"Really?" Ye Jingyu could hardly believe his ears and jumped up with joy.
"So asking about flower petals really works!" he exclaimed excitedly.
As soon as he asked, his mother agreed. He hadn't even used the special trick that Yun Pangpang taught him yet!
"Shut up! What are you doing playing with flower petals, you boy? You're not allowed to play with them anymore!" Ji Wushuang angrily covered his mouth.
This child really can't be kept!
Although Ji Wushuang was very angry, Ye Jingyu was very happy.
I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for half the night. I kept rolling around in bed and secretly laughing under the covers.
Because he went to bed too late, he inevitably woke up late the next day, and it was almost Chenshi (7-9 AM) when he woke up.
He knew that the morning lessons at Wenhua Hall were at 4:45 AM. Before going to bed last night, he specifically instructed the palace servants to wake him up at 4:45 AM today.
As a result, no one woke him up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother sitting quietly at the head of his bed, and he didn't know how long she had been sitting there.
"Mother, you won't change your mind after just one night, will you?" he asked nervously.
Ji Wushuang remained silent.
She just stared blankly at the dark circles under Ye Jingyu's eyes.
Ye Jingyu has been beautiful since childhood, with a delicate and rosy face, so the dark circles under his eyes are particularly noticeable at this moment.
"Mother?" Ye Jingyu called out again, his voice trembling with unease.
Ji Wushuang then came to her senses, touched the dark circles under his eyes, and asked him with a complicated expression, "Are you so happy to go to Wenhua Hall to study?"
Ye Jingyu pursed his lips and nodded.
He was, of course, very happy.
However, his mother seemed very unhappy, so he dared not show too much joy.
If his mother sees him being smug and suddenly changes her mind, then he'll have nowhere to cry!
"Today is your first day studying at Wenhua Hall. I will personally escort you there. It doesn't matter if you are a little late." After Ji Wushuang finished speaking, she gestured for the palace servants to come forward and help Ye Jingyu get dressed and wash up.
Because Ji Wushuang personally oversaw the process, Ye Jingyu's clothes and accessories were exceptionally dazzling today, so precious and luxurious that they could practically blind people.
Seeing the glaring dark circles under Ye Jingyu's eyes, she originally wanted the palace maid to cover them with powder, but Ye Jingyu strongly objected, thus saving her face.
Even though Ye Jingyu is a vain kid, he couldn't quite stand Ye Jingyu's outfit today.
The weight of gold, silver, pearls, and jade made it difficult for him to walk.
Fortunately, they went to the East Palace in a sedan chair.
Ji Wushuang may have been determined to shock everyone with Ye Jingyu, or she may not have known that the morning reading in Wenhua Hall had turned into a morning run. To make it easier to run, even Ye Jingshu, a girl who loves beauty, dressed very simply. Ye Jingyu, dressed in his finest attire, was indeed particularly dazzling.
I just feel a bit out of place with the atmosphere here.
Fortunately, their morning run had already ended when they arrived, so Ji Wushuang didn't see their disheveled appearance right after the run. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have stayed a second longer and would have left with Ye Jingyu immediately.
"Your Highness, I am entrusting Jingyu to you. As the elder brother, you must take good care of your younger brother!" In front of all the children, Ji Wushuang, with a cold face, handed Ye Jingyu to Ye Jingchen, as if she were performing a solemn handover ceremony.
Ye Jingchen was completely baffled by her, and with a bewildered look, he took Ye Jingyu's hand.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince have nothing to say?" Ji Wushuang asked coldly.
"Mother, Wenhua Hall is just a place for studying, not a place of fire and water!" Ye Jingyu said painfully, covering his face with his other hand.
He had always felt that his mother was more like a child than he was, and she was especially so at this moment.
"Hmph!" Ji Wushuang snorted coldly, looking like she didn't want to talk to him, but her eyes were fixed on Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingchen suddenly felt immense pressure.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly take good care of my younger brother Jingyu," he earnestly promised.
"Remember what you said! I won't disturb your class anymore!" Ji Wushuang said, then left with her entourage.
Watching her walk away, Ye Jingchen and Ye Jingyu simultaneously patted their chests, still feeling lingering fear.
"Jingyu, your mother is so terrifying, how did you manage to get her to agree to let you study at Wenhua Hall?" Ye Jingchen asked with great curiosity.
"Did you use the special move I taught you?" Yun Shu asked, leaning closer with interest.
"No, it's very simple, but I promised my mother I wouldn't tell anyone!" Ye Jingyu shook his head and said.
"Since that's the case, then let's not talk about it. Anyway, the result is good." Ye Jingchen said, patting Ye Jingyu's head. "Welcome, little brother Jingyu, to the Wenhua Hall!"
"Royal brother, didn't you say yesterday that we'd have a football match when Ye Jingyu arrives? Now that he's here, when are we going to have the match?" Ye Jingshu asked with great interest.
Although she is a girl, Ye Jingshu clearly prefers activity to stillness; otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted and gotten used to running so quickly.
“During archery lessons, we can set aside some time each time to practice. Cuju, as a multiplayer game, emphasizes teamwork, and it also has its own techniques. We need to learn them all to make it fun,” Ye Jingchen said unhurriedly.
"Also, we need a teacher who knows how to play Cuju to teach us the methods and rules of Cuju."
"But the archery lesson isn't until the day after tomorrow," Ye Jingshu said with a resentful look.
“Jingyu is new here, so it’s good to let him familiarize himself with the lessons in Wenhua Hall first,” Ye Jingchen said with a smile.
Speaking of this, Ye Jingshu looked Ye Jingyu up and down, showing great disdain for his fancy clothes and jewelry.
"Little Jingyu, since you're quite interesting and cute, your elder sister is kindly reminding you not to wear such cumbersome clothes tomorrow, or you'll suffer greatly." She spoke earnestly, as if she had been through it all.
"Why?" Ye Jingyu asked, puzzled.
Although he felt that his outfit was cumbersome and that walking was much more tiring than usual, he thought it looked pretty good because it was sparkly.
“Because we have to run during our morning class, and you’re carrying so much stuff, you’ll be tired just walking. How can you run?” Ye Jingshu asked him.
"Running—why do we run?" Ye Jingyu asked in surprise.
"Because it's good for physical and mental health, that's what my brother said, and that's what he leads us to do every day. Now that you're here, you have to do it too; there's no special treatment," Ye Jingshu said, pointing at Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingyu was particularly interested in things that everyone did together, because he was really tired of being bored by himself.
“I can run too,” he quickly said.
He doesn't want to be the special one!
"You're a promising young man!" Ye Jingshu said in a serious manner, like a little adult, and then, taking advantage of her height, patted Ye Jingyu's head.
She noticed that her younger brother often patted his brothers' heads, and each time he did so, he had a strange expression on his face, as if he had gotten a great deal. She was extremely curious.
However, among these younger brothers, the emperor's younger brother is the crown prince, so you can't just pat his head, or he'll lose face. The second brother is too boring, the fourth brother's hair is too neatly combed to touch, and the fifth brother is too annoying. Only the third brother is cute and has a likable personality, so you really want to pat his little head.
The feel of the slap was indeed very good, and she couldn't resist slapping it a few more times.
