Chapter 354

The titles of titles in the Heaven Dou Empire are divided into four types: Dukes and Uncles. Below the Son of Heaven, the Duke is the largest. The kings of each principality are actually dukes.

Among these four titles, the Earl and above can have their own fiefs and enjoy great power at the same time, and in this era of decentralized power, one lord is almost equivalent to the local king, enjoying the power of life and death.

This time Qi Ling won the first place in the competition. Emperor Xue Ye not only promised him the earl's reward, but also gave him a fief. Although Qi Ling has experienced many things, it is the first time that he has become a lord of a party. So it's still relatively new.

Under the leadership of Ning Rongrong, they walked through the blocks of Heaven Dou City and came to the palace. As the daughter of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the guards in the palace are naturally very familiar with her. After all, Ning Fengzhi is a goddess. The most important ally of the Dou Empire, the status is beyond imagination.

"Oh? Brother Qi Ling, Rong Rong?" Not long after they walked in the palace, Qi Ling and the others actually met the Prince Xue Qinghe head-on, and after seeing the two, Xue Qinghe immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

"His Royal Highness, Gui'an." Ning Rongrong did not dare to be too presumptuous when he saw Xue Qinghe. After all, the other party was the prince, and he also represented the majesty of a country.

"Hahaha, Rongrong, why are you still so restrained? Didn't I say that your father is my teacher, so just call me Brother Xue." Xue Qinghe laughed.

Ning Rongrong bowed his head slightly and said, "How can it be done? Just because my father is the teacher of His Royal Highness, the etiquette between the ruler and the minister must not be abandoned, otherwise, it will attract others to gossip."

"You, you." Xue Qinghe shook his head helplessly, and then said to Qi Ling, "Brother Qi Ling, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I've been waiting for you to receive your reward, so you've come! "

Then, under the leadership of Xue Qinghe, the two walked towards the depths of the palace.

Although Xue Qinghe has always been polite, elegant and easy-going, but for some reason, when Qi Ling saw him, he always had a strong sense of disobedience, but could not find a reason.

This kind of feeling is inexplicable and has no basis at all, so Qi Ling can only attribute it to his sixth sense, which also shows that he actually does not trust the prince from the bottom of his heart.

After the three of them saw the Great Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi also happened to be there, apparently waiting here for Qi Ling.

Seeing Qi Ling, Emperor Xue Ye seemed very happy. After some praise, he announced the reward for Qi Ling. In addition to the previous agreements, Emperor Xue Ye specially raised Qi Ling's title to one level, becoming the Marquis, he is the youngest marquis in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"In addition, in view of your excellent teaching ability, Qi Ling, I specially appointed you as the teacher of Princess Xueke. Would you like to?" Emperor Xue Ye asked.

For this matter, Qi Ling is actually reluctant, because in the past six months, he has known the hard work of being a teacher, and it is completely unsuitable for his free-spirited personality.

But Qi Ling couldn't intuitively refuse the emperor's request, so he said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, I am a talented person with little knowledge, far inferior to the education committees of the education committee, so I am afraid of delaying the princess' studies, this teaching teacher I am still."

"Hahaha, Qi Ling, it's so good, the people who recommended you to me are the three education committees, and they swore and assured me that when Xueke is handed over to you, you will definitely learn something. Don't refuse." The Great Emperor Xue Ye said with a smile.

Qi Ling suddenly felt extremely depressed, these three old men, although 80% of them were thinking of themselves, they would recommend themselves to Emperor Xue Ye, but they didn't want to do this job.

"However, Your Majesty, I have little teaching experience here, so I'm afraid I can't teach students according to their aptitude. I don't know if I can train Princess Xueke to become a talent."

"Hahaha, don't worry too much, Qi Ling, I have confidence in you! What's more, as a princess, Xueke only needs to be knowledgeable and reasonable, so you don't need to be under any pressure." Emperor Xue Ye continued.

At this point, Qi Ling can see it clearly, because the crown prince has already established, so Emperor Xue Ye doesn't care about what Princess Xueke can learn, and even some women feel that incompetence is virtue.

The reason why Qi Ling was asked to be Xue Ke's teacher was to win him over. Even if Qi Ling could be recruited as his concubine, he would be very happy compared to Emperor Xue Ye.

Let Emperor Xue Ye say this. If Qi Ling doesn't agree, no one will come down to the stage. After all, to tell the truth, this Emperor Xue Ye is still good to him.

So helpless, Qi Ling had no choice but to agree to become Princess Xueke's teacher. Fortunately, teaching one student is better than teaching a group of students.

"Hahaha, so good!" Emperor Xue Ye laughed, "Rong Rong, I remember that your relationship with Xue Ke seems to be good, right? In that case, take this opportunity to take Qi Ling to meet you. Xue Ke, your father and I still have something to talk about."

Ning Rongrong agreed and walked out with Qi Ling, then walked to the back garden of the palace together.

According to Ning Rongrong, at this time, Princess Xueke usually paints in the back garden, which is one of her hobbies.

After arriving in the back garden, they soon saw Princess Xueke surrounded by a kind of servants, facing a peach blossom tree, painting seriously.

"Oh, I'm tired of painting these flowers and trees every day!" Princess Xueke sighed and complained, "Could it be that there is nothing perfect in this world that can make my heart flutter? If I can find something like that, my painting skills will definitely improve very quickly.”

"Xue Ke, are you painting here again?" Ning Rongrong said to Xue Ke as she walked towards her. As for Qi Ling, she stayed where she was out of courtesy.

"Sister Rongrong! Are you here?" Xueke heard Ning Rongrong's voice, and immediately put down her paintbrush happily and ran towards Ning Rongrong, "Why haven't you come to play with me for so long! I'm so lonely. !"

In terms of age, Xue Ke, who is thirteen years old this year, naturally wants to be called Sister Ning Rongrong. The two have been like sisters since childhood, and they can talk about everything.

"I'm sorry, Xue Ke, I've been busy all the time, so I didn't come to see you." Ning Rongrong took Xue Ke's hand and said to her with a smile.

Xue Ke listened to Ning Rongrong's words, and was happy when she suddenly saw Qi Ling standing behind her, her beautiful eyes widened, she stood still, and a red glow appeared on her little face.

"Sister Rongrong, sister Rongrong, who is he?" Xueke hurriedly asked Ning Rongrong in a low voice, while secretly looking at Qi Ling differently.

Seeing Xue Ke's reaction, Ning Rongrong felt helpless in her heart. Although she had already thought of this situation before she came, Qi Ling's charm was too unstoppable.
