Chapter 26-Helping Lady Bian to Become Fated with Cao Pi!
Cao Cao waved at Little Cao Chong.
Little Cao Chong walked unsteadily to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took out a piece of steamed deer meat from his plate as a reward for Cao Chong.
Madam Huan stood beside Cao Chong with a smug expression on her face.
"Chong-er, why aren't you thanking Father?" Madam Huan said.
"Heh." Before Little Cao Chong could speak, a cold laugh came from the hall.
Cao Xuan looked over when he heard the voice.
It was none other than Cao Zhi, who was sitting beside Cao Pi.
Cao Zhi's cold laugh was obviously unyielding.
Of course, Cao Xuan didn't feel any disgust because of Cao Zhi's unwillingness to cut.
Because Cao Zhi indeed had the ability to not be cut.
Wang Shizhen once commented that Cao Zhi, Li Bai and Su Shi were the three poets who could be called "immortal talents" in the two thousand years since the Han and Wei Dynasties.
Cao Zhi, Li Bai, and Su Shi were both immortal poets.
He wrote poems in seven steps and wrote poems at the age of ten. His thoughts were fast and his words were sharp.
After Cao Chong's death, the only person who could compete with Cao Pi for the heir was Cao Zhi.
If it wasn't for the fact that Shi Cai was too arrogant and often got drunk, it would be hard to tell what had happened in the battle for the crown prince.
Cao Zhi laughed coldly, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Lady Bian.
" Zhi 'er, you're not allowed to speak." Lady Bian glanced at Cao Zhi beside her and chided him softly.
However, Madam Huan was not willing to do so.
Madam Huan endured Madam Ding's reprimand. After all, Madam Ding was the main wife.
But your son is just a dancer, what right does he have to compete?
"Sister, what's wrong? If the child has something to say, let him say it. We're all family.”Madam Huan said.
Cao Zhi was only nine years old.
Even if he was smart, he was not scheming at all.
How could Cao Zhi know that Madam Huan was setting him up?
However, Cao Xuan, who was sitting beside Madam Ding, could tell.
As for Madam Ding, she was sitting on the fishing platform for Madam Huan's scheming.
As the main wife, as long as Madam Ding was unwilling, no one could shake her position.
At this moment, Madam Ding only cared about adding food to Cao Xuan's bowl and asking about his well-being.
As expected, Cao Zhi was still a child after all.
Cao Zhi straightened his neck and said," It's nothing more than two or three hands of the Book of Songs. When I was three years old, I was already familiar with all the Book of Songs and the Book of History."”
"Zhi 'er is intelligent, Chong' er can't be compared to him."”
"Since Sikong has returned today, I suggest that Sikong set a question to test the philosophers 'recent studies.”Madam Huan said.
Cao Pi did not show anything when he heard about the examination.
However, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi panicked.
"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and said,"Indeed, it has been a long time since I last tested the philosophers."”
"Pi 'er, Zhang' er, Zhi 'er, tell me about your recent studies.”Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and the other two beside Lady Bian.
As the head of the philosophers, Cao Pi was the first to stand up.
"Father, I've been studying the Book of Songs.”Cao Pi said after getting up.
Cao Cao nodded slightly and said," Quiet words go against common sense, and the elephant is respectful to the heavens. What does this mean? Tell me about it."”
Cao Pi returned the greeting and said,"Father, Jing Yan: Jing is also written as Jing, a clever word." Yong: Yes. Zhu Tao: It's rude to be honest. Xiang Gong: He looks respectful.
The general meaning was that he was using flowery words to show respect, but in fact, he was disrespectful to the heavens.”
Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, it seems Pi 'er has been studying very hard recently.”
After receiving Cao Cao's affirmation and praise, Cao Pi smiled.
"Thank you, Father." Cao Pi bowed respectfully.
After Cao Pi finished speaking, it was naturally Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi's turn.
"Zhang-er, Zhi-er, what have you two been studying recently?”Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi and asked.
Firstly, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, who had stood up and were about to reply, lowered their heads and did not say anything.
Cao Cao knew that Cao Zhang didn't like to study, but it wasn't that Cao Zhi didn't like to study. He just loved to play. He was smart enough, but he loved to play.
At the side, Madam Huan smiled smugly at Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi who could not answer.
Cao Cao frowned as he looked at Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi,""Why, have the two of you not learned from Teacher these past few days?”
Lady Bian saw Cao Cao's expression change and stood up.
"Sikong, don't blame me. It's this concubine who didn't discipline Zhang 'er and Zhi' er well.”Lady Bian knelt on the ground and begged.
An unhappy expression appeared on Cao Cao's face.
Coincidentally, Cao Xuan could not eat anymore.
Madam Ding also stopped announcing the dishes to Cao Cheng and raised her head to look at Madam Bian, who was kneeling in the hall.
Madam Ding had never liked Madam Bian. This was no longer a secret.
Glancing coldly at Madam Bian who was kneeling on the ground, Madam Ding frowned and said,"A wife should take care of her husband and teach her children.”
"Sikong is busy with official business outside, so you can't be his wife.”
"And you have nothing to do in the residence, and you can't even teach your son. You should be punished!”Madam Ding said with a frown.
Cao Xuan sat at the side and listened.
In ancient times, men were outside and women were inside.
The mansion of this wealthy family was similar to the palace.
The affairs of the female family in the back house were all managed by the main wife.
If Lady Ding wanted to punish Lady Bian, even Cao Cao could not do so without a valid reason.
Otherwise, it would affect Madam Ding's WeChat.
It was not a good reputation to spoil a concubine and destroy his wife.
Therefore, when Madam Ding said that she wanted to punish him, Cao Cao only pretended not to hear anything.
The two maids standing behind Madam Ding were already prepared to step forward.
Madam Ding looked coldly at Madam Bian, who had her head lowered.
Suddenly, he felt his sleeve being tugged lightly.
It was none other than Cao Xuan.
Madam Ding turned to look at Cao Xuan and asked dotingly,"What's wrong, Xuan 'er?"
"Grandmother, today is the first time Xuan 'er has come home. Please don't be angry, okay?" Cao Xuan said with a smile.”
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, everyone looked up at him.
Even Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi looked at Cao Xuan.
Madam Ding looked at Cao Xuan, and her stern face softened. Then, she patted Cao Xuan's head dotingly.
"Since Xuan 'er has said so, then so be it.”
"Listen to Xuan 'er." Madam Ding said with a smile.
Cao Xuan immediately smiled.”
Cao Xuan was just trying to form a good relationship with Cao Pi.
Cao Cao was also very satisfied with Cao Xuan's performance.
Cao Xuan was labeled as a pure and innocent person.
Cao Pi, who was standing behind Lady Bian, looked at Cao Xuan and nodded lightly.
The two of them looked at each other. For the first time, they had a conversation.
