Chapter 123: Simply not human
"Your Highness, the force should penetrate the paper, not tear it."
"Take it easy."
Bei Jingchu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'll try my best."
In the end, he was forced to practice calligraphy.
Under normal circumstances, the academic status of the royal heir will not be reported proactively unless the emperor asks.
But the gentleman felt that the eldest princess's case was too special.
It's simply not human level.
The gentleman went to see Si Ye, and Si Ye took him to find him to serve as a priest.
The chief priest disagreed: "Your Highness's studies are certainly important, but the Hongwen Academy is to help Your Majesty share the burden of educating your children."
"If the princes and princesses have to go to His Majesty for everything, then what is the use of our Hongwenguan?"
"Princess, we can solve the problem ourselves if we can."
"By the way, Master Sun, what happened to the princess's schoolwork? Why did a steady person like you have to come to His Majesty?"
Master Sun said, "Your Highness began to learn to read two months ago."
The chief priest lifted the lid of the teacup and skimmed off the tea foam.
"I know this."
"Now your highness has finished understanding."
There was a "ding-dong" sound.
The tea lid fell on the tea bowl, shaking twice.
"What did you say? What do you mean you have finished knowing?"
Master Sun said calmly: "I have already recognized all the characters in the enlightenment book. If the characters were not too ugly, I could have entered the hall."
He really has never seen the world. Look how calm and masterful he is.
The chief priest slowly opened his mouth.
After a long while, he finally uttered, "This, this matter must be reported to His Majesty."
"But are you sure? It took only two months to recognize it."
"If you exaggerate, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Master Sun silently assured: "I had already learned it a long time ago, but I was afraid that the princess had not learned it well, so I must let her review it again."
"Your Highness is indeed gifted. Don't disbelieve it just because you haven't seen it."
Master Sun spoke nonchalantly, as if he was not the one who was jaw-dropping at the time.
But Master Sun was very sad because Jijiu still looked obviously skeptical. Was his word so unreliable?
The chief priest explained: "It's not that I don't believe you, sir, it's just that what you said is too unbelievable."
"It would be better to confirm it before reporting it to His Majesty."
He followed the teacher to the Zhitang.
Bei Jingchu was trying hard to concentrate on copying and practicing calligraphy.
The teacher said that those who can pass the imperial examinations and become officials, among other things, have exceptionally neat handwriting.
Because the emperor did not have the patience to recognize their unique handwriting one by one on the memorials.
Master Sun himself has his own style in writing, but when he wrote a formal memorial, Bei Jingchu was shocked.
Wow, is this a printer that has become a spirit?
It turns out that people can really cultivate themselves into printers.
Bei Jingchu herself admits that her handwriting is ugly now.
Although she is very confident, she also has an aesthetic sense.
She was shocked by the ugliness of her own handwriting.
But after practicing for a whole morning and writing slowly and carefully, at least people can recognize what I wrote.
She felt someone was looking at her, and when she looked up, it turned out to be the principal. No, it's called the chief priest here.
"Good libation!"
"Your Highness, I heard from Master Sun that Your Highness has learned all the characters?"
Bei Jingchu shook her head.
The chief priest glanced at Master Sun.
You old man, you start to brag.
He said that it was incredible that he could learn all the words in just two months.
Totally impossible.
At this time, the eldest princess said, "How is it possible to recognize all the words in the world at once?"
"Even if you learn all the words in those elementary books, there will always be unfamiliar characters."
The libation chief turned his neck stiffly.
"What did your highness just say?"
"You mean you finished it in two months?"
"What else? Do I have to study for many more months?" After saying this, Bei Jingchu felt something was wrong.
Looking to the side, Bei Hua, who had been silent all the time, put down her pen and stopped working, looking at her with a face full of grievance.
Oh, I'm sorry, cousin.
It wasn't intentional at first.
Jijiu looked unconvinced, and he asked Bei Jingchu to hand her enlightenment book to her.
He started to randomly check the words above and asked Bei Jingchu to write them out.
Half an hour later...
"Jijiu, can you please do this? If you keep writing, I will finish this book soon."
The chief priest was silent.
He closed the book and returned it to Bei Jingchu, then walked out in a daze.
Master Sun followed him out.
The chief priest pulled him aside and sighed, "What a wicked man!"
"I will write a memorial right now. Such a big matter must be reported to His Majesty."
After returning, he shook his head with regret as he wrote.
If this extraordinary genius were a prince, he would probably come to the emperor right now.
Unless she has no ambition, who can compete with her?
What a pity. What a pity.
He took out the memorial, his hands were shaking as he held the pen, unable to conceal his excitement.
As a teacher, it is an exciting thing to have a student who is extremely intelligent.
So when the emperor was feeling annoyed while reviewing memorials, he came across this book.
The expression on his face instantly changed from gloomy to bright.
Even laughed out loud.
So much so that when Bei Jingchu returned to Xuanshi Hall for dinner in the evening, she was startled when she saw his smile.
Aye's tone was so gentle that it was unbelievable: "Chu Chu~"
"Are you tired~"
"Come on, come and sit down. Aye asked the imperial kitchen to prepare all your favorite dishes."
"Also, haven't you been eyeing my six-panel gauze screen for a long time? Aye will give it to you."
"You can go to my private storehouse and pick out a few more things you like. Aye will give them to you~"
The more he talked, the more scared Bei Jingchu became.
The words were so soft that Bei Jingchu got goose bumps all over her body.
She sat down obediently with her hands in her tucked away, her back straight.
He was very flustered and his little head was in a mess.
[Wuwuwu, has Aye been possessed? 】
[Why is it that you are like a different person? No! ]
[Although Aye is a bitch, he is really nice. 】
【Or is this my last supper? 】
[Does it mean I have to hit the road after finishing this meal? 】
[I didn’t do anything bad.]
[I just boiled tea eggs with Aye's tea. Tea eggs boiled with expensive tea seem to be more fragrant than ordinary tea. ]
[I don’t know if it’s my psychological effect, or…]
Bei Jingchu didn't know that her little secret had been heard, and she kept muttering to herself.
Behen: ...
What a surprise.
This kind of thing was not within the scope of the secret guards' reports, so he really didn't know about it.
As Bei Jingchu had more and more wild thoughts in his mind, the emperor's smile gradually disappeared and turned into his usual sour face.
Bei Jingchu let out a long sigh of relief.
[That's right, this is normal, Aye. 】
After eating, when Bei Jingchu was wiping her mouth, Aye asked, "I have been consuming tea leaves faster than before. I thought it was because I drank too much."
"But it seems someone has found out that it was some petty thief."
