Chapter 976 - Chapter 976 Learning

Chapter 976: Learning Chapter 976: Learning Editor: Atlas Studios After Little Treasure and the Second Prince settled down in Guangzhou, everyone in the capital had also come to a conclusion about their arrival and departure.

On behalf of the teachers, Fang Zhiyuan expressed that the Crown Prince’s classes could not be stopped for too long.

Therefore, if the Emperor could not let the Crown Prince return to the capital, they would go to Guangzhou.

Rong Xuan and Yan Du also agreed that the Crown Prince could not leave the capital for too long, or complications could arise.

Qi Xiuyuan agreed with a smile, indicating that the Crown Prince would definitely return to the capital before the new year.

Those in the know sitting below looked at each other and knew that the Emperor planned to fulfill the Crown Prince’s wish and let him stay in Guangzhou for a while.

It seemed like the Emperor was a doting father just like Prince Rong.

The few of them agreed helplessly.

As Fang Zhiyuan and the Left and Right Minister walked out together, Yan Du sighed and said, “I’m afraid it’s the country’s misfortune to have such a willful Crown Prince.” Fang Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

The Crown Prince had always been smart and obedient.

Although he was wrong to leave the capital on his own this time, it wasn’t so bad.

Yan Du’s words were too much.

He looked at him unhappily and was about to speak up for the Crown Prince when Rong Xuan said with a smile, “At eight years old, the Crown Prince is only just a child.

Not to mention that he has always been obedient, even if he has always been so naughty, one mustn’t make such a conclusion before he grows up.” Then, he smiled.

“In terms of being naughty, the naughtiness of all the princes combined is not even half of Prince Rong’s.

But look at him nowaEUR”he’s making huge contributions to the country.” The corners of Yan Du’s mouth twitched as he said, “He also has caused quite a lot of trouble.” Rong Xuan smiled faintly and said, “Nothing serious, though.” Fang Zhiyuan smiled as well.

“Besides, Prince Rong can solve his own problems.” Seeing that the two of them were standing on the Crown Prince’s side, Yan Du shook his head slightly.

“Jinyu, Zichuan, if the Crown Prince can change in the future, it’s fine.

If he doesn’t change his personality, we’ll have a lot of trouble.” Jinyu was Rong Xuan’s courtesy name, while Zichuan was Fang Zhiyuan’s courtesy name.

Seeing him address them by their courtesy name and not their official position, they knew that Yan Du was talking to them as a friend.

However, both Fang Zhiyuan and Rong Xuan only smiled.

Fang Zhiyuan had no other choice.

He was the Crown Prince’s Junior Tutor and his teacher.

If the Crown Prince successfully ascended to the throne, he would be the Emperor’s teacher.

If the Crown Prince failed, his entire clan would not be able to survive.

Besides, he really did not think that the Crown Prince was bad.

Yan Du was the Right Prime Minister and had not spent much time with the Crown Prince.

But having been with the Crown Prince day and night, Fang Zhiyuan knew that the child was smart, kind, and able to hold his own.

In his opinion, there was no one more suitable for the throne than him.

It was too rash to doubt his position just because the child ran out of the capital for fun.

On the other hand, Rong Xuan’s reason was much simpler.

The Emperor and Haoran both felt that the Crown Prince was good, and the Crown Prince had not made a huge mistake.

Besides, he was the Emperor’s eldest son.

Based on this alone, he could not allow anyone to threaten Little Treasure’s position as the Crown Prince.

Seeing that they were silent, Yan Du knew that the two of them did not agree with his point of view and stopped talking about it.

They went home separately after leaving the palace.

However, he was still a little dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and felt that it was too childish for him to leave the capital on his own.

At this moment, the Emperor was sitting in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility with a sigh.

He took the tea from the Empress’s hand and said, “Since Little Treasure wants to go out to see the world, let him stay in Guangzhou for a while.

He can come back after winter.

Otherwise, suppressing him will only make him yearn for the outside world.” Li Jinghua nodded eagerly.

She had been worried that the father and son would fall out over this matter.

Seeing that Qi Xiuyuan was not disappointed in his son, she was relieved.

“With Fourth Brother and Ah Ling taking care of him, I’m not worried.

I’ll get them to persuade him.

He’s always heeded the words of his Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt since he was young.” Qi Xiuyuan nodded and thought for a moment.

“Keep an eye on Concubine Zhao.

Although she doesn’t know where Little Treasure and the Second Prince went, she must have guessed that they’re not in the palace by now.

Don’t let the news spread.” Li Jinghua’s expression turned serious.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.

I won’t let any news spread from the harem to outside the palace.” Qi Xiuyuan sighed.

“As Little Treasure is used to living with Haoran’s family, I’m not worried.

I’m only worried about the Second Prince.

That child is only four years old and has only left his mother’s palace recently.

I wonder if he’s used to living in Guangzhou.” Li Jinghua suggested, “Why don’t we send his personal attendant to him?

Besides, he’s still young and needs the wet nurse to take care of him.” Qi Xiuyuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Since they were going to send someone to the Second Prince, they naturally also had to send one or two of Little Treasure’s personal attendants over.

Along with those people, their daily necessities were also sent to them.

In less than two days, three carriages quietly left the palace and headed south.

At this moment, the Second Prince, who the Emperor was worried about, was lying on the desk and whispering to Tiger Head.

Their two little heads were close to each other, and they laughed softly from time to time.

Meanwhile, Little Lion sat obediently on the chair and flipped through his picture book.

Little Treasure held a pen and wrote while Little Treasure and Little Bear buried their heads in their homework.

When Advisor Qian entered, he saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He first stood behind Little Treasure and Little Bear to look at their homework before standing beside the four little ones.

He patted their heads and said, “Put away the other things and take out ‘The Analects’.

I’ll teach you.” Little An and Little Lion obediently tidied up their desks.

Tiger Head and the Second Prince felt a little regretful, knowing that now they had to listen obediently.

Mu Yangling gave the children three days off and asked Little Bear to bring them around Guangzhou City to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Then, they would officially start classes.

Moreover, they had to make up for the missed classes.

Little Treasure was currently studying the strategy of governing the country.

Which meant he mostly studied history.

In addition, he also dabbled in the books of the other philosophers.

Little Bear was only briefly studying the Four Books now and was starting to dabble in the military books.

Little An was already studying the Four Books properly.

Unlike Little Bear who only had to know the general meaning and memorize the contents roughly, Little An had to study them carefully.

It was easier for the twins and the Second Prince.

Still in the early literacy stage, they were just taught a chapter from ‘The Analects’ every few days.

This way, the children’s teacher was overwhelmed with the task of teaching them all.

Previously, there were only four children and three teaching methods.

Since the twins were only just beginning to learn to read, he basically only needed to focus on Little Bear and Little An.

However, now that there were two more children, especially since Little Treasure’s classes were heavy in content, he naturally could not handle them alone.

Qi Haoran couldn’t find a good and safe teacher at the moment, so he found Advisor Qian.

No matter what, this person used to be a jinshi, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to teach a few children.

It was Advisor Qian’s turn to teach today.

The four little ones sat down obediently.

Advisor Qian looked at Little An and thought for a moment before saying, “Prince Fan, you’ve already learned everything I’m going to teach them.

If you don’t wish to listen, you can practice calligraphy and memorize books by yourself.” He originally wanted to ask him to do his homework, but seeing that he had been practicing calligraphy previously, it was obvious that he had already finished his homework.

Teaching an extremely smart student wasn’t easy on the teacher.

Little An smiled and said shyly, “Sir, you mentioned that it’s important to gain new insights through restudying old material.

I also want to listen to ‘The Analects’ again.

Who knows, I might be able to gain new insights this time?” Advisor Qian nodded approvingly.

The three youngest ones looked at Little An with starry eyes and felt that what he said sounded quite noble, but they didn’t really understand.

Their mother had told them that a good child should ask when they encountered something they didn’t understand.

Hence, Tiger Head and Little Lion, who thought of themselves as good children, asked together, “What is ‘gain new insights through restudying old material’?” Advisor Qian’s expression darkened slightly as he asked, “Didn’t I just teach you ‘Analects of Confucius Book 2’ the day before yesterday?
