Chapter 46: Your Majesty, You Are Too Old
After Zhu Yunxi memorized the entire Thousand-Character Prose, the huge main hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, a sudden round of applause sounded, followed by thunderous applause and noisy table slapping.
All the princes celebrated the birth of the new top student in the main hall as if they were on a roll.
Qi Tai was also surprisingly tolerant. Instead of stopping the princes from making trouble, he also clapped his hands with a smile.
As for Erhu, who was squatting at the door, flipping through books and comparing notes, when he heard the cheers of the princes, he also picked up a board and banged it on the ground to express his ecstasy.
Zhu Yunxi felt the warm cheers around him, and felt a little guilty while being happy.
He is different from Mr. Qi Taiqi. He is a true academic master, but he is just a fake and shoddy product.
What if the ability to endorse in dreams cannot be reproduced, causing Mr. Qi to mistakenly think that he is a real academic master. If he gets a thicker book for himself tomorrow, wouldn’t he have to cry to death?
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi felt that he should cool down everyone's temper so that everyone would not expect too much from him.
"Everyone is ridiculous. I'm not as smart as you think. It took me a year to memorize this behind my back..."
Zhu Yunxi's modest words immediately attracted boos.
"Zhu Yunxi, you don't have to be modest. You just learned the Thousand-Character Classic last month. How did you get a year?"
Qi Tai mercilessly exposed Zhu Yunxi's little lies, once again arousing laughter in the main hall.
After the princes laughed about it, Mr. Qi's impression also changed greatly.
Mr. Qi is not that serious, he can still joke...
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi couldn't explain clearly, he just let them go.
Anyway, I was spared a beating today, so it was considered a profit.
After the episode of Zhu Yunxi memorizing the Thousand-Character Prose was over, the inspection in the main hall continued.
However, Zhu Yunxi's delay was too long, which seriously delayed the normal study time.
Therefore, Qitai decided to make a big move and let everyone endorse it.
When the princes heard this, they were shocked and overjoyed.
They have learned everything. If they memorize it together, wouldn't it be as noisy as a wet market, giving them a chance to make up for it?
However, it turns out that they are still too young.
Qi Tai had managed to become a great talent in a place like Yingtian Mansion, where all culture and culture gathered together. How could he capsize in a small sewer like theirs?
Eight or nine princes endorsed it together, and if anyone made any mistakes or omissions, Qi Tai would point them out promptly and accurately.
This is not the end yet. After everyone memorized the book, this guy still remembered who made several mistakes!
Generally speaking, those who make less than three mistakes will not be punished. They will only be ordered to go back and copy it again in the evening, and then take the test tomorrow.
As for those who made more than three mistakes, he would hand them over to Jin Yiwei without mercy.
The prince passed away recently, and His Majesty had no time to care about the princes' studies, which caused them to slack off a lot. We just took this opportunity to improve the learning atmosphere in the main hall.
Not long after, there was a sound of crackling boards and screams of ghosts and wolves howling from the corridor.
Zhu Yunxi's face turned pale with fright when he saw the miserable state of the young uncles.
He originally thought that after becoming the prince and grandson, he would not have to struggle in this life. Who would have thought that the royal education would be so strict, and he would suffer such a severe beating just because he did not do his homework well!
Relatively speaking, the beating Lao Zhu gave him yesterday was merciless no matter how you looked at it.
After a group of princes were beaten, an imperial doctor ran in to give them medicine, and then a young eunuch came in and carried them back to their respective residences.
While this one-stop service was in progress, the main hall officially dismissed classes.
Zhu Yunxi walked towards the Prince's Mansion full of thoughts, while Wang De carefully followed behind carrying a book box.
He was calculating how many taels of silver the Crown Princess had rewarded him with, and whether he would be asked to take it back because of His Highness's sudden behavior...
When Zhu Yunxi returned to his residence, he climbed into bed and went to sleep, trying to see if he could reproduce his superpower.
I don't know if he just got enough sleep in the main hall or for some other reason, but he couldn't fall asleep after struggling for a while.
Zhu Yunxi suspected that the pillow was uncomfortable, so he immediately threw the original porcelain pillow aside, and then placed the hardcover version of "Historical Records" left to him by his father under his head.
After doing all this, Zhu Yunxi still felt that something was missing. It was not until he hugged a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" that he lay down contentedly.
This time he fell asleep, but after waking up from his dream, Zhu Yunxi became even more angry.
Because he neither dreamed about "Historical Records" nor "The Analects of Confucius", but instead dreamed about an unrelated book - Fighting to Break the Sky!
In his dream, he read "Fights Beyond the Sphere" thousands of times. Now, not only can he recite it backwards and forwards, he can at least write down the entire book word for word.
This made him very depressed and felt that he had wasted a dream.
If he dreams about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West" and the like, he can still make money by selling books. But if he dreams about "Fights Breaking the Sphere", isn't it a bit too advanced? There can't be a market in the Ming Dynasty, right?
But what makes him even more uncomfortable is that this golden finger is completely irregular, far from the level of thinking and dreaming.
From this point of view, it is still a bit difficult for him to pretend to be a top student...
While Zhu Yunxi was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a roaring sound in his abdomen, and then a sense of hunger came like a tide, and he was so hungry that he almost collapsed.
He instinctively felt that this matter was related to dreaming. If dreaming hadn't consumed so much energy, he wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable even though he was easily hungry.
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly got up from the bed, found a piece of paper, and started writing. After writing, he handed it to San Dezi.
"Sandoku, please immediately give the menu to Grandpa Xu in the imperial dining room, tell him that I am also starving, and ask him to prepare it quickly and send it over..."
"ah?"
"Your Highness, can you please pay attention to us?"
"able!"
"This is what Grandpa Huang told me, they don't dare not do it!"
When Wang De heard that it was His Majesty's order, he no longer doubted it and immediately ran towards the imperial kitchen.
Xu Xingzu took the note handed over by Wang De, looked at the list of dishes on it, and couldn't help but curled his lips.
"Your Highness, Second Emperor Sun, you need to practice your writing. It's just ugly. There are so many typos, and some words are only half written..."
What Xu Xingzu complained about was simplified Chinese characters. In the eyes of an orthodox Ming Dynasty person, simplified Chinese characters are just half-written typos.
Fortunately, simplified Chinese characters are evolved from traditional Chinese characters. Even if the ancients didn't understand them, they could still guess the exact meaning based on the correspondence between the context and context.
This is just like Zhu Yunxi reading the traditional Chinese version of Little Yellow Book in his previous life. Even if he didn't recognize many characters, it didn't delay his understanding of the path to immortality.
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose..."
Xu Xingzu looked carefully at the name of the dish and was immediately shocked.
"Good guy, this is a foodie. He can eat more than our emperor!"
"Many of the names of the dishes here are the dishes I have been cooking for my whole life, and this is the first time I have seen them!"
"Our palace doesn't have bear paws or deer tails in stock. And what is this hash ant? We haven't heard of it either?"
"There are sea cucumbers and abalones, but they are quite expensive. The emperor is reluctant to eat them several times throughout the year..."
"If this grandson eats the way he eats, it won't take three months, and the entire year's budget of the imperial dining room will be exhausted!"
"No, I have to talk to the emperor about this matter!"
Xu Xingzu thought of this and immediately ran to Qianqing Palace with Zhu Yunxi's menu to ask for money.
Chapter completed!
