Liu Tan looked up at Liu Che, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's... an idea I just came up with. I've opened a school, and no one knows if the students are studying hard, so I plan to verify it through examinations. A quiz is a test set after the teacher's class to determine the students' grasp of the knowledge. It can be held at any time, depending on the teacher's mood."
Although he had initially made up his mind, Liu Tan's thoughts became increasingly clear as he continued to explain, "Monthly exams are held every month. Final exams are held at the end of the school year. Mock exams are...simulations of entrance exams. As for the entrance exams...I haven't thought it through completely yet, but I have a rough idea."
I couldn't make up Liu Tan's entrance exam. I had no choice. I could make up anything else, but the Imperial Academy was already the most prestigious institution in the Northern Territory. How much higher could I possibly go to? So I had to be vague about it.
Liu Che laughed after hearing this. He felt that Liu Tan was bringing all his experiences here, intending to let those students also feel the fear of being dominated by exams.
But there are some things that cannot be revealed even if both parties know it.
Because there is no benefit, Liu Che knows that Liu Tan will definitely not tell everything about the fairy world. If he really reveals it, it will only make things difficult for the child. What if the child runs back in excitement?
So it’s good like this now. Liu Tan is confused and often lets things slip.
If Liu Che was not afraid of what would be bad for Liu Tan's health, he would really like to get Liu Tan drunk again. Maybe he could find out more.
After Liu Tan finished his nonsense, he saw Liu Che looking at him with indulgence, which frightened him so much that he had to change the subject and asked, "Father, do you want to stay here for two days or go back?"
"Let's go back. The weather is getting a bit hot."
Although the Northern Border is not that hot, it is only slightly lower than the temperature in Chang'an. However, the sunlight here is relatively strong, so it is still very hot when it should be hot.
Liu Tan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make you some ice cream when I get home."
When Liu Che heard this, he knew that this was probably something new to eat. He couldn't help but feel curious for a moment, and immediately set off to rush back.
After returning, Liu Tan asked someone to bring shaved ice.
The crystal clear glass bowl paired with white smoothie and brightly colored jam really looks appetizing.
Speaking of jam, in fact, after making jam from any fruit, the color is not particularly good-looking, as if it has faded.
Liu Tan had no choice but to start using various food colorings. For example, boiling peach peels in water and then mixing it with jam could add some pink, but it was limited.
At this time, the original color of brown sugar can enhance the color of the jam, so Liu Tan simply did not use white sugar to make jam.
Liu Che took a spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth. The jam was sweet and sour, and the smoothie was refreshing but not too much. Everything was just right.
Liu Che looked at the delicate smoothie and smiled, "I'm afraid it has been prepared a long time ago?"
Liu Tan immediately said, "How can that be? Of course it's made fresh."
Liu Che raised an eyebrow. It's not easy to make smoothie this fine. How long would it take to chisel it by hand? How could it be made in time?
As if seeing Liu Che's confusion, Liu Tan asked someone to bring the ice shaver that had been made earlier, and also brought a lot of ice.
Liu Che was very interested in the shaved ice machine, especially because its appearance was so cute, which made him like it even more.
Liu Tan came over to him and demonstrated to him how to use the shaved ice machine. As the fine smoothie gradually filled the glass bowl below, Liu Che's childishness was aroused.
Seeing that he was addicted to the game, Liu Tan leaned over the table, his eyes looking upwards, appearing even rounder. He smiled and asked, "Father, is this fun?"
It is very fun. There are not many things to play with these days, otherwise Liu Che would not have been so happy to play with the siphon toilet.
He made three bowls of smoothies in a row. Liu Tan stared at him, worried that he would eat too much and it would be bad for his health.
Fortunately, Liu Che just liked to play, and he knew that he should not eat too much of such cold things.
After Liu Che had had enough fun, Liu Tan muttered, "I'll have a few older ones sent to Chang'an later so that the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness can cool down a bit."
Liu Che raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Not counting your seventh brother?"
After hearing this, Liu Tan was confused for a moment and almost blurted out: Who is the seventh brother?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and remembered that this seventh brother was his father's new little son. He had previously used this child to advertise Dunhuang jade.
After remembering it, he immediately smiled and said, "Seventh brother is still young, his spleen and stomach are delicate, and he can't stand the cold."
Liu Che snorted lightly: "That's considerate."
Liu Tan was a little confused. What was going on?
He scratched his head, thinking of the crystal house he had built a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile: "If your Majesty is bored, I will take you to a nice place."
Liu Che raised his eyebrows: "What a good place."
Liu Tan stood up and said with a smile, "Father, please follow me."
Liu Che didn't ask any more questions, just stood up and followed Liu Tan.
Halfway through the walk, I saw that they were heading to Kokura Pond and something dawned on me.
He knew about the glass house incident. His son never hid anything from the Embroidered Robe Envoy, so Liu Che found out about it within a few days after Liu Tan and Lu Xuan went to the glass house to play on the first day.
He was curious at the time, but due to his busy schedule, he quickly put it out of his mind.
Now he followed Liu Tan step by step towards the rockery, watched him open a door on the rockery, and then walked down little by little.
Although the passage was lit by torches, it was still very dark. In addition, one could faintly hear the sound of flowing water and smell the dampness.
If you didn't know there was a hidden world inside, you would probably think it was a scene from some strange story.
However, when the stone door at the end was opened, the eyes were dazzled. All he saw was green, the plants in the glass house, the clear pool water with a slightly green hue outside the glass, and the faint light formed by the sunlight shining through the water. Even though Liu Che had known about the existence of such a place for a long time, he couldn't help but think that he had come to a real Crystal Palace.
The magnificent scenery before him left Liu Che speechless for a moment. As a person with good literary literacy since childhood, and even his poems could be passed down for thousands of years, this was the first time he realized that when beauty reached a certain level, no adjectives could describe it.
The glass house that Liu Tan built for Liu Che was much more technologically advanced than the previous one. And because of the glass blowing technology, the roof beasts were also made of transparent glass, which could faintly reflect some light underwater.
It was different from the last arrangement for Lu Xuan, as this glass house was slightly larger. Liu Tan even separated it into a dining room and a lounge.
There was still a swing in the lounge, and because it was spring and summer, he even had some butterflies brought in.
Liu Che walked to the glass and carefully reached out to touch it, as if he was afraid of breaking it.
The glass was cold to the touch, and the light from the rippling water reflected on my hands like light fish swimming.
And at this time, Liu Che saw many colorful fish.
He was not unfamiliar with these fish. They were all colorful carp, and there were many of them in the warehouses and ponds of the Weiyang Palace.
The feeling of watching from the shore is completely different from watching underwater. You can see more clearly how flexible these fish are in the water. Some fish will even come over curiously and look inside through the glass, and at this time you can see the patterns on the fish's bodies more clearly.
For Liu Che, this experience was too fresh.
He smiled and said, "It seems to be a lot cooler underwater."
Liu Tan thought about it and decided not to "deceive the king". He pointed to the ice basin in the corner and said, "It's cool not because of the water, but because of the ice."
In fact, there is not much ventilation here, and people may feel stuffy even if it is not too hot. They will only feel comfortable when the temperature drops.
After walking around and looking around for a long time, Liu Che finally felt a little tired, but after he sat down, he started staring at Liu Tan's back for a long time.
Liu Tan subconsciously looked behind him - there was no one else except Bi Gao who came down to serve him.
His father's gaze didn't seem to be focused on Bigao either. Liu Tan's hair stood on end instantly, thinking that Liu Che had seen something. He couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Father, what are you looking at?"
Liu Che retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "I'm looking to see if you have a tail."
Liu Tan: ????
Liu Che is different from Lu Xuan. He is even more curious than Lu Xuan.
When Lu Xuan entered the glass house, he felt Liu Tan's love for him. His heart was filled with happiness and he didn't think about anything else.
But after Liu Che was intrigued by the new thing, he felt that although this glass house was far from the scale of the Crystal Palace he had imagined, the real Crystal Palace should look like this, at most a little bigger.
As for the door...it must be because they are all mortals, so it was modified like this.
Liu Che thought that unless he had seen such a place, how could anyone make such an exquisite crystal house?
Not to mention glass, there is always crystal. It is indeed a bit extravagant to build a house with crystal, but not to mention the princes, even some wealthy people can do it. Those people's daily lives are already extravagant, so how could they not be able to build such a house?
But no one has ever thought of building such a house underwater, because no one has ever seen it and therefore cannot imagine it.
So Liu Che started to think about whether his son was originally a water monster?
Liu Tan had no idea what Liu Che was thinking. When he heard him ask if he had a tail, he didn't know what expression to use. He could only say expressionlessly, "You and the Queen Mother don't have one, so naturally, I don't have one either."
Liu Che chuckled lightly and did not pursue the matter too much. He just said, "What is going to be revealed will be revealed sooner or later."
Liu Tan: The emperor’s thought process seems to be really different from that of ordinary people.
