The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 1324 My rules are the most important, teaching is appropriate
Xie Chong, the military advisor standing behind Zhou Chen, reminded him quietly, "Your Highness, if you teach like this, the Yi clan will be in trouble."

Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "Since we are in Xizhou, the Yi family can no longer control us. In the palace, everything is done according to my rules."

Having said that, naturally no one else would have any objections, and Zhou Tianxing and other disciples also smiled happily.

In fact, they were all confused by the rules like this by Shi Yi, because they had never had such rules and etiquette before. The little sister's behavior made them seem like they had no manners. Although they all felt pity for this little sister who could not speak, they were still a little depressed.

Now that Zhou Chen said this, they were completely relieved. They were all military personnel and could not follow the etiquette of the Yi family.

"Eleven, after lunch, come to the study to find me."

Shiyi couldn't speak, but nodded happily, then left with Chengxi.

Seeing Zhou Chen staring at the departing Xi Shiyi, Xie Chong frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you worried about Miss Xi's aphasia?"

"Ah."

"The Yi family is the head of a prestigious family. Miss Yi must have consulted many famous doctors for her aphasia, but none of them could cure her. I think Miss Yi's aphasia is caused by a mental illness."

"I understand that heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine. Let's take our time."

Zhou Chen himself is a top doctor. Even if he doesn't know the plot, he can see what's wrong with Shi Yi. She was devastated because she suddenly lost her father.

If you want to cure her, you need psychological medicine, which also takes time. If she has lost her loved ones, then give her support again, and she will recover sooner or later.

In the afternoon, Shiyi obediently came to the study to find Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen waved his hand and asked Chengxi to go out, leaving only Shiyi.

"Eleven, although I nominally have ten disciples, I didn't have much teaching experience before you. Your senior brothers and sisters are different from you. They all learned the art of killing and fighting in the army, so you are my first disciple in the true sense. If you want to learn something, you can tell me directly. If I know it, I will do my best to teach you."

Shi Yi's face was confused. In her mind, when learning from her master, she would naturally learn whatever her master taught her. But if she was asked to express it herself, she really didn't know what to say.

So she made gestures to show that she would listen to her master.

Zhou Chen, of course, understood sign language. He smiled and said, "Don't be shy. What I am best at is naturally martial arts and the art of war, but you definitely don't want to learn these. I also have a basic understanding of music, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and the teachings of sages. Just tell me what you want to say."

Shi Yi frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and replied with sign language: "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine."

"Okay, let's start with the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. To learn the music, you need to go to the music room. This is my study room, so let's start with chess today."

Of course, Go exists in this world, and it has developed very well. Even ordinary people know about Go, and it is even more popular among prominent families.

As the daughter of the Yi family, Shi Yi was certainly familiar with Go, and she even had a pretty good level at it.

When she heard that Zhou Chen wanted to teach her how to play chess, she immediately smiled happily, then took the chessboard and chess pieces on her own initiative, sat opposite Zhou Chen, and began to learn chess.

The Go of this period is different from that of later generations, but Zhou Chen has already mastered it, so it is not a problem for him to teach him a certain era.

With a diligent, studious, intelligent and lovely student, the teaching time goes by quickly and an afternoon goes by very quickly.

Zhou Chen put away the chess pieces and said, "Okay, that's all for today. Come back to me tomorrow morning and I'll teach you how to write."

Although Shi Yi had learned to write, she still nodded happily. She liked sitting with Zhou Chen and listening to his teachings.

She really learned a lot from playing chess this afternoon. The master's chess style is changeable and she is no match for him at all. The master's patient teaching and explanation made her study very seriously.

After a slight bow, Shi Yi left Zhou Chen's study with her maid Cheng Xi.

After Zhou Chen finished his dinner, his military advisor Xie Chong came to him happily.

"Your Highness, I heard that you taught Miss Yu how to play chess today?"

"Well, Eleven is very smart and learns very quickly. I will ask her to come to me tomorrow to practice calligraphy, and I should take her to piano lessons in the afternoon."

Xie Chong smiled and said, "I was worried that Your Highness didn't know how to teach Miss Li, but it seems that my worry was unnecessary. It can be seen that Your Highness likes this disciple very much."

"Military Advisor, are you free?"

"what?"

"If the military advisor is free, he can go inspect the military camp with Xiaoyu and the others tomorrow. It just so happens that I have to teach Eleven during this period, so I don't have time to go."

Xie Chong's eyes widened immediately: "No, Your Highness, I am so old, you want me to inspect the military camp on your behalf?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "It saves you from teasing me for no reason."

"Ha ha……"

Xie Chong suddenly laughed, and laughed very happily.

"Your Highness, I have noticed that you have changed a lot these days, especially after you accepted Miss Yi as your apprentice. You even stopped inspecting the military camps. This would never have happened before."

In the past, Zhou Shengchen focused everything on military affairs. Even if he stayed in the palace, it was impossible for him not to go to the military camp all day. He would inspect the military camp every now and then, and in the early morning he would take his disciples and the palace soldiers to the martial arts field for training.

But in the past few days since he came back, he left all these things to his apprentice and himself, and he often went back to the library to read books, and even sat in meditation and read in the study, sometimes for half a day.

After accepting him as a disciple, he paid even more attention to this new disciple. He started formal teaching the next day and had a teaching plan.

Zhou Chen asked: "So what do you think of my changes, military advisor? Are they good or bad?"

"Of course it is."

Xie Chong answered without hesitation. Although he was sent by the previous emperor to monitor him, he had already established a deep friendship with Zhou Shengchen over the years and truly regarded Zhou Shengchen as a relative.

In the past, the young King Nanchen only had military affairs and protecting the people in his mind. He had almost no time for himself. All his affairs were official business. He never slacked off and always worked diligently for the people.

This is a good thing, and it is what the late emperor wanted to see, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw it. His Highness has sacrificed too much for the royal family and the world. He sincerely hopes that Zhou Shengchen can be happier and think more about himself.

He saw the recent changes in Zhou Chen and felt happy in his heart.

"Your Highness, since you are free, how about we play a game of chess?"

"Okay."

Zhou Chen did not refuse and started playing chess with Xie Chong. However, after a few moves, Xie Chong frowned.

"Why has your chess style changed so much from usual?"

"The military advisor said that I have changed recently, so isn't it normal for my chess style to change? I have read military books recently and gained a lot of insights, so I have a new understanding and insights into chess. The military advisor should pay attention to this."

After a while, Xie Chong held the chess piece in his hand but could not put it down for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh.

"I have lost. Your Highness's chess skills have improved a lot. I am no longer his opponent."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Military Advisor, you are too modest. I just changed my chess style suddenly and the Military Advisor didn't adapt to it."

Xie Chong shook his head slightly. This was partly the reason, but he could also see that Zhou Chen was always at ease during the game.

Time flies, and two days have passed. During these two days, Zhou Chen personally taught Shiyi, one lesson in the morning and one lesson in the afternoon.

In the evening, Shiyi would go to the library to organize books. Zhou Chen told her not to do so, but she insisted. Seeing that she enjoyed it, Zhou Chen did not stop her.

Today, Shiyi came to the study room happily, ready to have class with Zhou Chen.

Although she has been attending classes these days, she did not feel bored or tired at all. Instead, she was very happy.

The master was especially good to her. Even if she didn't learn well, the master would gently correct her and help her. Moreover, the master was so powerful and knew everything. No matter what she asked, the master could answer it. This made her admire him very much and she looked forward to learning from the master.

She felt that the days she spent studying with her master were the happiest days since she became aphasic, so she looked forward to it every day.

But when she came to the study today, Zhou Chen did not take her to class, but prepared to take her out.

"Eleven, you have been my disciple and have been in the palace for a few days, but you have never been to the military camp, and the king's army has never seen you. Today I will take you to the military camp and let the king's army get to know you."

Upon hearing this, Shiyi's face was filled with surprise. During the days since she came to Xizhou, apart from staying at the post station for two days, she had only been to the city wall once to watch the military parade, and had stayed in the palace for the rest of the time. That was why she was so happy when she learned that her master was going to take her to the military camp.

"Go back and get ready. It's cold outside, so wear more clothes."

Shi Yi nodded, then left the study in a hurry and went back to her yard to change her clothes.

Zhou Chen and his disciples were waiting at the gate of the palace. Soon, Shiyi came over, and Cheng Xi followed behind her.

Seeing Zhou Chen, Cheng Xi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I heard from the girl that you want to take her to the military camp, but she is a noble lady, so she can't..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "I know that Eleven is the daughter of the Yi family, but she is also a member of the royal palace now. It is only natural for me to take her to meet the royal army under my command."

"But……"

"No buts. In the palace, my words are the rules."

Zhou Chen interrupted Cheng Xi forcefully and said, "You don't have to follow me. Eleven will be taken care of by me and her brothers and sisters."

He didn't have any problem with Cheng Xi. He knew that Cheng Xi did everything for Shi Yi's sake, but with her around, Shi Yi couldn't let go.

Cheng Xi did not dare to disobey Zhou Chen's order. Instead, Hong Xiaoyu and others happily told Shi Yi that they would take good care of her.

In the end, Cheng Xi could only watch his girl leave the palace reluctantly, while Li Shiyi was particularly happy. She completely ignored Cheng Xi's sad face and even waved at her before leaving, leaving Cheng Xi with tears in her eyes.

In the past, when going to the military camp, they would ride directly on horseback, but this time, in order to take care of Shiyi, Zhou Chen specially arranged a carriage, and Zhou Chen accompanied Shiyi in the carriage.

On the way, Shiyi wanted to lift the curtain and look outside several times, but because Zhou Chen was there, she didn't dare to do so.

"Look if you want."

It was only when Zhou Chen spoke that she showed joy. She carefully lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside.

As an ancient capital, Xizhou is not as prosperous as Zhongzhou City, but it is not much different. It has the Nanchen Palace and can be said to be the safest city in the west. Therefore, the streets are bustling with people, and the current situation is also very interesting to watch.

Zhou Chen looked at the excited Shi Yi and said softly, "If you like, I'll take you to visit the downtown area of ​​Xizhou later."

Shi Yi let down the curtain, looked at Zhou Chen expectantly, and made a "OK" gesture with her hand.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Of course, I told you, the palace is different from your family, there are not so many rules. If you want, I will personally take you to visit Xizhou City. The night view of Xizhou is actually quite beautiful."

Shiyi nodded repeatedly, looking impatient.

Seeing her cute appearance, Zhou Chen smiled and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but then he realized that this was ancient times, so he controlled himself in time.

"I'll take you to meet Wang Jun today."

When Zhou Chen brought Shiyi to the military camp, Wang Jun was training. When the soldiers saw Zhou Chen and others, they worked harder and more seriously.

Shiyi followed Zhou Chen closely, not daring to move away. Zhou Chen deliberately slowed down his pace to let her look around.

After a tour, all the soldiers in the barracks already knew Shiyi and knew that she was the eleventh disciple of their commander, King Xiao Nanchen.

After staying in the military camp for half a day, Shiyi Li also met his brother Feng Li, and the two exchanged greetings again.

"It seems that His Highness is really good to you and brought you to the military camp personally. In this case, my brother will be completely relieved."

Li Feng saw that Zhou Chen was very good to his sister. He was a little worried at first, but now he is not worried at all. Instead, he told Shi Yi to learn more from the master, to be filial to the master, etc.

The well-behaved Xi Shiyi naturally obeyed her brother. It was not until the afternoon that she reluctantly said goodbye to Xi Feng and returned to the palace with Zhou Chen and others.

Today I went to the military camp outside the city and walked a long way. After returning to the palace, I felt very tired and went back to my room early to rest.

On this day, Zhou Chen taught the zither, and Shi Yi chose the ancient zither Changfeng, which was also the zither that the young King Nanchen often used in the past.

"Ding…………"

After Shi Yi finished discussing a piece of music, Zhou Chen commented: "Not bad, an improvement over last time, but there are still some areas that need attention..."

Zhou Chen teaches and Shi Yi learns, and the class goes by very quickly.

After the class, Zhou Chen said to Shi Yi, "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days. In Xizhou City, the curfew will be relaxed during the Spring Festival. Xizhou City will be very lively at night. Do you want to go out for a walk then?"

'May I? ’

Xi Shiyi looked expectant.

"Of course, I always keep my word. On New Year's Eve, I will take you around the city."

There is a curfew during this period. Even though there is the Nanchen King's Army in Xizhou City, the curfew is still very strict. The curfew usually starts from the first watch and ends at the fifth watch, which is roughly around eight or nine in the evening to four or five in the morning. During special holidays, it may be slightly delayed.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was the Spring Festival, the most important traditional Chinese festival. New Year's Eve is the day before the Spring Festival. According to the rules, everyone needs to stay up all night on this day, and the Nanchen Palace is no exception.

On New Year's Eve, everyone in the palace gathered together, had a meal together, and prepared to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

I have been in the Nanchen Palace for many years, but the number of times we have stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year in the palace is really very few. Most of the time, we stayed up all night in the military camp. It is very rare for us to gather together like today.

"Master..."

Hong Xiaoyu, as the eldest disciple, took the lead in toasting Zhou Chen and wishing him a happy new year. The other disciples followed closely behind, saying nice things with festive faces.

Zhou Chen also smiled and drank with them. In this ancient feudal society with strict hierarchy and numerous rules, such an atmosphere as that in the Nanchen Palace was really rare.

Everyone was very happy today, even the military advisor Xie Chong, who drank a little too much and was a little tipsy, but continued to clink glasses with others.

Normally everyone has military duties to attend to and rarely gets together to drink so freely, so today everyone was very happy and drank to their heart's content, and soon everyone was the drunkest.

Zhou Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and said, "I'll go to the library first and come back later."

Naturally, no one would have any objections.

Not long after Zhou Chen left, Shiyi also found an excuse to leave and went straight to the library.

"Come on, put on your clothes and I'll take you out."

Shiyi picked up the brocade cloak that had been prepared long ago, put it on tightly, then raised her little face and looked at Zhou Chen expectantly.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and handed her a white veiled hat: "Take this."

After Xi Shiyi put on her hat, Zhou Chen took her out of the palace through the back door. He was the owner of the palace, so naturally he could go out whenever he wanted.

Not long after they left, someone ran to Xie Chong to report. After hearing it, Xie Chong smiled slightly and didn't pay any attention. He had seen all the little actions of Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi at the previous banquet.

"It's rare that His Highness is so elegant, let them have some fun."

Zhou Chen and Xi Shiyi walked out of the palace. Xi Shiyi was very excited and asked Zhou Chen.

'Master, where are we going?'

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Today I will take you to the Kitchen City Gate. There is a Royal Kitchen Street there. It is very lively. Many royal chefs lived there in the past. It gathers rare treasures from all over the world. I will take you to taste them tonight."

'Yeah.'

Shiyi nodded happily. Although she was not a foodie, she was still very much looking forward to it after hearing what Zhou Chen said.

"Let's go."

Zhou Chen led the way, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen city gate.

Today is New Year's Eve. It is already dark, but the streets are still brightly lit and bustling with pedestrians and children everywhere.

When you come to the Imperial Kitchen Street in front of the Kitchen City, it is even more lively. Both sides of the road are lined with small stalls selling food, toys, lanterns, etc. It is really dazzling to see everything.
