Feng Yuxiao looked at this interesting captain with a smile.
very good!
It would be interesting to have such a person as his teacher. He is not rigid, knows the limits and when to advance and retreat, and he doesn't use a scolding tone when explaining things. He likes it!
He stretched out his little hand and gently tugged at Chu Yujie's hair crown, saying in a baby voice, "Ai Qing, I actually understand what you said. Father also taught me before that the first thing to do as an emperor is to learn to restrain yourself. I understand."
Having said this obediently, he changed the subject, "But that's all I can say. Father himself is not restrained! He scolds the ministers whenever he wants, and dotes on Queen Mother whenever he wants. Which restrained emperor would dismiss the six concubines and let Queen Mother live with him in Taiji Palace? Father has never restrained himself, but that doesn't stop him from being a good emperor."
He held his chin with his small hand and said seriously, "So I think it's not that the emperor can't indulge himself, but it depends on whether the person he indulges himself with is worthy of his indulgence. Just like my mother, she is worthy of my father's indulgence. If he had restrained himself four years ago and not only doted on my mother, but had followed other emperors and run around to other concubines every day, how could my mother like him, and how could my sister and I be born?"
He pouted, "So I think, whether you're an emperor or a commoner, you should indulge yourself when you need to. You don't have to suppress your inner feelings too much. If you hold it back for too long, you'll go crazy. And when you need to be strict, you must be strict. You can't do anything that harms your country. The emperor is also a human being. What's wrong with having some small tempers and preferences?"
He looked at Chu Yujie's face again. "So, back to the point, what's wrong with a three-and-a-half-year-old child liking a good-looking older brother to be his tutor? I was so indulgent and playful at three and a half, but I might not be like this when I'm thirteen, right? So, my dear Chu, I want you to be my tutor. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of our family and country, it's fine!"
Chu Yujie stared blankly at the little prince in front of him who was only three and a half years old, and was deeply shocked!
Is this the future crown prince of Daning?
Despite being so young, he has such a clear understanding of things, even more so than the adults!
Could it be that this is really the reincarnation of a child prodigy who was born with a keen mind?
So excited...
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he was not qualified to be the Prince's tutor because he had not taken the imperial examination. But at this moment, seeing the little prince's intelligence and insight, he suddenly had an extremely strong desire to become the Prince's tutor!
He wants to be the prince's teacher!
How many ministers in the court dream of being able to personally teach such a smart child to grow up step by step, sit on the throne of the emperor, and rule the world!
Unfortunately... he doesn't deserve it.
Thinking of this, Chu Yujie suppressed the delusions that were stirring in his heart and bowed his head. "Your Highness is right. I was wrong to treat Your Highness as an ordinary three-year-old child. Your Highness's intelligence and wisdom far exceeded my expectations."
Feng Yuxiao smiled, "It's okay. Who among the ministers of our Great Ning Dynasty hasn't experienced the same complicated feelings as you right now? I am their nightmare on the road to becoming the Grand Tutor. I have ruthlessly shattered many of their hearts. I also know that they all secretly call me a little devil behind my back, hehehe!"
Chu Yujie looked at the cute and proud little prince and couldn't help laughing.
Such a clever little prince could indeed refute the teachers who wanted to discipline him, leaving them speechless and forcing them to leave with their faces covered.
Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for those ministers who wanted to be Taifu.
Feng Yuxiao stood up and said, "My dear Chu, wait a minute. I'll tell my father about this when I get back to the palace. Anyway, I'm so smart, it doesn't matter who teaches me. It won't affect my success! If that's the case, why don't I just choose someone who's good-looking and catches my eye? At least I'll have fun learning!"
Chu Yujie looked at the little prince helplessly, but he didn't dare to answer.
He looked up at Zhu Wuhuan and asked helplessly, "Empress, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes back and tells the Emperor about this, will the Emperor think that I have bewitched the Crown Prince and kill me in a rage?"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed, "Probably not. At most, I'll cause you a little trouble."
Feng Yuxiao also cutely reassured Chu Yujie, "Don't worry, my dear Chu, my father is very generous! He is the best emperor in the world! He won't chop off your head!"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled and lowered his head, rubbing his son's head lovingly, then signaled Chu Yujie to stand up.
She asked, "Captain Chu, you've been wandering overseas for the past few years. Did you stop taking the medicine the imperial physician ordered you to take? How is your health now?"
Chu Yujie bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although I was adrift at sea, I did bring enough medicinal herbs. However, precious herbs like the Tianshan Snow Lotus are hard to come by. So, I ran out of them while I was at sea, and the medicine I took was less potent, so I haven't fully recovered yet..."
He looked up at Zhu Wuhuan and said with a smile, "But now that I'm back in Daning, it's convenient for me to buy medicine. I bought some new medicine and mixed it up a couple of days ago, and I'm drinking it every day."
Zhu Wuhuan asked with a smile, "It seems Captain Chu has found quite a few treasures at sea. Does he have enough money to buy medicine like the Tianshan Snow Lotus? I was even thinking of asking the Emperor to give you some."
Chu Yujie nodded and smiled frankly, "Yes, there are many treasures on the sea. I have saved up some gold and silver, enough to buy medicine. From now on, I won't have to waste the money of the emperor and the queen anymore."
He said, "I still haven't been able to repay Your Majesty and Your Majesty for the medicine I drank in the palace. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will always remember it in my heart. I will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty and Your Majesty for the rest of my life and strive to repay your great kindness as soon as possible!"
Feng Yuxiao stood leaning against his mother's legs, looked at her, then at Chu Yujie, raised his hand and said, "Now is your chance to repay your father and mother! You can be their favorite son's tutor and teach me to be a successful person! Then, you can wait another ten years, marry their favorite little princess, and protect her for the rest of her life!"
He tilted his head and smiled at Chu Yujie, "Look, isn't it perfect? You've taken care of the two things they've been most concerned about and worried about in their lives, all in one go!"
Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but laugh and knocked his little head. "You, you, you look at your father, such a handsome man, every day, how come you are still so weak to beauty? Stop it, or your father will spank you."
She hugged the little guy against her chest, told him to shut up and stop talking, and then she chatted normally with Chu Yujie opposite her.
After chatting for a while and having said almost everything they wanted to say, Zhu Wuhuan said goodbye to him with a smile and prepared to leave.
Chu Yujie watched her turn around and kowtowed again.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness in recognizing me and saving me. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. You have changed my life. You are my lifelong benefactor."
"Don't say that."
Zhu Wuhuan looked back at him, her eyes gentle. "Captain Chu, you must believe in your own abilities. Even without me, you will eventually become a soaring roc in the sky. You were born to be extraordinary. You will not remain silent in a brothel your whole life."
Chu Yujie looked at Zhu Wuhuan, his eyes full of respect and gratitude.
No.
Regardless of whether he is an extraordinary person or not, regardless of whether he can make a name for himself with his own abilities, he will engrave his gratitude to the Empress into his bones and blood.
Because, if the Queen had not rescued him four years ago, even if he could struggle to fly to the sky on his own, he would not be who he is now.
