Xie Chang'an eventually donned the black and gold cloak.
It was just a very ordinary cape, with the hood up, only half of his face showing. I don't know what Ye Jingchen was so excited about.
His lewd grin was unbearable to look at!
If he weren't so weak right now, and could actually get sick from the wind, he wouldn't have given in!
If he gets sick as soon as his father starts training him, his grandmother will definitely be angry and might even strongly interfere with their training.
Although the training was tough, the process of constantly improving himself made him feel at ease.
After Xie Chang'an put on his cloak, Ye Jingchen returned to his seat with satisfaction. He rested his chin on his hand, leaned on the desk, and enjoyed the breeze, the fragrance of flowers, the birdsong, and the sight of the little ones reciting their lessons. He felt extremely content.
The usually grueling morning classes passed by in the blink of an eye.
The Eastern Palace's small kitchen gained three more imperial chefs, all of whom were very dedicated to their work. As a result, the breakfast was exceptionally lavish, no less than that of the imperial meals.
In addition to breakfast, the small kitchen also prepared a medicinal meal for everyone, the recipe of which was personally prescribed by Physician Zhang, and drinking it would strengthen the body.
Since children are not suited to bitterness, and Ye Jingchen did not want to deliberately seek out bitterness, he specially asked Physician Zhang to improve the recipe for the medicinal diet so that it would not be fishy or bitter, but would have a refreshing herbal aroma and a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Because of Ye Jingchen's sudden inspiration, the old doctor stayed up half the night to improve the prescription, until his eyes were black, before finally experimenting and finding the right taste.
Ye Jingchen actively urged everyone to drink the medicinal diet.
After they had all finished drinking, Ye Jingchen solemnly announced to them that starting tomorrow, they would change their morning reading method.
"Reading while running?" Everyone except Ye Jinghe was surprised, including Xie Chang'an.
As far as Ye Jinghe was concerned, he would support and do whatever his brother said. It was just a matter of memorizing his lessons while running, nothing to be surprised about, so he was very calm.
"Why do we have to run? Running is so tiring, how can we concentrate on memorizing?" This was Yun Shu, whose face was drooping and whose brows were furrowed.
“Your Highness, reading is a sacred thing. Burning incense and bathing are not excessive. Wouldn’t it be too dignified to recite while running?” Wu Zemin asked with a troubled expression.
"When doing anything, one should be single-minded and focused." Gu Beichen also somewhat disagreed.
Ye Jingyu agreed with Wu Zemin and Gu Beichen's words and nodded repeatedly.
His mother taught him that all his actions, whether walking, sitting, lying down, or speaking, should follow proper etiquette, and he recited his lessons while running.
Ye Jingyu was deeply opposed to such a rude thing.
"This princess is not going to run away, it's too unseemly!" Ye Jingshu refused directly.
How could a gentle and virtuous princess engage in such unrefined behavior?
Xie Chang'an didn't want to run away. He was already exhausted from being tormented by his father in the mansion. If he had to run away from the palace, would he even be allowed to live?
However, seeing that the others disagreed, he remained silent and simply watched the show from the sidelines.
He wanted to see how Ye Jingchen would persuade these people.
"Royal sister, if you were assassinated, with assassins chasing after you to kill you, would you choose to run for your life or choose to die gracefully?" Ye Jingchen asked unhurriedly.
"I'm a princess, not a prince. I can't compete for the throne. What value do I have in being assassinated?" Ye Jingshu rolled her eyes and asked bluntly.
At times like this, she no longer felt that rolling her eyes was unseemly.
"Why not? My elder sister and I are siblings from the same mother. If someone tries to threaten me by controlling my elder sister—" Ye Jingchen made a hypothetical assumption.
"I have guards and secret agents by my side. Assassins can't get close to me at all!" Ye Jingshu said proudly.
Moreover, if she were to encounter an assassination attempt where she had to escape to survive, she wouldn't be able to escape at all.
However, Ye Jingshu was still young, and she felt that Ye Jingchen's question was meaningless, but she didn't know how to refute him.
Ye Jingchen's assumption did not stump Ye Jingshu, but it did make Ye Jinghe somewhat anxious.
"Is my elder sister too weak to run properly, so she's using elegance as an excuse?" he asked bluntly.
He absolutely would not allow Ye Jingshu to become his brother's weakness!
Originally, he didn't care about other people's attitudes. It would be best if they didn't want to. If they didn't want to, they could all get out of the East Palace. That way, he would be the only one by his brother's side, and no one would be able to compete with him for his brother's affections!
But my brother is right. If Ye Jingshu is too weak, she could become my brother's weakness and bring him danger. He absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!
"You're talking nonsense! Even if I'm weak, I'm still stronger than your skeleton!" Ye Jingshu is most susceptible to being provoked by Ye Jinghe. As long as Ye Jinghe provokes her even slightly, she will get furious.
Once she gets carried away, she's bound to fall into Ye Jinghe's trap.
Although Ye Jingshu called him a skeleton, Ye Jinghe wasn't angry at all. He just curled his lips slightly and revealed a sarcastic smile.
"Although my elder sister is so much older than me and looks so much stronger, she might not be able to outrun me!"
He spoke casually, his expression and voice utterly contemptuous.
Well done!
Ye Jingchen secretly applauded Ye Jinghe in his heart.
This younger brother is exactly what he wanted!
strong?
Ye Jingshu looked at her arms, then rubbed her face, then looked at her legs, and began to doubt her life.
