Chapter 256: Empress Dowager Chen Teaches Her Son

With a loud "bang", Empress Dowager Chen slammed the table.

"What kind of answer is this! If Ah Huang from this palace had taken this test, he would probably have done better than this!"

Empress Dowager Chen was so angry that she almost died. She couldn't believe that her youngest son was such a big idiot with such ridiculously poor grades.

Zhuge Jinyu silently picked up the article that Zijun mentioned in the letter, which made him lose face in front of the parents of all the students in the class and handed it over.

"Mother, calm down."

Empress Dowager Chen grabbed the test paper.

What catches your eye is a collection of crooked and shaky handwriting.

I squinted my eyes and tried to identify it for a while, but still couldn't recognize a single word.

She turned around and instructed her trusted maid to call the young eunuch who had been serving Zhuge Jinyi in his studies.

The young eunuch came over trembling with fear, and when he learned that he was asked to read the article written by the prince to the two masters, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he got the article, he realized that he had relaxed too early.

“Title: Record a meaningful event.”

"Football Notes."

"Football is so fun. You kick me and I kick you. You kick me and I kick you. You kick me and I kick you. You kick me and I kick you. I kick you... You kick me and I kick you. Football is so fun."

After finally finishing reading this article of "you kick me, I kick you", the young eunuch fell to his knees with a plop.

My Lord, you have caused me so much trouble!
Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Zhuge Jinyu kindly reminded, "The Imperial Master was also asked by the Master to read this article of my brother in front of the families of all the students in the class."

Empress Dowager Chen: ...

She didn't give up and looked through all the other homework and test papers. She just couldn't believe that her son wasn't good at any subject!
However, it turned out that her son was not good at any subject! He didn't pass any of the seven subjects!
I don't have any!

Empress Dowager Chen's hands were shaking and she rolled her eyes, about to fall backwards, but was quickly caught by two of her trusted palace maids, causing a huge chaos.

The moment she opened her eyes again, she grabbed Zhuge Jinyu's sleeve and said, "Ayu, send Aunt Liu to your brother! You must send Aunt Liu to your brother!"

If his wet nurse is not sent over there, Zhuge Jinyi will make a scene!
Chen Hanyi had been smart all her life, but she never expected to give birth to such a stupid son!
No! She would never allow it!
She would send Aunt Liu to keep a close eye on the boy's homework, and bring her token and board. If he didn't study hard, she would beat him! Beat him hard!

……

……

Zhuge Jinyi didn't know that his mother had sent his wet nurse with a board to supervise his studies.

Now he is gearing up to participate in the Olympic trials.

Relying on his good physical strength, he signed up for several events in a row, causing Zijun to scold him behind his back as "strong limbs but simple mind."

As soon as school was over in the afternoon, he did not go to play ball with his classmates, but went to train with the participating students.

There are a lot of contestants this year and the competition is very fierce. Everyone is trying their best to get a place in the finals.

When the trials finally came, Zhuge Jinyi got the places in the four events of "long-distance running", "short-distance running", "high jump" and "long jump" as he wished.

When he returned to the courtyard excitedly, he wanted to share the good news with Zijun as soon as possible.

As soon as I opened the door, I was hit on the head with a board.

He was about to get angry, but when he saw the man holding the board, his knees immediately went weak and he knelt down.

"Mother, Queen Mother...why are you here?"

Queen Mother Chen knocked the wooden table beside her with a stick, and pointed her bright red finger at the black-faced boy kneeling on the ground, "How dare you ask me!" "Seven subjects, a total score of 700 points, is there water in your brain? Even Ah Huang would not have scored more than 97 points if he took the exam!"

After she said that, Zhuge Jinyi was not convinced. Ah Huang was just a 9-year-old yellow dog. How could he compare to him, a young and good boy.

"Mother, no matter what I say, I am smarter than Ah Huang!"

When Empress Dowager Chen heard that he dared to talk back, she slammed the board on the table again, "You are talking nonsense! Ah Huang can't write something like 'You kick me and I kick you'!"

"Look at what you wrote! Huh?!"

"He doesn't know how to study hard after entering school, and just plays around all day long!"

"Are you sent to the academy so that you can kick me one at a time?"

Zhuge Jinyi hummed and muttered, "My education was paid for by the Imperial Master, not you."

Zijun stood aside with his hands behind his back, watching coldly as Empress Dowager Chen taught her son a lesson.

I kept complaining in my mind, "Why are you hitting the table? You're hitting people! The table didn't offend you!"

Hearing Zhuge Jinyi's muttering, Zijun smiled and said, "The Queen has already reimbursed me for your tuition. Strictly speaking, it is indeed the Queen who is supporting the prince's tuition."

Zhuge Jinyi: ...

I want to go back to school and live in the dormitory.

After teaching her son a lesson, Empress Dowager Chen began to order people to arrange all matters related to her stay in Taoyuan City.

Originally, the Queen Mother was not allowed to leave the palace at will, but who was she? The King's biological mother!
Disguised as a wealthy lady, Empress Dowager Chen travelled light and hurried to Taoyuan City without stopping.

Even at my age, I still have to travel a lot, all because I have a son who is a poor student.

He rented a three-story courtyard near Chaoxinyuan for 30 taels of silver per month.

The yard was originally prepared for Batian, but Batian, this mama's boy, refused to leave Chaoxinyuan.

Pan Yingying had no choice but to simply renovate the yard and rent it out.

At the strong request of Empress Dowager Chen, Zijun moved out of the small courtyard and moved into the large courtyard with three entrances.

After dinner, looking at the homework that Zhuge Jinyi had brought back, Empress Dowager Chen almost rolled her eyes and fainted again.

She turned her head and glared at Zijun, "Didn't you say that there was a top-ranked female student in the class tutoring him? How come his homework is still so bad?"

Zi Jun folded his arms and returned to his former sage appearance.

"Recently all the students have been busy with the selection for the sports meet, and that girl hasn't made time yet."

Queen Mother Chen was choked to death by his words. She turned around and twisted Zhuge Jinyi's ear.

"Go! I'll watch you write! If you don't write well, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Zhuge Jinyi: ...

Help! When will his mother return to the palace? He can’t stand it anymore!
When Queen Mother Chen arrived, Zijun was finally relieved. He never wanted to take care of other people's children again in his life!
After just watching Zhuge Jinyi's studies for a while, he clearly felt that he had aged a lot.

Poor students really harm people!

Infinite Heavenly Lord.

Fortunately, this brat has changed his target now. From now on, I will let him harm his mother and let me, an old widower, go.

A few days before the sports meet, Zhuge Jinyi felt like he was living in dire straits.

His mother really gave him the "head hanging from the beam, thigh pierced by a needle" treatment.
