Song Wencan still feels puzzled. Without the Empress, would Xuanchao Kingdom really be divided up by Yan and Gui Kingdoms because of the princes' infighting, just as Master Qingfeng said?

However, upon reflection, this possibility does exist. After all, the six princes are backed by different factions, and since His Majesty began pursuing the art of immortality, he has no longer focused on governing the country, but only on maintaining balance.

If this continues indefinitely, and the six princes grow up, they might actually fight to the death for that position.

Now I only hope that, as Master Qingfeng said, my niece will be able to help Xuan Kingdom become strong and prosperous in the future.

Song Xia, who was still preparing her lessons, was unaware that Master Qingfeng was not someone her grandfather had prepared for her, but rather someone who had come to her on his own initiative. Moreover, he had long anticipated her ability to change the Xuan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, it's late, go to sleep."

"Hmm." Song Xia yawned. She had indeed been quite busy lately. Not only did she have to teach the princes, but she also had to deal with the strange questions from Consort Zhuang and Consort Li from time to time. Finally, the reorganization of the harem could not be stopped for a moment. She had to ensure that the entire harem was completely under her control.

The female official looked at the people in Fengyi Palace and realized that they had all been won over by the Empress without her noticing. Even though they were sent by various factions, the messages they sent out were all conscientiously reduced.

Moreover, even if they did tell, it seems the Empress doesn't have any secrets that can't be known. As for the correspondence with the Prime Minister's residence, who in the entire harem doesn't have dealings with their family? Everyone knows the truth.

I don't know if she's overthinking it, but it seems like Consort Shu and Consort Zhen are both leaning towards the Empress, even though everyone was acting independently before.

Some might think she was delusional, but she had a premonition that in the future, whether it was Consort Xian or Consort Zhuang and Consort Li, who were always at odds with the Empress, they would all turn against her. If there were any who couldn't see the situation clearly, they would only fall into a place of no return.

I'm really looking forward to it! What knowledge will Her Majesty the Empress impart tomorrow? Listening to Her Majesty the Empress's lectures these past few days, I realized that I was a frog in a well before. I didn't know that there were so many wonders in the world, and that science exists in every aspect of life.

Song Xia's classes were scheduled for the afternoon, a time when most people were dozing off. But the princes, concubines, and even the tutors in the Imperial Study were all full of energy and anticipation. Consort Zhuang and Consort Li even had paper and pen in front of them, afraid of missing anything.

Song Xia smiled. It seems everyone loves learning, so her time spent preparing lessons wasn't in vain.

"Today we're going to talk about the formation of various weather conditions, such as why thunder is accompanied by lightning, how snowflakes are formed in winter, and why winds blow from different directions in different seasons. Today we'll provide a simple explanation."

The Grand Tutor was focused on his studies. He had studied celestial phenomena since ancient times, and many ancient books contained answers to these questions, but they were also subject to much controversy. Could the Empress provide them with a clear answer?

Knowing everyone was curious, Song Xia began to explain slowly, and by referring to ancient texts, she provided reasonable explanations for each question raised.

The ladies-in-waiting and palace maids always say she's very busy, but she can't afford not to be. Although Xiao Ling has given her lessons, how can she be convincing if she doesn't consider the current situation of the dynasty? After all, there are some things she can't prove with experiments, which is why she stays up so late every day looking for evidence.

The expressions of the princes, concubines, and tutors proved that her efforts had not been in vain. In particular, the tutors, after experiencing her teaching methods, began to change themselves. The effects were ultimately seen in the princes, who became more active in their thinking and more courageous and lively in their personalities.

Now they no longer treat each other like enemies, and when they encounter problems they don't understand, they have learned to discuss them together.

Song Xia became increasingly satisfied with what she saw, so she began to target the princes. She not only reduced the number of palace servants by half, but also ordered that unless the princes were sick, the palace servants were not allowed to interfere with daily chores, such as eating, dressing, and washing their hands, and had to do them all herself.

Consort Zhuang was the first to express her dissatisfaction: "My son is a prince, it is only natural for him to be served by palace servants. Has the Empress gone too far in teaching him this?"

“Exactly.” Consort Li rarely stood beside her, and she was equally worried. “Autumn is coming soon, and those clothes and shoes are so bulky. How can the prince dress properly? If he catches a cold, can Your Majesty take that responsibility?”

Consort Zhuang said sarcastically, "Your Majesty, you have never given birth, so you don't understand our worries. The princes have been served since they were young, is it necessary to be so strict with them?"

"Let's not even talk about my third prince, but the fifth and sixth princes are still so young, what will happen to them?"

"There's no need for Consort Li to worry about that. I have complete confidence in the Fifth Prince," Consort Shu said with a smile, "He can understand Her Majesty the Empress's lessons, so I'm sure he can take good care of himself."

Consort Zhen had a sudden inspiration: "Although Her Majesty the Empress forbids palace servants from attending to her, she did not say that the princes cannot take care of each other."

Song Xia nodded to the two of them. This was exactly what she wanted to do. Relationships are built through interaction. Sometimes, conflicts and troubles don't create rifts in life; instead, they can make relationships better the more you spend time together.

She once read a book that said friends are meant to be bothered. If you don't bother your friends and you refuse their help, then the bond between you will weaken, you'll have almost no common topics, and eventually you'll lose contact and become "strangers" who only exist in your phone book.

These six princes were taken care of meticulously by the palace servants from a young age. They were bound to feel uncomfortable at first and there would definitely be problems. But it was precisely these problems that brought them closer together.

"Jin'er, are you confident that you can take good care of your younger brothers?"

Although the eldest prince Jiang Jin felt somewhat uneasy and worried, he still nodded: "Your subject will certainly do his best to take care of the five imperial brothers."

Song Xia then said to the Second Prince Jiang Ming, "Your Highness, you are already nine years old, only one year younger than the First Prince. You should be able to help your elder brother take care of your younger brothers, right?"

When asked this question, Jiang Ming's competitive spirit resurfaced, and he puffed out his chest and promised, "Your subject will definitely discipline your imperial brothers properly."

"I don't need your discipline," the Third Prince scoffed. "I can take care of myself."

The remaining fourth, fifth, and sixth princes looked at their three elder brothers with blank expressions, and then turned to their respective mothers. Although they didn't understand their mothers' intentions, they were really looking forward to no longer being controlled by those palace servants! Those palace servants were too annoying, watching how they ate and slept. As for what their elder brothers said, they didn't want to listen to them.

Consort Shu and Consort Li sighed, realizing they were about to witness some truly hilarious moments.
