Is it a bit hasty to put a one-year-old through such rigorous training?
[Grandmother, please reconsider! Isn't this like pulling up seedlings to help them grow?!]
Yun Duoduo shook her head, her two light eyebrows furrowing together, unwilling to accept this reality.
She ran her fingers through her already sparse hair.
She has very mixed feelings right now. She wants to become stronger and has the power to protect herself and those around her, but the thought of the hardships she has to endure in martial arts training makes her scalp tingle.
It's not that she doesn't want to learn or work hard; she just wants to postpone her studies.
She recalled that when she was studying medicine, although she had a talent for it, she still suffered a lot in the process of learning various pharmacological properties and dissecting mice.
"Grandmother, could you, could you wait until Duoduo is a little older?" Yun Duoduo pouted, looking aggrieved. She stretched out her little paw and tugged at the Empress Dowager's clothes.
She wants to live this pampered and carefree life for another two years.
"Wait? No, no, that won't do!"
"Duoduo, don't worry. You have extraordinary talent, so there's no problem for you to train with your grandmother. Besides, you have royal blood in your veins. Your grandmother and your father also started practicing martial arts when they were very young."
Listening to her grandmother's words, Yun Duoduo thought of how, in modern times, some pregnant women would play prenatal music for their babies to give them a head start in life.
"If you want to achieve success at a young age, you must start working hard from childhood." The Grandmother sighed. Although she felt sorry for Duoduo, she also understood that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. In the end, Duoduo still had to become strong on her own.
In this way, when she leaves this world after her death, she can leave in peace.
“Look, you talk and walk faster than Zhuangzhuang. That’s your natural advantage.” The Empress Dowager persuaded her granddaughter, trying to make her accept this from the bottom of her heart.
"Besides, you've seen your grandmother's internal energy cultivation, and she also said that your physique is indeed very good." Empress Dowager Nangong Rui glanced at Wang Fengru, who nodded repeatedly.
"Father, Father..."
Yun Duoduo wanted to ask her if her emperor father had agreed to her learning martial arts.
Her father loved her so much, he definitely couldn't bear to see her suffer so much and start learning martial arts at such a young age.
"Your father has already agreed," the Empress Dowager replied crisply.
Yun Duoduo was stunned; her hand, which was gripping the Empress Dowager's robe, stopped.
It was like a bolt from the blue! How could this be?!
How could Father agree?
Yun Duoduo's eyes were somewhat vacant.
"Duoduo, do you remember the time you were put in a sack? That was the night your father agreed to let you learn martial arts." The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Duoduo's reaction and knew that she understood, so she told her about what happened that day.
That day, after hearing that Yun Duoduo had been assassinated, Yun Beiye rushed to Fushuang Palace.
He originally thought he was capable of protecting his daughter's safety, and that she didn't need to learn martial arts to protect herself. He thought his daughter was too delicate and cute to endure the hardships of martial arts training and become a rough man.
He knew the hardships of learning martial arts; it required getting up early and working late, practicing stances, stances, and punches and kicks—not a single day could be missed.
If you miss even one day, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
It was so tough!
How could her precious daughter endure such hardship?!
He was conflicted the whole way, but there were constant assassinations in the palace, and he knew that he couldn't protect his daughter forever. When his daughter grew up, he would definitely have to hand over a lot of power to her.
When Duoduo has more power, there will definitely be more people who want to kill her.
Moreover, once Duoduo gets married, she will need to be even more capable of protecting herself.
Upon arriving at Fu Shuang Palace and seeing that his daughter was unharmed, he secretly resolved to help her improve her ability to protect herself. After much thought, he concluded that knowing martial arts and being able to identify poisons was the most effective and appropriate course of action.
It's better to have it yourself than to have it from someone else.
After making up his mind, he went to Shouchang Palace to ask his mother to teach him the Cloud Whip Technique.
He could have taught his daughter martial arts himself, but he just couldn't bring himself to supervise her practice.
Furthermore, with the affairs of the court being so busy, he could not guarantee that he would be able to find the time every day to diligently teach his daughter.
Moreover, his mother's whip techniques and mental cultivation methods are the most suitable for girls to learn, and are much more practical than his swordsmanship. The whip is also easier to carry, and it is extremely convenient to tuck it into a sleeve or wrap it around the waist, which is much more convenient than carrying a heavy sword.
The Empress Dowager had long wanted to teach her granddaughter martial arts, but Yun Beiye was afraid that Yun Duoduo wouldn't be able to endure the hardship, so she kept hesitating and refusing to agree.
When she saw that he had come to ask her in person, the Empress Dowager readily agreed.
Besides teaching Yun Duoduo martial arts, Yun Beiye also went to Langyue Pavilion to have Prince Ning, Yun Beiming, teach Yun Duoduo to distinguish between various herbs and poisons.
...
[Dad, how could you sell yourself out like that?]
Yun Duoduo was on the verge of tears. Her grandmother, who had always doted on her, was now being so heartless, as if she were no longer the loving grandmother she once knew.
So, does love disappear?
Yes, I've personally tested it, and it works.
[Oh dear, that's terrible. Her grandmother no longer loves her.]
Originally, she was not opposed to learning martial arts, and she was willing to endure the hardship. After all, one must be strong to succeed. To avoid assassinations in the palace, to face the harsh reality, and to find out who killed her mother, she had to protect her own life first. Learning martial arts was undoubtedly the best means and method.
Since this is reality, she might as well accept it.
Besides, she already has the secret manual of true qi, so learning martial arts probably isn't as difficult as she imagined!
Yun Duoduo fell into deep thought, unaware that Wang Fengru had already begun to close her eyes, take deep breaths, and regulate her breathing.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and not a sound could be heard.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Nangong Rui cooperated by straightening Yun Duoduo's small body so that she and Wang Fengru could sit facing each other. After gathering her energy, Wang Fengru slapped Yun Duoduo on the top of her head without hesitation.
Then, her palm slowly moved down, and Yun Duoduo felt comfortable all over, as if her internal organs had inhaled oxygen, and she began to breathe.
My whole body felt incredibly smooth and comfortable, as if all the blockages from before had been cleared up.
Yun Duoduo's eyes widened, and with a kick of her legs, her two little hands, which had been clenched into fists, suddenly opened up, as if she had a feeling of relief after defecating.
[Grandmother Wang, what is this? Is she transferring her inner energy to her?]
