Yun Beiye helped Yun Duoduo stand on his lap.

"See that? My daughter can stand up by herself now!"

"As expected of my daughter, she is truly outstanding!"

"Mother is right, my daughter is indeed extraordinary!" Yun Beiye looked at Yun Duoduo and became more and more delighted, praising her without stopping.

Yun Duoduo's face flushed slightly from the praise.

"A generous reward!"

Yun Beiye slapped his thigh, "You all deserve credit for taking care of the little princess. Zhao Zhongquan, reward him!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!" The palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies in Fushuang Palace knelt down to express their gratitude, their faces beaming with joy.

...

The news that Yun Duoduo could talk quickly spread throughout the palace.

In the evening, Yun Duoduo's three royal brothers came to Fu Shuang Palace to see her and read her stories.

"Duoduo, what story do you want to hear?" The eldest prince, Yun Yibo, held a thick stack of storybooks in his arms and let Yun Duoduo choose.

"Duoduo, I want to hear a rural love story," Yun Duoduo said in her childish voice.

"Country Love?" Yun Yibo scratched his head. "How about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"

He didn't quite understand what "Country Love Story" meant.

[Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai? Eldest brother, are you sure this is a rural love story? 1]

"Elder brother, those storybooks of yours are likely to lead your younger sister astray. From now on, your younger sister can speak, so it's time for her to start reciting poems." Yun Yizhong interrupted Yun Yibo, who had just started reading a story.

[Second brother, you're something else! I'm only one year old! And you're already making me recite poems?!]

[At least let me have two more years of leisure! Nine years of compulsory education only starts from age six to eight, but you're really starting from such a young age!]

"Yes, Second Brother is right. We can't let our Imperial Sister be like Third Brother, who is all he does now, all he does is eat and can't even write a complete poem."

"The third brother is uneducated; it's really embarrassing to talk about him."

"You can't get by without education!"

"Yes, my dear sister, we must strive to improve ourselves and learn more about culture," Yun Yibo said earnestly, patting Yun Duoduo's head as he finished speaking.

"Eldest brother, second brother, how can you speak like that?!" Yun Yishu pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Your cultural knowledge isn't much better, is it? Besides looking at picture books, can you even recite poetry, eldest brother?!"

"Third brother, we're addressing the issue, not the person, and we're just stating the facts."

"You have to compare it with the good ones, you can't just compare it with the bad ones!"

Yun Duoduo raised an eyebrow as she listened to her brothers' argument.

Speaking of classical Chinese poetry, it's no challenge for her. Back in school, her teachers made her memorize 300 Tang poems, and during her nine years of compulsory education, she gradually memorized more Tang poems, Song lyrics, and Yuan songs.

What I'm saying is that Yun Duoduo is very confident in her literary skills.

[Well, I just don't know if the classical poems here are the same ones she learned in school. If there's a big difference, that would be tragic.]

The hardships I endured in school, I'll have to go through again.

"Yes, yes, you can learn with Duoduo."

Yun Yishu pursed his lips. He had no intention of memorizing poems! In his opinion, some poems were just piling up fancy words and rambling on without any real purpose. He would rather spend that time earning a few more taels of silver to buy some food.

"Second brother, come and teach your sister some poems." Yun Yibo put the storybook aside. He agreed with Yun Yizhong's words. Quality education should start from childhood. We should strive to improve her cultural knowledge and not let the evil capitalism poison his lovely and intelligent sister.

"Ahem." Yun Yizhong cleared his throat.

Yun Yizhong looked at the dark sky outside the window, thought of a poem, and said, "I left Baidi City amidst the colorful clouds at dawn, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in a single day."

"The monkeys' cries on both banks could not stop the light boat from passing through ten thousand mountains." Yun Duoduo immediately picked up where Yun Yizhong left off.

If she said it wasn't intentional, but just a muscle reaction and a test-taking response, would anyone believe her?

But she was very familiar with the poem "Departing from Baidi City at Dawn".

Without much thought, the verses that were already in her mind just came out.

Is it appropriate for a baby girl under one year old to be able to recite poems?!

Yun Duoduo stuck out her tongue and turned her head away from looking at her dumbfounded brothers.

[It's unbearable to look at.]

"Did you hear that?" Yun Yibo asked after a long pause.

"Listen, listen, I heard it." Yun Yishu swallowed, trying to calm his shock.

"Am I dreaming?" Yun Yibo rubbed his eyes.

It was all just a dream, but I'm still deeply moved when I wake up.

Yun Yizhong was also somewhat surprised and didn't react for a moment.

[My little sister can compose poetry at such a young age?!]

Yun Duoduo turned her head guiltily to look at her brothers, feeling a little confused. The dynasty she had transmigrated to was not in history, but a fictional era. Yet, there was a poem called "Departing from Baidi City at Dawn" here. Could it be that Li Bai was here? Or did Li Bai exist in the history of this time and space? Or did someone else write a poem similar to Li Bai's?

Yun Duoduo couldn't understand it for a moment. And what about the Journey to the West that her eldest brother had read before? Could Wu Cheng'en be here too?

Li Bai lived during the Tang Dynasty, while Wu Cheng'en lived during the Ming Dynasty; the time span between these two is quite large.

Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing...

Or is it that there was no Li Bai or Wu Cheng'en here at all, but rather someone else created a similar work?

"Second brother, quickly memorize another one!"

Yun Yibo's words interrupted Yun Duoduo's thoughts. She shook her head and said, "Never mind, these things are not important for now!"

Yun Yizhong originally disliked Yun Yibo calling him "Second Brother," but at this moment he was in shock and didn't pay attention to Yun Yibo's way of addressing him.

“The city walls guard the three Qin regions,” Yun Yizhong said the next line when he saw that Yun Duoduo did not react.

"Looking out over the Five Rivers amidst the smoke and mist."

At first, Yun Duoduo tried to control herself and not recite the poems, so as not to appear like a monster in other people's eyes.

However, upon hearing these magnificent verses, her blood surged, and the countless nights she had spent reading by lamplight and the countless mornings she had spent swaying her head in verse stirred her very being.

She had never seen the sun at four in the morning.

However, she had been doing morning reading sessions at 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. for several years.

Listening to these poems, she felt a little itchy.

Why not experience the joy of open-book exams?

She couldn't care less about anything else. After all, only her few brothers knew that she could recite poems, and no one would believe it if she told others. She might as well indulge herself tonight!

"Elder brother, did we hear wrong? Look, my sister isn't reacting."

"One more song."

"I see no predecessors before me, nor successors after me." After Yun Yizhong finished speaking, the others tensed up and waited.

"Gazing upon the vastness of heaven and earth, I am overwhelmed with sorrow and tears stream down my face," Yun Duoduo uttered in her childish voice.
