After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

[Oh, my handsome brother, go back and study! 】

The room was obviously lit with charcoal for heating, but both Liu promised and the fifth prince felt a little cold.

Xiao Chuchu remembered the contents of the book.

The more I recall, the more serious I feel that this incident has caused many subsequent tragedies to occur.

[My brother was beaten by his master and was humiliated in public. He also hired an imperial doctor because of his injury and was recorded in the daily living notes. At the Winter Festival three days later, the emperor's father didn't even let his brother show his face! 】

[This incident made the maids, eunuchs, and ministers of the previous dynasty all think that my brother had lost the emperor's heart! 】

[Later, my brother was looked down upon for a long time, so much so that when recommending the crown prince, none of the ministers considered my brother! 】

Xiao Chuchu's memories came rolling back.

The fifth prince was stiff for a moment, and soon his face returned to the expressionless expression of an adult.

He reached out and touched his sister's little face gratefully.

Everything my sister said last night came true.

Then this incident of going to the study room will probably happen.

He was so worried that he didn't sleep all night and was exhausted. This morning he learned that there was indeed something about his grandma, and he was even more heartbroken.

He went back and forth thinking hard about how he could prevent his mother from being buried, and how he could avoid the tragedy of being afraid of the new emperor and being unable to protect his grandfather's family.

According to this state, he will definitely not be able to concentrate in the study room today.

Even if he could memorize the article after reading it several times, he would probably not be able to pass the master's test today.

You will definitely be punished by the master!

It was later recorded by the recorder that he was unable to attend the ceremony as a prince because of his mistakes, which is probably true.

The fifth prince looked at his sister gratefully, but was extremely scared.

If it weren't for his sister, he might not have been able to escape this disaster.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Yaosheng.

Mother can't hear it, right?

Liu promised to be anxious too, but after last night, she became much bolder.

After all, it turns out that a daughter’s voice can be rewritten.

So Liu promised to look calm.

After thinking for a while, he smiled at the fifth prince.

"In the dead of winter, Cheng Qian came here like this without even wearing a cloak. Are you feeling cold?"

The mother really couldn't hear her sister's voice.

The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief. He just had an excuse to go back and study.

"My son was in a hurry to come over to see his mother and sister. He didn't feel it until now. Only now did he realize that he was a little cold."

Liu promised to put the stove into his hand immediately, "Your sister and I are fine, you can rest assured. The sun is not shining today, but it may rain later."

"Cheng Qian, while your weather is still good, go back to Qianxi Wusuo as soon as possible."

"When it rains, stay in the house and study hard. The New Year is approaching, and when E Niang was at home, your grandfather would often check the homework of E Niang's brothers at this time."

"If you don't study well, your New Year's red envelope will be confiscated."

The fifth prince looked stern.

Grandfather is wise.

He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, E Niang. After seeing my sister, Cheng Qian is relieved. He will definitely study hard in the near future."

Liu agreed and nodded with a smile.

[It seems that today’s test is about Chapter [-] of the Analects of Confucius...]

The Fifth Prince was startled.

"The Analects" Xianwen Chapter [-]?

This is what we learned today.

He strode out quickly.

*

After noon, the princes took a rest for an hour, and it rained heavily.

The riding and archery classes that were supposed to be held were temporarily cancelled.

All the princes went to the study room to review their scriptures.

But there is no master here at the moment, and there is a lot of movement in the study.

"Fifth brother, I heard that your sister was almost killed yesterday. Is it true?"

The Sixth Prince strode to the Fifth Prince's table.

Min Bin is his biological mother. Today, the maid next to her sent a message to him, asking him to pay more attention to his fifth brother in the study.

Don't let him worry, let alone be bullied in the study room.

The sixth prince is three months younger than the fifth prince, but he is sedentary and delicious, and his figure is wider and bloated than the fifth prince.

"Don't worry, fifth brother, my mother-in-law will protect your mother-in-law and your sister!" The sixth prince patted his chest.

The fifth prince looked up from the Analects of Confucius, and the usual ruthless coldness in his eyes melted a little, "Thank you, sixth brother."

"Is there still this?"

"Fifth brother, is it true or false?"

The other princes looked over curiously.

"Thank you for your concern, brothers. My sister is fine."

The fifth prince stood up and bowed his hands to the eldest brother to the fourth brother one by one.

I don’t know which new emperor my sister is talking about.

Because he was afraid that he would be praised by the people, he killed all his mother's family.

The new emperor is really cruel!

The fifth prince suppressed the gloom in his eyes, quickly sat down, and picked up his pen again to copy.

The third prince was very bored. He thought something was going on, but the fifth prince ended it with just one sentence.

He glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and sighed.

"A good riding and shooting lesson has been delayed."

As he spoke, he took out the storybook tucked into the book and read it.

"I'm telling you, fifth brother, don't work too hard. The rest of us can't do anything about it, but you just happened to take advantage of your sister being killed and take a day off to go back and take a look. It's a free day!"

The fourth prince looked at the fifth prince enviously.

He sat on the floor in the study room and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Fourth brother, how can you talk like that? Fifth brother's sister almost fell ill, which is not a good thing. How can fifth brother take this opportunity to be lazy?"

The sixth prince muttered softly.

He vaguely felt that what the fourth prince said was wrong.

If something happened to his mother, he would be so worried that he would miss a bite of food at lunch, and there would be no way to steal a free day.

However, he was scratching his head as he sat behind the desk.

Looking at the Analects of Confucius in front of me, I couldn't help but wonder where to go for dinner today.

It's the fifteenth today, so I'd better go to Qi's mother's place to use it. Her mother will definitely want to recite sutras and become a vegetarian again.

He doesn’t like to be vegetarian!

He wants to eat meat, and it would be nice to have fried beef meatballs today.

"cough."

Cheng Qian felt helpless when he saw the sixth prince holding a book and wandering away from home.

In this room of princes, the youngest is Lao Qi, who is just five years old.

Then there is Lao Liu, but there is only three months difference between Lao Liu and him.

But even though they are about the same age, they rarely play together.

Because Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu who raised them were very difficult to deal with.

Although his mother-in-law Liu promised to live with his sixth brother's mother Minbin, according to his observation, Liu promised not to have close contact with Minbin.

Therefore, except for meeting each other in the study room, they rarely had any personal contact before.

And they had nothing to talk about.

The sixth brother likes to eat and lie down.

I don't like it myself.

Cheng Qian sighed with emotion, but when he thought that his sixth brother had just stood up to speak for him and almost offended his fourth brother, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Sixth brother."

Cheng Qian's eyebrows jumped when he saw the Analects of Confucius, which was placed at the bottom of the table by his sixth brother.

"I went to see my sister this morning, and my mother told me that my grandfather used to like to test the school's children at the end of the year."

The sixth prince was stunned.

They were similar in age and sat closest to each other. When he spoke normally, his voice was drowned out by the voices of other princes in the study room.

No one else heard it.

Cheng Qian glanced at his sixth brother, "Have you learned the lesson master taught today?"

"If you don't learn it, I'll teach you again."

……

Less than half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the study room.

Lu Zhen, the chief master of the upper study room and the chief bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, walked in with two other bachelors.

"Princes, it's raining heavily today. I will take this opportunity to test the princes' recent homework."

The faces of the third and fourth princes, who had been playing around, suddenly froze.

The sixth prince opened his mouth wide.

He held back and didn't look back to see Fifth Brother!

"The Master said: 'Those who are virtuous must have words, and those who have words do not have to be virtuous. Those who are benevolent must be brave, and those who are brave do not need to be benevolent.' How do you explain this sentence?"

The Sixth Prince opened his mouth even wider.

Isn't this one of the three chapters that Fifth Brother helped him review just now!

——The fourteenth chapter of "Xianwen"!

"For one stick of incense, the princes are asked to write their answers on paper. After that, the veteran will present the article to the emperor for review."
