After hearing what Princess Xiyan said, the eldest prince and the second prince left and went to check on Concubine Ji's current situation.
After some twists and turns, the two did find out something.
——A day ago, the Queen Mother actually issued an imperial decree, appointing Concubine Ji to come to the study and personally guide their studies!
Not to mention how knowledgeable Lady Ji is, how could a woman enter the upper study?
Doesn’t this overturn thousands of years of rules and etiquette?
Even if she really has the potential, it is difficult to change the world's mindset. In the world's mindset, women should stay in their rooms, take care of their husbands and raise their children.
If this matter were known to the world, who knows how they would fabricate it.
This is obviously not good for the reputation of the princes.
The two were horrified and wanted to ask the emperor to come forward and revoke this ridiculous decision.
Unexpectedly, after reporting the matter to the emperor, the emperor also agreed with the queen's suggestion.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The emperor stood behind the desk, raised his eyes slightly, and stared at the two of them in a very intimidating manner.
His eyes swept across the two princes, as if he wanted to see through their thoughts.
He asked in a deep voice, "You mean, you want me to come forward and refute your mother's will?"
"Why, your mother's words don't count?"
Inside the spacious room, the emperor's voice echoed in the air, striking at everyone's heart.
The two princes were startled and quickly knelt down together, saying respectfully: "Father, please understand! We, your sons, would never dare to have such an idea."
The emperor didn't care. He picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and practiced calligraphy with calm concentration.
The brush moved across the rice paper, leaving behind smooth traces of ink.
“Not daring doesn’t mean not wanting to,” he said.
"As a prince, you must not only be filial but also have the courage to take responsibility."
"Since you don't want to obey the Queen's order, then find a way to solve it yourself."
The superior said calmly, "Noble Lady Ji is blessed with great fortune. I feel that it is unfair to let Noble Lady Ji teach you."
The emperor's pen tip paused slightly on the rice paper, then he gently retracted it, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
There is only one big word on the white rice paper - "Quiet".
This word seems to contain endless power, revealing a tranquil and deep atmosphere.
The chief eunuch carefully observed the emperor's expression. When he saw the emperor nod with satisfaction, he complimented him, "Your Majesty's handwriting today is particularly peaceful and powerful."
The emperor smiled slightly, as if pleased by the eunuch's praise, "I also think your handwriting is good today."
He took his calligraphy and threw it lightly at the two princes.
"You two are almost adults, but you are still so rash in doing things. Frame this calligraphy and think about it carefully!"
The two good-for-nothing sons were awakened by the emperor's words and looked uneasy.
But they had too many concerns and didn't know whether they should take the calligraphy, which made them even more at a loss.
Seeing this, the emperor was very depressed and worried about the future of his two sons.
As a king, he could not favor any of his sons because of personal feelings.
Although these two sons have their own strengths, they are still far from what he expected.
If things go on like this, how can he feel at ease to appoint a crown prince?
…
The timeline returns to the present.
The two young eunuchs said that they came to her because they were curious about her.
Wu Qing repeated doubtfully: "Curious?"
"What are you curious about me?"
The second prince said with a stiff upper lip: "It's just... I'm a little curious whether you really have the ability to remember everything you see."
[Oh… I see…]
[That day in Kunning Palace, many palace maids and eunuchs saw me reciting the Thousand Character Classic silently, and I think the news spread.]
Wu Qing couldn't help but laugh. "Why don't you find a better excuse? You fought at my door and said it was out of curiosity about me?"
The second prince scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
The eldest prince came out to explain: "He thinks the truth is false, and I think the truth is true. We each insisted on our own opinions, and neither of us could convince the other, so we started fighting in desperation."
"I'm really sorry for disturbing your peace." He apologized sincerely.
The eldest prince is a few years older and is more capable of dealing with people.
Wu Qing was not angry in the first place, so he let the two guys go upon seeing this.
The second prince did not forget to ask: "Your Excellency really has a photographic memory?"
Wu Qing said honestly: "That's indeed not the case."
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, if Wu Qing really has this ability, he can't refuse her from being a teacher.
He said, how could there be such a god?
Wu Qing said modestly: "I am not Baidu Encyclopedia, I can't remember everything. As for the changes outside the palace walls, I probably don't know much about it."
"However, I do know a little about what goes on in the palace," she said.
The second prince cautiously raised two fingers and asked tentatively: "...How much is this one and two?"
Wu Qing pondered for a moment and smiled, "That is to say, I know how old the eldest prince is and still wet his pants."
!!!
The second prince suddenly asked excitedly: "How old are you?!"
Wu Qing was startled by his dancing.
【Why did the kid suddenly go crazy? 】
The eldest prince smiled and held his second brother's mouth. "This is incredible, unheard of. You are a noble man, you shouldn't lie to us, right?"
Wu Qing curled his lips, "Why would I lie to you? I dare to lie to the emperor, why would I lie to you two little bean sprouts?"
She examined him and asked, "Which palace are you two eunuchs from? Don't be so secretive. Just speak up if you have anything to say."
[I am still waiting to edit my "Five-Year Imperial Examination and Three-Year Simulation".]
[Once I gain the Queen's trust, won't it be easy to murder the heroine? ]
The eldest prince said with a fake smile: "We are from the prince's residence. I am sorry to bother you because I have something to ask of you."
"We heard that you are going to teach in the upper study, so we came to visit you on behalf of the first and second princes."
The eldest prince said: "If you really have a photographic memory, we would like to test you."
[These two eunuchs turned out to be the prince's advance guards. No wonder they fought. It's true that the relationship between the eldest prince and the second prince is not good.]
[You want to see what I can do? Okay, I'll do something big. ]
Wu Qing nodded: "No problem."
"But I also have a little rule. Each person can only ask three questions. If you ask more than that, I won't accompany you."
The two princes looked at each other and nodded in unison.
The second prince asked excitedly, "Then I'll go first! My eldest brother... How old was the eldest prince when he still wet the bed?"
The eldest prince's eyelids twitched violently: "..."
Can this annoying little brother ever get better?
