"Brother Yanzhi?"
Jiang Shumiao was a little confused.
Lu Yanzhi smiled gently, "From now on, you should call me 'sir'."
Jiang Shumiao asked honestly, "Isn't that a mistake in generational ranking?"
Lu Yanzhi's smile remained unchanged. "In the classroom, there are only teachers and students."
Jiang Shumiao gave an "oh" and then fell silent.
Then she realized how powerful it was.
Because she's a music fanatic—the kind of fanatic who's an idiot.
Moreover, Chen Xunzhi is teaching etiquette today—back in the Heavenly Palace, she was notoriously unruly and disobedient, so she is being taught etiquette.
NO!
However, the teacher did not distinguish between high and low status under the ruler.
So Jiang Shumiao, with tears welling up in her eyes, nestled in her mother's arms, who had come to take her home, and said pitifully, "I don't want to go to school anymore, the teacher hit my hand, waaaaah..."
Xiao Yitang: "..."
The goddess who fears neither heaven nor earth is actually afraid of her husband's ruler?
After returning home from court, Jiang Zhixu listened to his daughter's tearful account and felt extremely distressed. "That old scoundrel Chen Xunzhi dared to make things difficult for my daughter. I must confront him and reason with him."
Jiang Shumiao nodded.
"My uncle, the emperor, even made my brother Yanzhi my teacher, deliberately making me a lower generation. He also deliberately picked on me, using me as a 'chicken' to scare the monkeys, waaaaaah."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixu became even angrier.
Lu Yan and that scoundrel bullied his eldest daughter, and now Lu Yanzhi is bullying his younger daughter. So, the Lu family is specifically targeting the Jiang family's daughters?
Xiao Yitang finally couldn't listen anymore.
"You were the one who insisted on going to the Imperial Academy. Your uncle said you could start school in two years, when you turned five, but you weren't happy about it. So they specially converted a preschool class for you and gathered all your friends together. Weren't you quite happy when you came back yesterday?"
She hugged her youngest daughter, but in the end, she couldn't be a strict mother. She said gently, "Mother knows that my Miaomiao is the most capable. But school is not a joke. Since you're going, you have to listen to your teachers and not be willful."
Jiang Shumiao nervously fiddled with her fingers.
She went there just to have fun.
"Then...then I've changed my mind now, is it okay if I don't go?"
Jiang Zhixu wanted to say yes, but Xiao Yitang glared at her and shut her up.
"Don't you always say that you must keep your promises, otherwise there will be karmic consequences?"
Jiang Shumiao muttered to himself, "Heaven wouldn't dare to strike me down."
Xiao Yitang: "..."
Seeing her mother give in, Jiang Yiqing took her hand and said patiently, "As a person, you can't be untrustworthy, and you can't leave things unfinished. The kindergarten was set up for you. If you leave, what will happen to the others?"
Jiang Shumiao bluntly stated, "They can also drop out of school."
Jiang Yiqing chuckled.
“Miaomiao, they are different from you. They are ordinary mortals, and even scions of noble families. Learning literature and martial arts, understanding principles and etiquette are all essential courses. If they were all like you, only caring about playing around, wouldn’t they become useless fools? How can people who don’t understand right and wrong ‘do good deeds and accumulate virtue’ and stand up for the people? Wouldn’t that be a disaster for the common people?”
Jiang Shumiao opened her mouth, but then fell silent.
Then I began to seriously reflect on it.
She certainly didn't consider herself a real mortal.
As she grows older, her divine power gradually recovers, and one day she will reshape her divine bones and regain her immortal body.
At that time, all the affairs of the mortal world will no longer be relevant to her.
Jiang Zhixu felt a pang of pity seeing her youngest daughter looking so dejected. She wanted to say that it wasn't that serious, but then she heard Jiang Shumiao say, "I know."
She hung her head and took Fuqu back.
Jiang Yining was worried, so she followed.
Jiang Zhixu couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too harsh on Miaomiao? She's only three years old after all."
Jiang Yiqing said, "Father, Miaomiao's kinship with us probably won't last long."
Jiang Zhixu was taken aback and turned to look at his wife.
Xiao Yitang had already turned her head away, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Jiang Yiqing's eyes dimmed slightly. "When Miaomiao was born, she said that her soul had already been scattered. She never mentioned her origins, nor how she died. She seemed carefree and cheerful, but there was always a sense of melancholy in her eyes."
Xiao Yitang pressed her eyes and said softly, "As parents, we naturally hope that our children are doing well. Too much love can harm them, and too much indulgence can kill them. I am just an ordinary mortal and don't know what it's like to be an immortal, but I was pregnant for eleven months, and my heart is connected to my daughter's. I can feel that Miaomiao has an unresolved knot in her heart."
“I also want to spoil her and pamper her without restraint, letting her grow up carefree, but I want to teach her well even more. No matter how strong she is, she is not omnipotent. Look at her lawless nature, she must have offended a lot of people in the past.”
"She is kind-hearted, relies on family ties, and loves making friends. But mortal life is short. We parents can indulge her, but others have no obligation to play and fool around with her forever. If she doesn't understand the meaning of 'reason', she will become a lonely person sooner or later."
Jiang Zhixu remained silent.
On the other side, Fuqu was also advising Jiang Shumiao, "Princess, actually the Eldest Princess and the Eldest Young Master are doing this for your own good. You told me to learn how to be a good person first, and over time I've come to understand one thing: one cannot be untrustworthy."
"I know."
Jiang Shumiao turned her head and saw Jiang Yining.
"Third Brother."
Jiang Yining walked in and comforted her, "Miaomiao, don't be angry. If you really don't want to go to school, why don't you go to the palace and talk to your uncle? He will definitely stand up for you."
"No need."
Jiang Shumiao smiled at him, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "Mother and Third Brother are right. One should finish what one starts and not give up halfway."
Jiang Yining was relieved to see that she was really not angry.
After he left, Jiang Shumiao slowly stopped smiling.
