Chapter 1243 ?? This is someone else's princess!
"I'm sorry, Princess Nisha, I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to have a blessing of Jinan..."
The person who spoke fluently and said fluently was Princess Zebu Nisha. The real person of this Indian princess looks much more beautiful than the portrait she gave to Zhu Cixuan.
The princess has a good figure, tall and slender, graceful and white skin, and looks like an Indian at all (she is not an Indian at all). Her facial features are very three-dimensional and delicate, her nose is straight, her cherry lips are dotted, her eyebrows are curved, and her eyes look bigger than the one in the portrait, very deep. The only disadvantage is that her forehead is a bit big... Zhu Cixuan, who has studied hard in Yingtianfu Imperial Academy for four years, has seen many such foreheads - this is the forehead of the top student!
Moreover, this princess's learning ability is indeed worthy of her forehead!
Three months ago, when the princess met Zhu Ciqing for the first time, she still spoke in Shanxi accents with "um". It's only been so long, and she was already very fluent in Yingtian Mandarin, without the smell of Shanxi old vinegar at all.
In addition to the fact that Yingtian said it was absent from the official words, the princess' reading ability has also improved by leaps and bounds. She can recognize thousands of Chinese characters and her grammar is also very well understood. She can read a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and can also read "Zi Lun Jingwu Chapter" and "Confucian Classic"!
Thinking of "Zi Lun" and Zhu Cixuan admired her future sister-in-law even more. Although she didn't understand the original version of "Zi Lun" and could already understand the Arabic version of "Zi Lun" and could also interpret one-quarter of the sentences, and the interpretation was basically accurate.
Of course, her interpretation is not original, but quotes a large number of Arabic versions of Western philosophical works. These Arabic Western philosophical works are the fruits of the early 100-year translation movement of Tianfang Buddhism!
What made Zhu Cixuan even more amazed was that His Royal Highness, this princess, loved collecting books and researching knowledge very much. She spent most of her annuity on collecting books and hiring scholars to study, copy and translate these books.
In her own mansion, there is probably the largest private library in India, which contains a large collection of books on philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, literature, law, theology and history. The books passed down from the century-old translation movement that have long been forgotten elsewhere can be found in her library! If all the books she owns can be brought back to the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be of great help to study "Su'an Juewu Pian"!
The princess who was practicing the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty in front of Zhu Cilang's portrait heard the footsteps coming from behind, stood up, turned around, and saw her "tutoring teacher" Zhu Cilang.
Princess Nisha and Zhu Ciqing are about the same age. Both are scholars and are proficient in mathematics and philosophy, so they have many common languages and are very good at talking about them...
"Your Highness, Your Highness," the princess gave Zhu Cixuan a very standard blessing, and then asked with a smile, "Have I passed my math exam?"
Zhu Cixuan came to deliver math test papers to Huang Xie—a total of 108 geometry questions were all difficult questions that Zhu Cixuan had dug into his mind. According to Zhu Cixuan's requirements, if he answered the wrong question, he would not be able to pass it!
But unfortunately, Princess Nisha answered all the questions correctly, and was well organized and logically...
"I passed, I've answered all 108 questions correctly!" Zhu Ciqing smiled a little unnaturally.
"So how did I do in Arabic and Persian?" the princess asked again with a smile.
"Very good...imperfect!" Zhu Cixuan didn't know what was going on, but he didn't really want this princess to pass the exam.
But Princess Nisha is remembered in history as a poet who wrote in Arabic and Persian. How could she not pass the Arabic and Persian exams?
Four exam subjects, two full marks have been obtained... There are two more subjects, martial arts and Chinese.
There is nothing to say about martial arts. Zhu Cixuan has seen it. Nisha cannot achieve the level of a general, but she is definitely first-class in the harem. Zhu Cixuan asked the concubines to practice martial arts, mainly for two purposes. One is to allow them to strengthen their bodies. There are no wise medicines these days. If you want to prolong your life, you have to exercise!
The second is to allow them to teach their children to practice martial arts and exercise, and to have a good health from a young age, so that they can do great things for the Zhuming Dynasty in the future!
Princess Nisha has a good foundation and has received personal guidance from the famous teacher Aurangzebu, and she will definitely pass the exam... Moreover, Zhu Cixuan is not responsible for the princess' martial arts exam, but is the "eunuch who overcomes difficulties" who followed Zhu Cixuan to India.
Now there is only one Chinese language left that can make things difficult for others.
Princess Nisha's Chinese proficiency is better than Zhu Ciying imagined - those two Shanxi people were quite responsible. Apart from teaching a jealous Shanxi dialect, everything else is good. Princess Nisha studied with the "widow palace maid" brought by Zhu Ciying and Zhu Ciying for three months, and her accent changed almost all the time, and her oral proficiency improved by leaps and bounds. She could only write calligraphy with a brush, but she could write Chinese characters with a quill pen, and she wrote it neatly...
This is someone else's princess!
Thinking of this, the landlord Zhu Ciqing had to smile slightly and said to Princess Nisha: "Your Highness, I have brought the Chinese test paper... The emperor's requirements are just rough understanding, so it is relatively easy to pass."
Princess Nisha smiled, "Prince, please rest assured, I will definitely pass it, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty!"
Zhu Cixuan sighed again in his heart - His princess has never seen Zhu Cixuan's real person before, but he is already devoted to it. The more difficult he is in the exam, the more excited he becomes. It seems that he is determined to overcome all difficulties and send himself to Emperor Zhu's bed!
It seems that Nisha is someone else's princess...
The landlord had no choice but to laugh: "Princess, then let's start the exam..."
......
"Hmph, it's really unheard of to take a concubine and take the exam... He's not afraid of interfering in politics in the harem!"
"Your Highness the Grand Prince, I heard that Emperor Zhu was in the exam and chose a concubine to facilitate the harem to interfere in politics!"
"There is still this? Isn't this a fool?"
"It's not all because of dumbness, but because of statistics..."
"What?"
"Statistics... are to summarize calculations and find out the rules. It is said that since Zhu Ming, the ancestor Zhu Di, many of them have become kings. These young kings have grown up in deep palaces, have shallow experiences and do not know the affairs of the world, so they can only rely on others to hold power. They are mothers, eunuchs, or ministers. Zhu Cilang probably felt that eunuchs and ministers were not reliable, and they still had to rely on mothers."
"Hmph, just with this, my Dashun is a hundred times better than the Zhu family! I'm 26 this year, and I'm still the grandson..."
While watching the ship loading at the Paladdup Pier in Odisha Province, he was talking about the Grand Prince Li Jicheng and the military advisor Song Yaowen of Li Jicheng, the grandson of Dashun.
Speaking of being the grandson at the age of 26, Li Jicheng couldn't help but sigh.
If the prince still has a little hope, this grandson is really anxious! When will it be the turn to be the emperor?
"Don't be anxious," Song Yaowen lowered his voice, "The emperor fell ill at the end of last year. I heard that he was very thin and always thirsty. He had already seen the doctor, saying it was diabetes...it was not cured!"
It turns out that Li has diabetes - it seems that eating too much Roujiamo is not good!
Li Jicheng sighed again: "It's not the time for Grandpa to fall ill! Aurangzebu's army is coming, but he is terminally ill. He is a virtuous grandson, so he must go back to Wuhua Mountain."
"Don't worry," Song Yaowen said, "Gao Yidao is the last general of Shunchao. The newly built bastion of Paladdup is as solid as a soup and can be kept. With this stronghold, we will be able to come again next year and we can get a big vote!"
