A young man walked in from outside. He looked to be in his early twenties and wore a green robe. His facial features were upright, but his figure was slightly scholarly. He looked like a magnanimous gentleman. He walked in and praised, "You're right. There's dignity in the heart of love, and it's not meant to be a mockery. Even though Guang Wen Tang teaches homework, one's morals need to be trained diligently. "
All the students fell silent.
Shen Miao stared at the youth.
Pei Lang, Guang Wen Tang's Calligraphy Teacher, had both ability and integrity and was the only scholar in Guang Wen Tang who was able to enter the hall to teach even though he was only a scholar. Elementary Scholar Pei was gentle and patient. Compared to the other strict teachers, he deserved more respect from the students. Even for someone like Shen Miao who would often drop to the end of the book, Pei Xiu Cai had never scolded her and would patiently explain it over and over again.
If that was the case, this person was indeed a good teacher. His character and talent were one in a million but unfortunately, Shen Miao knew of his other identity.
He was the advisor that Fu Xiu Yi relied on the most. After Fu Xiu Yi ascended to the throne, he conferred him the title of State Tutor. State Preceptor Pei Lang was flushed with success. He was only below one person and above tens of thousands.
As the Imperial Preceptor, he had indeed done a good job. Shen Miao thought that Pei Lang was an intelligent and upright person but at the end when the Crown Prince was deposed, he did not say anything.
Shen Miao and Pei Lang's personal relationship was considered not bad. Initially the suggestion of Shen Miao going to the Qin country as a hostage was raised by Pei Lang. Pei Lang said, "This is all for the sake of Ming Qi's rivers and mountains. If Your Ladyship's trip is able to solve His Majesty's urgent needs, in the future the rivers and mountains will be covered by Your Ladyship's good fortune and everyone in the world will be grateful to Your Ladyship's kindness.
But in fact, when she returned to the Palace five years later, there was an addition of Mei Furen in the Inner Palace, and these subordinates of Pei Lang who used to respect her started to be on guard against her.
When the Crown Prince was deposed, Shen Miao even knelt down and begged Pei Lang because Pei Lang was Fu Xiu Yi's trusted aide. As long as Pei Lang opened his mouth, Fu Xiu Yi would definitely listen to his opinion. However, Pei Lang helped her up and said to her, "Your Highness, this subject is powerless to change what His Majesty has decided."
"Pei Lang! Are you going to watch as the Crown Prince is deposed? You clearly know that you can't depose the Crown Prince! "She was extremely angry as she questioned him.
"This is already inevitable. Empress, accept your fate." Pei Lang sighed.
Accept your fate.
How could people resign themselves to fate? If he were to be reborn and still have to accept his fate, wouldn't that be too lamentable and hateful?
Shen Miao stared at the youth in front of her. He was open and aboveboard, he did not help when someone was in danger, he had a gentle temperament, and he was also cold and ruthless. As a subject, everything was for the sake of the empire. Pei Lang was a loyal subject. But … As long as he stood on Fu Xiu Yi's side, he was destined to fight with her till death!
At this time, Fu Xiu Yi should not have subdued Pei Xiu Cai yet, so should he cut off the possibility of pulling Pei Xiu Cai to his side? It was better to be straightforward … Kill him in the cradle first.
Pei Xiu Cai put down the scroll in his hands and was acutely aware that there was a pair of eyes staring at him. He raised his head and met Shen Miao's gaze.
Shen Miao's seat was slightly further back, but even so, she still stubbornly and properly looked at him. This kind of feeling was somewhat strange. Pei Xiu Cai felt that this gaze contained a kind of scrutiny and judgment, as if weighing the pros and cons and judging something. Extending a little further, it was a kind of looking down with a kind of fastidious attitude.
His actions paused as he wanted to see clearly what Shen Miao's expression was, but he saw the young female pick up the brush on the table and lower her head. Pei Lang smiled in his heart and shook his head. How could a young lady have that kind of condescending expression? As for judging and scrutinizing, that was even more impossible. Shen Miao was the most stupid and timid person in the entire Guang Wen Tang.
