Chapter 98: I Don't Understand the Four Books and Haven't Listened to the Five Classics
"May I ask, Your Highnesses, how many of you have studied the Analects of Confucius?"
Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Tai stood up, and Kong Yingda set his sights on Fang Chen.
"Your Highness?"
Fang Chen smiled and said: "Sir, you taught me the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and the great Analects of Confucius, but I haven't started studying yet."
Kong Yingda was surprised and said: "How can you not learn from the works of Meng Xue?"
I was going to scold him, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that this gentleman is the Supreme Emperor.
Fang Chen didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, but asked: "I wonder what Mr. Kong has to say?"
Kong Yingda smiled and said: "Since only three of your highnesses have learned the Analects, for the sake of the rest of your highnesses, why don't we learn it again? After your majesty promulgated the punctuation law, I have a new understanding of the Analects, and I think I will not disappoint you all."
Li You in the back row stood up and said, "My second brother did the punctuation!"
"Youer, don't be rude!"
Li Chengqian quickly scolded the brat and told him to sit down and stop causing trouble.
There was a trace of cold sweat on Kong Yingda's forehead. How could he forget this?
The other little guys snickered one after another, and the atmosphere became a little solemn. Fang Chen had to stand up again and said, "Sir, please teach me."
This relieved the embarrassment and gave Kong Yingda a step down.
"The Master said: Learn and practice from time to time..."
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen spent the whole morning in regret. What kind of learning is this? It simply guides you to read, keep reading, and after reading, I still ask you what you mean!
Is there anyone who teaches like this? When the Supreme Emperor taught him, he used more interpretation methods to help Fang Chen understand, but when it came to Kong Yingda, it was simply a kind of torture.
Shaking his head, the lingering sound lingered in his ears for three hours without rest. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Li Tai sleeping with his eyes closed. Li Chengqian pinched himself from time to time to avoid making a fool of himself. Everyone else was already lying on the table...
After finally getting through it, Fang Chen had no energy at all and lay down on the low table with a very desperate expression.
"Master Yu, the meal is ready."
Xuan Shi walked in slowly, followed by several palace maids. The students in the outer hall were dumbfounded. There was a long aftertaste aroma wafting from each lunch box. Is this the palace?
"Send some to Huaiyu, Zhewei and Lingwu."
"It's been arranged, don't worry, Master Yu."
Fang Chen nodded, looked at the group of "brothers and sisters" behind him, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it suits your taste, so I can only arrange for people to make more. I hope you won't be disappointed."
"No, no, second brother, give it to me quickly!"
Li Tai ran directly to Fang Chen's table, and Li Chengqian occupied the other side. Although they were all cooked by the same cook, Fang Chen's portion was definitely more delicious, and they came to grab it as a habit.
Looking at the others, Li Ke thanked him, then took one and started tasting it.
Li You had eaten it a long time ago, so he naturally understood it. He sat obediently in front of his table and ate, not daring to mess around. The second brother said that he should not talk when he eats or sleeps, so he must listen.
Lizhi, Yuzhang and Pu'an are also "used to eating" and are very comfortable.
On the contrary, the concubine princesses like Xiangcheng and the others were slightly moved in their eyes and stepped forward to express their thanks.
"You're welcome. If you want to eat after class, come to Kunning Palace. My side hall can accommodate you."
"Second brother, Pu'an wants to eat with you!"
The little girl jumped over and competed with Li Tai for a seat. After all, it was just the three of them at the same table.
Fang Chen quickly hugged her to prevent her from falling.
Yu Zhang on the side hummed: "Disgusting!"
Li Zhi smiled and said nothing. Before Pu'an came, that position belonged to Yuzhang. As soon as Pu'an appeared, Yuzhang felt that he had fallen out of favor.
The inner hall is happy, and the outer hall is "prosperous".
"Huaiyu! Why are yours different from ours!"
Pointing at the lunch boxes of Qin Huaiyu and Chai Zhewei, Cheng Zhijie's eldest son Cheng Chumo's dark face almost revealed who he was.
"Yes, yes, Zhewei, how about you share some with me?" Li Chongyi, the eldest son of Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong, squeezed directly to Chai Zhewei and started to snatch it.
Qin Huaiyu smiled and said: "This is a reward from His Highness the Second Highness. Zhewei, Lingwu, I, and I are different from all the brothers, so don't count on it."
"That's right, eldest brother gave it to us!" Chai Lingwu said angrily, and at the same time he kicked the shameless second son of the Cheng family, Cheng Chuliang. This guy actually jumped up and licked the box. It was really disgusting.
"No, no, you can't have such a delicious thing all to yourself!"
After taking a big bite, Cheng Chumo couldn't be satisfied at all. It would be comfortable if he had the whole box for himself.
Then he was thrown three meters away by Qin Huaiyu, "Don't act like a fool, be careful. I'll tell Uncle Cheng when I go back."
Cheng Chumo pursed his lips, but still wanted to eat it. He took a bite just now when Qin Huaiyu wasn't paying attention. It was so delicious.
"Zhewei, how about you talk to His Highness the Second Highness and make some for us?"
"Be silent and be careful what you say!"
Qin Huaiyu shouted: "My father and Mr. Huo Guogong have a close relationship with His Highness the Second Highness, that's why they received this reward. I won't give you any more points. Don't say nonsense, otherwise your elders will not be able to spare you!"
The heirs of military commanders naturally understand what kind of "close relationship" there is, so they smiled and stepped forward to fight for it.
The civil servants seemed a little lonely. Logically speaking, Changsun Chong could be classified as the heirs of military generals. After all, he had a close relationship with the elders of these guys, but the bad thing was the previous fight.
Among the civil servants, the only one who received food as a gift from His Highness the Second Highness was Yan Wuyou. They were not familiar with each other at all and had not even exchanged a word with each other.
He lowered his head and looked at the lunch that had been brought to him at home. He felt very disgusted, as if he had just seen a thousand-mile horse, but underneath him was a bad horse, unable to catch up.
"Master Chai, my highness said that if it is not enough, I will ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you."
Chai Zhewei ignored the pleading looks of others and said, "I don't dare bother you. That's all. Please thank the Second Highness for me, sister."
"In that case, I'll take my leave, slave!"
Do you think they are greedy? In fact, there are a few who are even more greedy. Unfortunately, they can only watch but not eat. That is, gentlemen, they also want to eat! Having eaten at the palace banquet, they naturally know the taste. It is a pity that they belong to His Highness the Second Highness.
The cook cannot be called upon.
As for expecting His Highness the Second Highness to respect his master and give them a portion? Haha, Fang Chen has a sentence in his heart that I don’t know how to express. I have been tortured all morning, and I want you to be fed and tortured again?
After a full meal, I lay down in the inner hall, ignoring any posture and momentum, holding my stomach and feeling very satisfied.
Fang Chen had someone prepare some tea for them to make, so that none of them would end up getting sick from eating.
Leaning on Li Tai, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "It's better to be with you. If I were still in the East Palace, I'm afraid I would still be endorsing you at this moment."
Fang Chen prepared some candied fruits and placed them next to Li Chengqian. "With different identities, the things we endure are also different. After all, the prince brother is better than all his younger brothers and sisters, so naturally he has to suffer more."
Picking one up casually, he first stuffed one into Li Tai's mouth, who was using him as a cushion, and then ate the next one himself.
Li Chengqian sighed: "I'm exhausted mentally and physically, I'm really tired!"
Anyone who stayed with Fang Chen for a long time would feel that their previous life was dull and boring.
"Brother, if you don't go and talk to your father, do you think he will destroy you?"
Li Chengqian glared back at Li Tai, "You don't have anything nice to say. Do you want to be a prince?"
Li Tai curled his lips and said, "No, what's the use of that thing? It's not as fun as following the second brother. I even pointed the second brother to bring me more novel things!"
Patting Li Tai's already thick cheek, Li Chengqian felt very comfortable. He was respectful to his brothers and saved a lot of trouble!
Li Tai turned over, causing the cushionless Li Chengqian to fall to the ground. Li Tai stood up, grabbed Fang Chen and said, "Second brother, when are we going to have barbecue again?"
I always remember what the three brothers did together last time. It was a kind of happiness that no one else could enjoy.
Li Chengqian didn't care about what Li Tai had done to him just now, but was particularly concerned about the barbecue.
"Qingque is right. Second brother, why don't you go discuss it with your father?"
Fang Chen touched Pu'an who was already asleep in his arms and said with a smile: "We won't do the barbecue, let's do something else."
