In the very center of the East Palace's small garden stands an octagonal pavilion. If one sits in the pavilion reading and has a strong voice, one's voice can be heard from most parts of the garden.
Among the lecturers, there happened to be one gentleman whose voice was particularly penetrating.
Human memory is actually quite mysterious.
Some people have photographic memories; they can remember what they've seen or heard for a long time after just one glance or one listen.
Some people, however, have memories like a fish, lasting only a few seconds before forgetting everything they see.
However, in reality, anything that is seen or seen will leave an impression in your mind, even if you forget it immediately, and you will recall it at some point.
In his previous life, Ye Jingchen had a very poor memory. However, in a dramatic way, he had a younger brother with a photographic memory, as if the Creator had bestowed the memories of the two of them onto one person.
This is a truly amazing thing.
For example, they both like to read military books. The younger brother can recite the origins of the Thirty-Six Stratagems fluently. If he thinks carefully, he may only have one idea in his mind: "retreat is the best policy".
Although he couldn't remember which thirty-six stratagems were in his mind, it didn't stop him from using those strategies to teach those bullying classmates a lesson.
Although he doesn't remember, seeing, hearing, and internalizing something will leave an impression.
Therefore, Ye Jingchen's consistent principle is not to emphasize rote memorization, but to value whether one puts their heart into it.
Knowledge is not something you learn by simply memorizing it; you truly master it by internalizing it.
For example, right now, when they are jogging in the morning, their mental focus is actually very high. When they hear their teacher reading aloud, even if they are too tired to read aloud, they are definitely reading along with him in their hearts.
In this way, reading and morning exercise can be done without any problem.
Amidst the sound of reading aloud, Ye Jingchen encountered Yun Shu, who was sitting on a rock, panting heavily.
The future heartbreaker is currently just a solid little chubby boy. He's been pampered and spoiled since childhood, so it's normal for him to be a bit weak and lack stamina.
Seeing Ye Jingchen and the others, Yun Shu felt rather embarrassed and guilty, and her already chubby and rosy face turned even redder.
He got up from the rock and joined Ye Jingchen's group.
"Yun Shu, just do what you can. If you feel tired, you can walk slowly, but don't sit down. Once you stop, it's hard to keep going," Ye Jingchen said gently to Yun Shu.
"Your Highness, this is just my first time running like this, I'm not used to it yet. I'll get used to it after running it a few more times," Yun Shu said, covering her face shyly.
"I believe in you. All this flesh on your body will be your potential," Ye Jingchen said in a serious tone.
This statement—
Xie Chang'an held back his laughter for a long time before he managed to avoid bursting into laughter.
But Yun Shu agreed and was encouraged.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!" Yun Shu said, moved and determined.
After Yun Shu, the second kid she encountered was Ye Jingyu.
He didn't run, but walked quickly with his head down, leaning forward, somewhat like a duck walking.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around and the first thing he saw was Ye Jinghe, whose face was flushed but who was still running without stopping.
Damn it! He lost again!
"Jingyu, do you want to keep running with us?" Ye Jingchen asked him as they ran.
"Brother, I'd like to walk around by myself for a while," Ye Jingyu said sullenly.
Although he really wanted to run with his elder brother, he now knew that although jogging looked easy, it would be tiring if he kept running. He didn't want to get tired after running with his elder brother for a while and then give up in front of Ye Jinghe. He couldn't bear to lose face like that!
"Don't stop moving, or you won't have lost," Ye Jingchen told him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Jingyu thanked him earnestly, watching as his brother and Ye Jinghe gradually increased the distance between them until they disappeared from his sight.
He seemed to be deep in thought.
Although Ye Jinghe was slow at the beginning, he was steady and persisted until now, eventually surpassing him.
Therefore, the initial speed is not important; perseverance is the most important thing.
Yun Shu ran with them for a while. Although she really wanted to keep going, her body wouldn't allow it, so she had to slow down and walk instead of running.
Further on, they encountered Ye Jingshu.
Her Highness stood before a path, hesitating whether to take a shortcut.
As soon as she stepped onto the path, she heard distinct footsteps. Turning around and seeing Ye Jingchen and the others, an unnatural look flashed across her face.
"I just saw a cluster of flowers that were blooming particularly beautifully, so I wanted to go and take a look!" Ye Jingshu said, trying to appear calm.
Ye Jingchen didn't expose her, but just asked with a smile, "So, is Your Highness going to pick flowers, or are you coming with us?"
"It's never too late to pick the flowers, but this princess wants to run away by herself," Ye Jingshu said.
Running is too tiring; she doesn't want to run at all!
"You lost." Ye Jinghe smiled contemptuously at Ye Jingshu and said.
He knew how to provoke Ye Jingshu.
"Nonsense! How could this princess possibly lose to you? Run away if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Ye Jingshu was provoked by him and suddenly seemed to have endless courage and strength.
This time, however, she no longer complained that Ye Jingchen was a little turtle; she wished he would run even slower.
The four of them listened to the teacher reading classical Chinese texts and ran quietly for a while before encountering Wu Zemin and Gu Beichen.
They continued jogging, but perhaps because they were too tired, they ran very slowly.
Gu Beichen, in particular, was deathly pale.
"Take a break if you're tired. Getting fit isn't something that can be achieved overnight; the key is to persevere," Ye Jingchen said to them as he passed by.
Ye Jingchen continued running forward, with Ye Jingshu following at the very back. When she saw that Wu Zemin and Gu Beichen had stopped, she was filled with envy.
"This princess wants to rest too!" she said, panting as she ran.
"If you take a break, you've already lost," Ye Jinghe said casually.
Ye Jingshu's fists hardened.
"If you want to rest, then rest. What does a temporary win or loss matter? Why take it so seriously?" Ye Jingchen offered Ye Jingshu a way out.
"We've already lost anyway." Seeing his brother say that, Ye Jinghe added quietly.
"I—you—" Ye Jingshu pointed at Ye Jinghe, so angry she wanted to curse, but couldn't think of anything to say.
"You just wait!" In the end, all she could utter was this meaningless threat as she watched Ye Jinghe run away with Ye Jingchen.
That doesn't make sense! She couldn't even keep up, so how did Ye Jing and that short-legged guy manage to keep up with the imperial brother for so long?
Doesn't he get tired?
Ye Jingchen didn't know if Ye Jinghe was tired or not, but he was already exhausted.
He can only run for half an hour each morning and evening. Although he ran slower than usual today, he still felt tired.
He felt tired, so Ye Jinghe was so young, it was impossible for him not to be tired!
