Happy Little Scholar

Thinking carefully about what happened just now, even Ruyi knew the tricks, which made Li Yi, who thought he knew her well, feel tired.

Fortunately, I still stuck to the bottom line just now and was not fooled by the bait she threw out. If I had been careless just now and exposed my inner thoughts as a man, I wonder what would have happened?

He doesn't know. Even he can't figure out Ruyi now.

The person coming from the palace was still a eunuch, but he was not known to Li Yi. He stood upright in the front hall with a straight face. When he saw Li Yi walking in from the outside, he took a step forward. There was no need. The emotional voice said: "His Majesty once decreed that Li Xianzi teach arithmetic to all the princes and princesses. Now the Imperial Academy's doctor of arithmetic is on leave due to illness. In order not to delay the lessons of the princes and princesses, Li Xianzi will follow me into the palace now." ”

"Now?" Li Yi frowned. He was in such a hurry and didn't let anyone take a break. He didn't even prepare for lessons. What did he say when he entered the palace?

The eunuch urged with a straight face: "Your Highnesses cannot be delayed in their studies. County Master Li should hurry up."

"I know, I know, just wait a moment, I'll be out soon." Li Yi waved his hand, turned back and said a few words to Ruyi, then walked out quickly, looked at the eunuch and said lightly: "Let's go."

A carriage had long been parked outside the door. Considering the distance from here to the palace, half an hour's carriage ride would be enough.

A group of little princesses and princes are about seven to ten years old. If they were in later generations, their mathematics level would normally be as high as the second or third grade of elementary school. However, considering that they have never taken a mathematics class, they do not know the previous arithmetic classes. What it was like, Li Yi decided to start teaching from the most basic first.

Of course, textbooks are not a problem. There are complete types of textbooks from kindergarten to university. The textbooks of later generations have all been professionally certified. The scientific ones cannot be more scientific, so you can just pick out a book.

He showed his waist badge at the entrance of the palace and walked in with the eunuch. The last time he came out of the palace, Li Yi had remembered some of the directions. The place where the princes and princesses went to school was in the Bowen Hall, and they would pass by Shangshi on the way. Bureau, the distance between the two is not far.

When they reached the entrance of Bowen Hall, the eunuch said something and stood outside the hall waiting, "Mr. Li, there is still a quarter of an hour before the princesses and princes do their homework. You go in first."

Bowen Hall is a small palace. When Li Yi walked into the hall, he saw a series of low tables and tables placed in the hall. Maybe it was because the time had not arrived yet, and there was no one in the hall------there was only one lying in front. Fat man sleeping on the table.

Judging from the back, the little fat man should be about the same age as Li Yingcai. In terms of body shape, he is slightly inferior to him. He is lying on the table and sleeping soundly, snoring slightly.

Perhaps it was Li Yi's footsteps that woke him up. The little fat man suddenly jumped up from his position and said loudly: "Disciple's rules, saint's teachings, filial piety, and sincere faith... I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep!"

After saying this, there was no one around, and then he remembered that today was not the old man's class. He just wanted to lie down on the table and sleep for a while before the boring arithmetic class started.

Since he wasn't sleeping in that bad old man's class, and he wasn't going to complain to his father, there was nothing to be afraid of. The little fat man turned his head with an angry look on his face, glaring at the guy who had disturbed his sweet dreams. , "You are..., ah, it's you!"

Seeing the extra person in the hall, the angry look on the little fat man's face immediately disappeared and he asked: "Hey, are you here to make delicious food for us?"

The last time Shouning invited them to eat that weird food, he still couldn't forget it. The royal chef in the palace tried several times and couldn't make it taste like that. He had been thinking about it for two days.

"No." Li Yi shook his head and said.

Asking this kind of question as soon as they meet, no wonder this prince can grow so "strong" at such a young age.

The little fat man slapped the table, pretended to be majestic, and said, "I am King Li Han of Jin. I order you to go to the Shangshi Bureau immediately and cook the same meal as last time..."

Li Yi looked around the surroundings and was indifferent to the words of His Highness the Young Prince Jin.

Last time it was because of the old emperor's decree and the pride of a tsundere loli. But it was different now. He was not the royal cook and had no obligation to cook for them.

"You, if you dare not listen to me, believe it or not, I will let my father beat you!" Seeing Li Yi's indifference, the little fat man raised his eyebrows and threatened.

Li Yi has rich experience in dealing with naughty children. Prince Xiong is just another type of naughty child and is nothing to be afraid of.

As a prince, Li Han always wanted wind and rain in the palace. In addition to fearing his father, the eldest sister, Shouning, Li Li who could bite, that bad old man, and other people. A bad old man, afraid of ------ Who else has he been afraid of?

In short, a cook from Shangshi Bureau dared to disobey his order, which made His Royal Highness King Jin very angry.

"How dare you disrespect me? Just wait, I will tell your father today!" Li Han gritted his teeth and looked at Li Yi and said angrily.

I can't relieve my anger without giving him a good beating, but I can't hit him too hard, otherwise who will give him good food?

Not long after Li Han finished speaking, seven or eight figures poured in from outside the door, men and women, for Princess Shouning.

"Ah, why are you here?" Princess Shouning looked surprised when she saw Li Yi.

Among the princes and princesses, some had seen Li Yi before, but they only thought he was a cook in the Shangshi Bureau. Those who had not eaten hot pot with Shouning last time saw him for the first time.

The eunuch came over and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, Li Xianzi will be your highness's mathematics teacher in the future."

Li Yi glanced at him meaningfully. This guy had a sullen face in front of him, but smiled so brightly when facing the princess. This was naked discrimination.

"Mr." Jin Wang Li Han was stunned for a moment, and his face was dull.

When did the cook in the Shangshi Bureau become their teacher?

Princess Shouning didn't care about the teacher or not, and said with surprise: "Teach me how to make hot pot later. I didn't learn it last time."

"Let's talk about it later." Li Yi nodded, looked at the group of princesses and princes and said: "Since all the princes are here, let's start."

Perhaps it is precisely because of the special status of the princesses and princes that they are more obedient to the rules. Without the temptation of stories, they all returned to their seats and sat upright. Even Li Han, who was about to hit him with a stick just now, did not make any extraordinary moves.

First, Shouning introduced the princesses and princes present. After Li Yi took note, he asked her about the progress of her math class.

The answer was that they were still in the stage of learning Arabic numerals. The previous math teacher was teaching them how to convert numbers written in Chinese characters into Arabic numerals.

In other words, their math is still in the most primitive starting stage.

There are no blackboards and chalks in this world. Most of the courses they have to learn are taught through lectures, but math cannot be explained clearly with just a mouth.

Fortunately, the math teacher before also understood this principle. He pasted white paper on the upright wooden board and wrote with a brush, which was similar to the blackboard of later generations.

"Before starting the lecture, let's do a baseline test." Li Yi turned around and wrote on the white paper with a brush.

Thirty-six, four hundred and fifty-one, six thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, eighty-nine thousand five hundred and sixty-three, seven hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and sixty-seven...

When the princes and princesses were still wondering what the baseline test was, Li Yi spoke again, "Write these numbers on paper with Arabic numerals..."

Li Yi looked at Li Han who was looking around, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Your Highness Prince Jin, you come up and write..."
