In Luoyang, there was a simple mansion. This was the residence of Wei Yuan, the lecturer of the Eastern Palace's Spring Examinations and the Grand Preceptor of the Crown Prince. At this moment, a young man around the age of 15 was sitting on a chair in the lobby in a daze. The young man's face was pale, and there were still bruises on his face that had not disappeared. It seemed that he had just suffered physical pain.
Not long after, Old Man Wei walked into the hall in a white robe. The young man quickly stood up and bowed." Student Chen Dingyuan pays his respects to Teacher!"
Old Man Wei stepped forward and helped the young man up. He looked at the wounds on the young man's face and sighed,"Ding Yuan, there's no need to be so polite when we meet as master and disciple. You've suffered for the past few days!"
This young man was Elder Wei's disciple. Wei Yuan was the teacher of the Federation's current emperor, and now he was the crown prince's teacher! As such, he was highly respected by the scholars of the world. There were countless scholars who wanted to become his disciples, but Old Man Wei did not easily accept disciples. Up until now, there were very few people who could become his disciples, and this young man in front of him was one of them.
However, Chen Dingyuan, who should have had a bright future ahead of him, had suffered many hardships. His straightforward personality was not well received in the current Federation officialdom, and he was repeatedly ostracized! After that, he offended the aristocratic families in some private matters, causing his entire family to be framed and imprisoned. If it wasn't for the fact that he was Wei Yuan's disciple and the other party didn't dare to kill him, Chen Dingyuan would have been killed when he was imprisoned!
Chen Dingyuan, who had just been imprisoned, looked dispirited. He smiled bitterly and said,"Teacher, not only are you my teacher, but you are also my savior! If it wasn't for Teacher's help, this student would have died in prison. Now, this student should be taken in to pay his respects.”
Hearing the sorrow in Chen Dingyuan's tone, Old Man Wei comforted him,""Ding Yuan, we are master and disciple, there is no need to be so formal. Sigh! However, he didn't expect the Lu family of Fan Yang to be so vengeful. A thousand-year-old family didn't even have this much tolerance. It was simply an insult to the name of their ancestors!”
When he thought of the culprit who had caused his entire family to be in trouble, Chen Dingyuan was furious and blamed himself for his recklessness. If he hadn't offended the Lu family, his parents wouldn't have been implicated and imprisoned by him at such an old age.
"Teacher, there's no need to say anything. This is all my fault for being rash. It's been so many years, but I still can't control my temper. This time, not only did he suffer, but he also implicated his parents. He even disgraced his teacher's name!”
Elder Wei naturally knew his student's temper, but when he thought of the Lu family's actions this time, he said angrily,"Humph! Can't I tell who's right and who's wrong? This matter was clearly the Lu family bullying others and snatching away what they loved. Ding Yuan, what wrong did you do? Don't worry, I will do my best to help your mother. You can settle down and recuperate first. After a while, you will work with me in the Eastern Palace.”
" Thank you, teacher!" Chen Dingyuan bowed to Elder Wei again. However, he hesitated for a moment before saying,"Teacher, please forgive me for not listening to you this time. After his parents were released from prison, the student did not want to continue mingling in the officialdom. He only wanted to find a peaceful place to live the rest of his life!”
Old Man Wei was a little surprised. He looked at Chen Dingyuan and said unhappily,""Ding Yuan, what are you talking about? The Federation is in a troubled time now. We scholars should help the country. How can we only care about ourselves?”
"Teacher, I used to think so too," said Chen Dingyuan bitterly. However, after this incident, the students finally understood that the Federation was now in a state of deep decline. It was difficult to save the building from collapse with just one person's strength!”
"Bastard, do you know what you're talking about?”The old man was furious. He stared at Chen Dingyuan in disappointment and said bitterly,""Traitor, traitor! Giving up after a small setback, have you forgotten what I taught you? In the history of the Federation, countless life-and-death crises have occurred. Every time, it was only through the concerted efforts of all the people with lofty ideals that they were able to resolve the deadly situation. However, you were only hit by a slight blow before you were unable to recover!”
Chen Dingyuan also felt that he had failed his teacher's teachings and did not dare to look into the old man's eyes. "Then, Teacher, can't you see the current situation in the Federation? The eunuchs were domineering and domineering in the court, and the emperor's decrees did not go out of Luoyang. The local aristocratic families were even more domineering. This time, the student suffered such an injustice, and no court could handle it impartially. In such a situation, may I ask what teacher should do?”After saying that, Chen Dingyuan looked into the old man's eyes in fear, as if he was trying to find an answer.
Wei Yuan looked at his student and sighed,""That's why we need someone to stand up! If we don't care about them, or even join them, then the Federation will truly be doomed.”Wei Yuan smiled and said,""Moreover, the current situation is not the worst. The emperor has already started preparations many years ago. As people with lofty aspirations, we should serve His Majesty at any time!”
When Chen Dingyuan heard the old man's words, he was pleasantly surprised.""His Majesty hasn't given up either. Teacher, have you been in contact with His Majesty?”" That's right." Wei Yuan stroked his beard and smiled." The moment His Majesty ascended the throne, he began to prepare. I have been secretly selecting trustworthy people for His Majesty." At that time, you were still young and inexperienced, so I didn't tell you. But now-"
As he spoke, the old man clapped his hands. At this moment, a servant responded and walked over from the back hall with a wooden box. Wei Yuan took the box from the servant and handed it to Chen Dingyuan, saying,""Dingyuan! His Majesty's plan concerns the rise and fall of the entire Federation. If you take a wrong step, you will be crushed into pieces. I won't force you now. You can decide what you want to choose!”
Feeling Master Wei's hopeful gaze, he recalled his past beliefs and once again strengthened his resolve. He looked at the old man with a burning gaze, extended his hands, and bowed."Teacher, I want to witness it with my own eyes and participate in it. I'm willing to do my part to revitalize the Federation!”
Wei Yuan looked at Chen Dingyuan with a gratified expression. He placed the wooden box in Chen Dingyuan's hand and said with satisfaction,""Since that's the case, open it and see if it fits?”Chen Dingyuan opened the wooden box and saw a red official robe neatly stacked in the box. On it was a black official plate engraved with the words " Crown Prince's Scheeren ".
In the Eastern Palace, in the Crown Prince's bedroom, Celine was wearing a light purple palace dress. She kept comparing herself in front of the mirror. She didn't know what Mingyu told her mother, but when she went to the Jiaofang Palace for dinner yesterday, her mother looked at her with a half-smile that made Liu Yu feel extremely awkward. He felt like a boy who had entered puberty and his mother had accidentally found a little yellow book hidden under his bed.
However, no matter what, he had finally solved a troublesome problem. Seeing Mingyu put a few headwear on Celine's green hair, an ancient lady in palace clothes suddenly seemed to have jumped out of the painting and appeared in front of everyone. At this moment, even Mingyu, who was a woman, was full of praise."Ya! Miss Liu looked even more beautiful in this dress than yesterday.”
Celine looked at herself in the mirror. The woman in the mirror had almond-shaped eyes, bright eyes, beautiful eyes, red lips, white teeth, and green eyebrows. It was no wonder that Mingyu, who was equally beautiful, admired her so much. Looking at herself in satisfaction, Celine turned to Liu Yu and asked,"Your Highness, what do you think?”Liu Yu, who was reading a book, said perfunctorily,"Oh, not bad, not bad, very beautiful!”Celine was very dissatisfied with Liu Yu's obvious perfunctory attitude. She ran to Liu Yu in small steps and snatched the book from her. She said unhappily,"Hey! Brat, what kind of attitude is this? Didn't you hear the beauty asking you something?”
Seeing Celine being so rude to the Crown Prince, Mingyu quickly came up to stop her."Miss Liu, you were extremely rude just now. Although you were born in a foreign land and don't know the etiquette of the Federation, it would be bad if others saw you.”Liu Yu also laughed and said,"Yes, just like Sister Mingyu said, you are now my personal maid!" One had to know that there was a difference in seniority. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful one dressed, they would only be a person who did not know etiquette!”
"Hmph, you said so much just to make me listen to you, right? Little brat." Celine said disdainfully.
"That's it. If you dare to do what you did the day before yesterday again, I will punish you for disrespect!”Recalling the humiliating scene that night, Liu Yu could not help but threaten him fiercely.
Looking at the embarrassed and angry Liu Yu, Celine smiled and teased,"Your Highness is still angry about what happened that night! Why don't I let you hit me again now?”
"You." Liu Yu looked speechlessly at Celine, who was smiling like a fox."Alright, just you wait. One day, I will let you know how powerful I am!”
Ling Yu, who was standing at the side, stared blankly at the two people who were talking in riddles and asked in puzzlement,"Fight what? Your Highness, if Miss Liu has offended you in any way, then Mingyu is willing to take the blame on her behalf.”
Liu Yu coughed.
Celine looked at the embarrassed Liu Yu in amusement and laughed mischievously."Alright, then both sister and sister will be punished by His Highness!”
" Cough cough…" Liu Yu coughed even louder. But this was a tempting suggestion!
