After receiving Sima Qing's imperial edict, Nalan Duan's brows frowned in worry. He was already seventy-seven years old and his eyes were so blurred that he couldn't see the book clearly. But how could he be a gentleman for the legendary prince like a demon king?! Isn't this the emperor? Isn't this a embarrassing person...

Sima Yu's reputation has never been good, and it is well known in Mo Country. According to people who have served as his husband, the Crown Prince, in the year he was in office, had compiled more than 130 reasons for truancy without repetition, and copied it out with paper, and could circle the room in the school three times. Apart from taking leave, the remaining seventy or eighty days, half of the days he went to school, and he slept in class, and talked nonsense, and made embarrassing the teacher, and his other half. The teacher had never seen him hand over the homework assigned by him at all!

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey. Dad, please accept it. Jieshi, Your Highness is really willing to come. I'll deal with him, that's it."

Seeing Nalan Duan sighing, Nalan Xue couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand, poured him a cup of tea, and gave it to her. "In the past, there was a gentleman who forced him all day long, and he had to think of a way to skip school. Now, no one is forced, and he still has to stop chanting his homework for a day? What are you worried about?"

The last time's "life-saving grace" made Nalan Xue have a bad impression of the playboy prince in the legend. In her opinion, a person who is willing to sacrifice himself to save others cannot be considered too bad. His previous gentleman's evil deeds were very likely to have ruined his reputation because he did not have the ability to teach him and was afraid of the emperor's reproach, so he compiled it up.

Not to mention the other person, just for his last "life-saving grace", Nalan Xue also wanted to give Sima Yu a try. She didn't like to owe others favors, especially the royal family favors.

"What Dad is worried about is not that he can't teach the prince, girl, what Dad is worried about is that the emperor has already made plans to pass the throne to this playboy!"

Nalan Duan sighed, took a sip of tea in the cup, put the cup on the small table beside him, raised his head, and looked at the sky with only a few thin clouds floating, "Dad told you that the character of a king of a country will greatly affect the future of a country. If he is a wise king, it is difficult for this country to not be prosperous. If he is a fool, then it is not easy for this country to not be destroyed... Dad has been the gentleman of two generations of emperors. Now, the emperor wants to let his father be the playboy prince tutor again. This is what you mean... don't you understand?"

"My daughter also promised her father that she would not let him ruin the country by ridiculously, okay?"

The current Mo Kingdom can be said to be the result of Nalan Duan's business for most of his life. Although the reforms and ingenious diplomatic relations that Nalan Xue took over the prime minister after taking over the prime minister were the foundation for making Mo Kingdom a strong country, the years of hard work that Nalan Duan had put in before was the premise of implementing these. "The emperor has decided to pass the throne to the crown prince. Whether his father teaches the crown prince or not will not change the emperor's decision. Instead of letting the crown prince go so laissez-like and not making any progress at all, it is better to try it hard to see if he can make him better. At least, even if he cannot become a wise monarch, he should not become a foolish monarch. How about it?"

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Nalan Duan Wan didn't expect that the day after the imperial edict was issued, Sima Yu really came to the prime minister's mansion and became a disciple of him!

The weather was still good this day. Just after the time for the court, Nalan Xue had not arrived home, Sima Yu brought a large group of eunuchs, and took more than a dozen gifts in small bags, and arrived at the door of Nalan Mansion.

Because before, Nalan Duan did not expect that Sima Yu would come to become a disciple so consciously, so he did not tell the housekeeper in advance that Sima Yu would come to become a disciple. In his opinion, at least it would take another month. The emperor could not wait, so he personally brought Sima Yu to deliver it and forced Sima Yu to become his disciple. This matter could only be accomplished. Therefore, Sima Yu suddenly brought people to the door of Sima Prime Minister's Mansion, but was shocked by the butler who happened to walk to the door.

"I don't know... what happened to the Crown Prince?"

Seeing that the famous playboy prince in the country suddenly appeared at his doorstep, carrying things in big bags, the housekeeper was a little confused. After all, he was also the prince, and he reached out and didn't even beat the smiley person. He brought gifts like this. According to the truth, he should have welcomed the mansion politely. But... Who knows Sima Yu's infamy? Looking at the entire Mo Kingdom, how many people dare to accept the things he gave? Last time, the little prime minister was sick. He came to visit and brought some snacks. The little prime minister didn't ask someone to try the poison first, so he picked it up and ate it, but it scared him!

"I am here to become a disciple. I am bothering Mr. Lao Nalan to go in and report to the old prime minister. If you meet the old prime minister, don't disturb me. I will wait here for a while, and that's all."

Sima Yu knew how bad his reputation was. When he saw the housekeeper of Nalan's mansion, he saw him as if he had seen a ghost, he was not annoyed. He just smiled and nodded at him, then stood quietly, signaling the eunuch to send the gifts, "This is some of the gifts that Gu had prepared, mostly for the meals in the palace. You must trouble Housekeeper Nalan to bring them in first for the old prime minister, so don't be badly sunk by the sun."

"Uh, yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince wait, the young man will go in and report it to the old prime minister!"

After Sima Yu said this, the housekeeper of Nalan's mansion came back to the gods. He hurriedly ordered the servants to pick up the box handed over by the eunuch. After bowing to Sima Yu, he turned around and ran to the inner courtyard of the prime minister's mansion, and reported to Nalan Duantong.

Nalan Xue had morning court and was summoned by Sima Qing to discuss the upcoming Four-Nation Conference for a while. When he returned home, he happened to meet Sima Yu who was waiting for the butler to report to the door.

"Your Highness, why are you standing outside the mansion and not going in?"

Seeing Sima Yu standing outside the mansion, Nalan Xue guessed his purpose, but no matter how much he guessed, he still had to pretend to be stupid when he should be stupid.

"I'm waiting for the butler to come in and tell the old Prime Minister Nalan that Xue... the student must wait for the teacher to agree before he can enter, right? Shu'er?"

Seeing Nalan Xue coming out of the sedan chair, walking to him, and greeting him, Sima Yu was instinctively nervous. This nervousness almost called out Nalan Xue's name. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and changed his words temporarily and did not take it seriously. However, this time, he scared him into a cold sweat on his back. It was true, "Are you... huh, just come back from the court?"

"I told His Majesty about the Four Kingdoms Conference and I'm late to come back."

When Nalan Xue was stunned when she heard Sima Yu call him "Shu'er", then she came back to Shen'er, smiled awkwardly, made a "please" gesture, and called him into the door, "How can the Prince's Prince be standing and waiting at the door of the mansion like this? At this time, Dad should have not yet gotten up. Let's go to the front hall to sit first."

There was no intersection between Nalanxue and Sima Yu. One was a genius prime minister who had been extremely intelligent since childhood, and the other was a disobedient and disgusting playboy prince. If it weren't for the last time, Nalanxue was too tired and fainted and almost fell off the steps and died. Sima Yu tried to save her in danger. Now, when they met, they wouldn't even say a word.

Things in the world are unpredictable, and the past is difficult to advise, and the future is unknown. This is probably the case.

He brought Sima Yu into the door and sat down in the front hall. Nalan Xue sent someone to inform Nalan Duan that he had invited Sima Yu into the prime minister's mansion and placed it in the front hall so that he would not go to the door to greet him in a hurry, and he was stumbled and injured his hands and feet.

"What kind of tea is this? Why is it so delicious, Shu'er?"

After tasting the newly brought tea from the servant, Sima Yu's eyes lit up. He was the emperor's favorite son. Since childhood, he had eaten and used food and use, but this tea... he dared to guarantee that he would definitely be more than ten times better than what he usually drank!

"It is Biluochun, the crown prince, given by His Majesty."

Sima Yu's reaction did not exceed Nalan Xue's expectations. Not only Sima Yu, but also Nalan Duan, her father, the old prime minister of Mo Guo who had seen countless worlds, was also surprised when he tasted this tea for the first time.

"Biluochun, given by my father, is so delicious that I can drink this tea in the same way, why isn't it so delicious?"

Nalan Xue said that this tea is the same as the tea I drink in my usual manner. Sima Yu not only frowned, but carefully held the cup and observed the tea soup inside carefully. "This tea soup is more mellow and darker than I usually drink. Although the tea fragrance is lighter, it is extremely wonderful. Is this... because the tea cooking person has good skills?"

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has heard such a saying. If the tea book is just a blind eye, it will naturally be natural."

Nalan Xue smiled and shook her head, and decided to take this opportunity to click Sima Yu to let him understand the importance of diligence. "Give an inappropriate example to your prince. If you say something inappropriately, don't be angry, okay?"

"Yeah, you say, Shu'er."

At this time, Sima Yu agreed without thinking. Well, as long as he could hear Nalan Xue staying together, talking and drinking tea with her so close to her, nothing mattered, "I'm listening."

Seeing that Sima Yu was staring at him, Nalan Xue thought he was really interested, so she continued to preach to him, "At the time of the First Emperor, there were 37 princes of all sizes. Now His Majesty is neither the eldest son nor the queen of the First Emperor. In the end, he ascended the throne as emperor. What is the reason for the Crown Prince?"

"With the help of the old prime minister."

Sima Yu was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have the ability to make his former husbands ill and he would have no choice but to do anything to him. He didn't know what Nalan Xue wanted to tell him, but complimenting Nalan Duan would never make Nalan Xue unhappy.

"Dad is the will of the late emperor to be a teacher for Your Majesty, and it is to train Your Majesty to become a person who can serve as a great throne."

Nalan Xue smiled and shook her head, and said neither to Sima Yu's answer, nor to say that it was right. "Shu asked the Crown Prince why the late emperor chose His Majesty, not other princes."

"This...probably because my father is better than other princes..."

Sima Yu thought about it carefully again, but couldn't think of any other reason, so he told him that he was not sure about it.

"That's right, Your Majesty is good enough, so he was chosen by the predecessor and became the successor."

Nalan Xue was very satisfied with this, so she got up, came to him, and personally added a cup of tea soup for him, "All princes are excellent tea, but to be a good king, it is far from enough to be a good tea. Good tea needs good water to brew. Without good water, no matter how good tea is, it is just a blind spot and cannot become good tea. Does Your Highness know what the water mentioned in the story is?"

"Learn!"

Finally understood what Nalan Xue meant, Sima Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and hurriedly said loudly, "Are you right? Are I right? Shu'er?"

"Yes, it's knowledge."

Nalan Xue sighed in her heart, "The boy is teaching, but his face is silent, pretending to be casual, "Sir is a container, pass on his knowledge to students. Only when students have knowledge can they do something. Therefore, as a student, you should be grateful and respectful to your own gentleman. Your Highness, do you think the statement is correct?"

"Shu's words are very true. From now on, I will definitely respect Mr. Xu."

Knowing that Nalan Xue was guiding her, she was afraid that she would be like she was like before and disrespect her husband, which made the old Prime Minister Nalan angry, so she quickly agreed, "Shu'er, can you call Gu's name in the future? You always call Gu's prince like this, and the prince's prince, let others hear that, and they should think that Gu is arrogant and deliberately makes things difficult for you, the important minister of Mo State..."
