5. Lu Hailan's new teacher
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Hailan was woken up from his sleep by his eunuch and began his new day's schedule.
After washing and changing clothes, Wayne Du must have been waiting outside the door on time. Most of the breakfast places were in the study. Occasionally, Lu Hailan would choose to eat in the courtyard. During the meal, Wayne Du would report some important or unimportant things to him, such as Concubine Xia successfully gave birth to a baby boy, His Majesty the Emperor named the little prince Anguo, or Flan had a small explosion at his residence, destroying an antique vase, an oak table, and other fragmented items, or Lin Huan's troublemaker caused trouble again, and the koi in the pond suffered from disasters from the sky in vain, with heavy casualties... But on this day, Wayne Du brought a bit of surprise news.
"Haven has appointed a new teacher to Gu?" The little prince put down the spoon in his hand and looked up at Wayne Du in surprise. "Is there anything wrong with Flan's doing? Why should I replace him?"
"Your Highness, your Majesty means to add a new teacher to you, not to replace Lord Flan." Wayndu quickly explained, "After all, everyone has their own expertise, and he alone cannot teach you all aspects of knowledge."
The little prince nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Do you know, where does this new teacher come from?"
"I am about to report to you that this new teacher is named Zhu Yan. He is an old man in the palace who has served Emperor Yuwen and His Majesty today. When I was young, I met him in the palace. I only remember that he was a very kind old man. When he saw that he was wearing only a single robes to sweep the snow in the cold winter, he took off his cloak on his body and put it on his unkempt slave... After many years, the servant still cannot forget the kindness of the clothes."
Is Cihou? Lu Hailan frowned slightly and asked, "When will he come?"
"It should be here later today." Waynedu quietly looked at Lu Hailan's expression and whispered, "Do you want to see him today?"
"If you arrive, you will lead him to see Gu." Lu Hailan picked up the spoon again, scooped up a spoonful of tremite from the bowl, and said without raising his head, "If Gu is in class with Flan, then come back after class. Don't tell others about this for the time being."
Waynedu knew that this was what 'this matter was to be decided'. It seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have a good impression of the new teacher. Although he was concerned about the other party's kindness, he could not risk angering his master to speak for him. At that moment, he could only lower his head and respond softly, not daring to speak more.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Flan appeared at the entrance of the study room with a stack of textbooks on time. In less than two years, Flan's textbooks had been changed. Lu Hailan's learning progress basically jumped from elementary school to junior high school, and now he has reached the stage of high school. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince is not interested in literature and art courses, otherwise Flan would have to worry about his own level or not to follow the speed of the other party's learning.
"Have your highness heard about the victory in the north?" Flan stood at the desk and put down the textbook in his hand. Seeing Lu Hailan shook his head slightly, he took out his communicator, turned on the light screen and handed it to the other party. It is difficult to get outside news in other palaces. Communicator is basically disabled, only Flan and Wayne Du have licenses to use. Of course, if His Royal Highness is willing, he will naturally use it if he wants to... All this is to avoid deepening the psychological pressure of being trapped in Lu Hailan. After all, the more you know about external news, the more urgent he will feel to go out. However, before the leg problem is solved, it is impossible for him to go out.
The light screen shows a news report, accompanied by several interview videos. The war between the Empire and the Star-Eating Zerg has lasted for hundreds of years. From the early repeated defeats to the current reversal, humans have gained enough understanding of the strange creatures such as the Star-Eating Zerg and have found various means to deal with them in the ever-advanced science and technology. The report said that this is the worst defeat of the Star-Eating Zerg in the past decade. It is expected that they will not be able to launch such a large-scale invasion again in the next ten years, and the northern border will usher in a rare period of peace.
After reading the report, Lu Hailan returned the communicator to Flange and said, "It's a good thing."
"What I want to talk about today is the history of the empire. I happened to have this opportunity. I want to tell Your Highness you about the history of human beings exploring the universe." Fran pulled open his chair and sat down, folded his hands on the table, staring at Lu Hailan with bright eyes. "From the land era, human beings began to explore the mystery of the sky and the ocean, until they discovered that there was a vast world outside the atmosphere."
"The journey of human beings to explore the universe has never been a relaxed and pleasant comedy."

The morning class ended at twelve o'clock. Lu Hailan and Flan went to the restaurant for lunch. As soon as they walked into the restaurant, a figure rushed over like a cannonball, leaning close to Lu Hailan, smiling and calling out to the prince's brother, and then greeted Flan again. Lu Hailan pinched the other person's face, and felt a little relieved, and asked, "Did you make the teacher angry in the morning? If you make pranks on the teacher again, Gu Ke will really punish you."
Lin Huan pouted and said in a low voice, but seeing his wandering eyes, it was probably a lie. His course was too far from Lu Hailan, so Lu Hailan could only ask Wayne Du to hire him a teacher. However, this guy is not a person who loves learning. In the words Wayne Du complained privately, this is a little snob. He doesn't buy anyone except Lu Hailan, and he pleases Lu Hailan and becomes a demon king in front of Lu Hailan. At a young age, he is simply amazing.
"Brother Prince, I'm so bored in class. When will you take me to the grassland to ride a horse again?" Lin Huan didn't stop after getting on the dining table. He moved the chair to Lu Hailan, his eyes tugging at the other party's sleeve, and looked like a pleading look. Lu Hailan was pulled by him and couldn't even eat. He bounced his forehead and smiled and said, "That depends on your performance."
"What's the sign?" Lin Huan widened his eyes and grabbed Lu Hailan's arm, "Ah, can you take the exam?"
Wayne Du frowned from behind, helplessly Lu Hailan was spoiling Lin Huan so hard that he became more and more unruly. I don’t know how many taboos he made just the title of the prince brother, but since Lu Hailan agreed, what else can these servants say?
"Stop messing around, eat." Lu Hailan pointed to the plate on the table. His words were more effective for Lin Huan than the emperor's imperial edict. The latter immediately moved the chair back to his original position and picked up the dishes and chopsticks peacefully. The rules on the dining table in the palace were always unspeakable, and the meal was very quiet. After using the meal, he sent Lin Huan to lunch break. After seeing Flan off Lu Hailan looked at Wayne Du. The latter immediately understood and whispered: "The others have arrived, and I'm waiting."
"Take him to the study." Lu Hailan nodded and asked again, "Have he eaten?"
Wayne said, "After eating, please wait in the study, and the servant will go to him now."
The study room can be said to be most of Lu Hailan's living room. He basically handles all his affairs here. The books on the bookshelf are not decorations, but what he has read and has read. In the past, he had nothing to do, and could only read and spend time alone, but now under the guidance of Flan, he began to consciously choose the reading direction and seize the knowledge in the book... Lu Hailan is very grateful to Flan, the teacher, for leading him into a brand new world, letting him know his own insignificance and the vastness of this world. As the other party said, he is learning how to change the world.
So he was not very interested in the newly assigned teachers - because it meant that it would cut down the time he received teaching from the flange. But he also knew that it was impossible for him to ask the flange to stay with him in this cage, which would be too unfair to the flange.
The door was knocked, and Waynedu led a white-haired old man into the study. The new teacher was indeed old enough. Standing there seemed to be a very difficult thing. He was trembling with a cane and wanted to kneel down to Lu Hailan, but was stopped by Lu Hailan.
"No need to tribute, Gu heard that it was his father who wanted you to be Gu's teacher?"
"The little master is so proud of my slave. Thanks to the grace of Your Majesty, I have been lucky enough to send my slave to serve Your Highness in my life. How can I be your teacher? I can't afford it, but I can't afford it."
Lu Hailan frowned and glanced at Wayne Du, who was standing beside him. The latter immediately withdrew from the study tactfully and closed the door. So only Lu Hailan and the thin old man opposite were left in the study. He looked at the other party's hunched figure, pointed to the chair, and said, "Sit down."
The old man smiled when he heard this.
"I'm afraid the little master is wondering." As he spoke, he slowly walked to the chair and sat down, put his crutch on his knees, and pressed it with both hands. "What kind of virtue is the old slave? You will be sent by your majesty... To be honest, your slave entered the palace at the age of thirteen and struggled in the palace for a lifetime, only practicing two skills."
"One is to recognize people, and the other is to be a human being."
He looked at Lu Hailan's eyes without any hesitation and smiled: "It's like looking at your eyes, I know you can understand everything... You have wisdom that is far beyond this age. I think that's why Your Majesty sent me here because what you lack is not wisdom, but experience."
Lu Hailan stared at the old man, and he had to admit that in the past few short sentences, his perception of the other person had changed greatly. This old man was not simple... He frowned and thought for a moment, and said-
"So how should I learn from you? This is not a palace, and I can't go out..."
