Daddy is here?

Queen Duan was also very surprised and asked Eunuch Yin who came to report.

"Isn't the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace discussing matters today?"

Eunuch Yin quickly replied, "The Emperor finished his work early in the morning and prepared to come over."

While he was speaking, Emperor Shangwen had already stepped into the palace.

"Greetings to His Majesty/Father."

Everyone knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Shangwen helped Empress Duan up with great enthusiasm and smiled, "It's rare that we are all here today, so I will naturally come to have dinner with you and my Yu'er and Jin'er."

After saying that, he pulled Queen Duan to sit down and waved his hand.

"No need to be polite, let's eat."

His eyes fell on Xiao Rujin who was standing beside him. Seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, Emperor Shang Wen was very pleased.

"Jin'er's complexion does look much better, and she's eating a lot more."

Turning his head, Xiao Ruyu caught his attention again.

Xiao Ruyu's teeth were in pain, so she could only bite her food with difficulty, and she would spit out half of it after taking a bite.

Seeing this, Emperor Shangwen frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied.

"Yu'er is not young anymore, it's time for her to look like a princess."

He shook Queen Duan's hand and asked for her advice, "Isn't it time to send Yu'er to learn etiquette?"

Xiao Ruyu was eating happily when she suddenly heard her mentioned.

When he heard that she was going to be sent to learn etiquette, a picture inevitably appeared in his mind:

She could neither sit nor stand.

All behavior and manners must be disciplined by the nanny, and if you don't learn well, you will be scolded.

Thinking of the scene, Xiao Ruyu shrank her neck, wanting to cry but without tears.

【Daddy, Mommy, I don’t want it. 】

[I don’t want to learn etiquette. I’m still young.]

Queen Duan seemed to be thinking about something and calculated Xiao Ruyu's age.

"Yu'er is not a child anymore, it's time for her to learn some etiquette."

She half laughed and half seriously said, "On weekdays, she is like a man, sitting and walking straight, if people tell others, they will laugh at her."

"Besides, Yu'er is a princess, so she has to act like one."

Xiao Ruyu reluctantly moved closer to her and tried to act coquettishly.

[Mother, can I not go? ]

Seeing Queen Duan shaking her head, she lay on her legs, flapping her calves.

Emperor Shang Wen spoke with some dignity, "You will have to learn it sooner or later, so it's better to start early."

[That stinky little brother is actually a prince...]

Xiao Ruyu muttered softly.

"Your brother is not in good health. He will go when he gets better."

Queen Duan treated her equally and touched her head.

"Yu'er is obedient."

It was already a done deal, Xiao Ruyu no longer struggled and could only agree to it helplessly.

After dinner, Xiao Ruyu was carried back to the bedroom by Eleven.

Along the way, she didn't say a word, her little hands weakly resting on his shoulders.

As Eleven walked, he noticed her sighing repeatedly and couldn't bear to speak.

"Little princess, are you still worried about learning etiquette?"

Xiao Ruyu hummed in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only comfort her.

"This day will come sooner or later. All you have to do is study hard, little princess."

"Eleven knows some people in the Ministry of Rites. When the time comes, can you find a gentle tutor for the little princess?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ruyu's depressed mood was mostly gone.

[It’s not that I don’t want to go, but I’m used to being free and easy by nature, and now I have to be bound by these rules. ]

She sighed and thought about her past days in Medicine King Valley.

[When I was learning from my master before, there weren’t so many rules. ]

but.

The scene in the Medicine King Valley in the past when Doctor Yang forced her to learn magic suddenly emerged in her mind.

During the cold winter months, she would practice magic outside over and over again.

Winter turned into summer. She practiced magic under the scorching sun for an unknown period of time. She was sweating profusely and her vision was blurred, but Doctor Yang refused to let her rest for even a moment.

As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces excellent students. Now she can remember those spells firmly in her mind.

Now that Xiao Ruyu is learning etiquette, shouldn't Eleven also...

She thought for a moment and grabbed Eleven's neck.

[Eleven, isn't it time for you to follow Master and learn some magic? ]

Eleven was startled and touched his neck. "That's true, but since returning to the palace, Master has never looked for Eleven."

A sly smile flashed across Xiao Ruyu's face, and she was ready to drag him into the water.

[In that case, we will go find the master later! ]

[Let him start teaching you magic from now on. ]

Eleven couldn't hide her smile as he watched her, not realizing at this moment how devastating the days ahead would be.

…

After taking care of everything, Xiao Ruyu went to school the next day.

Early in the morning of November 11, she went to Doctor Yang to learn magic. Today, she was the only one who could go.

Empress Duan was worried and originally wanted to have more maids follow her around.

However, Xiao Ruyu sent them all away, leaving only a little maid by her side.

Xiao Ruyu tiptoed all the way to the school.

She slept for half an hour longer in the morning because she was too sleepy, and it was already a little late when she woke up.

As I was on my way, two people blocked my way.

Xiao Ruyu originally thought that he had accidentally bumped into some young master and was about to avoid him.

When she turned left, the two men followed her and turned left, and the same was true when she turned right.

Xiao Ruyu was annoyed and immediately became alert.

[Who dares to stand in my way? I will teach you a lesson...]

She rolled up half of her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and raised her head with a little resentment.

Huh? Why do these two people look so familiar?

Xiao Ruyu tilted her head and stared at the two people in front of her and found that they could no longer hold back their laughter.

"cousin!"

She stared for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

The two people in front of her were her two cousins, Duan Yiling and Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiling couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The little princess looks so adorable."

Duan Yiheng also coughed twice and said with a smile, "Just now the little princess said that she wanted to teach us a lesson?"

The two of them looked at each other and then looked down at Xiao Ruyu.

Only then did Xiao Ruyu realize that the two men were more than a head taller than her.

In the past, I could reach their heads when I jumped up, but now I can only hit their chests.

[What did you eat to grow so fast? ]

Xiao Ruyu sighed.

I hadn't seen them for a while and they had grown a lot, so I didn't recognize them at first.

"The food in this palace is not as good as that outside the palace?"

"Why hasn't the little princess grown at all?"

Duan Yiheng smiled, picked her up, and pinched her cheek affectionately.

Xiao Ruyu felt a little guilty.

Although she was said to be in the palace, she actually spent these days in the wilderness.

[Maybe I missed my two brothers too much. ]

Xiao Ruyu smiled faintly, her expression full of sweetness.

"You've become more eloquent. Come, let Brother Ling hug you too."

Duan Yiling was looking at her enviously, vying to hug Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu leaned over and kissed him on the face.

It has been a long time since they last met and the three of them missed each other very much.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

"Who else do I think I am here?"
