The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 78 Going to School
"Huh? Let me go to the palace... to study?"

Gu Che opened his mouth wide enough to eat a watermelon, stared at his grandfather dumbfounded, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "No, grandfather, I can't go..."

"Snapped!"

Gu Ge was so angry that he slammed the teacup in his hand, and shouted: "You think I want you to go! Ah? It's not a good thing you caused yourself!"

"I?"

Gu Che pointed to his nose, really confused.He admits that he is rather stubborn, but he seldom goes out of the house, let alone has any interaction with outsiders, so how can he get into trouble?
Gu Ge's wrinkled old face looks not much different from a bitter gourd now, they are both so green and wrinkled, and one can feel the bitterness emanating from a distance.

He couldn't help lamenting in his heart, the Gu family has been scholarly at Tsinghua University for generations, and even though the second son was good at martial arts, he was also a loyal minister and good general who died in battle. It can be said that his family has a good reputation... How come in the end, only Gu Che is the only scourge left?
He doesn't like reading, no matter what, Gu Gelao didn't expect him to really pass the imperial examination, as long as he can read and write.After he retires and returns to the farm, he takes the child back to his hometown to be a farmer. He won't be hungry anyway, so it would be nice to let Gu Che be a landlord in the countryside.

It is not a big evil to practice martial arts at home every day, make troubles, and beat bird nests.This kid's nature is not bad, he didn't bully his servants or hang out with ruffians in the street market, if he is active, he should be active, he is in good health, he is better than his uncle who just died of illness.

But he went so far as to provoke Princess Huarong in the prince's mansion, so that the emperor ordered him to enter the palace to serve as a student!What can I do?
"The emperor asked me to talk to me today." Gu Ge took another two sips of tea to calm himself down: "The emperor said that Princess Huarong should go to study in the upper study, and you should enter the palace as the princess' attendant." read!"

"I don't... what? Study with the little princess?"

Just as Gu Che was about to object subconsciously, when he heard the name "Prince Huarong", his expression immediately changed.Huh, things seem to be different from what I thought...

Hearing Mr. Gu Ge say that Princess Huarong was supposed to be taught by a female official in the palace, but because he "envied Ah Che's master's history of teaching scriptures", he insisted on asking the emperor to find bachelors to teach her, Gu Che was completely stupid.

"That's what she said..."

Gu Che said dully.

Gu Ge rubbed his sore brows, sighed a few times, and said, "Forget it, you have such a temper, I really don't trust you to enter the palace. Don't cause more trouble! You just be more honest these days." Just stay, I will go back to the emperor and tell you that you are sick and cannot enter the palace."

"But grandfather, the emperor just said this and I became 'ill', won't he be angry and blame you old man?"

Gu Ge laughed old-fashionedly.

Hey, it wouldn't be right to call the kid stupid.He also understands the ways of the world, but he can't read books!

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, this month, you are not allowed to leave your yard!" The emperor must be unhappy.But what can he do to really send this troublemaker in?
"Grandfather, I..."

"What about me!" Gu Gelao widened his eyes again, and slammed the table: "If you don't want to enter the palace, be honest with me!"

"I want to enter the palace..."

"You... ah? What?"

Gu Ge was stunned again.

Doesn't this kid hate reading the most, and has to get three or four times a morning to skip class?Why did you take the initiative to enter the palace to study?

"Don't get it wrong. You think it's fun to enter the palace! The rules in the palace are strict with you. You are not a child, big or young, and you have a wild temper. How can I rest assured that you will go in!"

"But grandfather," Gu Che plucked up his courage, and said, "The emperor has already opened his mouth. If you lie for me, it is not a crime of deceiving the emperor. If the emperor pursues it, it will be bad for you... I promise I will grow old." To be honest, you must listen to the class and study hard! Absolutely don't make trouble!"

Gu Che's words made Gu Ge hesitate again.

That's right, he didn't know that it was too obvious for Gu Che to pretend to be sick on purpose.To be honest, this is the great grace of the royal family, and it also contains the emperor's intention to appease the prince.If he "doesn't know what's good" and doesn't let Gu Che in, I'm afraid that Emperor Yuan Qi, who is not broad-minded at all, will have a lump in his heart.When the occasion is right, it is quite troublesome to settle accounts with myself...

But Ah Che is a troublemaker!

"You promise to be honest? Do you know how to write the word honest?" At this point, Gu Gelao thought of another thing: "You see, you are 13 years old! If you don't memorize the "San Zi Jing", you won't say anything. It's also written so ugly, alas... I really entered the upper study and let people see your words, I..."

I lost all my old face!Gu Ge honestly doesn't have the courage to say this, he is a majestic scholar of the Wenhua Palace, the second assistant of the cabinet, and a model of scholars in the world!The handwriting written by the grandson is as ugly as a dog crawling, no, uglier than a dog crawling... This makes those lecturers who teach him how to read, how should they think of themselves?

Gu Che chuckled, knowing that it would be embarrassing for him to go to the study to write.

But he still wants to go.

Entering the palace is an honor or something, he understands, but he doesn't care.What he cares about is that he can be a classmate with the princess, and often meet and chat...

It's fun!

It has been more than half a year since the Lantern Festival, but he has not been able to see her again.Later, when I heard that she entered the palace, I felt that it was even more difficult to meet each other.

Gu Ge thought about it for a long time, weighed it over and over again, and finally decided to let Gu Che enter the palace to accompany the princess to study.

That's what he thought, let Gu Che go there a few times first, and then the emperor would naturally hear about Gu Che's "ignorance and incompetence" from the lecturers.At that time, it would make sense for him to keep Gu Che from entering the palace on the grounds of his grandson's natural talent and stupidity.

It's only been a few times... This kid can always hold back, don't show his true colors and cause trouble, right?
While the grandparents of the Gu family were discussing the matter of entering the palace, Yun Ruochen had already started the royal princess course that she could describe as hard work.

The three female officers specially sent to teach her are all as powerful as her foster mother, Zeng Sister.

Their professional smiles couldn't conceal their severe and perverted nature, Yun Ruochen deeply felt the pain of force-feeding education, especially when three people force-fed her a duck!
The original request she made with Emperor Yuan Qi was to specialize in classics and history and learn less about court etiquette, especially the stinky, long and worthless things like "The Commandments of Women", and so much time wasted to memorize and read... But Emperor Yuan Qi only fulfilled half of her wish.

Go to the study room to read classics and history, yes.

Other courses, not less, but also do better!
"Inhuman..."

At night, when Yun Ruochen took off his shoes and socks under the service of the little maid, and soaked his swollen and sore calves in hot water, he felt so comfortable that he wanted to cry.

Whoever has practiced a standard lady standing posture during the day will be reprimanded by several people at the same time for a slight movement, and will be as painful as she is now.

Even the posture of holding a pen and writing had to be practiced hard, and she felt that her wrists were too sore early.If it weren't for the fact that she followed her master to practice flying copper coins in her previous life, she would definitely not be able to last a day.Hanging her wrist to write, how can her weak little hand hold up...

"Is my stationery ready?"

While shaking her sore wrists, she asked about the little maid serving beside her.

During these few days of staying in the palace, she accompanied Concubine Duan to live in Tsinghua Palace.Except for Nanny Zeng, she didn't bring her maids with her, so Concubine Duan Gui selected two second-class maids, two third-class maids and two young eunuchs from Tsinghua Palace to be with her.

These two second-class court ladies are both fourteen or fifteen years old, the older one is Xia Hong, the younger one is Qiu Rong, both are well-trained elves.This time she was going to the upper study, Duan Guifei pointed out Xia Hong as her servant, because Xia Hong had studied in the inner study for a year.

Hearing Yun Ruochen's call, Xia Hong hurriedly held the tray on the desk, and showed her the ready-packed pen, ink and inkstone, and said that today, the empress asked someone to get thirty dollars of snowflake paper from the inner storehouse for special use. For her to go to the study to study.

"Thirty knives?" Yun Ruochen laughed, "It's enough for me for a year!"

Xia Hong said: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the Princess's going to school tomorrow, and let the servants prepare carefully so that nothing is missed."

"Okay." Yun Ruochen yawned, and decided to bid Concubine Duan Gui a good night before going to sleep.She is still looking forward to going to the study room for the first time tomorrow!

The upper study room has always been the place where the prince studies.Ever since King Cheng and King Jing left the palace as an adult, there has been no class.

After Qing Taizu founded the country, he attached great importance to the cultivation of the princes. He was taught Confucian classics and the ability to govern the country from an early age, so that the princes could become qualified candidates for the throne.In the study room, the famous Confucian princes from all over the world were invited to study, and talented young people from the clan and ministers' families were selected to accompany them.

Taizu also stipulated that the executors of the prince's education are the scholars of Wenhua Palace and Zhan Shifu. The lecturers of Zhan Shifu went to the palace in turn to give lectures for the prince. "Tongjian", "University Yanyi", "Zhenguan Political Leaders" and other books that make Gu Che faint with a headache... But these are what Yun Ruochen is eager to learn.

Yun Ruochen is not a prince, but a princess, so her teaching content should be different.Moreover, it was not the Wenhuadian University Scholars and Zhan Shifu who were in charge of teaching, but the emperor casually pointed out two younger Jinshi from the Imperial Academy to teach her to read.

Lying on the bed, she thought in a daze, well, those two gentlemen probably have a headache for coming to teach her... In the past, there were certain rules for teaching princes to read, but it was easier to handle.Princess reading scriptures and history?Alas, how to teach!

"I don't know what expression he will have when he sees Ah Che tomorrow?"

Before falling asleep, the last image in Yun Ruochen's mind was Gu Che's innocent and hearty smiling face.He might not be able to laugh tomorrow, hehehe...

Maybe it would be interesting to be a classmate with him?

　I can finally post it during the daytime today... Can I ask for a recommendation ticket?
