Chapter 172 Lin Ran's Educational Methods
"Grandma, Ancestor, the first beauty pageant has begun. Today is the day of the preliminary rounds. Please come and watch the ceremony."
Before the flame-patterned fabric curtain of the Flame Palace, Emperor Qinglian, no longer displaying his imperial majesty at court assemblies, humbly bowed and requested instructions like a junior. Behind the curtain, however, Lin Ran was conducting a thorough investigation into the Empress of the Flame Palace, Emperor Qingshuo, who was involved in tax evasion.
Hearing the incoherent chanting, Emperor Qing Shuo was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Only he could savor the thousand emotions in his heart.
The cries suddenly became high-pitched and rapid, seemingly Lin Ran's response to Emperor Qing Shuo's request for instructions. The noise gradually subsided after a sharp scream.
After a while, Lin Ran walked around the screen alone, her laughter clear and melodious.
"Haha, Xiaoling, you've worked hard. Please get up quickly. Why wait here so long?"
Lin Ran also followed local customs, wearing a black robe with gold dragon patterns. The long, dark robe was embroidered with fine, golden dragon patterns, making it look incredibly expensive.
The "Xiao Ling" that Lin Ran mentioned was Emperor Qing Shuo's nickname. After the old emperor died, only Emperor Qing Shuo's mother and Dongfang Yanli called him that, but now Lin Ran is the only one who calls him by that name.
Lin Ran felt that it was a good way to address him, as it made him seem closer to him; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to address Emperor Qing Shuo.
Calling himself "Aldehyde Lower" like everyone else felt a bit awkward. After all, he was a human from Earth, and the term "Lower" was too far removed from his own experience. Besides, he wasn't a member of the main dynasty of the peaks.
Lin Ran helped Qinglian Emperor up, but the smile on Qinglian Emperor's face was still slightly stiff. "Ancestor, you are joking. Etiquette cannot be taken lightly."
"Oh, Xiao Ling, I've told you so many times, don't smile when you don't want to. It really doesn't look good." Emperor Qing Shuo's smile became even more stiff; Lin Ran's words had truly struck a nerve.
From childhood to adulthood, he only needed to force himself to smile when he was with Lin Ran. However, it wasn't Lin Ran who made him smile.
This ingratiating smile was a decision made by Emperor Qing Shuo himself.
This would allow him to better experience the feeling of submission when someone looks down on him puts a hat on him, versus being put a hat on him in a way that is taken for granted, justified, and arrogant.
It can only be said that his lifelong high position had twisted Qinglian Emperor's inner world to a point of being almost anthropomorphic. Lin Ran arrived at the prepared imperial carriage.
Emperor Qing Shuo hadn't used a carriage in a long time, but after his experience walking back to the palace with Lin Ran last time, and considering that Lin Ran was a mortal, he decided to re-equip the palace with a royal carriage.
After boarding the carriage, Emperor Qing Shuo consciously went to the coachman's seat to prepare to drive.
Lin Ran prefers to have fun with women in private, so Emperor Qing Shuo naturally has no right to be in the carriage. Emperor Qing Shuo is only fit to be a groom and a deer.
Inside the carriage, a girl in a gorgeous dress was already waiting. "Greetings, Your Excellency the Imperial Advisor!"
"Oh, Xiao Mo, why are you being so formal? I already told you to just call me brother."
Lin Ran pulled the girl into his arms, and from the touch, he could tell that the fabric of her clothes was of high quality.
Since Emperor Qing Shuo issued an imperial edict appointing Lin Ran as the Imperial Advisor, the rights and status of the so-called Imperial Advisor have also been defined.
The Imperial Advisor had the authority to determine the education received by members of the royal family, including the methods and content of the education. Although they held no real power, even the emperor had to pay them respects.
Lin Ran carefully selected from among the members of the royal family and finally chose to educate the girl in front of him, Bian Mo.
The surname of the Qinglian Emperor's royal family is relatively rare on Blue Star, and may not even exist. The emperor's surname is Bian Qingshuo, and his given name is Bian Ling.
Bian Mo is Emperor Qing Shuo's cousin and is currently a princess of a wealthy city closest to the imperial capital. When Emperor Qing Shuo summoned her to the imperial city for education, Bian Mo was treated with great respect.
She even asked her father to contact Emperor Qing Shuo, as she didn't want to come to the capital.
Unfortunately, Bian Mo's father was also a man, and he knew Emperor Qing Shuo very well. From the moment the appointment of the Imperial Preceptor was announced, he had guessed the most likely possibility.
Given Emperor Qing Shuo's personality, the fact that he would be willing to lower himself to the position of Imperial Advisor, a position he himself would have to bow to, strongly suggests that he has met someone willing to serve him as Emperor Qing Shuo.
This is a good thing, since Bian Mo's father was also cuckolded.
So he directly ordered Bian Mo to obey the instructions, and even sent the lady with Bian Mo, claiming that he hoped to receive strict training from the Imperial Preceptor. Bian Mo was quite unwilling when she was forced to meet Lin Ran upon arriving in the capital.
After all, she was a princess of the Qunfeng Dynasty, and the most prestigious one at that, with a good relationship with Emperor Qingshuo. When had she ever been ordered around like this in the Qunfeng Dynasty?
However, she also understood that her nobility came from the royal family, from Emperor Qing Shuo and her father.
So she had no choice but to be obedient and receive her education along with her mother.
She had initially thought that the Imperial Preceptor's teachings were the same as those of private tutors. But she never expected that the Imperial Preceptor's teachings would be so extraordinary.
Although Lin Ran uses a pointer throughout her lessons, the learning experience is quite comfortable.
The pleasure was so intense that it was the first time she had ever experienced such a learning experience. She came immediately, soaking her pointer with water.
Under Lin Ran's persistent guidance, Bian Mo gradually fell in love with learning and became increasingly fond of it. Moreover, Bian Mo especially enjoyed studying with her mother.
A mother provides a sense of security, and studying together offers a psychological boost to learning. There's an inexplicable, special enhancement that enriches the learning experience.
The only imperfection was that her mother always used the excuse of loving her to take away her learning opportunities.
Sometimes, when things were almost at their most intense, Lin Ran would turn around and start teaching her because of her mother's whining and pleading. This made Bian Mo so anxious that she burst into tears.
Ever since she was educated by the national teacher, Bian Mo has often been filled with knowledge.
This made her fall in love with learning completely, but unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. She soon learned that the Imperial Preceptor's students weren't just her and her mother. A group of women lived in the Flame Glass Palace; they were all the Imperial Preceptor's students.
This made Xiao Bianmo somewhat indignant. After all, Lin Ran was the Imperial Preceptor, and his duty was to educate the members of the royal family. In the Yanli Palace, only her sister-in-law, Dongfang Yanli, was a member of the royal family; all the other women were commoners.
Bian Mo even went to Emperor Qing Shuo to complain, saying that Lin Ran wasn't focused enough on education and wasting precious time on a lowly woman. Emperor Qing Shuo saw his younger sister, who had always been innocent, romantic, and pure.
Now, without batting an eye, she says these words as if it were perfectly natural. She complains that the Imperial Advisor didn't spend enough time chiseling her.
This immediately triggered his cuckoldry fetish, and he ignored Bian Mo and went back to the Infusion Palace to enjoy himself. Since Emperor Qinglian didn't stand up for her, she naturally brought up the matter with Lin Ran later.
They accused Lin Ran of ignoring the Imperial Advisor's criticisms, showing favoritism towards other women, and wasting time teaching the royal women.
This immediately angered the other women Lin Ran had brought with her. After all, while Bian Mo's status as a princess was indeed noble, did that give a princess the right to rightfully snatch someone away?
Chapter 173 Beauty Pageant
So, for the sake of harmony in the Crystal Palace, Lin Ran gave Bian Mo a small punishment, preventing her from studying for two days. After the punishment, Bian Mo was indeed much more obedient, but she didn't think she was wrong.
Rather, she knew the Imperial Advisor wouldn't side with her, so she behaved herself. "Imperial Advisor brother~"
Bian Mo writhed gracefully in Lin Ran's arms.
As she twisted and turned, somehow the long dress fell onto the floor of the royal carriage.
Lin Ran then began to fulfill his duties as the Imperial Preceptor, teaching Bian Mo how to breathe and exhale large loaves of bread.
The sounds of splashing water and moaning from the garden echoed within the imperial carriage's workshop. This aroused the Qing Shuo Emperor, who was driving the carriage, a mixture of intense itch, profound humiliation, and extreme pleasure.
To be the ruler of a nation, forced to serve as a charioteer for a commoner, and humiliated to listen to his investigation of his own sister's whereabouts—this is an utter disgrace.
Lin Ran was quite pleased. Although he and Bian Mo didn't have any feelings for each other, he couldn't deny that Bian Mo was undeniably beautiful.
Moreover, with his status as a powerful figure, he could have an emperor serve as his groom while he searched for his sister in the emperor's carriage.
Although Bian Mo is not a princess, she is almost like one. After all, the Qunfeng Dynasty currently has no princesses.
Because men are incapable of physical activity, there is only one way to reproduce: sincerely pray for the ability to conceive, and with enough prayer, conception will occur naturally.
Lin Ran guessed that the female body structure in this world was different from that on Earth, allowing them to conceive naturally. The switch for natural conception was that prayer.
Therefore, the offspring of a couple only carry the mother's bloodline, not the father's. Thinking of this, Lin Ran couldn't help but have some bold ideas.
By the time the imperial carriage left the Qingdi Palace, Bian Mo had already experienced several orgasms. Fortunately, the beauty pageant was being held not far from the palace. The scene was very lively; it was rumored that not only many people from the Qunfeng Dynasty had come for this pageant, but even people from the neighboring dynasty had attended. The moment Emperor Qingshuo and Lin Ran appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
The Imperial Guards stood in neat, uniform formations, leaving a conspicuous and wide path in the middle for Lin Ran and his companions.
The three of them walked down the road where the Imperial Guards greeted them, exuding an extraordinary aura. Among them, Lin Ran attracted the most attention.
Many people have seen Emperor Qing Shuo many times and are quite familiar with him.
Lin Ran, the Imperial Advisor, is truly a source of great curiosity. People are eager to know what kind of person could earn such treatment from Emperor Qing Shuo.
Lin Ran's black robe with gold patterns accentuated his noble air. Many people looked at him with sparkling eyes.
The men were hoping to be cuckolded by Lin Ran, while the women simply admired their senior. Bian Mo, who accompanied them, also attracted attention, not because of her status.
Instead of following Emperor Qinglian as a princess, she was being intimately carried by Lin Ran, who was supporting her waist. Her unsteady steps and flushed face were quite suggestive.
The three walked onto the platform, and the beauty pageant host began introducing Lin Ran and Qing Shuo Di's identities. She showered Lin Ran and Qing Shuo Di with compliments, and then the winners of the preliminary rounds came to the stage.
The preliminary selection process involves a comprehensive evaluation using multiple methods, including public voting and professional assessment, to select the ten beauties with the highest scores.
The ten beauties took turns going on stage to introduce themselves, followed by a showcase of their talents. Finally, Lin Ran led them into the Azure Emperor Palace to appreciate their inner qualities.
Then, from the initial impression to the final judgment, they will score the contestants and select a first and second place winner. "The first stunning beauty to appear is—Su Qingyi!"
As the host spoke, the stage curtain slowly opened, and a beautiful figure walked from behind the curtain to the front of the stage.
The girl was dressed in a moon-white dress, with a fresh white jasmine flower beside her, making her look fresh and refined.
"I am Su Qingyi, a native of Changjun County, Nanshan. My daughter is skilled in playing the guqin. I will perform a piece of my own composition for the Imperial Preceptor Muxiahe." Su Qingyi sat down in front of the guqin on the stage and began to play.
The young girl's slender fingers danced across the strings, but the music, unlike her delicate demeanor, possessed a clear and soaring quality, like a roc spreading its wings. It was a sight to behold.
Even though Lin Ran came from the information explosion era of Earth, he couldn't help but applaud when the song ended.
Amidst applause, the young woman finished her thank-you speech and left the stage. The second to enter was a red-haired mature woman with a very attractive figure.
Although she lacked Su Qingyi's clear and pure aura, she possessed a distinctive heroic spirit. With her hair in a high ponytail, she showcased a sword dance as a talent.
Bian Mo, who was in Lin Ran's arms, actually knew this woman and told Lin Ran that she was the eldest daughter of a general's mansion, who usually performed chivalrous deeds in the common people and was very popular.
The sword dance carried a sharp and fierce aura, and Lin Ran realized that this woman had a very strong talent for martial arts; she was already a genuine innate master. The other women behind her also had their own talents and unique characteristics.
There is a famous dancer who dances gracefully in a flowing, colorful gown, and a renowned scholar from a family of scholars who has written masterpieces.
A charming young woman from a modest family presented her embroidered jade brocade, while beauties from other dynasties performed their distinctive dances… After all the performances were over, the beauties were taken by carriage to the Qingdi Palace.
After watching the performance, Lin Ran was too lazy to waste any more time there, so he boarded the imperial carriage and returned to the palace.
These beauties were all sent to the Flame Glass Palace. After returning to the Flame Glass Palace, Lin Ran bathed with them one by one.
The first person to bathe with her was Su Qingyi. Su Qingyi had an exceptionally beautiful appearance, and her pure and stunning beauty was no less than that of a powerful cultivator like Dongfang Yanli.
Lin Ran held her, massaging her up and down while chatting with her. When asked why she participated in the beauty pageant, Su Qing sighed softly.
Just as Lin Ran guessed, this beauty pageant is unlikely to attract many exceptional women.
After all, while the rewards are prestigious and lucrative, most of these women who grow into stunning beauties come from relatively well-off families.
In particular, they all possess certain skills, ensuring they are at least well-off, if not extremely wealthy. Their presence here is largely due to romantic relationships or being brought along by their fathers.
Su Qingyi's family was considered wealthy in their area, and her beauty was renowned far and wide, attracting a constant stream of suitors. Su Qingyi herself did not want to get married, but her father hurriedly arranged a fiancé for her.
