Chapter 446: The Children Grow Up in a Flash
Six years later.
It was a clear and cool autumn day, and Jiang Ruo and Dong Xue were strolling in the imperial garden.
Thinking of the funny things that happened to the children yesterday, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Dongxue, Prince Ning said that his little one cried for a long time when he got home yesterday."
"Don't tell me, our Xin'er is quite amazing."
Among the children, Ning Yunqian is the most mischievous.
Dongxue was also very happy when she heard this.
"I asked Xin'er last night. During the break, Young Master Ning insisted on fighting with them."
"In the end, he didn't even hit Xin'er, and just... ran away crying."
Jiang Ruo thought about that scene and laughed so hard that she fell over.
"Haha... I heard that the little guy got spanked twice after returning home."
The master and servant strolled leisurely in the imperial garden.
Jiang Ruo looked at the sun and said, "Dongxue, the kids are almost out of school. Let's go pick them up."
"As you command." Dongxue bowed.
......
Jiang Ruo and Dong Xue walked slowly to Yuanbo Hall and heard the sound of Lang Lang reading from inside the hall.
The master and servant couldn't help but sigh: Time flies so fast, and the children have grown up in a blink of an eye.
Dongxue thought about the words her daughter wrote and the poems she recited last night, and felt inexplicably moved.
"Master, thank you."
Jiang Ruo listened to Dongxue's choking voice and immediately understood what Dongxue meant.
"Dongxue, we are a family. There's no need to say thank you."
The teacher who taught the children was Situ Kai, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
He actually enjoyed himself in front of a few innocent children.
Situ Kai looked at the sky, picked up the ruler and knocked on the table.
He said seriously, "Children, you have two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Review what you have learned at home."
"We're going to take a test in the next class, understand?"
"Students understand." The children responded in unison.
Situ Kai put away his books and said, "Okay, get out of class is over!"
After Xiao Yousheng stood up, the others also stood up.
They bowed together and said, "Teacher, you have worked hard."
"Teacher, take care!"
Situ Kai looked at the well-behaved little kids and left the hall with a smile on his face.
When he saw Jiang Ruo standing outside the palace, he quickly stopped, bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets the Empress."
Jiang Ruo raised his hand slightly, "Master Situ, please don't be polite."
"I'm here to pick up these children." Jiang Ruo explained her purpose.
Situ Kai bowed and said, "I will take my leave."
Inside the hall, after Situ Kai left, several children began to tidy up their desks and put their books into their school bags.
Ning Yunqian stuffed the books into his school bag and looked at everyone with an unyielding look.
He didn't dare to fight the Crown Prince, he couldn't beat Sheng Ziyi, and he didn't dare to fight his uncle's cousin either...
Ning Yunqian turned his head to look at An Xin, thinking secretly: I never thought that this little girl is so powerful.
Alas, how can I regain the face I lost yesterday?
An Xin glanced at Ning Yunqian and gave him a provocative look.
Not convinced, huh?
I'll teach you a lesson after you do something.
Daddy said, except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if anyone lays a hand on me, I must hit them back hard...
Xiao Yousheng noticed Ning Yunqian's little thoughts and a smile appeared on his face.
Yunqian, you were beaten with a stick last night but you still didn't behave.
Xiao Yousheng coughed lightly, "Okay, let's go!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Yousheng had just taken a few steps when Ning Yunqian, who was walking behind him, wanted to cause trouble.
Just as he stretched out his foot to trip someone, he saw Jiang Ruo entering the hall. He was so scared that he quickly retracted his foot.
This little action was noticed by Jiang Ruo who entered the hall.
Haha, it seems you didn’t learn your lesson from the beating you got yesterday.
When Xiao Yousheng saw Jiang Ruo, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your son greets the Queen Mother."
"Ziyi meets the Queen."
"Greetings, Her Majesty." The little kids behind saluted obediently.
Jiang Ruo smiled slightly, "No need to be polite, children."
"I'll take you to eat some dessert first, and then I'll send you out of the palace."
"By the way, I've prepared crispy pork and milk tea for you today!"
Several children were extremely happy when they heard this.
"Thank you, Mother."
"Thank you, Queen."
"Thank you, Queen."
Jiang Ruo looked at the well-behaved and sensible children and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's go back to Yongle Palace."
Led by Jiang Ruo, several children, carrying their school bags, skipped and followed him back to Yongle Palace.
Jiang Ruo listened to the chattering sounds and the smile on her face deepened.
Haha, no matter what era, going home from school is a happy thing.
