While all the princes and grandsons were having lunch in the small dining hall, Qi Tai strolled leisurely to the Wenhua Hall.

To use a later saying, Qitai's human relations were with the Wenhua Palace, and everyone had to come here to eat, both emotionally and rationally.

The so-called Wenhua Hall is the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince works, studies and holds banquets.

There are some officials of the Prince's Palace here, such as the famous Huang Zicheng in later generations, Fang Xiaoru and others are also here.

The three of them had a good relationship and gathered at a small table to eat and chat. One of them, Huang Zicheng, mysteriously leaned into their ears and said.

"Have you two heard that today His Majesty held Zhu Yunxi, the second grandson of the Emperor, and swaggered past in front of all the officials?"

"oh?"

"oh!"

Qi Tai acted very surprised, but Fang Xiaoru only responded lightly when he heard this, without any expression on his face.

This made Huang Zicheng very hurt, so he decided to ignore Fang Xiaoru, a rotten scholar, and concentrate on gossiping with Qi Tai.

"Brother Qi, do you think His Majesty intends to make the Emperor's second grandson his heir?"

"If this is the case, it is against etiquette and law. How could you leave the emperor's eldest grandson alone and instead establish a younger emperor's second grandson?"

"Furthermore, the emperor's dull temperament cannot bear such an important responsibility!"

"By the way, brother Qi, you are responsible for instructing the princes and grandsons. Have the emperor's grandsons completed the 'three hundred thousand' study now?"

Qi Tai shook his head when he heard this.

"without!"

"I just taught him the Thousand-Character Essay today!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng immediately slammed the table angrily and said indignantly.

"Xiao Fang, did you hear this?"

"You are a teenager, and you have just started to learn Thousand-Character Classics. Even if you become an heir with this qualification, you will be a coward like a meat-eater in the future!"

When Fang Xiaoru heard this, she just stopped clapping her chopsticks for a while, and then continued to work hard.

Huang Zicheng couldn't help but muttered when he saw Fang Xiaoru acting like this.

"Look, I'm so scared of you. There are only a few people in the Prince's Mansion. Who else can come and tell the truth?"

"Okay, let's do our thing and don't talk to this nerd!"

When Fang Xiaoru heard Huang Zicheng scolding herself as a nerd, she immediately became unhappy.

"You are the nerd, your whole family is nerds!"

"The main reason why I don't get involved in this matter is because I think it goes against the rules of a gentleman!"

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to etiquette, so how can you abolish the elders and establish the younger ones? Your nagging is purely unfounded!"

Huang Zicheng, instead of being annoyed when he heard this, stared at Fang Xiaoru with interest.

"Brother Qi, did you hear that Saint Fang just said three sentences, a total of sixty-four words!"

"If he wasn't so angry, he wouldn't have said so much even if I killed him!"

After Huang Zicheng finished trying to win over Fang Xiaoru, he looked at him jokingly.

"Brother Fang, don't you think highly of Zhu Yunxi?"

Fang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at Huang Zicheng, and then continued to work hard.

Although he didn't say anything, they were all stirring up the same pot, so why do they need to explain everything clearly?

Huang Zicheng had already heard from Fang Xiaoru's words that the old man didn't say anything because he didn't want to cause trouble. But in his heart, he also recognized Zhu Yunwen more.

Just when Huang Zicheng thought that the three of them had reached an agreement and unanimously supported the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunzhen, he suddenly heard Qi Tai speak.

"I have a somewhat different view on the matter between the two emperors and their grandsons!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng immediately looked at Qi Tai in shock, his face full of disbelief.

In his opinion, Qi Tai is the person least likely to rebel. Where does the different opinion come from?

"Brother Qi, what do you mean?"

"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to question you. I just think His Highness is pretty good."

"good?"

Huang Zicheng touched Qitai's forehead exaggeratedly.

"Little brother, have you made a mistake? Which of your eyes can tell that that kid is good?"

Qitai couldn't help but smile.

"I got in touch with Zhu Yunxi this morning, and I found that this kid seems to have changed. Not only has he become bolder, but his brain has become much smarter."

"I only read the first hundred or so words of the Thousand-Character Essay once, and he remembered them all."

"It's just that when I was dismantling it, I wanted to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly he taught me a lesson instead, hahaha!"

Qi Tai seemed very free and easy when talking about his embarrassing things, and he felt that he was not ashamed but proud.

"Can he give you lessons?"

"How did you get there?"

Fang Xiaoru, who had been immersed in cooking, heard this and couldn't help but pricked up his ears to listen.

Seeing the two people acting like this, Qi Tai had no choice but to tell everything he had learned from Zhu Yunxu in the morning. He also told how he intimidated the prince and stood up for his younger brother Zhu Yunxu.

After hearing this, the two of them were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

Among them, Fang Xiaoru didn't like to talk at all, while Huang Zicheng just didn't know what to say.

If the person who said this was not Qi Tai, I would beat him to death without even believing a word of it.

How is this possible? Zhu Yunxi actually has the courage to beat up the prince, and dares to threaten and intimidate his uncle and grandfather?

And the same goes for Zhu Yunwen. How could he just watch his younger brother being bullied and ignore him, and let his grandson steal the spotlight?

Another point is also very strange. Where did Zhu Yunxi learn that knowledge?

Whether it's an artificial rainbow or catching the sun with ice, that's not ordinary knowledge!

Hey, no, where did he get the ice?

"Brother Qi, it's such a hot day, where did Zhu Yunxi get the ice?"

"The ice was brought by Zhu Yunxi and has nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi."

"Then where did Zhu Yunzhen get it?"

Qitai pursed his lips in the direction of the Prince's Mansion.

"No need to think about it, of course the son stole the father's ice."

Huang Zicheng was stunned when he heard this and muttered to himself.

"Isn't the son stealing the father's soldiers an allusion to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his crown prince Liu Zhi? What does it have to do with Zhu Yunxuan..."

"oh!"

"I understand, you mean that the grandson went to the mourning hall..."

Qi Tai hurriedly hissed after hearing this.

"Shh!"

"This matter can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words!"

Huang Zicheng wanted to understand this and burst into laughter.

"You, you... you are the one who can actually use allusions like this, hahaha..."

Fang Xiaoru, who had been eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, couldn't hold back when he heard these words.

"This traitor..."

"The son steals the father's ice...ha..."

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and then immersed themselves in eating. But just when they were having a good time, a little eunuch suddenly handed over a note.

"Mr. Qi, this is His Majesty's handwriting. Please read it alone at your convenience!"

When Qi Tai heard the "manuscript", he was already ready to salute, but when he heard that he was asked to watch it alone, he immediately knew that this was a secret decree and the emperor did not want more people to know.

Therefore, he took the note respectfully, deliberately avoiding Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng and glanced at the note. After reading it, he returned the note as it was, then bowed and saluted.

"Can you please go back and report to Your Majesty on my behalf, my servant? I will tell you that I understand, and I will definitely satisfy Your Majesty!"

The little eunuch said thank you for your hard work, then took the note and went back to resume his life.

After the little eunuch left, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru stared at Qi Tai. As soon as Qi Tai saw their eyes, he knew what they wanted to ask, shook his head vigorously and said.

"Don't you two look at me like that, His Majesty's handwriting really cannot be spoken!"

When the two of them heard this, disappointment flashed across their faces, and they continued to work hard.

When Qi Tai saw the two of them acting like this, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said dumbfounded.

"By the way, where did we just talk?"

The troublemaker Huang Zicheng raised his head and replied weakly.

"The son steals the father's ice?"

When Qi Tai heard this, he said softly, "Yeah."
