Chapter 97: Respect Teachers and Dao at Juhong Wenguan

The sunny morning, with the unique cool breeze of autumn, makes people very comfortable.

Fang Chen woke up from the bed with sleepy eyes. Looking at the little girl lying on top of him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Puan, why did you come to me again?"

The little girl has now moved to the side hall of Kunning Palace, but she is not in the same place as Fang Chen. Fang Chen has to put her to sleep every night.

The next morning, the first thing she did after waking up was to run to Fang Chen.

"Second brother, Pu'an is hungry!"

The twist of this title made Fang Chen salivate a lot. If he kept calling him "big brother", something would always feel wrong.

Originally, he didn't bother to care about it, but what Pu'an said about the prince-in-law had sounded the alarm to his eldest grandson Wugou. His son was so outstanding that he was easily missed by his daughter.

Therefore, we can only make fundamental changes, first change the name, and then slowly teach Pu'an to ensure that there will be no unforeseen changes.

Fang Chen agreed very much. He had never considered marrying a princess.

You heard it right, marrying is not marrying! In the Tang Dynasty, if you were married to a princess, you would say Princess Shang, which probably meant marrying the princess.

Of course, you still have some autonomy, for example... marry a concubine?

Even princesses cannot escape the baptism of polygamy. In order to ensure the relationship between husband and wife to the greatest extent, most princes-in-law will, like Chai Shao, fill the house with a concubine who is the princess's maid.

After finishing the digression, we turned back to Fang Chen and took Pu An to wash his face together, and then went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the Queen.

Li Zhi has grown up a lot these days. Although his body is still very soft, he likes to communicate with others.

Zhizhiyaya, many times you have to rely on guessing to understand what he means.

Fang Chen's attitude is even more surprising. No matter when he sees Fang Chen, he always smiles and is very happy.

"Second brother, Sister Liu said, Pu'an wants to go to Hongwen Hall with you to study today?"

Fang Chen smiled and said, "Girl, aren't you willing?"

Pu'an quickly shook his head and held Fang Chen tightly, "Pu'an don't separate from your second brother."

Fang Chen thought to himself, maybe when the girl is older, she might understand the difference between men and women.

Besides, isn't it normal for a sister to pester her brother?

I took Pu'an to see Empress Changsun early and met Li Tai on the way. The three of them got together and headed to Hongwen Pavilion.

The Hongwen Pavilion is located in the palace, but it is far away from the scope of the inner palace.

At the entrance of Hongwen Hall, Yan Wuyou had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Fang Chen arriving, he hurried forward to carry his backpack.

"Your Highness, who is this?"

"My sister, Pu'an."

Yan Wuyou quickly withdrew his eyes. He must not worry about things he shouldn't.

"Call Brother Wuyou."

"Brother Wuyou~"

"You can't do that, please be safe, Your Highness the Princess."

Entering the inner hall, there were quite a few people inside at the moment, most of whom Fang Chen had seen before. After all, the princes were often the first to arrive.

"Second brother!"

Li Chengqian stood up to greet him and took Pu'an in his hand.

"Why don't you call me second brother quickly?"

Then I saw a group of little girls gathered around. Four or five of them were all dressed in luxurious clothes. They should be princesses that Fang Chen had not interacted with before.

You say they are Yingying Yanyan? It always feels a little inconsistent! But you want to say that these girls are cute lolita? Fang Chen disagrees, his scalp is numb and his eardrums are bulging, it is too noisy.

After everyone said a word, Fang Chen fell into a state of downtime.

Fortunately, a slightly mature girl blocked these little girls and said, "Don't make any trouble. Go back to your seat."

The group of little princesses immediately dispersed. Li Tai, who was beside Fang Chen, greeted the girl and said, "I've met my eldest sister!"

Fang Chen also dared to salute, "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Xiangcheng!"

This girl looks to be a year older than Fang Chen and Li Chengqian. After all, she is Li Shimin's first daughter. Although she is not as high-status as the eldest princess Chang Le, she is friendly to others and is quite popular in the palace.

"No, second brother, please just call me eldest sister. Fourth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm really blessed."

Li Tai laughed and said, "Sister, the last time I saw you was half a year ago. Where have you been these days?"

Xiangcheng smiled and said: "Speaking of which, if the Hongwen Museum had not been opened, I would have stayed in the palace and studied female beauties!"

In the early years, Xiangcheng had stayed with Changsun, otherwise he would not have gained Li Tai's respect.

Don't think that princesses can do whatever they want. Princesses who are not direct relatives usually have to learn to be nuns in the palace from the age of eight. At the same time, there are special female officers to teach them some precautions after marrying as wives.

If we really rank them according to the genealogy, the real eldest sister should be Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, the second in line in Xiangcheng.

"Nanping, Sui'an, why don't you come up to see me?"

Two more came, both taller than Fang Chen. There was no way that in this age group, girls were generally taller than boys.

"Nanping, I have met my second brother! I have met your fourth highness!"

"Sui'an, I've met my second brother! I've met your fourth highness!"

Why are there two titles? Let’s start with Pu’an. There is a difference between concubine and concubine. Fang Chen is an adopted son who has nothing to do with it. But his standing up for Pu’an is equivalent to saving the entire concubine’s princess.

Some thin noodles are naturally more respectful.

"No, please do it quickly. I will arrange some food for lunch. Please give me a thumbs up, brothers and sisters."

Fang Chen was very polite, and the princesses were naturally very happy. His Highness's cook was one of the best in the imperial city!

Many aristocratic children came one after another, but they couldn't enter the inner hall yet. Most of them sat in the outer hall to study. There were differences between men and women. The princes and princesses in the inner hall were fine. If there were more people, they would inevitably be criticized.

A white-haired old man entered the inner hall and coughed slightly to interrupt the noise of these dragons and phoenixes.

Led by Li Chengqian, Fang Chen and Li Tai, the three of them stood up and said respectfully: "Good morning, sir!"

This habit belongs to Fang Chen, and he does it every time he goes to see Li Yuan. Over time, the other two people also learned it.

Others hurriedly stood up and followed suit. The old man was very happy and respectfully responded to everyone: "Old Kong Yingda, I have met your highnesses!"

I am secretly happy in my heart that all the princes and princesses in the palace are so respectful to their teachers. The future is promising!

"From today onwards, I will be your highnesses' gentleman at the Hongwen Hall. I wonder if your highnesses have any questions?"

Li Chengqian didn't ask, and neither did Fang Chen, but Li Tai was curious!

He stood up and bowed to Kong Yingda first, then opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder what Sir is going to teach us?"

The princes and princesses are all different. There are few complete readers of the Four Books and Five Classics. If Kong Yingda were to teach the Analects again, it would be like useless to the princes who have learned it. But if the Analects is skipped and other things are taught directly, it will be obscure and difficult for many who have not yet learned it.

What should the princes and princesses who have been exposed to schoolwork do?

Li Tai's question caught his mind and gave Kong Yingda a headache. Before, he had only thought about the great glory he would get from this matter, but he had forgotten that the basis was different and the teaching method was also very different.
