“Among the three major stars, the sun is a star, only be able to revolve on its axis, not rotate around other stars. That’s why the earth we are located on rotates around the sun, because the earth has been revolving on its axis, so when the place we are located in faces the sun and the sun shines on the earth, the day comes. As the earth turns to the other side, where the sun can’t shine, the night comes.” Yang Ning simply wouldn’t look at the baffled Jiang Suiyun at the side but glanced at Xiaoyao sitting at the corner. Seeing Xiaoyao was looking at himself, listening intently, he put on a slight smile, and continued to explain, “The sun has always existed, always emitting light. It’s just we only have half a chance to see it every day.
“Of course the moon is also always revolving around the earth, so we also only have half a chance to see it every day,” Yang Ning said aloud, “So there is only one moon, whose shape is round and spherical. As for the square moon
Seeing Yang Ning all confident and casual, Jiang Suiyun felt mentally disturbed, but then he thought, it was undoubtedly like a fool’s dream to go to the sky with no wings.Of course, he knew people who practiced flying skill could fly. Three chi above the ground was no problem, but that was certainly not going up to the sky.Yang Ning followed the crowd into the Qionglin Residence for the lecture with a purpose to more or less learn something actually. Zhuo Qingyang was a contemporary great scholar. Yang Ning could see he was quite appreciative of his disciple Jiang Suiyun. Although Yang Ning didn’t like Jiang Suiyun, thinking that a famous master has no lame students, Jiang Suiyun should still have some real talent.After he came to this era and space, although he had gradually been used to it, he didn’t essentially integrate himself into it. Since there was the opportunity to come to this academy, where a talented people
Jiang Suiyun, surrounded by several young girls, talking and laughing, suddenly saw Zhuo Qingyang was inside the hexagonal pavilion, said something to Su Zixuan and others, and then quickly stepped over.Entering the pavilion, Jiang Suiyun first smiled and nodded at Yang Ning and a curious look showed on his face, as if he was wondering why these two were talking in the pavilion.“Master, forgive my shallow insights today.” Jiang Suiyun gave a deep bow to Zhuo Qingyang.Zhuo Qingyang sat down again, stroking his beard and said, remaining clam, “There is no shallow opinion. As I said, any doctrine can be let out in Qionglin Academy. I encourage diverse thinking.”“I would like to receive your teachings, sir.”“Suiyun, you have been nominated virtuous, and may be summoned by His Majesty at any time these days. Don’t move around in the Virtue Hall and just wait for His Majesty’s decree,” Zhuo Qingyang slowly said,
Yang Ning looked back, and surprisingly saw the pretty Xiao Yao standing right behind him. He said joyfully, “Xiao Yao, you’re here? I am looking for you.”Xiao Yao’s cheeks reddened slightly as she asked, “Your excellency, what were you looking for me for?” She obviously didn’t know that Yang Ning had already inherited the title of Marquis of Honor. But her addressing him like this made Yang Ning feel quite a bit affectionate.“Well...” Yang Ning slightly paused. It’s strange that he felt some disappointed seeing Xiao Yao wasn’t beside the pool. But now that he saw Xiao Yao and felt inexplicably happy. He failed to think of what to say. Luckily, he was swift in reaction. He said with a smile after only a pause, “I want to ask you when you have time, we can go to the flower market again. You know flowers well. Help me pick some then.”Xiao Yao was natural and graceful and smiled sweetly, which looked beautiful. She nodded, “All right.” A
It was cold. The faint sunshine of winter didn’t make people feel the slightest warm.It took quite a while for Yang Ning to come back to his senses. When he managed to see Su Zixuan, the group of people all had gone. Only Xiao Yao was sitting on the ground on a stone, arms around the knees, head down, gloomy.A gust of wind blew, Yang Ning, although wearing a thick brocade jacket, surprisingly felt a chill on his body.Yang Ning really couldn’t believe that such two women with such a huge contrast could be sisters, and it was even more impossible for him to believe that Xiao Yao, with her simple wearing and delicate figure, seeming likes only the daughter of an ordinary family, was the daughter of the Marquis of Martial Arts, Su Zhen.Who was the Marquis of Martial Arts?Although the Marquis of Martial Arts was at the bottom of the list of four marquises of the empire, Yang Ning had seen his mansion, which was
Yang Ning hadn’t entered the imperial palace but had seen a lot from media in his previous life.But only until he followed Eunuch Fan to enter the imperial city he found that he could only feel the momentum of some things by seeing it by himself and being personally placed in it. Without any doubts, the city was really the most brilliant pearl of the Chu Empire.Looked around, the halls were densely built, golden and glorious. The glazed yellow tiles were shone in people’s eyes under the daylight. It was difficult to see the full picture of the halls. Red walls and yellow tiles, painted buildings and carved beams, halls and towers, which scattered high and low, stacked one after another, are beyond count.The roads within the imperial city were incomparably smooth, and the roads were extremely wide. To Yang Ning’s eye, the widest among which even reached more than ten meters, and the smallest was still a few meters wide. The roads with
Yang Ning’s expression greatly changed. He got up, looked around, and hurriedly ran to the door, rushed to the outside and checked. It was silent all around with no trace of other people, even the young eunuch who had served tea just now was also gone. He then closed the door, turned back, and said angrily, “How dare you slander... me, a marquis? Do you know you are slandering? You are slandering me.”Xiao Guang instead was rather calm and by now had stood up straight.Last time Yang saw Xiao Guang, this young eunuch was in the time of distress, looking bad, but now his face slightly blushed, clear and handsome. His eyeballs moved, laughing, “You really don’t know me? Don’t forget I still owe you 500 taels of gold, you no longer want it?”Yang Ning thought, “Not to mention 500 taels of gold, I would want even 50 taels of old. But accepting your gold is to admit that I’m the fake Marquis of Honor.” What’s more, this young eunuch didn’t lo
Xiao Guang said, “Do you really want to see His Majesty?”“It’s not that I want to see him, but it’s that he wanted to see me,” Yang Ning said, “I didn’t even have lunch before I rushed over here. I was expecting to be rewarded with something. Now it seems I won’t even be able to have dinner.”“You wish His Majesty to reward you?” Xiao Guang laughed, “His Majesty won’t reward something indiscriminately, unless a great achievement has been made. Troubles can be made if he doesn’t put the shoe on the right foot.”Yang Ning waved his hand and said, “You don’t understand.”Xiao Guang said, “His Majesty has just ascended to the throne and attends to numerous tiring affairs every day. Since you got here in the palace, just wait patiently. Can’t you even wait for His Majesty?”“That’s not true,” Yang Ning said, “But it’s not good to take it too far. His Majesty has just ascended to the throne. He may want to take time
Longtai was silent for a while before he said, “Mother, Father hasn’t long passed away. Isn’t it too hasty to establish the empress at this time?”He spoke in a rather respectful tone, but Yang Ning felt that every word spoken by this young emperor seemed to have been well thought out and answered appropriately.Although it wasn’t something harsh, there was his insistence within his words. Longtai’s question seemed to get the Empress Dowager. Yang Ning thought he once had heard that the ancients followed filial piety and should observe mourning for their deceased parent for three years. He wondered if the rule also applied to this era. If there really was such a rule, he wondered if the emperor should obey it too.It didn’t take long before the Empress Dowager said, “The late emperor passed away. Your stabilizing the country and society is the greatest filial piety to the late emperor. If the establishment of the empress i
