I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Until noon, Lu Shushu locked herself in her room and showed no intention of coming out.

Zhou Biao couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, she always hides in her room. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, she can't possibly fall in love with you."

Moreover, Qin Li doesn't stay here permanently; it's a time-limited stay.

After the imperial examination, Qin Li was unable to make Lu Shushu fall in love with him.

As agreed, Lu Shushu was to enter the palace.

Let alone after the imperial examinations.

Qin Li will not stay here during the Spring Examination; instead, he will be presiding over the examination.

Therefore, Qin Li didn't have much time left.

Qin Li smiled and said, "No great skill is needed. I have a thousand ways to make a woman fall in love with me."

After saying that, Qin Li beckoned to Zhou Biao, signaling him to come closer.

Zhou Biao obediently did as he was told, and Qin Li whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Zhou Biao raised his head blankly and asked, "Your Highness, is this really going to work? It seems unreliable no matter how you look at it."

Qin Li replied, "Hurry up and get on with it! Do you really think I'm less popular with women than you, Zhou Biao? Don't be fooled by the number of concubines you have; actually, very few of them truly love you."

Although Zhou Biao disagreed, he still quickly went to do it.

……

Lu Shushu locked herself in her room for the entire morning.

Whether lying down or sitting, reading a book or playing with a jade thumb ring.

In short, she refused to believe that Qin Li and Zhou Biao could stay at her house forever.

But suddenly, a rich fragrance wafted into her nose through the cracks in the door and window.

She couldn't help but sniff it, and finally stood up.

She walked to the window and looked outside. She saw Qin Li and Zhou Biao gathered around a small, bubbling pot, doing something, and the aroma was coming from inside.

With a creak, Lu Shushu pushed open the window and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Qin Li turned around and smiled: "Food is essential for life. It's noon, time for lunch. How about we grab some together?"

Lu Shushu shook her head. Last night was an accident.

From now on, she would never eat a single thing from Qin Li, even if it meant dying.

"Fine, then we won't eat it."

Qin Li sighed and directed Zhou Biao to put things into the pot.

The sliced ​​mutton was taken out of the pot as soon as it hit the pan, dipped in the prepared sauce, and eaten. It was so delicious that my whole body trembled with pleasure.

This is a hot pot in another world.

I saw two big men sitting around a small pot, eating comfortably and sighing.

Lu Shushu couldn't help but swallow, and her stomach started growling.

However, she slammed the window shut and went back inside to wrap herself in the blankets.

I won't eat it, I won't eat it, I'll never eat it in my life!

This is Qin Li's trick; she must not fall for it.

But the feeling of hunger is unpleasant, not to mention the constant aromas wafting in from outside, making her stomach rumble with hunger.

At one point, Lu Shushu suddenly understood. She threw off the covers and muttered to herself:

"This is my home, why should I starve myself?"

"My father and grandfather are trying to save me; I can't let myself starve to death."

Having made up her mind, Lu Shushu gave a heavy "hmm," walked over, opened the door, and sat down directly next to Qin Li and Zhou Biao.

Without any hesitation, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks, scooped out the meat from the pot, and began to eat heartily.

"Didn't you say you weren't going to eat?"

Qin Li asked.

Lu Shushu mumbled incoherently, "N-It's none of your business!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, "Mmm, delicious, delicious! What kind of way is this? I've never heard of it before."

Zhou Biao slurped up the spicy food, saying as he added meat, "This is hot pot."

"Hot pot? I've only ever heard of copper pots and iron pots, never hot pot."

"Just eat your food, stop talking nonsense."

"Since you made such a delicious hot pot, I won't hold it against you."

"I didn't do this, my young master did."

"Who cares, mmm~ delicious, delicious, add more lamb."

……

The three of them ate lunch for a full hour.

Everyone ate until their bellies were round and about to burst.

"So comfortable~"

Lu Shushu lay on her back in the rattan chair, reaching out to touch her round belly, and exhaling comfortably.

This life is too comfortable.

If every day could be like this, how wonderful that would be.

"I'm telling you, neither of you are bad people, so why do you have to pick on me?"

After a while, Lu Shushu couldn't help but tilt her head and ask.

Not far away, Qin Li was lying on a rattan chair, just like her.

Zhou Biao ate the most, and simply leaned against the steps, unable to move.

Qin Li said, "Who's picking a fight with you? I wanted to become Miss Lu's apprentice, but Miss Lu doesn't think I'm a good person."

Zhou Biao nodded vigorously. If it were anyone else, they would have acted like a rogue and secretly kept Qin Li's jade thumb ring.

They had already dismembered this person into eight pieces and chopped him into mincemeat.

But not only was Lu Shushu perfectly fine, Qin Li also went out of his way to cook delicious food for her.

"You're not serious, are you?"

Lu Shushu looked at Qin Li.

Qin Li didn't look like someone who was going to take the imperial examination at all. He looked more like a young nobleman from a powerful family in Jiangnan. Moreover, the family's influence was extraordinary. Even his maternal grandfather didn't dare to do anything to Qin Li.

"The truth cannot be hidden."

Qin Li said.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Shushu said, "Are you really going to become my disciple? I am a woman."

"What's wrong with the woman? Aren't you a teacher at the Imperial Academy?"

"Yes, sir, but I don't know the exam questions this time, so I can't help you pass."

"Getting the exam questions in advance and passing the exam is no skill at all. I believe that with Miss Lu's careful guidance, I can still pass the exam even without getting the questions in advance."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shushu couldn't help but laugh, "I really don't know where you get your confidence from."

"This isn't confidence, but rather belief in Miss Lu's knowledge."

In short, Lu Shushu fell silent.

He looked at Qin Li with great curiosity and found that Qin Li was different from the others.

Although she was a teacher at the Imperial Academy, no one took her seriously.

Even her father and mother said that it was enough for her to study and understand reason.

As for governing the world and the country, that's completely unheard of.

Her maternal grandfather, Huangfu Song, believed in her learning, but often lamented that she was not a man.

Qin Li was the second person besides her maternal grandfather to have such faith in her knowledge.

Thinking of this, Lu Shushu said, "Since you have so much faith in my knowledge, why not teach you? If you can pass the imperial examination in the future, just remember the kindness of your teacher."

"So, Miss Lu has agreed to be my teacher?"

"Still calling me Miss Lu?"

Lu Shushu emphasized her words in a pretentious manner, putting on the airs of a teacher.

Qin Li chuckled and told Zhou Biao to prepare tea; he wanted to become Zhou Biao's apprentice...
