At this moment, another figure walked over in large strides. It was unknown if he had smelled the fragrance.
When Wei Zheng saw Li Er hiding outside the courtyard wall and peeping, he felt a little strange.
Wei Zheng, who walked forward, was about to bow and greet him when he was stopped by Li Er's gaze.
Wei Zheng seemed to have understood something. He looked into the courtyard and saw Li Chengqian holding a big spoon in his hand. He was shocked!
"This... What a disgrace!"
As Li Chengqian's teacher, Wei Zheng immediately walked into the courtyard with a dark expression. He did not care that Li Er was outside and scolded Li Chengqian.
"You can be the Crown Prince, how can you do this kind of work?”
"It's beneath my dignity and unseemly!"
"So many books of the sages have been read for nothing?”
"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, not to mention that you're the Crown Prince…"
......
Wei Zheng had obviously forgotten the fact that he was " taught " by Li Chengqian a few days ago. It could only be said that the impact of Li Chengqian holding a big spoon on Wei Zheng was too great!
Looking at Wei Zheng who suddenly barged in, Li Chengqian looked at him calmly and said indifferently.
"Who said that the Crown Prince can't cook?”
"Do people who read the books of the sages only know how to hand over clothes and food?”
After being stopped by Li Chengqian, the anxious Wei Zheng was suddenly at a loss for words.
Pointing at the big spoon in Li Chengqian's hand, he stammered but could not say anything.
"In short, the Sage said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Does Your Highness think that the Sage is wrong?”
Helpless, Wei Zheng could only bring out the Sage's quote.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was amused.
He was the one who had the deepest memory of the Sage's classics.
With his photographic memory, Li Chengqian had flipped through all the Sage books he could find in the past few days and memorized them all in his mind.
Li Chengqian said calmly.
"A gentleman cannot bear to see a beast die when he sees it alive. Hearing his voice, I couldn't bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen."
"What the Sage meant was that as long as there is something with blood and qi, a gentleman should not kill it. He praised the gentleman's heart of forbearance, not really asking a gentleman to do other things.”
"It's just that some scholars are lazy and do nothing. They deliberately use this as an excuse to not work…"
......
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Wei Zheng was stunned!
Even Li Er, who was eavesdropping outside the courtyard, was stunned!
The two of them did not seem to expect that Li Chengqian would actually say such an allusion!
Especially Wei Zheng, after Li Chengqian's reminder, he immediately thought of the origin of this allusion. Even what Li Chengqian said was the truth.
However, what made Wei Zheng's mood complicated was that he had been educated by this student in front of him again?
Who was the teacher and who was the student?
Wei Zheng could not help but fall into deep thought. He kept feeling that he had been defeated in front of Li Chengqian these few days.
Did he not care about his face?
Especially when Li Chengqian said that scholars used this as an excuse for laziness, it seemed to have a hidden meaning…
Li Er, who was standing outside the courtyard, was also deep in thought. Just based on the imperial examination's "shallow opinion", Li Er's view of Li Chengqian had undergone a huge change.
And now, hearing Li Chengqian rebut a sage like Wei Zheng until he was speechless, Li Er realized Li Chengqian's change!
In the past, rumors had always said that the Crown Prince was extravagant and licentious. From the looks of it, he was clearly a great talent from ancient times to the present!
Li Er's eyes gradually lit up, as if he had picked up a treasure!
The Great Tang had gained yet another great talent!
At this moment, seeing that Wei Zheng was speechless, Li Chengqian did not force him.
Logically speaking, it was clearly Wei Zheng who started the topic first. Li Chengqian was simply teaching him how to be a person.
Seeing Wei Zheng fall into silence, Li Chengqian invited him.
"Sir, it's getting late. Why don't you stay for dinner?”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately came back to his senses. At the same time, the fragrance he smelled when he arrived at the Eastern Palace appeared in his mind.
He could not help but nod on the spot.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Seeing Wei Zheng agree, Li Chengqian, who was about to say something, swallowed his words.
He was just being polite. He did not expect Wei Zheng to be so rude…
Just as Li Chengqian led Wei Zheng into the house, a light cough came from outside the courtyard.
Li Er, who had been observing outside the courtyard for a long time, could no longer hold his breath when he saw that it was about to eat.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When they saw Li Er walk into the courtyard, the palace servants immediately knelt down and bowed.
Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian also went forward to bow.
"Your son attends Imperial Father!"
"Your humble subject greets Your Majesty!"
As the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian naturally did not need to kneel.
Not only was Wei Zheng an important official, but he had also met Li Er before he came, so there was no need for him to kneel.
Li Chengqian was still wondering why Li Er was here.
It had to be known that this was the first time he had seen Li Er after transmigrating to this world. He suddenly felt a little flustered, worried that the other party would see through his flaws.
It was just that Li Chengqian still did not know that this was already the second time Li Er had met him.
Li Er looked at Li Chengqian in front of him. It could be said that the more he looked, the more satisfied he became!
He thought to himself, This kid is much stronger than me!
