This novel is also known as "I Relied on Cuteness to Diligently Repair the Precarious Relationship Between My Mother and My Brother, and My Brother and My Younger Brother".
"Congr...
The so-called "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" means that the brothers with different personalities and talents were finally taught separately. The teaching model that Li Guangdi initially formulated for each person was different.
Yinqi and Yinsi, who were at the same progress as Yinzuo, felt it most deeply. Although they were learning from the same book, Yinzuo could recite it fluently after reading it only once, while the other two could hardly read fluently. Yinsi was a little better, and if he put in some effort, he could make great progress. However, Yinqi's foundation was so poor that he couldn't even speak Chinese fluently.
After finally making it to the end of the get out of class, we all gathered together for lunch.
Yinqi poked the rice in his bowl dejectedly and said, "Xiao Liu, I thought that with you two here, I would be able to learn more easily. After all, I have studied for a year. Who knew that you two are so capable, especially you, Xiao Liu. Do you want to leave a way out for others? Judging from your attitude, it won't be long before you can compete with Third Brother and the others."
The third brother Yinzhi was unhappy.
"Go away, what are you talking about? I've studied for several years, and it's fine if you don't live up to your expectations, but do you think I'm you? This morning, you even asked Xiaoliu to give you some tips. You're a brother, don't you have any shame!"
The prince smiled at Yinzuo and said, "Although Xiaoliu has just entered the upper study, he was taught by me and Laosi when he was young. He has a good memory and knows many words and has read many books. Laowu, there is no need for you to compare yourself with Xiaoliu."
The eldest prince glanced at the prince and snorted, "I didn't know the prince had started to win over others so early. No wonder, while Soetu was trying to win over the court officials, the prince was keeping a close eye on his brothers. What a good plan."
The prince was not angry. Instead, he chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and spoke to him calmly.
"Brother, please be careful with your words. For now, let's not talk about whether Soetu really tried to win over the court officials. On the contrary, I have heard that Mingzhu, who has always supported you, has been given gold and silver by officials in other places.
As for me, we are all brothers. As an elder brother teaching a younger brother, how can I say that I am trying to win him over? Could it be that the elder brother is resentful of his younger brothers for being so close to me?"
Yinzuo saw that the tension between his elder brother and the crown prince was growing stronger, so he quickly stood up and made some jokes to ease the atmosphere.
"Crown Prince and Big Brother are both good brothers to all of us! Crown Prince taught me how to read and write, Big Brother can teach me how to ride a horse and shoot an arrow. I heard that after a while, Xiao Ba and I will have to start practicing martial arts with Waian Da. I'm a little scared. I heard that practicing martial arts is hard and tiring, and Waian Da is fierce. Is that true?"
Yinzuo's pitiful trembling appearance successfully attracted everyone's attention.
The eldest prince was most proud of his riding, archery and martial arts. He immediately patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? We all practiced together. I will teach you two. Waian Da is worried that he can't take care of so many people!"
Yinzuo stared at the dishes on the prince's side, tilted his little head and said that he wanted to eat sweet and sour spare ribs. The prince pushed the whole plate in front of him lovingly, and the slight suspicion in his heart caused by the eldest prince's arrogance disappeared completely.
He was just a military man, but Xiaoliu was still closer to his brother the Crown Prince. After all, this little guy was a frequent visitor to his Yuqing Palace. He knew exactly what the prince liked to eat and what he liked to play. How could others know?
The eldest prince proudly showed off his martial arts, the crown prince was concentrating on feeding little six, and Yinzhen on the side gradually breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Yinzuo would become the fuse of the fight between his eldest brother and the crown prince. Fortunately, Yinzuo was smart.
After Yinzuo's interruption, the matter was finally resolved.
Shortly after lunch, and after listening to the teacher's explanation for a while, Yinzuo, Yinqi and Yinsi left school early. Of course, the other princes had to continue listening.
Yinqi put his arm on Yinzuo's shoulder and said to him with a smile: "Xiaoliu, you finally moved to the South Third Institute. What should we do when we go back?"
Yinsi looked at the two people in front of him who were arm in arm, pursed his lips, and quickened his pace to catch up with them.
"Sixth brother! Wait for me!"
Just as Yinzuo was about to say something, he heard Xiaoba's voice behind him. After Xiaoba caught up with him, he took his fifth brother's hand off his shoulder, then took Xiaoba's hand and put the two hands together.
"That's great. You two can go back and play together. I have something else to do and need to go back to Chengqian Palace."
Yinsi almost couldn't help but pull his hand back. He didn't want to play with his fifth brother. If his sixth brother wasn't there, he might as well go back and read more books. After all, his sixth brother was so smart. How could he catch up with him if he didn't work hard? He also wanted to keep attending classes with his sixth brother.
"Ah? You want to go back to Chengqian Palace? Well, Xiaoba, let's go." Yinqi didn't insist too much. After all, Xiaoliu would always have time to accompany him in the future, so business was more important.
"Then you guys enjoy yourself. I'll be leaving first! See you tomorrow!" After saying that, Yinzuo got on the sedan chair, leaving only a handsome back view to the two of them.
Inside Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Concubine was sitting in the corridor, holding a scroll of poetry in her hands, but her eyes were not on the book. Instead, they were wandering and unfocused.
"Royal mother~"
The Imperial Concubine murmured to herself, "I am hallucinating again... It's fake, all fake."
"Royal mother!"
This sound was slightly louder than the previous one. The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment, and before she could turn around, she saw a little guy suddenly climbing up from behind.
"My dear mother, Xiaoliu just called you, why didn't you answer me?"
The Imperial Noble Consort turned her head and looked in surprise at Yinzuo who was lying on her back with his head resting on her shoulder.
"Xiao Liu? You! Why are you back? Aren't you studying in the study room?"
"I'm done with school~" Yinzuo loosened his arms and got off the imperial mother's back on his own initiative. He sat beside her with his legs dangling in the air.
The Imperial Concubine held his cloak tightly for him, held his cold little hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Child, you came all the way back in such a cold day. Look how frozen your hands are. Come in with me and warm yourself by the fire. Don't catch a cold."
After the Imperial Concubine led him into the palace, she kept giving him a lot of instructions, but it was obvious that she was very happy.
"Are you used to sleeping in the South Third House? You like to sleep in, so you must not have gotten up on time in the morning. Did the teacher in the upper study give you any trouble? Your study partner was chosen by my mother from her family. Is he devoted to you?"
Yinzuo chuckled and rubbed her waist.
"My dear Imperial Mother, you are asking so many questions at once. Are you reluctant to part with me?"
The Imperial Concubine choked for a moment, sat up straight, and said stubbornly: "I wish you could move out earlier so that I can worry less!"
Yinzuo didn't point it out and just laughed.
"Your Highness just refuses to admit it. When you left, Sixth Prince, our Chengqian Palace became empty. The Imperial Concubine was worried about you, but she kept it to herself. If it weren't for the fact that concubines were not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will, I'm afraid Your Highness would have gone to the South Third Residence to see you last night."
Instead, the imperial concubine's personal maid spoke up with a smile.
"My dear mother, please don't stay in the house alone. Remember to take care of the flowers and plants I grow in the backyard."
"Okay, now that you have moved out, just remember to order me around." The expression on the imperial concubine's face was very relaxed.
Her position was the highest among the concubines in the harem, so she had to be careful with her words and actions and set a good example for the other concubines. So apart from paying her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, she usually did not go out. She also did not like to gossip with people, otherwise she would not have exempted the concubines in the harem from paying their respects every day and only allowed them to go once on the first and fifteenth day of each month.
Apart from poetry and books, she has no other hobbies. In the past, with Yinzuo to chat and entertain her, a day would pass quickly. But now, she feels that "the days are passing by like years".
But these are not suitable to be told to children.
As they talked and laughed, time passed in the blink of an eye. After an early dinner, the Imperial Noble Consort urged Yinzuo to return to Nansanso.
Yinzuo was "kicked out" with a box of snacks.
Afterwards, he went to Yonghe Palace and saw Little Thirteen crying.
"It's quite lively here, mother."
Concubine De looked at her youngest son with surprise, stood up and walked over to hold his face and take a look at it, then took his slightly cold hand and rubbed it for him.
"Why are you back, Xiaoliu? Isn't he studying in the upper study? Where's your brother?"
"After school, it's still early, so I came back to get some things. My brothers get out of school late."
Defei nodded and walked him inside while saying, "Mother, I see that your face is a little chapped. It must be because of the strong wind when you got up early in the morning. Bring back two boxes of perfume later. Remember to wipe your face and hands when you get up in the morning. Remember to give the other box to your brother. I think his is almost finished."
"good!"
Yinzuo ran to Yaohua's cradle and saw that his sister was still looking at him with her eyes open, just like before, without making any noise or making any noise. Yinzuo couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.
"Yaohua still remembers brother. From now on I can't come to see you every day, you must not forget brother."
Concubine De took two boxes of unused perfume from her dressing table and walked over, saying with a smile, "She remembered it. When you didn't come yesterday, she kept looking at the door. When she woke up this morning, she kept looking at the door as well. It's obvious that she has been thinking about you, her brother."
Aunt Qing just happened to bring over a box that contained the two boxes of ointments. Shunfeng took the things and held them in his hands.
Little Thirteen on the side stopped crying and looked at Yinzuo curiously.
Yinzuo also walked over and kissed him, and whispered to him: "Xiao Shisan, as long as you don't compete with me for your brother, I still like you very much. You are so cute."
"By the way, this morning, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince came to our place and said they came to visit you. Didn't you tell them that you were going to move to the South Third Residence?" asked Concubine De.
"I did say that, but originally I said it was after the Lantern Festival. Who knew that the Emperor suddenly asked me to come earlier today? I haven't had time to tell them yet. If they come again, please tell them for me, mother."
"good."
Yinzuo teased Xiao Shisan and Yaohua until it was almost dark, and then he left reluctantly. Before leaving, he took a new lunch box.
At this time, Yin'er and Yin'e could not eat and were making a scene in Yiku Palace and Yongshou Palace respectively.
"I want to go to South Third Institute, too! I want to go with my sixth brother!"
"Wherever Sixth Brother goes, I'm going to go! I don't care!"
Both the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yi invited the imperial physician that night, as they were said to have headaches.
