Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Yun Xi's eyes were determined and she made the decision without hesitation. She flashed and rushed towards her son like a gust of wind.

Soon, she arrived in front of the grand and solemn Prince's Palace. This palace was magnificent and covered a vast area, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling.

After entering the palace, Yun Xi saw her beloved son, Xiuqi, at a glance. Xiuqi was sitting at the table, concentrating on reading an ancient book.

He looked up when he heard footsteps. When his eyes met Yun Xi, he immediately showed a look of surprise. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully: "Mother! Why are you here?"

Looking at her son's increasingly standard etiquette and behavior, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart: "It's really different. A good teacher can really play such a significant role!" Thinking back to the past in Shu, she had never expected that Xiao Chenyi would one day inherit the throne, so her approach to Xiuqi's education was actually quite casual.

At that time, the Four Books and Five Classics were naturally the indispensable teaching content, but other than that, they just practiced calligraphy and learned painting.

Whenever Xiao Chenyi is free, he will personally teach Xiuqi to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.

As for other knowledge and skills, we teach whatever comes to mind.

After all, if Xiuqi only inherited Xiao Chenyi's throne in Shu in the future, then he would be the king of that corner of the country. There would be no one to control him, and no one would always keep a close eye on his every move.

Therefore, he does not need to be overly concerned with those cumbersome etiquette rules.

At that time, Yun Xi's only wish was that her two children could live freely and unrestrainedly, enjoying the fun of life to the fullest, and not be bound by the so-called red tape, thus losing the happiness and freedom they should have.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, “Man proposes, God disposes.”

Xiao Chenyi suddenly ascended the throne. If nothing unexpected happened, there was no doubt that Xiuqi would inherit the throne in the future.

For this reason, his training must be carried out in strict accordance with the model and standards for training a ruler of a country.

There is absolutely no room for negligence in this matter!

Yun Xi and Xiao Chenyi specially selected a husband for him.

Fortunately, Xiuqi was an extremely intelligent child. In addition, he was diligent, studious, and eager to learn. Whether it was literary attainments, state governance strategies, or military talents, he made amazing progress and rapid improvement in all aspects.

Even the teachers who taught him all praised and admired him highly.

Some gentlemen were impressed by his extraordinary talent and called him a genius that only appears once in a century; some gentlemen admired his perseverance and persistence and believed that this boy would become a great man in the future.

In short, Xiuqi's performance was truly eye-catching and made everyone have high hopes for him. They believed that in time, he would become a wise ruler and lead the country to prosperity.

Unfortunately, Xiuqi and his teachers all lived in the palace, and people outside knew nothing about these things.

"Xiuqi, do you want to study with me?" Yun Xi asked with concern.

She also recently realized that rich kids who don't have a tutor will be very lonely. Usually, servants are used to doing all the work, and when there is no one to serve them, they will be confused.

And after Xiuqi ascended the throne, there were fewer possible helpers. After all, the friendship between people who grew up together was different.

Xiu Qi was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No need!"

They were all so stupid! They couldn't keep up with his progress and were seriously holding him back.

He didn't want to waste his time studying with a bunch of idiots.

Yun Xi sighed, took his hand and said, "Xiu Qi, mother knows that you are smart and good at studying. But this world is not just about studying! You are still young now, you can concentrate on studying, but in a few years your father will let you participate in government affairs, and you will have to face a lot of people and things.

In the court, no matter right or wrong, you argue and I argue. Sometimes, even if you are right, you have to obey the wrong one because there are few supporters. Just like in a big family, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Although your father is the emperor and can suppress things by force, he can't suppress everything.

Your father has only been in the court for a short time, and the old forces in the court have long been deeply rooted. He cannot shake them all at once. Most of the time, he still has to weigh the various forces to prevent one from dominating.

My son, the number of ministers in the court who are loyal to your father alone can be counted on one hand!

Not only do you need to grow up as quickly as possible, you also need to cultivate new forces that know you, understand you, and are loyal to you, and support your father together.

The friendship that I had with you while studying and growing up together was the purest. The friendship that was developed after entering the court would have more plots and would not be so pure..."

Just like what happened in the previous life.

In those green and ignorant school days, the friendship between classmates was like a clear, pure spring, without any impurities or interference. The innocence and simplicity seemed to be born naturally. We studied hard together and discussed academic problems together; after class, we played and shared every bit of joy and sorrow in each other's lives.

However, after entering the society and working, in the workplace, which is full of competition and conflicts of interest, most of the friends we make are just superficial friends. They seem to be close on weekdays, but once key issues such as personal interests or career advancement are involved, this fragile friendship will collapse in an instant, revealing its hypocritical nature.

Xiuqi frowned slightly and stared ahead. After a long silence, he finally nodded slowly and said softly, "Yes, Xiuqi understands. Everything is up to you, mother. However, Xiuqi still has a small wish in his heart, which is to be able to personally choose his study partners."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Yun Xi with expectant eyes.

Yun Xi couldn't help but smile after hearing this. She reached out her hand and gently pinched Xiu Qi's pink face, which still had a little baby fat, and said gently, "Mother knows that my son is the most sensible!"

Xiuqi felt a little embarrassed when his mother pinched him. His fair ears instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.

He quickly stretched out his hand to stop his mother's action, muttering: "Mom, Xiuqi is now a grown-up, please don't treat me like a child anymore..."

However, Yun Xi did not stop what she was doing, but laughed even louder.

She used both hands to rub Xiuqi's cheeks vigorously, deforming his originally delicate facial features and turning him into a cute little bun.

Seeing Xiu Qi like this, Yun Xi smiled happily and said, "Silly boy, how old are you? In my mother's eyes, no matter how old my son is, he will always be a child who needs care. Haven't you ever heard of this saying?"
