Chapter 15 The old man in the pit
When Li Chengqian came out of Kong's mansion, Kong Yingda smiled and sent him to the gate.
"Master Kong asked him to go back, the student said goodbye!"
"Greatly send him to the Crown Prince!" Kong Yingda bowed with a smile, looked at Li Chengqian leaving, stroked his beard with a look of relief, and murmured in a low voice, "You can teach me!"
Just now in the mansion, Li Chengqian reflected deeply on his mistakes and apologized to Kong Yingda with a very sincere attitude. Kong Yingda also forgave Li Chengqian. By the way, he also told Li Chengqian a lot of truths, and Li Chengqian always listened respectfully and carefully.
Originally, he was just trying to show his majesty as the prince's teacher and to show the world an image of not fearing power and daring to speak out in a blunt way. He did not really want Li Chengqian.
...
After walking out of Kong Yingda's sight, Li Chengqian smiled and whispered to himself: "Hehe, Old Man Kong, my buddy's apology is not that good..."
If Kong Yingda saw Li Chengqian’s current appearance and heard his words, he would definitely not say anything “a child can teach”.
When he returned to the East Palace, Li Chengqian came to the study alone and told no one to disturb him, not to know what he was doing.
...
The next morning, Li Chengqian walked out of the study room with a strong anger, looked at the light sky, stretched, and said to himself: "The only inconvenience in ancient times is that there is no electricity. I felt like my eyes were blind all night."
If you look closely, you will find that Li Chengqian's eyes were red and there were very thick dark circles.
"Xia He, make a basin for me to dry water!" Li Chengqian shouted loudly, not whether Xia He could hear it. It was not that he didn't want to call others, but that the entire Eastern Palace was the only one who knew Xia He's name until now.
However, Xia He was indeed a conscientious maid, and soon came with a basin of cold water.
"Your Highness, have you not slept all night?" Xia He asked in surprise when he saw Li Chengqian's appearance.
"Yes, I wrote the article that I had written all night last night, and finally finished it!" Li Chengqian replied, and buried his entire head in the basin.
The stimulation of the cold water made him wake up a lot in an instant. He wiped his face casually. Li Chengqian said, "Okay, I'm going to school." After that, he took a stack of paper and left.
Xia He looked at Li Chengqian's back a little blankly. In her image, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is easy to learn, he has never stayed up late to write any articles. His work and rest time has always been very regular. What's wrong today?
Unable to understand the reason, Xia He didn't continue thinking about it, shook his head and walked into the study to prepare to clean up.
But the moment she walked into the study, she understood why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he had written articles all night, but when he left, he only took a few thin pieces of paper.
I saw the newly built wide desk in the study room and the ground were covered with pieces of paper.
Xia He looked at a corner of the desk in a daze. She had just received a knife of paper from the inner palace the day before yesterday and put it there, but now it is empty. It is obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually used up all the knife of paper last night!
"Oh my God, Your Highness is so wasteful!" After a long time of shock, Xia He let out a sigh, then seemed to think of something, crawled around the door with a panic look, hurriedly closed the door, patted his slightly raised chest, looked at him with lingering fear, and murmured to himself, "Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise his Highness would have to be punished again if he sued the Queen!"
Xia He couldn't help but be nervous. You should know that the Empress is famously "stingy". Not only can she save all the cost in the palace, but she even doesn't even have the skirt she wears!
For each princess, the princess’s expenses are even more stringent. Even the prince Li Chengqian, who only has one knife per month, will not give him any extras!
...
Not to mention Xia He secretly packed up the paper that Li Chengqian "wastes" with his paper, Li Chengqian hummed a small song all the way and came to Hongwen Hall early.
It was not time to start school at this time, so his younger brothers, sisters and classmates had not arrived yet. Li Chengqian didn't care, but walked directly to his seat and sat down. The eunuch outside the door said, "Go and pour me a glass of honey water!"
Although it only took a few days to travel, Li Chengqian has fallen in love with a drink like honey water! There is nothing to do if you don’t like it. There is really no other drink to drink!
Some people may say, can’t you drink tea? Please, it’s just the early Tang Dynasty. Tea is not soaked in boiling water like later generations, but instead makes the tea into powder, and then adds various seasonings and grease to cook in the pot...
Li Chengqian said that the baby can't afford to drink such "dark cuisine"...
...
Drinking honey water leisurely, Li Chengqian was thinking about his plan in his mind, and revenge for Kong Yingda's plan to report to avenge him!
"Hehe...tsk...hehe...hahaha..."
When the others came to the school, they saw Li Chengqian sitting in his position, holding his chin with one hand and smiling silently.
"Brother Prince, are you okay?" Li Lizhi, the little girl, also came. Seeing her brother's appearance, she tiptoed to him and carefully poked Li Chengqian's shoulder with her little finger.
"Ah? Lizhi?" Li Chengqian came to his senses and looked at Li Lizhi with fear on her face. He changed to a smile and said, "What's wrong, little girl, is there anything to do with her brother?"
"Brother Prince, are you okay?"
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Li Chengqian asked in confusion.
"You, you laughed so strangely just now, like a fool." Li Lizhi said very seriously.
Li Chengqian gently patted Li Lizhi's little head with a dark face and said, "Little girl, do you know what a fool is? When did your brother look like a fool? Brother is very good."
"Hmph, Lizhi certainly knows what a fool is. Lizhi has seen him." Lizhi said with a snorting.
"Oh, have you seen a fool? But my brother is not a fool. He was just thinking about things just now." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Ahem!"
Just then, Kong Yingda's coughing sounded, and he had arrived early today.
The children immediately returned to their positions like frightened birds and sat upright.
After Kong Yingda finished coughing, he walked in after a while. He was still serious and walked to his position in a square step. He glanced at the students and stopped at Li Chengqian for a moment.
"today……"
"Teacher, students need to report anything!" As soon as Kong Yingda was about to speak, Li Chengqian raised his hand and said.
Chapter completed!
