After the dust had settled, the situation in the classroom was that He Yunxiao and Li Jin sat in the first row. Meng Yan, Huang Buren, and other dudes sat in the second row, and so on.
In fact, Fan Ziruos classroom was not only filled with a bunch of good-for-nothing fellas, but also half of the serious students.
Like Li Jin, they had all come for Fan Ziruo.
After all, she was the most talented girl in Yinjing, and at such a young age, her level was comparable to that of a great scholar.
If it were not for the fact that women were not allowed to enter imperial examinations, it would be easy for her to become a prime minister with her ability. The reason why she only could reach the rank of prime minister was that it was impossible to go further up the ladder by relying on hard work and the gift of learning.
It was not necessarily impossible.
If her father, Fan Changshu, was willing to work harder and become a Marquis or a duke, Fan Ziruo might even be able to become an empress. Her demure, knowledge and beautiful image, combined with her quiet, generous, intelligent and not jealous personality, would make her most suitable to rule the palace.
In addition, the current Meng clan most needed Fan Changshu, the military banner, to help them regain power.
Therefore, the probability of Fan Ziruo becoming the Empress is almost infinite, basically a nail in the coffin.
Fan is 19 years old and His Majesty is 11, only eight years older. It is still very fitting.
Of course, this is all speculation in the absence of He Yunxiao.
If one day in the future Fan Ziruo were to say to He Yunxiao, I want to be Empress, then He Yunxiaos reply would inevitably be, May I ask, my Lady, when would it be more appropriate for me to rebel?
It was not yet time for that, and now He Yunxiao did not dare to be mischievous in the slightest, but was a good student who was motivated and loved to learn, under Teacher Fan.
It wasnt that he didnt want to regain all of his energy. It was because the other half of his energy was thinking about how to bring his mobile phone into school without getting caught.
He Yunxiao, who was sitting in the first row, waited attentively for Teacher Fan to tie the hair strewn in front of her behind her ears with her slender hands before raising her hand at the right time and saying, I have a question about this piece Zheng Feng Out of its Eastern Gate that Teacher Fan has just taught.
Zheng Feng Out of its Eastern Gate is a poem in the Book of Songs that praises the pure love of men and women.
Its meaning is: I went out and saw beautiful women, and although they were numerous, I only liked you, who is simple.
It is not often that Fan Ziruo meets a student who takes the initiative to offer his or her disbelief.
So she was quite interested in this behavior of He Yunxiao.
She was sitting upright, so she put down the book she was holding in her hands and placed her two slender hands folded up on her lap. Turning sideways, she looked at He Yunxiao and said, Go ahead.
He Yunxiao spoke very seriously and said something extremely immodest.
He began, The author of this poem says, Although I admire the beauty of women, I only like you who is dressed in plain clothes.
Fan Ziruo said, Hmm.
He Yunxiao continued, Isnt that a scumbag?
The unfamiliar vocabulary made Fan Ziruo freeze for a moment.
Whats a `scumbag?
He Yunxiao danced around and explained, A scumbag is a lecherous man, and the kind of scumbag who likes to play around with women and abandon them!
Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao with a puzzled gaze. It seemed that this was a suitable word for He Yunxiao, the Yinjings most vicious man.
He Yunxiao hastened to prove his innocence, Teacher, dont look at me like that! Im not a scumbag, Im just good at appreciating the beauty of the humans.
Not wishing to dwell on this, Fan Ziruo explained. The poem Zheng Feng Out of its Eastern Gate has been judged by scholars and critics since ancient times as a poem that praising loyal love.
He Yunxiao persisted, I just want to ask, what does teacher think of this poem?
Fan Ziruo frowned and said, My opinion is the same as that of all the previous poetry critics.
As the words came out, He Yunxiao revealed a devious smile.
Previously, he had made a plan to be a good student who loved learning and was diligent and ambitious in front of Fan Ziruo. This was correct.
This plan, however, had a fatal flaw.
That was that while it could close the distance between the two with great speed, it would also limit them to death.
The Qi state places the utmost importance on etiquette.
Such a thing as deceiving ones teacher and disobeying ancestor teaching was never allowed in the Qi state, and once done, it would be reviled by all the people.
Therefore, although being a student could quickly bring them closer together, once he was confirmed as a student, He Yunxiao would never have chance to be more then a student again.
How can you not Deceive your teacher?
It is only when you do not Deceive your teacher that you are really Deceiveing your teacher.
Chu Xiaoxiaos Knife doesnt care who you are. As long as the female character has a high favourablity level towards Chu Fan, all of them will not escape her assassination list.
Otherwise, why is the book Girl, You Just Want to Cultivate a single female protagonist?
Think carefully.
He Yunxiao must not see death and must, immediately, at once, bring down Fan Ziruos favorability level towards Chu Fan.
To put it in human terms: In order to close the distance and swipe the favorability level, I can have Fan Ziruo as my teacher, but only a little.
The short version: I have to teach teacher Ziruo something in my area of expertise.
Final version: Fan Ziruo sister, Master is here to teach you about love!
If you were to ask He Yunxiao what area he could be a teacher of Fan Ziruo, by count, it would be the one of falling in love.
After all, Fan Ziruo is a blank sheet of paper in this area, while He Yunxiao is a printing press.
After Fan Ziruo frowned and said, My opinion is the same as all the previous poetry critics. After that, He Yunxiao smiled.
He said confidently and courteously, May I ask you, sir, since you say this is a poem praising love, then I suppose that you have experienced love?
Fan Ziruo froze for a moment.
She didnt even leave her home often, so how could she have experienced any love?
I havent experienced it.
He Yunxiao laughed, Without investigation, you have no right to speak. How can you describe how love is since you have not experienced it? You can quote the words of the poetry critics, but it is best not to express your own opinion without experience. Otherwise, if someone deliberately targets you in the future, you will end up with a lot of remarks.
Listening to He Yunxiaos words, Fan Ziruo, this time, did not rush to speak, but was silent for a long time.
Li Jin poked his tablemate He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao, whats wrong with her? Why isnt she talking?
He Yunxiao didnt know how to explain to Li Jin.
To explain love to Li Jin, it would be easier to teach an ape programming. The latter still had a better chance of success.
He Yunxiao remembered the events at the Spring Breeze Mansion, so he simply fooled Li Jin and said, She has swooned over the poem.
When Li Jin heard that, he was delighted: another one? The most talented girl in Yinjing is just like that. She is still a bit inferior to me. Li Jin. I have to write this down and tell his cousin.
Li Jin hurriedly wrote it down with his pen, but halfway through writing it down, he suddenly remembered: This He Yunxiao didnt recite a poem either, did he? Then how?
Compared to Li Jins doubts, the students were more surprised.
We all knew the standard of Fan Ziruo.
She was a person who could be called a peer even in front of the oldest old scholars.
At a young age, she had already read the works of various authors, and had published works in the fields of criticism, elaboration, and exposition. She has also written poems, songs and essays on various subjects. She has written works on all kinds of subjects.
Now she was actually asked by He Yunxiao?
Could it be that.. Daming Lake really has something?
Then, an even more unbelievable scene emerged.
Only to see this, Yinjings number one talent, a wondrous woman with impeccable looks and figure, slowly stood up from behind the lecture table and gave a students bow to He-Yunxiao.
The sage said teacher must only speak fact. Young master Hes phrase without investigation, there is no right to speak has helped Fan Ziruo greatly, thank you very much, young master. Your Excellency should be my teacher from this moment on.
Meng Yan, the Prince of Qi, had his mouth half-open at the moment, unable to utter a single word.
Li Jin, on the other hand, kept his head down and not paying attention to the follow-up. Instead, he intended to make up a poem of his own to put in the transcript. To say that Fan Ziruo was swooning over the poem without a poem. It looked like he was lying. But how could he lie to his cousin?
Yang Zhes clan brother, Yang Dong, was full of question marks.
There was only one thing on his mind: who am I, where am I, whats going on here?
