A Christmas story, a short and sweet fic.
The Chu family's Grand Tutor knows three thousand years of history, has read the Analects and the Spring and Autumn Annals from cover to cover, and has explored astronomy and geography. He teaches the emperor how to govern and command his subjects.
The Wang family's Grand Tutor can hit a target from a hundred paces, tread on snow without leaving a trace, and wield his sword so skillfully that no one remains standing after ten steps, nor alive after a thousand miles. He is also an expert in the occult arts and military formations.
One is a scholar, the other a warrior. Like cats and dogs, they are natural enemies.
