Chapter 978: The Good-Tempered Tenth Prince Flies Into Rage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Gu Nuoer woke up, the morning court session had already ended. Ye Siming had already set off with the city patrol guards.

She heard that Ye Siming was going to check if there were many bad people trying to enter the capital.

Gu Nuoer rested her chin on her small hand, her big black eyes sparkling.

Uh Will Elder Brother Siming remember to bring me something fun to play with?

Four days. Then she would obediently wait for him to come back!

The child quickly got over it and slipped out of the imperial study to play, leaving her father alone in front of a pile of memorials.

In the Chengqian Hall, the tenth prince, Gu Ziliang, was listening to the rain while copying words.

Master Tao sat on a chair not far away and rested his head on his hand to take a nap.

After Gu Nuoer scolded him last time, he didnt dare to let the tenth prince copy the a.n.a.lects of Confucius anymore.

Instead, he used the excuse of nurturing him to get him to copy the Guwen?Guanzhi!

Gu Ziliang knew that Master Tao was afraid of Gu Nuoer and didnt dare to make things difficult for him openly.

However, in the dark, he still used these cheap tricks.

He had a good temper and wasnt going to hold it against him easily.

When Master Tao asked him to copy the book, he did as he was told.

At this moment, he had finished copying on the third piece of paper. When he picked up the paper and blew on the ink, he accidentally knocked off the brush rack.

With two to three splashes, he woke up the sleeping Master Tao.

He suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out, Where were we just now? Oh, right, the Sage once said

Master Tao looked around and realized that there was only the tenth prince, Gu Ziliang.

He couldnt help but stop trying to find excuses.

Gu Ziliang got up and went to pick up the brush holder. Master Tao was disturbed from his good dream and looked a little unhappy.

He walked over and picked up a piece of paper to check.

Your Highness, is this what you copied?

Master Tao raised the paper and his tone was a little stern.

Gu Ziliang put down the brush stand, his ice-blue eyes deep and cold. He looked at the paper in Master Taos hand.

On the paper, the handwriting was copied with vigor. The structures were clearly defined, and the strokes were clear, making each word look like pine trees!

Gu Ziliang thought that his copying was neat and tidy, so he asked patiently, Master Tao, whats wrong?

Master Tao pursed his lips repeatedly, looking for a suitable reason to find trouble.

After a long while, he asked sternly, How long has it been? Why did Your Highness only copy three pieces of paper?

Gu Ziliang frowned slightly. Its only been an hour, but Ive already done my best. Didnt the teacher say that copying books cant be done quickly and must be done steadily?

Master Tao was a little displeased by his retort.

He looked behind Gu Ziliang.

He made sure that no one was standing outside.

He was afraid that the little princess would suddenly appear and punish him.

After confirming that there was no one around, Master Tao said angrily, Your Highness, its been a few consecutive days and youve been using this att.i.tude to brush me off.

Although Her Highness previously said that I shouldnt let you continue copying books, I want you to learn better and be more knowledgeable than other princes. Thats why I made up my mind to let you copy these.

However, youre being patronizing and stalling for time. Do you really think that you can stop learning just because you have the princess backing you up? Ill say something that may not sound nice to Your Highness.

The princess is young and can mess around. She also has the favor of the n.o.ble consort and His Majesty, but you dont. If you just listen to the princess and mess around, then

Enough! Gu Ziliang suddenly flew into a rage.

Master Tao, who had never seen the tenth prince angry before, was so frightened that he was stunned.

Gu Ziliangs ice-blue eyes were filled with seething anger.

It was like there were unbalanced waves rising from the deep sea!

The waves were enough to devour all the insignificant people in the world.
