I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"The friend you mentioned, is it him?"

Not long after, when Lu Shushu led the way, she brought Qin Li to the gate of a mansion.

Qin Li was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly agape and his lips twitching.

This mansion was none other than the residence of the Seventh Prince, Qin Feng.

"What do you mean 'him'? Watch your words. This is our Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Let me tell you, the Seventh Prince is my friend. If you dare to bully me again, I'll have His Highness teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Lu Shushu raised her little pink fist and said triumphantly, "Let's go in."

Qin Li was both amused and exasperated, too embarrassed to expose her.

If Lu Shushu knew that Qin Feng feared him like a mouse fears a cat, the expression on his face would be priceless.

"Let's go in," Lu Shushu said to Qin Li.

She brought Qin Li here today to show him that Lu Shushu is not someone to be trifled with.

"Do we really want to go in?" Qin Li stalled for time.

Where Lu Shushu couldn't see, he gently waved to Zhou Biao.

Make him go around in circles and find Qin Feng through the back door, but don't let Qin Feng give himself away.

Zhou Biao nodded, and before Lu Shushu could notice, his figure quickly disappeared.

Lu Shushu put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said arrogantly:

"What's wrong? Scared now? You've been bullying me all these days."

Qin Li felt wronged and said, "How did I bully you? During these past few days at the Imperial Academy, someone cooked for you every day, chopped firewood for you, and even washed your clothes. Is that bullying? If that's bullying, I'd rather be bullied every day."

Lu Shushu waved her hand, completely ignoring the warnings. In her mind, Qin Li was the one who was bullying her, and everything he was saying was just an excuse.

"Alright, come in now. If you don't think you've wronged me, then come in with me."

After saying that, Lu Shushu took the lead and walked towards the mansion. Qin Li shook his head slightly and followed her.

Unlike Qin Li's luxurious mansion, Qin Feng's Seventh Prince's mansion, although bestowed by Emperor Xuan, was not even as large as the mansion of an ordinary minister. There were no valuable items in the mansion, and it was so simple that it was almost unbelievable. There were also very few maids and servants.

"What brings you here today, Miss Lu?"

Upon receiving the letter, Qin Feng strode out, a broad smile on his face, and said...

At this moment, Zhou Biao returned to Qin Li's side and gestured to Qin Li, indicating that he had taken care of everything.

Qin Feng won't mess things up.

Qin Li nodded and watched Qin Feng's performance quietly.

Upon seeing Qin Feng, Lu Shushu curtsied and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness the Seventh Prince."

"Miss Lu, there's no need for such formalities."

Qin Feng raised his hand slightly, not daring to make any physical contact with Lu Shushu, for fear that Qin Li behind him would be displeased.

After straightening up, Lu Shushu said, "Your Highness, I was out shopping with my students today and happened to pass by your residence, so I came in to take a look. I'm really sorry to bother you."

"No, no."

Qin Feng waved his hand.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Lu Shushu turned her head away.

He kept giving Qin Li meaningful glances, urging him to quickly bow to Qin Feng.

This is the dignified Seventh Prince, yet Qin Li stood there motionless, like a wooden stake. Who did he think he was? He had no sense of propriety at all.

Qin Li did not bow, but instead gave Qin Feng a look, asking if he should bow.

Qin Feng was on the verge of tears. His relationship with Qin Li had only just begun to improve, and Qin Li had even put him in charge of matters related to the imperial examinations. He was too grateful to Qin Li to even ask him to bow to him.

But Zhou Biao just told him that he must not reveal Qin Li's identity in front of Lu Shushu.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng took the initiative to ask, "Miss Lu, who is this gentleman?"

Inwardly blaming Qin Li for not bowing, Lu Shushu said:

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, you may not know this, but this is my new student, named Qin Li. He seems to be from the Jiangnan region and has come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination."

"oh oh!"

Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

After saying this, Qin Feng extended his hand, inviting the two to sit in the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Qin Feng and Lu Shushu hadn't even sat down yet, but Qin Li, as if he were back in his own home, sat down casually.

Lu Shushu glared at him, annoyed, and told him to get up immediately, saying he had no manners at all.

Qin Li sat down before the host had even taken his seat.

If Qin Feng blames her later, she will also be implicated.

Qin Li said it was nothing and even pulled Lu Shushu to sit down with him.

"It's alright, have a seat."

Qin Feng smoothed things over and had tea served.

They chatted while drinking tea.

Lu Shushu said, "I feel that His Highness the Seventh Prince is somewhat different from before the New Year."

"What's the difference?"

Qin Feng put down his teacup and asked.

"I seem much happier."

Lu Shushu said.

Qin Feng was visibly happy, though no one knew what great joy he had encountered.

Qin Feng glanced at Qin Li, and only after receiving permission did he speak to Lu Shushu:

"Miss Lu, you may not know this, but I am deeply indebted to my elder brother and am in charge of some matters related to the imperial examinations."

"A person can't be idle all the time; they have to find something to do."

Lu Shushu nodded, expressing her deep agreement.

Despite her complaints about Qin Li, she was so bored during the Imperial Academy's holiday that she couldn't teach.

If Qin Li hadn't come, she would have gone crazy.

"By the way, Your Highness, who is the chief examiner for this year's imperial examination?"

Lu Shushu suddenly asked.

Everyone knows that the current Crown Prince will be in charge of this year's imperial examination, but the selection of the chief examiners has not yet been decided.

Since Qin Feng just said that he was in charge of some matters related to the imperial examinations, he must know some inside information.

Qin Feng said, "It's Minister Sun from the Ministry of Rites; it's always been him in previous years."

Lu Shushu nodded, having made up her mind.

If the chief examiner is still Minister Sun, then things will be much easier.

Based on the past practice of Minister Sun in setting exam questions, she could tailor a plan for Qin Li.

In this way, Qin Li's chances of passing the imperial examination will greatly increase, and she will live up to her reputation as a teacher at the Imperial Academy.

As time went on, Lu Shushu noticed that she was the only one talking to Qin Feng, while Qin Li hadn't said a word since he arrived, only drinking tea. Lu Shushu couldn't stand it anymore.

She gave Qin Li a meaningful look, signaling him to say something. This was the dignified Seventh Prince, and Qin Li was showing him no respect at all.

Seeing the look Lu Shushu gave Qin Li, Qin Feng still took the initiative to speak, saying:

"I wonder if this young man will stay in Beijing or return to his hometown after graduating from high school?"

Brother?

Lu Shushu looked at Qin Feng with a face full of doubt.

Qin Feng is a prince, and although Qin Li also has a status, there's no need for Qin Feng to address Qin Li as "brother."

Qin Li casually replied, "Of course I'll go back to my hometown. I've already made up my mind. I'll go back to my hometown and become a county magistrate right after I graduate from high school."

"Don't you have any self-respect? When you go out in the future, don't say I'm your teacher."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shushu couldn't help but reprimand him.

"How am I so useless? What's wrong with being a county magistrate? I can bring benefits to my fellow villagers."

Qin Li said.

"You!"

Lu Shushu laughed in anger, "If you go back to being a county magistrate and don't run rampant in the countryside and prey on the people, I'll consider it a blessing."

Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing.

However, as Qin Li looked over, he quickly suppressed his laughter and put on a serious face.
