Chapter 14

I said mother, if you don't endorse the eye drops, your eyes will be blinded in vain.

Li Lingyue complained, seeing that she couldn't escape, she simply squeezed out an innocent smiling face, walked into the hall on small steps, and greeted Wu Zetian politely under the watchful eyes of her brothers:

"Daughter pays respects to A Niang, pays respects to Master Song!"

After the greeting here, and the corporal punishment on the prince's side, Li Hongzhang blushed and knelt down to Empress Wu:

"My son thanked the empress for her teaching!"

You have to be grateful after the fight, this is the rule!

Although Li Hong and Li Lingyue are the same parents, but he is a prince, he must observe etiquette everywhere, and cannot be called casually like Li Lingyue.

Wu Zetian waved his hand, the prince got up and stepped aside respectfully.

"Mother! Next..." Song Shijie just got up to say something, but Wu Zetian interrupted him with a wave.

"Master Song, don't worry, I'll help you discipline my naughty daughter first!"

Is there any mistake, I will be attacked as soon as I come here, I will provoke you!
Li Lingyue despised the old lady in her heart, but she looked innocent on the face, and only listened to Empress Wu asking in a deep voice:

"Tell me, why are you not in the Hongwen Hall during your studies? If you can't explain why, you will receive twenty rulers!"

If you want to hit me, I'm not as good as you want.

Li Lingyue knelt on the ground feigning fear, and replied submissively:

"Back to Aniang, daughter... My daughter thinks today's class is boring, so she went to swim in Taiye Pool!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, he jumped up and became angry:

"You bastard, you don't study hard, and you dare to go out to play privately, do you really think I dare not hit you? Come on!"

After all, Li Lingyue hastened to order the family law to serve her:

"Aniang, I haven't finished talking yet!" Raising Su's hand, pointing at teacher Song Shijie, he said:

"Master Song allowed me to go out, if you don't believe me, ask him?"

"You still dare to quibble! Come on, call me!"

How could Wu Zetian believe that the teacher allowed the students to go out to play, and insisted on spanking without waiting for Li Lingyue to say anything.

Seeing Li Lingyue moved out of him, Song Shijie had a mouthful of old phlegm choked in his throat, so he coughed awkwardly, bowed and said to Empress Wu:
"Your Majesty, what the princess said is true, it is indeed the old minister who allowed her to go out and play!"

When the party said this, Wu Zetian was left in the air, and she asked in some surprise:

"Master Song, what is the meaning of this? But my daughter is persecuting you? Don't be afraid of her, I'm here today, you can just say it, and I'll clean up the house for you!"

Song Shijie hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, my mother misunderstood. The princess has a pure nature, respects teachers, and is very respectful to the old minister. It is a great blessing in life that the old minister can teach the princess!"

As the old man spoke, he stroked his beard lightly and looked at Li Lingyue with a look of admiration.

Looking at the situation, what Song Shijie said was not against his will. This time, Wu Zetian was even more puzzled!
"Since that's the case, why did Master Song allow her to play truant from school?"

Song Shijie's old face was a little red. After thinking for a while, he got up and bowed to Wu Zetian:

"I'm ashamed to say that it's not that the princess played truant, but that the princess is too intelligent. She has already learned nine out of ten books and classics, and the classics and classics are also familiar with the past. The old minister... the old minister really has nothing to teach. The princess is very knowledgeable and talented. Amazing, still above the old minister!!"

After the old man finished speaking, everyone was shocked, and the brothers looked at the sister in disbelief.

Studying under the same roof, they know that their younger sister is smart, and that the younger sister is always able to answer Master Song's exams in class, but who would have thought that in just a few years, the younger sister has already reached a level that they can only look up to? Height, if it wasn't for Master Song not being able to tell it himself, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Of course, Wu Zetian was the one who was most shocked. She knew that contemporary Confucian scholars like Song Shijie were all self-proclaimed, and would never be inferior to others in terms of learning.

But now, he actually admits in public that his talents and knowledge are not as good as that of a little girl, which is simply unimaginable.

Wu Zetian couldn't figure it out, so why not Song Shijie!

Back when Li Lingyue was less than three years old, Empress Wu sent her to the Hongwen Museum, saying that she was a little girl who wanted to study with her brothers.

At that time, the old man was still very disdainful, thinking that a girl doll who just could talk would not know how to read, so he decided to teach her a few simple nursery rhymes from the Book of Songs and give her a little enlightenment.

But then, he miraculously discovered that every time he taught a poem, the little girl would quickly read and comprehend it. In less than half a year, she was able to understand all of the thick book of poems. The little princess has a talent far beyond ordinary people.

While lamenting the power of the royal gene, the old man gradually increased the difficulty of the course. He wanted to see how much potential the little princess had, and in the end he taught and taught, but his little knowledge was not enough.

I can only lament from the bottom of my heart: O most holy teacher, the students have shamed you!
Facing this embarrassing situation now, Song Shijie, who is a great Confucian, can only save his last face with a thick skin.

Of course, he would not admit that the little princess was knowledgeable because of her hard work, then his old face would have no place to rest, so he attributed all the reasons to:
This girl is extraordinary, born to be a child prodigy born for reading!
Aside from knowledge, Song Shijie's feelings for Li Lingyue are complicated. He is pleased that he has taught a super academic master who is better than him in his lifetime;

But Li Lingyue, who was the person involved, didn't think so much!
The reason why she likes to spend time in the school is not because she likes to read, it is purely to avoid the skill training of "weaving hairpin flowers" and other ladies' skills.

She is a modern mature woman, and she has no interest in those ancient court etiquette, women's morality and women's workmanship.

It's a pity that with the big boss Empress Wu, she had no choice at all, so she used reading as an excuse to refuse the story of becoming a lady.

In the classroom, she used adult thinking to accept re-education, and naturally she was familiar with the road and made rapid progress.

Another one is that she is out of the mind of a child, and doesn't care about childlike things like catching crabs, jumping rubber bands, and folding airplanes, so she can calm down and study hard.

Wu Zetian didn't know what was wrong in Li Lingyue's heart. Seeing Master Song's praise of her daughter, she was a little bit disbelieving, so she picked up a copy of "Book of Rites" and began to test Li Lingyue in public:

"Since Master Song said that you are knowledgeable and talented, then I will test you and explain to me the sentence in the book, the so-called self-cultivation lies in correcting one's mind. It is upright, if you have pleasure, you will not be upright, if you have worries, you will not be upright! If your mind is absent, you will not see it, you will hear it without hearing it, and you will not know its taste when you eat it. This is called self-cultivation.

Li Lingyue thought for a while, then put her hands behind her back, pretending to be very knowledgeable, and said loudly:
"Aniang, the meaning of this sentence is: If you want to cultivate good moral character, you must first correct your mind. If you are angry, you will not be corrected; if you are afraid, you will not be corrected; if you have preferences, you will not be corrected. If you have anxiety in your heart, you will not get it right. Once your mind is absent-minded, you will look but see nothing; listen to it but hear nothing; eat but cannot distinguish the taste. Therefore, self-cultivation The key to moral character is to correct one's mind."

After Li Lingyue finished speaking eloquently, Empress Wu looked at her incredulously, as if saying:

"This...is this my naughty daughter?"
