In Feiyu Pavilion, Xiao Yunxi was checking Lu Zhan's homework.

Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Yunxi's serious face, pursed his lips, and his cheeks turned a little pale because of nervousness.

Seeing his fearful look, Chun Xiao suppressed her smile and walked forward to pour him a glass of water. "Don't be afraid, Zhan'er. Drink some water."

Lu Zhan was very respectful to the maidservant beside Xiao Yunxi and whispered, "Thank you!"

The seven-year-old child is polite, knows when to advance and retreat, is able to endure hardships, and is willing to make progress. People in Feiyu Pavilion like him more and more.

Chunxiao and Xiahe even said privately that Zhan Ge'er's personality was very similar to that of the princess when she was a child, and it would be great if he was the princess's biological son.

Lu Zhan was drinking water in small sips when he heard Xiao Yunxi ask, "Do you know why your mother made you write horizontal, vertical, left, and right strokes repeatedly with sandbags tied to your hands?"

He immediately put down his teacup and replied respectfully: "I don't understand, but I believe in you. I will do whatever you teach me."

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyes to look at the "eldest son" in front of her and continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will teach you bad things?"

Lu Zhan looked up in surprise and said, "Why do you ask me this, mother? These days, my son's writing has become more and more stable. Although he is young, he knows how to distinguish between good and bad."

Xiao Yunxi smiled faintly when she heard this, "Starting today, you can practice complete characters for two hours every day. Now mother will teach you the Three Character Classic."

"Mother, why don't you wait until your brother and sister recover before you start studying together?"

"You have been waiting for several days. You don't need to wait any longer."

Ze Ge'er is of average talent and is often lazy and slacking off. Yuan Jie'er is even more spoiled and never comes to class early.

In their previous life, they were forced by her to practice calligraphy and study, which enabled them to achieve some success, but in the end they wished she were dead.

In this life, although she didn't like Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er, she never thought of targeting the two young children. She never treated the three children differently in academics. It was their own fault that they did not live up to expectations.

We can't let two bad saplings hinder Zhan Ge'er's growth.

"Let's get started. The first sentence is 'When people are born, they are good by nature. Natures are similar, but habits make them different.'"

Lu Zhan immediately sat up straight and followed Xiao Yunxi in reading word for word.

After explaining the meaning, Xiao Yunxi picked up the pen and wrote this sentence on the rice paper, "Write it again."

Lu Zhan held the pen with his wrist suspended and wrote stroke by stroke according to Xiao Yunxi's instructions.

Xiao Yunxi nodded in appreciation. Although her handwriting was a little immature, it was still pretty and neat. "You write very well."

Lu Zhan blushed and curled his lips, "Thank you for your teaching, mother."

Seeing his shy look, Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "There will be crystal pork elbow and old duck soup for lunch. You are still growing, so eat more. After lunch break, go to the yard with your aunt Xia He to practice boxing and kicking!"

"Ok!"

Lu Zhan's eyes were shining. Not only could he have meals with his mother, but he could also practice boxing with Aunt Xia He. His mother was so nice!

"My Lord, this is bad..."

Xia He ran in in a panic.

Chun Xiao quickly walked up to her and held her back, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Xia He bowed to Xiao Yunxi and said hurriedly, "Just now a maid came to report that Ze Ge'er had been complaining of a headache and stomachache since he woke up early, and he hasn't gotten up yet. The old lady sent for many doctors! The servant next to Ze Ge'er told the old lady that you made Ze Ge'er tired!"

"Yuanyang is coming to our yard. I'm afraid the old lady is going to attack you!"

As they were speaking, a little maid came to report that Yuanyang came to ask the princess to go to Shou'an Hall.

Chun Xiao said anxiously, "Princess, this person is not friendly!"

"Heh, she came with bad intentions, and your princess left with bad intentions too." Xiao Yunxi waved her hand indifferently, turned around and wanted to tell Lu Zhan to continue practicing calligraphy, but when she saw the worry in his eyes, she changed her mind.

"Brother Zhan, take your homework from these days and go to Shou'an Hall with your mother."

"Chunxiao, how long will it take for Doctor Chen to arrive?" Xiao Yunxi was not feeling well a few days ago, so she asked Doctor Chen to take her pulse. Today he happened to come for a follow-up visit.

"It should be soon. Tell the two maids that Doctor Chen has arrived. Ask him to take Ze'er's pulse and find out where he is feeling uncomfortable!"

"Xia He, take Yuan Yang with you and go get Ze Ge'er's homework from this period of time and take it with you."

After giving the order, Xiao Yunxi smiled at Lu Zhan and said, "Brother Zhan, today mother will teach you the second lesson, 'Hit the snake at its weakest point.'"

After saying that, Xiao Yunxi walked out.

Seeing his mother's calmness, Zhan Ge'er was no longer afraid and quickly followed her.

The atmosphere in Shou'an Hall was heavy.

The old lady's face was still gloomy, Lin Wan'er was crying beside her, and Ze Ge'er's maids and servants were still kneeling in the yard.

"Grandma, what happened?"

When Lu Jingting came back from court, he frowned immediately when he saw the situation in Shou'an Hall.

What's going on?

The old lady sighed helplessly and told Lu Jingting the reason.

"Jingting, have you ever heard of this method of practicing calligraphy outside?"

Lu Jingting lowered his eyes. Grand Tutor Xiao was the imperial tutor of three dynasties, a master of literature, and his calligraphy was famous throughout the world. He thought that there must be nothing wrong with him.

He glanced at Lin Wan'er inconspicuously and said, "My grandson has never heard of such a method."

Lin Wan'er looked up upon hearing this and said hastily, "Could it be that Mr. Jiang and the princess have colluded?"

Lu Jingting felt a flash of disgust in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Although not all of Grand Tutor Xiao's disciples are masters of calligraphy, from His Majesty and the princes to the masters of the Hanlin Academy, as long as they have received instruction from Grand Tutor Xiao, they all write beautiful and majestic characters."

As he spoke, Lu Jingting took out a letter from his bosom, "The cousin of Lord Wang from the Hanlin Academy is now a general under my father's command. This is a letter from home that he asked me to pass on."

The eight words "My brother personally reads this, and I respectfully present this to you" on the envelope were so beautiful and grand that even the illiterate Lin Wan'er couldn't find anything bad to say about them.

Lu Jingting looked at the silent old lady and Lin Wan'er, and continued, "Lord Wang is not a disciple of Grand Tutor Xiao, but he was fortunate enough to be taught a few things by Grand Tutor Xiao."

The old lady was shocked. She was not even a student, but she could write such beautiful characters with just some pointers!

Lin Wan'er almost crumpled the handkerchief in her hand and said with a stiff face, "But Ze'er is only five years old, and he complains about wrist pain every day. Now he has a headache so much that he can't even get out of bed. Yuan'er is the same. She cries with a frown every day and says she is afraid of going to Feiyu Pavilion to study..."

If it were in the past, Lu Jingting would have echoed and gone to trouble Xiao Yunxi, and then brought Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er back.

However, he is no longer the young boy he was six years ago.

These days, he asked around and found out that as long as Confucianism and history were mentioned, everyone, even the street vendors, knew that the Xiao family was the best in the world. Among the top ten literary masters in various countries, three were descendants of the Xiao family, and three were the closed disciples of Grand Master Xiao!

Xiao Yunxi, who was brought up with the meticulous care of Grand Tutor Xiao, naturally has the confidence to say that she is worthy of the position of Crown Princess!

It would be enough if Brother Jose and Sister Yuan could learn even a little bit from her.
