After the first month of the year, Yu Ge'er would go to the palace to study.
Before dawn, the sleepy Yu Ge'er was pulled out of bed by Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao was going to court, so he volunteered to bring Yu Ge'er into the palace.
Gu Jiu felt very upset.
"Your class starts an hour later than your court session. Can you let him sleep a little longer? At worst, I can escort him to the palace myself."
"No need! Just lie down and get some more sleep. Yu Ge'er is a child, how can he sleep in?"
Yu Ge'er was sleepy and sat on the bed in a daze.
He heard his parents' conversation.
He glanced at Liu Zhao.
Is it your biological child?
You are the stepfather, right?
Liu Zhao didn't give Yu Ge'er any time to object and grabbed him to wash.
Yu Ge'er used to love crying, especially during the month of confinement. He cried so loudly all day long that his cries could be heard throughout the palace.
But after he turned two years old, Yu Ge'er rarely cried anymore.
If you fall down, you will get up silently, pat your knees and palms, and do what you need to do.
Liu Zhao grabbed him and taught him martial arts, but he didn't cry.
Oh my god!
How sensible!
The key is that you become sensible too early.
A sensible child will be more lovable.
The one who felt the most distressed was none other than Aunt Fang.
I got up early, wiped my tears, and packed Yu Ge'er's luggage.
"My brother is so young, but he has to go to the palace to study every day like an adult. It's hard for my brother."
Nanny Fang put a lot of snacks in the bamboo basket.
Yu Ge'er no longer likes to cry, but still likes to eat snacks. His body and face are chubby, and he looks honest and cute.
Gu Jiu sat on the bed, feeling a little dazed.
Who is she? Where is she? What should she do?
It seems that there is nothing that requires her, the mother, to do.
Then why not lie back down and continue sleeping.
She has never gotten up so early.
It's too early.
Getting up at four or five in the morning is so unkind to a two or three-year-old child.
Gu Jiu yawned. She always slept until she woke up naturally, and Yu Ge'er was the same.
Thinking of Yuger Routuanzi, who had to get up early every day like Liu Zhao, she felt very distressed.
She got out of bed wearing a robe.
It was her own son’s first day of school, so she should at least send him off.
Otherwise, I would really become a stepmother.
Yu Ge'er finished washing up, changed into new clothes, and was still sleepy.
His eyes opened and closed, and his head nodded.
Gu Jiu picked him up and asked, "Are you very sleepy?"
Yu Ge'er rubbed his eyes and said, "Son wants to sleep."
"We'll sleep in the carriage. We won't get up so early tomorrow."
Liu Zhao: “…” Get up at this time tomorrow as usual.
Yu Ge'er continued to rub his eyes, "My son doesn't want to study."
"Children need to study."
Gu Jiu is still very firm on this point.
Yu Ge'er yawned and said, "I don't want to go to the palace to study."
Gu Jiu rubbed his little cheek, "Your royal grandfather has spoken personally, and everyone must listen."
Yu Ge'er opened his hazy eyes and asked, "Grandfather Huang, can't you listen to your son?"
Hahaha……
Liu Zhao bared his teeth and smiled proudly.
He is ambitious and worthy of being his son.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at Liu Zhao, then said to Yu Ge'er, "No!"
"Why?" Yu Ge'er asked innocently.
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Because that is the emperor, the emperor's grandfather. In the world, the emperor is the greatest."
Yu Ge'er said, "Son, you should study."
A look of despair on his face.
How can you have so many ideas at such a young age?
Gu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched his head. "Don't worry. Reading can help you learn knowledge, and it's fun."
Yu Ge'er obviously didn't believe it.
Having to get up so early to study, it’s obvious that studying is not a fun thing.
At this moment, only the big cream bun can soothe Yu Ge'er's wounded heart.
For Yu Ge'er, Qingzhu got up early in the morning to knead the dough and make big cream buns.
Wrap it in oil paper and put it in the basket. "If you're hungry, take one and eat it."
Yu Ge'er said in a baby voice: "Eat now."
"Eat in the carriage, and be careful not to get any wind in your mouth."
"It's getting late. I'll take him to the palace first."
The fourth prince Liu Zhao mentioned Yu Ge'er and walked outside.
Yu Ge'er stretched out his hands, looking very pitiful.
Liu Yi also brought his son to the palace to study before dawn.
The two brothers met at the door, greeted each other, and got into their carriages.
In February, the weather is still very cold.
It's especially cold early in the morning.
Riding a horse to court is simply insane.
For example, the third prince Liu Yan who was seriously ill.
Liu Zhao took his son and hid in the carriage to keep the cold wind out.
Liu Zhao bent his finger and flicked his son's head.
Yu Ge'er, who was eating a delicious cream bun, secretly rolled his eyes at Liu Zhao and continued eating.
"Your mother said you're eating too much, and you don't know how to control yourself?"
"Mom said my son is growing and needs to eat more."
Liu Zhao grinned, "Good or bad, it's all your mother's fault."
Yu Ge'er took a bite of the cream, it was so delicious! He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
“Is it really that delicious?”
Liu Zhao didn't like sweet things, and after tasting cream once, he never wanted it again.
Yu Ge'er rummaged through his basket, and found in it, besides the four treasures of the study, spare clothes, a purse, and food.
He took out the second big cream bag from the pile of snacks and handed it to Liu Zhao, "Eat it!"
Liu Zhao knocked Yu Ge'er on the head and said, "Call me daddy."
"Dad, you eat."
Yu Ge'er stretched out his hand, his eyes showing reluctance. It was so painful to share his snacks.
If the person in front of him was not his father, he would not bother to pay attention to him.
Oh, oh, oh!
Seeing Yu Ge'er's reluctant look, Liu Zhao laughed, "Your mother is right, you are a foodie."
Yu Ge'er said seriously: "Eating is human nature."
"This kid is great. He knows his nature at such a young age."
"My mother taught me. She said that when a person is born, their first desire is to eat. Eating is a lifelong pursuit."
Liu Zhao rubbed his brows and asked, "What kind of nonsense did your mother teach you?"
"Mother taught me well."
Yu Ge'er refuted, leaving no room for doubt.
The little brat, despite his young age, has a lot of ideas.
Inside the Fourth Prince's carriage, the situation was quite different.
The fourth prince Liu Yi was giving instructions to his son Liu Zheng.
"...After entering the palace, remember to be discreet and don't cause trouble for me. Study hard and don't be rude to your teacher. Remember to pay your respects to the Weiyang Palace and the Cining Palace every day."
Liu Zheng asked, "Do you want to take Yu Ge'er with you?"
The fourth prince, Liu Yi, hesitated for a moment and said, "Take him with you. You are the elder brother, so you should set an example. In any case, don't embarrass me."
Liu Zheng moved his little butt and couldn't sit still.
He is afraid of his father.
His father looks gentle on weekdays, but he is ruthless when it comes to fighting.
Liu Zheng has been beaten a lot in the past two years.
These days, there is no such thing as not beating children.
On the contrary, everyone firmly believes that beatings can produce filial sons.
Nothing can be achieved without beating.
Beat the good and the bad.
It's a rainy day and I have nothing to do, so I might as well beat the kids.
Whether from a small family, a wealthy family, or the royal family, they all believe in this educational philosophy.
Being born into a royal family, the fight was even more severe.
From Liu Zhao onwards, none of his brothers had not been whipped by Emperor Wende.
No one was spared.
Now that the brothers Liu Zhao and Liu Yi have become fathers, it is natural for them to carry forward the tradition of beating children to produce filial sons.
Liu Zheng and Liu Yu, the two brothers in distress, were often beaten.
Almost to the palace.
Yu Ge'er finished eating a big cream bun, took out the thermos from the basket and drank a sip of water.
The thermos is made of ceramic, long and can hold a large cup of water.
It is covered with a bamboo shell of just the right size, which is sturdy and you don’t have to worry about it breaking.
We also specially made a wooden stopper of the right size. Once you put it on the cup, you don’t have to worry about the water in the cup leaking out.
In order to help Yu Ge'er study, Gu Jiu went to great lengths and even made the first crude thermos cup of this era.
In fact, it does not provide more heat preservation, but it is more beautiful, convenient and hygienic than traditional water bags.
The most important thing is hygiene.
As he was about to enter the palace, Liu Zhao finally remembered his fatherly responsibilities and warned Yu Ge'er, "I don't ask you to be the best at everything, but don't be the last either. Study hard. If you're scolded by the teacher all day for being unlearned and not studying hard, I'll punish you when I get home."
Although Yu Ge'er was very young, he frowned slightly and looked very sad.
"Is it embarrassing to be the last one?"
"What do you think?"
Yu Ge'er scratched his head and said, "Then my son will try his best."
Liu Zhao chuckled and said, "Study hard."
"oh!"
Yu Ge'er felt like he had lost all desire in life. He got off the carriage and was then taken to school by the palace servants.
From today on, Yu Ge'er's hard study career began.
…
Gu Jiu had no mood to do anything the whole day.
On my son's first day of school, I worried he wouldn't be able to adapt, would be bullied, or scolded by his teacher. I even worried he wouldn't have lunch.
Nanny Fang was even worse than Gu Jiu. She ran to the Buddhist temple to chant sutras and pray for Yu Ge'er.
Gu Jiu was flipping through the account book, unable to concentrate at all.
This is her favorite account book.
Only after becoming a mother did I realize that raising a child is a road with no end.
As long as you live, you will worry about your children.
Gu Jiu simply threw the account book aside and planned to pass the time reading vernacular novels.
"Madam, are you going out?" Qingmei asked while serving by the side and doing needlework.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's very cold, I won't go out."
February is windy.
The wind was howling and it was very cold.
"Madam, don't worry about Yu Ge'er. He is so smart and has a study partner by his side. He will definitely be able to handle it."
Yu Ge'er had two study companions, one from the Pei family and the other from the Gu family of the Marquisate.
At first, Gu Jiu was still hesitant, worried that the issue of companion study would cause discord between the second and first wives in the Marquis' Mansion.
Unexpectedly, when she sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to raise the issue, the Marquis readily agreed to send her child as a companion, without worrying about conflicts between the first and second wives.
Since the Marquis' Mansion is not worried, Gu Jiu naturally won't worry either.
That’s how the two study partners were decided.
Xiao Cui's face was wrinkled by the cold wind, but it did not hinder her excitement about finding out the big gossip.
"Madam, great news, the Third Madam is setting rules for Cai Baolin."
The third wife, Cui, was the third prince’s concubine.
Cai Baolin, the original wife of the Third Prince, was demoted to Baolin because of the Cai family case.
The concubine sets rules for the original wife. Tsk, they're causing trouble right after the first month of the year!
