Chapter 175 Support
The news of Yunxi teaching the younger generation spread like wildfire in the Marquis' Mansion.
When the prince heard this, he immediately threw away the things in his hands and ran towards the yard where Yunxi lived.
Before we even reached the courtyard gate, we heard Yunxi's soft and steady voice: "Children, when dealing with people, you must not only think about yourselves, but also think about others."
The prince strode into the courtyard, his face smiling like a flower: "Madam, you really put a lot of thought into this teaching!"
Yunxi saw the prince coming and bowed slightly, "Prince."
The children also saluted quickly: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The prince waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite!"
Then he walked a few steps to Yunxi. The prince stared at Yunxi with approval in his eyes and said, "Madam, I fully approve of the way you teach your children."
As he said this he patted his chest.
Yunxi raised her head and looked at the prince, her eyes full of gratitude: "Your Highness can support me like this, I feel much more at ease."
The prince laughed heartily: "Madam, just go ahead and teach me. If you encounter any difficulties, I will support you!"
Yunxi pursed her lips and nodded gently: "Your Highness trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
The prince put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the yard for a few steps. Then he said, "Madam's teaching method is trustworthy to me. From now on, I will follow this method!"
Yunxi replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
A touch of emotion flashed in Yunxi's eyes: "With the support of the prince, I am more confident that I can teach the children well."
The prince looked at the younger generations gathered around him, his eyes full of majesty and kindness: "You must listen carefully to my lady's words and don't let her down."
I saw this group of younger generations blinking their eyes and looking at the prince seriously.
The little girl, Li Wan, had two neatly combed buns and a pair of clear, bright eyes. She nodded obediently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely remember Madam's teachings."
The prince smiled with satisfaction, turned to Yunxi and said, "Madam, why don't we set up a reward mechanism? If the children do well, they will be rewarded."
After saying that, the prince folded his hands over his chest and looked at Yunxi expectantly.
Yunxi, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Highness, this is a very good plan."
At this moment, the chubby Li Rui came over. There was still some mud on his face, and his eyes were wide open. He tugged at the corner of the prince's clothes and asked, "Prince, what is the reward?"
The prince squatted down, reached out and touched Li Rui's head, and said with a smile: "If you can respect the elderly and love the young, and be diligent and studious within a month, I will reward you with a horse."
When Li Rui heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he almost jumped up with excitement, and said loudly: "Really?
Your Majesty, you are not allowed to regret it."
The prince stood up straight, put his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily: "My words are as good as gold."
Yunxi also came over with a smile, took Li Wan's hand, and said gently: "Wan girl, if you can help the sisters in the mansion solve a problem every day, in a month, I will make you a new set of clothes with my own hands."
Li Wan said happily, "Thank you, ma'am." Li Wan's face was filled with a happy smile, and her cheeks were rosy like a ripe apple.
In the days that followed, the prince was very worried. From time to time, he could be seen strolling around the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Sometimes, the prince would stand aside and watch the children read and practice calligraphy with a very focused look. If any child was lazy, the prince would frown and cough lightly, and the child would immediately perk up.
Once, Li Rui was playing with his friends and was seen by the prince.
The prince's face darkened and he strode over. Li Rui was so frightened that he stopped immediately, lowered his head and dared not say a word.
The prince said seriously: "Boy, have you forgotten what I said?
Be diligent and studious, but don't act like this." Li Rui nodded quickly and promised not to do it again.
Another day, Li Wan was helping her sisters in the mansion pack up their things and accidentally fell.
The prince happened to be passing by and quickly stepped forward to help her up, asking with concern: "Girl, are you hurt?"
Li Wan bit her lip and shook her head. The prince patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "Well done, keep it up."
In this way, the prince came every day, and the children were all very motivated, as everyone wanted to get a reward.
One day, as the prince walked into the courtyard, he saw Li Yi holding a book and reading seriously.
The prince stepped forward and asked softly, "Yier, what book are you reading?"
Li Yi quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, it's The Analects of Confucius."
Li Yi stood straight, with a firm gaze, and exuded a seriousness.
The prince nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, and patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "Good, keep up the good work."
A few days later, Yunxi was taking the children for a stroll in the garden, pointing at the flowers and plants as they walked, and explaining their habits in detail.
Yunxi was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was simply tied up in a bun with a simple silver hairpin inserted in it, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
She bent down, pointed to a beautiful peony, and said to the children, "This peony looks beautiful, but it is also very delicate and needs to be taken good care of."
The children gathered around her, listening intently.
The prince stood far away, with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes full of love for Yunxi and expectations for the children.
At this time, Lin Shi, who had two pigtails, ran over, saluted the prince, and then said crisply, "Prince."
The prince smiled and asked, "Shi girl, have you gained anything recently?"
Lin Shi smiled sweetly, revealing two cute dimples, and replied, "Your Highness, following Madam, I have learned a lot about life."
The prince looked at Yunxi, his eyes full of admiration, as if saying, "Madam, you have taught me well."
At the end of the month, everyone gathered together.
Li Rui's face flushed with excitement, and he danced with joy as he said, "Your Highness, I have taken good care of the elders in the mansion this month and helped my younger brothers with their lessons.
One time, my younger brothers didn’t do well in their homework, so I patiently explained it to them over and over again until my throat was almost smoking!
After saying that, he stuck out his tongue mischievously.
The prince laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I'll take you to choose a horse tomorrow."
Li Wan also came over, blinking her big eyes, and said, "Madam, I helped the sisters solve a lot of problems.
A sister accidentally broke her bracelet and cried so hard. I helped her find a way to fix it.
Another sister pricked her hand while embroidering, and I found medicine for her."
Yunxi smiled and gently touched Li Wan's head: "Then I will start making new clothes for you tomorrow."
The other children couldn't hold back and reported their achievements of this month.
Some said they learned several poems, some said they helped clean the yard, and some said they took care of sick friends.
The prince and Yunxi sat at the top, listening to the children chattering, their faces filled with joy.
The prince nodded continuously and said, "Good, good, they are all good children."
Yunxi stood aside, her eyes full of love.
At this moment, a servant came running to report: "Your Majesty, Madam, there is a distinguished guest outside."
The prince and Yunxi looked at each other, then stood up and went to greet him.
General Zhao was still in his military uniform. His burly figure revealed the dignity of a soldier. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his gaze was bright. The full beard made him look even more heroic.
He strode in, bowed, and said loudly, "Your Highness, I heard that your residence has been very busy lately, so I came to visit you."
The prince came forward with a smile, holding General Zhao's arms with both hands, and said, "Please come in, General. You've arrived just in time. Let's see the changes in the younger generation of our mansion together."
General Zhao followed them into the mansion. He glanced at the polite children and couldn't help but give them a thumbs-up. He exclaimed in admiration, "Your Highness, the Marquis's Mansion is truly full of talented people."
The prince puffed out his chest and said proudly, "This is all thanks to my wife's good teaching."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Yunxi.
Yunxi bowed slightly and smiled modestly: "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment."
Everyone took their seats in the hall, and the maids quickly served tea and snacks. General Zhao picked up the teacup, took a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "Your Highness, I don't have tea like this when I'm in the army."
The prince laughed heartily and said, "General, if you like it, I'll have someone send some to you later."
At this time, Li Yi, who had been standing aside, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, General Zhao, I have a favor to ask of you."
The prince looked at him with encouragement in his eyes: "Just say it."
Li Yi straightened his back and said with a firm look, "I want to learn the art of war from General Zhao and serve the country in the future."
The prince and General Zhao looked at each other. General Zhao nodded, patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "It's great that Yi'er has such an ambition."
The prince smiled and said, "Then I will agree."
When Li Yi heard this, his face flushed with excitement. He kowtowed several times to the prince and General Zhao, saying, "Thank you, prince, thank you, general."
Yunxi looked at this scene, her eyes full of relief and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The atmosphere in the hall became more lively. The children gathered around General Zhao and asked curiously about things in the army.
General Zhao did not hide anything and told the story of the battlefield vividly.
Li Rui blinked his big eyes and asked, "General, I heard that war is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid?"
General Zhao laughed heartily: "What are you afraid of? For the sake of our country and our people, we are not afraid of death!"
Lin Shi also came over and said timidly, "General, have you ever been injured?"
General Zhao rolled up his sleeves, revealing a scar on his arm: "Look, this is from the battle."
The children exclaimed in surprise.
Before he knew it, the sun was setting. General Zhao stood up and said goodbye: "Your Highness, I'm sorry to bother you today. We'll meet again another day."
The prince personally escorted General Zhao out of the palace: "Goodbye, General."
As the days passed, with the support of the prince and Yunxi's guidance, the younger generations of the Marquis' Mansion became more and more outstanding, and the Marquis' Mansion was full of vitality and hope.
