Chapter 426
However, the little princess did not leave with her father.
After King Zhao left, she took Ruirui to a deserted place and said earnestly, "Ruirui, adults like well-behaved and obedient children.
You are still young and can use your ignorance as an excuse, but you must behave yourself and don’t really anger your father.”
This is what her mother taught her when she was young, and she has also seen it when she went out with her mother: adults often praise children who are well-behaved and obedient.
When he sees a disobedient child, he frowns and it is obvious that he dislikes the child.
Ruirui was extremely confused: "Be good and obedient?"
"Uh-huh"
The little princess bit her lip and said, "Don't be so impulsive in the future. I don't want you to be hated by others."
She would definitely not have said these things in the past. After all, she was older and she understood the principle of talking about deep things with superficial friends.
But now Ruirui has helped her a lot, and is warm and sincere to her, and considerate of her in every way. From now on, she will treat Ruirui as her own brother.
Ruirui tilted his head and thought again: "I didn't do anything wrong this time, did I?" He even helped others.
The little princess couldn't help laughing. The child was still young and was so busy playing that he probably didn't understand these things.
"Just listen to adults more, then they will like you."
This time Ruirui understood.
He felt that this was not right, but he didn't know how to refute it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "But, only when adults speak out their words can we know what they mean, and we also have to speak out our words so that they can know what we mean!"
"Just like my sister, if she hears something she doesn't like, she will feel unhappy."
"But……"
"You can't use the unhappiness of children to exchange for the happiness of adults, right?"
The two children expressed their views to each other, and in the end both sides felt that what the other said made sense, but not very reasonable.
The matter of the little princess's marriage was resolved quietly. After all, she was her mother, so she was naturally extremely cautious about her daughter's reputation.
However, the news that King Zhao went to the Osmanthus Courtyard spread like wildfire in every courtyard.
"Great! Ji Yunqing is really scheming. He actually sent a child to attract the prince, and he even brought the little princess along with him without knowing what else to do!"
"Will the princess show some leniency towards her this time?"
"But my Lord, they all say that when the prince left, Concubine Ji went to Concubine Zhao's courtyard."
"They staggered? That's great!"
……
"I just wonder if the prince will still be so kind to Ji and the bastard she gave birth to when he hears the news!"
Ji Yunqing returned to the Osmanthus Courtyard and found a child squatting on the ground with confused eyes.
"Ray?"
She was surprised: "You didn't go out to play today? Or are you back so early?"
"Oh!"
She patted her forehead and suddenly remembered: "Didn't you play with the little princess today? How was it?"
"Mother~"
Ruirui ran over and said, "Mom, do you prefer well-behaved and obedient children?"
Ji Yunqing: “…I didn’t say that.”
She thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything stupid, I still like you very much."
"But my sister said today that everyone likes well-behaved and obedient children."
So this is ah!
Ji Yunqing understood what was going on.
She sat in the yard with her child, looked at him and patiently taught him: "Be sincere to others, be upright, be open and aboveboard, be helpful, be consistent, be tenacious... these are all words that describe people with good moral character.
There are some words that are not so nice, but being well-behaved and obedient is not considered a good character, so I don’t have any requirements for you in this regard.”
She chuckled: "Words like obedient, sensible, submissive, etc. are all used to save trouble and worry. I don't want to spend too much time on you. It's best if you don't bother me, so that I can ask you to be sensible and obedient."
"But I hope you can have your own ideas when encountering things, and I can't ask you to listen to my opinions on everything."
She can't learn from those shameless parents who interfere in everything that belongs to their children.
Later, when I get annoyed, I start to angrily ask the child why he is so ignorant and why he can't do anything well.
This is not teaching children to grow up. What's the difference between this and raising a pet?
Ruirui seemed to understand but not quite, and he became even more confused.
But he understood one thing, that is, his mother didn't think there was anything wrong with him.
That's good!
Ruirui was happy again.
Soon, he thought of another thing: "But why is my sister..."
Doesn’t the princess like her sister?
Looking at Ruirui's shining eyes, Ji Yunqing explained: "This is another way of thinking."
When a girl gets married in the future, other families will not be so patient with her and will not love her unconditionally, so she has to adapt from a young age.
However, the little princess is of noble status after all. As long as the prince is willing to put in effort, no one will be blind enough to bully her.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqing once again reaffirmed his decision not to have a second child.
If she gave birth to a little girl, she really wouldn't know whether to teach her to be obedient and sensible, or to teach her to have her own opinions and temper.
Especially when you think about this society, it’s even more boring.
She didn't tell Ruirui about these considerations, after all, she was still a child.
After that, Ruirui had no worries at all and talked to her mother happily.
He said that he invited his father and sister to eat watermelon today, and they all liked it very much.
"is it?"
Ji Yunqing didn't care at all. Anyway, they ate the first few watermelons that ripened this year, and they ate too much so they didn't care about the extra ones.
But she wouldn't give them away easily, just like the vegetables she grew. She could eat them herself or make pickles or dried vegetables, but she didn't like to give away anything she ate.
If anything happens after eating, she will have to take the blame.
How congested is this?
As for the ones that Ruirui occasionally sent, she felt that the prince, princess and other people would not eat them.
Taking advantage of the free time, Ji Yunqing taught Ruirui to recite a short passage from a book. Ruirui practiced calligraphy for a while. As it was getting dark, they went to bed.
Within two days, Ji Yunqing noticed that the way people in the mansion looked at her became gradually strange.
When greeting each other in the morning, many people chose to target her.
Ji Yunqing: “???”
what 's wrong?
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "Concubine Ji is really a capable person!"
Ji Yunqing didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that the princess didn't react, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for the compliment?"
Everyone: "..."
Is this a compliment to you?
Before they could continue to ridicule her secretly, Ji Yunqing put on a sweet smile and touched her delicate and smooth face.
"I don't know what's going on lately. There's always someone peeking at me."
Concubine Li had heard the recent rumors in the palace, and also heard that the prince had taken his two children to Osmanthus Courtyard.
She was in a good mood and maliciously speculated: "Could it be that Concubine Ji did something and was known to others?"
"Oh"
Ji Yunqing continued slowly, "There are also people who like to stir up trouble. They may be deliberately looking for excuses to talk to me!"
