Happy Little Scholar

What kind of royal nobles, princesses and princes, when they eat for free, they have no restraint or etiquette at all.

Because there are guests, Ruyi and Xiaohuan, who are the concubines, eat in another room. Li Xuan looks at the hot pot bubbling on the stove and is very curious. He has never tried this way of eating. He doesn't bother to be polite with Li Yi and just picks up a piece of mutton and stuffs it into his mouth.

He exhales like a dog because of the burn, but he can't bear to spit it out. His face is red and it takes a while for him to recover.

Li Mingzhu was like him. She had already picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks. Seeing Li Xuan's look, she let it cool for a while before eating it slowly.

Li Yi felt a little distressed. In the early winter weather, fresh vegetables are extremely difficult to find. Even if there are, the price is relatively expensive. Moreover, because of the storage, the taste and nutrition cannot be compared with fresh vegetables.

Therefore, the weekly hot pot is mainly mushrooms, with tofu, radish, meat, and very little cabbage and vegetables. Unfortunately, Li Xuan and his friends happened to catch up this time.

After swallowing it with great difficulty for the first time, his stomach was burning. Li Xuan learned his lesson the second time. He put the things he fished out in a bowl and waited for them to cool down. Then he looked at Li Yi with satisfaction and said, "This is the first time I try this way of eating. I will ask the chef of the palace to come and learn tomorrow. I am tired of eating those things all day long."

This method of directly fishing things out of the pot is very suitable for the current cold weather. After eating delicacies from mountains and seas for so many years, I will get tired of it. It is also good to change the taste occasionally.

Li Xuan, who has eaten many times in Ruyifang, thinks that the food cooked by Li Yi is more to his taste than the food in the palace. I really don’t know whether the imperial chefs rewarded by the emperor’s uncle to the palace have real ingredients. If Li Yi is allowed to be a chef in the palace, eating every day will be a happy thing.

Li Yi didn't know that the guy across from him was already thinking about poaching. He was busy taking out some of the dishes he liked. If he was a little slower, he would have nothing to eat in a while.

Halfway through the meal, Li Mingzhu caught a glimpse of a wine jar on the cabinet beside the bed. Her eyes lit up slightly and she stood up. Before Li Yi could remind her, she had already opened the stopper of the jar and raised her head to take a sip.

Li Yi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly. That was the alcohol he used to disinfect his wounds. The concentration was more than 70%...

Li Mingzhu put down the wine jar, and a blush instantly appeared on her pretty face.

"I'm tired, I'll sleep for a while..."

After saying that, she lay down on Li Yi's bed, and no more sound came.

"When did Mingzhu's alcohol tolerance become so bad?" Li Xuan murmured in confusion, then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about her. While we are free now, let's talk about that, that quadratic equation system..."

Li Yi felt that he had almost forgotten what he had just said.

If I don't even understand binary once, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve binary twice in this life...

After an hour, Li Xuan finally left with satisfaction.

Although he hasn't figured out some things yet, it's just a matter of time. Today's trip has yielded a lot of gains, and I've been greatly satisfied both physically and mentally.

Li Mingzhu also left, carried away by the old woman I met last time.

When the old woman picked her up from the bed, she looked at Li Yi with suspicion, as if he had done something wrong to the princess, which made Li Yi quite depressed.

You can't do it to anyone else, just don't do it to her. If you accidentally smash it in your hand, you won't have time to cry.

The two of them wiped their mouths and left after eating, leaving a mess, and Xiaohuan had to clean it up.

The little prince kept his promise and acted quickly. In less than an hour, the guards brought two hundred taels of silver.

Let Xiaohuan send the money directly to Ruyi. Ruyi keeps the key to the family's treasury. Li Yi usually only cares about making money but not spending it. When he needs money, he just needs to let her know. No matter how much money Li Yi needs, she will never ask where the money goes.

After dinner, it is not appropriate to lie down immediately. Go for a walk in the yard to digest the food and guide Ruyi. With Li Xuan's IQ, it is impossible for him to figure out Arabic numerals and linear equations in a short time. He should not bother him in the next two days.

At this time, in the Ning Wang Mansion, Li Xuan, who had just returned to the mansion, looked at an old man in front of him with concern and asked, "Is Master Wu feeling better?"

The old man opposite Li Xuan stroked his beard and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am fine."

Then, the old man sighed again and said with great regret, "I never thought that the two stones of different sizes could fall to the ground at the same time. I have been wrong all my life..."

"Master, don't worry. People are not saints, and we can't know all the truths in the world." Li Xuan comforted him, "Besides, the world is so big, there are many things we haven't thought of, such as..."

"Haha, what the prince said makes sense. Even saints can't avoid mistakes, and we ordinary people are even more so." Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness would say such a thing. The old man was very pleased. It seems that under his earnest teachings these days, the prince has also grown a lot, so he will have an explanation to the prince in the future.

He smiled and asked, "For example, what?"

Li Xuan smiled slightly, "For example, Master thought I wanted to give an example."

"..."

Looking at Master Wu's dull expression, Li Xuan felt very happy.

The tricks learned from Li Yi are really practical!

The old man couldn't stand Li Xuan's sudden turn. After a brief moment of shock, Master Wu's face was slightly embarrassed and he said, "Since the prince is back, let's start today's lessons earlier."

The old master had obviously recovered from the blow in the morning and completed the lessons he missed today with due diligence.

Li Xuan was not interested in the calendar, astronomy, and other things the old man talked about, not only because they were boring, but also for an important reason.

What Master Wu said was far from what he learned from Li Yi.

He looked at the old man and said, "The student still has one thing unclear, and I hope the master can solve it."

"Prince, please tell me." Master Wu was even more relieved. It was a good thing to have questions, which meant that the prince had listened to what he taught.

"Master once said that the sky is like a canopy and the earth is like a covered plate, which means that the sky is round and the earth is square?"

The old man nodded and said, "The sky is like a dome and the earth is like a chessboard, which means that we should complement each other with the round and square, which is also the core of the Taoist Yin-Yang theory."

The old man has a deep study of Taoist thought throughout his life, and the round sky and square earth are the embodiment of the Yin-Yang theory, so he naturally has no doubts about these.

"I wonder if Master has ever seen a sail on the sea?" Li Yi suddenly asked.

The old man didn't know why His Royal Highness asked this question, but he nodded and said, "When I was young, I traveled all over the world, so I have seen it."

"Then I wonder if Master still remembers what part of the sail that comes from the sea is the first part you see?" Li Xuan asked again with a smile.

"Of course it's the mast." The old man said without hesitation.

At this moment, he was even more curious. What exactly did His Royal Highness want to ask?

Li Xuan smiled and said, "If the ground is as flat as a chessboard, shouldn't we see the whole ship? Why do we see the mast first?"

"Unless..., the ground under our feet is round..." Li Xuan stretched out his palm and made an arc.

"This..."

The old man was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't say anything strong.

"Absurd, it's ridiculous..." The old man's face sank. This is something passed down by his ancestors. Naturally, he would not think that the cognition over the past few decades is wrong. If the prince's remarks were spread, it would be a joke and lose the face of the royal family.

Li Xuan's expression was a little dissatisfied. He was talking to the other party about reason, but the old man didn't answer directly, and kept saying that he was talking nonsense and making trouble------this was his fault.

"If you still have doubts about this, I can give you a few more examples..."

Master Wu's heart had actually begun to waver. After hearing Li Xuan's next words, he doubted what he had learned over the years. His body trembled, his face turned paler, and he no longer cared about the difference in status. He said sternly: "Shut up!"

If he continued to talk, his faith over the years would probably collapse...
