The next day, Xiao Rong first read the homework written by the two children, stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then handed Xi Chao a thousand-character text for her to read first, and turned to the third prince to explain to him the short paragraph of the Book of Rites to learn today.

"What is a woman's lack of talent is virtue?" Mu Jinming just followed Xiao Rong to read this short paragraph and asked.

The meaning of this sentence is that a woman has talent but does not show it in front of her husband, but shows humility and suppleness, which is where a woman's virtue lies. Therefore, it is said that a husband is virtuous, and a woman is virtuous. Xiao Rong explained: "The simple meaning can be understood as a literal meaning, as long as a woman understands the three from the four virtues is the best, and these three from the unmarried father, both married from the husband, the husband from the son, the four virtues are women's virtue, women's words, women's skills, women's appearance." ”

"Huh!" Before Xiao Rong could make a specific explanation, he heard a sneer, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Xi Chao who was full of mockery.

Xiao Rong was most taboo to be interrupted for no reason when he was speaking, frowned slightly, looked at the little girl sternly and asked, "Why is Her Royal Highness the princess smiling?" ”

Xi Chao put down a few pages of thousand-character texts that were not very interesting: "Many people think that women only need to understand the female rings, and women abide by the three obedience and four virtues, which is really ridiculous." "If it weren't for her father, she wouldn't have learned these useless things, and she wouldn't have used these useless poems, so it would be better to learn something useful.

Xiao Rong's face was unhappy when he heard this, the little girl was obviously laughing at the words of the saint, he couldn't tolerate the words of the saint who repented lightly, how could this be the most noble highness who was still a child.

"This is the etiquette, what is the pleasure!" Xiao Rong is an old-fashioned old man in his bones, and he believes that women should not study the subset of modern history like men, as long as they abide by their duties, they can teach their husbands and children at home, and understand what the use of those ups and downs can be.

Mu Jinming didn't understand why her sister spoke out against the teacher, and why the teacher suddenly became angry, the atmosphere between the two was very bad.

Xi Chao didn't care about Xiao Rong's anger, she didn't like this old-fashioned and inflexible teacher, and now she blamed herself for being wrong for a word, and asked with a sinking eye: "Then I am also a woman, why can I sit here and study?" ”

"Hmph, the princess is so impatient when she first starts reading." Xiao Rong dislikes casual and disobedient students the most, even the prince and princess who have always been noble.

"What's the use of reading this!" Xi Chao said disdainfully: "It's just a refutation of the previous explanation, isn't the sage's words wrong, it's just that men don't want to be compared to women, and it's just that women are not talented and virtuous, just to play with women on applause and vanity." I don't know why she just doesn't want to hear that women are inferior to men, why are men superior, and women have to beg for all to be low and small. She didn't know where the words in her head came from, but she decided that it was the truth.

"You, you, unreasonable!" Xiao Rong was very angry, he never expected that a girl who was only a little older would say such rebellious and insulting words, how could there be a little bit of upbringing that a princess should have.

"Hmph." Xi Chao didn't want to listen to the old-fashioned preaching, so he stood up and flicked his sleeves and turned around and left, saying in his heart You look down on women and don't want to teach well, why should I sit here and suffer such idleness.

"Stop!" Xiao Rong was confronted by a four-year-old girl for the first time, his face turned from red to blue, and he watched the little girl walk out of the room, not taking him as a teacher in his eyes at all.

"Vertical sons can't be taught!" Xiao Rong was so angry that his face turned blue, he wanted to invite the saint, he couldn't teach the princess, or ask for another master, he dared to speak out at a young age, and he was too old to pay it back.

Mu Jinming looked at the big and the small vindictive, and he couldn't interject, but he felt that his sister's words also made some sense, if it was really like what the teacher said, then why did his father let his sister go to school with him, alas, he was dizzy, and he didn't know who to listen to.

Xi Chao hurriedly walked out of the school, did not go back to his room, but entered the imperial study directly through the side door.

"Your Highness!" Li Desheng looked at the Xi Dynasty with a small face in surprise, why did he come to the imperial study at this time, wasn't he in class, could something have happened?

Xi Chao nodded at Li Desheng, sat behind his small desk, and flipped through the books he hadn't finished reading yesterday. This is specially found by the father, and it is the most suitable for the young Xi Dynasty to see.

Li Desheng was very discerning, asked someone to bring His Royal Highness's favorite refreshments, and then instructed a little eunuch to ask what happened, and when the emperor came back, he would have something to reply.

The early dynasty delayed for half an hour due to the matter, Mu Haoyu returned to the imperial study, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a small figure, strode over and hugged the villain with his big hand and smiled: "Chao'er." "I feel a lot heavier when I check it.

Xi Chao, who was held in his arms, couldn't read the book, his eyes turned to his father who was affectionately calling him, and he felt aggrieved for a while, and said: "I don't want to go to class anymore." ”

"What's wrong?" Mu Haoyu realized that this time was the time for the two children to go to class, "Who bullied his father's Xiaoxi Dynasty?" ”

"He looks down on women." Xi Chao complained hatefully: "What is said that a woman is not talented is virtuous!" ”

"He, who is he?" Mu Haoyu didn't understand who the little woman was referring to.

"Your Majesty, it's Lord Xiao." Li Desheng glanced at the angry little highness and was really funny, stepped forward to pick up the conversation, and briefly said what happened before.

"Just because of this little thing, Chao'er doesn't want to study?" Mu Haoyu frowned slightly, and pinched the tip of the nose of his little daughter who was puffing out her little face.

"No, it's that he was unreasonable first, does my father also want me to learn three obedience and four virtues, so why do you want me to follow the imperial brother to class?" Xi Chao looked very reasonable, and what he said made people laugh and cry.

"And what do you think?" Mu Haoyu cares very much about his little daughter's thoughts, and it is the first time that he can make Xiao Rong angry.

"Why should a woman be attached to a man?" Xi Chao expressed his opinion: "Women can be no worse than men, hmph, I hate people who look down on women the most." ”

"Huh." Mu Haoyu laughed after hearing this, men's inferior roots|sex|, probably only men know, they want women to catch them inside and out, but they can't sweep men's face and appear incompetent, except for etiquette, there is only this left. No wonder Xiao Rong is angry, the words of the youngest daughter are already shocking, although there have been capable women in history throughout the ages, but in the end, there are very few people who enjoy wealth. The minds of the people have long been ingrained, and if they disobey the words of the saints, it is an insult to the saints, and the results can be imagined.

"He also asked me to read a thousand-character text, what is there to learn from that thing, I know all the words on it." When Xi Chao saw his father, he began to tell her about her 'pain' these days.

"Then what do you say to learn?" For his youngest daughter Mu Haoyu is not blindly indulgent, he wants his youngest daughter to focus on cultivation like Ming'er, pampered in the deep palace does not understand the sinister hearts of people, how can she live arbitrarily and chic in the future.

Xi Chao thought for a while and moved his hand to index: "It's like the book that my father asks me to read now, it's okay to be interesting, just read those rigid rough ones, why waste so much time to learn." ”

"You, you're going to use the word rigid." Mu Haoyu listened to it for a while and was really funny, this little girl wanted to get a lot, and asked with a smile: "The ones you picked are all children's books, most of which are different from the facts, in order to let you know more words, the most important thing for you now is to start learning from the basics, the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text are all enlightenment books, how can you depict the scenery you will see in the future if you don't read it." ”

"No, I'll read what my father said a few times, so I don't have to waste time learning." Xi Chao argued: "And what he teaches is too rigid, I don't know how to be flexible, if you really learn like this, you will become a fool, what is the difference between being in it by the words of the saint and the frog at the bottom of the well." Although she had never learned what a frog at the bottom of a well was, she could immediately see the word in her mind and know what it meant.

"Ahem." Li Desheng was immediately happy when he heard His Royal Highness's arrangement of Lord Xiao's words, and he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had to cover up one or two with a cough, His Royal Highness really said that Lord Xiao was worthless, thinking that when the emperor was still the prince, he was taught by Lord Xiao, not that the emperor was also included.

"Ahem." The corners of Mu Haoyu's forehead twitched, he really didn't know what to say, he knew Xiao Rong's teaching method, although he was a little stereotyped, it would not be as bad as his little daughter said.

"He still can't teach me." As soon as Xi Chao saw that her father didn't squeak, she immediately added another sentence, and she didn't believe that her goal could not be achieved.

It really can't be taught, Mu Haoyu said secretly, first refuting the sage's remarks and then contradicting the teacher, he can't stand it personally, not to mention Xiao Rong, who has always been flaunted by the words of the sage.

"Chao'er, you have to know that most people think so, and women also regulate their virtues in this way, and your remarks are too harsh to be allowed to be in the world." Mu Haoyu said step by step: "Of course my father supports you, otherwise he wouldn't let you study with Ming'er, but you have to know that some things can only be understood and not spoken, unless you have the ability to change and let everyone recognize what you say, in order to truly compare with the saint." ”

Xi Chao is not an unreasonable person, she just got angry, lowered her head and whispered: "I know, I just know that I can't help but fight against it." The royal brother is studying, if he really listens to it, will he look down on women in the future? ”

Mu Haoyu was stunned, he never thought that this was really the case after the youngest daughter mentioned it, his original intention was to let the two children help each other, and the two could take care of each other in the future. A child is like a blank sheet of paper for you to draw on paper, and it is difficult to change the freeze frame in the future, which he does not want to see.

"You're right." Mu Haoyu decided to stand on his daughter's side, and he must not ruin the affection of the two children for the so-called saint's words.

"Father knows that Chao'er is the smartest." Mu Haoyu rubbed the top of his little daughter's hair and smiled.

"Then if I learn what he said in advance, will I be able to do what I want?" The Xi Dynasty still does not forget its purpose.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Haoyu asked her little daughter with a straight face.

"Read, the books I like, the books that my father picked." Xi Chao immediately replied that she didn't bother others.

"Okay." Mu Haoyu responded, his daughter has rarely been worried, she looks like a little adult, and she is very cute.

"Father is the best." Xi Chao was happy to bend his eyebrows.

"It's going to be a sycophant." Mu Haoyu smiled and pinched his little daughter's chubby little face.

With the permission of her father, Xi Chao no longer stayed in the imperial study to read, and took the book and went back to read it directly, she didn't want to see Old Man Xiao come to sue her, if she was afraid that the stubborn old man would not dare to say anything.

As soon as the class started, Xiao Rong stepped into the imperial study and complained: "Your Majesty, the princess wants to discipline him well, and the minister is powerless." He didn't specify what it was, he only vaguely pointed out, first, to accuse a four-year-old girl of something to show that he was not generous to bully the small, and second, the emperor must have known that there is no need to elaborate on this matter, and the emperor is taboo.

"Xiao Qing, I know that you are dissatisfied, Chao'er's words are indeed not considered, but I think it is rare to be able to put forward her own ideas, she is only four years old now, I asked her to study with Ming'er, first, I want her to learn something to know right and wrong, so that she can protect herself in the palace in the future, and second, I don't want to raise Chao'er like an ordinary princess." At the end of the conversation, the wise man will understand what he means.

Xiao Rong was stunned when he heard this, could it be that the emperor wanted to cultivate the princess like the prince, that, this, this, this......

"Xiao Qing will step down if he has nothing to do." Mu Haoyu has already made clear what he means, if Xiao Rong still has an opinion on the Xi Dynasty, then he can only invite another one.

"Yes, the minister retired." Xiao Rong suppressed the shock in his heart and withdrew from the imperial study, he wanted to go back and think about it, this burden is getting heavier and heavier.

The old ones have been sent away, and there is a small one here. Mu Haoyu beckoned to his son and said, "You can ask any questions." ”

Mu Jinming stayed in the pavilion and heard the previous conversation, he was not jealous but didn't understand: "Is my sister right?" The question is who he believes.

Mu Haoyu thought that his son would ask why the Xi Dynasty could be cultivated like a prince, but he didn't expect to ask this one first, so he explained: "What Xiao Qing said is not wrong, that is the deep-rooted concept of most people, and Chao'er is not wrong, even if a woman is not talented, there will be storms, you see that there are all such women in **, sometimes it also makes my father angry." ”

"Well, then you want to listen to both?" Mu Jinming still didn't quite understand.

"Ming'er, you have to understand what the majority of people think is just like what Xiao Qing said, and you also have to know the words of the minority, the two parties are indispensable, you have to learn to distinguish, sometimes the majority of people's views are not necessarily right, and the views of the minority can not be absolutely right or wrong, use your eyes to see and listen, and compare what you think is right and wrong, which will be of great help to you in the future."

Mu Haoyu looked at his youngest son's clear eyes, and admonished seriously: "Chao'er is your only sister, my father hopes that in the future, the two of you can support each other, trust each other, no one can separate you, you are each other's arms at the same time, your father can't protect you for a lifetime, you can only rely on yourself." ”

"Yes, father, the son will remember it." Mu Jinming replied solemnly.

"Okay, okay." The two children are very sensible, Mu Haoyu is very pleased, and hopes that they can go further and longer in the near future.

Mu Jinming asked what he wanted to know, took the book and ran to Xi Chao to study together.

"Li Desheng, go and prepare, and choose a good one." Mu Haoyu looked at the fold in his hand and commanded.

"Your Majesty, is it a little early?" Li Desheng understood what the emperor meant.

"It's not early, four or five years old is just the right time to practice martial arts." He knew that doing so would increase the burden on the two children, and it was just a matter of time before the children could adapt to it, and Mu Haoyu had his own plans.

"Yes, the minion will do it." Li Desheng bowed down and retreated, and went to the secret guard camp to select the two suitable teachers of His Highness.

Li Desheng is a close confidant of Mu Haoyu, don't look at him as a eunuch, his martial arts are indeed not weak, he is the head of the secret guard camp, the secret guard is set up to protect the people of the royal family, to be precise, to protect the safety of the emperor and the next heir. The two little highnesses were protected by secret guards.
