"I saw it!"
"You taught very well, better than I did!"
"Father, please don't praise me. It's not that I taught him well; it's that my nephew is too smart, he's practically a child prodigy!"
Hearing this, Xu Hui, who was standing next to Li Shimin, couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Princess Jinyang is mistaken. I have been known as a child prodigy since I was a child, but at the age of the eldest grandson, let alone entering a state of complete absorption, I can't even write characters properly, hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin remembered that his beloved concubine had been known as a child prodigy since childhood.
"Xu Hui, tell me, what strange things did your child prodigies do when they were young?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hui smiled and shook her head.
"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. Compared to Your Majesty's eldest grandson, I was just a silly girl when I was young, hahaha!"
"Although I don't know what other child prodigies are like, one thing is certain: Your Majesty's eldest grandson is by no means a child prodigy, but should be called a person of superior wisdom!"
"Shangzhi?"
"right!"
"Has Your Majesty not read this sentence?"
Confucius said, “Those who are born with knowledge are the highest. Those who learn through study are next. Those who learn after being perplexed are next again. Those who are perplexed but do not learn are the lowest of the people.”
"His Majesty's eldest grandson is born with knowledge; he is a man of exceptional wisdom, whose wisdom cannot be fathomed by ordinary means!"
"This...this..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at his eldest grandson, who was writing in the courtyard, and his eyes were filled with fervor.
My eldest grandson is a person of supreme wisdom who is born with knowledge!
No wonder this child doesn't like doing his homework; it turns out he thinks the homework I assigned him is too easy, burying his intelligence...
It seems I'll have to assign him some challenging homework from now on!
"Xu Hui, don't even the most intelligent people need someone to supervise them?"
"Your Majesty, that's natural. No matter how clever a child is, he is still a child."
"Children are always playful. When I was a child, if it weren't for my mother's cane, I would have become just an ordinary person!"
Li Shimin nodded secretly upon hearing this.
"I understand. I will be even stricter with him from now on!"
"I will find renowned scholars from across the land to be his teachers, have Yuchi Jingde teach him martial arts, and I will personally teach him archery and horsemanship, so that he may become the most brilliant and martial master of the Tang Dynasty..."
Li Shimin coughed awkwardly twice as he finished speaking.
"Cough cough!"
"You must not let my words be spread, lest you tarnish the fortune of the Li family's prodigy!"
Xu Hui was secretly alarmed upon hearing this. Could the "fortune" His Majesty spoke of be the throne of the Tang Dynasty?
Yes!
Only the "throne" deserves to be called destiny by His Majesty!
It seems I need to get closer to this child in the future. Little did I know that this child's fortune might just be my own fortune!
"Your Majesty, I congratulate you on the birth of your son!"
"Daughter also congratulates Father Emperor on the birth of his son, hee hee!"
Li Shimin was in high spirits upon hearing their congratulations.
Congratulations to you!
"Hahaha!"
Looking at His Majesty, who was smiling like a flower, and recalling His Majesty's words about being stricter with the imperial grandson, Xu Hui felt a pang of heartache for the little imperial grandson outside the window.
It seems this child's tough days are yet to come!
whee!
