"Why did Aunt Baoqing call me empress?" Although Xiyao was very happy to hear Baoqing's name, she still said this.
"The teacher in class taught me that the queen is the mother of the world and everyone should respect her, so I call her that." Bao Qing said.
"Which gentleman taught this? But Mr. Liu?" Xiyao asked as she led them to the dining hall. She decided to reward this female gentleman.
"It's Mr. Du who teaches calligraphy and painting classes," Baoqing said. Siqi glanced at Yunxi secretly.
"I mean, tomorrow..." Before she could finish her words, Si Qi suddenly said: "Aunt, where is Min'er?"
"She, there are many vassal kings who have come to the capital in the past two days. Many vassal kings have brought their youngest sons and daughters to the capital. Min'er got to know the youngest daughter of King Chu and went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion as a guest and had a meal.
Just came back." Xiyao said.
While they were talking, the dining hall had arrived. Xiyao asked Yunxi to go in first. Just as she was about to go in, she suddenly felt her skirt being gently pulled by someone. She lowered her head and saw Siqi standing next to her legs, and Siqi suddenly fell down.
He said to the ground: "Ouch!"
Xiyao knew that Siqi had something to say to her, so she immediately bent down to pick her up and said, "It's because the shoes on my feet were not worn properly, so I fell." Then she said to Zhiyi, "Go and get some to reduce the swelling.
Here comes the blood stasis removing plaster."
From Zhiyi's point of view, she could clearly see that nothing happened to Siqi's feet, and her heart suddenly trembled a little, and she agreed: "Yes, empress."
In just a few words, Xiyao gave way to Xiyi and others in a very normal manner, and ended up at the end.
Siqi whispered in her ear: "Aunt, just now my uncle said that Mr. Du teaches painting and calligraphy..., so he has decided to expel Mr. Du from the girls' school."
Xiyao was shocked! If she had said that she would reward Mr. Du just now, whether Yunxi publicly said that she would expel Mr. Du from the girls' school later, or said it secretly later, it would be a damage to her prestige; and
The possibility that Yunxi would not expel the girl named Du from the school because of her reward was almost zero. At most, he would wait a few months to save her face before taking action.
It has been more than four years since Yunxi succeeded to the throne. Even though his relationship with Xiyao is good, he is becoming more and more like an emperor. The reason why Baoqing is becoming more and more respectful to Yunxi is that he no longer calls him by his first name.
, in addition to getting older, it is also because she feels more and more what her father was like back then from Yunxi.
"Thank you Si Qi." Xiyao whispered.
"How can my nephew deserve this word of thanks from my aunt? I won't say anything more about it," Siqi said.
Xiyao said no more and walked into the house with Siqi in her arms.
At this time, Zhiyi came back with the 'swelling ointment'. Xiyao took the ointment from her hand and applied it on Siqi's feet. There were two types of ointments Zhiyi brought, one was a normal ointment for reducing swelling.
, an ointment that makes the skin look swollen.
After she put Siqi on the seat, Yunxi actually checked Siqi's feet, frowned and said, "Who gave you these shoes? Why are they so weak?"
"I wore it myself. When I was practicing martial arts in the afternoon, the person in front of me accidentally stepped on my right shoe, so I put the shoe back on myself," Siqi said.
Since Siqi said he wore it, Yunxi couldn't blame him. Just then, the people from the royal kitchen came to the door with food. Yunxi put Siqi down and returned to his seat to start eating.
After dinner, Yunxi stayed to talk to some of them today. He remembered what Siqi had said about practicing martial arts just now, and asked: "Baoqing, Siqi, Xianqin, do you three like the martial arts class?"
Martial arts class was another course Yunxi came up with in the second half of the year to add to the girls' school. In fact, at first he wanted them to learn martial arts, but he did not dare to add it for fear of causing impeachment from officials.
But then one time he heard Baoqing and the others chatting, and they mentioned that 80% of the students in girls' schools are the daughters of military commanders' families, while there are only seventeen daughters of civil servants' families in the three grades together.
Although the daughters of these military generals do not have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, many of them have learned some martial arts to a certain extent and will get up early every morning to practice.
Only then did Yunxi realize that there might not be many people who would object to the actual implementation of martial arts classes!
But Yunxi still did not dare to directly set up compulsory courses in martial arts. After all, there were seventeen daughters of literati officials. He asked Xiyao to open several elective courses in the girls' school, including martial arts.
For many daughters of military generals, other elective courses such as embroidery are a headache. It would be great if they could afford a needle to repair the holes in their clothes. Letting them learn embroidery is simply murdering them. See
After looking around, I found that there was also a martial arts class here, so I took it. So in the end, the martial arts class became the most popular elective course.
"I think the martial arts class is very good!" Bao Qing said: "Sir, he didn't start with the horse stance like I used to do when I watched Yun Zhi practice martial arts. Instead, he practiced various movements. They were also very beautiful movements, although the postures were a bit laborious.
, but I still like martial arts classes.”
'It seems that the martial arts class actually doesn't teach any useful martial arts, it just lets them practice showing off; but it doesn't matter, they can't go to the battlefield in the first place. The only real female generals who can be confirmed in history have ever fought in battle.
Qin Liangyu from the late Ming Dynasty, Yunxi thought.
"Uncle, the teacher in the martial arts class teaches various movements from the beginning to make it easier for us to learn, but the martial arts practiced in this way are useless, right?" Siqi said: "Many military generals who have practiced martial arts say this
It’s just a show. Even if Lian Jiazi uses the same strength as you, he can be knocked down in two or two. But I actually like this kind of martial arts class as much as Sister Baoqing."
Unlike the first two people, Xianqin firmly expressed his opposition to the martial arts class. "Brother, the martial arts you can practice in this way can't even compare to the showmanship of traveling in the world! Even if you finish learning in the end, my father originally cultivated
Martial arts masters can still knock me down in one go! What's the use of learning such martial arts! You should still learn some useful martial arts!"
She burst into tears suddenly. She thought in her heart: 'If only some of my sisters could learn useful martial arts back then, even if they still couldn't beat someone far away, they could commit suicide without being humiliated.'
Yunxi and Xiyao panicked. They did not immediately think of the Luxie Rebellion more than two years ago. They had no idea why Xianqin suddenly started crying. They hurriedly comforted her and asked her why she was crying. But Xianqin
