Six years later.
It's a beautiful day with bright sunshine.
"Sir, I've finished writing!"
The girl's eyes were clear and bright. She sat behind her desk, resting her chin on her hand. Her eyes resembled her mother's, but also held a hint of cunning. Her every move seemed casual, yet her demeanor exuded an imperial majesty.
Everyone knows that Princess Xihe is the only child of the current emperor and his tutor. She began her education at the age of three, started learning martial arts at the age of five, and can fluently recite great works such as policies for governing the country. She was taken to court at a very young age, and can be described as having unparalleled favor.
However, she did not develop bad habits as a result; on the contrary, she became increasingly intelligent and quick-witted, displaying the demeanor of an imperial tutor.
Even as a child, she dared to grab the imperial seal and play with it; the princess is a natural-born empress.
Wei Zixian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "Now that today's lessons are finished, Your Highness may leave get out of class early."
"Thank you, sir." Xie Ciying smiled and quickly left with her book.
The reason she ran away so quickly was not for any other reason than to spend more time with her mother before her father finished court.
Xie Ciying grew up listening to the legends of Yun Qing and Xie Rang.
Because of the system's existence, they have never hidden anything from her since she can remember, but have always told her the truth.
Therefore, Xie Ciying knew that Yun Qing came from another world, and also knew some intricacies that outsiders couldn't understand. This was a little secret that belonged only to their family of three.
Xie Ciying deeply admired both her mother and her father, the Emperor.
She had heard from others how her parents had overcome the most difficult times, eliminated treacherous officials, pacified the internal and external affairs, and reformed the imperial examination system, opened up girls' schools, and enabled people all over the world to change their destiny through education.
Finding high-yield crops, improving farming methods, printing, gunpowder... all these things are more or less related to his mother. The Great Xi Dynasty was built by his mother and father.
Xie Ciying aspires to become as capable as them, so she never slacks off in her studies, wanting outsiders to see that her mother and father's judgment was correct!
When she skipped back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she knew that her father had definitely not returned yet.
Shunfeng's apprentice, Deming, has been making increasingly good connections in front of the emperor these past two years. In a while, he will be transferred to Xie Ciying's side to serve her daily needs.
He saw Xie Ciying arrive and hurriedly went to greet her: "Greetings, Your Highness. Are you here to see Lord Li?"
"Mm." Xie Ciying nodded reservedly. "You don't need to follow me, I can go in by myself."
Deming: "Okay."
Xie Ciying's daily life was trained according to the standards of a crown prince, but not so strictly. She was just used to pretending to be composed in front of outsiders, but she didn't have so many scruples in front of Yun Qing.
The little princess ran and jumped into Yun Qing's arms.
Yun Qing caught her steadily and smiled, "Did you finish your lessons so quickly today?"
"Yes." Xie Ciying nodded happily. She raised her little face and asked hesitantly, "Mommy, when can we go out to play?"
Yunqing knew what she meant by "going out".
The little princess was very curious about the world outside the imperial city. Yun Qing and Xie Rang loved to travel over the years, and considering her young age, they usually took her with them because the little princess was always very excited.
Yun Qing patted her head and said gently, "After your father and I finish our work."
In the last imperial examination, the court appointed several female officials, all of whom were graduates of the academy and possessed excellent abilities. They played their roles in the court and gradually silenced those who harbored discontent.
Yun Qing initially targeted aristocratic women, and now that it has proven effective, she plans to gradually expand the scope to the general public. Before Xie Ciying arrived, Yun Qing was organizing the files, compiling all the useful information.
"Alright." Xie Ciying was a little disappointed, but only a little. Her eyes were bright. "Mother, is this something I'll have to do in the future?"
Under the guidance of those around her, Xie Ciying has come to understand the weight of the position of Crown Prince. She knows that her mother and father are raising her as Crown Prince under pressure, so she always thinks about how she can become more outstanding so that she can share the burden in the future.
Yun Qing raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Yes, but don't think too much about it now. Your father and I will pave the way for you."
Xie Ciying nodded repeatedly, believing her mother's words.
The travel plans had to be put on hold for the time being, but the little princess had a sudden inspiration and came up with another idea: "Mommy, I haven't slept with you in so long, how about we do it together tonight?"
The little princess was a bit troubled. She loved her mother, but her father loved her mother too. In fact, her father was even more attached to her mother than she was. If this were told to others, they probably wouldn't believe it.
"OK……"
"no!"
Yun Qing has always been unable to resist a child's coquettishness, let alone her own daughter. Unexpectedly, halfway through her sentence, she was overheard by His Majesty the Emperor, who immediately objected.
Xie Rang walked to Yun Qing's side, looked at her with downcast eyes, and said in a low voice, "Ci Ying is so grown up now, why is she still so attached to the Grand Tutor?"
The little princess suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her father, the emperor.
How come she's grown up? Her father is older than her, but he still clings to his mother just the same!
Yun Qing looked at him with the same gaze, and after a long while, she made her choice: "Objection overruled. I will sleep with Ci Ying tonight."
Sleeping with Xie Rang, especially in the sweltering summer, inevitably stirred up some desire in Yun Qing. She disliked the heat and didn't want to feel uncomfortable the next day.
