"Okay, Xiaowu, today you'll learn ten characters. Write each character ten times, then go play."
"No, Queen Mother, I want to learn ten more characters, and then twenty characters a day."
Xiaowu wanted to learn all the characters as quickly as possible so that he could read history books by himself and his mother could tell him stories about his father and grandmother.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his small body, then at his crooked handwriting, and handed him the paper filled with words.
"Look, you can only memorize the ten words you learned the day before yesterday today. If you learn twenty words a day, can you guarantee that you can memorize them all the next day?"
"I..." Xiaowu opened his mouth and closed it again. He was still too young to do it.
"Don't be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. But once you can write neatly, I will teach you ten more characters every day."
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Don't worry, mother. I will write neatly and beautifully."
Xiao Lingyu: "Okay, now start practicing the characters you learned today according to the method taught by your mother, and then practice writing all the characters you learned in the past few days."
"good."
Xiaowu sat up straight and practiced calligraphy under the caring gaze of Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu gave Mo Shu a look, and Mo Shu understood and left the room.
In less than half a cup of tea, Mo Shu, Shang Xue and several palace servants brought in all kinds of fruits, cakes and milk tea, and placed them in order on the long table in front of Xiao Wu's desk.
Xiaowu raised his eyes and glanced at me, seemingly indifferent, and continued to write carefully, stroke by stroke.
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows and remained calm, not being tempted by the delicious food.
Not bad, not bad.
"Son, drink your milk tea first before writing."
"Oh, okay." Xiaowu quickly put down his pen, picked up the milk tea and drank it happily.
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips and smiled, picked up a piece of bayberry, and lay down on his side.
After the funeral of Empress Dowager Du, life became more and more comfortable.
Wen Ge'er was in the Ministry of Justice in the morning and in the Imperial College in the afternoon.
Brother Jie also followed suit, busy making money in the morning and studying at the Imperial College in the afternoon.
The two brothers were too busy to come to the palace.
I agreed that I would help her take care of Xiaowu, but in the end she ended up taking care of him by herself.
Alas, as the saying goes, a child is no longer under the control of his mother when he grows up.
Xiaowu was very happy and spent five out of seven days sticking to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Wu tilted his head to glance at Xiao Lingyu, who was lazily lying on the couch, and said sweetly, "Mother, you are so beautiful. You look like me."
Xiao Lingyu smiled. Xiaowu already knows about aesthetics at such a young age?
"Yeah, mother looks like you, but you have to concentrate when writing, otherwise..." Xiao Lingyu raised his hand and touched behind him.
Xiaowu was so scared that he quickly looked away, stuffed a cherry into his mouth, straightened his posture, and started writing seriously.
Hey, she just frightened the child with a round fan.
"My lady, let this servant fan you."
Xiao Lingyu waved her fan and said, "No need. I'll do it myself. You guys take good care of the young prince."
"yes."
Xiao Lingyu gently waved her round fan, staring at the little person not far away, and found that her life now was no different from that of parents in later generations helping their children with homework.
Xiao Lingyu gently fanned himself with a round fan and soon felt sleepy. He put down the fan and prepared to take a nap.
My stomach suddenly started to churn.
No way, Erbao felt that he had too much free time and finally decided to come to her?
Xiao Lingyu quickly got up from the bed and ran out of the hall like a gust of wind.
"Empress!"
"Mother."
Xiao Wu hurried out and saw Xiao Lingyu holding onto the pear tree and vomiting uncontrollably.
"Call the imperial physician!" Xiao Wu started crying in fear. He ran over and patted Xiao Lingyu's back with his little hands. "Wuwuwu...what happened to mother? Don't scare me."
"No need to call the imperial physician, mother is fine."
"How can I be fine? I even vomited my breakfast. Mother lied to me... Wuuwuwu..."
"Take the young prince away quickly..." Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but retching before he finished speaking.
Half an incense stick later, Xiaowu was standing outside the door, his hands behind his back, anxiously turning around.
Even though my mother was sick, I was not allowed to call the imperial physician.
A moment later, the door opened and Xiao Lingyu walked out looking refreshed with a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Wu was surprised and pulled Xiao Lingyu over to examine her carefully. "Mother, are you really okay?"
Mo Shu couldn't help but speak quickly: "Your Highness, the Queen is fine, it's the Queen who is pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Xiao Wu frowned, "What do you mean by pregnant?"
"It means that the little prince is going to have a younger brother or sister."
"Brother or sister?" Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Lingyu's flat belly and remembered that Gu Yunshu had a bulging belly before she gave birth to Aunt Zhaoren.
"Mother, your belly isn't bulging. How can your son have a brother or sister? You must be ill. Tell me what's wrong with you."
"Ha..." Xiao Lingyu smiled and pulled him to sit down. "The Queen Mother is not sick. She is really pregnant."
"My lady, the food you requested is here."
The maid Shang Xue led the palace servants to bring in the anti-nausea food that Xiao Lingyu needed.
Xiao Lingyu quickly picked it up and tasted it a few times, and his stomach felt much better instantly.
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu showed no signs of vomiting, Xiao Wu felt relieved. "Mother, is my son really going to have a brother or sister?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "In a few months, you will be able to see the Queen Mother's belly swell up, and you can even feel it."
Xiao Wu said blankly, "My belly didn't grow suddenly. It turns out I have to wait a few months."
