Chen Yu picked a good teacher for his grandson, changed the school, and took his grandson's lessons seriously. Soon, Chen Yu found that his son was particularly eager to take his grandson to school.
Then they found that their son often stayed outside their grandson's school and did not come back. After observing for a while, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law concluded that the prodigal son wanted to study seriously again, but felt it was too embarrassing to go to school with his own son, so he just sat in on classes outside the school.
He would look at his son's homework whenever he had time. Perhaps it was because when he was his age, he skipped school every day to fight cocks, walk the dog, and catch fish and shrimps. Now he wanted to study hard, but he was too embarrassed to do so at his age.
So, Chen Yu and her mother-in-law went to find the teacher in the academy. When the son went to pick up his grandson, the teacher said that he was old and asked him to do odd jobs in the academy and help watch over the students in the classroom to prevent any accidents.
So the son could sit in the school with good reason, and study in the same school as his son as a handyman.
After all, he is an adult and understands the lessons much better than a child. This son learns very quickly and works hard day and night.
Chen Yu and her mother-in-law secretly asked the teacher, who said that if they continued to study like this, they would be able to take the imperial examination in three years. The teacher then said that both father and son should consider changing schools, the son to the academy and the grandson to the youth school.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy. In their opinion, it didn't matter whether their son passed the exam or not. What mattered was that their son was studying hard.
No one would have thought that Chen Yu's little grandson and the son of Duke Rong, who had been raised from a concubine to his legitimate son, would one day compete for a place in the same academy.
The two children are of similar age, and now it is time for them to go to higher education. They both want to enter the same school, which is considered to be the junior class of Lu Ming Academy. In the future, most of the children who can survive until graduation will directly enter Lu Ming Academy without any unexpected problems.
Luming Academy was the top academy in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, where most of the princes and grandchildren of the emperor studied. Numerous awe-inspiring scholars taught here.
Therefore, this Qingyin Academy was named after the young phoenix Qingyin, and the admission quota is highly sought after every year.
Chen Yu was probably really confused before. He always thought that his child would definitely inherit the throne of the crown prince in the future and would naturally become the Duke of Rong.
It was not until now, when she started to take care of her grandson's studies, that this former wife of the Duke began to seriously understand the major academies, colleges, schools and imperial examinations of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
When I think about it, I feel sorry for my son. Neither his parents care about him enough.
In order to avoid gossip, Chen Yu's son left his familiar circle and went to Dongtian Academy, which had the largest number of students from poor families.
The grandson was working hard to prepare for the entrance exam to Qingyin Academy. The admission method to Qingyin Academy was very simple, just an exam.
The exam is divided into a written test and an interview. The young boys have to hand in a beautiful answer sheet. In the oral exam, they need to draw lots to debate, express their own views, and answer the teachers' questions.
Chen Yu's grandson's academic performance used to be above average, and he didn't seem particularly outstanding.
But ever since his father began studying hard, the father and son often worked together at desks of different sizes, and the little grandson became different.
Finally, the Qingyin Academy announced the results, and both young boys were on the list, but Chen Yu's grandson ranked more than 40 places higher than the concubine's child.
Jiang Tao's son Jiang Guyuan continued his father's legend as a child prodigy, ranking second on the Qingyin Academy entrance examination list at the youngest age.
The first one is said to be the prince's son, the crown prince. He is now eleven years old and much older than Jiang Guyuan.
The person Jiang Guyuan drew lots to debate against was a royal grandson, the child of the Fourth Prince and Xi Yinzhu. The little royal grandson was defeated by Jiang Guyuan in the debate and was so angry that he went to ask his brothers for help.
Several imperial grandsons united together but were unable to gain any advantage over the little Jiang Guyuan, and finally pushed out their eldest brother, the crown prince. Unexpectedly, Jiang Guyuan obviously let them off after seeing the crown prince.
Later, the teacher of Qingyin Academy asked little Gu Yuan if he recognized that it was the crown prince, and he didn't dare to speak.
Jiang Guyuan opened his eyes wide and said, "So he is the crown prince. No wonder the box of cakes he gave me was so delicious. It must have been made by the imperial chef."
After asking carefully, the teacher found out that the Crown Prince met Jiang Guyuan outside and he had been staring at the cakes in his food box, so he simply gave his food box to this cute little baby who was as cute as a pink ball.
The other children taking the exam were between ten and twelve years old, but little Gu Yuan was only six. When they lined up for the exam, they were not allowed to have maids or servants with them. The little kid, who had just woken up and was sent in to wait for the exam in a daze, was hungry and couldn't find his lunch box.
The Crown Prince had no idea that such a small favor of a meal would actually help him save face in front of his younger brothers.
Xuanyuan Huaiyu's son, or the third prince's son, is about to graduate from Qingyin Academy and will be promoted to Luming Academy. However, the annual entrance examination debate is particularly interesting, so Xuanyuan Huaiyu accompanied him to watch.
Watching the round-robin battle between several imperial grandchildren and Jiang Guyuan, Xuanyuan Huaiyu felt a warmth in his heart, as if he saw the time when he was with his brothers and sisters, including the eldest princess and the fifth princess.
At that time, the third prince was still fine, but later they were tortured to death by several great scholars in Lu Ming Academy... The days of youth passed by just like that.
He still remembered that when he was a teenager, his father had taken his anger out on him for no reason and had him beaten because Jiang Tao was too outstanding. He felt a sympathy for Wang Suwen who had also been beaten, but in the end, he still lost to Jiang Tao, and he lost the girl whose smile was so charming.
