Tian Bao, who was eating on the emperor's lap, was the first to see Xiao Si outside: "Fourth brother!"
The emperor's face darkened in displeasure, and he waved towards Xiao Si: "Why didn't you go to the Imperial College?"
Xiao Si lowered his head and said, "I've been there. The Master asked me to go back."
The tyrant emperor sneered, "Oh, he must have been driven out. What else did he do to irritate others?"
He is seven years old now. He entered the Imperial College at the age of six. He has angered countless teachers to death, and the tyrant emperor has received complaints from them several times after they could no longer tolerate him.
Xiao Si's eyes shone with stubbornness. "Nothing. I just argued with the teacher for a few words. They couldn't win the argument, so they kicked me out in a rage."
Today the Master taught me a sentence: There are three kinds of filial piety: the greatest filial piety is to respect one's parents, the next is not to disgrace them, and the lowest is to be able to support them.
Filial piety is divided into three levels: the first level is respecting one's closest relatives, the second level is not dishonoring one's parents, and the third level is supporting the elderly.
Xiao Si asked the Master dejectedly, "What if my parents are bad people? Should I still blindly obey them? Isn't that just foolish filial piety?"
He only recently learned the real reason why his mother was banished to the cold palace. Before that, in order to take care of his young mind, the queen secretly told the six palaces that no one was allowed to talk about Zhong Cainu's faults in front of him.
But the truth will eventually come out, after all, it is something that almost everyone knows.
But his father was the current tyrant emperor, and although his mother was in decline, his maternal grandfather was the powerful Minister of the Central Secretariat, Zhong Dequan. Therefore, the Master dared not say anything bad about either his father or his mother.
After careful consideration, the Master said, "There is nothing wrong with parental love. What we are discussing today is filial piety."
"Shouldn't filial piety also be conditional? If parents are truly bad, and children turn a blind eye and continue to be filial, aren't they simply encouraging them to do more wrong? Therefore, filial piety should be tailored to the circumstances. For bad parents, filial piety shouldn't be practiced."
Master: "...How dare you! Who should teach this lesson, you or me?"
Xiao Si glared at him: "Am I wrong?"
He didn't dare to argue with the Queen in Fengyi Palace, so he argued with her hard in the Imperial Academy.
The teacher had been tolerating him for a long time, but today he could no longer tolerate him and made him stand outside the school as punishment.
He didn't stop, but ran back.
He didn't dare go back to Fengyi Palace, for fear of being questioned by the Queen, and also afraid to continue copying the unfinished books. So he wandered to Lewan Palace to find Tianbao.
I heard that she was in Lingxiao Palace, so I came over again.
"Hmph, you are the only one who is good at arguing. Even Xiaowu is not as naughty as you." The tyrant king gave him a cold look.
When the foolish emperor was educating his son, Prince Jing consciously did not interrupt. He just silently peeled a shrimp and handed it to Tianbao's mouth.
Tianbao opened his mouth and ate it, giving King Jing a grateful smile.
After eating, she shook the emperor's sleeve and said, "Father, Fourth Brother is hungry. Can we eat with him?"
Xiao Si was indeed hungry, and his stomach rumbled a few times.
When the tyrant looked down at Tianbao, his face instantly changed to a smile: "Tianbao, be good, he's not hungry. He's been eating all day and night and he just knows how to irritate people."
The Queen never told him anything bad about Xiao Si, but other people with ulterior motives would, so the foolish monarch heard a lot of roundabout criticism.
I heard that he once made the queen cry.
Xiao Si glanced at the tyrant coldly, then looked away, stubbornly refusing to give in.
Tianbao felt very distressed.
In the past two years, Xiao Si told her everything that was on his mind, and she was the one who understood Xiao Si the best.
She climbed down from the emperor's lap, her mouth pouting so much that she could hang an oil bottle on it: "Father won't let Fourth Brother eat it, and Tianbao won't eat it either."
Seeing her tears welling up in her eyes, her wet eyes looked innocent and pitiful, the tyrant quickly relented: "Okay, okay, let the brat eat with you."
Tianbao burst into laughter, took Xiaosi's hand and went over to sit down.
Xiao Si was stubborn and refused to move: "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
It’s better not to eat the food given out of pity. In the entire palace, apart from Tianbao, there is no one who truly cares about him!
"Fourth brother!" Tianbao stamped her feet anxiously and was about to cry in front of him, but he turned around and ran out of Lingxiao Palace.
The tyrant king glanced at his back and chuckled, "You do have some backbone."
Prince Jing was also watching Xiao Si's back, and only withdrew his gaze when he was out of sight: "Your Majesty has been in the same situation as him, you should cherish him a little more."
The foolish emperor's eyes dimmed. Indeed, when he was very young, his mother was framed by someone using witchcraft and puppetry, and the late emperor gave her a white silk at that time.
No one knew how angry he was when he saw the same method used in Xuehan Palace two years ago.
If it weren't for Xiao Si's sake, he would have given Zhong Shi poisoned wine long ago given her that kind of behavior.
He sighed with melancholy. Keeping Xiao Si in the Queen's care was the best option. His future would depend on Xiao Si himself.
Tianbao sat down in a seat in a depressed mood. After taking two mouthfuls of rice, he suddenly thought of something.
She glanced to the left with her big round eyes, but the tyrant emperor didn't look at her. She then glanced to the right, but Prince Jing didn't look at her either.
So she quickly stuffed the chicken leg in the bowl into her sleeve.
He thought he was being very secretive, but in fact his movements were a bit too big.
Tyrant Emperor: ...
Prince Jing: ...
The two looked at each other in silence, both pretending not to see it.
Little Sweetie had a great appetite for this meal. After finishing his meal, he jumped off the chair and ran out: "Father, I'm going out to digest my food."
The foolish emperor glanced at Prince Jing and followed silently: "You are inconvenient, so don't follow. Don't scare her."
"Oh! Who said you wanted to follow?" King Tanba Jing glared at him viciously and said this, but he still couldn't help stretching his neck to look outside.
"Fourth brother? Fourth brother?" Tianbao guessed that Xiao Si had not run far, so she called softly while searching for him.
"I'm here." Xiao Si hid behind a big tree and waved his hand coldly.
Tianbao ran over happily, and seeing Xiaosi lowering his head, he put his little head in front of his chest and looked up at his expression.
The tyrant emperor saw the two little guys from afar, one with his head down and the other with his head up, facing each other. Soon, they both burst out laughing.
"Is Fourth Brother hungry?" Tian Bao worked hard to pull out a chicken drumstick from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Si. "Tian Bao will treat Fourth Brother to another one."
She kept trying to speak clearly, but she could never pronounce "meat" clearly.
Xiao Si's stomach growled uncontrollably. He pouted in disgust but still took it in his hand: "Who told you to hide it in your sleeve? It's so dirty."
Tian Bao laughed and said, "This is really delicious, brother, try it."
Xiao Si was too lazy to act pretentiously in front of her. He finished a small chicken drumstick in two bites and asked, "Anything else?"
Tianbao was stunned: "Yes! Tianbao is so good!"
As she spoke, she took out another pig's trotter and handed it over. This time, Xiao Si didn't even look disgusted. He took it and ate it with relish.
Seeing Xiaosi enjoying his meal, it was worth it for Tianbao even if his sleeves were greasy and uncomfortable.
"Did Fourth Brother have a fight with the teacher today? Tianbao wants to hear it." Lonely people need to vent, otherwise they will get sick.
Xiao Si threw away his pretense of strength and instantly lost his heart. He ate while complaining, "Well, Master, you are old and confused..."
Tianbao squatted on the ground, supported his knees with his elbows, held his little face with his hands, and listened very attentively.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly came over: "Ha! You are actually eating here secretly!"
