Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

The Crown Prince heard this and said, "Then please ask the Crown Princess to hire another Gao Ming!"

After the Crown Prince left, Princess Chu and Princess Qi tried to persuade Qiao Jinniang.

"Princess, the Crown Prince is a veteran of three dynasties, and is also the Prince's mentor. He is a reputable official in the East Palace. Offending him will not do you any good!"

"Yes, the Crown Prince and Grand Master had already been admitted to a high position in the Hanlin Academy during the late emperor's time, but he was just practicing calligraphy at the age of three. Why should we have such a quarrel with him? Among the officials in Chang'an, the Crown Prince and Grand Master has the highest knowledge."

Princess Chu nodded and said: "If I offend him, I am afraid that no other master will dare to teach me, and no one will dare to say that their knowledge is better than that of the prince and grand master."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Thank you two sisters-in-law for their kindness, Xi'er, we are going back to the palace."

Lu Xi obediently took Qiao Jinniang's hand and got into the sedan chair with her.

After returning to the East Palace, Xie Yun had left.

Qiao Jinniang informed Lu Chen about the grudge she had just had with the Crown Prince and Grand Master, "I know he is your master and cannot be offended easily, but I will not let Xi'er fall into danger just for the sake of tolerance."

Lu Chen said: "If the prince and grand master said that you came from the countryside, his position as grand master would have come to an end. You can rest assured about this."

Qiao Jinniang said: "I don't care about this, but I am worried about how to find Xi'er's enlightenment master. Although an ordinary student can teach a three-year-old child, after all, it is the emperor's grandson's enlightenment master."

Xi'er likes to read, and he can get up early whenever he is not sleeping.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "If Xi'er is allowed to go to Qingming College, would you be willing?"

"Of course not!" Qiao Jinniang said, "Qingming Academy is not in Chang'an City, and there are not many days off on weekdays. He is only three years old!"

If Xi'er is already thirteen years old today, then Qiao Jinniang will not delay Xi'er's studies no matter how much she can't let him go. How can she let Xi'er go to Qingming College alone when she is only three years old?

Lu Chen said to Qiao Jinniang: "There are only a handful of gentlemen who are more knowledgeable than the Grand Master. After all, Prime Minister Lin is busy with official duties. Besides, he is very powerful in the officialdom, but he may not be able to teach students."

Qiao Jinniang pondered for a while and said, "How about you teach Xi'er? It's not difficult to teach Xi'er with your knowledge."

Lu Chen said: "I can't teach him, but I do have an excellent candidate for my husband here, but I'm afraid he won't be willing."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Who is it? Xi'er is the emperor's grandson after all. How can the world be unwilling to teach Xi'er?"

"Emperor Master Ji Wangkui."

Qiao Jinniang was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and she had heard the name of the great scholar Ji Wangkui. At the age of twenty, Ji Wangkui compiled books that are used for scientific research by today's literati.

During the reign of the late emperor, Ji Wangkui's reputation was as famous as that of Xie Daru, the current headmaster of Qingming Academy.

Lu Chen said: "This Master Ji is my father's mentor, and I was taught by him when I was young.

Mr. Qingming from the famous Qingming Academy was his master. Mr. Qingming had accepted him and Xie Daru as his apprentices.

One is assisting the prince in the court, and the other is in the wild and the world is full of apricots and plums. "

Qiao Jinniang said: "Master Ji must be over eighty years old, right? People rarely live past seventy years. At this age, he may not be willing to teach Xi'er."

Xi'er is only three years old, and Master Ji is already over eighty years old. How could such a knowledgeable and generous old man be willing to enlighten a child at such a young age like Xi'er?

Lu Chen said: "Go and try."

Qiao Jinniang naturally wanted Master Ji to teach Xi'er.

But she didn't have much hope.

Master Ji is currently at an old age, and teaching a three-year-old child would be overkill.

But, as a mother, you should always give it a try.

Qiao Jinniang went to tell the queen about the matter and asked to leave the palace to visit Master Ji.

Empress Zhou heard this and said: "Master Ji Di has always had a weird temper. When I asked him to teach Chen'er, I used a lot of energy.

I went to Ji Mansion a few days ago and saw that his temper was getting weirder and weirder. What would you do if he wanted Xi'er to learn calligraphy at the age of three? "

Qiao Jinniang said: "If Master Ji is like this, then I will find another mentor.

Besides, I think Master Ji will be a very good master if he can teach a wise man like my father. "

Empress Zhou smiled and said, "Then go ahead and remember not to use your status as Crown Princess to pressure him. He is the least willing to let others use their status to pressure him."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Yes."

…

Lu Chen took a free day and took Lu Xi with Qiao Jinniang to visit Ji Mansion.

Ji Mansion is not prominent in Chang'an, and it does not occupy a large area. When I knocked on the door, no concierge came. After a while, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old came to open the door.

This young man obviously knew Lu Chen, and he saluted and said, "Common people, please see your highness. Is your highness here today to visit your grandfather?"

Lu Chen said: "Exactly."

The young man sighed and said, "My grandfather is having an argument with my grandmother. The imperial doctor told my grandfather that he should eat less sweets. My grandmother forbids my grandfather to eat sweets. My grandfather is acting like a child. Why don't you, Your Highness, come back another day?"

Lu Chen said: "It's okay, you can lead the way."

Qiao Jinniang whispered in Lu Chen's ear: "I don't know that Emperor Ji can't eat sweets, and he also brought a lot of mung bean cakes. What should I do?"

Lu Chen said: "It's not that you can't eat it, it's just that you should eat less. Master Ji is fond of sweets and is old. Those sweets are too sticky and greasy. He is afraid of losing his teeth, so he is not allowed to eat them, your mung bean cake." It melts in your mouth and has a sweet aftertaste, just right.”

Qiao Jinniang breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking into the yard, I saw a gray-haired old man pouting high in the distance. The boy next to him persuaded him to eat. The old man was acting like a child and said: "Without maltose, there will be no food." Have a meal."

This is really in contrast to Qiao Jinniang's view of the imperial master, who is the first scholar with an immortal style.

Lu Chen looked at Qiao Jinniang with a faint smile, "Master Ji and you are not father and daughter, but we are more like father and daughter."

Qiao Jinniang asked in confusion: "Huh?"

Lu Chen said: "After all, you won't take medicine if you don't give me maltose."

Qiao Jinniang: "..."

"Grandpa, the crown prince, crown princess and their little grandson are here to see you."

Ji Wangkui waved his hand and said: "No, no, Emperor Huilin clearly promised me to take care of me well. What else are you doing here?"

Qiao Jinniang took the mung bean cake from Hong Ling, walked to Ji Wangkui's side and said, "Mr. Ji, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, I have brought you the mung bean cake."

Ji Wangkui stared at the soft and dense mung bean cake with the fragrance of bean paste in Qiao Jinniang's hand, and couldn't help but reach out to take it.

Qiao Jinniang handed Ji Wangkui a piece of bean paste with less filling.

As soon as Ji Wangkui ate, he said, "Has the pastry chef in the palace changed? The mung bean cakes sent by the palace in previous years were not as dense and delicious, but this one still has bean paste filling!"

Qiao Jinniang smiled and said: "Mr. Ji, I made these. If he likes them, I will ask someone to bring more cakes to him another day."

Ji Wangkui glanced at Qiao Jinniang and said, "You look so much like Lao Zheng's granddaughter!"
