Chapter 145 Zamabu

"If you like excitement, come and play more often."

Ye Chenxi ate melon seeds and said, "Although the palace is magnificent, it is cold and impersonal. How about you talk to the emperor and the queen and just move to my house?"

Chu Gongxuan choked up a little: "As a prince, how can you live outside the palace at will?"

"Hmm..." Ye Chenxi thought: "Then, how about asking the emperor to make you a prince first? If you are a prince, you can have your own mansion. Then, you don't have to live in the palace."

"How can it be so easy to be crowned a king?" Chu Gongxuan said with a straight face: "Chenxi, have you never studied hard? Next month, the emperor will check the homework of the princes and royal family members, and you can't escape it. If you say this in front of him, you will be scolded."

"What? It's time to check the homework again?" Ye Chenxi's face drooped instantly: "Didn't we just check it not long ago?"

"The last random inspection was last year." Ye Chenting reminded.

Ye Chenxi looked at Chu Anlan: "Don't be afraid, Anlan is with me anyway!"

"Don't drag me into this." Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "I'm busy preparing for my wedding, so I don't need to participate in this academic inspection."

Ye Chenxi wiped away her nonexistent tears, sniffed, and looked at Ye Wanqing enviously: "It's better to be a girl. If you are a girl, you don't have to be checked by the emperor."

Ye Wanqing said calmly: "It is true that the Imperial College girls' school does not need the emperor to check their homework, but before we leave school every day, the teachers and female officials will conduct random checks. The contents of the random checks are not limited to "Female Virtue", "Female Training", zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, tea art, etiquette..."

"So many?" Ye Chenxi widened his eyes.

Ye Wanqing nodded.

Chu Anlan sighed, "I know that. Chu Shengxi and I once secretly went to the girls' school to take a look. Those who are not good at tea making brew tea over and over again and drink one cup after another. Some even vomited but continued to drink. Those who are not good at etiquette, no matter which family the ladies are from, are all made to stand in a row in the corridor, with a bowl of water on their heads as they walk in greeting..."

Ye Chenxi was stunned when she heard this: "Sister, have you ever been punished?"

Ye Wanqing calmly drank a sip of tea: "No."

"Xiao Qi was punished before." Chu Gongxuan said slowly, "He drank a bellyful of tea and studied etiquette with a bowl on his head. As a result... he went back and cried for a long time."

"Why?" Ye Chenxi asked.

Chu Gongxuan coughed and said, "The roasted whole lamb is ready."

Ye Chenxi's attention was immediately diverted and he jumped up from the stool: "I want to eat a whole leg of lamb!"

Chu Anlan also stood up: "The front legs belong to me!"

"Don't grab it!"

"No one wants roasted lamb ribs?"

"..."

There was only a dozen people in the yard, but there was a noise like that of hundreds of people.

late at night.

A young man in red clothes staggered out of the Princess's Mansion under the cover of night and climbed onto the carriage of Prince Dun's Mansion using his hands and feet.

Soon, the carriage drove into the night.

Then, a dark shadow landed lightly from the wall beside the long street and caught up with the carriage.

Prince Dun loves beauty and his daily expenses are very luxurious.

Even the carriages were carved and gilded.

The gorgeous carriage drove along the night and stopped outside Prince Dun's mansion. The young man in red jumped off the carriage and staggered into the mansion.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day.

It was still dark, and when Ye Hongwei yawned as he arrived at the martial arts practice ground beside the artificial lake, Chu Anlan had already assumed a horse stance.

Seeing Ye Hongwei, Chu Anlan smiled and greeted him: "Good morning, father-in-law."

Ye Hongwei glanced at him and said, "You're early."

Chu Anlan smiled and said, "It's all my fault for being too hardworking."

Ye Hongwei rolled up his sleeves, lifted his robe, and also did a horse stance.

Soon, Ye Chenting also came.

Seeing him, Ye Hongwei said, "Aren't the results going to be announced today? Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Ye Chenting answered truthfully: "Father, I can't sleep."

"Go practice swordplay over there." Ye Hongwei reminded: "Whether you make the list or not, you will have to entertain guests later, so save your energy." "Son understands. I will go practice swordplay first."

Ye Chenting chose a sword and went to the side to practice swordplay.

As soon as he left, Ye Chenxi came with Chu Gongxuan.

Ye Chenxi yawned as he walked, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well at night. He talked to Chu Gongxuan for a long time.

He came over yawning: "Father, An Lan, good morning."

"Good morning, uncle. Good morning, An Lan."

Chu Gongxuan walked to the edge of the martial arts field and began to roll up his sleeves.

Ye Hongwei was puzzled: "Sixth Prince, what is this..."

Chu Gongxuan said, "Chen Xi said that he wanted me to stay with him in the Princess's Mansion for a few days. I promised him that if he could do horse stance for an hour and a half and recite an article from the Book of Rites today, I would stay in the Princess's Mansion for another day. I came here to supervise him."

Ye Chenxi clenched his fist with one hand and said with high morale: "I can definitely do it!"

Chu Anlan urged from the side: "It's not enough to just talk, come on, give it half an hour and show me."

"Come on, come on!"

Ye Chenxi lifted the hem of his robe, walked to the open space next to Chu Anlan, and stood firmly in a horse stance.

Chu Gongxuan, on the other hand, stood beside Ye Hongwei.

Seeing this, Ye Hongwei simply called the guards who were watching the fun on the side into the martial arts training ground, and had them line up and do horse stance.

When Ye Wanqing walked to the martial arts field in the morning breeze, she almost thought she was sleepwalking.

Qianxi, who was accompanying him, took a breath of cool air and said, "Today... the martial arts training ground is so lively!"

Ye Wanqing curved her eyes: "Yeah, it's really lively."

She likes lively and sunny days the most.

After stretching his muscles, Ye Wanqing also entered the martial arts field.

Seeing her, Ye Chenxi seemed to have seen a savior, and his eyes lit up: "Sister, come and stand next to me!"

Chu Anlan teased him deliberately: "No, your sister has to stand next to her brother-in-law."

Ye Hongwei couldn't stand it: "If you make any more noise, you will have to stand in horse stance for another half an hour!"

They both fell silent.

Ye Wanqing greeted everyone one by one before walking to Ye Chenxi's side: "What's wrong?"

Ye Chenxi asked: "Can you still recite the Book of Rites?"

"Yes." Ye Wanqing nodded.

"That's great!" Ye Chenxi said, "Please pick a passage with fewer words for me and teach me how to recite it. You read a sentence and I'll remember it."

Ye Wanqing responded: "Okay."

If you recite a book while standing in a horse stance, all your energy will be focused on the content you are reciting, so you probably won't feel that tired, right?
Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Ye Wanqing asked, "Chenxi, are you going to recite the Book of Rites: The Meaning of Archery today?"

"Okay, okay!" Ye Chenxi nodded repeatedly.

Ye Wanqing smiled, her voice as gentle as a spring: "In ancient times, when the princes shot, they had to perform the Yanli etiquette first..."

Every time she recited a sentence, Ye Chenxi followed suit.

The sky gradually brightened and the sun rose.

After finishing the horse stance, Ye Chenxi had already memorized the first thirty sentences of "The Book of Rites - The Meaning of Archery" and was very excited: "I am so awesome!"

Even Ye Hongwei, who usually doesn't praise others easily, said with a sullen face: "Well, not bad, keep up the good work."

Ye Chenxi puffed his cheeks, opened his eyes wide and blinked: "Father, your son is working so hard, don't you plan to show your appreciation?"

Ye Hongwei glanced at him and said, "I'll give you a set of punches as a reward?"

Ye Chenxi glanced at the sun that was gradually rising, retracted his neck, and said cautiously: "My son doesn't deserve this kind of reward, father should keep it for himself..."

"What about your future?" Ye Hongwei asked with a disappointed look on his face.

Ye Chenxi stuck out his tongue.
