Yao Niang sounded confident, but the first thing she did was completely different from what Gao Xuance had imagined. Her next topic was: "I'm pregnant now, and you're very busy. Why don't you let Cheng Yun go to the study room to study earlier? He has learned enough now, and he can't just stay at home like this all the time. It's not good."

Gao Xuance didn't take his son's affairs too seriously: "He is still young. Didn't the emperor say that we can go to the study room when we are six years old? There is still a year left, so let him have fun at home."

Even Gao Xuance himself entered the study at the age of six.

"Oh, there are exceptions to everything. I don't know how other people's sons are, but our son is so smart, he wants to go to school by himself." Yao Niang shook his hand and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Gao Xuance thought, could it be that Yao Niang wanted to use Cheng Yun's academic relationship to allow them to stay here smoothly?

But the chances of this strategy working are slim.

But he believed in Yao Niang, so he naturally took advantage of the court meeting to deliver the memorial with the chief historian of Prince Chen's Palace. After reading the memorial, Emperor Jianzhang personally called Gao Xuance to ask him about it. He was shocked to learn that Cheng Yun had already finished elementary school and even started studying "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Great Learning".

"I haven't summoned Ji'er for some time, and he has made such rapid progress."

Gao Xuance held up his hands and said, "I am helpless. His mother taught him personally before, but Luo is pregnant. So... please love your son. Grandfathers in the common people help to raise their grandchildren."

"Nonsense." Emperor Jianzhang laughed so hard. He liked the fact that Gao Xuance was so close to him the most.

"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. Now you are here to order me around. I will punish you carefully."

Gao Xuance laughed and said, "Father, please agree to my request."

"I agree to your request." Emperor Jianzhang nodded with a smile.

Gao Xuance tactfully took his leave, while Emperor Jianzhang continued to handle his official business. When he came out of the palace, he saw Concubine Li bringing soup. Gao Xuance quickly avoided her. He and Concubine Li were of similar age, but there was a difference in generation, so it was better for him to keep his distance from her.

But since Concubine Li was able to enter and leave Funing Palace freely, he roughly knew Concubine Li's current status in the emperor's mind.

Of course Concubine Li Gui also saw Gao Xuance. The Prince of Chen was young, handsome and very promising. It was said that he often practiced Taoism and his breath was fragrant. He used to be reserved, but now he looked ethereal. Wherever he walked, the young palace maids would blush secretly.

Gao Xuance had no time to care about Concubine Li Gui. He had already arranged for his son to enter the Shangshufang. When he heard that Gao Jian was looking for him, he was still trying to please her. "The princess is pregnant, and the prince has to study. I have to wait until the princess gives birth and has recovered before I can talk about the vassalage. Otherwise, who will be able to take responsibility if the princess gets pregnant?"

Gao Jian did not expect Gao Xuance to change his mind so quickly. He knew Gao Xuance very well. He knew that Gao Xuance was a man who loved adventure and excitement. Now he was not going to be a vassal, which was contrary to his plan.

So he pretended to persuade him, "In fact, as long as your memorial is submitted, His Majesty will definitely not agree. This is just to show our attitude."

"Okay, I'll consider it." Gao Xuance sent him out vaguely.

Gao Jian didn't dare to force him anymore, because he knew how shrewd Gao Xuance was. If he revealed any traces, it would arouse suspicion. The Prince of Chen was not an easy master to deal with.

Although the Fourth Prince still often stayed overnight at Mu Wantong's place, and usually went to the study alone even when she was not feeling well, there were two more women in the house, who were given by the Emperor himself. Unlike maids, Mu Wantong had to be on guard against them at all times.

Of the two ladies who came to the mansion, Madam Jia was better in terms of appearance, but she was kind-hearted by nature and did not argue about anything. She was also indifferent to fame and gain, and she would only stir up some snacks all day long and did not care about the Fourth Prince.

Lin was different. She put her mind to it. She bribed servants everywhere secretly and asked about the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince. This was something she could not tolerate.

But Mu Wantong is not Jia Nanfeng, who can do whatever he wants to anyone.

Just when she was worried, she heard that Prince Chen was ready to go to the study to study, and the emperor personally selected a study partner for him. When she saw Yao Niang again at the Royal Concubine's greeting room, she stroked her belly with one hand, looking very proud.

Even those who seldom talked to her before would now say, "After all, your Qi Ge'er is not much different from our Ji'er. We should start looking for a study partner in advance. Oh, I forgot. You don't need one. You might as well find one locally."

Cheng Yun was puzzled: "Mother, why can't Brother Qi go to the upper study with me?"

But Yao Niang looked embarrassed, while Mu Wantong was extremely angry.

"Okay, Chengyun, don't ask any more questions. Your mother will sew a book bag for you in a moment. You must study hard in the future so that you can be well-educated and share your father's worries in the future."

Cheng Yun nodded heavily: "Don't worry, mother, I will study hard. Father said that the emperor grandfather often comes to check, so I must not be lazy."

"Good boy, you are really ambitious." Yao Niang encouraged her son.

Concubine Hong heard about this as soon as she came out, and she also praised the four treasures of the study for several sets. Yao Niang was very arrogant all the way, and even unusually gentle. When Xu Qingrong came out, she said to Mu Wantong sourly: "The emperor's eldest grandson is good."

Unfortunately, she once gave birth to a son, but he died early. Otherwise, the emperor's eldest grandson would have been born from her belly.

Mu Wantong herself had been an orphan since childhood, so she doted on her two children very much. After being provoked by Yao Niang, and hearing that the Fourth Prince was going to be enfeoffed, she originally planned to obey, but she was extremely opposed.

The fourth prince didn't know why, and asked in confusion: "Didn't we agree to go to the vassal state last time? Stay away from the troubles in the capital and live our own lives?"

Mu Wantong shook her head, "Fourth brother, you are a prince. If you don't fight for power and throne, what does it matter when you go to a fiefdom? But our Qi Ge'er, he is still young, but he followed you to a fiefdom. In the future, he will not have a close relationship with the emperor and other uncles. When his generation comes, I'm afraid he will be like the Prince of Le'an. After the death of Concubine Jing, he was implicated by the Third Prince and the First Prince, and now he has been demoted to a commoner. It can be seen that if there is no one in the court, even if you go to a fiefdom far away, it will not guarantee your safety at all."

She knew the Fourth Prince very well and knew how to persuade him.

The Fourth Prince finally relented, and the memorial to his fiefdom was put on hold, left to gather dust in the study.

At this time, Yao Niang was already pregnant. Gao Xuance didn't know what method Yao Niang used, but the fourth brother, who had once crippled his legs in order to escape, was so stubborn that he refused to go to the vassal state this time.

He looked at Yao Niang with a magical feeling, and went up to her and kissed her: "You are my Holy Mother Yuanjun."
