The Northern Qi dynasty, formerly known as the Northern Wei dynasty, dominated the north for nearly a thousand years.

The cultural heritage of the North far surpasses that of Nanjing.

Many scholars from the Southern Qing Dynasty were even willing to participate in the Northern Qi imperial examinations in order to gain fame.

If you achieve a good ranking in the Northern Qi imperial examinations, you will surely be given an important position upon returning to Southern Qing.

Nanqing's cultural inferiority complex has penetrated to the bone.

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Fan Jian felt a wave of despair wash over him.

"Your Highness, you might as well just order my execution!"

"Even if you were to kill me, I still couldn't write three good poems!"

Li Zhi said, "You must attend the banquet tomorrow night!"

"No matter what, you must contribute to these three poems!"

……

Liu Shuyan led Li Chang'an into the Fan family's gate.

As soon as she entered, she heard a servant reporting to Liu Ruyu.

"Madam, the master went to the palace this morning and hasn't returned yet."

Liu Ruyu looked apologetic and said to Liu Shuyan.

"Auntie, that's very rude of you."

Liu Shuyan said, "We apologize for our abrupt arrival and for any rudeness."

The Fan family was already a prominent clan, and Fan Jian was now at the height of his power.

The Fan residence is like a large garden, covering a considerable area.

After strolling around the Fan residence for a while, Li Chang'an met Fan Ruoruo.

The little girl was wearing a red jacket; she was exquisitely beautiful and very cute.

She was by a pond, watching the geese in the water.

Upon closer inspection, Fan Ruoruo appeared somewhat pale and thin.

Logically speaking, children from large families shouldn't lack nutrition.

Liu Ruyu called out from afar, "Ruo Ruo, your Uncle Chang'an has come to see you."

Strictly speaking, this title is inaccurate; it should be "uncle."

However, the relatives on both sides are too distant, so there's no need to take it so seriously.

"Chang... An, Uncle."

Fan Ruoruo looked at Li Chang'an with a smile, her bright eyes fixed on him for a long time.

Five-year-old Li Chang'an, dressed in brocade, looked elegant and handsome.

Such a young child, who doesn't know how to hide his feelings, was naturally stunned.

Judging from Fan Ruoruo's emotional value, she has a very good impression of Li Chang'an.

Name: Fan Ruoruo

Age: 1 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Excellent memory (rank 5), medical skills (rank 7), firearms skills (rank 8)

Abilities: None

Emotion: 50

Li Chang'an had seen more than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but none of them were particularly talented.

He has seen all sorts of talents.

This was the first time Li Chang'an had ever seen someone with such a remarkable memory.

Talent means an extraordinary level of skill.

For example, everyone socializes.

However, those who are talented in this area show it as a talent for socializing.

People with high social skills are the kind who are naturally sociable and outgoing, like Liu Ruyu.

Fan Ruoruo's extraordinary memory is her exceptional ability to remember.

The highest level of a gifted memory is Li Chang'an's photographic memory.

With this talent, Fan Ruoruo will achieve twice the results with half the effort no matter what she learns in the future.

Fan Ruoruo has a talent for firearms; her hands are exceptionally steady.

In fact, Fan Ruoruo's talent, looks, and abilities are designed to be those of a female lead.

However, she is the protagonist's sister, so the female lead can only be someone else.

Fan Ruoruo stretched out her pink little hand, "Uncle, hold my hand..."

Li Chang'an took the opportunity to pull the little girl along, thinking that a child couldn't possibly have any bad intentions.

Liu Ruyu was quite surprised by Fan Ruoruo's initiative.

"Ruoruo is much more lively today."

Li Chang'an asked, "Sister Ruyu, what did Ruoruo pick during her first birthday celebration?"

Liu Ruyu said with some pride, "Ruoruo has captured Zhuang Mohan's poetry collection!"

Li Chang'an asked curiously, "Huh? You didn't grab any rouge or face powder?"

The child, Li Chang'an, looked serious, showing no sign of joking.

Liu Ruyu couldn't help but laugh, "No!"

Just then, Fan Jian and Li Zhi walked over with worried expressions.

Several scholars followed behind him, all looking deep in thought.

Comparing oneself to the Northern Qi in poetry is no easy feat for any Nanqing native.

After exchanging greetings with Liu Shuyan, the two intended to hurry to the study.

After all, writing poetry takes time.

However, when Fan Jian turned his head, he saw Li Chang'an leading Fan Ruoruo and teasing the geese.

The old father's instincts made him feel a sense of crisis.

He walked over with a smile, "This humble official, Fan Jian, greets Your Highness the Third Prince."

Name: Fan Jian

Age: 28 years old

Realm: Peak of the Eighth Rank

Talents: Politics (7th rank), Poetry and Prose (4th rank)

Abilities: Politics (8th rank), Poetry and Prose (3rd rank), Calligraphy (3rd rank)

Favorability: 30

At this time, Fan Jian still retained her charm.

Fan Jian lacked talent for political maneuvering, but his political talent and ability were not weak.

He was able to help Emperor Qing train the Tiger Guards, which means he was a hidden master in himself.

Moreover, those who followed Ye Qingmei were basically all highly skilled in martial arts.

Emperor Qing is a Grandmaster, Chen Pingping is a Ninth Rank, and Fan Jian and Li Zhi are both at the peak of the Eighth Rank.

Li Chang'an said, "Lord Fan, you are too polite."

Fan Jian then reached out his hand to Fan Ruoruo, "Ruoruo, let Daddy give you a hug."

Fan Ruoruo shook her head firmly, her little mouth pouting.

"No, Father is dark... Uncle is white!"

"I want my uncle to lead me!"

Li Chang'an tightened his grip on Fan Ruoruo's hand.

Fan Jian almost broke out in a black line on his face.

His daughter, whom he kissed and hugged every day, actually rejected him!

Being rejected by his daughter was even more heartbreaking than being scolded by Emperor Qing.

Li Chang'an asked, "Lord Fan, I heard you're going to send Ruoruo to Danzhou?"

Fan Jian replied, "That is indeed the case. Ruoruo is in poor health, and my mother misses her."
