He had only been learning from his teacher for less than a month, and he was still very young.
At the age of the Fourth Prince, he was either timid and afraid of his elders, or he was fearless and afraid of everything.
The Fourth Prince naturally belongs to the latter category.
When the Emperor asked him, the Second Prince and the Third Prince had already answered, and the Emperor's expression remained unchanged.
The Fourth Prince and his grandfather exchanged glances, and finally smiled obediently.
The Fourth Prince was handsome; some children are obviously good-looking from a young age. The Emperor, with a stern face, didn't rush to test him, but instead asked, "What funny thing have you thought of?"
The Fourth Prince blinked, as if thinking of something funny. "I don't know."
Can't he even smile?
My mother said that my grandfather values etiquette the most, and everything must be explained in detail...
The Fourth Prince blinked his big eyes again and again, and when he opened his mouth to reply, he smiled at his grandfather again: "Grandson looks at his grandfather with affection, affection, and a joyful smile."
The child's pronunciation of the word "kindness" was a little unclear, so I repeated it.
The Fourth Prince's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. The grandsons who had already stepped down and the younger princes sitting in the back might not have heard it, but the princes in the front heard it clearly.
Especially after Prince Hongli finished answering, the Emperor's laughter was heard very clearly.
Sitting in front of Fourth Master, Third Master resisted the urge to turn around and glare at Fourth Master. He moved his lips and said in a low voice, "Flattery, the behavior of a petty person."
He snorted and poured himself another cup of wine.
The eunuch beside him quickly took the wine pot: "Third Master, today is a big day. Consort Rong has instructed that you should drink less wine today..."
The Third Master awkwardly put down his wine cup, flicked his sleeve, and went off sulking.
The Fourth Prince also heard the somewhat flattering reply from the Fourth Prince above. He didn't show it on his face, but his lips twitched slightly.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the tone of Wanwan's voice when he spoke to his father earlier sounded somewhat familiar.
Although Wanwan's words had a hint of flattery, her childish voice didn't sound ingratiating at all; instead, it sounded exceptionally sincere.
The Fourth Master even thought about it seriously, what if he made such a sound...
Ugh, Fourth Master couldn't think straight, and first got goosebumps all over his body.
Indeed, it depends on who says it. If the princes said it, it might not seem too out of place for the younger princes, but if it were the Fourth Prince or one of them saying it, then…
I'm afraid what awaits me is not the Emperor's delight, but rather his reprimand and scolding.
However, even if the imperial grandsons said these words, they might not necessarily please their father, but not many of the imperial grandsons had the courage to say such things.
In comparison, my own Wanwan is indeed quite bold.
Fourth Master was half worried and half proud.
When he looked up again, he noticed that his brothers were looking at him in a strange way.
Fifth Master, who was closer to Fourth Master, turned around, his expression somewhat complicated: "Fourth Brother's guidance is truly excellent..."
etc……
The Fourth Master rarely showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
How... how did this become a case of him being a good teacher...?
However, such words certainly didn't sound like something a three-year-old child would say, so the princes naturally assumed that it was taught to them by their father, the Fourth Prince.
Even the thirteenth and fourteenth princes were no exception.
The Fourteenth Prince pulled the Thirteenth Prince aside and whispered, "I didn't realize... Fourth Brother could teach my nephew to say such cheesy things, huh..."
The Fourteenth Prince silently rubbed his arms.
Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince twitched his lips, unusually not defending his Fourth Brother, clearly indicating that he also agreed with the Fourteenth Prince's statement.
Regardless of what the princes below thought, the emperor above was pleased by the fourth prince.
He was actually a little surprised that his fourth brother, with his personality, could raise such a clever and bold child.
It's really funny no matter how you look at it.
After laughing, His Majesty remembered the matter of testing the Fourth Prince.
When the Fourth Prince saw that his grandfather had begun testing his knowledge, he also stopped smiling.
He answered whatever his grandfather asked.
If he couldn't answer the question himself, the Fourth Prince wouldn't hesitate or rack his brains; he would simply say honestly that he hadn't heard his father or teacher mention it and didn't know.
What could someone his age possibly know? It's not shameful to say he doesn't know.
The Fourth Prince didn't feel ashamed at all for saying he didn't know.
He answered all the questions he knew, and even when he shook his head because he didn't know, he still held his head high and stood tall.
Such an attitude was extremely strange to the Second Prince Honghui, who had already returned to his position.
Doesn't he feel ashamed at all? Isn't he afraid that his grandfather will think he's uneducated and doesn't care about his studies?
The second prince shook his head and quickly looked away.
He couldn't answer several of the questions his grandfather asked him today, so he'll have to ask them again when he gets back.
As for the third brother, who was staring intently at the top without blinking, the second prince didn't even bother to give him a proper look.
When the Fourth Prince came down properly, the Fourth Prince looked at the innocent smile on the Fourth Prince's face and was both amused and exasperated. He waved to the Fourth Prince and said nothing.
Yinreng witnessed all of this and felt a mix of emotions.
The Emperor still loves Hongli as much as ever. He remembers hearing a saying when he was imprisoned that the fourth prince's status was due to his father's influence...
That's what he really thought back then.
Now Yinreng suddenly doesn't think so anymore. If it weren't for the fourth prince's good teaching, how could he have raised Hongli to be like this?
Some things are perhaps destined by fate. Yinreng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
He turned to look at Hongxi, only to find that Hongxi was also looking at him.
The father and son looked at each other for a moment, and after seeing the smile on his father's face, Prince Hongxi's unease subsided slightly.
The family banquet was elaborate and varied. Later, Third Master also brought Prince Hongxi upstairs, but they didn't stay for very long.
On His Majesty's birthday, he did bestow many gifts upon the princes and grandsons.
Today, the Fourth Prince received an extra amount of rewards, and a considerable portion of them belonged to the Fourth Prince himself.
