Qi Qi slept for about an hour, and when he woke up, the Ninth Prince was still asleep.

I feel like I can sleep even more than you.

Qi Qi went out to get a drink of water, and Eunuch Deshun came over and handed Qi Qi a waist token: "I've already gone to the Imperial Household Department for you. Here's your waist token, and a few sets of clothes have been placed on your bed. Remember to change into them."

The waist tag was more exquisitely made than the wooden tags worn by ordinary eunuchs. It was smooth to the touch and read "Qi Laibao, Third-Class Eunuch of Fengyi Palace".

Qi Qi: "Thank you, Grandpa Deshun!"

He immediately ran to his small room, where three sets of summer clothes were already laid out on the bed. Qi Qi changed into them. He wore the inner garment he had brought himself, which was light, breathable, and made of cool, smooth fabric. The outer garment was the signature color of Fengyi Palace, still gray-blue, except that the collar and sleeves, as well as the corners of the outer robe, were embroidered with the unique patterns of Fengyi Palace, indicating that he was a young eunuch of Fengyi Palace.

The clothes fit perfectly, and Qi Qi thanked him again before returning to the Ninth Prince's study.

It's not that I miss him, it's just that the servants can't use ice, but they can use the master's...

The Ninth Prince yawned and got out of bed, his face still showing a hint of satisfaction from a good night's sleep.

He didn't know why, but whenever he was with Qi Laibao, he always felt calm and peaceful, and when he was calm, he wanted to sleep. It was a very comfortable feeling.

Qi Qi fed the Ninth Prince dinner as usual. Even though he was full, the Ninth Prince only ate a little bit, which made Qi Qi realize that the child's body was really not good... Then he happily ate his own meal.

Because the Ninth Prince gave the leftover food to Qi Qi.

Although it was leftovers, the Ninth Prince and the Empress had servants to serve them, so their chopsticks didn't even touch it. Besides, they had small appetites, so there were a lot of leftovers.

The Queen and the princes received generous portions, and the dishes were excellent in both quality and taste.

Aside from not having Xiaopingzi or Xiaoanzi to help with chores, the standard of living doesn't seem to be much different. Qiqi is small and can't do much work, so someone else does the laundry, cooking, and cleaning.

In ancient times, breakfast was eaten early. After breakfast, Qi Qi only had to follow the Ninth Prince, pouring him water and grinding ink while he read. He didn't grind it well and even smeared ink on his own face. After the Ninth Prince finished laughing at him, he asked Xiao Fuzi to grind the ink.

After finishing the book, Qi Qi practiced calligraphy and washed the brush. However, he was a bit clumsy, so he let Xiao Xizi do it.

There was no need for paper or anything. Since Qi Qi couldn't find anything to do, he found a fan and fanned the Ninth Prince, making the Ninth Prince's hair fly... Because Qi Qi was also hot, he fanned himself slightly and unconsciously fanned faster.

The Ninth Prince couldn't open his eyes, so he told Qi Qi to get out of the way and slap him.

Qi Qi fanned himself for a while, but his legs went a little numb. He asked the Ninth Prince if he could sit down for a while, but the Ninth Prince told Qi Qi to go sit to the side.

Qi Qi was bored while sitting, so he picked up a book from the Ninth Prince's bookshelf and picked it up. It happened to be an ancient educational book.

I don't know which scholar wrote it, but the gist of it is that "spare the rod and spoil the child," and that children's education is an urgent matter that must be addressed from a young age. When faced with a child who is opposed to his father, one should not be lenient but should be disciplined.

Of course, it wasn't written that way, but Qi Qi swore, based on his nine years of compulsory education reading comprehension from his previous life, that this was exactly what the author meant.

It made him want to laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

The Ninth Prince suddenly spoke up.

Qi Qi scratched his head, thinking to himself but not saying it out loud.

Qi Qi's expression was too easy to read. The Ninth Prince said, "What are you doing, standing there sneering all by yourself?"

Qi Qi then said, "I think this book is wrong."

"Let me see it."

It was a book that was gathering dust and lying at the bottom of the bookshelf, called "The First Book of Parenting Tips".

Qi Qi couldn't even imagine how many more volumes of this book there would be.

After glancing at the passages he had mentioned, the Ninth Prince asked, "You can read? Is there something wrong with this?"

I thought he was looking at picture books there.

Qi Qi said, "I feel that this sentence is indeed wrong. The author said that if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault. So why should the father severely correct the child when he makes a mistake, instead of just hitting the child, and not reflecting on his own actions?"

Ninth Prince: "..."

"However, what he said is quite right: a gentleman who is not dignified will not command respect."

"A gentleman who doesn't fight hard will lose his authority."

The Ninth Prince's lips twitched violently, wanting to laugh but unable to: "Who told you that the Analects is interpreted from here? Have you even read any books?"

Qi Qi proudly puffed out his little chest: "I've read it!"

Long Qi has read it, and that's how he understands it. It has to be said that some of the ancient people's ideas are not ancient at all, and they are quite refreshing for Qi Qi, giving him a lot of inspiration!

Have you read it?

The Ninth Prince didn't believe it. He said that his poor academic performance was due to his lack of interest or motivation to study, not his lack of intelligence. He casually picked out one of the Four Books and Five Classics that he had read before.

The Analects

The Ninth Prince said, "Then I'll test you."

I casually turned to a page: "I ask you, do you know what 'winning people over with virtue' means?"

After a moment's thought, Qi Qi had the answer and said confidently, "I know! It's because Confucius's sword was named Virtue. If anyone disagreed with him, he would use the sword of Virtue to subdue them!"

The Ninth Prince paused, then said, "Then let me ask you again, do you know what the Master meant by 'The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits'?"

Qi Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "Confucius didn't say a word, but used his superhuman strength to knock the enemy unconscious!"

The Ninth Prince's breathing became slightly erratic: "What do you mean by 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening'?"

Qi Qi: "I found out the way to your house this morning, you're going to die tonight!"

What does "education for all" mean?

"I don't care who you are when I teach you how to be a person!"
