In Zhu Ying's view, no matter that the third prince would become the crown prince or the emperor in the future, at this moment, he was her younger brother, and a child who would be confused, bewildered, would smile shyly, would be shy from time to time, and who needed her care.
In Zhang Shou's opinion, the third prince was growing at a very fast pace, but it was obvious that this growth was forced by the emperor.
However, although the emperor did not push the Third Prince like some tiger fathers in later generations, and his methods were quite gentle, he still had the suspicion of forcing things to happen. He did not think that the Third Prince would be happy after discovering it.
To be honest, even an outsider like him who disliked and even hated the eldest and second princes felt that the emperor was too partial. If the emperor had had one tenth of the love and patience for the eldest and second princes, he probably wouldn't have let the brothers grow up to be so crooked. However, even though he thought so, he had no intention of standing up for the two.
Moreover, even if Zhu Ying did not leave the palace immediately after the imperial lecture ended that day, Zhang Shou would not have been able to learn from her the inside story of the father and son peacemaker today. But based on his understanding of the emperor and the third prince, he always felt that the father and son seemed to be acting in a double act.
Compared to the emperor's super natural acting, the third prince obviously hasn't adapted to the role yet, and he was even a little shy when he dragged others into the water. But although he had such a guess as a bystander, he couldn't help but think otherwise.
Especially the three brothers of Ye Mengqiu, who were extremely terrified after being summoned to the palace today. Since they left Wenhua Palace, they have been apologizing to him nervously - no matter who was sincere and who was fake, all four of them were worried about him.
"Doctor Zhang, it was for those of us who have been trying so hard to find a mathematical book that he proposed to set up mathematical academies in various places to lend books, but he didn't expect that he would be targeted by Master Kong. In the end, it's all our fault. Back then, it was us who barged into Mr. Lu's coming-of-age ceremony and said hurtful words. Doctor Zhang, not only did you let bygones be bygones, you also helped us!"
"Alas, although the emperor supported it, it was still fiercely opposed by Academician Kong. In the end, it was the Third Prince who came out to smooth things over... But the Third Prince failed to stick to it and instead dragged in the likes of Chief Yue and others to change the Calculation Hall into the Miscellaneous Scripture Hall. It's such a pity!"
Hearing Ye Mengqiu say this, Lu Sanlang couldn't help but complain a few words, especially about the attitude of the Third Prince, which he couldn't understand. Usually, he didn't see the Third Prince so interested in other subjects, so why did he suddenly come up with such a muddy idea
He was clearly Zhang Shou's student, and he always admired and respected him. Why did the Third Prince change his attitude today? Who influenced him? Will it affect the future of Jiuzhang Hall? Will it affect the group of tutors who came from Jiuzhang Hall
"Well, the Third Prince is of the same lineage as the Emperor and has a far-sighted vision. As for the Mathematical Academy, it will be there one day."
Zhang Shou gave Lu Sanlang a look, and seeing that the little fat boy immediately showed a well-behaved and sensible expression, regardless of whether he understood or not, he also tried to comfort Ye Mengqiu and others. When the round-faced boy hesitantly asked whether he could go to Jiuzhang Hall to listen in on the class in the future, he immediately smiled.
