Chapter 164 Individual Teaching
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Li Xun was dressed in white, with elegant manners and a graceful demeanor. Even though he was in the imperial palace, he remained neither humble nor arrogant. With this kind of demeanor, few people in the entire Kyoto could match him.
This was Li Xi's first time in the palace. He had no memory of whether he had been here when he was young. He did not have the courage of his second uncle and was very nervous. Even though he looked calm, he was still young and occasionally panicked.
The emperor sat in the first seat, and the regent casually leaned back in his chair and drank tea. He came here today just to support the Li family. Otherwise, there would probably be a bunch of people with nothing to do coming to mess up the imperial study. With him around, no one else would have the courage to come here to do anything they wanted.
"The emperor has a lot of official duties every day. Second Young Master, you should discuss the study time with the emperor in the next few days. You can arrange these by yourselves. I will not get involved."
"Yes, uncle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I'm going to the library to take a look. You guys are welcome to do whatever you want." As soon as he stepped out of the door, he turned back to look at Li Xi, "Young Master Li, do you want to come with us? There are still many good books in the library in the palace. Do you want to go and take a look? I guess your second uncle won't be able to take care of you today."
Li Xi's body froze, and then he looked at his second uncle. He was scared. This regent... was very powerful. He had heard about it a long time ago. Although he looked kind today, but...
Although Li Xun was also surprised by Chu Chenfeng's behavior, he also knew that he had no ill intentions. The library in the palace collected rare books from all over the world. If Xier went to take a look, he would definitely gain a lot.
"Go."
Li Xi nodded, bowed to the little emperor in the first position and left. Chu Jie winked at him with a smile on his face. Li Xi also curled his lips, his eyes full of happiness, this was still his little brother Xiao Jie.
Following behind Chu Chenfeng, Li Xi felt very uneasy, fearing that one mistake would bring discredit to the Li family.
Chu Chenfeng has tried his best to restrain the aura around him, but... after all, he has been in a high position for many years and has fought on the battlefield for many years, so even if he does nothing and stands there, it is still scary enough.
Xing followed behind with an expressionless face, feeling anxious. It was obvious that his master wanted to cultivate feelings with his future brother-in-law, but this way...it seemed like there was no way to cultivate any relationship at all.
When we arrived at the library, we found that there were special people guarding it and few people came here on weekdays. Of course, ordinary people were not allowed to come here without the emperor's permission.
When the guards of the library saw the Regent, they bowed and greeted him respectfully.
Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change at all, and he went straight in. Li Xi became even more nervous when he saw the people kneeling on the ground.
After entering the library, Li Xi was shocked by the scene here. This library is so big, very big, I don't know how many floors it has. He didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him at this moment, so many books, and the thirst for knowledge in those eyes made Chu Chenfeng laugh.
Hearing the laughter, Li Xi's face turned red. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty. I have never seen such a large library, and it's also the first time I've seen so many books."
Chu Chenfeng's attitude was mild. He picked up a book and flipped through it casually. "The books here were collected from past dynasties in my dynasty. There are all kinds of books."
He pointed to the desk not far away and said, "In the cabinet over there, the ownership and classification of these books are recorded. If you want to find something, you can go over there to look up the number first. This way it will be easier to find. If you want to borrow it, just register it and remember to return it."
Li Xi's eyes lit up, "Can I still lend it out?"
Isn't it said that the library in the palace cannot be entered at will? Not to mention borrowing books.
Chu Chenfeng curled the corners of his lips, "Books are meant to be read by people. If I say it's okay, then it's okay."
Li Xi hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing his impatient look, Chu Chenfeng knew that he did the right thing, hehe.
"Don't worry about me. I'm also looking for a few books. Go find what you want to read."
Li Xi became even more excited after hearing this and took action immediately. There were so many books that he didn't know where to start.
Xing Yi looked at this scene, and he admired his master even more. The prince was indeed a prince, and he was really good at pleasing the emperor. He was worried just now, but he didn't expect that this would hit the mark. Just look at the joy of the young master of the Li family.
It was probably after half an hour that Li Xi came down with a pile of books, ready to register them one by one. He wanted to lend out all these books, hehehe.
Chu Chenfeng did not disturb the whole time and read quietly, but that doesn't mean he was completely unaware of Li Xi's behavior.
He put down the book in his hand and slowly walked to Li Xi's side. He found it a little funny to see him writing furiously, especially the face that was very similar to Li Mulan, which made him feel better. "This book of local flora is well selected."
Li Xi almost dropped the pen in his hand. When did the regent come behind him? He was too serious just now. He didn't even notice it.
Chu Chenfeng ignored him and continued to flip through the books he had found, nodding his head. The selections were indeed good. He pointed to a relatively worn-out book and asked, "Why did you choose this one?"
Li Xi looked at the book titled "Travels to Xifu" and his ears turned red. This was a travelogue, a miscellaneous book.
He just flipped through a few pages and found it quite interesting, so he wanted to borrow it to have a look. Would the Regent think he was unlearned? With such a good opportunity and so many good books, he actually borrowed a miscellaneous book.
Chu Chenfeng took the book and said, "This book is quite good. It not only introduces the cultural characteristics of many places, but also contains many interesting stories. Apart from the author's own extreme views on the current dynasty, the rest is worth reading."
Li Xi was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty has also read this book?"
“I watched it when I was a kid.”
Chu Chenfeng flipped through the other books he had borrowed. "These books are a bit too profound for you. Can you understand them?"
Li Xi scratched the back of his head again, feeling a little uncomfortable. "I don't understand. That's why I want to read more. If I don't understand something, I'll ask my second uncle."
Chu Chenfeng paused, um... this was not what he meant.
"I have been coming to the library every day recently. If Mr. Li is not available, you can come and ask me."
Li Xi nodded blankly. What did the prince mean by this? He wanted to teach him?
Chu Chenfeng didn't hear a response, so he looked up at him. Li Xi then reacted, "Yes, yes, there are indeed many things I don't understand about these books. If Your Majesty doesn't mind my stupidity..."
"which places?"
Li Xi's eyes widened, then he reacted and hurriedly opened one of the books, "It's... right here, kid doesn't understand, there are also this, here, and here..."
Chu Chenfeng understood, and without getting annoyed, he explained everything one by one.
One was teaching seriously, the other was listening seriously, and before they knew it, Chu Chenfeng was giving Li Xi a private lesson. In the Chu State, apart from the young emperor, Li Xi was probably the only one who had such treatment.
