At this point, he suddenly had an idea and added, "Just like Father, keep your words short."
"Yes, that's right, but you still need to be careful about one thing."
"Where?" Hongxuan asked, puzzled.
“Think about how your third brother speaks,” Jiaming continued before Hongxuan could answer, or even give him time to think. “Isn’t the word order wrong? Does the listener have to rearrange the words to understand?”
Xiao Hongxuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded his little head. That was indeed the case.
“It’s good that you understand,” Jiaming advised Hongxuan: “Speak to your mother and your stepmother, or other people, well, let’s put it this way, besides your mother, there’s also your father. Learn from your third brother and speak like that.”
However, upon further reflection, he realized something was amiss and immediately denied it, saying, "No, you were quite logical when you spoke before, you just couldn't speak in long sentences. Forget it, just learn from your third brother, only say a few words and then pause, don't speak too long, you don't need to learn his inverted speech or anything like that."
Upon hearing this, Hongxuan nodded, "I understand."
"If you understand, you should do it well. Your mother is worried that if you perform too well and attract too much attention, people in the manor who don't like you will take action against you."
Having experienced the apocalypse, Jiaming didn't care whether children of that age should be learning or not. Instead, she tried her best to teach her children everything. In addition, Hongxuan's IQ and EQ were far higher than his peers, so she didn't hide many things from him.
Fortunately, she didn't forget to teach the little guy the principles of being a good person from a young age, which is to have principles.
Her experience in the apocalypse taught her that without principles and a bottom line to uphold, one's heart will be incredibly empty, and life will be aimless and hollow. She has seen many such people, for whom living is more painful than dying.
So even though Hongxuan was taught about the darkness of the world by Jiaming at a young age, he was not tainted by it. His bright smile still warmed people's hearts and was loved by his uncles who were friendly and respectful to each other in public but sabotaged each other in private.
Then, she repeated once again that there was no need to hide it from his father, the Fourth Master.
"Why is that?" the little guy asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Jiaming's reasoning was that the royal family was full of suspicion, and Hongxuan's honesty and frankness towards the Fourth Prince reduced the suspicion between father and son and increased their affection. Given the Fourth Prince's fondness for the little guy, their relationship would definitely remain good, and thus the little guy could live a better life.
Of course, she wouldn't say this to Hongxuan, because the implication would seem calculating.
She only said this to Hongxuan: "Your father is good to you, and people who are good to you always hope that you are doing well, or even better. Since that's the case, you shouldn't disappoint your father, try your best to make him more satisfied, and you shouldn't hide it from him. If he knew that you were hiding it from him, he would be unhappy."
Seeing Hongxuan deep in thought, she continued, "If someone you trust suddenly betrays you and keeps it from you, would you be happy?"
The little guy shook his head, "I'm not happy."
“You and your father get along very well, and your relationship is deep, definitely deeper than your relationship with someone you trust, right?” Before the little one could answer, Jiaming continued immediately: “Since you can be unhappy because someone you trust suddenly betrays you and keeps things from you, then your father, who has an even deeper relationship with you, will be even more unhappy because you keep things from him.”
This analogy made the little one understand even better, and he immediately said very firmly, "From now on, Xuan'er will never hide anything from Father, and will never make Father unhappy."
Although she achieved her goal, Jiaming didn't feel happy at all, and her heart started to ache again.
Honestly, he's so good to his father, the little guy is being too biased, even though he's his own son.
