All the servants had been sent away by the Queen, and now all those following were Yan Shiyue's men, and they didn't come either.
Jiushi was angry and made a fuss for a long time, but their people didn't come over and Qing Weilai was still standing in front of them.
Jiushi rushed forward like a calf. Qing Weilai grabbed one of them, and the other ran to the water. Qing Weilai slid lightly and picked him up in his hand, scolding: "Don't do this!"
Before he could utter a word, the Tenth Prince raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
Emperor Ming Yan's face darkened and he was about to go downstairs.
Yan Shiyue held him back: "Don't be anxious, Aye, wait and see."
She moved a few chairs to the window and sat down to watch slowly.
Qing Weilai got used to getting along with them in the past two days. Besides, he couldn't get angry with these two ancestors. He picked up one in each hand and jumped onto the tree, then turned a few circles and jumped down again. After doing this several times, Jiushi found it interesting and laughed out loud.
Jiaozi Nian Gao knew that Qing Weilai was one of them, and seeing that it was fun, he quickly ran up to him, holding out his arms: "Brother, give me a hug..."
Qing Weiliao knew that Jiuyi would be angry again after he put down Zhunzhun, so he said, "Wait a minute."
...
...
He turned around and told someone to bring a live chicken from the kitchen.
Children of this age were never allowed to play with this at home, so they were very curious and watched the chicken walk around proudly with its head held high.
Then Qing Weiliao said to them: "Do you know why you are not allowed to go fishing? Because it is dangerous near the water. Do you know what danger is?"
He asked Jie'er and a few others to stop and gently throw the chicken into the water.
He threw it very far away. The chicken screamed and flapped its wings but couldn't get ashore. After a while, it slowly stopped moving.
Jiaozi and Nian Gao are at an age where they like to play with older kids, so they all stood next to Jie'er and watched with wide eyes.
Zhen'er was obviously very interested as well, but he stood quite far away and very straight, with only a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Mi'er also knew to stand further away, but it was obvious that her family didn't supervise her too much. She had a very expressive expression and even let out a wow.
Ninety was completely unafraid and didn't even think about caring about others. He just rushed forward. If he wanted to get closer and see more clearly, he had to hold Qingwei one in each hand.
Until the chicken died, even though they seemed to understand what was going on, they were still instinctively afraid. Little Nian Gao started to twitch, Jiaozi subconsciously hugged her, and Jie'er was stunned for a moment, then she covered her eyes very sensibly.
Jiushi also came to his senses. After being silent for a long time, he turned around and threw himself into Qing Wei's arms: "Call him back quickly, call him back quickly!"
"You can't come back," Qing Weiliao said in a deep voice, "Do you understand now? Water is a very scary thing. If you fall into the water when you are still a child, no matter how hard you try, you can't come back, and you will never see your father, mother, and grandmother again."
He burst into tears with a loud bang.
But after crying and being coaxed, he became obedient and would do the horse stance obediently when asked to do so.
A few people played for an hour before Qing Weiliao took his people away.
Emperor Ming Yan and his two companions watched the entire process from the pavilion before returning and sitting down.
Children of the royal family all start learning at the age of three and enter formal school at the age of five. By that age, they should at least be able to recite the Thousand Character Classic.
But nine and ten haven't learned anything yet.
In fact, they are not "bad". They don't have this concept at all at this time. They just don't understand. It is obvious that the people who followed them did not teach them.
They are only two or three months away from turning four. It is a bit early for such a young child to say that they are disrespectful to teachers and elders. They don’t even know what “teacher” and “elder” are!
Emperor Ming Yan couldn't help but ponder.
Nine and Ten were sons he had in his old age, and they were born to the queen, which made him feel very sad.
The Queen Mother said that the twins were weak and should go to school slowly, and he did not stop them, but now... he could already see bad signs. As princes, they were not required to be well-educated, but they must be good people, and could no longer follow a group of servants. The servants were afraid to discipline them, and the good children grew up crooked.
Jie'er is a very good teacher. He is gentle, elegant and upright, and has the demeanor of an elder brother. It is a sign of prosperity that the emperor's eldest grandson can be taught like this.
Yan Shiyue said to Emperor Ming Yan in a serious tone, "Father, you are such a kind father. Look how much you have spoiled me! Jiulang and Shilang are still young, so it's not too late to teach them. Don't spoil them like me. When I grow up, I always make you angry! It's too late to regret it now!"
Emperor Mingyan was amused by her and slapped her casually, saying, "The Queen Mother dotes on him very much. Take advantage of this time in the palace to teach him a lesson. When we return to the palace, I will tell the Queen Mother that it is time for him to go to school."
He glanced at her and said, "How about I leave this matter to you?"
“No, no,” Yan Shiyue shook her hands, “I can’t even take care of myself. In our family, we have A Jing and A Yang for literature, and A Jing and the disciples for martial arts. I usually don’t dare to speak, for fear of misleading my children.”
Emperor Mingyan was happy: "Okay, you are quite self-aware!"
The Fourth Prince was standing nearby, watching the two's half-joking conversation.
To be honest, other things are fine, but the emperor's eldest grandson is involved, and Jiushi has a noble status. This job is really difficult to take. If you do it well, you will get no credit, but if you do it badly, you will be severely punished.
But at this point, the fourth prince could only bow and say, "Father, please leave this matter to your son!"
“No!” Before Emperor Mingyan could say anything, Yan Shiyue refused: “If I give it to you and teach you to be like Zhen’er, do you believe that the Queen Mother will beat you with a cane when she returns to the palace?”
Emperor Mingyan said, "What's wrong with Zhen'er? I think he's pretty good!"
"He's too rule-bound!" Yan Shiyue said, "He's only this young, but he's been taught by his fourth brother like an old man, too rigid and too timid to do anything out of the ordinary. What's the fun in life?"
Emperor Mingyan glared at her and said, "Why is it not fun? It doesn't matter if you teach well or not! You just have so many problems!"
"Oh," Yan Shiyue said, "What I mean is that people can follow the rules, but they should not let the rules restrict them. In other words, while following the rules, they can still have their own ideas. For example, Jie'er is like this, but Zhen'er is completely restricted by the rules and dares not do anything. The rules are too strict, so pitiful!"
Emperor Mingyan nodded: "Yes, Silang is too strict about rules!"
He pondered and glanced at the book on the desk.
Yan Shiyue is actually a very responsible person. Even if she is extremely bad at something, such as studying, if she is really asked to do it, she will try her best to do it well.
Emperor Ming Yan said, "Including Zhen'er, I'll leave everything to you while you're in the palace! If you can't teach him well, you'll be the one to blame!"
Yan Shiyue: “…”
Okay, he’s my own brother, my own nephew, my own children… they are already naughty kids at the age of seven or eight, so just teach them.
The three of them walked down the bridge pavilion while talking.
After sending Emperor Mingyan back, Yan Shiyue said to him, "Zhen'er will follow me. Go back and tell Fourth Sister-in-law."
