Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

He Ke sat at his desk, feeling excited, nervous, and a little scared.

Meng Fanshuang never expected that Wang Xifeng would let the little princess attend the class as well. She was about to finish the course of teaching the three hundred thousand and didn't know whether she should move on.

He had no choice but to ask He Ke in a friendly manner: "Did the princess know how to read and write before?"

He Ke raised his timid eyes: "I have never been to school. I only learned to write a few words..."

"How many words?" Meng Fanshuang was stunned. How many words can be taught in one lesson?

"Yes. My father's name and his original title, my own name and title, and, my mother's...name and title." He Ke lowered his head and drooped his eyes, hiding his expression behind his bangs.

Tsk, what naked ambition and stupid behavior.

Meng Fanshuang didn't say much, so she just glanced at Wang Xifeng.

"You are still young, your mother didn't have time to teach you." Wang Xifeng was unwilling to speak ill of Li Shuren, but covered up for her, "But I heard that in the early years, the emperor's grandchildren in various mansions all started to learn at the age of four or five.

"Now I am in mourning for my grandmother and starting my studies from scratch.

"You are five years old, you can start to learn.

"This Aunt Meng is knowledgeable and upright. The Emperor and the Empress both praised her as a good teacher. It should be enough for her to enlighten us.

"If you want, I'll help you learn the three hundred thousand again?"

Princess Heke lowered her eyes and listened, then nodded gently: "The Crown Princess asked me to follow Cheng Hui these few days. I will do whatever Cheng Hui says."

In other words, it's not about willingness, but casualness.

Wang Xifeng didn't bother to argue with a child. Instead, she shook her head and said, "Since you don't like to be with me, let's change the way of learning."

Yin indicated to Meng Fanshuang: "While I am practicing calligraphy in the morning, you can teach the princess three hundred thousand from the beginning; when I am teaching, let Manager Xia take the princess out to play.

"In the afternoon, while Master Xia was teaching me, my aunt took the princess to practice calligraphy.

"After the 3:00 pm, let Ruer accompany the princess to draw patterns or learn how to hold a needle.

“After dinner, before going to bed, the aunt told the princess stories from the Four Books for Women.

"how?"

The little princess's entire day was actually filled.

Princess Heke was already precocious and intelligent, but after hearing this arrangement, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

This Wang doesn't seem to be as coquettish and treacherous as her mother described, nor does she seem to be as sinister and pretentious as the Crown Princess implied.

At least the courses, stories, needlework, and games she arranged for herself were all rights her mother had promised her that she would only have once she became her father's legitimate daughter...

Before he could finish his thought, Wang Xifeng said, "Okay. Let's do it this way."

"Then I will practice calligraphy first, and Auntie will give me the lesson."

After saying this, he didn't bother with He Ke any more and just lowered his head to write.

- Just kidding, Aunt Meng assigned her to write 120 big characters every day, and if she didn’t finish them quickly, she would be beaten on the palm!

Although she was not afraid of the pain, she would be laughed at by her sisters and girls. How could she bear it? !

Aunt Meng began to lecture He Ke in a gentle voice, starting with the origin, author, and dynasty of the Three Character Classic, and then quickly moved on to reading, reciting, and explaining the allusions.

Half an hour later, Aunt Meng took He Ke to drink water and eat fruit, look at the flowers and trees, and specifically asked Fuguier to accompany the princess.

A quarter of an hour later, He Ke came back and studied for another half an hour.

Xia Shouzhong and Ruer came over, and together with Qiaogui and Fuguier, the four of them carried Heke to tour the entire back hall of the East Palace.

After just half a day, He Ke's smile became bigger.

When it was time for dinner that night, He Ke stared at the dishes on the table.

A plate of eight-treasure cake, a plate of red bean paste buns, a bowl of egg custard, a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, a bowl of plain noodles, a dish of stir-fried celery with yam and black fungus, a dish of stir-fried chicken with corn and peas, a large steamed water chestnut meatball, and a plate of fresh walnut kernels mixed with spinach.

How come there is meat?!

There was not only panic but also contempt in He Ke's eyes.

People who are in mourning cannot eat meat!

So even in the palace of the Crown Princess, she was a vegetarian. The meat dishes were for the Crown Princess and her brother!

"You are so young. If you don't eat meat, you won't grow tall and your health won't improve tomorrow." Wang Xifeng directed An'er to move the two meat dishes to He Ke, "Don't listen to others' pretentious threats.

"You kids, you have to eat a little bit of everything and not be averse to anything, only then can you grow up well.

"If you take good care of your body and stop being so frail and sickly, that would be the greatest filial piety you could show to the Crown Prince and the late Li Shuren.

"Besides, it is your grandfather's birthday now, and you are his granddaughter, shouldn't you share in the joy?

"Good boy, be obedient. We won't go out and spread the news. We'll just have a good meal."

He Ke blinked, pursed his lips, and didn't know what to do.

Ruer smiled and scooped two spoonfuls of egg custard first, and stretched it out to him: "My princess, be good and fill your stomach first, ah~"

He Ke subconsciously opened his mouth.

Ah, this egg custard also contains ham and diced mushrooms, so delicious!

She just felt that she hadn't satisfied her craving yet, but the small bowl of egg custard was gone!

"This is Eight Treasure Porridge, and paired with Eight Treasure Cake, it is the best for nourishing the spleen and stomach." Ruer said softly, scooped up the porridge, and fed it to her mouth.

This is drinkable.

What's more, the raisins and peanuts in it are my favorite foods.

He Ke opened his mouth obediently.

Before she finished chewing and swallowing the porridge, Ruer had already placed a spoonful of meatballs beside her: "There's not much minced meat in this, and I'm afraid it's getting late, and the princess won't be able to digest it, so just eat it as a meatball, and add a little meat flavor."

He Ke hesitated for a moment.

But the water chestnut meatballs in the spoon are so delicious!

The first bite you take, the minced meat is delicate and the water chestnuts are fresh and crispy, the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes!

Just like that, Ruer explained in a low voice while feeding him one spoonful at a time.

He Ke ate half a bowl of egg custard, half a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, half a meatball, two spoonfuls of diced chicken, a few slices of yam and black fungus, a few chopsticks of spinach and walnut kernels, two pieces of eight-treasure cakes, and a red bean paste bun in a daze.

The originally flat belly became round and bulging after eating!

Wang Xifeng ate a large bowl of plain noodles and then ate the remaining two vegetarian dishes, the eight-treasure cake, and the red bean paste bun without hesitation. Only the two meat dishes were left over, and she gave most of them to Ru'er.

Aunt Meng next to her frowned and said, "A five-year-old girl can't eat so much!"

"Just go for a walk after dinner. It's nothing real!" Wang Xifeng didn't care and waved for someone to come, "Jingshun, you and An'er accompany the princess to walk in the courtyard and under the corridor.

“If you are bored, go to Mei Liangyuan’s room and ask her to find some games suitable for little girls.

"Since I was young, I have played with horses, fought wars, and climbed trees to catch birds. I cannot teach you how to be a good person!"

In this way, the whole day went by, and He Ke fell asleep happily and sweetly without waiting for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to enter the East Palace.
