They managed to sit until the end of the class, and after saying goodbye to the teacher, the girls gathered together again.
Minghui's expression was serious.
She pulled Wen Yingmingxuan and Jingrou over.
Anyway, she's seen it all. Mingyue is such a naive and innocent girl. She's been too well protected and doesn't know anything about these things!
Moreover, it's already a blessing that she can keep the secret and not tell Consort De; we can't expect her to do anything more!
Moreover, she had never experienced anything like it, and although she was kind-hearted, she couldn't truly empathize with her.
So it's better not to involve her. If she leaks the news, things could go wrong.
Mingying... is even more brainwashed than Mingxuan. Perhaps it's because she's naturally quiet and a bit timid. If you really asked her to take the lead or do something, she probably wouldn't dare.
As for their tutors, they would definitely follow the two princesses around, so they couldn't be relied on. Moreover, even Minghui herself wouldn't feel at ease just having tutors if the two princesses weren't involved.
“If we go along with this and continue learning these things, it won’t be a big problem. After all, all the princesses in the past went through this. It’s just a waste of Father Khan’s hard work. Perhaps after two years of learning, they still won’t know what we’re learning.” She said with some frustration.
What happened? She originally wanted to learn something real in the study, but who could have predicted that it would end up being all about female virtues and teachings!
Because of her past experiences, Minghui was more mature than other girls her age. When she learned that she was going to the study, she was very happy, hoping to learn something so that she wouldn't be ignorant and foolish, just a princess staying in the deep palace!
But the current result is somewhat disappointing to her. Is she destined to be stuck in this situation forever?
Does this mean that princesses can only learn these things and can't read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles like men?
Perhaps they can't travel thousands of miles, but at least they should learn more about Mongolia. Even if they are married off in the future, knowing your enemy and yourself will ensure victory in every battle!
Moreover, isn't the best way to understand the territory of the Qing Dynasty, or even Mongolia, through books?
They can't just go directly to Mongolia.
The vast majority of princesses had never met their husbands before marriage, and the vast majority of princesses had never been to Mongolia before marriage.
She bit her lip unhappily. Her round, phoenix-shaped eyes suddenly seemed somewhat sharp, as if burning with a flame of resentment.
Minghui was very clever, but her cleverness was also forced upon her by her circumstances. She was able to wait for the Empress Dowager to arrive just when the nanny was bullying her, and she happened to have a great affinity for Buddhist scriptures, which won the Empress Dowager's favor.
She didn't want to end up just learning the virtues and teachings of women.
Jingrou was definitely unwilling. Although she had received nine years of compulsory education in modern times and later higher education, she was not inclined to be indoctrinated by such traditional Confucian values. However, she still did not want to spend the next few years in the study listening to these things and memorizing them!
No, that won't work...
Minghui looked at Jingrou. She was arguably the most favored child in the family; perhaps she could seek help from her?
Jingrou had considered this possibility. If she told her maternal grandmother, her grandmother would definitely be concerned, and then should she go to the Empress Dowager? Or the Grand Empress Dowager?
In the end, won't I have to give away favors again?
After all, there was a layer between them. If they went to their maternal grandmother, it would be like owing her a favor, and such kindness would eventually fade away. Therefore, Jingrou did not want her maternal grandmother to get involved in this matter.
Yes! She's almost four years old now. She can make some decisions on her own, so why does she insist on having her grandmother come over?
Jingrou fiddled with her sleeve, tilted her head and said, "I think the Empress Dowager is more reliable. If we could let Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang know about this matter through her... or let the Emperor know, that would be great."
Her voice was still that of her grandmother, and she casually uttered the most shocking words, a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Her idea was to solve the problem at its root so that she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Minghui and Mingxuan were both taken aback.
None of them ever even considered going to the Emperor. If we're talking about boldness, then Jingrou is the one who's the most daring!
Jingrou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
Actually, her thinking was very simple. She just felt that if this matter was to be truly resolved, the Emperor would definitely have to step in!
If the emperor truly values the princess and the marriage alliance with Mongolia, wouldn't it be a good solution to ensure the princess's legitimacy?
Is it possible that if a princess is raised, and then, because of her fragile personality or lack of understanding of worldly affairs, she is taken for a fool, or even bullied and dies young, is that the result the emperor wants?
Jingrou disagreed. The Emperor hoped that the princesses would grow up safely, marry into Mongolia, and contribute to the Qing Dynasty. That's why the Emperor attached so much importance to the princesses' education and arranged for them to study in the study from an early age!
Moreover, this wasn't something that only a few of them experienced; only the Emperor had the ability to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Minghui quickly understood the situation, even though she had never considered such a possibility before.
However, it must be admitted that directly speaking to Khan Amati would definitely be the most effective approach.
She was a little apprehensive—even though she was favored by the Empress Dowager, she had very little contact with the Emperor, and she never imagined that the usually stern and unsmiling Emperor could become her patron.
Mingxuan was also hesitant. Although she was the one who sparked this incident, she had never thought of resisting anything before, so she felt somewhat at a loss when faced with such a suggestion.
"What are your thoughts..." Jingrou asked worriedly. To be frank, they were, for the time being, outsiders, and the one in the most difficult position was Mingxuan, because her mother was involved...
If this matter were to be exposed, her mother might also be punished. Even if she wasn't punished, going directly to complain without her mother's knowledge... Mingxuan couldn't bring herself to do it.
Today, she was somewhat tempted by what the girls said and wanted to try to talk to her mother through her.
She pinched her little finger. Despite being treated this way by her mother, she still wanted to open her heart to her mother, to let her mother know her thoughts, and to let her mother show her some love!
