"Concubine, Princess Nissa of Tianzhu, I respectfully request His Majesty the Emperor to be blessed with gold and peace......"

The words are correct and round, and the one who speaks fluently is Zebu. Kindness. Princess Nissa. The real life of this Indian princess is much more beautiful than the portrait she gave to Zhu Cihong.

The princess has a very good figure, tall and slender, slim, and very white skin, she doesn't look like an Indian at all (she is not an Indian in the first place), her facial features are very three-dimensional, and very delicate, the bridge of her nose is straight, her cherry lips are dotted, her eyebrows are curved, and her eyes look larger than those in the portrait, very deep. The only fly in the ointment is that the forehead is a little big...... Zhu Cixiong, who has been studying hard in Yingtianfu Taixue for four years, has seen a lot of such foreheads - this is the brain of a scholar!

And this princess's learning ability is indeed worthy of her brain!

Three months ago, when the princess met Zhu Ciwei for the first time, she still spoke a "forehead" Shanxi dialect, and it has only been a long time, and she is already very fluent in Yingtianguan, and there is no taste of old Shanxi vinegar at all.

In addition to Ying Tianguan's words, the princess's reading ability has also improved by leaps and bounds, she can recognize thousands of Chinese characters, and her grammar is also rude, a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can already be read, and "Zi On Gewu" and "Confucian Classics" can also be read!

Thinking of "Zi On Gewu", Zhu Ciwei admires her future imperial sister-in-law even more - although she can't quite understand the original version of "Zi On Gewu", she can already understand the Arabic version of "Zi On Gewu", and she can also interpret a quarter of the sentences, and the interpretation is basically accurate.

Of course, her interpretation is not original, but a quotation from a large number of Arabic editions of Western philosophical works, which are the fruits of the early century-old translation movement of the Tianfangjiao!

What made Zhu Ciwei even more amazed was that Her Royal Highness the princess was very fond of collecting books and researching knowledge, and she spent most of her annuity on collecting books and hiring scholars to study, copy, and translate these collections.

In her own mansion, there is quite possibly the largest private library in India, with a vast collection of books on philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, literature, law, theology, and history—almost all of the books that have been forgotten elsewhere from the centuries-old translation movement can be found in her library! If she can bring all the books she has back to the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be of great help to the study of the "Zi Treatise on Gewu"!

The princess, who was facing the portrait of Zhu Cihong and was seriously practicing the etiquette of the Ming court, heard the footsteps from behind, so she stood up, turned around, and saw her "tutor" Zhu Cixi.

Princess Nissa and Zhu are about the same age, both are scholars, and both are proficient in mathematics and philosophy, so they have many common languages and can talk very well......

"Your Royal Highness, Haifu," the princess gave Zhu Ciwei a very standard blessing, and then asked with a smile, "Did I pass my math exam?" ”

Zhu Ciwei came to send math exam papers to the imperial sister-in-law - a total of 108 geometry questions, all of which were difficult problems that Zhu Ciwei dug out of his hollow thoughts. According to Zhu Cixiong's request, if you answer one question incorrectly, you can't pass!

But unfortunately, Princess Nissa answered all the questions correctly, and it was clear and logical......

"Passed, all 108 questions were answered correctly!" Zhu Ciwei smiled a little unnaturally.

"And how did I do in Arabic and Persian?" The princess asked again with a smile.

"Very good...... Impeccable! Zhu Ciwei didn't know what was going on, and he didn't really want this princess to pass the exam.

But Princess Nissa is historically remembered as a poet in Arabic and Persian, how could she fail the Arabic and Persian exams?

Of the four exam subjects, two perfect scores have been obtained...... Now there are two more subjects, martial arts and Chinese.

There is nothing to say about martial arts, Zhu Cihong has already seen it, the level of the general Nissa is not up to it, but it is absolutely first-class in the harem - Zhu Cihong asked the concubines to practice martial arts, mainly for two purposes, one is to let them strengthen their bodies, there is no clever medicine these days, if you want to prolong your life, you have to exercise!

The second is so that they can teach their children to practice martial arts and fitness, and have a good body since childhood, so that they can do great things for the Zhu Ming Dynasty in the future!

And Princess Nissa has a very good foundation, and with the personal guidance of Aurangzeb, a famous teacher, she can definitely pass the exam...... Moreover, the princess's martial arts exam was not in charge of Zhu Cixi, but by the "eunuch who followed Zhu Ciwei to India".

Now there is only one Chinese language left to make things difficult.

And Princess Nisha's Chinese proficiency is also better than Zhu Ciwei imagined - those two Shanxi people are still quite responsible, except for teaching a mouthful of old vinegar Shanxi dialect, everything else is very good. And Princess Nissa studied for three months with Zhu Ciwei and the "widow palace maid" and the eunuch Kenan brought by Zhu Cixi, and her accent has almost changed, and her oral level has improved by leaps and bounds......

This is the princess of a few people's families!

Thinking of this, the charter king Zhu Ciwei had no choice but to smile slightly, and said to Princess Nisha: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I have already brought the Chinese test paper...... The Son of Heaven's request is only rough, so it is relatively easy to pass. ”

Princess Nissa laughed, "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely pass and will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Ciwei sighed again in his heart - Her Royal Highness the princess had never even seen Zhu Cihong's real person, but she was already dead, and the more difficult she was by the exam, the more energetic she became, and it seemed that she had made up her mind to overcome all difficulties and send herself to Emperor Zhu's bed!

It seems that this Nissa is someone else's princess......

The charter king had no choice but to smile: "Princess, then let's start the test......"

......

"Hmph, it's really unheard of to take a concubine and take an exam...... He's not afraid of harem politics! ”

"Your Royal Highness, I heard that Emperor Zhu is taking the exam to select concubines, just to facilitate the harem to do politics!"

"And what's going on? Isn't this a faint king! ”

"It's not all because of faintness, but because of some statistical ......"

"Unified what?"

"Statistics...... It's a summary calculation, to find out the rules or something. It is said that since Zhu Ming became the ancestor Zhu Di, there have been many people who have been kings for the age. And most of these young kings grew up in the deep palace, had shallow experience, and did not know the affairs of the world, so they could only rely on others to hold power. or the queen mother, or the eunuch, or the minister. Zhu Cihong probably felt that the eunuchs and ministers were unreliable, and he still had to rely on his mother. ”

"Hmph, just by virtue of this, the Emen Dashun is a hundred times stronger than the Zhu family! I'm twenty-six this year, and I'm still a grandson......"

On the Paladep pier in Orissa Province, while watching the loading of the ship, it was Li Jicheng, the grandson of Emperor Dashun, and Song Yaowen, Li Jicheng's military advisor, who were talking.

Speaking of being a grandson at the age of 26, Li Jicheng couldn't help but sigh.

If he still has a little hope, this grandson is really anxious! When will it be the turn of the emperor to be the emperor?

"Don't worry," Song Yaowen lowered his voice, "The emperor fell ill at the end of last year, and I heard that he was very thin and always thirsty. I have already let the doctor see it, and it is said that it is thirst quenching disease...... Can't be cured! ”

It turns out that Li has diabetes - it seems that eating too many meat buns is not good!

Li Jicheng sighed again: "It's not the right time for Grandpa to fall ill!" Aurangzeb's army was about to come, but his old man was terminally ill, and he was a virtuous grandson, so he had to go back to Wuhua Mountain. ”

"Taisun rest assured," Song Yaowen said, "Gao Yidao is a general of the Shun Dynasty, and the newly built fortress of Paladpu is impregnable, and it will definitely be able to defend it." With this base, you will be able to come back next year, and you can make a big profit again! ”

Li Jicheng nodded and said, "Yes, with Tianzhu's silver, Dashun is not afraid that there will be no money and food available!" ”
