Chapter 212: Happy

Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by others if this gets out!

According to the rules and regulations formulated by the royal family of Qing Kingdom, the princes' enlightenment education began at the age of six and ended when they reached adulthood and were canonized as princes.

But Li Yuanjing was different. He had no interest in studying since he was a child, but he liked fighting and killing very much. He started learning archery at the age of three, and later began to learn to ride a pony. When he was a teenager, he joined the army and lived and ate with a group of soldiers. He had planned to be a conquering prince all his life, but unexpectedly he ascended the throne to become emperor halfway through.

Now, looking at his two three-year-old sons, he vaguely saw his childhood self, and a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up in his heart.

"You're pulling the bow with the wrong amount of force," Li Yuanjing reminded.

The children's bow and arrow in Shen Wei's hand went astray.

She blushed and argued, "My archery posture is definitely correct. It's just that I don't have enough strength."

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What strength does it take for a young child to shoot a bow and arrow?"

Shen Wei said nothing and put the children's bow and arrow on the stone table, looking like she was going to do it if she could.

Li Yuanjing picked up the child's bow and arrow on the table. With just a flick of his hand, he drew the bow and pulled the arrow out. With almost no effort, the small wooden arrow accurately pierced the straw target.

Hit the target.

Shen Wei looked dazed.

Li Chengyou's eyes widened and his fat face was full of astonishment. He ran to the target with his chubby legs and found that the small wooden arrow had perfectly pierced the center of the red bull's eye!

"Father is so awesome!" Li Chengyou felt an irrepressible admiration in his heart. He ran back, raised his little neck and looked at Li Yuanjing eagerly.

Li Chengyou tugged at Li Yuanjing's clothes and said in a coquettish tone, "Father, can you teach me? I want to learn! I really want to learn!"

Li Chengtai, who was watching quietly at the side, also frowned, looked at the target, and then at his tall and majestic father.

He pursed his lips slightly and took the initiative to walk over: "Father, Chengtai also wants to learn."

Li Chengtai wanted to learn all the skills of his father.

Become a person like his father, surpass his father, so that no one will dare to bully his mother, sister and brother.

Looking at his two sons on his left and right, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Among Li Yuanjing's sons, the others trembled in fear when they saw him, just like mice seeing a cat. Only Shen Wei's son was the bravest and most considerate, daring to act coquettishly to him and taking the initiative to learn from him.

Li Yuanjing was very satisfied.

The son of an emperor must never be timid and cowardly.

"Okay, father will teach you." Today's state affairs have been dealt with, and Li Yuanjing has plenty of time. He personally taught his two sons how to draw the bow, adjust the shooting posture, and draw the bow and arrow.

Lee Seung-tae and Lee Seung-woo studied very hard.

Chen Wei was drinking elegant scented tea, eating delicious shortbread, and watching the father and his two sons practicing archery leisurely.

Fathers must never be absent from family education. Shen Wei must let Li Yuanjing participate in the child's growth and education to bring the father and son closer.

After practicing for half an hour, both children's archery skills improved slightly. A strong sense of accomplishment surged in Li Yuanjing's chest, and he turned his gaze and caught a glimpse of Shen Wei drinking tea not far away.

Li Yuanjing said: "Don't just stand there, come and learn too."

Shen Wei added a spoonful of honey to the teacup and stirred it with a small porcelain spoon. She didn't want to move and praised Li Yuanjing hypocritically: "The emperor is brave and powerful. I am a woman in a family. I don't go out of the main door or the second door. I can just embroider and drink tea. There is no point in learning archery."

Li Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "You are lazy."

Chen Wei replied confidently: "If I don't learn, my arms will get sore from pulling the bow. Leyou is still playing in the water. I'll go check it out first."

Shen Wei handed the brewed honey tea to Li Yuanjing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then ran away.

Li Yuanjing smiled and shook his head. All the concubines in the palace were obedient to him.

Only Shen Wei would occasionally act like a spoiled brat and throw a tantrum in front of him. In the harem full of flowers, she is always so eye-catching and outstanding, charming and attracting people.

"Don't be like your mother, who fishes for three days and rests for two days." Li Yuanjing walked to his son and bent down to adjust Li Chengyou's bow posture.

Li Chengyou has always admired his father and nodded vigorously: "I know! I will practice archery well and become as good as my father!"

Li Chengtai next to him also began to practice silently, his little face fully focused. He pulled the small wooden bow and the wooden arrow flew towards the target.

...

It was getting dark and the Yongning Palace was bustling with activity.

The carefully prepared dinner was served. Leyou and her friends caught a few fish, and Shen Wei asked the small kitchen to make a pot of fragrant fish soup, as well as sweet and sour fish and fish soup.

The dinner table was very lively.

Li Yao, Li Nanzhi, Li Wan'er, Le You and Cheng Tai Chengyou sat around the rosewood dining table. The palace maid carefully picked out the fish bones, crushed the fish meat into small pieces, and distributed them to the young masters to eat.

Shen Wei also gave the big pumpkin sent by the Queen Mother to the cook to deal with. The cook cuts the big pumpkin into small pieces, puts red dates, honey, wolfberry, fermented glutinous rice and starch in it, and steams it in a pot to make bowls of sweet and delicious steamed pumpkin with honey.

Li Yuanjing and Shen Wei sat at the head of the table. Li Yuanjing's aura was too strong. Li Yao, Li Nanzhi and Li Wan'er were very reserved at first, but then they gradually relaxed and began to eat dinner seriously.

The fish soup is delicious and the pumpkin is sweet, and the children love it.

Li Yuanjing looked at the fish soup on the table with a delicate mood.

As an emperor, he had drunk a lot of delicious fish soup since he was a child. But the fish soup on the table tonight was the most special, as it was made from fish caught by his daughter herself.

It is of extraordinary significance and unprecedented.

Li Yuanjing found the fish soup particularly delicious.

After dinner, the children were all very full. Le You said goodbye to Chen Wei and Li Yuanjing: "Father, Mother, Le You has to go back to the Empress Dowager. If you go too late, the fish soup will be cold."
