The next day, Zhen Pu Ren came to the study early in the morning.

He carefully prepared all the precious calligraphy scrolls that He Lang might use, holding a kind of anticipation while waiting for him to come.

Teacher actually punished Imperial Brother yesterday, for his Imperial Brother, it was probably thunderbolt in a clear day? He smiled, he unexpectedly didn't know that his own heart would soar so strongly in pleasure.

But turning his head, he actually saw that He Lang and Zhen Pu Yang entered the room hand in hand, their relationship looked to be more intimate than before.

Zhen Pu Ren pupils contracted, he would never have expected this outcome, it completely defeated his expectations.

Seeing his face that was shocked to the point of forgetting to retract his fangs, Zhen Pu Yang was even more derisive. Hmph, this person was completely devoid of shame, actually daring to appear before them.

He narrowed his eyes, pressing down the fire that secretly emerged.

Anyway, Imperial Tutor wanted him to learn patience, so he wouldn't bother with this kind of vile person.

Zhen Pu Yang passed by him naturally, picking up the book and happily sticking to He Lang, wanting him to explain sentence by sentence.

He Lang did not object or get annoyed, really treating him like an illiterate child and instructing him with utmost care. The two of them spoke intimately with a lively atmosphere, and the naturally self-aware Zhen Pu Ren was unable to interrupt.

When lesson time was over, Zhen Pu Yang held He Lang and left, Zhen Pu Ren's complicated thoughts were startled awake, pulling on his arm, begging him to stay.

This action provoked Zhen Pu Yang's facial expression to darken, immediately striking his hand away. What kind of filthy action from this person, even daring to touch his Teacher.

He Lang didn't have any intention of staying behind, just giving him a piece of advice, "Hoping that 12th Highness will be able to live according to your name."

(T/N: Zhen Pu Ren's name - 甄溥仁; relevant would be the last character [bc the first is the surname and the second is the shared character between all the princes]; Ren meaning benevolence/high mindedness AKA very moral... as opposed to ZPY's Yang (阳) which means the sun or Chinese male energy – think yin and yang)

Zhen Pu Ren was chastised like that, he didn't dare to speak again, wasn't Teacher saying he wasn't morally upright? He laughed bitterly, wasn't this considered castigating him? Teacher's heart was indeed with Imperial Brother. He gave a sigh, standing still while watching the two's receding figures.

He didn't understand why Teacher would like that kind of weird person who was difficult to get along with. He was obviously the student who most admired him...

Zhen Pu Ren sucked in a breath, turning around to leave, when Scholar Li returned, he would no longer meet with He Lang, the fate between the two would end like that.

Remembering this, Zhen Pu Yang's temperament was finally steadied, no longer as mercurial as before. When he recognised that forbearance would allow him to reach his goals, his emotions gradually became more inscrutable.
