Only a fool would have such a sweet dream if only a few casual words could make Concubine Li feel that Gao Pragmatic and she were as close as mother and son. In fact, the conversation between Concubine Li and Gao Pragmatic was quite boring, and they basically consisted of one question and one answer.
It is a simple mode, but it seems that because of this, it is more like "calling the right one".
Li Guifei did not take the extra exam for Gao Pragmatic's knowledge, so Gao Pragmatic lost the opportunity to show off. Originally, he thought that if Li Guifei published a few couplets like the nobles in some unofficial histories, novels and other novels, he would not be able to do it again.
If you write out a few high-quality second lines and then look for opportunities to exaggerate the story and spread it, your reputation in Shilin will be better. After all, I know "Li Weng Duiyun" by heart.
However, reality is not as rich as pretentious novels. Although Li Guifei herself has tried her best to read some books in the past few years, this is mainly out of the consideration of arming her mind with knowledge to deal with possible court struggles. Really speaking, when it comes to knowledge,
After all, the foundation is there, no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be?
People of this generation have a natural inferiority complex in terms of knowledge towards civil servants with Jinshi background. No matter whether it was Cao Gan before him or Li Guifei, they are no exception. They subconsciously feel that someone with a background like Gao Pragmatic has been educated at home for generations.
Origin, high pragmatism under the words and deeds of the elders, even if you are younger, your knowledge cannot be inferior.
What's more, Concubine Li has just seen "a masterpiece of high pragmatism". Although she has only seen the first chapter of "Longwen Whip Shadow" for the time being, it has already made Shen Shixing, the number one scholar at that time, and the other six elders who passed through the pavilion.
The carefully selected prince was full of praise for his performance as an official. Wouldn't it be better to hide his clumsiness if he tried to test his skills?
So Li Guifei only asked some personal matters about Gao Jingshi. The details made Gao Jingshi feel that he was too influenced by the history books, and the history books overestimated the current Concubine Li and the future Empress Dowager Li. Because
Some of the questions that Concubine Li asked him today seemed too trivial no matter how you looked at them——
Gao Aiqing is extremely knowledgeable. I wonder how old he was when he became enlightened?
Gao Aiqing's handwriting is quite good, and coincidentally, he is working with the prince Zhao Ti. Do you know other styles of writing?
I heard that your father has been staying in Xinzheng to educate the children, which is really rare. Gao Aiqing must have benefited a lot from it?
Although Mr. Gao, Mr. Shen and other lecturers have the final say on the prince's studies, since Gao Aiqing is pretending to be a bachelor, if the prince fails to study for anything, you should advise him in time. Gao Aiqing, do you understand?
…
I have asked a lot about all these things, but no matter how you look at them, they all seem to be nonsense, without any salt at all.
While Gao Pragmatic was responding, he was thinking in his mind, the imperial concubine's words were being hit here and there with a hammer and a stick, and she couldn't hit them with eight sticks. Is she just asking casually, or did she mean something?
In the end, it was Long Qing who helped him out, and said to Concubine Li with a smile: "My dear concubine, if you keep asking like this, you will ask how old Gao Aiqing was when she was weaned."
If he hadn't been worried about "disrespecting the king", Gao Pingshi would have laughed out loud. Zhu Yijun on the other side also looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter.
Concubine Li was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She was not very afraid of Long Qing. She rolled her eyes at her man and said angrily: "The emperor wants me to come and take a look again, and he thinks my question is trivial. Well, I won't ask anymore."
Long Qing smiled and said, "Don't be upset, my dear, I'm just joking. If my dear, you want to ask, Gao Aiqing will have a lot of time to come to the palace in the future, you can just call him to ask at any time." After that, he turned to Feng Bao and said, "Feng
"Guaranteed, please pass on my message later. Gao Aiqing is the prince's reading companion and should always be by his side, so he is specially allowed to travel in the imperial court."
Feng Bao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: If you are allowed to walk in the imperial court, you can freely enter and exit the palace. Isn't this a bit too much? The Gao family boy is young, but he is also a foreign minister after all. He can enter and exit the palace at will...
When Long Qing saw him standing still and not answering, he frowned and said, "Why, do you have any objection?"
"How dare you, slave?" Feng Bao quickly lowered his head, bent down and said, "I'm afraid of the discussion from the outside court."
"Then add a time limit. Before the prince's wedding, he must be pragmatic and walk in the inner court." Long Qing waved his hands and said: "There is nothing to say now, right? Well, they have to say what's going on in the world, and they have to dictate what the rules are in my family.
Is it done?"
Of course this is the case. After all, no matter what the emperor said, he would not have the hobby of cuckolding himself. If Gao Pragmatic hadn't been young, how could he have given such a privilege? Limit a period and set it well before the prince's wedding.
That's fine. After all, princes usually get married relatively early, and Gao Pragmatic was still young at that time. What could possibly happen?
Taking a step back, even if Gao Pragmatic had the power to enter and leave the palace, would he still be able to wander around the inner court? Are the middle officials in the inner court just decorations and not sending people to follow him?
At this time, the prince Zhu Yijun found an opportunity to talk to Gao Pingshi, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Gao, in terms of your identity as a fake bachelor, you should be considered a half-teacher, but you are also with Gu."
Those who study at the Sutra Banquet are more like classmates, which one do you think is the right character?"
Facing Zhu Yijun, Gao Pragmatic could be a little less formal, so he said with a smile: "The prince is joking, pretending to be a bachelor is just a favor from your majesty, so that my status in the outside world looks more noble, but in fact it is not true. Ruomeng
If the prince does not give up, naturally I and His Highness are classmates."
Long Qing and Li Guifei nodded secretly as they listened. They felt in their hearts that this little guy Gao Pragmatic was, among other things, at least not the kind of frivolous kid who dared to open a dyeing workshop for just three points of color. With him by the prince's side, it was indeed better than that.
It makes people feel more at ease to have the noble disciples of the military officials.
Zhu Yijun was also very happy - what he was happy about was different from that of his parents. What he was happy about was that as a prince, he could have a classmate, which was really rare. At that moment, he nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, okay
, it would be great to be a classmate. I will not have the opportunity to take part in the imperial examination in the future. It is hard to judge what my knowledge will be by then, but it will be different with you here. We must study hard. It is best to have different knowledge in the future.
It’s as if, then you take the scientific examination, then you can compare your scores and you will know how well you have learned!”
In fact, he didn't finish his words, but Gao Pingshi knew in his heart that another important factor why Zhu Yijun was so happy was the "new experience". After all, as a prince, he could only study alone alone, but now he
Being able to have multiple companions is an unexpected new feeling - the prince is also a human being, what child is willing to play alone?
On the contrary, Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised when Zhu Yijun said this.
It seems that Zhu Yijun, at least at this stage, is very willing to study and make progress.
