Chapter 978: The Good-Tempered Tenth Prince Flies Into Rage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Gu Nuo’er woke up, the morning court session had already ended. Ye Siming had already set off with the city patrol guards.
She heard that Ye Siming was going to check if there were many bad people trying to enter the capital.
Gu Nuo’er rested her chin on her small hand, her big black eyes sparkling.
“Uh... Will Elder Brother Siming remember to bring me something fun to play with?”
Four days. Then she would obediently wait for him to come back!
The child quickly got over it and slipped out of the imperial study to play, leaving her father alone in front of a pile of memorials.
In the Chengqian Hall, the tenth prince, Gu Ziliang, was listening to the rain while copying words.
Master Tao sat on a chair not far away and rested his head on his hand to take a nap.
After Gu Nuo’er scolded him last time, he didn’t dare to let the tenth prince copy the Analects of Confucius anymore.
Instead, he used the excuse of nurturing him to get him to copy the “Guwen?Guanzhi”!
Gu Ziliang knew that Master Tao was afraid of Gu Nuo’er and didn’t dare to make things difficult for him openly.
However, in the dark, he still used these cheap tricks.
After a long while, he asked sternly, “How long has it been? Why did Your Highness only copy three pieces of paper?”
Gu Ziliang frowned slightly. “It’s only been an hour, but I’ve already done my best. Didn’t the teacher say that copying books can’t be done quickly and must be done steadily?”
Master Tao was a little displeased by his retort.
He looked behind Gu Ziliang.
He made sure that no one was standing outside.
He was afraid that the little princess would suddenly appear and punish him.
After confirming that there was no one around, Master Tao said angrily, “Your Highness, it’s been a few consecutive days and you’ve been using this attitude to brush me off.
“Although Her Highness previously said that I shouldn’t let you continue copying books, I want you to learn better and be more knowledgeable than other princes. That’s why I made up my mind to let you copy these.
“However, you’re being patronizing and stalling for time. Do you really think that you can stop learning just because you have the princess backing you up? I’ll say something that may not sound nice to Your Highness.
“The princess is young and can mess around. She also has the favor of the noble consort and His Majesty, but you don’t. If you just listen to the princess and mess around, then...”
“Enough!” Gu Ziliang suddenly flew into a rage.
Master Tao, who had never seen the tenth prince angry before, was so frightened that he was stunned.
Gu Ziliang’s ice-blue eyes were filled with seething anger.
It was like there were unbalanced waves rising from the deep sea!
The waves were enough to devour all the insignificant people in the world.
