Empress Ming, Empress Xiaochunxian, of the Gu'erjia clan, from the Manchu Plain White Banner, younger brother is Grand Scholar Gu'erjia Jiahuan. When Shizong Yongzheng was a prince, she gav...
"Hmm!" Fourth Prince responded, then gestured for Hongtao to take Fifth Prince Hongjing over first. As he slowly stood up, he said to Jiaming, "Guarjia clan, you can't tempt Hongjing with gold ingots to study. He's studying for himself, and he's already greedy. Trying to tempt him with money is... you're..."
“Master!” Jiaming knew that Fourth Master was a chatterbox, and was afraid that if he kept talking, the food would get cold before he finished speaking, so she quickly interrupted him, “Master, the child is still young and doesn’t understand the principles he should learn for himself. I believe you will let him know in the future.”
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master pondered, and realized that made sense. "But..."
"My lord, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Jiaming quickly interrupted the Fourth Prince, took a breath, and immediately continued, "I know he's always been greedy for money, it's like he was born that way, and I don't think he can change it. So, the only thing I can teach him is not to make ill-gotten gains, and to spend money where it's necessary, etc. I think you'll teach him these things too. Oh, by the way, those gold ingots I give him are his legitimate income. If he learns well, I, as his mother, will reward him, just like you reward Hongxuan with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones."
Fourth Master: "..." He really wanted to say how come they're the same? One is a yellow and white object, and the other is an elegant object.
When Jiaming saw the disapproving look in Fourth Master's eyes, she immediately understood his thoughts and hurriedly said, "They are all the same, they are all things that children like. Of course, the only difference is that the two children like different things. Hongxuan likes and appreciates good writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, while Hongjing likes yellow and white things."
Fourth Master remained silent, seemingly agreeing with the idea. As he thought this, he glanced at Jiaming.
Jiaming quickly smiled at the Fourth Master, then hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "Master, let's eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
