"Why does the queen mother want to set up a girls' school?" The fourth prince Adi was eating sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root, his cheeks bulging.
The desserts made in the small kitchen today were very appetizing. Yue Wangshu couldn't help but eat a few more pieces and took a sip of milk tea. Yue Wangshu turned his face slightly and said, "Because I saw that little Adi can read, so I
It's so pitiful to think that there are many girls about your age who can't even recognize your words."
Adi took another small piece of five-color cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's very pitiful, but gentlemen all say that a woman should never leave the house or step out."
A trace of disgust flashed across Yue Wangshu's eyes, but his face still had a gentle smile: "Does what sir said must be right?"
Adi was stunned for a moment, "But...since ancient times, there has been no school for girls."
Yue Wangshu smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth, with a bit of disdain in his smile: "Since ancient times? Since ancient times, there have always been prime ministers. The Taizu of this dynasty deposed the prime minister. Could it be that Emperor Taizu was also wrong?
?!"
Adi quickly said seriously: "Taizu is an eternal wise king, of course Emperor Taizu can do no wrong!"
Yue Wangshu smiled and said: "In that case, sir, you are wrong."
Adi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"But you don't have to argue with the gentlemen, just know it in your heart." Yue Wangshu said in a persuasive manner, "There are a majority of ignorant people in the world. Some are really ignorant, and some are pretending to be ignorant. They are all a group of people who cannot be awakened."
Yue Wangshu stroked his child's still immature face, "Sir's knowledge cannot be underestimated, but you have to carefully consider whether their ideas are reasonable. If you can't tell the difference, read more and think more. When you grow up, you can
You will understand."
As the son of the queen, Adi was inevitably instilled by Confucian teachers with ideas that conformed to their ideals, in order to become a "benevolent king" in their minds.
But Yue Wangshu would not let his child be rounded and squashed by them.
Of course, Adi is still too young, and it is too early to play tricks with these teachers. Let him be vaccinated first, so that he can learn more, think more, and argue less.
Adi is just a seedling and needs careful cultivation before it can grow into a towering tree.
"Everyone has selfish motives. No matter how upright and impartial they are, they still have their own selfish motives. You need to look at it slowly and distinguish it carefully." Yue Wangshu said eloquently that in fact, she is not a person who can see through people's hearts.
It's just that in the past few years with Yan Laoliu, I have seen the ability of men to play with their own minds. None of these ministers and officials who can gain a foothold in the court is an economical lamp.
She only talks theoretically and has basically zero practical experience.
So I can only hope that my son will be more thoughtful and practice it slowly.
"Maybe you still don't understand what mother told you..." Yue Wangshu was a little annoyed. Did he say what he said was too profound and too confusing?
But Adi smiled and said, "I understand! The gentlemen have taught me so wholeheartedly because they all hope that I will be the prince and they hope to be the emperor's master so that they can be reused! This is their greatest ambition."
Yue Wangshu was stunned for a moment. I am only eight years old...
But then I thought about it, Kang Mazi was already an emperor at this age!
Eight years old is not too young.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go outside." Why is the imperial master no longer the imperial master? Your father is still alive and kicking.
Ah Di stopped laughing and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not stupid!"
Okay, I'm stupid.
"Careful, you can't grow taller just by being too narrow-minded!" Yue Wangshu saw that the boy had a lot of selfish ideas, but he didn't like it, so he couldn't help but poked him between the eyebrows.
Adi's face instantly became depressed.
Children all look forward to growing up, but with Goose's height, the fourth prince Adi is only slightly taller than Atang... Yan Liangshu and Yue Changying are both a full head taller than him!
Adi picked up the bowl of milk tea, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then whispered: "I will grow taller!"
Yue Wangshu couldn't help but smile. Even if he was thoughtful, he was still a child.
"Mother, when can I become the prince?" A Di looked at the blue clouds outside the window.
God, my little face looks a little dull.
Yue Wangshu sighed: "You are still young."
Adi lowered his head and kicked the table leg, "I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore!"
You are an eight-year-old child! Yue Wangshu complained in his heart.
But all he could say was: "Your father is in the prime of life, so naturally he is not in a hurry to establish a prince."
Adi said dullly: "But the book says that the crown prince is the foundation of the country."
"It is better to have no books than to believe in all the books." Yue Wangshu was particularly able to keep his composure, "You are only eight years old, there is no point in being anxious now."
Adi whispered: "The second brother has been divided into the vassal king, and the third brother... is no worse than me in terms of talent. Although the Great Yan Dynasty preferred to establish direct descendants, didn't my father still inherit the throne? Mother, I really
Worry……"
At such a young age, he can already think about this. The children of the royal family are precocious.
Obviously the harem is harmonious, and the princes can be regarded as Ditang and Xin, but in their hearts... there is still the intention of competing.
"Just calm down and concentrate on reading your book. Rushing for success will only be counterproductive. The late emperor's legitimate son was also established as a prince early, but he was extravagant and arrogant and was eventually deposed. Your father did not want to establish a prince early, so that's why
There are considerations in this regard." - Becoming a prince too early may not be a good thing. Of course, if the reserve position remains unresolved for a long time, it is naturally not a good thing either.
At the latest, it's just waiting for little Adi to grow up.
A Di was a little frustrated and unconvinced: "Father, do you think that if I become the prince, I won't be able to live in harmony with my two brothers?"
Yue Wangshu smiled and touched his angry face, "Okay, your father has eight hundred thoughts, how can I guess it? You just need to know that even if you are not established as a prince, you are far more powerful than
Your second and third brothers have more advantages. In that case, why should you be anxious? Just settle down and do what you should do."
Adi sighed like a little adult, "I'm just worried about you, Queen Mother."
"Me?" Yue Wangshu couldn't help laughing, "What do I have to worry about?"
Adi looked at his own mother speechlessly, and whispered: "You... are always so willful, you do whatever you want, and you don't care about your father's thoughts. What if your father is angry that day and doesn't like you?
Even if I want to destroy you, how can that be a good thing?"
Yue Wangshu made a dark line: Little bastard, you seem to be more worried about my position as queen than your position as crown prince!
"I'm not against you building a girls' school." After saying that, Adi whispered again, "It shouldn't be built anyway..."
Ah Di immediately raised his head again and said: "Queen Mother, since everything has been built, just leave the girls' school to the Ninth Princess to run it. Don't worry about it."...
"I know, I know!" Yue Wangshu was speechless. She specially made time today just to teach her son a lesson, but why did it happen the other way around?
