The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Tianyuan Dynasty, inside the Queen's Palace.

The current queen was leaning on a yellow brocade cushion, next to a small square table with a plate of crystal-like grapes on it. The queen ate slowly, one by one, with a smile on her beautiful face, and this faint smile seemed to warm up the whole room.

"The prince is here," a eunuch's voice came from outside.

Following the eunuch's voice, Yuan Ruiyuan stepped into the room, bowed to the queen, and said, "I hope my mother is well. I went to Linping for my father to inspect recently, and I haven't visited her for a long time."

The queen straightened up quickly, grabbed Yuan Ruiyuan's hand, looked him up and down carefully, and said happily: "I haven't seen you for a few days, my son has grown taller. Sit down and have a good rest."

Then, the Queen said to the side, "Rong Pei, bring up the pineapple cakes and osmanthus cakes that we made this morning."

Rong Pei looked at the Queen and the Crown Prince in front of her, and said with a smile, "Hey," and then leaned down.

Yuan Ruiyuan felt warm in his heart when he heard his mother's words. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "Mother, I am not a child anymore. Every time I see you, I feel like I haven't eaten for several days."

The queen listened to Yuan Ruiyuan's words and smiled, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and said: "As a mother, everyone hopes that their children can eat more and be happier."

Rong Pei brought two plates of snacks into the room, looked at the situation in the room, and interrupted, "Your Highness, you don't know that the Queen got up before the Mao hour today and made these snacks."

Rong Pei's words made Yuan Ruiyuan happy. Yuan Ruiyuan hurriedly took the plate, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, put it in his mouth, and it melted in his mouth. The whole room seemed to be filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

Yuan Ruiyuan ate one by one, and the queen watched from the side and said to Rong Pei, "You all go down."

After Rong Pei and the maids were pushed away, the Queen continued, "A few days ago, you came to me eagerly and asked me to go and see the situation in the Duke of Song's mansion. I did everything you asked. For this, I gave all the milk away as a reward."

Yuan Ruiyuan looked at his mother's teasing face and said helplessly, "Mother, you think too much. Although the Duke of Song's Mansion is now in decline, its foundation and family background are still there. Before, I paid too little attention to the Duke of Song's Mansion. Fifth brother has been making more and more moves recently. If I am not mistaken, Uncle An should have surrendered to Yuan Ruiyin during this period."

When Yuan Ruiyuan mentioned Yuan Ruiyin, his face became heavy. Recently, more and more news came from Peilin and Jinyiwei, and Yuan Ruiyin's actions became more and more exaggerated. If it was just Yuan Ruiyin's own behavior, it would not be a big deal. However, after several consecutive events, he discovered that his father was secretly cleaning up the mess for Yuan Ruiyin.

The Queen stopped laughing and said, "Prince An has already chosen sides? I didn't realize that this playboy has also started to change his ways." Prince An always appeared cynical to others, causing people to believe that he was an uncle who only loved freedom and not imperial power.

But which prince in the capital is easy to deal with? Prince An's usual ridiculous behavior is just his disguise.

The Queen looked at Yuan Ruiyuan's frown and said with a smile, "Eat more cakes. I made too much today. I'll ask Rong Pei to pack some and send them to the East Palace for you later."

Her son, due to his status as the crown prince, was required to do everything to the best of his ability, and he lived too maturely at a young age. The queen felt distressed when she saw this.

On the second day after Mr. Yang entered the mansion, the old lady and Mrs. Xu had conveyed the message that the second and third young ladies had worked hard to study under Mr. Yang, and they did not need to pay their respects unless they had something else to do.

Wutong Courtyard and Linhu Courtyard are close to each other, so Yang Qi can read after breakfast. Yang Qi doesn't know Mr. Yang's class schedule, so he ate more this morning to prevent himself from being hungry during class.

When the time came, Jing Shan waited at the door and asked Yang Qi to prepare to go to Wutong Courtyard. In order for Yang Qi to study with Mr. Yang, He's mother had already prepared a wooden box with the four treasures of the study in it. These items were given to Yang Qi by Xu before, and Jing Shan was holding the wooden box at this time.

Yang Qi brought Jing Shan to Wutong Courtyard. Yang Lan was already waiting at the entrance. Like Yang Qi, Wen Qin, who followed behind Yang Lan, was also holding a big box. As soon as Yang Qi arrived, Ying Pozi, who was beside Mr. Yang, took the two of them to the classroom.

There were two long wooden tables in the classroom. Mrs. Ying said to Yang Qi and Yang Lan, "Second Miss, Third Miss, you can sit here."

Yang Lan smiled and said to Mrs. Ying, "Thank you, Mother Ding." Yang Qi also nodded in greeting.

Wenqin and Jingshan took out their own writing brushes, inks, paper and inkstones. Yang Qi was immediately attracted by Yang Lan's writing brushes and inks. It was obvious that Yang Lan's writing brushes and inks were extraordinary. If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Yang Lan's starting point was much better than his own.

Just after the Mao hour, Mr. Yang came in with three books and a long ruler. Yang Qi looked at the ruler in Mr. Yang's hand, and his heart was full of fighting spirit. In his previous life, he was hit by this ruler several times and felt satisfied. He pretended to be sick and didn't go to class. In this life, he will cherish this opportunity.

When Mr. Yang arrived at the classroom, he handed out the books in his hand to Yang Qi and Yang Lan. The textbooks used by Mr. Yang were all written by himself. Mr. Yang always wrote in regular script, and all the students taught by Mr. Yang also wrote in regular script. Today, Mr. Yang handed out the "Three Character Classic".

After receiving the book, Mr. Yang began the first day of teaching: The Book of Changes says: "Civilization ends with humanity. Observe the astronomy to observe the changes of the times. Observe the humanity to transform the world." The Three Character Classic also attaches great importance to this point, placing Mencius's "Theory of Human Nature" at the beginning of the chapter, making it clear that human nature is kind; then, citing Confucius's view that "human nature is similar", it emphasizes the importance of moral education, indicating that the kind nature will not be changed by bad habits only under the influence of moral education. In general, the Three Character Classic affirms that human nature is good and emphasizes moral education, which is in line with the concept of humanistic education, and both advocate the promotion of the spirit of moral humanism.
