With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

"Yu'er/Zhizhi has met the Imperial Grandmother."

The two children's greeting postures were very standard.

Although the Empress Dowager and her companions would not normally ask them to perform the salute, they still learned all the proper etiquette.

The two little devils saluted and winked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother raised her handkerchief and pretended to wipe her mouth, so that Concubine Jing would not see the smile on her face.

"Quickly, don't be polite." The Queen Mother held out her hand, "Yu'er Zhizhi, come to the side of the Imperial Grandmother."

The two children stood up and walked obediently to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother pulled the two children into her arms, looked at Concubine Jing and the others beside her, and introduced them, "Yu'er, Zhizhi, this is Concubine Jing's aunt, and your eldest cousin."

"Meet Concubine Jing, Auntie, and cousin."

Concubine Jing suppressed the resentment in her eyes, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "Prince and Princess, there is no need to be so polite."

Not only is she cute and likable, she is also very polite and well-mannered.

If the child wasn't Shang Yue's, Concubine Jing would definitely like him. But looking at their faces that were similar to Shang Yue and Nan Yan, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"The Crown Prince and the Princess are indeed very smart. I heard that they have already entered the Imperial Academy to study. They really have inherited the Emperor's talent."

Concubine Jing praised insincerely.

Le Yu and Zhi Zhi were carried by palace servants to sit on chairs.

After seeing them sit down, the Queen Mother withdrew her gaze.

Although Concubine Jing didn't really mean to praise her, the Queen Mother was happy to hear it, so she replied, "Although they are still young, they like to study, so let them go."

To Concubine Jing, it sounded like the Queen Mother was showing off that her two children loved reading.

She lowered her head slightly, and her drooping eyelashes cast a thick shadow under her eyes, hiding the unshakable disgust in her eyes.

"It's good to love reading! How many children won't read even if they are beaten with sticks!"

Xiao Leyu and Xiao Lezhi are particularly sensitive to other people's likes and dislikes of them.

Just like now, although Concubine Jing was praising them and her beautiful, well-maintained face was full of smiles, they could feel that she disliked them.

The two children pouted and looked away.

Humph! They don't want to like people who don't like them.

Concubine Jing: "The Crown Prince has been studying in the Imperial Academy for half a year, right?"

The Queen Mother nodded, "Half a year."

Concubine Jing looked at her grandson who was standing straight beside her, a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Sister, Wen Ting has been studying for several years. Let's take this opportunity to ask Wen Ting what the prince has learned in the past six months?"

Isn’t it said that the prince is intelligent?

When Wen Ting surpasses him, he will know what intelligence means.

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Jing indifferently, her little thoughts were completely exposed.

A seven-year-old child who has been studying for several years has the nerve to compete with a kid who is less than two years old.

Shang Wenting received Concubine Jing's gaze, stood up and took a step forward, raised his head and looked at Le Yu with pride.

"Prince, may I ask what you learned in the Imperial Academy? I can also ask questions."

Xiao Leyu did not show any fear and ordered the palace servants beside him to carry him down from the chair.

Although small in stature, he has an extraordinary aura.

He said calmly, "I have learned some of the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Then I'll ask you a simple question. Can you recite the first chapter of The Great Learning?"

Xiao Leyu thought he would ask for explanations and lessons learned from it like a professor! I didn't expect it to be so simple.

"Of course." He put his hands behind his back and began to recite with his head shaking, "The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue..."

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was little Leyu's baby voice.

Seeing him shaking his head so adorably, the Queen Mother's heart melted.

During this time, she turned her head to look at Concubine Jing, and seeing the surprise on her face, she couldn't help feeling proud.

You know, many children over one year old can't even speak complete sentences.

"I have finished reciting it."

Shang Wenting frowned and continued to ask, "Chapter 10 of The Doctrine of the Mean."

"Zi Lu asked about strength. Confucius said: 'The south...'"

"The Doctrine of the Mean, Chapter 15."

"The way of a gentleman is to travel far..."

"The meaning of the third chapter of The Great Learning..."

"..."

Shang Wenting asked a question and Xiao Leyu answered it, and they answered questions fluently.

Even if Shang Wenting asked many questions himself, he didn't know the meaning of them, nor did he know whether Xiao Leyu's answers were correct.

But looking at his confident expression, you can tell that what he said is right.

This is not just learning some, this is clearly learning everything.

Shang Wenting's expression became more and more impatient, while Xiao Leyu remained calm and composed, standing his ground.

Concubine Jing and Jing Zhizhi's expressions became more and more ugly.

In the end, Shang Wenting couldn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Leyu smiled at Shang Wenting, revealing his neatly arranged little teeth, "Brother, since you have finished asking questions, I will ask you a question as well."

"There is a sentence in the Book of Shang, 'Those who do good may be different, but they all end up in order; those who do evil may be different, but they all end up in chaos.' Can you tell me what it means, cousin?"

Shang Wenting's mind is in a mess now. He has clearly learned it, but he just can't remember it.

How could he be outdone by a one-year-old child!

The more anxious he was, the harder it was for him to think. His palms began to sweat, and the wet touch made his mind even more confused.

The hall was extremely quiet for a moment, and everyone was looking at Shang Wenting.

Concubine Jing and Jing Zhizhi's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

After a moment, Concubine Jing suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, Wen Ting, please sit down and have a glass of water. Your throat is so dry that you can't even speak."

The awkward situation in the hall was broken.

Shang Wenting was instantly deflated, and continued Concubine Jing's words, "My grandson's throat is indeed a little uncomfortable."

His legs were shaking as he walked over, and he felt better only after he sat down on the chair.

He took the tea from the maid and took several sips, indicating that he was really thirsty.

"The prince is even smarter than the legend says. It is a blessing for the Shang Dynasty to have such an outstanding heir as the prince."

"After talking so much just now, I'm sure the prince must be thirsty. Let's stop here today! If you continue, the prince's throat will be uncomfortable."

She found a way for them to get off.

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Jing was very angry but had to pretend nothing had happened. She pursed her lips, turned her face away, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.

After a moment, she coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's stop here."

Concubine Jing clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, her nails pressing against the soft flesh of her palms until she felt a hint of pain, and then she relaxed.

Why!

The old woman had a son with a photographic memory, and now she has a grandson with a photographic memory.

Why do all good things have to happen to this old woman.

Concubine Jing was so angry that she was about to burst into flames, but she still had to pretend that nothing had happened. She took several deep breaths to suppress the anger boiling in her heart.
