Chapter 119 The Little Princess with a Photographic Memory
No one spoke and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
After a long while, the little girl apologized with a somewhat panicked look in her eyes: "I was too self-righteous. I thought the princess asked me questions with intentions towards me."
"Your Highness, please forgive me for my offense."
Bei Jingchu was a little confused and took a while to react.
It turned out that she was uneducated and had been entangled for too long, making people think that he had no intention of accepting her.
Bei Jingchu was very frank: "No, I haven't started to learn how to write yet, I don't know how to write, so I don't know what to name you."
The little maid's expression froze for a moment, and she obviously didn't expect it to be because of this reason.
Bei Jingchu didn't feel guilty at all. So what if she was uneducated?
Whose two-year-old child wants to be so talented.
Finally, Bei Jingchu lost a lot of hair, and then she thought of a sentence: "The long smoke is gone, and the bright moon is thousands of miles away."
"Then let's call it Haoyue."
The name of the little genius in mechanical engineering that I had been optimistic about before was not very nice, so I gave him the name: "Changyan".
With a reading companion and a personal maid, Bei Jingchu always walked with pride and confidence.
But then came another piece of bad news.
Her free time in Hongwenguan came to an end, and her teacher began to teach her to read.
The teacher first asked, "Can Lord Mo Qing read?"
"Sir, I haven't learned it yet."
The gentleman nodded to show that he understood.
He then asked, "Miss Lei has learned to read, right?"
"Sir, I have known you for two years."
"Okay, then you can play by yourself, but don't make any noise to disturb me."
Bei Jingchu watched intently as Lei Nian'er reached into her own bookcase and took out a storybook.
She opened it and sat aside, reading it leisurely.
When I encountered funny scenes, I held back my laughter and tried hard not to make any sound.
My own hard work is terrible, but the carefree life of my friends is even more chilling.
[No, based on what? ]
Hearing the princess's dissatisfaction, Lei Nian'er became even happier.
The teacher over there started teaching writing.
He demonstrated writing by writing once, and then said to Bei Jingchu: "It is difficult to learn Chinese characters at the beginning. You will definitely not be able to remember them after just reading them once."
"I will write it a few more times. When Your Highness feels that he has memorized it, he can stop."
Having said this, the gentleman picked up his pen and was about to write again.
Before his pen even touched the ground, Bei Jingchu shouted, "Stop."
When the gentleman raised his head, his expression was a little puzzled, and he asked, "Your Highness, did you not understand?"
"Stop when you remember it."
He picked up his pen again and was about to write.
"stop."
When he looked up again, he looked a little angry.
"Your Highness, I have been playing with you for a year, but now is the time to really start learning."
“It’s time to put away the spirit of fun.”
"I told you to wait until you remember it before calling for a stop. Don't tease the gentleman."
"Your Highness may be a princess, but you must still respect your teacher."
Bei Jingchu shrank towards Bei Huan fearfully, "The master is so fierce."
She explained in a low voice: "No sir, I'm not teasing you, I just remember it."
The gentleman sighed.
"I have many students all over the world, but none of them can remember what they have learned after reading it only once."
"The princess is smart, but when it comes to academics, you should still assess your own abilities and not brag."
"Humility is the best way."
Bei Jingchu blinked in confusion, not quite understanding: "But I didn't brag, I really remember it."
The gentleman laughed and handed the pen to her.
"Then Your Highness, please copy it."
"But if Your Highness can't come up with it, you have to write a hundred big characters when you go back."
"The first lesson the teacher will formally teach you is to do things within your ability."
Bei Jingchu nodded obediently and looked like a good kid with a good attitude.
But only Lei Nian'er heard: [I won't copy the book obediently. If I can't do it, I will drag Nian'er to copy it with me.]
Lei Nian'er: ...Actually, sometimes you can forget about me.
Bei Jingchu recalled the teacher's stroke order and started writing with the brush.
In the end, a crooked word was written.
The gentleman picked up the paper and looked at it. Although it was very abstract, he knew that it was true and she really remembered it.
"This... this..."
"Your Highness is indeed smart."
"But just because you remember it now doesn't mean you will always remember it. You still need to practice diligently to avoid forgetting."
Bei Jingchu accepted the instruction and nodded obediently.
[But why do I have a feeling that I will never forget what I have learned? ]
Lei Nian'er's hand paused as she turned the pages of the storybook.
Your Highness is very confident.
When the teacher saw that Bei Jingchu had memorized it, he began to teach the next word.
The next word was written successfully.
The Master then asked, "You remember this, but what about the first one you were taught?"
"Do you remember?"
"Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. Pick one and lose one."
"I studied all day but I don't remember anything."
How can you tolerate this?
Bei Jingchu picked up the pen and wrote the first word he had learned crookedly.
She slapped the paper in front of her husband and raised her little neck proudly.
"I didn't forget!"
The gentleman smiled and praised: "Good, good, I haven't forgotten. Your Highness is smart and clever."
In this way, I taught the new ones while reviewing the previous ones, and half a day passed.
The teacher asked Bei Jingchu: "Your Highness, have you memorized all the 100 words I taught you today?"
Bei Jingchu nodded: "Yes."
"It's still early. The teacher can teach me another hundred. If I finish learning early, I can also read the storybook with Nian'er!"
The gentleman laughed and scolded: "What a success."
At this time, Bei Hua's weak, pitiful and helpless voice came: "Sir, but I haven't remembered it yet."
Bei Jingchu turned her eyes away and saw the child was about to cry.
There was no trace of the dignity and composure that he had when we first met.
"Cousin, which one did you forget? I'm just teaching you!"
Bei Hua pursed her lips and frowned.
"I...I barely remember any of it."
Bei Jingchu:......
gentlemen:......
I'm so sorry. I was so excited when teaching a very smart student that I forgot there was a normal person next to him.
Mr. and Bei Jingchu looked at each other in bewilderment. He said, "What should we do?"
"The Hongwenguan will not allow the imperial heir's studies to be delayed for the sake of companionship."
“No matter how big the gap is between you and others, you can still make up for it with hard work.”
"But His Highness has a photographic memory, and the princess wants to go in and out with His Highness, so it will be difficult to catch up."
My little cousin’s head was almost hanging to the ground, and it looked like she was hit hard.
How could Bei Jingchu bear to see her beautiful sister like this?
She suggested, "How about my cousin not going to the Yanchi Palace in the afternoon and continuing to learn Chinese characters in the Hongwen Hall?"
Bei Hua hesitated and said, "Is this okay? Won't Concubine Kong Xian be angry?"
