The eunuchs and palace maids were used to His Majesty's crazy behavior. Whenever His Majesty was thinking seriously, he would act like this.
Compared to other things that His Majesty had done, this was nothing.
A month ago, His Majesty gathered all the officials and nobles in front of the Political Hall. He sent two eunuchs to the top of the Golden Hall to throw down two iron balls, one big and one small, from the same height.
The iron balls fell to the ground at the same time under the witness of countless officials and nobles.
The Academy of Science proposed the concept of free fall and calculated the value of gravitational acceleration considering air resistance. It was said that many of the Academy of Science's research was based on this concept.
They didn't know what gravitational acceleration was, but after this experiment spread throughout the capital, three scholars went crazy within a few days. Since then, no one dared to question the Academy of Science anymore.
It was said that His Majesty discovered this phenomenon when he was inspired by a strange woman in his early years.
It was because of that woman that His Majesty embarked on the path of studying the laws of heaven and earth. To commemorate that strange woman, His Majesty named this experiment "Xiao Huan Free Fall" Experiment.
Since then, the fifth of November every year has been designated as Science and Technology Day in the Jing Kingdom.
Later generations also had high praise for this experiment. It was hailed as the first of the "Ten Most Beautiful Physics Experiments in the Jing Kingdom". This experiment broke the rigid way of thinking, inspired people's wisdom, and had a profound impact on future generations.
Of course, this was all in the future …

…
Two hours later.
Li Xuan rubbed his slightly swollen head. His face was slightly pale. He finally saw the key point.
"The color of soap bubbles is caused by the superposition of light reflected from the front and back membranes. It's a phenomenon of light interference."
He was startled. If the answer to the question was this simple, then the things he had read earlier, such as "wave-particle duality, general relativity, quantum theory, Schrödinger's cat, Murphy's law, L 'Hospital's law …", all of these things that he had struggled so hard to understand, were all used by Li Yi to make up for the number of words in the book?
Schrodinger's cat … What was the relationship between Schrodinger and Old General Xue? He knew that the box might be poisoned, yet he still put the cat in. Did he ever consider the cat's feelings?
Who was Murphy? Was he the descendant of the Mo Family? The laws he proposed had nothing to do with the ideology of the Mo Family. Who was Luo Bida? What was the limit? Why did he ask for guidance …
If he ran fast enough, his sorrow would not be able to catch up with him. Was this the theory of relativity? But what did this have to do with his question?
After staring blankly on the spot for a long time, his face finally revealed an embarrassed and angry expression. He sat back down and picked up the letter. A moment later, he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, "This deranged fellow, he actually gathered 4,381 words this time!"
A figure walked in from outside and looked at Li Xuan, asking in a low voice, "Imperial Brother, did Teacher send a letter?"
Li Xuan looked at the girl who was quietly standing in front of him with a smile. A trace of heartache flashed across his face as he smiled and said, "Yes, he said that Duaner misses you very much and wants to come back to see you as soon as he grows up."
The girl said with a smile, "I also miss Duaner. I wonder if he has grown taller and how many teeth he has grown …"
"I didn't say in this letter …" Li Xuan took out another letter from the table and handed it to her. He said, "This is a letter from him to you. Maybe it's written on it. Oh yes, there's also a letter from your imperial sister. When you return to the palace later, send it to her."
"Thank you, Brother Xuan …"
She took the letter. At this moment, a small figure ran in from outside. When she ran past the door, she accidentally tripped and fell. Without waiting for the eunuchs and palace maids to help her up, she got up by herself, patted the dirt off her body, and ran to Li Xuan. She raised her little face and asked, "Daddy, daddy, is Duaner back?"
Li Xuan picked her up and said, "Duaner hasn't come back yet. When Xiao Rui grows up, Duaner can come back to play with you …"
The little girl who had just turned two bit her finger and said seriously, "Then Xiao Rui has to grow up quickly …"
…
Somewhere in the palace, the little girl carefully opened the letter with a faint smile on her face. She murmured, "Duaner already has 20 teeth. His height …"
She stood up and gestured. She murmured, "His height is already up to my waist. When he grows up, I won't be able to carry him …"
She carefully read the letter several times before putting it into an envelope and locking it in an exquisite box.
There were already several letters lying in the box. One letter every month. There were a total of eight letters now. In other words, her teacher had been gone for a full eight months.
When she received her teacher's first letter, her heart was filled with joy. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep for a few days. Later, she wrote many pages of replies. Her wrists were sore …
She had so many things she wanted to say to her teacher. She wanted to drink the soup that her teacher made. She wanted to eat the sugar figurines that her teacher bought for her. She wanted her teacher to put her on his neck to watch the fun …
Later, she burned the letters one by one.
No amount of paper could finish writing all the things she wanted to say to her teacher. She believed that her teacher knew all the things she wanted to say.
"I wonder what was written in the letter that he wrote to my sister?" She looked at the other letter on the table and picked it up. She walked out of the palace and headed in the direction of the Morning Dew Palace.
The Morning Dew Palace.
The Princess, who had just finished practicing, changed her clothes, and bathed, walked back into the palace. She looked at an old man standing in the middle of the palace and asked, "One year is almost up. What plans does Chief Chang have?"
Chang De raised his head and said, "There isn't much to see in the capital anymore. I plan to go take a look outside. This was once His Majesty's long-cherished wish. Now, I can only fulfill it on His Majesty's behalf."
MIngzhu nodded and didn't say anything else.
Chang De turned and walked out of the palace. After taking one step, he took another step back and asked, "I'll ask out of line. What plans does Your Highness have in the future?"
"Chief Chang." Princess Shouning walked in from outside and nodded slightly at Chang De. She then handed the letter to MIngzhu and said with a smile, "Sister, Sir has sent a letter."
MIngzhu took the letter and then thought of Chang De's question. However, when she raised her head to look, there was no one at the palace door.
She put the letter away and asked the young girl beside her, "You have to manage the academy and the Women's Union. If you feel tired, you can put one down first."
"I'm not tired." The young girl shook her head and said, "It's good to be busy every day. I can also learn many things that can't be learned from books. Sister, on the other hand, don't be too busy. Sir told me to keep an eye on you and not let you always stay up late. He said that girls who stay up late will age …"
MIngzhu nodded. Every time he wrote to her, he would mention this.
He said that girls who stayed up late would age easily and get wrinkles easily. It was easy for their hormones to go haywire, causing irregular menstruation, and causing their breasts to shrink …
He also said that if she became an old woman in the future, no one would want her …
Therefore, she never opened Li Yi's letters in front of Shouning. Little girls were not allowed to read them.
After he left, she became more and more unscrupulous. However, Shuzhou was thousands of miles away from the capital. Her hands could not reach there.
She thought about it, sat down, took a pen and paper, and began to write.
The young girl walked to the side and asked curiously, "Sister, are you going to reply to Sir?"
MIngzhu shook her head and said, "This is for your Sister Ruyi."
…
In the Shangshu Province, an official slammed the memorial sent by the Shuzhou Provincial Governor on the table and said angrily, "What an exorbitant demand! One million taels of silver! One million taels of silver is enough to fight several wars with the Qi Kingdom. Why do they need so much money to suppress bandits? Do they think the money in the national treasury comes out of thin air?"
"Such an unreasonable request must not be agreed to!"
