Chapter 457: You’re Not Worthy
The Crown Prince looked at him with a faint smile, he seemed to be very patient, “I’m really surprised that you came to be a teacher. I didn’t expect that a person who could only imitate my style in the early years would grow to such an extent now. Xuzhi, it’s not easy to be a teacher. Do you have enough ability?”
Xie Qiao thought the Crown Prince was being…
A jerk now, which was rather cute.
When did he become a stinging bee that chased after people?
Was he not throwing Zhao Xuzhi a cold blanket now?!
No, he had already done that. Now, he was torturing Zhao Xuzhi’s soul.
“Your Highness, even the Emperor often praises me for being comparable to a master in calligraphy and painting,” Zhao Xuzhi’s entire body was filled with resistance.
His heart was filled with anger. Every time the Crown Prince appeared, he would become a weakling who could not fight back at all!
“My Father is not proficient in calligraphy and painting. Even if you were to paint an animal, he would praise the beautiful scenery in the painting. How could he take it seriously?” The Crown Prince sneered again.
He leaned against the door and fiddled with the pendant on his waist. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze was cold and filled with disdain. He appeared… extremely evil.
That was right, everyone could feel the Crown Prince’s hostility toward Zhao Xuzhi.
It was obvious.
“Your Highness, what are you trying to say? Could it be that you think that I’m not even worthy of being a teacher?” Zhao Xuzhi was furious.
The Crown Prince raised his feet and walked in, “That’s right, that’s what I think.”
He raised his head and smiled. He had an expression that said, ‘What can you do to me?’
Zhao Xuzhi was almost angered to death.
Xie Qiao was dumbfounded.
What were these two cousins… doing?
When did the Crown Prince become so childish? At that moment, he looked as if he had a deep grudge with Zhao Xuzhi.
“What did I do wrong to make Your Highness humiliate me like this?” Zhao Xuzhi clenched his fists.
The Crown Prince stopped smiling, his attitude became more serious, “You don’t know who the teachers of the women’s academy are? You need to be over 40 years old or a woman. If you are a man below 40 years old, you need to be upright and well-known. Do you think you’re worthy? With your mere ability, how dare you bribe the overseer to transfer you here? What are your intentions?”
He knew that Prince Ning Bei had helped with the connection, but the overseer had arranged for him to go to the men’s academy.
After Zhao Xuzhi came, he gave him a thousand taels of silvers in exchange to come here instead!
Why was he angry? If Zhao Xuzhi was righteous, he could still give Prince Ning Bei some face!
“My reputation is flawless!” Zhao Xuzhi stood there stiffly.
“You have terrible character to be offering bribes,” Zhao Xuanjing said coldly, “Moreover, you want to be a teacher with your talent? You’re not worthy. You don’t need to say anything. I will explain it to your Father personally. Pack your things and leave the academy.”
Zhao Xuzhi did not expect Zhao Xuanjing to be so ruthless.
He had humiliated him twice in one day.
Now, in front of so many people, he felt that his self-esteem was trampled on the ground and he could not turn over.
“Your Highness said that I’m not talented enough. I’m not convinced,” Zhao Xuzhi refused to leave.
If he did not prove his ability, then… How could he maintain his stance in the capital in the future?
The Crown Prince laughed, “I gave you a chance. Since you’re not willing to accept it, don’t blame me for making you feel ashamed.” After the Crown Prince finished speaking, Zhou Weizong took out three paintings and threw them in front of Zhao Xuzhi, “These three paintings were made by three students from Orchid Courtyard. Look, which one can you compare to?”
The Crown Prince’s disdain was written all over his face.
