Ye Jingchen covered his face.
Ye Jingshu really should be given a mirror to look at herself, so she can see her 'gentle' side.
However, it's a good thing that she's willing to change; there's plenty of time to improve in the future.
Children, whether they are 'inherently good' or 'inherently evil', are actually very easy to be moved. As long as you are genuinely good to them, they can feel it.
Inside the Wenhua Hall, the three siblings finally achieved a superficial "harmonious" situation.
This day finally arrived, the day Ye Jingchen had been looking forward to taking a break.
The night before, before going to bed, he specifically told Fang Feichen to wake him up at 9:00 AM.
This way he can sleep four hours more than usual, a full two hours, which sounds wonderful.
He usually gets up at five o'clock, and he reduces the time for dressing and washing to fifteen minutes. After that, he warms up in the small garden of the East Palace, jogs for half an hour, and then picks up Ye Jinghe to go to the Wenhua Hall for morning lessons.
Since he started getting up early to exercise, he rarely dozes off during morning classes anymore. Perhaps it's because half an hour of jogging has completely woken him up.
In his previous life, he lived to be thirty years old, and his limit was running for five minutes. He never expected that after transmigrating into a book, he would be forced to break through this limit.
I jog for half an hour every morning and again before bed. At first, it was excruciating, but after persisting, it was still just as painful!
Human potential is indeed limitless, but Ye Jingchen believes that this does not include the potential to endure hardship.
Fortunately, he wasn't running alone; he was running with most of the palace staff of the Eastern Palace.
At first, when he was running, the people in the Eastern Palace didn't understand why. They just saw him running, so they all followed him.
Ye Jingchen thought it would be good to let them run around. Running around now might make them more agile if they were assassinated, and save their lives.
Moreover, as the saying goes, it's better to suffer together than to suffer alone. If someone shares the suffering with him, he'll feel better.
Moreover, running is something that can be sustained for a longer period of time when there are many people involved.
But on his day off, Ye Jingchen decided to give himself a morning off, since the opportunity to sleep in was too rare.
He not only slept alone, but also encouraged Ye Jinghe to sleep with him.
"Jinghe, sleeping in is one of the most enjoyable things in the world. Once you experience it, you'll love it!"
Ye Jinghe: ?
Although he couldn't understand, since his brother had said so, then so be it?
However, ever since Ye Jinghe could remember, he had never been able to sleep until 11:00 AM. He was either woken up by hunger, by the cold, or by the palace servants of Changchun Palace who forcefully woke him up...
After arriving at the East Palace, he was neither hungry nor cold, and no palace servants dared to bully him. However, he always slept restlessly, fearing that when he woke up, he would be back in the side hall of Changchun Palace.
He always woke up very early every day, making sure he was still lying in the soft, warm bed in the East Palace, and then happily closed his eyes. He would either recite his lessons or think about his brother until his brother was about to wake up, then get up, dress, wash up, and go to find his brother.
That day, because his older brother wanted to sleep in, he lay in bed for an exceptionally long time and waited with particular agony.
The small kitchen in the Eastern Palace had already prepared breakfast, just waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to wake up and eat.
Fangfei and the others always followed the rules, knowing what to do at what time, and naturally didn't want Ye Jingchen to sleep for so long. However, once Ye Jingchen made a decision, no one could change it, whether in the past or present.
Even His Majesty grants the Crown Prince's every request, so what can they possibly change?
As soon as the hour of Si (9-11 AM) arrived, Fangfei hurriedly went to wake Ye Jingchen up.
Ye Jingchen was in a particularly good mood after sleeping in late for the first time in a long time, and he didn't even have any morning grumpiness.
When it was time for breakfast, he didn't feel very hungry because he had been sleeping the whole time. Ye Jinghe, on the other hand, had woken up early and was lying in bed waiting for his brother. He was already very hungry and ate faster than usual.
Seeing that Ye Jinghe looked extremely hungry, Ye Jingchen realized that it was inappropriate for him to make Ye Jinghe wait for him to eat together. He himself liked to sleep in late and had an irregular eating habit, but that didn't mean Ye Jinghe could accept it.
"Xiao Jinghe, if I ever oversleep again, you don't have to wait for me. Eat first, don't let yourself go hungry, understand?" Ye Jingchen said to Ye Jinghe.
“But I want to wait for my brother.” Ye Jinghe put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"But—I'll feel bad if you go hungry! If I give in to you, I won't be able to sleep in, which isn't good for either of us. It's better if I sleep in and you eat when you're hungry. If you really want to eat with me, you can have some snacks first when you're hungry. That way, I can sleep in and you won't go hungry, which is a win-win situation, isn't it?" Ye Jingchen patiently persuaded.
Ye Jinghe was indeed very clingy to him, but people are essentially independent individuals and cannot be too attached to another person, because he could not accompany Ye Jinghe for a lifetime, and he had to learn to be independent.
Ye Jinghe's independence began with eating alone.
Ye Jinghe thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
The feeling of being hungry was indeed unpleasant, but he couldn't bear to disturb his brother, because his brother seemed to really enjoy sleeping in.
"Jinghe, little brother, would you like to have some imperial food? How about we go to Father's place for lunch?" Ye Jingchen asked suddenly, seeing Ye Jinghe eating so earnestly.
"Why go?" Ye Jinghe suddenly felt that the food in front of him didn't taste good anymore.
"Father's imperial cuisine is better than the food in the Crown Prince's palace. When you go there, you don't need to worry about anything, just focus on eating."
Although Ye Jinghe was slightly tempted when he heard his brother say that the imperial cuisine was delicious, he didn't really want to go or eat it because he knew that the prerequisite for eating the imperial cuisine was to see that person.
“I don’t want to go,” he said, mustering his courage.
Ye Jingchen was not angry or disappointed when he heard this. On the contrary, he was very happy because Ye Jinghe had actually learned to refuse him.
Having one's own will and not being easily swayed by others is also one of the most important characteristics of an independent personality.
"Alright, then I'll respect your wishes and won't take you," Ye Jingchen said, patting his little head.
Ye Jinghe: ?
“Brother, don’t go either! Why do we have to go eat with him?” Ye Jinghe asked, tugging at Ye Jingchen’s sleeve, his face full of resistance.
"Why did Xiao Jing wait for her brother to eat with her today?" Ye Jingchen asked instead of answering.
"I don't want to be alone." Ever since his brother brought him back to the East Palace, his brother has been eating with him every day. He only eats better when his brother is watching over him.
"It's pitiful to eat alone, isn't it?" Ye Jingchen asked.
Ye Jinghe thought for a moment and nodded.
"Our father eats alone every day. As his children, we should often show him care and have meals with him!" Ye Jingchen said earnestly to Ye Jinghe.
