"If you only want the silver medal, I will let him take it out." Ike Shinnosuke said calmly.
Already lost? Can't get it out? Then give him the same piece with your own hands, without even scratching it. If one is missing, start over again until it is exactly the same as the original one.
"No, I'm not a child anymore."
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have touched Chi Janai's sensitive nerve again.
He said this as if he no longer had any need for items related to his parents, like souvenirs, like other connections...
Although this is also true, he does not care about those things, but it always reminds the Chi family and his wife of those missed and obliterated attachments, which were originally the innate attachment of children to their parents.
Children will always love their parents unconditionally, and even for some deep hurts, they will forgive again and again. They still think that their parents are the world, but love is also the warm water in which frogs are boiled.
If a child is easily coaxed again and again, the next time a mistake occurs, the parents will think that "just coax them away" and will habitually ignore their own mistakes.
When one day the child no longer forgives, or does not care at all, let alone forgive, some people are surprised to find that so much love has been wasted by themselves, and that so much love has also been wasted away by themselves.
Some people don't know how to reflect in the end, and will only think resentfully about why their children no longer love them without regrets, and what methods they should use to tame a child who can always forgive themselves.
He would not be glad that the Chi family and his wife were not the latter, because if the Chi family and his wife were such people, then it would be impossible for him to get along well with the Chi family and his wife, let alone being lucky or not.
"That's right..." Ikegana sighed, "It's still too late."
Hui Yuan Ai looked up at Chi Kanai's lonely face, hesitated for a moment, and still remained silent.
She wanted her godmother not to feel sad, but in that case, she didn't know whether it would be unfair to Brother Fei Chi.
She didn't know what happened to the Chi family over the years, and couldn't say anything more.
Chi Feichi pretended not to hear Chi Kanai's sigh and added, "Diamonds like the 'Midnight Jackdaw' passed down from our ancestors are suitable as toys for adults."
Subtext: He still collects the things given by his parents, but he has really just grown up and doesn't like the little silver medal anymore.
Chi Janai noticed that Haiyuan Ai was disturbed and felt a little depressed. He cheered up and followed Chi Feichi's topic, "By the way, Feichi, do you like that black diamond?"
Chi Feichi thought of the cold black diamond and said frankly, "I like it. Every time I see the impurities inside, I feel like I have seen a mysterious and mysterious universe."
"This is why your grandmother collected the 'Midnight Jackdaw'. If it weren't for the rich and mysterious impurities, it would be better to collect other colored diamonds with beautiful colors, or the best transparent diamonds with no impurities," Ikekana smiled.
He smiled and asked again, "Didn't you bring it over this time?"
Chi Feichi felt a little guilty when he thought of the black diamond that he had randomly thrown in the house and was put away by Koshimizu Nanatsuki, "No, I put it in the Miwa Town hut."
While talking, the guide led the four people to the audience hall.
In the audience hall, in addition to Isabella and Philip, there were also some servants and two members of the royal family.
The four members of the Chi family did not communicate anymore and saluted Isabella in a decent manner.
The etiquette is not complicated. Men bend slightly to bow or nod, and women only slightly bend their knees when curtsying. But here, you have to change your Japanese communication habits and speak English for the time being.
Isabella also smiled and nodded decently, and after a few brief greetings with the four of them, she stood up and invited the four of the Chi family to her private dining room for tea. The reason was, "Phillip's recent Chinese homework needs to be checked by the teacher. We can
I'm going to sit in the restaurant for a while. I also want to see if Philip is serious about his recent studies.
When it came to such a serious matter as the Crown Prince's studies, the two royal family members said goodbye and left in a sensible manner. Only the servants followed them to the restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the other servants served tea and went out, leaving only an elderly maid.
When Philip saw it, he completely let himself go. His body, which was sitting upright, tilted towards Chi Feichi, his eyes curled up with laughter, "Teacher, I..."
"Philip," Isabella reminded aloud, "I told you, no matter how happy you are, don't sit swaying."
Hui Yuan Ai raised his eyes and looked at Chi Feichi across the table.
Her brother always sits upright no matter where he sits. Isn't that why he was talked about like this?
The person who was talking about it might not be her godmother, but Jane... Thinking of Jane's talking, her mind started to pound again.
"Okay, Your Majesty..." Philip sat up helplessly, still eager to share, and turned to Chi Feichi and said, "Teacher, I told you about that annoying guy on the phone before, do you still remember?"
Isabella explained to the other three members of the Chi family, "They are the children of my husband's brother's family. Although Philip is the crown prince, he and his father are also one of the candidates for the throne. His father is not in good health. If Philip commits a crime,
What mistake was made? He was deemed not to have the ability to be the crown prince. I think the throne was his in the end. The child was very smart and had strong learning ability. Maybe I was too harsh on Philip before and he had a slight misunderstanding of Philip.
…”
Ikegana instantly understood that behind the 'little misunderstanding', it should be that the other party was deliberately attacking Philip. "Then what happened next? What did he do?"
"He's just a teenager. He's young and likes to express himself. He also has the ability to express himself," Isabella smiled. "During that time, Philip was often worried that he couldn't keep up with him."
"I'm not jealous of him. Although it makes me unhappy every time His Majesty praises him, his homework is indeed better than mine. Of course, I'm not worried that he will threaten me. Being a crown prince is so tiring..." Philip stopped
As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and thrust his chin forward, "I hate his smug look. Every time he is praised by His Majesty, he is like me now, with arrogance in his eyes... This is not an heir to the throne.
What you should do, Your Majesty would only do this to someone you hate."
Isabella smiled helplessly, "That child is indeed a proud person..."
"Arrogant." Chi Feichi corrected.
Isabella: "..."
Hey, she's trying to maintain the relaxed atmosphere of the conversation. Can we use the words as tactfully as possible?
"Yes, the teacher is right," Philip defended Chi Feichi's uprightness, "He is just arrogant, and an arrogant person is not suitable to be a king."
"So Fei Chi and you took advantage of his arrogance?" Isabella smiled, "He made a fool of himself in front of many people. The child was hit hard and he is still unwilling to see me.
"
Haibara Ai suddenly felt the smell of "Yingyang's strange aura", looked at each other and picked up the tea cup in a uniform manner.
Stay classy, drink tea, and watch a show.
"It's not about taking advantage. I just told Philip that since he hates his arrogance, he should learn the opposite advantage of his arrogance, humility." Chi Feichi looked at Philip, "We should accept and acknowledge the advantages of others over ourselves, and appropriately
Show your compliments, isn't that right, Philip?"
"Yes, that's what the teacher said, and I did that," Phillip nodded seriously, looked at Isabella calmly and said, "I acknowledge his merits from the bottom of my heart, and I also sincerely
I praised his performance, but I never thought that he would be so carried away that he would boast so much in front of everyone and be careless and unprepared. Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that he can perform well."
Hui Yuan Ai took another sip of tea and continued watching the show.
It is very interesting to watch a group of people speaking with British accents, arguing in a soothing and casual tone, or going back and forth in a strange manner.
Isabella looked at the seriousness and sincerity in Philip's eyes. She knew that Philip regarded his status as the 'Crown Prince' as a big trouble and wished that someone reliable could take over her position as Crown Prince. She could only smile helplessly and looked towards
Chi Feichi, "Is there really no other intention? A proud...well, an arrogant person. Even when his opponent is defeated, and repeatedly praises his merits, for a child, that does not seem to be a thing.
Good thing."
Ikegana drank tea silently.
Got it, her son is teaching Prince Philip the trick of ‘praising and killing’.
"Isn't this really a good thing?" Chi Feichi looked directly at Isabella, "Philip needs to be confident and understand that even if he is the crown prince, he cannot be better than others in everything. He and others
Likewise, they have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to acknowledge the advantages and disadvantages of oneself and others, and it is also important to accept these. In this era, or in other words, under the current situation of the royal family, what he needs now and in the future
What he does is not to make any great decisions, but just not to make mistakes. At the same time, this is not an easy task, so he does not need to care about whether his equestrian skills are worse than others. That is not what he should do.
Things you care about.”
Isabella wanted to nod in approval, but finally held back and looked to Phillip for confirmation, "Really..."
She had thought that Chi Feichi was teaching Phillip to flatter his opponent, and her words seemed like reproaches and questions, but she had no objection to it, and even the result Phillip achieved surprised her.
Now everyone thinks that Philip is humble and kind, while recognizing the merits of others, generous and confident. Compared with his proud opponent, Philip did a great job.
The method of killing without killing is also a skill that a crown prince needs to master.
The fundamental reason why she asked Chi Feichi to be Philip's teacher was not for Philip to learn Chinese. It would be nice to master a language, but what she valued most was Chi Feichi's influence on Philip.
Chi Feichi was very smart. He could see that her attitude towards Philip was not disgusting at first. It also made up for the things that she had not taken into account as a mother, allowing Philip to open up his heart and find the right way for them and their mother, which not only made things more comfortable for them,
Philip was willing to accept those rules. When there were outsiders, he would face her like a monarch instead of a mother. In private, the mother and son could have their own "secret time" and get along like an ordinary mother and son.
This kind of life that has both comes from the method proposed by Chi Feichi, and Chi Feichi can communicate well with Philip, and Philip is happy to accept the things he proposes.
What Chi Feichi said just now hit the nail on the head, making her feel a little like, "Mr. Chi really understands us." If she were not the queen, she should be able to feel like this.
The only thing Phillip needs to do well now and in the future is to 'make no mistakes'. This is what she is trying to do now and in the future. Because of this, whether there are outsiders present or not, she cannot say anything.
She needs someone like Chi Feichi to fill in what she cannot give Phillip, such as heart-to-heart conversations regardless of whether the words are appropriate or not.
She originally wanted Chi Feichi to be Philip's godfather...
Getting back to the subject, she originally thought it was a conspiracy to 'praise and kill', but she didn't expect Chi Feichi to consider what Phillip should do.
In this incident, Chi Feichi and Phillip didn't seem to take the child's pride to heart. Their mentality was far beyond that of the child, and the situation was bigger than she imagined.
She was suddenly very unwilling. Could Chi Feichi really not be Philip's godfather?
