Compared to his first time entering the palace, Meton's second time was much more normal. After all, he was walking in.
After passing through the Vermilion Bird Gate, Meton was checked thoroughly by the guards. Furthermore, he was checked from head to toe by a device similar to the ones in the modern world.
Meton curled his lips in disdain. Wasn't it just a magnet? If this young master wanted to smuggle it in, he had plenty of ways to get away with it.
Of course, Meton could only keep such thoughts to himself. If he said it out loud, the search might become even stricter.
Meton put on his shoes and tidied up his clothes. These perverted guards wouldn't even let off a suspicious enemy.
Pande smiled as he watched Meton make a fool of himself. This fellow was definitely doing it on purpose. He didn't even warn him before coming.
"Alright, everyone who enters the palace for the first time has to go through this." Pande said.
Meton nodded helplessly. Even with such a sophisticated inspection system in the modern world, there would still be holes in it, let alone relying on a magnet. Manual inspection had always been a necessary step. After all, this was an era where imperial power was as mighty as the heavens.
Meton followed Pande through the palace. Along the way, they were also questioned a few times. However, it wasn't as strict as the first time. When some guards saw Pande leading Meton, they only asked a few questions before letting them pass.
Soon, Meton was led to a large hall.
"Chongwenguan Hall!"
Meton looked at the three large words in front of the hall and suddenly realized that this was the place where the princes studied.
"Eunuch Pang! May I know where His Majesty is? This young one wishes to pay his respects! "Meton asked cautiously.
"County Count Mo, please wait here first. After His Majesty is dismissed from court, he will come over to inspect the princes' studies. At that time, County Count Mo will naturally see His Majesty." Pande said.
Modun heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Li Shimin had been checking on the princes' studies, and while he was at it, he had brought Modun along.
It seemed that he had been thinking too much. He thought that Li Shimin had specially summoned him out of his busy schedule!
"Phew!" Meton slowly heaved a sigh of relief and consoled himself, "I'm not that important. Li Shimin wouldn't purposely target me. At most, he would use me as a negative example and give the princes a practical lesson. "
The more he consoled himself, the more uncertain he felt, especially after Pande led Meton to Chongwenguan Hall........... and Chongwenguan Hall... to one side,,,, Meton, and the guards......... and........ and...
"This big brother, may I know your name? ..................
. "Meton tried to flatter the guards. Unfortunately, he didn't get any response.
Meton awkwardly touched his nose and said, "With big brother's loyal character, your future will be limitless!"
Hehehe! There was still silence.
The whole scene suddenly became awkward. Meton gave up the idea of making connections and began to worry about his upcoming fate. He didn't seem to have done anything out of line!
Not knowing how long had passed, a burst of whispers interrupted Meton's contemplation of life.
"Did you see that! He's the big demon king. "A little boy's voice came from behind the stone lion in Chongwenguan Hall.
"Really? Why do I think he's not that scary? Even big brother isn't as strong as him! "A cute voice said weakly, making people unable to help but like it.
"Tang Zi, don't be deceived by his appearance. After you enter school, you will know how scary this big demon king is. Do you want to know when the water in the pond will be full?" Zheng Tai's voice was filled with grief and indignation.
"Ninth brother, isn't that a waste of water? Why don't you turn off the water pipe? "Cuozi said.
"How would I know? That question was set by this big demon king." Zheng Tai angrily said.
Meton heard this and moved. Ninth brother, Cuozi, and the two children were outside Chongwenguan Hall, but the guards ignored them. There was only one possibility.
They were Prince Jin, Li Zhi, who was ranked ninth among the princes, and Princess Jinyang, Li Mingda, nicknamed Cuozi. These two little fellows thought that their voices were very soft and hid very well behind the stone lion, and no one noticed them.
Meton smiled bitterly in his heart. In his heart, the biggest big demon king was Li Zhi, but he didn't expect that he would become the big demon king in other people's hearts. Li Zhi was obviously the victim of Meton's unintentional math question.
"Speaking ill of others behind their backs is not the conduct of a gentleman!" Meton purposely made a serious face and teased the two.
"Ah! Ninth brother, what do we do if the big demon king finds us? "Princess Jinyang's cute voice was a little anxious.
"Cuozi, don't be afraid. Ninth brother will protect you!" Li Zhi stepped forward and said.
"I said it. What do you think?" A seven-year-old boy jumped out from behind the stone lion, his face full of grief and indignation. Behind him was a girl of four or five years old, wearing a goose yellow brocade robe. Her baby fat face was full of nervousness, and her small hands were tightly grasping Li Zhi's clothes.
"Greetings to Your Highness, Princess Jinyang, Prince Jin!"
The guard who had ignored Meton before bowed and saluted.
Modun looked disdainfully at the guard who had been silent all this while. The guard smiled bitterly in his heart. Of course, they didn't have to bow to the two who were hiding behind them. However, since the two had already come out, they couldn't just turn a blind eye to them!
With the guard around, Princess Jinyang was not so nervous. She looked at Meton and said cutely, "Who are you? Why are you bullying Ninth brother? "
"Meton of the Mo Family Village greets Your Highness, Princess Jinyang, Prince Jin!" Meton had just despised the guard and conveniently despised himself. After all, they were the royal family!
"Ninth brother, you're lying again. How can Meton be the big demon king? I heard from my eldest brother that Meton is fun and has many strange things. Last time, when Xiao Jin was about to die, my mother used Meton's method to save Xiao Jin! " Princess Jinyang looked at Meton curiously. Xiao Jin was a koi fish. Once, she put Xiao Jin in a basin of water. As a result, Xiao Jin quickly fell over due to lack of oxygen. Empress Zhangsun personally taught Princess Jinyang to blow air into the water so that Xiao Jin could survive.
Princess Jinyang was overjoyed when she saw that Xiao Jin was saved by herself. Empress Zhangsun specially explained the principle to Princess Jinyang. She also explained to Princess Jinyang how Mo Zi kept his promise for thousands of years, the catfish effect, and the secret skill of living fish invented by Meton. Therefore, Princess Jinyang had a deep impression of Meton. She would never have thought that the big demon king mentioned by Ninth brother was actually the great hero in her heart, Meton.
"Don't be fooled by him, Princess Jinyang. You don't know how terrible Meton's arithmetic problem is!" Li Zhi was very anxious. He didn't expect that his staunchest ally would betray him so quickly.
"Really? Why do I feel that arithmetic is very simple! "Meton teased Li Zhi.
"Then let me ask you! Do you know what twelve times nine plus twenty-one equals? "Li Zhi shouted.
"One hundred and twenty-nine!" Meton opened his mouth.
Meton suddenly snickered. It turned out that Li Zhi's arithmetic was actually a mixed arithmetic problem.
"Fifteen times seven plus twenty brackets divided by five!" Li Zhi said the most terrifying problem in his heart.
"Twenty-five!"
Meton suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled. After hearing Meton's answer, Li Zhi suddenly picked up a piece of paper from his backpack and nodded with satisfaction.
