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.

After all, his previous lackadaisical appearance made one uneasy in entrusting him with any important tasks.
He Lang recognised this opportunity, and knew that it was a start.

That day, Zhen Pu Yang and his brothers went hunting, He Lang finally had some personal time, staying at home and playing with Rabbit, drinking tea.
Just when he was getting bored, a person came to pay a visit.
His Imperial Tutor Residence could be considered desolate, other than His Highness's repeated entrance and exit, other officials who wanted to visit and cultivate relationships did not dare to do so because His Highness did not like it.
And the person who came today was named Jiang Qiu Bai, who was his old friend. It was said that he had suffered an illness and returned home to rest and recover, so he had not seen him over this period of time.
Upon seeing him, memories relating to this person surged up instantaneously.
Jiang Qiu Bai was an official in the Ministry of Works, at that time they had sat for the Imperial Examination together, and the final Examination, and had many years of familiarity. They were rare companions who could fully trust each other.
Facing such a person, he secretly relaxed at last. Although it was the first time interacting with him, but Jiang Qui Bai did not sweat the little things, words and actions completely trusting, greatly increasing his good opinion of him.
He had no confidants in his previous life, it was just a pity he met him so late this time.
After exchanging casual conversation, He Lang could tell that he had a restless frame of mind, and probed deeper: "Brother Jiang's (2) mood isn't great today, is there anything wrong?"
"The person who knows me best is indeed Brother He!" Jiang Qiu Bai's eyes lit up slightly, sighing. It was indeed because his heart had unresolved anger, with nowhere else to go, would he look for Brother He.
Every time he was suffered a defeat, Brother He would offer him advice, helping him resolve his low spirits and cross these obstacles. The past was just as the present, over time, he had become accustomed to seeking comforting from the empathetic Brother He.
"Willing to lend a listening ear."
"Isn't it that old man Yue Gao Yang!" Jiang Qiu Bai wore an angry countenance, getting vexed once speaking of this person, unable to sit still, anxiously pacing back and forth.
He Lang nodded in understanding; so the reason was him once again.
Yue Gao Yang was someone who had worked together with them in the Ministry of Works, and had been an official for a long time. His age was comparable to Jiang Qiu Bai's father, but despite living for so long he liked to fight as much as a young person.
In the beginning when Jiang Qiu Bai was young and placed at his side, he already had a grudge, always quarrelling, resulting in a relationship where they would fight easily.
But Yue Gao Yang was ambitious and arrogant, never putting Jiang Qiu Bai in his eyes, always regarding him a younger generation who could not acclimatise, not especially aiming at him, but there were many things that caused him to be embarrassed.
Jiang Qiu Bai was born a commoner, and didn't have a powerful background like He Bai, and there were few supporters behind him. In order to spare his feelings, He Bai had always smiled and accepted his habits, working with him as if nothing had happened.
Although he had an outwardly calm appearance, but Jiang Qiu Bai was actually also narrow-minded, and every time he gave Yue Gao Yang tit for tat he would have a whole stomach of anger by himself. He Lang was helpless in this situation.
The conflict this time was due to the Jinnan earthquake, Jiang Qiu Bai was appointed the Minister of Disaster Relief, which didn't sit right with Yue Gao Yang who was the Minister of Revenue, and the grant was delayed several times.
"This muddled old man, actually resorting to tricks regarding these important matters!" Jiang Qiu Bai scolded harshly, drinking a mouth of the cooled-down tea to suppress his anger.
He Lang nodded, remembering that his house's Highness was also involved in this time's disaster relief, and was in charge of supervising the progress of the matter. Although as of now it was mostly nominal, but since it was a matter that had to do with His Highness, He Lang had to be concerned with it.
Moreover, he knew that Yue Gao Yang was a supporter of the Crown Prince. For this reason alone, He Lang had already regarded him as a definite opponent.
Although the Courts had decreed against the collusion of Court officials, but these things had always existed. As long as the Princes were of a suitable age, various officials would unavoidably have the notion of advancing the Prince most suited to their interest, collaborating with the same party, mutually benefiting.
Moreover, Yue Gao Yang and the Queen were distant relatives, they would naturally help each other.
In the past, it was His Highness who had not yet entered Imperial Court, and all the messy fighting was of no concern to him. But the situation was different now, Yue Gao Chang had already made preparations against His Highness entering the Imperial Court, unknown when he would interfere, but it was sure that he would not sit and wait. In the long run, this was a hidden danger.
"Don't be anxious." He Lang instructed a servant to set up the chessboard, calling for a pot of Qing Jiu (3), killing this scarce free time with Jiang Qiu Bai.
"How could I not be anxious? Brother He, you – moving here and there, playing chess?" Jiang Qiu Bai arranged things here and there, twisting his legs to sit on the cushioned seat. His hands held the white chess piece. He exchanged with He Lang, but was still unable to calm down, and played in a disorderly manner.
He Lang saw that he was full of dissatisfaction but had to force himself to pretend to be untroubled, and couldn't help but pensively twist his fingertips around the chess piece. He looked down to hide his eyes that were surging with gloominess. "I'll share a plan with you."
Jiang Qiu Bai moved closer with his ears forward, listening and nodding, eyes carrying a slight smile.

Coincidentally, Zhen Pu Yang returned from hunting, just entering the doorway, and saw the two of them intimately nestling against one another whispering with each other, even sharing a smile with each other after. He couldn't help but pull a long face, throwing the quiver that was in his hands aside, giving out a "clank".
He Lang looked towards him, giving a slight smile, waving his hands at him, "Yang'er is back?"
"En." He nodded his heads, quickly sizing up the stranger next to him, walking to He Lang's side, cutting off their eye contact.
"Greeting Your Royal Highness." Jiang Qiu Bai immediately sharply recognised his identity, and greeted him.
Zhen Pu Yang looked at him in askance, not saying a single word, just looking him up and down, guessing what this person's identity was.
Jiang Qiu Bai wave and introduced himself politely. It was just that he inadvertently added a sentence of "Imperial Tutor's long time confidant., making Zhen Pu Yang feel extremely interested.
He narrowed his eyes, asking again, "A long time confidant?"
Jiang Hong Qiu froze for a moment, then immediately nodded his head in affirmation. He mistakenly thought that His Royal Highness really wanted to hear their shared past, and actually earnestly told him about how they shared trials and tribulations together.
Seeing that Zhen Pu Yang's expression was getting worse and worse, He Lang's eyelid twitched, patting Jiang Qiu Bai's shoulder, using his eyes to signal, "Brother Jiang, today we reminisced about the past, we'll meet another day, what I said just now, think more about it."
Jiang Qiu Bai nodded, smiling brightly at him, saluting Zhen Pu Yang again before leaving.
Even after he left, Zhen Pu Yang didn't let go of the subject. "How long have you been together? Was what he just said really true? What did you speak about when I wasn't here?"
What we spoke about? He Lang's face had a troubled expression, and could only respond: "... reporting is inconvenient."
"..." Zhen Pu Yang seemed to glare at him before leaving for a moment. This person not only didn't think of him, and even had a good time with someone else, not even willing to tell him the contents of their conversation, it couldn't be that there were still some untellable secrets? The more he thought, the more upset he got.
He Lang changed the subject as if nothing had happened, curiously asking Zhen Pu Yang what he brought back.
Speaking of this improved Zhen Pu Yang's mood greatly.
His gains from this hunt were abundant, bringing back many spoils of war. He asked for servants to quickly process them, the remaining was all the good fur. He couldn't wear that many himself so there was no point keeping it, and thought to make clothes to keep out the cold for Teacher.
He gestured at Teacher's body with great interest, "Teacher, once the weather turns cold, this fox-fur brocade would fit nicely as a muffler for you (respectful), or connecting behind an overcoat, so your neck won't get chilly –"
This colour was pure, the fur gleamed, the soft fur standing against Teacher's cheeks would be sure to look good.
It was just that as chance would have it, he brought back a pile of fur, including rabbit fur.
Seeing Rabbit which had just finished eating melon, Zhen Pu Yang maliciously brought it in front of the rabbit, immediately scaring it till its whole body shook, running into He Lang's embrace.
He Lang reprimanded Zhen Pu Yang by knocking his head, and patted the rabbit's head, "Naughty, don't scare this rabbit, it bites when angry. (4)"
A wave of mischief rose in Zhen Pu Yang's heart, this stupid rabbit was always leeching onto Teacher, and it wasn't some kind of respectable thing. What right did this stupid rabbit have to spend every day in Teacher's embrace? Teacher actually knocked on his head on behalf on the rabbit.
He pouted, "When I'm angry I will also bite the rabbit."
