Suning's temptation has never stopped since that day.
However, Xin Guoguo was not afraid.
She let Suning guess while she continued to take care of the eighth prince.
In the blink of an eye, the eighth prince was three years old.
His relationship with several other brothers and sisters also became better and better. He even attended their birthday parties and prepared gifts for them.
According to the tradition of the Qi State, children are named either when they are just born or when they are three years old and are included in the family tree.
Most families who love their children will think of a name for their child before he or she is born.
However, many families will wait until their child is three years old and can stand on his own feet before giving him a name.
So as to avoid the child dying and all the trouble.
Except for Fusu, all of Qi Huang's children were given names when they were included in the family tree at the age of three.
On this day, Xin Guoguo came to the outside of the ancestral hall as the eighth prince's personal maid.
The eighth prince was taken away by members of the royal family.
Xin Guoguo could only wait outside, listening to the shrill voices and the sounds of drums and music that came from inside from time to time.
By the time the eighth prince was carried out again, two hours had passed.
The little guy is still young after all.
Now back in Xing Guoguo's arms, he was dozing off the whole time.
The little head rested on Xing Guoguo's shoulder, and his eyes could hardly open.
Xin Guoguo held him in her arms and respectfully saw Qi Huang and the others off before she carried the little boy back to Xuanhe Hall.
Several princes and the fourth princess were already waiting in the palace.
Seeing that their younger brother was drowsy, they didn't disturb him. They put down their gifts and left.
Only Fusu sat there quietly.
He looked out the door.
There is a bluestone road in front of the door, and colorful flowers on both sides of the road.
Blue sky, white clouds, green grass...
But he had no mood to appreciate it at the moment.
"What happened to your Highness the Crown Prince?"
After Xin Guoguo settled the little meatball, she came out and saw Fusu still sitting in the hall.
"Looks like something's on your mind?"
Fusu came back to his senses in a daze.
Looking at her gentle gaze, I somehow asked the question in my heart:
"I just don't understand. Since my father asked me to take Mr. Zhang as my teacher, why does Mr. Zhang's ideas not go unappreciated by him?"
Xin Guoguo was slightly stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Fusu would ask her this question.
However, she also understood Fusu's doubts.
Now he is just an eleven-year-old boy, and he cannot understand the deep meaning of many things.
She was silent for a moment, then asked softly:
"Then... in your Highness's opinion, who is more powerful, His Majesty? Or is Mr. Zhang more powerful?"
"Of course it's Father!"
Fusu didn't even hesitate.
Xing Guoguo smiled.
Listen to Fusu's excited recounting of Qi Huang's achievements:
"Father unified the country and freed the people from the suffering of war. He implemented benevolent policies and promoted talented and capable people..."
After a pause, he frowned in distress again.
"But just because someone does one thing right doesn't mean they're right in everything. Even if they do many things right, it doesn't mean they can't make mistakes, right?"
Xin Guoguo just felt a headache.
She felt a little regretful about getting involved in Fusu's affairs.
"Then why did Your Highness decide that what His Majesty did this time was wrong? Is it just because Mr. Zhang disagrees?"
Fusu shook his head: "Of course not."
He is not a brainless person, can't he think for himself?
Xin Guoguo raised her eyebrows and looked at him, but didn't rush to speak.
Fusu paused:
"But the feudal system has been in place for hundreds of years. If it were to be changed to a county system, it would not only be a waste of money and manpower, but in serious cases it would even shake the foundation of the country!
"If the nobles of the Sixteen Kingdoms use this as an excuse to launch a counterattack, I'm afraid the strength of our Qi Kingdom will decline further."
The county system...
Xing Guoguo smiled gently:
"If this incident hadn't happened, wouldn't the nobles of the Sixteen Kingdoms have tried every possible way to counterattack?"
Fusu was silent.
Of course he knew that this was just an excuse.
The important thing is that he did not agree with the county system.
Seeing him like this, Xin Guoguo couldn't help laughing:
"Let's not discuss the merits of the county system or the feudal system. I would like to ask Your Highness, who is His Majesty to you?"
"My father, of course!"
Fusu looked at Xin Guoguo in confusion, not understanding why she asked such a question.
Xin Guoguo didn't explain and asked again:
"Well, do you know him?"
Fusu was silent.
He thought about it for a long time, but didn't dare to say directly that he understood his father.
In his eyes, his father was a man who was decisive and ruthless, and a king whom he respected and revered.
He didn't dare to understand him.
I never thought about getting to know him.
Xin Guoguo waited for a while before asking again:
"You know that His Majesty clearly adheres to the laws of the Legalists, so why did he invite a great Confucian scholar to be your teacher?"
Fusu was silent again.
He never thought about it.
But he had heard other people's speculations.
Someone whispered in his ear that his father did this to prevent him from succeeding to the throne.
Because my father dislikes Confucianism the most.
He had never identified with it before.
However, as conflicts with his father increased over the past year, he couldn't help but start thinking this way.
Xin Guoguo looked at the changing expression on his face and touched her face helplessly.
It's so pitiful that he has to answer questions and solve problems for others at such a young age.
Fortunately, there is only one student, and fortunately, this student only has this one problem.
Otherwise, her brain cells would disappear in large numbers, right?
She sighed softly, and after three seconds of silence for herself, she spoke:
