Chapter 338 A clear conscience
The next day, grandson Li Lingyun was taken to Kunning Palace.

"Ling Yun pays homage to Grandma Huang!"

The young and mature Li Lingyun knelt down and saluted the Queen in a polite manner, which made the Queen feel pity for him.

"Ling Yun, get up quickly and let Grandma Huang take a look!"

Then, the queen took Li Lingyun's hand and looked up and down.

"Hey, why have you lost weight?"

Li Lingyun held the queen's hand back and said sweetly.

"Grandma Huang, Ling Yun has grown taller, but he has lost weight!"

The Queen and Li Lingyun walked towards the Royal Garden hand in hand.

"Ling Yun, how are your recent homework?"

"Back to Grandma Huang, Master has been praising his grandson recently!"

Li Lingyun was full of pride when he mentioned this.

"My grandson's academic performance has been improving rapidly recently. Master said that my grandson is a great talent!"

The Queen agreed with a smile, "This Master is quite a talent!"

Li Lingyun didn't realize that the queen just said it casually, he excitedly took the queen's hand and said.

"Does Grandma Huang also think that the Master is talented?"

"My grandson feels the same way. He knows everything from astronomy to geography. He knows everything."

"Oh? Tell me what else he knows?"

This aroused the Queen's interest.

She only knew that a few days ago a teacher was selected with great fanfare for the emperor's grandson, but she did not expect that Li Lingyun was so satisfied.

"Master knows a lot. He actually knows that adding some nectar to the hare when roasting will make the meat more delicious."

Li Lingyun was still talking to himself, not noticing that the queen's expression had changed.

The grandma on the side saw this scene and quickly took over.

"I didn't expect that Master has such a talent. He must be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics!"

"That's natural!"

Li Lingyun continued: "There are many books in the master's home, most of which my grandson cannot find."

Hearing this, the queen's face became even more ugly.

"Oh? Listening to what Ling Yun said, Grandma Huang really wants to see who you are, a master who knows everything about the world!"

Then, she changed the topic.

At noon, the queen took Li Lingyun to Qianqing Palace.

Li Guoli beamed when he saw Li Lingyun.

"What has Ling Yun been busy with recently? Why don't you come to the palace to visit Grandpa Huang?"

Li Lingyun smiled shyly, "The teacher has been tight lately, so my grandson has no time."

"But the teacher praised my grandson's homework, so he dared to come to see Grandpa Huang."

Li Guoli's smile deepened after a few amusing sentences, and the queen looked on with satisfaction.

"It seems that Ling Yun is really working hard."

The Queen was afraid that Li Guoli would ask about Teacher Li Lingyun, so she changed the subject.

Returning to Kunning Palace in the evening, the queen was a little angry.

"What's the name of Ling Yun's teacher?"

Seeing the queen's worried expression, the nanny answered cautiously.

"Liu Zhonghuan!"

"Liu Zhonghuan? Go check this person's background. What kind of teacher can the Ai family teach their grandson to barbecue?"

"What kind of teacher can have a collection of books that the royal descendants don't have!"

Mammy took the order and went out. After thinking about it, the queen still felt uneasy.

"The Ai family will meet this person in person tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, the queen came to Zhongyongyuan.

The dean led all the concubines to pay homage to the queen.

The queen slowly fiddled with the emerald green ring on her hand and spoke calmly.

"Where is Liu Zhonghuan?"

I saw a man in a blue robe walking out of the crowd. He lifted up the corners of his robe and saluted the queen in a calm and humble manner.

"The common man Liu Zhonghuan pays homage to the Queen. The Queen is a thousand years old!"

Liu Zhonghuan's elegant demeanor and the gentle breeze and bright moon made the queen instantly feel good about him.

But thinking about Liu Zhonghuan's past, she still frowned. "Are you Liu Zhonghuan?"

"Back to the queen, you are the common people!"

Liu Zhonghuan knelt on the ground, his back straight, standing like a green pine.

"Do you want to have a barbecue with your grandson?"

"Does your family have a collection of books that the royal family doesn't have?"

The question in his tone made everyone present tremble and dare not speak out.

Liu Zhonghuan spoke calmly.

"Back to the Queen, that's right."

"The reason for Caomin Pope Sun's barbecue is to let him understand that food is the most important thing for the people."

"His future responsibility is to keep the people fed."

"As long as you have a full stomach, everything is possible."

"As for the collection of books, please forgive the common people for speaking so loudly."

"Caomin families have been scholars for generations, so they naturally have a rich collection of books."

Seeing the queen's expression become gloomy, Liu Zhonghuan continued.

"Youdao means a profession and a specialization. The collection of books in Cao Min's family is like the royal family's love for the people."

"There's no comparison."

"The purpose of the common people is to let the emperor and his grandson know that traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading ten thousand books."

"The emperor's grandson's responsibilities are destined to prevent him from traveling thousands of miles, so he should read thousands of books!"

"So, you are thinking of the emperor and grandson wholeheartedly?"

The queen asked Liu Zhonghuan to stand up, and everyone wiped their sweat quietly.

"You call yourself a grassroots citizen now? Why don't you have an official position yet?"

Liu Zhonghuan said respectfully: "Back to the Queen, those official positions are just in name only, and ordinary people don't care about them."

He didn't care, but the queen naturally did.

Thinking that the imperial concubine's father was the emperor's master, the queen understood the connection.

That person must have been causing trouble.

Yesterday, I learned about Liu Zhonghuan's past from the information. The Queen was extremely reluctant to let him serve as Grand Master again.

But when I met him today, I found that this person was not as bad as the information said.

This is why he can stand out from thousands of people.

He has unique insights into problems.

Now if he wants Li Lingyun to get ahead, he must find another way.

This Liu Zhonghuan is the key figure.

"From now on, you need to teach your grandson well, and it will benefit you in the future!"

Liu Zhonghuan still had an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, "The common people should do their best to assist His Highness the Grand Sun!"

After the queen left, Liu Zhonghuan was called by the emperor's master.

"Zhonghuan, you are a talent, and I appreciate you very much."

Liu Zhonghuan cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Master!"

The emperor's master looked at Liu Zhonghuan's inconsolable appearance and felt angry in his heart.

"Zhonghuan, if you knew how to adapt, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

Liu Zhonghuan said loudly: "Students must have a clear conscience!"

After saying a few words, the imperial master waved his hand impatiently and drove Liu Zhonghuan out.

"Stubborn!"

Liu Zhonghuan looked up at the gloomy weather, shook his head and sighed.

Soon, the imperial edict reached Zhongyongyuan, and Liu Zhonghuan was named Taisun Taifu.

When the emperor learned the news, he lost his temper.

The masters of Zhongyongyuan congratulated Liu Zhonghuan one after another.

"Teacher Liu is really rewarded after all the hard work, and his hard work has finally won the eyes of the Queen."

Liu Zhonghuan said as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm.

"Thank you! Zhonghuan has a clear conscience!"

Seeing that Liu Zhonghuan was so "pedantic", everyone stopped thinking.

After all, Liu Zhonghuan was still Taisun's tutor. No matter how powerful the imperial master was, he had to leave a way out for himself!
