Chapter 44 Yicai Academy
As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the court officials who are on leave will go to court.
At the same time, Yicai Academy officially started school.
Going to school formally means that Song Huaixi loses the opportunity to sleep in. For someone who loves to sleep in.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
At the hour of Mao, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.
Today is the day Song Huaixi goes to school.
Zhao Fangye always wakes up early. He turned his head to look at Song Huaixi who was sleeping beside him. The whole person is curled up in the quilt with long curly eyelashes hanging on his eyelashes, it is time for a good dream.
It's still early and Song Huaixi is a sleepy person. Reaching out to tuck the quilt for him, Zhao Fangye did not wake him up.
Hearing the noise in the bedroom, Nanny Zhang immediately walked in to help Song Huaixi get up. She knew that Song Huaixi never liked to get up early.
Today is his day to go to school, it would be bad if he was delayed.
Just as she was about to go in, Zhao Fangye came out of the bedroom, saw her intention and said calmly: "It's still early, let him sleep a little longer."
"yes...."
Seeing that Zhao Fangye had spoken, Nanny Zhang didn't know what to say. I can only retreat.
Zhao Fangye did not go out to practice sword as usual, but sat on the carved wooden chair in the main hall and called Qingshan and Qingyang in.
Focusing his eyes on the two people kneeling on the ground, Zhao Fangye said, "You two, follow the princess and serve her. The princess is familiar with you. From today on, you two will follow the princess and accompany her to school. Do you understand?"
Song Huaixi didn't have a good impression of the academy.
Giving him two servants could, firstly, look after him, and secondly, Song Huaixi would inevitably feel unfamiliar with the new environment as he had just entered school. He would be less nervous and afraid if he had someone familiar with him by his side.
"yes."
Qingshan and Qingyang were delighted and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express their gratitude: "We will definitely take good care of the princess."
The two brothers had never been to school, so it was a great opportunity for them to be the princess's study partner and to enter Yicai Academy.
Even listening to a little bit of instruction is better than being illiterate and unable to distinguish right from wrong.
"Then I will go down and prepare the things that the princess will need for the academy."
"Um."
After the two left, Zhao Fangye tapped his slender fingers lightly on the table.
A dark figure immediately fell from the beam and knelt down at Zhao Fangye's feet, clasping his fists and saying, "Master."
Fingers drummed on the table. Zhao Fangye lowered his eyes and looked at the secret guard who had been following him all year round.
"You have followed me for so many years. From now on, you will stay by the princess' side to protect her safety. If anything happens to the princess, I will only ask you for responsibility."
"Yes, master." A hint of surprise flashed in the secret guard's eyes.
He has been with the prince for almost ten years, and now the prince wants him to protect the princess? , he lowered his eyes in just a moment, all he had to do was obey his master's orders.
"Go down."
After arranging everything, Zhao Fangye sat in a chair waiting for Song Huaixi to wake up.
Chunhua came to ask if they wanted to set up breakfast. I know that Song Huaixi was sleepy and probably didn’t have time for breakfast.
Zhao Fangye said, "No need. Prepare some snacks and milk that the princess likes."
After saying that, he looked out the window and saw that it was getting late. He got up and walked into the house.
Song Huaixi was still sleeping, showing no signs of waking up. Zhao Fangye sat beside the bed and looked at his peaceful sleeping face.
She pinched his cheek, leaned over and called him softly: "Huai Xi, get up. Today is your first day at school. Do you want to continue sleeping?"
Being woken up, Song Huaixi opened his eyes blearily and looked at the handsome face just within reach. She was still not in a clear mind and put her arms around his neck and hung on him.
"Zhao Fangye is so sleepy..."
As she spoke, she buried her head in his neck and hummed, leaning on his shoulder and about to fall asleep.
Zhao Fangye felt helpless seeing his look, so he patted his back and picked him up.
Kissing his eyelids: "Be good, get up quickly. We're going to be late."
As he spoke, he put the clothes prepared on the side on him.
Song Huaixi was so sleepy that he was staggering all over the place, like a rag doll that could be manipulated at will. He did whatever Zhao Fangye asked him to do.
After dressing him carefully, Zhao Fangye helped him wash and tie his hair. Zhao Fangye did all these trivial things without any impatience.
Even enjoying it a little.
I washed my face with warm water and was shocked by the cold wind blowing in from the door. Only then did Song Huaixi's sleepyheads barely run away.
When Song Huaixi thought about having to get up so early every day, he started to back off again. He grabbed Zhao Fangye's sleeve and stammered.
Song Huaixi's eyes flickered and he tried with some hope: "Can I not go to school..."
"no."
Zhao Fangye, who had always been spoiled by him, refused very quickly this time.
He didn't want Song Huaixi to remain so ignorant. Although I have the ability to keep him by my side and protect him.
But what if one day I no longer have the ability? What will Song Huaixi do then?
Song Huaixi is not a pet, he is a living person. He didn't want to see his further possibilities being stifled because of his congenital deficiencies.
He clearly likes reading stories but can only read picture books with pictures. He clearly can write but no one has ever taught him how to write.
Zhao Fangye's mind is much more meticulous. He is not only making plans for Song Huaixi's future, but also because he loves Song Huaixi. Because I love him, I hope I can be his wings so that he can have a broader sky.
Instead of being trapped in the backyard of a house.
Being rejected without hesitation, Song Huaixi had no choice but to say sullenly with a droopy face: "Okay..."
After all, I agreed to it at the beginning, and it would be bad to go back on my word now.
Zhao Fangye said nothing more and took him to the carriage to the school. He handed the snacks and milk prepared on the side to Song Huaixi.
"You didn't have breakfast, it's all your favorite food."
After taking it, Song Huaixi's eyes lit up. In the rush of the morning, he thought he would have to go to school on an empty stomach. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fangye conjured up delicious snacks for him like magic.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Yicai Academy, and Zhao Fangye led Song Huaixi out of the carriage. At that time, many students were already walking towards the academy.
As soon as the luxurious carriage of Prince Ning's mansion appeared at the gate of the academy, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and everyone looked towards the two of them.
The gate of the academy in front of him was very grand and elegant. Song Huaixi looked around curiously and felt that this place was a thousand times more beautiful than the academy he had attended before.
Thinking that he would be able to study here in the future, Song Huaixi's resentment about getting up early suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After looking around for a while, Song Huaixi held Zhao Fangye's hand with some excitement in her eyes.
"Zhao Fangye, this place is so beautiful."
Touching the top of his head, Zhao Fangye curved his lips slightly: "As long as Huaixi likes it."
As they were talking, an elderly man wearing a blue-gray robe, with an elegant temperament and gray hair, walked towards them.
The elder saluted to Zhao Fangye: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Fangye quickly stepped forward and helped the elder up, his tone carrying rare respect: "Sir, why did you come out in person?"
The person in front of him is Zhang Wenwen, the founder of Yicai Academy. He is the most prestigious and knowledgeable elder in the academy. Many ministers and noble children in the court had received his teachings.
In order to invite him to come out of retirement, the emperor even specially designated a piece of land in the capital for him to establish the Yicai Academy.
Master Zhang had a kind expression on his face and his eyes fell on the two men's clasped hands. He stroked his beard and looked at Song Huaixi with inquiry in his eyes: "Is this the Princess of Ning?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Fangye looked at Song Huaixi tenderly, and then said to Master Zhang: "My wife, you are kind-hearted and ignorant of worldly affairs. Please don't be too strict with me. I just hope that my wife can distinguish right from wrong."
Zhang Wenwen has always been known for being strict and meticulous in his treatment of students. I hate lazy and cunning people the most. Zhao Fangye was worried that Song Huaixi would not be able to adapt. Take this opportunity to explain it to him.
There was a flash of surprise in Zhang Wenwen's eyes. His favorite student had always been cold and indifferent. When he first came to him, he said he wanted to arrange someone to work in the academy, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be his male wife who was married off by the emperor.
Then he smiled kindly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have changed a lot. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him."
Looking at Song Huaixi, Zhang Wenwen said meaningfully: "Being ignorant of worldly affairs is not necessarily a bad thing."
Knowing what he meant, Zhao Fangye remained calm and bowed to him, "Then I'll leave my wife in my care, sir."
