Feng Yuxiao nodded obediently.
He looked at the teacher who was patiently and gently applying medicine to him. He waited and waited, but the teacher didn't scold him. He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, I made a fool of myself, why didn't you scold me?"
When he was being questioned, his little fingers were tightly gripping the mattress, and it was obvious that he was afraid that the teacher would scold him the next moment.
Chu Yujie had already applied medicine to him and was wiping his slender fingers with a handkerchief.
Seeing him ask this, Chu Yujie looked at him.
"Your Highness, scolding and beating are merely a means of making you realize your mistakes. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to be scolded and beaten just because you've done something wrong. If you already know you've done something wrong and are willing to correct it, then you're already excellent. Why would I need to scold you again?"
Chu Yujie smiled gently at the little prince, "Don't you think so?"
Feng Yuxiao felt a little uncomfortable.
The teacher is so nice.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he continued, "Well, what if everyone thinks I've done something wrong, but I know I'm not wrong? Teacher, what do you think I should do?"
He stared at Chu Yujie's handsome face with a confused look in his eyes.
He murmured, "I feel that I should stick to my own position. Even if others think I'm a stubborn person who is always wrong, I should stick to what I believe is right and not give up easily..."
Having said this, he lowered his head and looked at his heart again, with a face full of coldness, discouragement and boredom.
He whispered, "But I'm really upset. I feel so exhausted. I'm not the one who benefits from it, so why should I worry about others? If they say I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. If they want me to correct it, then I'll correct it. I won't meddle in other people's business anymore. From now on, I'll just focus on my own affairs..."
After saying that, he buried his little face in his arms, his whole body showing a sense of sadness.
Chu Yujie sat on the stool, looking at the little prince with a face full of pity.
He didn't know what was going on in the little prince's heart. But just these few simple words were enough for him to understand the child's confusion, discouragement, and disappointment at the moment.
Their little prince is now in a worrying state.
He has an extremely high IQ, and actually understands things that some adults think he doesn't understand. He is very smart. But he is too young, so his determination is not strong enough, and he is easily frustrated and broken. His child's heart is very fragile and can be hurt easily.
Now that he is confused, discouraged and disappointed, what he wants most is affirmation.
Only by affirming him can he become cheerful and cheer up again.
Thinking of this, Chu Yujie leaned forward slightly and gazed tenderly at the little prince with red eyes.
"Your Highness, I don't know what it is that you insist on being right while others think you're wrong. This is your secret, and I won't ask. I want to tell you that as long as you clearly understand what you are doing, understand the consequences of this matter, and can take responsibility for these consequences, then you should bravely stick to being yourself and don't worry about what others say."
He smiled and said, "Because there are indeed many things in this world that seem completely wrong to others, but only the person involved knows that they have their reasons for doing so, and they have no choice but to do so. If your Highness is in the same situation right now, then you should follow your heart and not give up on a decision that you should have insisted on because of others' misunderstanding or obstruction. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future."
Feng Yuxiao looked at Chu Yujie with red eyes, "But...but I'm sad now and don't want to meddle in other people's business. What should I do?"
Chu Yujie smiled gently and said, "Then ask yourself, if you are sad now and ignore it, will it cause irreversible consequences in the future? If something bad happens, will you regret giving up so easily now?"
Feng Yuxiao pursed his lips and said nothing.
He glanced at Chu Yujie's face again and again, and after a while he lowered his head and said softly, "It won't lead to any irreversible consequences... It's just that it will be regrettable."
Chu Yujie smiled and said, "Then think carefully. Do you want to endure this hardship now, or do you want to regret it later? In short, your own happiness is what matters most."
Feng Yuxiao nodded obediently.
He lay quietly on the couch, gazing at the blue sky outside the window. He didn't want to study or talk, he just wanted to be in a daze for a while, immersed in his own little emotions.
He was really sad.
Chu Yujie covered him with a thin blanket and stayed with him quietly.
Outside the study, Feng Changye had been standing in the corridor for a long time.
He frowned.
He heard the conversation between Xiao'er and Chu Yujie just now.
Xiao'er's words seemed to inadvertently confirm the mind-reading speculation, and Xiao'er seemed to really have a little secret that could not be told.
This made Xiao'er, who had been beaten, look even more pitiful.
Feng Changye raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling helpless and having a headache.
What secrets does Xiao'er have that he can't tell his father, the emperor, and his mother?
It has been like this since childhood.
When he was half a year old, he could already speak, but he was afraid of being seen as an oddball by everyone, so he kept pretending to be stupid. If his sister didn't speak, he wouldn't speak either.
Obviously his parents are the people closest to him, so what can't he tell them?
If he had told his parents those little secrets in advance, letting them know that there was a reason why he insisted on making Chu Yujie his brother-in-law, and it was not just because of Chu Yujie's beauty, how could the two of them have ended up in such a mess today?
Of course, he didn't want to blame everything that happened today on Xiao'er.
He admitted that his fault as a father was far greater than Xiao'er's.
After all, Xiao'er is a child, but he is not.
Xiao Er is a person who keeps secrets and is afraid that telling others will bring disaster. So he has always kept his mouth shut, which is normal, just like he never tells others about his mind reading ability.
But as a father, he didn't discover the secret of Xiao'er for such a long time. This was his dereliction of duty.
He stood quietly for a while, reflected on himself, then raised his hand and knocked on the study door.
When Chu Yujie saw him standing at the door, he quickly stood up and went to the door, kowtowed and saluted.
"I want to talk to Xiao'er for a while."
Feng Changye calmly gestured to Chu Yujie to go out and wait for a while, without taking his anger out on Chu Yujie.
He already knew that he had wronged Xiao'er, so naturally he would not blame another innocent person.
Chu Yujie retreated respectfully to the yard.
Feng Changye then walked into the study.
He closed the door and came to the couch.
"Xiao'er."
He sat on the small couch, looking down at his child who had his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
He intended to pierce the child's shell and asked directly, "Tell me, father, are you hiding a little secret? You are so obsessed with Chu Yujie. Is there something about him that only you can discover? You can't say it out loud, so you can only say that you like his beauty?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuxiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at him in panic!
