The Queen introduced Wu Qing and said, "Lady Ji, I'll trouble you to take care of these two children in the future."
"…Madam, who are you talking about?"
Oh, no.
Could it be that these two idiots are...
Wu Qing slowly withdrew his hand that he had used to greet her and was stunned for a moment.
"Why don't you two come forward and pay your respects to Concubine Ji?" the Queen urged.
The boys stepped forward reluctantly.
The two of them moved at a snail's pace, as if there were hot stones under their feet, emitting heat that burned their feet.
The second prince lowered his head and stammered, "Liang Ling, greetings to Lady Ji."
The eldest prince bowed deeply and said uncomfortably: "Liang You, greetings to the noble lady Ji."
These two greetings lacked the dignity and grace that a prince should have, and seemed extremely awkward.
The queen frowned, and the curve of her mouth disappeared.
[Liang You? Liang Ling? ]
[So you two are Big Bear and Little Bear? ? ? Well, you two really are exactly like my stereotypes, hahahahaha. ]
[Oh, I am dying of laughter. No wonder! When I said they were eunuchs this afternoon, their faces were distorted.]
[After I called them mud monkeys, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were too embarrassed to admit their identities, so they just went with the flow and really played the role of eunuchs. This was such a cool move.]
[Oh my god, how could there be such a funny thing as a prince pretending to be a eunuch? ]
The laughter in Wu Qing's heart was too loud.
Under this unbridled laughter, the eldest prince's expression gradually changed from anger to helplessness, and finally turned into helpless collapse.
He inadvertently glanced at his second brother beside him, only to see that the other party showed no expression, as if he was out of the chaos.
The eldest prince looked up at the sky.
Suddenly I felt that it was a good thing that my second brother couldn’t hear Lady Ji’s voice.
At least I don't have to suffer like him now.
After hearing the whole story, the queen moved her hand, which was originally on her temple, to her forehead.
What a headache.
How come these two children, one is his own biological son and the other is Concubine Shu’s darling, didn’t they inherit any of their mother’s steadiness?
He is so old, but still so willful and naughty! He even plays the role of a eunuch in the palace!
With such a playful personality... could it be that he inherited the emperor's character?
The queen paused and quickly drove the thought out of her mind.
After being with Concubine Ji for a long time, she was actually influenced by her and began to disrespect the Emperor.
On the other end, Wu Qing cleared his throat and finally stopped laughing at the two of them in his heart.
She said seriously, "Greetings to the two princes. Wu Qing didn't know that the princes were coming today, so my words may have offended you. If I have been negligent, please forgive me."
"How dare I. How dare I."
The boys quickly returned her greeting.
Wu Qing took a step back: "No, I can't bear your gift."
"Let me make it clear first, I am not your teacher. The word teacher is too heavy, I cannot bear it."
Wu Qing said, "I am here to serve as your counselor, at the order of the Queen."
"But I have to say this in advance. When it comes to studying, one must endure hardships to become a superior person. If the princes cannot abide by my rules, I will leave immediately."
The queen on the couch nodded.
Obviously, she had agreed with Wu Qing's approach.
After hearing this, the second prince felt a little dissatisfied.
The teaching hasn't even started yet, but Lady Ji is already showing off?
He had been spoiled since his childhood. The servants around him coaxed him carefully, holding him in their hands for fear of dropping him, and holding him in their mouths for fear of melting him.
As the emperor's youngest son, he was deeply loved by his father. Even the emperor, who was high above him, had never been harsh or neglectful to him.
If Concubine Ji really became his counselor, wouldn't he be completely under her control?
The second prince asked unhappily, "Excuse me, what are the rules for Lady Ji?"
Wu Qing immediately revealed an overly bright smile.
She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and placed it on the polished desk.
"This thing is called a timetable. It was made after discussion between the Queen and I."
During these two days, Wu Qing had in-depth exchanges with the Queen and made detailed inquiries into the princes' study schedules.
She found that they spent most of their time each day studying the scriptures.
In modern times, that means studying Chinese seven days a week and being overwhelmed by the ocean of texts.
The queen also mentioned with a little worry that the princes had recently encountered considerable difficulty in reciting scriptures.
After hearing this, Wu Qing wanted to vindicate the princes.
——Studying scriptures seven days a week, even for a gifted child prodigy, will need a certain amount of time to digest them!
Even if it was Wu Qing who took over, Wu Qing admitted that he would not be able to recite it.
What’s more, these are two little kids who are still in adolescence.
So Wu Qing found the ink pen used by craftsmen, drew a detailed Excel chart, and carefully created a new study schedule for the princes.
"Your Highnesses, please move over and take a look." Wu Qing whispered softly, pointing to the class schedule spread out on the rice paper.
"This is the study arrangement for the next week. I hope that starting from tomorrow, the two princes can study according to the plan above."
The eldest prince and the second prince came over to take a look curiously.
They have seen ink pens, but have only seen craftsmen use them to draw designs, and have never seen an Excel spreadsheet.
From the table, I could see that every moment from morning to night was fully scheduled by Wu Qing.
At six o'clock, the prince got up and did morning exercises.
At seven o'clock, have breakfast on time.
At eight o'clock, classes started in the study room. The teachers took turns to teach the princes various knowledge.
Each class lasts for 40 minutes, and there is a 10-minute break after class.
After two classes, there is a 30-minute break.
After the big break, classes will continue until the end of the fourth class, and then we can go for lunch.
Of course, when Wu Qing wrote the table, he converted all modern time into ancient notation.
The princes exchanged subtle glances with each other, and then turned their eyes away.
Much better than I expected!
As a prince, you must study hard.
When the teacher taught, he wanted to impart all the knowledge to the students. Therefore, some teachers would lecture for two hours at a time. If the students were distracted for a moment, they would be scolded or sighed with disappointment by the teacher.
Now, they calculated that those short breaks in the morning, when added up bit by bit, were actually quite considerable.
The princes, who were in a good mood, continued to look down.
The first class tomorrow afternoon is called physical education.
The first class the next afternoon was called art class.
Scripture classes are commonplace and very familiar to them.
…But what are PE and art classes?
There are long breaks? Morning self-study? Evening self-study? I have never heard of it.
The princes asked Wu Qing with doubts.
Wu Qing ignored the main point and explained: "It's not a class taught by the Master. It's very relaxing, and the main point is to combine work and rest."
The princes nodded slightly, with uncontrollable joy welling up in their hearts.
If they had known this, why would they have opposed Ji Guiren's teaching so much?
Now it seems like a much more relaxing and enjoyable experience than their previous study schedule!
Mr. Ji, you are a pretty good person.
