"Ah."
"Announce him to come in."
The second prince entered the hall and respectfully bowed.
Emperor Qing looked at his second son quietly and said casually.
"You are dressed quite formally today."
The second prince smiled slightly and answered respectfully.
"My father once said that a prince should act like a prince."
"Your subject has listened."
Emperor Qing chuckled.
Is that really the reason?
The second prince raised his eyes and smiled calmly.
"Yes, Father Emperor."
"Your subject dares not deceive Your Majesty."
Emperor Qing smiled again.
"Alright, tell me what's wrong."
The Second Prince smiled and looked at Emperor Qing, and said...
"Father, I wish to leave the palace and become a disciple of Master Su."
"Enter the Academy to study."
Emperor Qing listened quietly, pondering the matter.
Without a moment, he nodded decisively.
"Ah."
With another wave of his hand, he summoned Eunuch Hou to step forward.
"Preach my will."
"The Second Prince is virtuous and wise, and is hereby granted the title of Prince of Virtue."
“许开（府37建衙，17出29宫别11住。”9）
This decree is a clear order that the Second Prince may leave the palace to become a disciple.
She glanced at the Second Prince again.
"After leaving the palace, all your interactions with others are up to you."
This sentence was a veiled message, telling the second prince that he could confidently befriend court officials.
This was something that Emperor Qing had already decided long ago.
As for leaving the palace to become a disciple, it was exactly what Emperor Qing wanted.
He was worried about how to ease tensions with Su Yu.
How can Su Yu's relationship with the palace be made closer?
The Second Prince's trip to become a disciple served as an excellent bridge.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if Su Yu stops being the Crown Prince's tutor.
They're all his princes anyway.
Moreover, the second son is intelligent, and perhaps even better than the crown prince.
Having finished speaking, the second prince respectfully took his leave and returned home overjoyed.
……
Guangxin Palace.
White gauze curtains hung everywhere in the palace, giving off a chilly atmosphere.
The palace gates were not closed in broad daylight.
Standing outside the door, you can see that there are plants that grow in all four seasons inside.
The slumbering plum blossoms, the orchids weary of the summer heat, the evergreen bamboo, and the budding chrysanthemums yet to bloom.
A woman who looked exactly like a shy sixteen-year-old girl was lying on a chair.
Listening to the palace maids talking.
Su Yu came and then left the palace with a flourish.
And some things that happened during that time.
She was initially surprised, but then her expression immediately turned to excitement.
"Su Yu, as expected, has not disappointed me!"
How dare they commit such a heinous act!
He has the courage, the boldness, and the ability!
I'm afraid my brother, the emperor, is furious.
Su Yu was able to easily make Hong Sixiang kneel down, so he must already be a Grandmaster?
It seems that not everyone is under his control.
The so-called player in the game, haha.
Here comes the one who overturned the chessboard.
The eldest princess sneered as she listened to the palace maid read out the emperor's edict.
Li Yunqian actually lowered his head.
Disappointing, truly disappointing.
Suddenly, everyone felt that the Emperor brother wasn't so interesting after all.
Su Yu, on the other hand, is becoming more and more surprising.
I really can't see through him. How many more surprises are he hiding?
The eldest princess smiled happily.
"Has Su Yu finished her lecture?"
"Summon him to Guangxin Palace and tell him that I have invited him."
The palace maid frowned and replied with her head down.
"Your Highness, Mr. Su has already left."
"It seems he will no longer come to the palace to teach."
"I heard he's going to start an academy."
"The Second Prince is going to study at the academy outside the palace."
The eldest princess frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
"Oh, they've already left?"
"What a pity, I didn't get to see him again."
Su Yu entered the palace twice, leaving in a hurry both times.
She really had never even seen the boy's face once.
What a pity, what a real pity.
To establish a college?
What did he do by founding the college?
To attract talent from all over the world?
The eldest princess stretched out her slender fingers and rubbed her temples.
As the fingertips rubbed, the temples gradually turned red.
The princess raised her eyes, a beautiful smile curving her lips.
"Is Wan'er feeling any better?"
"Let her go to that college too."
The palace maid accepted the order and took her leave.
The princess pondered for a moment, and the image of the young man in white unconsciously appeared in her mind.
It was just a face, always blurry.
Curiosity, truly curiosity.
Before long, he ordered someone to prepare a medicinal meal, and it was time to go see the Empress Dowager.
……
Yaohua Palace.
This is the residence of the Queen of Qing Kingdom.
It was much larger than the surrounding palaces and courtyards.
It's just that compared to highlighting the identity of the owner inside.
What stands out most about Yaohua Palace is its unprecedented loneliness and coldness.
The vast palace was filled with white candles.
These candles are always lit, whether it is day or night.
The entire Yaohua Palace seems to have always been the same.
The city was brightly lit, making it impossible to distinguish between night and day.
