In the ninth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhenzong planned to let each clan choose a child aged 6-10 to enter the palace, test them, and see how talented these clan children are, and then give the outstanding children official positions, so each The clans all chose a child to enter the palace, a total of 23 came, and the Nanqing Palace let Yiyi go to the palace. Zhenzong started from the basic ancient poems, hundreds of surnames, and thousands of characters, and then the filial piety, the way of Confucius and Mencius, etc., Of course, it became more and more difficult. In the end, there was only Yiyi, but he was also the youngest one. Yiyi answered Zhenzong's questions clearly and logically. Zhenzong was very surprised and very happy, so he asked "Yiyi, what are these things?" Did Teacher Nangongzhong teach you?"

Yiyi arched his little hands, "Going back to the emperor, part of it was taught by Teacher Nangong, and part of it was taught by my father"

"Oh? After the teacher has finished teaching, will your father still let you study?" Zhenzong asked

"Back to the emperor, my father often played with me, told me stories about ancient sages, and often told me to study hard, be kind to others, and share the worries of the emperor in the future," said Xiao Yiyi

Zhenzong pulled over and benefited, and stroked his head, "Okay, share my worries"

Zhenzong had a meal with more than 20 children, and then wrote four words on a piece of paper, folded it and asked Yiyi to take it back to Defang, "Yiyi, give this to your father"

Yiyi took the paper with both hands, put it in his arms and said "Yes, Your Majesty"

Yiyi and other children were sent outside the palace gate, and they were all picked up by the waiting attendants. Bobang hurried forward, "Your Highness, please get on the sedan chair."

Yiyi nodded "OK" and then walked into the sedan chair with small square steps. After returning to Nanqing Palace, Yiyi ran to find Defang. At this time, Defang was drinking tea with Concubine Di. After entering the door, Yiyi handed over "Father, Queen Mother"

Concubine Di was very happy to see Yiyi came back, she pulled him to sit on a chair, gave him a snack, and asked, "Yiyi, what did the emperor take today?"

"Ancient Poems, Hundred Surnames, Thousand Characters, Classics of Filial Piety, The Way of Confucius and Mencius" Yi Yi said while eating snacks

Defang looked at benefit, "Then you answered all the questions?"

"Return to Father, the children are all answered." Yi Yi took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Father, this is from the emperor"

"Oh?" Defang was very surprised. Why did His Majesty ask Yiyi to hand over a piece of paper, so she took the paper and opened it, and there were four words on it [Shouchun County King] Defang was surprised. Looking at Yiyi, Concubine Di saw Defang asked with an expression, "What did you write?"

Defang handed the note to Concubine Di, and Concubine Di saw four words "This is..."

"Your Majesty bestowed the title on you." Defang looked at Concubine Di. He knew that this matter would be announced tomorrow morning at the latest, and there would be another debate at that time. Defang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Concubine Di looked at Defang's expression and knew what he was thinking, so she said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. It seems that His Majesty has already made plans to benefit, otherwise he would not have made this arrangement."

Defang nodded, "Madam said yes, it should be so"

"My lord..." Concubine Di looked at De Fang, "Then how long can you stay in the palace?"

"Madame" Defang knew that Concubine Di was very reluctant to benefit, and that the child whom she had always loved as her own child would soon leave her and live in the inner courtyard of the palace.

"I can't bear it." Concubine Di hugged Yiyi, her eyes were a little red
