Fortunately, he was not discovered by Li Fuzi, and He Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that the third princess Yunjing, who was sitting next to her, cast a slanted eye of contempt.

Princess Yunjing is a tall and arrogant person, but because her seat is on the road that Qi Hou must pass, and she is too lazy to argue with anyone, she has to do such a sneaky thing.

He Xuan has long intended to befriend Princess Yunjing, not only because of Yunjing's maternal grandfather's family, but also because the Xuanyuan family is from a very noble background. is also because the water in the harem has always been turbid, but Mrs. Xuanyuan and her children can be alone, which must have extraordinary abilities.

But who would have thought that before He Xuan and Yunjing could talk, they would offend each other because of such a trivial matter, which really made her cry and laugh.

Because he was afraid that the rather dignified Li Fuzi would find out, and He Xuan didn't have time to think about anything, so he continued to read aloud the scroll in his hand.

At this moment, the main hall was filled with the sound of loud reading, and although everyone read at different speeds, it did not seem noisy or chaotic.

This "Poems with Divine Mist" is not long, and it took them a long time to read each one hundred times under the command of Master Li.

About an hour later, He Xuan finished reading. Of course, this is when she doesn't misremember. But even if it's wrong, no one will find out.

Most of the people who have read it a hundred times are reciting it quietly. He Xuan also put down the scroll in his hand, rubbed his already sore wrist, and thought about starting to try to recite it silently.

During the silent recitation, He Xuan raised her head, looked at the distance of the horizontal line with a somewhat empty look, and then was surprised to find that her father had been sitting behind the golden silk nanmu table at some point, looking at the children reading in the hall with great interest.

As more and more people finished reading, the temple gradually fell silent. Slowly, only the young Fifth Prince Ji Gong, the Sixth Prince Ji Yu, and the Eighth Princess Lan Zhi were still holding the scroll and reading hard.

Zhou Tianzi looked at the children in the hall who were reading and reciting seriously with great satisfaction, and rarely smiled, showing a smile on his face, looking like a loving father.

The children who had finished reading naturally found the emperor sitting in the main hall, but everyone had a tacit understanding that they did not make a sound or salute, and only patiently waited for the three youngest children to finish reading.

Li Fuzi did not show the slightest fear in front of the emperor, and still paced, walking around the hall and pointing.

After a cup of tea, when everyone had read the hundredth time, the emperor smiled and praised the studious children in the palace, and solemnly introduced Master Li as a sign of respect.

The emperor is busy with state affairs, and he must go through the motions to show his importance when the harem school opens today. However, after speaking, he left in a hurry, surrounded by a group of palace people.

As soon as the emperor left, the children were relieved, and some princes and princesses even stretched their waists restlessly, and there was a commotion in the Ling Shu Palace. From beginning to end, Li Fuzi was the only one, his expression had never changed, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had the demeanor of a scholar.

He Xuan couldn't help but admire this Li Fuzi who was not afraid of the might of the Son of Heaven even more.

Li Fuzi answered the children's questions again, patiently explained the incomprehensible words, and then announced the arrival of lunch time under the reminder of the assistant teacher.

The royal family meal is very complicated, the dishes are complicated, and the palace people are also required to cloth the dishes. These little princes, princesses, and protons spend about an hour eating a royal meal on weekdays.

At this moment, the palace people lined up neatly with very delicately carved trays, and then stopped in front of each table, knelt down to place the trays, and then retreated in an orderly manner.

As a result, everyone has such a tray on their table, and the four small plates are: braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried shrimp balls, straw mushroom vegetables, and assorted stir-fried vegetables. Next to it is a bowl of hibiscus bamboo shoot soup, two delicate steamed buns, and a red apple.

These children of distinguished status looked at the contents of this tray and were a little dumbfounded. If you look around, there doesn't seem to be anything else to serve.

"What are these, four dishes and one soup? Where is this for people to eat! Princess Tianwei picked up the chopsticks with disgust, fiddled with the dishes on the tray at will, and muttered something in a low voice.

Ji Yu, the sixth-prince who was only four years old, knocked on the plate and echoed: "Don't eat this, don't eat this!" ”

For a while, discussions came and went, and Ling Shudian seemed very noisy.

"Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking." Li Fuzi said loudly in a deep and deep voice, and suddenly fell silent.

The thirteen-year-old prince of Wu Kingdom, Gu Fa Ziping, heard Princess Tianwei's complaint just now, so he stared at Li Fuzi's expressionless face, and said loudly with reproach: "Dare to ask Li Fuzi, why is the lunch given to us so simple?" ”

"Does Gongziping think these four dishes and one soup are simple? Ordinary people of Da Zhou live on four dishes and one soup every day, and those who are a little depressed cannot afford it. Li Fuzi was still expressionless, and his tone was flat.

"Huh." Princess Tianwei sneered and sneered: "Master Li, I'm afraid you have been in the people for a long time, this is the palace, we don't eat this kind of thing, tell them to withdraw these." ”

He Xuan looked at Tianwei, and sure enough, she looked like a pampered little princess. Tianwei has always had such a temperament, but she has been groomed and restrained in front of people with noble status. However, in the face of this Master Li, she was not so polite.

Li Fuzi was born as a commoner, although he was quite famous, and he was also highly respected when he entered the palace to teach. But in the eyes of Princess Tianwei, this is just a high-grade minion.

Li Fuzi raised his eyelids slightly, looked at the eight-year-old girl, and explained: "The princess is a noble person, so she doesn't need to eat these. However, as a royal family, being prepared for danger in times of peace and experiencing the hardships of the people's livelihood is the cornerstone of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”

When He Xuan heard this, he admired Li Fuzi even more in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Ji Qi immediately nodded in agreement, picked up the chopsticks, and then said with a brotherly look: "What Master Li said is very true, let's eat quickly." Lunch was only half an hour. ”

Princess Yunjing, who was still on the side just now, heard her brother's words, and said lightly: "What the royal brother said is right." Then he picked up the steamed bun with one hand, and picked up the dish with chopsticks in the other, and ate it.

People's eyes have always only focused on the crown prince Ji Rong, but now that he is not attending classes in Ling Shudian because he is an adult, Ji Qibian has become the focus of everyone's eyes. The words of the prince on Tuesday, coupled with Princess Yunjing's timely echo, these half-grown children still listened.

In this way, these honorable children were silent, and buried their heads in the food on the tray.

Princess Tianwei has been accustomed to being surrounded by brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and she has not been angry with anyone in the harem.

She continued: "Master Li, after I get out of class, I will go to report to my father. That's how you, the teacher, mistreated us. ”

Li Fuzi was still unfazed, and only said slowly: "When Your Majesty asked me to be a teacher in the Royal Academy, Your Majesty approved my proposal. However, these four dishes and one soup are carefully prepared after the improvement of the imperial dining room, and the nutrition is balanced, which will not affect your body. ”

Then, Li Fuzi seemed to suddenly remember something, and added, "Not only today, but every day in the future, there will be four dishes and one soup for lunch, but the dishes are different." ”

Hearing that she would have to eat these things for lunch every day in the future, Princess Tianwei almost fainted.

However, this matter has the permission of her father, and a group of princes and princesses obey her orders, Princess Tianwei can't say anything anymore, she only adds a few bites of food to eat at will, but her little head wants to complain to her mother after class.

Complicated dishes and quantities are omitted, and the steps of the palace people are eliminated, and many people eat them with only two cups of tea, leaving a lot of time to go around.

He Xuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, slowly wiped the oil stuck to his mouth with a handkerchief, and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

When her eyes looked at the thick seat, she saw that the latter was also looking at her with gentle eyes.

Qi Hou obviously finished eating a long time ago, and just waited patiently in his seat. At this moment, seeing that Hexuan had finished eating, the two of them smiled, and then got up one after another and walked out of the main hall.

"Sister Hexuan, it's been a few days, don't come unharmed!" Qi Hou, who had just walked out of the Ling Shu Palace, saw that there was no one around, so he smiled and said to him.

He Xuan also smiled and said casually: "Everything is fine with He Xuan, Brother Lao Qihou is worried." Somehow, when he said the words "Brother Qi Hou", He Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Since Qi Hou's birthday, the two have not seen each other for nearly a month, so naturally they have a lot to say.

Especially the matter of the crown princess's slippery tire, and Xuan was also involved for no reason, Qi Hou inevitably asked a few more questions.

Although He Xuan was close to Qi Hou, she didn't tell Qi Hou what she did behind her back, but only pretended to be a witness who unfortunately went to the place of the incident and hastily brought it over.

However, she asked about Qi Xiuyi's recent situation with great concern, Empress Zhao did not get rid of Qi Xiuyi and the six princes because of Concubine Lian's affairs that time, she was always faintly worried that Empress Zhao would do it again.

The lunch break lasted for an hour, and it took them less than half an hour to eat, and they had a lot of time to wander around the small courtyard behind the Ling Shu Palace.

Although the backyard of the Lingshu Hall is not as magnificent as the Imperial Garden, it also has carefully arranged rockeries, flowing water, and various flowers and plants. Qi Hou and He Xuan were walking and chatting inside, so uncomfortable.

"The second princess is really in good interest today!" A familiar voice came from behind and into the ears of the two men.
