Chapter 314 Admiration
The old eunuch brought Zhang Qingfeng to Wenyuan Pavilion, and arranged him in a small courtyard.
Several young eunuchs and maids of honor went to prepare books for Zhang Qingfeng according to the old eunuch's order.

For the next six months, Zhang Qing will stay in the small courtyard at Metropolitan Peak, where he will eat, drink, and sleep.

He only needs to read books here. After reading one book, someone will bring him a second one immediately, and he doesn't need to go to the library of Wenyuan Pavilion to get it.He only needs to spend half a year here to watch the entire Yongle Grand Ceremony.

"I'm ready, I decided to start with the Classics and History Collection." Zhang Qingfeng said to the old eunuch.

Hearing that Zhang Qingfeng wanted to start reading from the classics and history collections, the old eunuch immediately ordered the young eunuch to bring the books.

Soon, on the table in front of Zhang Qingfeng, there were nine piles of sub-volume books of the Yongle Canon, a subset of classics and history.

Zhang Qingfeng started to read from the beginning. He picked up a book, hooked it to a page, read it for two seconds, and immediately turned another page.

In this way, Zhang Qingfeng read almost at the speed of turning a page every two seconds.

"Zhou Qingfeng, can you understand by flipping through books like this?" Just as Zhang Qingfeng finished flipping through one book and picked up another, the old eunuch finally couldn't help asking.

"Elder-in-law, don't worry, I've read it all and remembered it." Zhang Qingfeng explained.

"That's right! Then I'll test you." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the old eunuch took the book Zhang Qingfeng had just finished and opened it.

"You memorize the first page and I'll listen." The old eunuch said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"This..." Zhang Qingfeng just hesitated for a moment, and then began to recite from the first page.

While Zhang Qingfeng was reciting, the old eunuch was also turning the pages of the book.

A few minutes later, when Zhang Qingfeng had memorized several pages, the old eunuch raised his hand to stop him.

"Very good, it seems that you have memorized everything, very powerful." The old eunuch gave Zhang Qingfeng a thumbs up and said.

He had to admire that Zhang Qingfeng read as fast as turning the pages of a book, so that he could remember all the contents of the book, which is amazing.

"Go on, I'll go back first, and ask them to help you if you have anything to do." The old eunuch said to Zhang Qingfeng, and then said to several young eunuchs and maids: "You must try your best to meet Zhou Qingfeng's requirements. Find me if you can't."

After giving orders, the old eunuch left Wenyuan Pavilion.

For the next time, Zhang Qingfeng lived in Wenyuan Pavilion.

During the day, he would use the natural light to read, and at night, a court lady would prepare a lamp for him so that he could read at night.

Zhang Qingfeng began to remember the Yongle Grand Ceremony in Wenyuan Pavilion, but outside, the attention paid to him was very high.

Many people want to know whether the child prodigy in the palace can memorize all the contents of the Yongle Grand Ceremony within half a year.

Among those who were curious about this, Emperor Wanli was one of them.

"How is Zhou Qingfeng?" Emperor Wanli asked the old eunuch beside him.

"Back to Lord Long Live, Zhou Qingfeng has already made arrangements. At that time, I saw Zhou Qingfeng reading books as if he was flipping through books, and thought he was just flipping through them casually. After taking the school exam, he found that he was not flipping through books casually, but really I remember everything."

In the end, the old eunuch said: "The minister is so old, and he has never been so convinced to anyone in terms of memory. Zhou Qingfeng is really amazing."

"Is Zhou Qingfeng really that powerful? I'll go and see in a few days." Emperor Wanli said.

In the Yikun Palace.

My concubine called two eunuchs, Pang Bao and Wang Bin, in front of her.

"Is Qingfeng Zhou one of your subordinates?" Concubine Zhen asked the two of them.

It was only these two days before she found out that the famous child prodigy in the inner academy was actually a member of her eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Qingfeng was just a little servant boy before, and he couldn't get into your Majesty's eyes, so I didn't tell your Majesty the young one." Pang Bao explained to Concubine Zheng.

The reason why he didn't tell Concubine Zheng was actually selfish.

In this short period of time, he made a lot of money in the palace, no less than tens of thousands of taels, almost all of which was earned from selling soap.

The reason why he didn't tell Concubine Zheng about Zhang Qingfeng was because he was afraid that if the two had contact, Concubine Zheng would know that the soap was made by Zhang Qingfeng.

If Concubine Zheng knew that the soap was made by Zhang Qingfeng, then he would not be able to keep all the money earned from the soap.

However, what he never expected was that Zhang Qingfeng would make such a big commotion in the inner study hall.

Many people knew that Zhang Qingfeng was recommended by Pang Bao to enter the inner academy, and now, even Concubine Zheng knew.

"I didn't mean to blame you." Concubine Zheng said to Pang Bao: "I heard that you recommended Zhou Qingfeng to study in the inner school. That's very good. Zhou Qingfeng is a talent, we must train him well."

Hearing that Concubine Zheng did not blame her, Pang Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

He assured Concubine Zheng: "What the empress said is that Zhou Qingfeng will be trained more in the future."

"Your name is Wang Bin, right?" Concubine Zheng looked at Eunuch Wang.

"Back to Madam, the villain is Wang Bin." The eunuch Wang quickly replied respectfully to Concubine Zheng.

"You are very good. You have found me a good seedling. You are working in Jingyang Palace, right? How about this, I will ask someone to give you a real job in the 24 Yamen some other day." Concubine Zheng said to the eunuch Wang.

Hearing Concubine Zheng's words, Eunuch Wang was overjoyed. It would be great to be able to do a certain job in the yamen. If he did, he would become an eunuch.

However, in a flash, he realized that he had something to do with Concubine Gong.

In the end, he could only say to Concubine Zheng: "Thank you for your kindness, but the younger one is still willing to do things for the empress, and the younger one should continue to stay in Jingyang Palace to help the empress look after Concubine Gong."

"Are you serious?" Concubine Zheng asked the eunuch in surprise.

"Yes, what the little one said is sincere." Eunuch Wang said to Concubine Zheng loyally.

"Very good, I remember you. In this case, you should stay in Jingyang Palace for two years first, and I will promote you after two years." Concubine Zheng said.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." Eunuch Wang hurriedly thanked Concubine Zheng.

Being able to be remembered by Concubine Zheng, he will not have to worry about his future in the future, and it is natural to be happy.

Time passed, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Regarding Zhou Qingfeng's challenge to the Yongle Grand Ceremony, everyone is waiting and watching.

However, as Zhang Qingfeng's challenge continued, many people felt admiration for Zhang Qingfeng.

During this month, Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zhen came together twice, and Zhang Qingfeng passed the school exams twice, Zhang Qingfeng easily passed.

Even the empress dowager and queen came here out of curiosity after hearing about Zhang Qingfeng.

In addition, many eunuchs in the palace, as well as some civil servants in the cabinet, also came several times out of curiosity.

No matter who it is, as long as they see Zhang Qingfeng's way of reading a book like turning the pages of a book, they can only say admiration.
