Chapter 179 Jiujiu, You Are Not Shameful
Coincidentally, the Thirteenth Prince and Nan Yuanxiang also returned.
The two also heard Jiujiu say that she could recite the Three Character Classic backwards, but Emperor Zhaoning did not believe it and promised to give him his favorite ring.
The two of them first bowed and greeted Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Jia, then looked at Jiujiu with a smile.
"Jiujiu, you are not ashamed."
"You actually said you can recite the Three Character Classic backwards? Is this something a human can do?"
"You must be sleepy and starting talking nonsense."
As the Thirteenth Prince spoke, he took off his schoolbag, handed it to the servant, and burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He held his stomach and joked, "Jiujiu, if you can recite the Three Character Classic backwards, I will hand-copy the Analects ten times."
"You definitely can't recite it, so stop pretending, hahahaha."
The full text of The Analects of Confucius has over ten thousand words.
The Thirteenth Prince said to copy it ten times by hand?
Jiujiu was stunned. "Brother Thirteen, are you sure you want to embarrass yourself like this? Jiujiu can recite it."
"I didn't make it hard for myself. It was you who made it hard for yourself, Jiujiu."
"Okay!" Little Jiujiu put his hands behind his back, sighed regretfully, and said, "In that case, Jiujiu will not persuade you anymore. Brother Thirteen, you can just copy the Analects ten times!"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible." The Thirteenth Prince waved his hands.
Nan Yuanxiang also said: "Jiujiu, if you can recite the Three Character Classic backwards, I will do my homework standing upside down from now on."
"Doing homework while standing upside down?"
"Little cousin, you are such a ruthless person."
Jiujiu couldn't quite imagine the scene of Nan Yuanxiang doing her homework while standing upside down.
Because she can't help laughing.
She really didn't want to laugh. She didn't want to be unkind.
"So, Jiujiu, just recite it!" Nan Yuanxiang covered her mouth and snickered, "When you have finished reciting it but still can't recite it, I can go back."
Jiujiu: “…”
Cousin, you actually dislike me?
Ahhh, you actually despise me?
Are we still the best in the world?
Meng Meng suddenly came to Jiujiu under the guidance of the trainer, rubbed Jiujiu's little body, and roared at Jiujiu, as if to say: "We are the best in the world!"
Dahuang, who refused to eat dinner, also lay at the door and looked at Jiujiu quietly: Master, I have been trying to eat less, please don’t hate me, I also want to be the best with you in the world.
"Okay, Jiujiu, you recite it!"
Emperor Zhaoning was amused by the children's words and had a faint smile on his face.
Concubine Jia said softly, "Tianci, Yuanxiang, come over here and watch Jiujiu's back together?"
"good."
Everyone stood aside and looked at Jiujiu.
Invisibly, this put a little pressure on Jiujiu.
But who is Jiujiu? He is the cockroach that can’t be killed.
Jiujiu coughed twice, cleared his throat, and recited it.
Amid everyone's questioning gazes, Jiujiu recited the poem. She spoke at a moderate speed so that everyone could hear her clearly.
Soon, Jiujiu had memorized all of them.
Emperor Zhaoning was about to have some tea, but when he heard Jiujiu start to recite, he held the teacup, did not drink, and just watched Jiujiu recite.
After a long while, Jiujiu recited the last few words, "Good nature, the beginning person."
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Jiujiu, and he didn't notice when his hand loosened and the cup fell to the ground and broke.
Porcelain slag was scattered all over the floor.
The maid serving beside her was bending over to pick them up.
Concubine Jia looked surprised.
The Thirteenth Prince and Nan Yuanxiang were about to cry.
No one expected that Jiujiu could actually recite all of them.
Jiujiu neither boasted nor lied.
No wonder Qi Zhongshu insisted on chasing Jiujiu and wanted to take Jiujiu as his last disciple.
The little girl is extremely talented!
Jiujiu's mouth was a little dry, so she ran to the table, picked up the tea that the maid had poured for her, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, she looked at Emperor Zhaoning again and stretched out her chubby little hand in front of him, "Father, give it to me?"
Jiujiu is asking for the ring that Emperor Zhaoning had promised her.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at the ring on his hand and felt reluctant to let it go.
This thing means a lot to him. He would wear it even when he died. Unexpectedly, he lost it to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu saw that Emperor Zhaoning had not given her the ring for a long time, so she asked, "Father, you are the emperor, don't you mean what you said? Are you deceiving me?"
Emperor Zhaoning gritted his teeth and said, "...Of course it counts."
Emperor Zhaoning was reluctant to part with the ring, so he took it off. He looked at it with fondness for a few seconds, and then handed it to Jiujiu reluctantly.
He has to keep his promise in front of his daughter.
Jiujiu reached out to catch it, but didn't catch it: "Father, can you let go?"
"……"oh.
Emperor Zhaoning loosened his hand and the ring fell into Jiujiu's hand.
The ring is number ninety-nine.
Jiujiu looked at the ring for a few seconds, took two bites of it excitedly, and said, "I feel this ring is very good, I wonder what it is made of?"
It was renovated after Emperor Zhaoning ascended the throne using his biological mother's relics. The best jade materials were selected, and the craftsmen were also the best.
The final product is naturally impeccable.
The inner circle of the ring is engraved with Emperor Zhaoning's mother's favorite flowers and name.
Whenever Emperor Zhaoning used the Mosuo ring, he would think of his mother.
But now, the ring was lost because of his boasting.
Emperor Zhaoning regretted his death.
If he had known this, he should not have gambled with Jiujiu using his ring.
Now, the most precious thing is gone.
After looking at the ring, Jiujiu looked at the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince was feeling guilty and wanted to escape immediately. He didn't want to copy the Analects ten times by hand.
If he copied it ten times, it would take him forever to finish.
"Brother Thirteen, where are you going?" Jiujiu saw that the man was trying to escape, so he chased him and asked meaningfully.
The Thirteenth Prince paused, "I, I have to go to the bathroom. People have three urgent things to do. Ninety-nine, brother, please go out and take care of it first."
"Are you sure you're not pretending, Brother Thirteen?"
Jiujiu's words get to the point.
The Thirteenth Prince's face turned red, and he was too embarrassed to move forward.
He turned around and looked at Jiujiu in embarrassment.
Jiujiu reminded: "Brother Thirteen, hand-copy the Analects ten times. You said it yourself, so you must copy it carefully."
"Jiujiu will check it."
The Thirteenth Prince: “…”
What a sin!
Why did he just say something like copying the Analects ten times by hand?
You are just making things difficult for yourself!
He was wrong. He would never dare to boast again, nor would he dare to doubt Jiujiu again.
"Little cousin, there's also you." Jiujiu crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Nan Yuanxiang, who had been pouting and competing with her, with a naughty look, "You said, if Jiujiu can recite the Three Character Classic backwards, you can do your homework upside down."
"This..." Nan Yuanxiang scratched her head and smiled, a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Okay, my cousin just made a mistake, can you please not take it seriously?"
"My little cousin is wrong."
Doing homework upside down?
She really can't do it!
She wants to be a lady, a lady.
"No, people have to keep their promises." Jiujiu said seriously.
