This question seemed very boring to Li Chengzhao. If he hadn't taken the History of the Three Kingdoms from the side when he was out of boredom while changing clothes, he probably would never have guessed what Zhou Yu's horse was.
On New Year's Eve, with Emperor Li Zhiyun's hard work, he finally managed all government affairs and found time to spend time with his children to watch the New Year's Eve together.
The location is Shouan Hall.
Li Zhiyun, Empress Dowager Wan, Empress Yang, Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shu and others, as well as their children, are all gathered here.
The women did not gather together to play mahjong, but looked slightly uneasily at the children doing test papers underneath.
The reason was naturally that Li Zhiyun wanted to test their knowledge.
Although it seemed to Li Zhiyun that it was just a small test, and to the princes and princesses it was a disgraceful thing, but to the concubines it had a completely different meaning.
Naturally, they hope that their sons will stand out.
Several children who took the exam have officially started school, such as the eldest son Chengjing, the second son Chengyan, the third son Chenglie, the fourth son Chengzhao, the fifth son Chengjing. As well as Yongning and Jinyang.
The remaining children were not yet old enough to go to school and did not understand anything. They could only have fun holding the oversized plush toys given by their father.
From time to time, the maids and maids would bring sweet and fragrant tea to the princes and princesses.
The emperor, Queen Mother Wan and others sat on the high platform, tasting cakes and chatting happily.
"Look." Queen Mother Wan pulled her son's sleeves and signaled with her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun followed his mother's eyes and looked over. He saw that most of his concubines were looking at the pastries on the table absentmindedly, and from time to time they looked at the little guys taking exams below.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Queen Mother Wan said: "You are the emperor, and every move you make has a profound meaning. This time you are testing several emperors and grandchildren, your concubines are very interested."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun muttered: "My son is just idle and doing whatever he wants."
He really didn't think too much, just wanted to take advantage of his free time to see how these little guys were studying in school.
However, after being reminded by Empress Dowager Wan, Li Zhiyun also felt that what he did might not be appropriate and would leave room for unwarranted speculation.
"Don't worry, grandma. My son knows it well."
"That's fine." Queen Mother Wan said calmly: "As long as you know, it's fine. The Ai family is also worried that you are not prepared."
Li Zhiyun said calmly: "I am their father. Isn't it natural to test them? What preparations do I need to make?"
"You." Queen Mother Wan shook her head and said immediately: "Now that the emperor's grandsons are older, you must also be prepared. The Ai family does not want to care about this matter, but you must pay attention, otherwise it will bring trouble to yourself
.”
Li Zhiyun knew what Empress Dowager Wan was talking about, so he nodded.
"Don't worry, mother, your son knows."
On the other side, Xiuyi Wei Nizi sat next to the imperial concubine Wei Gui. She held a baby boy in her arms. This boy was born in December of the third year of Zhenguan. He was the tenth son of the emperor. He was named Li Chengxi and was Wei Nizi.
Born.
Also born in the same month as Li Chengxi was the emperor's eleventh son, Zhaorong Xiao Yuexian, named Li Chengyu.
The tenth son and the eleventh son were born five days apart.
Wei Nizi withdrew his gaze from Li Chenglie and quietly said to Wei Gui: "Sister, how is Lie'er's homework?"
Wei Gui pondered for a moment and said, "It should be okay."
Seeing that Wei Gui was so calm, Wei Nizi couldn't care too much, so she smiled and said, "Sister, have you seen Concubine Yin De?"
Hearing this, Wei Gui raised his eyes and looked up.
Concubine Yin De was very nervous and her eyes were fixed on her son.
Seeing this, Wei Gui snorted softly.
"After all, he comes from a small family."
"Isn't it?" Wei Nizi snickered: "A few days ago, I heard that she was reprimanded by the Queen for being too extravagant."
"This is not a rare thing." Wei Gui said calmly.
How many women in this palace don't like luxurious clothes?
The reason why they dressed simply was not to please the emperor. Who didn't know that the emperor was very distressed because of the disaster. At this time, they were showing off in the palace, not deliberately to bore the emperor.
But, some people can't help but be stupid.
Wei Nizi continued: "I wonder how the eldest son's grades are? I heard they are very ordinary."
"You have to raise the prince well now, and don't ask about other things, so as not to make the queen unhappy." Wei Gui frowned slightly.
Wei Nizi said in a low voice: "Do you still need me to inquire about this kind of thing? Many of the beautiful ladies who entered the palace with me were suppressed by Concubine Yin De. They just gave birth to the emperor's eldest son. What's the big deal?"
Hearing this, Wei Gui looked a little helpless. After all, this cousin was still a young girl who was inexperienced in the world.
"Okay, don't meddle in other people's affairs."
"I don't want to care about it. I just can't stand it. He's just the eldest son, huh."
Wei Gui warned calmly: "Watch your words. If word spreads, you will not escape the Queen's punishment."
"Yes." Although Wei Nizi looked down on Concubine Yin De, he did not dare to look down on the Queen. After all, the Queen's background was not inferior to theirs, and Queen Yang was also the master of the harem.
At this moment, Queen Yang and Concubine Shu were drinking with the emperor.
Li Zhiyun enjoys this fairyland with beautiful women by his side with peace of mind.
Queen Mother Wan was a little tired, so she did not stay any longer. Instead, she went to the inner room to take a nap. After all, she had to stay up all night.
There is only one thing I can say about the feeling of having a big beauty in one hand.
Feeling comfortable.
As the last stick of incense burns out, the exam ends.
Li Zhiyun personally graded the test papers.
At this time, the concubines couldn't help but feel nervous, and even the little ones below were also waiting nervously.
Li Chengzhao didn't care, he pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.
This boy, because he was the legitimate son and because he looked exactly like Li Zhiyun when he was a child, was extremely loved by Empress Dowager Wan.
In fact, Li Zhiyun's several growing sons are basically similar to Li Zhiyun.
Some have similar eyebrows and eyes, while others have similar noses and mouths, or facial contours.
After correcting the test paper, Li Zhiyun looked at his sons.
I saw a row of people standing below, as if they were forced to stand. And the tables and chairs where they were taking the exam had been removed by the chamberlains.
The other sons were more or less nervous, but Li Chengzhao looked unconcerned.
"Zhao'er."
Hearing his father's voice, Li Chengzhao took a step forward.
"Father, my son and minister are here."
"I see you are full of confidence." Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
"It's easy." Li Chengzhao said matter-of-factly.
"Really?" Li Zhiyun asked, "Then are you confident about getting 100 points?"
"Absolutely." Li Chengzhao said calmly.
When Queen Yang saw her son being so arrogant, she made up her mind that she would find time to teach this little bastard a lesson in the future.
Is Li Chengzhao arrogant?
In his own opinion, this is not the case. He simply thinks that the test paper is very simple.
Jin Yang sneered and said: "If you lose, I will beat you to death later."
Li Chengzhao:(lll￢ω￢)
Just talk, why do you want to hit someone?
Li Zhiyun's facial expression froze when he heard his daughter's words.
Lady!
Where is your ladylike attitude, my little princess.
Not long after, Li Zhiyun revealed the answer to the mystery amidst everyone's expectations.
The first place is Jinyang, with 100 points.
The second place is Li Chengzhao with 98 points.
The score of ninety-eight points was because Li Chengzhao failed a multiple-choice question.
Li Chengzhao was completely stunned when he saw the test paper.
