The 21st time my wife takes the blame

  Episode 21: [Wife takes the blame] (Excited, last night I waited until my collection was full of three hundred, and then slept beautifully. Immediately, I dreamed of three hundred beauties surrounding me, wanting to hug whichever one I wanted, thinking about whatever... Hehe!)

  It rained heavily.

  Li Chengqian lowered his head, just to avoid the rain.

  He pulled his wife a little further away from him, so that she would be farther away from the artificial rain-making machine, and wouldn't get wet, which not only would give her a cold but also affect her mood, making her feel depressed all day.

  "The Master said: 'A scholar who is set on the Way, and is ashamed of poor clothes and poor food...' Kong Yingda walked back and forth in front of Li Chengqian, lecturing him with a serious face."

  It's really hard to imagine that there would be a teacher who, when scolding students for being late, would use all sorts of classical phrases and quotes from Confucius. This old man is already in his sixties, and every time he opens or closes his mouth, you can see that he has very few teeth left. Li Chengqian thought of the phrase "ten gone, eight or nine" (meaning someone who is very old), and when the old man gets excited while talking, his lips would start trembling uncontrollably, and saliva would drip out of his mouth.

  Li Chengqian's imperial translator stood two meters away, so he could barely hear what Kong Longwang was saying even now. The old man continued to sing his monologue, and more than ten minutes had passed, but his mouth didn't get sour.

  It wasn't long before Kong Longwang said, "Although it's like this, but considering the prince's filial piety in visiting the empress, I'll let it go this time. If there is a next time, I will ask the emperor to relieve me of my duties."

  The last sentence Li Chengqian heard clearly, rely on it, is there such a thing? Threatening students to visit their homes and threatening parents during the home visit that if they don't educate their children well, he won't be a teacher anymore!

  Couldn't help but give Kong Longwang a middle finger in his heart, but on the surface he still nodded and bowed, showing a very respectful teacher's appearance.

  "Come in!" said King Kung Lung, turning around and walking into the Chongwen Hall.

  Li Chengqian saw that his hand, which was pressed against his back, was holding a black object, and he didn't know what it was.

  Su He took out a handkerchief and helped Li Chengqian wipe the water from his hair. Because he had lowered his head, and Kong Longwang was standing on the steps, Kong Longwang's saliva couldn't reach his face.

  "What did King Kung Lung take?" Li Chengqian asked.

  Su Hong blinked her cute eyes and asked: "Grandpa, how can you be called... Dragon King?"

  "Clouds gather and rain falls, what else can you call it besides the Dragon King?" Li Chengqian pointed to the white clouds in the sky and whispered this realization to his wife.

  Su He let out a stifled snort, hastily covering her mouth, unable to laugh, or else Kong Long... Master Kong would hear it and be troubled again. Her face grew redder the more she suppressed it, and after ten seconds or so, she finally digested this wave of laughter, replying: "Master is holding a ruler."

  Ruler?

  Shut up! Your grandma's big chicken leg!

  What is this, a teacher beating students? This Kong Longwang just wanted to hit his own prince, he's the future heir of the country, the second most important person in the nation...

  "Hurry up, or Master will get angry again." Su Hong wiped the saliva from his hair and gave him a push.

  Li Chengqian walked a few steps, turned his head and saw Su Hui not coming in, then went back, "What are you doing, not going in?"

  "This is where the prince studies, I, as a concubine, cannot enter and disturb his study according to etiquette." Su Hong said.

  "My head is not clear..." He pointed to his own head, "Now I don't know anything, how to go in, what to do, and there's a black-faced dragon king, what can I do?"

  "This..."

  "It's okay, let's go in together, I'll take responsibility if there's a problem!" Li Chengqian pulled Su Bao and walked in.

  Entering the Chongwen Hall, passing through the main hall, and entering a study room, Hei Lian Dragon King was already waiting inside.

  This is a study filled with the fragrance of books, with two desks in the inner room. The inner and outer rooms are separated by a wooden carved gate, and the outer room has a copper incense burner, an ancient zither, and a large bookshelf on one wall that is full of books. There are many paintings hanging on the walls, and a calligraphy piece on the bookshelf caught Li Chengqian's attention!

  The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion

  "Cough!" An old man's coughing sound rang out.

  Li Chengqian, who was drooling, was pulled by Su He and came back to his senses.

  The black-faced dragon king stood up from the low stool, walked to the front of the two people, and asked discontentedly: "Your Highness, why did you bring the crown princess into the Chongwen Temple? This is a place for Your Highness to study, how can it be disturbed, it's simply ruining the academic atmosphere, and disgracing the literary world..."

  Li Chengqian's face turned black, he raised his head and stared at the Black-Faced Dragon King, shouting: "Kong Long... Master, this statement is not correct!" Almost calling out Kong Longwang.

  Hei Lian Long Wang was taken aback, and then his face turned red. He didn't expect the prince to dare to offend him, which made him furious. He asked angrily: "What's wrong with that?"

  "Hey, Master Li, don't you know I have foot trouble and can't even walk without someone supporting me? Don't you know I've got a case of lost soul syndrome and can't even recognize the road to get here? You're not grateful that I made it here at all, instead you say my wife is rude - aren't you just talking nonsense?" Li Chengqian said with a menacing glare.

  This is an irascible old man, who just now at the door because of being late scolded himself severely. He led the crown prince's consort into the study and immediately started scolding again. At this time, he was suddenly asked back by Li Chengqian and became stunned, asking: "Has the Crown Prince not recovered from his loss of soul?"

  Nothing.

  "How did you recognize me?"

  "My wife introduced him."

  "Didn't the imperial physician say you were fully recovered?"

  "My body is fine, but my brain isn't."

  "The Four Books and Five Classics, can Your Highness recall them?"

  "I don't understand."

  "Can you read?"

  "Know... but don't know completely."

  After a bout of illness, King Kong's complexion became increasingly poor, and finally he seemed to have lost hope, sitting on a low stool, panting heavily.

  It seems that he heard the imperial physician say that Li Chengqian's body had recovered, so he thought his brain was also fine and he didn't have amnesia, which is why he hurriedly brought him to school.

  Master Su said, "Don't lose hope, young master. Although you have forgotten the Four Books and Five Classics, your intelligence has not diminished. This morning in the palace, you suddenly had an epiphany and recited two excellent lines: 'When flowers bloom, they should be picked at once; don't wait until there are no more flowers to pick.' and 'Writing is naturally born of heaven, a wonderful brushstroke obtained by chance.' Therefore, Master Su believes that although the young master has forgotten his previous studies, thanks to the hard work of Master Fu and the other doctors over the years, he has already stored up his talents in his heart, which is why he can recite such excellent lines at will!"

  When Kong Longwang heard Su He recite the two lines of poetry, he came back to life and kept repeating the two lines of poetry in his mouth. After Su He finished speaking, he jumped up from the bench and stood in front of Su He, asking incredulously: "Are these two lines of poetry really written by Your Highness?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "These two lines of poetry are wonderful, wonderful......" Kong Longwang's face showed a very enjoyable expression, "But how come these are all excellent sentences, why isn't there a previous sentence? Where is the previous sentence?"

  Li Chengqian was just about to acknowledge and let Kong Longwang worship him, when he suddenly heard the question, his face turned pale, and he hastily spoke out: "Ah, Xiao Gu, you don't have to go that far!"

  An old man and a young boy looked at him curiously, Li Chengqian said: "What's so scary about losing one's soul, can't we just learn again? Do I need to think of ways to suffocate myself to death? Do I need Xiao Gu to take out his own masterpiece and say it was written by me? Hehe..."

  Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then Su He suddenly became anxious and said: "Your Highness, it was clearly you who recited it, why did you say it was me..."

  Li Chengqian's hand, which was named as the Tathagata Palm, casually drew a few strokes and smiled: "How can it not be yours? Clearly last night I saw a piece of paper on your dresser that you had scribbled down some inspirational words, and this morning I even asked you about it. Don't lie to Teacher, okay?"

  Su He saw and heard the implication, looked at him with difficulty, and had no choice but to shut up and say no more.

  Kong Longwang still didn't understand, looked at you and then looked at him, asking: "Really wasn't done by the prince?"

  The couple nodded.

  "Is this a work from the Crown Princess's boudoir?"

  The shameless man nodded, and the crown prince's consort turned her head away in embarrassment.

  Kong Longwang's eyes lit up eight degrees, and he bowed to the Crown Princess with a respectful hand: "The Crown Princess is a heroine among women, and I was rude to her just now!"

  Old stuff, you turn your face faster than turning a book!

  Su He hastily said: "Master, no need to be too polite, I..." She couldn't find the right words for a moment. The poem was indeed good, but it wasn't hers. Trying to be humble didn't come easily!

  "The crown princess doesn't have to be overly modest. The three inches of frost didn't form in a single day's cold, and being able to write such wonderful lines is not something that can be done by just anyone, only a great literary master with vast learning and exceptional talent!

  Kong Longwang lowered his posture, like a small student speaking to a teacher, "I humbly request that the crown princess agree to let me spread this excellent line to the students of the Hongwen Academy, to encourage them to study diligently. If the crown princess can complete the two poems, it would be even better."

  Li Chengqian smiled and let his wife deal with the old man, while he himself went to study the Orchid Pavilion Preface.

  Su He and Kong Long Wang hesitated for half a day, and had to learn from Li Chengqian's response in the morning. The clever pen occasionally got it, and there was no previous sentence, which is also normal. Kong Long Wang expressed regret, but his respect for the crown princess did not diminish.

  "Crown Prince, you just said it well, let's start learning from scratch." Kong Longwang turned around and spoke to Li Chengqian, "You have such determination, I'm very pleased. Let's start with the Thousand Character Classic now!"

  Li Chengqian reluctantly left the Orchid Pavilion Preface, sat down behind the desk, took over a book with "Thousand Character Classic" on the cover from Su Hong, opened the first page, and saw four familiar characters: Tian Di Xuan Huang...

  Kong Longwang had his hands behind his back, standing in front of Li Chengqian's desk, and said: "Your Highness, now we are entering the initial stage of recognizing characters. Recite with me: The sky is dark and yellow, the universe is vast and desolate..."

  "The heavens are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and desolate."

  Kong Longwu walked ahead, taking a step and reciting a sentence, then turning back after five steps. Li Chengqian, despite having a university degree, was unfamiliar with many traditional characters, so he took the opportunity to review them carefully, following Kong Longwu's lead in reciting the text with great seriousness, as if he had returned to elementary school. Kong Longwu saw that Li Chengqian was very serious and was quite satisfied.

  Su He sat on the side, and when Kong Longwang's eyes met Su He's, he would look at him with extremely respectful eyes and nod in acknowledgement.

  After a while, Kong Longwang read: "Nature is quiet and peaceful, the heart is moved and the spirit is tired, guarding the true intention is full, following the object's will...". He stopped and said: "Today's study content is here, now Your Highness reviews it once, I have private matters to leave for a while."

  After Kong Longwang left with the farewell of the young couple, Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "I know what the Dragon King is going to do."

  "What?"

  "Three urgencies for people." Low-grade goods of poor taste.

  Speechless.
