Palace.
Next to him, Su Xiaoxiao’s petite face was veiled with a layer of purple gauze.
Beneath her delicate, high-bridged nose, her features were obscured by a blur of purple mist, her expressions indistinct.
Only her charming, elongated eyes and a pale forehead were visible.
At that mont.
Su Xiaoxiao, unusually heedless of the surrounding gazes, stealthily glanced at Zhao Rong’s profile. Seeing him compliantly follow her lead, her lips curved slightly beneath the veil.
Her hand was very small, while Zhao Rong’s hand was very large.
At that mont, his warm, large hand nearly completely enveloped and controlled hers,
She felt as if she had fallen into a furnace once again.
And after he pinched her hand, it made her gaze slightly intoxicated.
“Teacher Lin, Lady Lan, this way, please. His Majesty was very pleased when he heard of your arrival and is waiting for you in the Imperial Study…”
The eunuch in the python robe’s shrill voice ca through.
Zhao Rong nodded slightly, politely exchanging a few words.
Afterward, Zhao Rong and another followed the eunuch in the python robe, stepping into the large and strictly structured Imperial City.
The group, unobstructed along the way, made lefts and rights.
Through winding paths, past nurous palaces, they finally arrived at a secluded back palace.
Upon arrival, Zhao Rong saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black commoner’s attire pacing back and forth outside the hall.
Upon seeing Zhao Rong and the others arrive, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.
The leading eunuch in the python robe quickly bowed, calling out ‘Your Majesty.’
Zhao Rong realized that this man was Emperor Wei.
Emperor Wei casually gestured a salute, signaling the eunuch in the python robe to withdraw, and stared unblinkingly at Zhao Rong and the other, his face showing a pleased expression.
In between, aside from marveling at Su Xiaoxiao veiled by the face cover a few tis, he focused all his attention on Zhao Rong.
Emperor Wei was very warm towards Zhao Rong, ah, that is, Lin Wenruo.
After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, the three of them entered the Imperial Study.
Emperor Wei asked about affairs in Zhongnan Country, and Zhao Rong, locking eyes with him, maintained a calm deanor and responded fluently.
“Teacher Lin, coming to Liangjing this ti, you didn’t even send soone ahead to notify , leaving unprepared to welco and recompense you for your journey. Today’s hasty invitation, and the modest reception, I hope you will forgive my shortcomings,” said the emperor.
Zhao Rong laughed and replied,
“This trip, it is only my spouse and I. After our wedding, we went out for leisure. Now on our way back, passing through Great Wei, I recalled Your Majesty’s invitation, so we ca to attend.”
Emperor Wei nodded in realization, then glanced at Su Xiaoxiao standing aloof and silent.
He saw her covered with purple gauze, her hair styled like a Daoist nun’s, and dressed in a luxuriously yellow and purple Daoist robe.
He had heard of this National Master Robe, which seed to be called Heavenly Immortal Cave Clothes.
Zhongnan Country, although not large, was rich in natural treasures and resources, holding a unique position among the neighboring nations.
Therefore, the fa of Lin family from Lanxi and Chong Xu Temple was well-known in several countries.
He, being an admirer of Confucianism and Daoism, had long known that the Lin family from Lanxi had an eldest legitimate son who went to study at Siqi Academy, nad Lin Wenruo.
Lately, upon hearing of Lin Wenruo’s return, he had invited him for a visit.
Lin Wenruo had sent a response that he was busy but would surely visit when available.
Then, it had been delayed until now.
The last he had heard about Lin Wenruo was his marriage to the daughter of a national teacher from Zhongnan Country.
Emperor Wei smiled, casting these thoughts aside, no longer dwelling on them.
He composed himself, sitting upright, and looked directly at Zhao Rong.
“Teach , teacher!”
Zhao Rong, examining the man before him who had only been ruling for a few years yet was eager to govern diligently, laughed and said,
“I dare not, Your Majesty has the Pri Minister to assist, Great Wei is flourishing and prospering, and moreover, the Pri Minister is also a senior of Qinqchi at the academy, where is there a need for Qinqchi to ddle? It should be Qinqchi asking for guidance from you and the Pri Minister.”
“Teacher jests, the old Pri Minister once said that teacher is one of the most outstanding young talents in recent years at Siqi Academy, and discussions on governance and peace are naturally ever beneficial,” replied the emperor.
Emperor Wei straightened up and then, unexpectedly, bowed deeply.
Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, quieting down for a mont.
Suddenly he said, “Why not invite the Pri Minister here to help Qinqchi identify shortcomings?”
Emperor Wei paused briefly, and after a mont, replied,
“The old Pri Minister is out of Liangjing on official business.”
“When will the Pri Minister return? Originally, I was also planning to visit the old teacher.”
Emperor Wei hesitated slightly but still answered,
“The Pri Minister’s reply to was… around ten days.”
The scholar in purple nodded.
Seeing this, the emperor again beca solemn.
“Teach , teacher.”
Zhao Rong arched an eyebrow.
Is this the treatnt accorded to scholars from the academies?
Does every secular king treat them as National Scholars?
Or is it because that kid Lin Wenruo is particularly outstanding?
Really impressive, son.
But now, he’s mine…
Zhao Rong, with a serious face yet slightly amused in his heart, thought for a mont, then spoke in a clear voice.
