Chapter 484 I'm Protecting You
When Ma Jingrong was at home, he was always surrounded by servants.
But after arriving at the Zhou family, they found that there were less than two servants around them.
This also caused Ma Jingrong to be timid in doing anything, even though he used to just wait to be served.
Fortunately, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and others around him were giving him examples. After a while, Ma Jingrong felt that this seemed not bad.
He had never interacted like this with anyone his own age before.
Of course, it would be better if he could stay away from his cousin who is the emperor.
Ma Jingrong didn't dare tell anyone else that he was a little afraid of his cousin who was the emperor.
Ma Jingrong, who thought that others didn't know about it, had actually been made fun of by the adults for this matter.
"Mom, did you see how timid our Jingrong was just now? It made me laugh to death." Although he was her own son, Zhou Yunxia laughed the happiest.
Compared to her son's arrogant and domineering look who looked down on others, she preferred to see her son's timid look just now, which was unexpectedly cute.
Wu Yue smiled and touched her daughter's hand and said, "Have you figured out how to tell the Ma family?"
"I did." Zhou Yunxia's smile faded slightly, and she said to Wu Yue and her father, "I wrote a letter to the Ma family after arriving in the capital."
"I want to divorce Ma Yongxian. He doesn't need a son like Jingrong, so I want Jingrong to have the same surname as me, Zhou."
Zhou Jingrong sounds much better than Ma Jingrong.
Wu Yue frowned slightly, but Zhou Jianwu smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you want, Daddy will support you."
Zhou Yunxia felt more confident when she heard her father's support.
Wu Yue said, "I'm just afraid the Ma family won't be so easy to talk to."
Zhou Jianwu said nonchalantly, "If he has any ideas, he can come and talk to me."
"I just don't believe my daughter can't get a divorce."
Zhou Yunxia also said to her mother: "Mom, no matter what, I really don't want to live with him anymore. I think he is disgusting."
If she had married a fickle and playboy from the beginning, she might not be as disgusting as she is now.
But Zhou Yunxia originally married Ma Yongxian, who promised to be with her forever.
She really thought Ma Yongxian was disgusting, hypocritical and pretentious.
The Ma family also made her uncomfortable. She didn't want to go back to the Ma family, and she didn't even want to go to Tongzhou again.
"I want to buy a house nearby..."
"Why buy it?" Wu Yue disagreed, "Your previous yard is still empty, you can just move in."
"Jingrong, you don't have to worry. He lives in the front yard with his brothers. The house is so big, isn't there room for you and your son?"
Zhou Jianwu nodded, "His Highness just had a chat with me in the study. Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others will come to the palace to accompany him in his studies. Jing Rong should go too."
Zhou Yunxia's eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhou Yunshu and asked, "Is it okay?"
Zhou Yunshu, who had been sitting next to him without saying anything, smiled and said, "Okay."
The children of important officials and powerful people in the court who study with Xixi now are all children. Since they can do it, the children of the Zhou family can certainly do it too. This can be regarded as a disguised compensation for the Zhou family.
Because of the adults' arrangements, the next morning, little Ma Jingrong, who was still sleepy, followed his brothers into the carriage in a daze, and then entered the palace in a daze. When he sat down in the classroom, he looked at the children around him who were older than him, and suddenly woke up.
"elder brother?"
Ma Jingrong stuck closely to Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others. He had never been to school before in the Ma family.
The Ma family started to educate their children at the age of five or six. As the Ma family was a military family, they attached more importance to learning martial arts. Therefore, Ma Jingrong, who was not even five years old, could only play with the wooden sword made by his father. He did not know a few words and was a real illiterate.
Furthermore, Ma Jingrong intuitively felt that he couldn't afford to offend any of the people in the room, so he had to stick close to the people he knew.
"Can you read without arms?"
"Whose family is he from? Is he also from the Zhou family?"
"No, there are only three children in the Zhou family's Yuan generation: Zhou Yuanli, Zhou Yuanyi, and Zhou Yuanruo."
"What about this little fat boy? He calls the Zhou family's kid brother."
"He seems to be the legitimate son of the second daughter of the Zhou family who married General Ma of Tongzhou. His name is, his name is..." Although the person who spoke had memorized many family genealogies, he was obviously not familiar with them.
It was Ma Jingrong who kindly reminded him, "My name is Ma Jingrong, but my mother said she wants to change my last name to Zhou."
Ma Jingrong had no objection. He just felt that his father and grandmother might not agree, but his mother and grandfather didn't care whether they agreed or not.
"Who are you?"
People in the classroom paid more attention to He Zizhen because he was the most special.
He Zizhen took a step back, clenched his remaining hand, and said, "My name is He Zizhen."
"Whose family are you from?"
"Who is your father? What rank is he?"
"Does your family have a title? Why haven't we seen you in the capital?"
"Is there no one left in your family? Why did they let a disabled person like you enter the palace?"
Yuan Li and Yuan Yi stepped forward and stood in front of He Zizhen and said, "He is our friend."
Peng Sichu, the grandson of Prime Minister Peng, said, "Not everyone can be your Majesty's study companion."
He looked at the Zhou family and continued, "Your family is not treating the palace as the Zhou family's back garden, right?"
"His Majesty sent us here."
The grandson of the Minister of Revenue behind Peng Sichu asked Yuan Li, "Is he the same?"
He Zizhen stepped out from behind Yuan Li and Yuan Yi. He couldn't hide behind them forever.
He Zizhen looked at Peng Sichu and the others and said, "My name is He Zizhen, and I am your Majesty's study companion."
"You mean it?"
All of them, who were His Majesty's study companions, were of noble birth, well-known and healthy. They did not believe that He Zizhen would be His Majesty's study companion.
"I said yes."
Xixi walked into the classroom, looked at Peng Sichu and the people around him, pointed at He Zizhen and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my friend, He Zizhen."
Although Peng Sichu and the others are older than Xixi, after spending some time together, they gradually discovered that although the little emperor Xixi seems easy to talk to, you'd better take what she says to heart.
If you just treat her as a child who knows nothing, you will suffer a great loss.
"Who his father is or what his family does is none of your business. All you need to know is that I'm protecting him."
Peng Sichu and others nodded. There was no one in the world with a bigger backer than the emperor.
He Zizhen looked at Xixi and felt a slight soreness in his nose.
It had been a long time since he had been so favored and protected.
He Zizhen's face was filled with emotion, while Ma Jingrong's face was filled with devastation. He only now realized that he might have to meet the person he was afraid of every day in the future.
He wants to go home!
