Chapter 346 Marriage Education
He began to wonder in his heart, this little girl looked weak and fragile, but also quite fierce.
Liu Ji didn't have any other thoughts, he just thought that the little girl behind the empress dowager was quite cute.
Lu Zhi didn't like this frivolous man. The Queen Mother came to see her off and at most brought Mr. Zhang with her. What did she have to do with this scoundrel?
He clearly wanted to get close to the Queen Mother.
Lu Zhi guessed right. Liu Ji was indeed trying to get close to the Queen Mother.
Although the Empress Dowager was not as powerful as the Emperor, she was still someone who had a say in front of the Emperor.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "Work hard. I hope to see you in the palace later."
The three of them saluted Zhao Yuanxi together.
Zhao Yuanxi watched them go in and was about to go back when he saw the two little guys acting suspiciously out of the corner of his eye.
Zhao Yuanxi blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken. He quickly walked over and grabbed them by the scruff of their necks. "Why are you here?"
Fusu and Ziying immediately stood up straight, hesitating and not daring to speak.
Zhao Yuanxi pinched the small bags they were carrying and asked in surprise, "Are you planning to take part in this exam too?"
Fusu and Ziying were panicked for a moment. After calming down, Fusu stood up and explained, "We just want to know how we compare to others."
"If you want to go, just go. Why are you doing it secretly?" Zhao Yuanxi smiled.
There is no age or gender restriction for this exam. As long as you can read and write, you can take the exam. It doesn't matter if Fusu and Ziying come here to give it a try.
Zhao Yuanxi checked the things they brought with them and found that they were quite well prepared.
Ziying was quite proud. "I asked Sister Lu for advice on this. We've prepared everything she prepared! There won't be anything missing!"
There's also the story of Lü Zhi! It seems the little ones really do have their own little secrets!
Zhao Yuanxi patted their shoulders and said, "Go ahead! If you two don't pass the final exam, I'll definitely punish you when we get back!"
"Grandmother, that's unfair! We heard everything you said to Sister Lu!"
Why is it okay for Sister Lu to fail the exam, but they will be punished if they fail?
"So what? Another lesson in life is to know that nothing in this world is absolutely fair." Zhao Yuanxi grabbed Ziying's ear and said, "Since you two are going to take the exam, you must take it seriously. If you are just here to have fun, then go back and be the princes of Qin."
Seeing his mother's serious expression, Ziying couldn't help but become honest. "I know, I know! We will take the exam seriously!"
For Fusu and Ziying, this is just a game, but for others, it is an opportunity that will determine their future destiny.
The exam lasts three days.
Three days later, Zhao Yuanxi and his men were waiting for them at the door.
When Fusu and Ziying came out, they looked very bad and listless, but their eyes lit up when they saw Zhao Yuanxi.
Ziying ran up to her excitedly and gave her a hug.
Zhao Yuanxi wanted to hug him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
After three days, Ziying smelled a little and his hair was messy. Looking at Fusu, except that his hair looked neater than Ziying's, he was not much better.
Sensing his grandmother's dislike, Ziying sniffed his own scent, wrinkled his nose, and looked back at Fusu, "Brother, I stink, do you stink too?"
Fusu also couldn't stand the smell on his body. For the past three days, they had eaten, drank, defecated and urinated in the same room. It would be strange if he didn't have any smell on his body.
He pursed his lips slightly, a little embarrassed, "Well, let's go back to the palace quickly!"
Zhao Yuanxi chuckled. The two of them were still polite people. "Wait a little longer for your sister Lu Zhi."
When Lu Zhi came out, she didn't look very good, but she looked more respectable than the people around her. At least her clothes and hair were neat.
"You've been working hard these past few days. Go back and have a good rest."
Lu Zhi nodded and deliberately kept a distance from the Queen Mother.
Zhao Yuanxi knew what she was thinking, but didn't care too much. After taking them back to the palace, he asked someone to boil water for them to take a bath.
After washing, there were three sweet-smelling children, each more beautiful than the other.
In the past one or two years, Ziying has grown a lot, and the fat on his body has also been reduced a lot. You can faintly see the grace of the Ying family. However, the baby fat on his face has not completely disappeared. The half-grown boy has a baby face that always makes people want to pinch it.
Fusu looked exactly like his father. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he was as tall as Zhao Yuanxi. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, black eyebrows, and slanting hair. He had the elegance and grace of a gentleman, as well as the awe-inspiring majesty of a crown prince.
As for Lu Zhi, she could already be called a girl. She looked like a newly grown bamboo in early spring, tough yet tender. Her jet-black hair was tied up with an ebony hairpin, making her look like one of the ladies in ancient paintings, beautiful yet not eye-catching.
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but feel proud. Look at the child she raised, how beautiful and energetic!
In a few years, they will be old enough to get married.
Zhao Yuanxi thought to herself, if that were the case, would she become a great-grandmother?
She shook her head and dismissed this somewhat scary idea. They were still children themselves!
Fusu and Ziying didn't have to worry, as Lu Zhi was indeed of marriageable age.
Zhao Yuanxi lectured them sternly, "You're all grown up now. I have to warn you about some things in advance. Before you turn eighteen, you're not allowed to talk about getting married."
"Especially you, Chi'er! You are not allowed to marry young!"
Qin men could get married at the age of fifteen and women at the age of thirteen. In Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, this was simply letting two children play house!
Early marriage for boys would at most affect their fertility, but if a woman got pregnant during her early marriage, it could very well be her death! Especially with the medical conditions of ancient times, getting pregnant and having a child was like walking through the gates of hell!
This is too dangerous!
Upon hearing this, Fusu's face turned slightly red. As the crown prince, although he had no experience in matters between men and women, he knew some things. Not long ago, his wet nurse mentioned this to him, but he used the excuse that he was still young to fool her.
Lu Zhi was the oldest and knew more about the matter. Her face flushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "Okay."
Only Ziying looked confused, not understanding why the two were blushing. Isn't marriage just about a man and a woman being together? He didn't want to get married. He wanted to be with his mother forever. "Don't worry! Mother, I will never get married!"
Zhao Yuanxi knocked him on the head, "I mean you can't get married before you turn eighteen."
It’s wrong to get married, and it’s wrong not to get married! The adult world is so complicated! Ziying couldn’t help but sigh!
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help laughing when he saw his silly look, thinking that he was really just a child, and he didn't know when he would see him grow up.
