Master Xun took a sip of water and continued to lecture on "The Book of Rites".

Forty minutes passed in a flash.

Just as Master Xun was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, a young eunuch walked carefully to Master Xun's side and reminded him softly: "Master, it's time to rest."

Hearing this, Master Xun stared at the Western clock placed in the corner with dissatisfaction.

The clock had a strange shape and came from a distant Western land. It was carved with intricate patterns and looked extremely exquisite.

In order to study strictly according to the schedule, Wu Qing specially asked the Queen for a Western clock, and asked the young eunuchs to keep an eye on the clock at all times and remind themselves on time when the time came.

Therefore, Master Xun had to end the get out of class at a certain time.

The princes were a little caught off guard when they were suddenly reminded to leave get out of class.

Normally, they would have to sit for a whole morning under the Master's instruction before they could have a break. Now, they only had to rest for forty minutes, which was a bit too comfortable.

When the get out of class was over, Wu Qing woke up.

She yawned deeply, picked up her notebook slowly, and walked to Master Xun's side.

Master Xun was not at all kind to her. When he saw her coming over, a hint of displeasure appeared on his stern face.

"Ms. Ladies and Gentlemen, you took so much trouble to come into this study room, are you just here to rest?" The old man stared at her majestically, clutching the textbook.

"How many women dream of entering this study room, but you don't know how to cherish it."

Even Princess Xiyan couldn't enter, but Concubine Ji came in.

Wu Qing scratched his head, an innocent look on his face.

She said, "Master, isn't this what you want? I didn't interrupt your teaching, nor did I steal scriptures, so why are you blaming me?"

"A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. I am just a little girl, how can I understand? I might as well shut up, sleep, and be a salted fish in the corner."

Master Xun blew his beard and glared, feeling very aggrieved.

He is a world-famous scholar. Who wouldn't want to become his disciple and learn from him personally?

After Guiren Ji tried every possible means to get into the study room, she ended up sleeping soundly in class, which was a complete humiliation to him.

"Forget it. You are unable to appreciate the charm of learning, and there is nothing I can do about it." Master Xun said coldly.

【Master Xun looked down on women and thought that women should not get involved in learning. But if I really stepped into the upper study room, he thought that I was disrespectful to him by not studying. So should I study or not? Oh.】

[He is a stubborn old man who is self-contradictory and wants everything. ]

Wu Qing shrugged and handed the notebook to Master Xun.

"Master, please help me take a look. I wrote a few questions, but I don't know if the answers are appropriate. Can you give me some advice?"

Master Xun had not originally intended to take the notebook, but when he heard Concubine Ji say that she had written the questions herself, he couldn't help but feel curious.

How could she, an uneducated woman, write the questions?

absurd!

Master Xun lowered his head and read the words carefully.

As his eyes moved, Xun Fuzi's brows gradually furrowed. After a few seconds, he frowned and asked her in disbelief: "Did you come up with all these answers by yourself?"

Wu Qing shook his head and said frankly: "No."

Master Xun seemed relieved.

If all these profound questions and answers were thought up by Concubine Ji alone, Master Xun would be heartbroken.

Wu Qing told the truth: "It was written by a person named Zhu Hanfei. Oh, Master, you might want to know that she is also a woman."

Master Xun was silent: "..."

He doesn't want to know.

Master Xun hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak: "This... could it be that this lady is also a hidden lady in the palace? I have been teaching the princes in the upper study for many years, but I have never heard of her."

Wu Qing calculated the time and said, "It will be soon. In just half a month, she will enter the palace."

She hasn’t entered the palace yet... Does that mean that such a talented girl has just come of age?

How could there be such a woman in the world?

Master Xun became interested: "How old was she when she wrote these?"

[These questions are from the extra chapter of the original book, where the heroine asked the emperor's grandson after she became the empress dowager.]

"I think she wrote it when she was about 50 years old." Wu Qing said uncertainly.

Master Xun took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner depression.

Why did he end up talking about these things with Concubine Ji?

What nonsense!

How could a woman who had not yet entered the harem write these answers at the age of fifty?

Can Guiren Ji predict the future?

"Master, you haven't told me yet, how are these topics going?" Wu Qing urged.

"not good!"

Master Xun's beard trembled slightly, and he pointed at the words above, "This question, the answer is too one-sided! And this question, you can calculate it yourself, how many people are there in the capital? How much land is there? Can it be implemented?"

Wu Qing said he had learned his lesson.

Master Xun looked at her inexplicably and said, "If you wrote these yourself... well, I will do my best to polish them for you and make them more perfect."

Most of these answers are correct, but some of them deviate from the current situation of Chen Country.

Master Xun didn't know what Concubine Ji was going to do with these answers, but out of his responsibility as a teacher, he still felt it necessary to help her to prevent her from misleading others.

[The answer is definitely different from reality. After all, this is a question set more than 30 years later in the world line, ahem.]

Wu Qing stood beside Master Xun and watched him revise his answer, silently reading in his mind: [The answer to this question is limited to the interpretation of "Book of Rites" and fails to integrate the essence of other scriptures. It does seem a bit biased. ]

Xun Fuzi paused with his pen, as if he was thinking about something, and wrote a few words. Wu Qing couldn't help but move closer, wanting to see his next revision clearly.

[Huh? With this book, the answers are indeed much richer. Master Xun is still very capable. ]

[Ah... this question. So the current population of the capital is still counted by households? No wonder it is so different from the later period. It doesn't even include the number of women! It seems that the population census is still necessary. ]

[Okay, okay, I'll add them all to my quiz! ]

The eldest prince, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up.

He tilted his head, pricked up his ears and eavesdropped for a while.

After a moment, the eldest prince jumped up and sat upright.

The eldest prince quickly picked up the pen and started writing and drawing on the notebook Wu Qing gave him.

The sleepy Second Prince half-closed his eyes and supported his chin as he looked at him.

"What are you doing?" he asked lazily, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "You're still studying here after class, who are you trying to show off to?"

The eldest prince didn't even look at him, and continued to concentrate on recording Wu Qing's thoughts.

These are all the answers to the quiz!!!

The eldest prince almost cried for joy.

I will definitely beat my second brother this time!
