"Big, big brother! Don't fight! My younger brother has been working hard these days, and has already reformed himself!" The Third Prince's mind was filled with the books he had memorized at the last minute, and at the moment, he was almost forgotten by the Grand Prince.
Hearing this, the eldest prince temporarily stopped the rhythmic striking movement, one hand behind his back, narrowed his eyes staring at the straw bag third brother, and opened his mouth to ask: "Then I will test you: under the rule of Duke Xiaodong of Qin, both inside and outside of the countryside do not agree with Shang Yang's change of law, and after that, Shang Yang admonished the king, how to deal with the dissenting views of his people?"
The Third Prince, who had been punched in the head, blankly glanced at the Grand Prince, with an expression that was clearly an accusation that the Grand Prince's question had gone beyond the scope of the syllabus.
But the third prince did not dare to complain, and agitatedly babbled to drag the time: "Shang Yang? Ah ...... he ah, is a capable person, this is not ...... everyone disagrees well, he told the emperor ......"
The Grand Emperor scrutinized him, "Well, say what."
"He said ......," the Third Prince begged, peeking with his eyes at his companion, counting on him to remind him with his mouthpiece.
However, this question was indeed beyond the syllabus, the Third Prince had not learned it yet, and the companion naturally didn't know it either, so with the same blank expression, he looked deep into the eyes of the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was confused.
The eldest prince impatiently raised his hand and began to rhythmically slap the back of his third brother's head again: ''Say what! Say what! Say something!"
"He said he said! I remember!" The third prince was about to cry out, tearfully holding his head and raising his eyes to his crazy big brother, trembling and stalling for time, "He ...... he, first asked the emperor for peace ......"
The Grand Prince raised his hand and started the kinetic beat again, "Warring States! Period! There is no! Emperor!"
Xue Yao was on the verge of collapsing from holding in his laughter, and actually felt a little bit of heartache for the straw man that was the Third Prince!
"I mean! I mean, he gave the king a favor first, and then Shang Yang ......" The third prince, this time, shot a look of help, to the companion of the eldest prince.
This time he counted on the right person, following the talented master, the companion naturally would not be overwhelmed by such questions.
The Grand Prince's companion immediately responded to the Third Prince's plea for help, reminding him with a mouthful of words, "Seducing the people with profit is not to be confused with the beginning of the consideration."
The third prince did not understand, see the companion read a few times to repeat, only to read the mouth of the word "lure", and then looked up with great joy to tell his elder brother: "And then Shang Yang paid a sum of silver, lure the king to cooperate with him to implement the change of law!"
"......" The Grand Prince was momentarily disoriented by his stupidity.
Xue Yao held his laughter so much that he was about to explode, in fact, he didn't know what Shang Yang said, but he felt that it was impossible for Shang Yang to buy the king of the country with silver.
The Third Prince is afraid that he won't last long enough to see his father today.
The Grand Prince's face was so cold that even his anger was gone, a calmness before murdering his own brother, and he spoke coolly, "Is this how you put in your hard work?"
The third prince also felt that his answer was not very logical, simply a clench of teeth, aggrieved sophistry: "Big brother this question, is out of the four books which one?!"
The Grand Prince was calm: "You'll be thirteen next month, do you still intend to learn the Four Books to grow old?"
When the Third Prince heard it, it was true that the topic was over the top!
He immediately stormed out in aggravation, "Father also only asked me to read through the four books first! Big brother asks questions so indiscriminately, who can answer them?"
"Hmph." The Grand Prince stared confidently at the Third Prince and shouted aloud to his most winning brother, "Old Seven, Wei Yang said to Duke Xiao of Qin that--"
And the Seventh Prince was concentrating on shaking the little windmill in his own hand, ignoring his big brother.
There was an awkward silence.
The eldest prince couldn't get over his face, turned his head and seduced the seventh prince in a low voice: "Do you want brother to take you to catch tadpoles?"
The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up as he excitedly looked up at his big brother!
The Grand Prince seized the opportunity to repeat: "Wei Yang said to Duke Xiao of Qin that--"
The seventh prince, in order to go catch tadpoles, immediately lit up his repeater skills and responded without hesitation, "The people may not start with their thoughts, but they may start with their joy."
"Good boy." The eldest prince turned back to his third brother in triumph and disgust.
The Third Prince's face darkened, "This doesn't count! Old Seven he ...... he's not normal!"
With a lift of his hand, the Grand Prince continued to begin his kinetic education, "You shell out the silver! Bribe the king! And it's normal?"
Xue Yao was holding back his laughter as he waited for the chamberlain to enter the hall and ask for instructions.
The Third Prince topped his beaten scalp with a look of despair.
He did spend a lot of effort memorizing his homework this time, but after being beaten up by this kinetic beating, he has already forgotten almost everything, and all he can think about is "seducing the king", and I don't know if his father will accept the silver.
A moment before the Fifth Prince and Xue Yao entered the hall, they were still bitterly begging the Seventh Prince not to pick up the conversation.
The Seventh Prince only returned, "My son will eat two green bean cakes before bed."
Fifth Prince: "......"
Not even Xue Yao was able to decipher the logic of the little fat cub's language.
Actually, the Seventh Prince's meaning was very simple: Her Highness Princess Shio had said that if she didn't answer Father's questions, she wouldn't have a bedtime snack to eat, and since His Highness needed mung bean cake before bedtime, he had to answer the questions, so he couldn't accede to Fifth Brother's and Silly Yao Yao's requests.
His Highness is super craving it!
Xue Yao and the Fifth Prince were not aware of Consort Shi's threatening warning to their son, but it felt as if the little fat cub did not want to cooperate, so both of them panicked in their hearts, fearing that the Third Prince would be swept off his feet and double his vengeance in the future.
The six imperial sons stood in rows, the emperor sat at the top, scanned the circle, and tsked disgruntledly, "What is Yuanzhao busy with again?"
Eunuch Cheng Dong stepped forward and bowed as he replied, "The second prince entrusted the slave girl to forward this letter to His Majesty for royal perusal."
The emperor waved his hand straight with a face of impatience, "I don't want to play dumb riddles with him, it's really against the grain, and he didn't come last time!"
"Your Majesty calm your anger, the second prince he is drunk on Taoism, praying for the blessing of His Majesty ......"
"Strike that! Doesn't he not like to go out? Pass the word that I'm going to punish him with a month's grounding!"
Xue Yao heard these words and then remembered that there are a total of seven princes, and at the moment there is still one less in the hall.
The Second Prince actually didn't come!
There are very few references to the Second Prince in the original, because he's really non - very - geeky, a Taoist fanatic, but doesn't refine pills and is a Taoist in thought.
The second prince would write a word, or a symbol, on the talisman paper when he had something to do, and ask someone to pass it on to the emperor or his brothers.
It's very mysterious and people don't know what he's trying to say.
Vaguely remember, the second prince was standing in the faction of the big prince, after the fall of the big prince, he left home to travel to the clouds.
The emperor has no idea about this Taoist son, and not without beating, but all to no avail, can not pull out and cut, but also can only let it be.
Exam homework begins in order.
The eldest and youngest were in order, and the eldest prince, who appeared first, answered the question fluently and delivered a perfect score.
Because of the second prince's absence, the third prince would have to go up immediately afterward to be a chaperone for his big brother.
The Third Prince was not the only one who was nervous, there was also the Fifth Prince and Xue Yao, both of whom were afraid that the Seventh Prince would suddenly snatch the answer.
The Sixth Prince was still young and didn't quite understand the risks of snatching.
The Grand Emperor couldn't wait for Lao Qi to snatch the answer and properly humiliate the third brother of the straw man, so that he would be motivated.
The room was full of people with different looks.
The Fifth Prince's little head was so tense that it was covered in fine sweat.
Xue Yao stood behind the imperial prince like the other companions.
He stared at the back of his own Dragon Pride pup's head, silently praying that the pup would not open his mouth.
However, when the Emperor asked his first question to the Third Prince, Xue Yao saw the tip of the Seventh Prince's little ears twitch.
Done.
It's a sign that the little chubby cub is happy to interact.
This little guy was listening very carefully to the questions and was ready to grab the answers!
"Gulp--"
Xue Yao swallowed nervously.
Just before the Emperor finished his question.
Xue Yao steeply raised his hand and silently ...... covered the seventh prince s ears!
The Seventh Prince listened to the main text with full attention, and when his father issued a final question, he heard, "Then, a gentleman eats without seeking to be full, and dwells buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing ......"
The Seventh Prince, who had his ears covered, tilted his little head in confusion, "???"
When the emperor finished his question, Xue Yao hurriedly retracted his hand.
It cycled through a couple times after that.
The emperor asked a question - Xue Yao covered the fat cub's ears at the critical moment - and then let go after the question.
A few moments later.
The Third Prince had questions he couldn't answer.
And the Seventh Prince didn't know what his father was asking!
In the end, the Emperor copied a zhengbiao and slammed it on the Third Prince: "Unlearned and untalented!"
The Fifth Prince's eyes lit up, and the trumpet of victory rang in his ears!
Xue Yao took credit!
The Seventh Prince did not hear his father's question because of his "sudden deafness"!
The end of the examination, several princes exit the Yangxin Hall, all the way to the fork in the road with the same line.
The Grand Prince also criticized and educated each of his several younger brothers, and let one go after training one.
Several other princes left one after another.
At the entrance of the silent palace alley within the Grand Palace, only the Grand Prince was left with a stern face, sternly bowing his head, staring at the short and stumpy Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince didn't notice his brother's fierce gaze, and surprisingly, he continued to shake the little windmill as if it was a provocation.
Xue Yao buried his head low.
Crap, the little chubby kid is going to be kinesthetically punched!
With a cold face, the Grand Prince plucked the hem of his coat, knelt on one knee in front of the little chubby cub, and asked in a low voice, "Is it good?"
The Seventh Prince stared at the small windmill and nodded his head without knowing what to do.
Xue Yao's heart is cold, finished finished ......
In a fit of rage, the Great Prince violently snatched the little windmill on the spot! With one side of his face, he came in front of the little chubby cub and threatened in a low voice, "One kiss and I'll give it back to you."
Xue Yao: "？？？？？？"
The Seventh Prince hugged the Grand Prince's face and pecked him.
The Grand Prince's handsome iceberg face instantly melted into a spring-like happy smile, and he turned back to Old Seven's bun face and rubbed it!
Satisfied, the Grand Prince returned the little windmill and got up to go.
Turning around the palace wall and out of sight, Xue Yao vaguely also heard the Grand Prince humming a few cheerful ditties.
is really especially satisfying!
Xue Yao felt very uneasy, as if he had detected an unknown side of the Grand Prince.
How is this guy not quite the same as the unsmiling, bitter and hateful Grand Prince in the original!

Princess Shi Shi hadn't noticed Noble Lady Yi before.
The door to flatter her concubines are also many, since the assassination of Tong Fei, she no longer believe these concubines rhetoric.
Therefore, although she personally met with Noble Lady Yi, her attitude was always polite and detached, not close and not offensive.
Seeing that there was no progress, Noble Lady Yi first presented her hand-embroidered scented pouch as planned.
Consort Shih had suffered from the loss of the scented capsule only last time, as soon as she saw the object in her hand, she couldn't help but show a huffy look, but quickly took it with a smile.
Discovering that there was no spice inside, Consort Shio then slightly removed her defenses and complimented Noble Lady Yi's exquisite embroidery, and asked the palace maid to fetch a hairpin and present it back to Noble Lady Yi.
Yi Guiren see her this two do not owe the attitude, know that only rely on the scented bag is certainly not flattered, had to make a killer, requesting to screen out the palace maid, Chunfang is the Tong Fei ghost of the secret, told the Shi Fei.
