As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
The Four Books and Five Classics are compulsory courses in academies, and poetry and poetry will also be covered. Dong Hanlin was pedantic, but he was talented and learned enough to be a master.
The sixth princess immediately said that she could not compose poetry, which not only dampened Emperor Jianwen's interest, but also seemed disrespectful to his master.
Emperor Jianwen frowned slightly.
The third prince smiled at the right time and smoothed things over: "Sixth prince likes martial arts and light literature, but I guess she has no interest in poetry."
The fifth prince also deliberately made a joke: "It's good that the sixth prince doesn't like to write poems, so as not to steal the limelight from our brothers today."
Then, he complained to Emperor Jianwen with an aggrieved look on his face: "Father, the Sixth Emperor's sister made a big splash in the academy competition. Life for me and the Three Emperors and Four Emperors brothers is going to be very difficult. Today it is our turn to stand upright."
My waist is broken."
Emperor Jianwen was so amused that he burst into laughter: "Look at your potential."
The fifth prince grinned: "This little achievement of my son has made my father laugh."
The emperor of the dynasty was very powerful and his thoughts were unpredictable. If you want to please Emperor Jianwen, just flattering him is not enough. You must know Emperor Jianwen's temper, know his likes and dislikes, and avoid tabooing his dislikes.
For example, at this moment, stepping on the face of the Sixth Princess will only make Emperor Jianwen even more unhappy. It is better to show the magnanimity of an elder brother and make Emperor Jianwen look high on her.
The third and fifth princes were vying to please her. The enlightened fourth prince also quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Sixth prince doesn't like to write poems, so just do it. Why don't you do pot throwing instead."
Pot throwing is a simple and interesting game. Stand a few meters away and throw arrows into a pot with a small mouth and a big belly. The quality of the arrows thrown into the pot is judged by the number of arrows thrown into the pot. All archery masters are proficient in the art of pot throwing.
.
It is unclear whether the Fourth Prince took the opportunity to get rid of his shameful thoughts when he proposed this.
The sixth princess glanced at the fourth prince and responded simply: "Okay."
Although the eighth prince is young, he still knows how to say to his half-brother: "Come on, brother four emperors!"
The Ninth Prince was babbling and shouted vaguely, "Come on."
Emperor Jianwen smiled with interest and said: "Your mother is also a master of pot throwing. I will send someone to invite your mother over."
The princes: "..."
…
The Sixth Princess silently lit the wax for Emperor Jianwen.
As the first wife of the palace, Empress Yu, no matter how broad-minded she is, is not happy to see a bunch of bastards hanging around under her nose. Just like the princes, they are not willing to put their warm faces on Empress Yu's cold buttocks.
Even the third prince may not want to see Queen Yu at this time, let alone the other princes?
The relationship between a legitimate mother and a concubine is delicate. In the Tian family, the relationship between each other is even more complicated and subtle. But what Emperor Jianwen wanted to see was "a loving mother and a filial son" and "a harmonious family"... This is embarrassing!
The third prince reacted very quickly and immediately said with a smile: "Father's suggestion is very good. There is no need to instruct others. I just need to go to Jiaofang Palace."
Flatterer!
The fourth prince sneered in his heart with disdain.
I want to go too!
The fifth prince was secretly envious.
The voice of the Sixth Princess suddenly sounded: "Brother Three Emperors often go to Jiaofang Palace on weekdays. Please give me this opportunity to show your courtesy today!"
Third Prince: "..."
The fourth prince and the fifth prince: "..."
Only Emperor Jianwen stroked his short beard and laughed.
It doesn't matter if the girl's family is a little willful or a little arrogant, and she can show off her temper.
In front of Emperor Jianwen, the third prince had to act like a generous brother and responded with a smile: "That's all, I'll give you the good job of running errands and showing off my face."
The corners of the Sixth Princess' lips raised slightly.
This is the benefit of being a "female". It's a matter of course for you to shamelessly ask your brothers to give in to each other. No matter how aggrieved each of them is, they have to endure it.
…
After a stick of incense.
Queen Yu came gracefully.
Empress Yu, who was dressed in a pure red palace dress, had a bright and dazzling smile on her lips. A few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes slightly showed a bit of the regret of the beauty's old age.
"Lian Niang," Emperor Jianwen, who was in a very good mood, called Queen Yu's maiden name affectionately: "The children are making a fuss about throwing the pot, and I think of you."
Whose children?
Queen Yu's eyes quickly passed over the group of heroic young men and young princes, as well as the cold and beautiful Sixth Princess. She suppressed the trace of self-mockery at the corner of her mouth and showed her usual smile: "It's an old story, I didn't expect that the Emperor would still return it."
Remember."
Emperor Jianwen stared at Queen Yu and laughed softly: "How can I forget."
At that time, Empress Yu disguised herself as a man and studied at Songzhu Academy. She was a classmate and good friend of Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen was a master of pot throwing, but Empress Yu was even better than Emperor Jianwen. In the pot throwing competition between the two, Queen Yu won six out of ten times.
Seven times.
At that time, Yu Lianniang was young, beautiful, confident, proud, and full of energy.
At that time, Emperor Jianwen didn't know that the classmate he admired so much was a girl.
Later, when Empress Yu's identity was revealed, Emperor Jianwen was shocked, and then he felt ecstasy of relief. He liked her and wanted to marry her despite his mother's wishes.
Now, after many years as husband and wife, they are still deeply in love.
Emperor Jianwen's eyes were full of tenderness.
Queen Yu looked back with a smile.
All the princes were obviously used to this scene. They each looked away and silently lamented for their biological mother.
There were many concubines in the harem, but no one could replace Queen Yu's position in Emperor Jianwen's heart.
The Sixth Princess was stunned.
Emperor Jianwen seemed affectionate, but in fact he was the most unkind. If he really loved Empress Yu, how could he have so many concubines and concubines?
…
Eunuch Lu personally brought a copper pot and several quivers. The arrow tails in each quiver were dyed with different colors.
Emperor Jianwen was very excited and chose a black arrow. Then he personally chose a red arrow for Empress Yu.
Next, it was the turn of the princes and princesses.
The third prince was about to step forward to choose arrows with a smile on his face, when Emperor Jianwen's voice suddenly sounded: "Anping, you choose first."
Third Prince: "..."
The fourth prince's laughter seemed to ring in his ears.
The third prince glared at the fourth prince angrily. What's so funny! You weren't the first person named by your father!
The fourth prince was a little angry at the third prince's obvious ridicule, but more importantly, he felt a deep sense of unwillingness.
In the past, most of the first people Emperor Jianwen called were his name, or the third prince. Why should it be the turn of the young sixth princess?
The sixth princess glanced at it and picked out the quiver with the arrow tail dyed blue.
The fourth prince pursed his thin lips.
The fifth prince suddenly smiled and said: "In the past, the fourth emperor brother always chose blue when throwing pots. Today, the sixth emperor sister took the lead."
The sixth princess looked over in surprise.
The fourth prince looked calmly: "It doesn't matter. Since the sixth prince chose blue, I will choose another color."
The sixth princess nodded happily: "I think so too."
