Houfu Key Class

But since the Crown Princess herself was not nervous, Xu Wan slowly relaxed and said softly: "Your Majesty is about to give birth, so you should pay more attention to rest in the near future and don't be affected by some vague rumors."

The Crown Princess smiled and said calmly: "Are you talking about the rumors about Jin Cheng's identity? I really don't care about it. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and it's normal to have many women and children. As long as His Highness admits that Jin Cheng is his My child, I can take him into the East Palace and raise him at any time.”

Xu Wan: "..." OK, I'll count on you to be lenient.

She said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking this matter. People outside are spreading rumors about this matter. Your Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son. If it were any other child, he would definitely rescue him."

The princess thought to herself: Of course I know it is fake.

She originally thought that the prince did not answer her question at that time, but when the rumors spread, she understood that his highness had already told her that he trusted her.

So she also had to be his back-up.

"Mrs. Zong, don't worry. I will definitely give birth to this child safely." The Crown Princess stroked her belly with tenderness in her eyes. "The imperial doctor diagnosed that it may be a girl. His Highness said that he will definitely look like me when he grows up, but I I hope she can be like Your Highness.”

Xu Wan has no prejudice against male and female, but in this dynasty that values ​​heirs, they are also nobles of the Eastern Palace. From a rational point of view, they should need a legitimate son to consolidate their status.

But the Crown Princess's eyebrows were very demure, like a mother who just wanted her child to be born safely and live healthily.

Xu Wan thought that was fine. The death rate of girls in the palace was not as high as that of boys. This child was hard-won. She also hoped that the little princess would be well.

General Pang's Mansion.

The fact that the Zong family brought Zong Jincheng into the palace today was reported back to their house, and General Pang's mentality exploded.

"Look, let's just say he is the illegitimate son of the prince. Qingyi tricked him into drinking Hedinghong and he dared to drink it. Now he is not in good health and he summoned the child in a hurry. If this is not his real father, it is really difficult to end it! "

Military Advisor Gou nodded calmly and analyzed: "Yes, general, this child cannot be the third lady's. Let's hurry up and write a letter to the general, lest he be deceived and help the prince to raise the child for nothing."

General Pang nodded repeatedly: "That's right! I'm going to write a letter right now. The general doesn't know who heard the nonsense. He looks similar to the third lady. I don't think they look alike. That kid is also a dandy from the fourth capital city." What does the title have to do with the gentle and virtuous third lady? Oh, I was almost deceived by the prince, how insidious!"

Military Advisor Gou also quickly agreed: "Yes, the prince is too smart, there is no way we will be fooled by him!"

The two of them came together for the first time and came to the final conclusion.

After he finished writing the letter and sent it out, General Pang continued to look for someone among the 308 portraits. From time to time he would cry out in despair: "Help, why are so many boys born on the sixth day of July? They are really capable of giving birth!"

"I can't find it all. I can't find it at all."

"..."

The rumors in the capital became more and more fierce, so Zong Jincheng felt like someone was looking at him as soon as he went out. Even the guards at the door of the mansion glanced at him from time to time.

The little devil turned around quickly, but didn't catch any of them. They were all so serious that they didn't seem to be peeking at him.

But it's just different. The feeling of being peeped can be felt by the body even if the eyes can't see it.

The little devil soon couldn't stand it any longer and started making trouble with Xu Wan, asking her to find a way to solve it.

Xu Wan couldn't laugh or cry: "There are so many mouths in Beijing, how can I stop them? How about I write you a picture book and make up a love story about your parents so that everyone will think that you have your own parents?"

The little devil thought for a while and nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Xu Wan: "..."

I'm just talking casually.

But the little devil took it seriously and pushed her to find someone to write a painting notebook. Xu Wan looked at the sky speechlessly, but still rejected him harshly.

"This is your father and your mother's private matter. If we make up stories and feelings for them like this, they will definitely blame you when they find out in the future." Xu Wan said, "To put it seriously, this is called slander."

The little devil curled his lips and said aggrievedly: "But they all talk nonsense and look at me randomly, so I can't even go out. I'm not happy."

Xu Wan pointed to the countdown note on the wall and reminded: "Kids, you have fifty days to go to take the exam. You can just retreat and sprint and concentrate on preparing for the children's department."

"What about my reputation and that of the prince?" The little devil continued to be dissatisfied.

Xu Wan sighed and said: "The prince and the princess are not afraid of embarrassment, what are you afraid of? Besides, there are too many rumors in the capital, and they will pass after a while. After a month or two, who will remember you? Oh, that's not right. , if you pass the exam as a boy, maybe everyone will remember your new identity."

"Tongzilang?" The little devil's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Xu Wan said, "Those who are admitted to the Tongzi Department are called Tongzilang. This is their exclusive title for prodigies."

The little devil felt so powerful that he immediately ran back to the key class and took the papers: "Come on, this prodigy must win the boy boy!"

Xu Wan smiled and shook her head, helpless and funny: "This kid..."

In late February, good news came from the East Palace.

The little princess was born safely.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was overjoyed.

Friends of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were all happy that they had their first child. It was not easy for the couple to finally have the fruit of their love after six years.

The enemies of the prince and the princess were all happy that they did not give birth to a legitimate son, so that the prince's power would not continue to grow. The emperor is in his prime, and the prince is in poor health. If he dies early in the future, and there is no legitimate son, it is not certain which prince will succeed him in the future.

At the beginning of March, the children's examination is coming soon.

The three candidates in the Hou Mansion's key class are still doing the last three sets of sprint test papers. Xu Wan asked someone to spend money to collect real test papers for children's subjects over the years, and then three private tutors integrated and screened them, selected the key points that must be tested, and then drafted these three mock test papers.

The little devil has been reading and doing test papers at home recently. After eliminating all interference from the outside world, his concentration level has reached a higher level. He can now finish a set of test papers in half an hour while keeping the fonts neat and clear.

Pan Hongzhi was very pleased. Although it was the most difficult thing to teach this little kid, the sense of accomplishment after teaching him well was unparalleled. While he smiled with satisfaction, he did not forget to add a few words: "Jincheng, during the exam Don’t lie down and write on the test paper to avoid smearing the wet ink on the test paper.”

The little devil nodded and said: "I know!"
