"Opportunistic?"
"!!!"
The Seventh Prince was stunned. He realized that it was not Luo Weiyang's voice.
He turned his head subconsciously.
The person in front of him was a beautiful woman. To be more precise, she was a woman dressed as a man. However, anyone could see that she was not as professional as Xiang Nanyu's when he was in Bozhou.
The woman chuckled.
"Master Li is a man of great talent. He was able to write such a majestic poem as Linjiangxian, and Jingshi... I guess you haven't heard of them. Forget it. You haven't even heard all of Master Li's works. Why do you say he is taking shortcuts?"
The Seventh Prince looked the other person up and down, shook his head, and said nothing.
He considers Li Qingcha a friend. Although he always takes the blame for Li Qingcha, friends are friends. He can still complain a few words to Luo Weiyang, which he definitely cannot say in front of strangers.
The woman sighed and muttered.
The Seventh Prince frowned, quite sure that he had heard the words “deceive the world and steal the reputation”.
He snorted.
"I really can't judge Li Qingcha's talent, but he did put some thought into the questions he came up with this time."
The woman looked at the Seventh Prince.
Looking at the expression, it seems that he is evaluating or weighing.
The Seventh Prince was unhappy.
"The questions Li Qingcha asked may seem simple, but they are actually very... I can't say they are difficult, I can only say they are very counterintuitive. All our lives we have seen red apples, so when we suddenly see a blue apple, we cannot accept it..."
The woman seemed a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. When people learn to read, they have inertia and conventions..."
The Seventh Prince began to talk about Li Qingcha's theory.
Moreover, almost no changes have been made.
The woman was surprised.
She looked at the Seventh Prince, and her eyes changed from disdain at the beginning to respect, and then she even nodded frequently.
The Seventh Prince thought:
mock up!
See if you are still crazy! ?
All this knowledge of mine was taught personally by Li Qingcha, the one who set the questions. Isn't it easy to fool you?
He also began to act like a know-it-all. He became more and more excited as he spoke, and talked like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

The Kings' House,
Main hall.
"Please calm down, Lord Li!"
"Please calm down, Lord Li!"
"Please calm down, Lord Li!"
The sounds from outside came in, making my eardrums hurt.
Lin Sicong laughed.
"Lord Li, you have established your authority easily this time."
Xie Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
Establish your authority once and for all, and then ensure that those people outside will not raise any objections to the process of selecting the prince's wife. This will have only benefits and no harm.
Lin Sicong added: "But it's not good to leave them outside for too long."
Then he turned to Li Qingcha,
"Master Li, do you think we can calm them down?"
Xie Chengxuan shook his head.
"No need to go out and appease them. Director Li just needs to ask another question and then send it outside. They will just think that Director Li is still angry, but for the sake of the overall situation, they don't want the selection to be delayed."
"This is a brilliant plan. It will also make them fear my power."
"Yes."
Xie Chengxuan showed the smile of a veteran official.
Li Qingcha just wanted to reduce his workload, but of course he couldn't really quit.
He asked someone to get paper and the Four Books for Women, and prepared to ask another question.
Just then, Luo Weiyang walked in.
Li Qingcha was stunned.
"Aren't you out there protecting the Seventh Prince?"
Luo Weiyang said: "It's okay, the Seventh Prince is now... um..."
She seemed to not know how to describe it, so she leaned close to Li Qingcha's ear and whispered,
Li Qingcha: “!!!”
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
She was confused and totally unable to understand.
"Chu...Gu...really?"
Luo Weiyang nodded.
"Why would I lie to you? They are just having a great time chatting~"
"..."
"how?"
"No, I just think this world is too small."
Li Qingcha looked full of emotion.

Imperial City.
Wenhua Pavilion.
The emperor did not review memorials in the Qianqing Palace today, but came to the Wenhua Pavilion to watch the princes and princesses read.
Of course, he didn't care that the Seventh Prince was not there.
On the first day of selecting the prince's consort, it was normal to sneak out to see.
The emperor himself did something similar in the past.
But at this moment, no one was reading the Confucian classics, but staring at a line of words.
The gates are closed...
Looking at the complicated gestures of these characters, everyone was stunned.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
With the emperor present, the ordinary gentlemen in the Zhanshi Mansion would definitely stand aside.
At this time, Chu Zhongtian was standing on the podium.
He was also thinking about what the problem was.
Seven words, not difficult at all, but why do I feel a distinct sense of obstruction and even a hint of uncertainty when I read them word by word?
This is amazing!
The emperor pondered.
"Master Chu, how many breaths can you read it?"
Chu Zhongtian closed his eyes and thought back.
"One breath."
emperor:"……"
I decided not to say what I had been thinking about for three breaths.
He turned around and scolded the princes and princesses present, saying sternly: "Look at you, how many of you can do what a university scholar can do? Why don't you reflect on yourself severely?"
A bunch of royal children lowered their heads.
Chu Zhongtian said quickly: "Don't blame the princes and princesses, even I... well... how should I put it... I think this question is not simple."
As for why it was not simple, he couldn't explain it clearly.
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It turned out to be a difficult problem.
Fortunately.
He asked again: "But the problem is, these words are not uncommon."
Chu Zhongtian scratched his head.
"This...I...I can't explain it well."
"..."
"..."
An eerie silence.
Fortunately, someone outside broke the deadlock.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has sent us the second question, as well as the idea for the first question."
The emperor was excited.
"Send it over quickly!"
"promise!"
The eunuch came in holding the note.
First of all, the question-setting idea.
The emperor read out: "These seven words are all taken from the first two chapters of "Instructions for Women". The first one is the word '齋' in '而齋告焉'..."
Chu Zhongtian was even more confused after hearing this.
Although he is a man, he is well-versed in classics and can recite the "Instructions for Women" backwards without any problem.
But the amazing thing was that when Li Qingcha picked out seven words from it, he was actually a little confused.
It's outrageous!
The emperor said, "The questions are excerpted from the Four Books for Women, so it is understandable that it is a little difficult for men to answer. The second question is also based on a similar idea, and it extracts seven words from the last two chapters of the Women's Admonitions."
While making excuses for the man, he also waved the note in his hand.
