Chapter 298: Another apprentice
The little prince followed Xiao Mingyue to learn to paint every day, reciting some easy-to-understand poems, and made rapid progress, and Chen Xian also loved his only son even more!
Occasionally, I would take him to the countryside to ride horses and learn to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
Because the little prince was still young, Chen Xian specially asked Chen Li to choose a docile pony for the little prince, and asked the craftsman to make a small bow and arrow that could be easily pulled away for the little prince!
Chen Xian personally taught the little prince to ride a horse and draw a bow.
Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but be happy when she saw the scene of their father and son getting along well.
Chen Li saw that the little prince was favored by the emperor like this, except that he was the little prince, because he worshipped Xiao Mingyue as a teacher and learned a lot of knowledge from her.
Although he is now the emperor's brother-in-law, after all, he is not favored by his own flesh and blood, maybe he wants to get more favor from the emperor, or maybe he is a little jealous of the little prince, he is ready to worship Xiao Mingyue as a teacher.
He didn't like to read before, he only liked to dance with knives and guns, but he knew that if it weren't for the county lord's rich and intelligent intelligence, how could he surrender without a fight!
So Mao Sui recommended herself to Xiao Mingyue and asked her to accept herself and be her second student!
Seeing that Xiao Mingyue was sitting on a chair and watching the emperor ride a horse with the little prince, Chen Li hurriedly walked up to Xiao Mingyue, knelt down and pleaded: "Meet the county lord's sister, Li'er has something to ask for!" I beg the county lord's sister to fulfill it!"
Xiao Mingyue thought that Chen Li, the kid, had never begged for anything from herself, so she hurriedly helped Chen Li up, "Good boy, get up, let's just stand up and say anything if you have anything to say!"
Chen Li bit his lip and looked at Xiao Mingyue who was neither humble nor arrogant, "Sister County Lord, Li'er knows the importance of reading, and is deeply ashamed of her previous behavior of not liking to read, I hope that Sister County Lord can accept Li'er as a student, Li'er does not want to be able to learn to be rich like Sister County Lord, but only to be able to catch up with one-tenth of her sister, and she can share more worries for Your Majesty in the future!" Ask the county lord's sister to accept Li'er!" After speaking, he kowtowed to Xiao Mingyue like pounding garlic.
Xiao Mingyue smiled, feeling that this kid was also strange and motivated, how could she not agree!
"Hurry up! You kid is really outside, you call me a sister, call your majesty a brother, why do you need to be so polite! Since you want to study, you can come to Mingyue Tower to see me every day like a little prince! I'll teach you the same knowledge!" Xiao Mingyue's name is Chen Li'an, she is naturally willing to teach him, one student is also taught, and two are also taught.
What's more, a person like Chen Li, who is good at kung fu, will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future, and reading and literacy are indispensable.
"Thank you, Sister Lord! Thank you, Sister Lord!" Chen Li shouted excitedly.
Chen Xian took the little prince to ride a circle of horses, and when he came back, he saw Chen Li smiling and giving Xiao Mingyue tea, and asked the reason, only to know that he had worshiped the master and wanted to study.
couldn't help but look at Chen Li differently, "I didn't expect you to have an enlightened day, why do you want to study?" When you were in the General's Mansion before, didn't you hate the degree the most, why do you have to take the initiative to read now!? Chen Xian asked Chen Li.
Chen Liquan served tea as the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't laugh at Li'er, reading is very important, Li'er now knows, he was stupid before, and he doesn't like to read by nature, but now that I have seen the erudition of the county lord's sister, I know that reading is the most useful thing, although I am stupid, I don't want to catch up with the county lord's sister, I don't want to catch up with the civil officials in the court, just ask for knowledge!"
Chen Xian listened and shook his head disapprovingly, "Since you think so, then what are you going to read, just don't read!"
Chen Li was puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What does Your Majesty mean, do you also dislike Li'er for being stupid?"
Chen Xian laughed loudly and patted Chen Li's shoulder, "Silly boy! Widowhood means don't set your goals too low, and don't underestimate yourself! If you want to read, then read well, and you must read something! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of such a good teacher as your county lord's sister!"
When Chen Li heard this, he kowtowed to Chen Xian and Xiao Mingyue again with joy, "Your Majesty, Sister County Lord, don't worry, I will study hard and never let down your love!"
On the way back, Chen Xian asked Xiao Mingyue and taught two apprentices at the same time
Tired? "
Xiao Mingyue shook her head, smiled and said, "This student won't get tired of teaching a few more, didn't Confucius teach more than 3,600 people?" I'll only teach two, don't worry!"
……
Since then, Xiao Mingyue has taught the two of them according to their aptitude, for the little prince, she is kind and persuasive, so that the little prince is interested in reading, for Chen Li, she trains his understanding, and often inspires him with a poem.
As the days went by, the two of them achieved their own successes.
The little prince likes to read more and more, and "The Book of Songs" and "Analects" can come as soon as he opens his mouth!
Chen Li has a lot of experience with "Zuo Biography" and "Warring States Policy"!
For example, Xiao Mingyue will teach the little prince, "Be virtuous for politics, such as Beichen, live in its place and the stars arch over!"
Then he would tell the little prince everything he meant, and then ask the little prince for his understanding, and the little prince would often say: "To be a king, you must be virtuous, not kill!"
Xiao Mingyue smiled every time and told the little prince, "It's good to be a virtuous king, but if someone else bullies you!" Don't be patient! Learn to protect yourself!"
For Chen Li, in addition to strategy, what he learned was how to be loyal to the Lord and be a virtuous minister!
He was often told to him, "The world rises and falls!" The husband is responsible!"
And let him save himself three times a day! Seeking for others and not being faithful? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it?
The two of them are also diligent, and the homework assigned by Xiao Mingyue has never fallen behind!
Even if Xiao Mingyue gave each of them two days off every month, the two of them came to say goodbye as usual.
After a long time, Zhen Miaoxia also put a lot of heart, first, every time the little prince came back with a lot of things, His Majesty liked the little prince more and more.
Second, this will be very useful to the little prince in the future!
After leaving the little prince and Chen Li as students, although Xiao Mingyue is busy every day, she is also happy!
Other officials in the court also wanted to send their children and grandchildren into the palace for Xiao Mingyue to teach, but Xiao Mingyue refused, after all, she was not a female concubine, and it was not so easy to teach students.
In this way, after another three or four years, the little prince and Chen Li have been classmates, the two study together, and they are companions, and Chen Li is also responsible for the equestrian and fist and foot kung fu of the little prince.
For the little prince, Chen Li is still a big brother who talks about everything, and a good friend who cares about him.
But Zhen Miaoxia didn't like Chen Li, she felt that Chen Li was His Majesty's brother-in-law, which was not a good thing for her son.
Therefore, he often warned the little prince to stay away from Chen Li and not to be with him.
But the little prince didn't follow it, and he was still standing with Chen!
"Son, this Chen Li can be regarded as your elder, you can't call him big brother in the future, how rude! Besides, he's your father's henchman, and if you're not, won't he tell your father that he's gone?!"
Zhen Miaoxia was worried that her stupid son would suffer, and every time the warrior told him.
The little prince shook his head, disapproving, "How can Mother say that!" The county lord teacher told me to be kind to everyone, not to treat them differently, and to set up my brother He was very good to me! We study in the same place and see each other every day, how can we stay away from him? Mother, this is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!"
"You! How can you say that about Mother! Mother is also for your good! Silly boy! You are the prince of the future! You should look like a prince, don't always run around!" Zhen Miaoxia said angrily to the little prince.
"Oh, the son remembers, the mother can rest assured!"
After speaking, he took advantage of Zhen Miaoxia's inattention and ran out in a puff of smoke.
Zhen Miaoxia couldn't do anything about this child, so she always sighed, "This child is really!" was taught badly by Xiao Mingyue! And that Chen Li! They don't know what Ann's heart is!"
Erxi comforted from the side, "Don't worry, don't worry, the slave thinks that the little prince is much more lively, knows books and etiquette, and is very good!"
Zhen Miaoxia sighed lightly when she heard this, and said angrily: "Erxi, even you are working against me now, aren't you!" Talking to someone else too?!"
Erxi hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Niangniang forgives her sins, the slave doesn't mean that!"
Even when he wasn't in school, the little prince always liked to run to Mingyue Tower, he thought that Mingyue Tower's dim sum was delicious, Cai Wei and Qingwen could coax him to play, and the county lord teacher always told some good and interesting stories to himself.
"Teacher of the county lord!" The little prince walked briskly, "Pedal, pedal!" Ran over.
Xiao Mingyue was sitting in the attic looking at the scenery, thinking that time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, four years have passed, and it has been nearly ten years since she first entered the palace.
She was thinking about her aunt, Amber, her cousin and his wife, as well as Yunzhu, Xiao Jing, Xiao Wen and others.
When he saw the little prince coming, he smiled and asked him to come up.
"Teacher County Lord, what are you thinking?!" The little prince couldn't help but ask.
"I'm thinking about my past!"
"Your past? What's in it? Can you tell me?!"
Xiao Mingyue looked at the curious little prince and smiled: "That's a very long story, it's going to be told for a long time, you will know it in the history books in the future!" Isn't it a holiday today? Why are you here again?!"
"My mother was always nagging with me, and I didn't like to hear it, so I came!" The little prince pouted.
"Good! Ask Cai Wei to make you your favorite zongzi cake for a while, okay? "
"Good!"
"But you'll have to take it back and eat it with your mother!"
"Hmm...... That's okay too!"
After all, Zhen Miaoxia is the biological mother of the little prince, but the little prince is getting more and more distance from her, Xiao Mingyue feels that this is not good, and often tells the little prince to be filial to his mother and accompany his mother more.
