The Imperial Tutor (Female-Dominated World)

Gong Qing, the Imperial Preceptor, is the eldest legitimate son of the Gong family. Dressed all in white, he catches the eye of countless noblewomen in the capital. He entered the government at sixteen and watched, step by step, as the future empress ascended from Crown Princess to the throne. But when the empress turned sixteen, he realized that his feelings had become improper. How could the dignified Imperial Preceptor shamelessly entertain thoughts of His Majesty? He kept silent, hiding his shameful, unspeakable feelings in the deepest corner of his heart. At the Lantern Festival palace banquet, he watched the empress from a hidden spot, while she, unaware of his gaze, smiled with peach-blossom eyes that always settled on the noble young men. Su has a fine waist. Zhao is lovely and graceful. Rong is well versed in music and always gentle. Gong Qing came up behind Ying Sheng. Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he said in a steady voice, "Your Majesty is neglecting the affairs of state. How can you spend all your time thinking about the bedchamber?" The empress turned to him, surprise and amusement filling her peach-blossom eyes. Perhaps the lanterns that night were simply too brilliant, their glow too striking on the beauty's face. The empress reached out and stroked his chin. Her red lips drew close to his ear, her voice warm with affectionate laughter as she teased, "Ensuring the Zhou dynasty has heirs is also an important affair of state. Why don't you teach me first, Imperial Preceptor?" Gong Qing's heart skipped a beat. His mind went blank, and from then on he could never extricate himself from this doomed affair. Only much later did he understand that the empress had merely made an offhand joke when she said those words. From beginning to end, he was the only one who took them seriously.
