Chapter 123: Not a Human Being
"Your Highness, the force should penetrate the back of the paper, not pierce the back of the paper."
"Take it easy."
Bei Jingchu scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "I'll try my best."
In the end, he was forced to practice calligraphy.
Under normal circumstances, the academic status of the royal heir would not be reported voluntarily unless the emperor asked.
But the gentleman felt that the eldest princess's case was too special.
It's simply not at the human level.
The gentleman went to see the dean, who took him to see him as the chief priest.
The chief priest disagreed: "Your Highness's studies are certainly important, but the Hongwenguan is to help Your Majesty share the education of your children."
"If the princes and princesses have to go to His Majesty for everything, then what is the use of our Hongwenguan?"
"Princess, let's solve it ourselves if we can."
"By the way, Master Sun, what happened to the princess's studies? Why do you have to look for His Majesty when you are so calm?"
Master Sun said, "Your Highness started learning to read two months ago."
The chief priest lifted the tea lid and skimmed off the tea foam.
"I know that."
"Now your Highness has learned everything."
There was a sound of "ding-dong".
The tea lid fell on the tea bowl, shaking it twice.
"What did you say? What do you mean by finished understanding?"
Master Sun said calmly: "I have already recognized all the characters in the primer. If the characters are not too ugly, I can go to the main hall."
He really has never seen the world. Look how calm he is, and how much of a master he is.
The chief priest slowly opened his mouth.
After a long while, he finally uttered, "This, this matter must be reported to His Majesty."
"But are you sure? It only took two months to recognize it."
"If you exaggerate, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Master Sun assured silently: "It has already been learned a long time ago, but I was afraid that the princess had not learned it well, so I must let her review it again."
"Your Highness is indeed a gifted man. Don't disbelieve it just because you haven't seen it before."
Master Sun spoke nonchalantly, as if he was not the one who was shocked at first.
However, Master Sun was very sad because Jijiu still looked doubtful. Was his words really unreliable?
The chief priest explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, sir, it's just that what you said is too unbelievable."
"It would be better to confirm it before reporting to His Majesty."
He followed the teacher to Zhitang.
Bei Jingchu was trying hard to concentrate on copying and practicing calligraphy.
The teacher said that those who can pass the imperial examination and become an official, apart from other things, have exceptionally neat handwriting.
Because the emperor did not have the patience to recognize their unique handwriting on each memorial.
Master Sun himself has his own style in writing, but when he wrote a formal memorial, Bei Jingchu was shocked.
My goodness, is this a printer that has become a spirit?
It turns out that humans can really cultivate themselves into printers.
Bei Jingchu herself admits that her current handwriting is ugly.
Although she is confident, she also has a sense of aesthetics.
She was embarrassed by her own handwriting.
But after practicing for a whole morning and writing slowly and carefully, at least people can recognize what I wrote.
She felt like someone was looking at her, and when she looked up, it turned out to be the principal. No, it's called the chief priest here.
"Good libation!"
"Your Highness, I heard from Master Sun that Your Highness has learned all the characters?"
Bei Jingchu shook her head.
The chief priest glanced at Master Sun.
You old man, you start bragging too.
He said that it was incredible that he could learn all the words in just two months.
It's impossible.
At this time, the eldest princess said, "How is it possible to recognize all the words in the world at once?"
"Even if you learn all the words in those enlightenment books, there will always be unfamiliar words."
The libation chief turned his neck stiffly.
"What did your highness just say?"
"You mean you finished it in two months?"
"What else? Do I have to study for many months?" After saying this, Bei Jing felt something was wrong.
Looking to the side, Bei Hua, who had been silent all the time, put down her pen and stopped working, looking at her with a face full of grievance.
Oh, I'm sorry, cousin.
It wasn't intentional at first.
The chief priest looked unconvinced, so he asked Bei Jingchu to hand her enlightenment book to her.
I started to randomly check the words on there and asked Bei Jingchu to write them out.
Half an hour later...
"Jijiu, can you please do this? If you keep writing, I will finish this book soon."
The chief priest was silent.
He closed the book, returned it to Bei Jingchu, and walked out in a daze.
Master Sun followed after him.
The chief priest pulled him aside and sighed, "What a wicked man!"
"I will write a memorial right now. I must report such a big matter to His Majesty."
After returning, he shook his head with regret as he wrote.
If this rare genius were a prince, he would have come to the emperor to seek refuge right now.
Unless she has no ambition, who can compete with her?
What a pity. What a pity.
He took out the memorial, his hands were shaking as he held the pen, unable to conceal his excited heart.
As a teacher, having a student who is extremely intelligent is something worth being excited about.
So when the emperor was having trouble reviewing memorials, he came across this book.
The expression on his face instantly changed from gloomy to bright.
Even laughed out loud.
So much so that when Bei Jingchu returned to Xuanshi Hall for dinner in the evening, she was shocked to see his smile.
Aye's tone was unbelievably gentle: "Chu Chu~"
"Are you tired~"
"Come, come and sit down. Aye asked the kitchen to prepare all your favorite dishes."
"Also, haven't you been eyeing my six-panel gauze screen for a long time? Aye will give it to you."
"You can go to my private storehouse and pick out a few more things you like. Aye will give them to you~"
The more he talked, the more scared Bei Jingchu became.
The words were so soft that Bei Jingchu got goosebumps all over her body.
She sat down obediently with her hands in her tucked away, her back straight.
I was so flustered and my little head was in a mess.
【Wuwuwu, has Aye been taken away? 】
[Why is it that you are like a different person? No! ]
[Although Aye is a bitch, he is really nice. 】
[Or, is this my last supper? ]
[Does this mean I’ll be on my way after this meal? ]
[I didn’t do anything bad.]
[I just boiled tea eggs with Aya's tea. Tea eggs boiled with expensive tea seem to be more fragrant than ordinary tea. ]
[I don’t know if it’s just my psychology, or…]
Bei Jingchu didn't know that her little secret had been heard, and she was still mumbling to herself.
Behen: ...
What a pleasant surprise.
This kind of thing was not within the scope of the secret guards' reports, so he really didn't know about it.
As Bei Jingchu's mind became more and more full of wild thoughts, the emperor's smile gradually disappeared and turned into his usual sour face.
Bei Jingchu breathed a sigh of relief.
[It tastes right, this is normal, Aye. 】
After eating, when Bei Jingchu was wiping his mouth, Aye asked, "I have been consuming tea faster than before recently. I thought I drank too much."
"But it seems someone has found out that it was a little thief."
