Thinking about what happened just now, even Ruyi knew how to play tricks, which made Li Yi, who thought he knew her very well, feel tired.
Fortunately, he held his bottom line just now and was not fooled by the bait she threw out. If he had been careless and exposed his thoughts as a man, what would have happened?
He didn't know. Even he couldn't figure out Ruyi now.
The person who came from the palace was still a eunuch, but he was not someone Li Yi knew. He stood straight in the front hall with a straight face. When he saw Li Yi coming in, he stepped forward and said in an emotionless voice, "His Majesty has ordered me to teach mathematics to the princes and princesses. Today, the Doctor of Mathematics of the Imperial College is on leave due to illness. In order not to delay the studies of the princes and princesses, please come with me to the palace now."
"Now?" Li Yi frowned. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even give people time to prepare for the lessons. What was he going to teach in the palace without any preparation?
The eunuch urged with a straight face, "The studies of the princes can't be delayed. You'd better hurry up, Li Yi."
"I know, I know. Wait a minute, I'll come out soon." Li Yi waved his hand, turned back and said a few words to Ruyi. Soon, he came out, looked at the eunuch and said lightly, "Let's go."
A carriage was already parked outside the palace. Given the distance from here to the palace, it would only take them an hour to get there.
The group of little princesses and princes were about seven to ten years old. In the future, under normal circumstances, their mathematics level would be at the level of a second or third-grader in elementary school. However, considering that they had never taken mathematics classes before and did not know what the previous classes were like, Li Yi decided to start from the basics.
Of course, teaching materials were not a problem. There were all kinds of teaching materials from kindergarten to university. The teaching materials in the future were professionally certified and couldn't be more scientific. Any one of them would do.
He showed his waist token at the gate of the palace and walked in with the eunuch. Last time, when he came out of the palace, Li Yi remembered some directions. The princes and princesses went to school in Bowen Hall. They would pass by the Food Bureau on the way, so the distance between them was not far.
When he walked to the door of Bowen Hall, the eunuch said and stood outside the hall to wait. "County Magistrate Li, there is still a quarter of an hour before the Princesses and Princes start to study. You can go in first."
Bo Wen Hall was a small palace. When Li Yi walked into the hall, he saw that there were low tables and low tables in the hall. Perhaps it was not time yet, so there was no one in the hall — there was only a fatty sleeping on the table in front of him.
From the back, the little fatty should be about the same age as Li Yingcai. But his body was slightly smaller than Li Yingcai. Li Yingcai Li Yingcai was sleeping.
Perhaps Li Yi's footsteps woke him up. The little fatty suddenly jumped up from his seat and said loudly, "Disciple rules, Sage teachings, first filial piety, second honesty … I didn't sleep, I didn't sleep!"
After saying this, he found that there was no one around. Then he remembered that it was not the old man's class today. He just wanted to sleep on the table for a while before the boring math class began.
Since he was not sleeping in the class of the old man, and the old man would not complain to his father, then there was nothing to be afraid of. The little fatty turned his head angrily and glared at the guy who disturbed his sleep. "You are … Ah, it's you!"
Seeing that there was another person in the hall, the anger on the little fatty's face immediately disappeared. He asked, "Hey, are you here to make delicious food for us?"
The last time Shouning invited them to eat that strange thing, he still couldn't forget it. The imperial chefs in the palace tried several times but couldn't make that kind of taste. He had been thinking about it for two days.
"No." Li Yi shook his head and said.
He asked this kind of question as soon as they met. No wonder this prince could be so "strong" at such a young age.
The little fatty slapped the table and pretended to be dignified. He said, "I am Prince Jin, Li Han. I order you to go to the food bureau and make the same food as last time …"
Li Yi looked around and was indifferent to the words of the young prince.
Last time, it was because of the old emperor's decree and the arrogant Lolita's face. But now it was different. He was not the imperial chef and had no obligation to cook for them.
"You, if you dare to not listen to me, believe it or not, I will ask my father to beat you!" Seeing that Li Yi was indifferent, the little fatty raised his eyebrows and threatened.
Li Yi had a lot of experience dealing with naughty children. The bear prince was just a kind of naughty child, nothing to be afraid of.
As a prince, Li Han had always gotten whatever he wanted in the palace. Other than being afraid of his father, afraid of Eldest Royal Sister, afraid of Shou Ning, afraid of Li Li who would bite people, afraid of that old man, afraid of another old man, afraid of — who else had he been afraid of?
In short, a chef from the food bureau dared to disobey his orders. This made Prince Jin very angry.
"You dare to be disrespectful to me. Just you wait, I will tell my father today!" Li Han looked at Li Yi and said angrily.
If he didn't beat him, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger. But he couldn't beat him too hard. Otherwise, who would cook for him?
Not long after Li Han's words fell, seven to eight figures came in from the door. There were men and women, and the one in the lead was Princess Shouning.
"Ah, why are you here?" When she saw Li Yi, Princess Shouning was pleasantly surprised.
Among the princes and princesses, a few had seen Li Yi before, but they only thought he was a chef from the food bureau. Those who didn't eat hotpot with Shouning last time were seeing him for the first time.
The eunuch walked over and said with a flattering smile, "Your Highness, County Li will be your mathematics teacher from now on."
Li Yi gave him a meaningful look. This guy was livid in front of him, but he was smiling so brightly in front of the princess. This was blatant discrimination.
"Teacher?" Prince Jin was stunned for a moment, then his face became dull.
Since when could a chef from the Shangshi Bureau be their teacher?
Princess Shouning didn't care about whether he was a teacher or not. She said with surprise, "Teach me how to make hotpot later. I didn't learn it last time."
"Let's talk about it later." Li Yi nodded. He looked at the group of princesses and princes and said, "Since all the princes and princesses are here, let's start."
Perhaps it was because of the special status of the princesses and princes that they were even more obedient to the rules. Without the temptation of a story, they all returned to their seats and sat properly. Even Li Han, who had wanted to hit him with the paddle just now, did not do anything out of line.
First, Shouning introduced the princesses and princes. After Li Yi noted them down, he asked about the progress of her mathematics class.
The answer he got was that they were still at the stage of learning Arabic numerals. The mathematics teacher from before was teaching them how to convert Chinese numerals into Arabic numerals.
In other words, their mathematics was still at the most primitive stage.
There was no blackboard or chalk in this world. Most of the courses they had to learn were taught. However, it was impossible to understand mathematics with just one's mouth.
Fortunately, the mathematics teacher from before understood this. He stuck the white paper on the upright wooden board and wrote with a brush. It was similar to the blackboard of the future.
"Before we start teaching, let's do a test." Li Yi turned around and wrote on the white paper with a brush.
Thirty-six, four hundred and fifty-one, sixty-eight thousand eight hundred and thirty-two, eighty-nine thousand five hundred and sixty-three, seventy-five thousand four hundred and sixty-seven …
When the princes and princesses were still wondering what the test was, Li Yi said again, "Write these numbers on the paper with Arabic numerals …"
Li Yi looked at Li Han, who was looking around, and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Your Highness, come up and write …"
