The titles of the Tiandou Empire are divided into four types: Duke, Marquis, Bozi, and below the emperor, the duke is the largest, and the kings of each priest are actually dukes.

Among these four types of titles, the Count can have their own fiefdoms and enjoy great power. Moreover, in this era of dispersed power, one lord was almost equivalent to a local king and enjoyed 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 fiefdom. Although Qi Ling had experienced a lot of things, it was the first time he became a lord on one side, so he still felt that it was quite new to this.

Under Ning Rongrong's leadership, they passed through the block of Tiandou City and came to the palace. As the daughter of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Lilac Sect, the guards in the palace were naturally very familiar with her. After all, Ning Fengzhi was the most important ally of the Tiandou Empire, and his status was beyond imagination.

"Oh? Brother Qi Ling, Rongrong?" Not long after walking in the palace, Qi Ling and the others actually met the prince Xue Qinghe. After seeing the two, Xue Qinghe immediately came forward to welcome him enthusiastically.

"Your Highness, Gui'an." Ning Rongrong didn't dare to be too presumptuous when he saw Xue Qinghe. After all, the other party was the crown prince, and it also represented the majesty of a country.

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

Ning Rongrong lowered his head slightly and said, "How can that be done? It is precisely because my father is the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the etiquette between the king and the minister cannot be abolished, otherwise wouldn't it cause gossip among others."

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

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, for some reason, when Qi Ling saw him, he always felt a strong sense of incongruity, but he could not find a reason.

This feeling came from inexplicably and had no basis at all, so Qi Ling could only attribute it to his sixth sense, which also shows that he actually distrusts the crown prince from the bottom of his heart.

After the three of them met Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi happened to be present, and obviously they were waiting for Qi Ling here.

When Emperor Xueye seemed very happy to see Qi Ling. After some praise, he announced the reward for Qi Ling. In addition to the previous agreements, Emperor Xueye specially promoted Qi Ling's title to one level and became a marquis. He is the youngest marquis in the history of the Tiandou Empire.

"In addition, given Qi Ling's excellent teaching ability, I specially appointed you as Princess Xue Ke's teaching teacher. Are you willing?" asked Emperor Xue Ye.

In fact, Qi Ling was not willing to do this, because in the past six months, he has known that the hard work of being a teacher is completely unsuitable for his free and casual personality.

However, Qi Ling didn't intuitively refuse the emperor's request, so he said tactfully: "Your Majesty, I am a little ignorant and far less than the education committees of the Education Committee, so I am afraid that I will delay the princess's studies. I still..."

"Hahaha, Qi Ling, it's so great. The three education committees who recommended you to me are the three education committees. They promised me confidently that if Xue Ke is handed over to you, you will definitely succeed in learning. Don't refuse." Emperor Xueye said with a smile.

Qi Ling suddenly felt extremely depressed. Although these three old men were probably thinking about themselves, they recommended themselves to Emperor Xueye, but they didn't want to do this job.

"But, Your Majesty, I am still inexperienced in teaching, and I am afraid I cannot teach according to my aptitude. I don't know if I can train Princess Xue Ke to become a talent..."

"Hahaha, no need to worry too much, Qi Ling, I have confidence in you! What's more, as a princess, Xue Ke only needs to grow up with knowledge and knowledge, so you don't have to be under any pressure." Emperor Xue Ye continued.

At this point, Qi Ling understood clearly. Because the prince had been established, Emperor Xueye didn't care at all about what Princess Xue Ke could learn, and there were even some women who had no talent and had virtue.

The reason why Qi Ling was asked to be Xue Ke's teacher was that he had to win him over. Even if he could recruit Qi Ling as his son-in-law, he would be very happy compared to Emperor Xue Ye.

All of them have made Emperor Xueye say this. If Qi Ling doesn't agree, no one will come to Taiwan. After all, to be honest, Emperor Xueye is still good to him and is trying to win over him in every way, he can be regarded as a respectful and polite person.

So helplessly, Qi Ling had to agree to become Princess Xue Ke's teacher. Fortunately, teaching a student is better than teaching a group of students.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Emperor Xueye smiled, "Rongrong, I remember that your relationship with Xue Ke seems to be good, right? Since that's the case, take this opportunity to take Qi Ling to see Xue Ke. I have something to talk to your father."

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

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

After coming to the back garden, they soon saw Princess Xue Ke, surrounded by a kind of servant, who was painting seriously against a peach tree.

"Oh, I'm tired of drawing these flowers and trees every day!" Princess Xue Ke sighed and complained, "Is there nothing perfect in this world that can make me excited? If I could find something like that, my painting skills would definitely improve quickly."

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

"Sister Rongrong! Are you here?" Xue Ke heard Ning Rongrong's voice, and immediately put down his brush 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 has to be called Ning Rongrong's sister. The two have been like sisters since childhood and can say anything.

"Sorry, Xue Ke, I have always had something to do, so I didn't come to find you." Ning Rongrong said, holding Xue Ke's hand and said to her with a smile.

Xue Ke was happy when she heard Ning Rongrong's words, but suddenly saw Qi Ling standing behind her. Her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, stood there blankly, and a red glow appeared on her little face.

"Sister Rongrong, Sister Rongrong, who is he?" Xue Ke hurriedly asked Ning Rongrong in a low voice, and at the same time, he secretly peeked at Qi Ling.
