Chapter 407: Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 59 (Extra 2)

Those old stubborn ministers were even more unexpected. They actually offered to enlighten the young prince and teach him in the court. They almost came to a fight to compete for the quota. Their enthusiasm was so enthusiastic that Xiao Yuan was simply baffled.

"What are you arguing about? The prince isn't even a month old yet." He just left.

The ministers were unhappy. How could Your Majesty understand their ambitions? Although Your Majesty was somewhat unsatisfactory in love affairs, he was already a wise ruler and would certainly not stop here in the future.

The crown prince is the future emperor. As important officials of the dynasty, they naturally have to teach the next emperor well, continue to be wise rulers, and create a prosperous era.

I also have a little selfish thought, which is that I cannot let the Crown Prince learn from his father who went through three thousand rivers and took only one scoop.

Although they have accepted their fate after all these years, and what the queen has done has indeed helped many women and her reputation among the people is very high, even they cannot go against their conscience and say that she is unfit to be a queen.

If Lin Zhi is unfit to be the queen, then all the queens in the entire Xiao royal family are even less qualified.
-
The old ministers made no secret of their concern for the prince.

When the little prince was three years old and ready to be enlightened, he was taught by the Right Prime Minister, who had served three generations of monarchs, was over seventy years old and had many students all over the world.

After that, when he was five years old, the general came to teach him riding and archery.

When he was six, seven, and eight years old, the best officials in the court taught him and taught him earnestly, with more patience than they showed their grandchildren at home.

Sometimes when they saw the prince making mistakes, Lin Zhi and Xiao Yuan would punish him, but they would also glare at them, protecting the prince and saying something like "the prince is still a child".

Lin Zhi and Xiao Yuan were speechless, especially when they saw their son hiding behind the minister and doing mischief. They wanted to ask them, didn't they say they would teach him a strict lesson? It was clear that he had become a little bully who was not even afraid of them. Fortunately, they all had the same nemesis.

A girl in a flamboyant red dress appeared and grabbed the little prince's ear: "Xiao Jing, you are so bold that you dare to anger our father, the emperor, and our mother."

The little prince screamed and begged for mercy, saying "it was his fault".

The ministers at the side kept saying, "Princess, be gentle, be gentle, the prince is your brother."

The girl glared at them instantly: "Is this how you spoil the prince? If you indulge him like this, he will become more and more foolish. How can he handle important tasks in the future? Besides, as his elder sister, can't I even speak up for my younger brother? Grandpa Right Prime Minister, uncle General, uncle Censor, you guys speak." The ministers were scolded by her so hard that they couldn't raise their heads, and there was a hint of joy on their faces. After all, the princess called them 'grandfather', 'uncle' and 'uncle'.

I sighed inwardly, although the Queen is not a likable person, her child is really well-behaved and cute.

Trying to keep your voice gentle, he explained to the little princess that it was only natural for a princess to teach her brother a lesson, but the prince had only made a small mistake, so there was no need to punish him harshly...

Not far away, Lin Zhi was being embraced by Xiao Yuan around the waist. She found this scene very funny. When Jin He was three years old, he saw more court ladies and only met ministers during the New Year holidays. He never paid much attention to them until his younger brother was born and named the crown prince.

The ministers began to visit the prince frequently, and almost came to blows over the responsibility of teaching the prince.

The little princess, who always thought she was smart, pretty and loved by everyone, was dissatisfied.

Why do these ministers only like their younger brother and not themselves?
When the ministers came to visit the prince again and he was leaving, she chased after them aggressively, holding her horsewhip, with sweat on her forehead, and stood in front of the ministers with her hands on her hips, asking them if they didn't like her and if she wasn't beautiful and cute.

The minister was not impressed by the little princess and just replied, "She is cute and pretty," and prepared to leave.

Xiao Jinhe was good at observing people's expressions. He could see the perfunctory attitude on the minister's face and was very angry: "You lied." But he did not get angry. Instead, he said, "Do you want to teach your brother to read? But your brother is too young, so you can teach me."

The minister immediately wanted to refuse, not wanting to accompany a little princess in making trouble.

She raised her chin and said, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid that you can't teach me well? If you can't even teach me well, how can you teach the prince well? I will report this to my father. You can come here starting tomorrow." After that, she left with a confident and unrestrained back. The ministers were stunned, but they didn't take it to heart, thinking that the princess just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, after the court session the next day, His Majesty did not leave, but talked about this matter. He also named the old minister, the Right Prime Minister, and said with a smile, "The princess is right. If you can't even teach a princess as smart as me, how can you be qualified to teach the prince?"

These words stopped all the ministers who wanted to refuse.

So, those ministers who wanted to teach the prince began to teach the princess, and the princess was indeed as Your Majesty said, very smart and could learn anything quickly. Although she looked arrogant, she acted in moderation and was not annoying.

She was particularly considerate. As the Right Prime Minister was old and had bad teeth, she gave him the cook who had cooked for her since she was a child.

The general went to the battlefield in his early years and injured his leg. His leg was always in great pain every time it rained, so she sought out a famous doctor for treatment.

She is so pitiful and cute that even the cruelest heart will be softened.

The ministers were no exception. They were gradually moved by the kindness, cuteness, intelligence and considerate little princess. From being forced to teach in the beginning, they became more and more attentive and also had a sense of cherishing talent. They sighed more than once that it would be great if the princess was a boy.

Fortunately, it was later discovered that the little prince was also extremely smart.

But I don’t know if it’s because they were too gentle when teaching the princess and not strict enough with the prince. The prince didn’t like to study, so they coaxed and persuaded him, and ended up spoiling him into a naughty little devil.

Fortunately, the little prince is afraid of his sister.

So every time the prince committed a crime, the princess would punish him, and all the ministers would also be taught a lesson.

However, lessons aside, the little princess still liked these ministers very much. She frowned and taught her brother, "Grandpa Right Prime Minister and the others are old and don't get angry easily. If you continue to make trouble, I will not forgive you if anything happens to you." These words instantly soothed the minister's heart, which was a little uncomfortable after being taught a lesson. The princess was still the well-behaved and considerate princess.

They all said that the prince was still young and just needed to be educated slowly, but now the princess was completely on his side.

"..." Lin Zhi laughed at what she saw. Xiao Yuan also shook his head and said to her, "Let's go. Let them handle the rest on their own."

The palace maid followed the two of them and left.

Later, when the prince was fifteen years old, he gradually began to get involved in court affairs, and the princess took over her mother's responsibilities, opened shops all over the dynasty, and started a girls' school.

Ten years later, the dynasty had developed and undergone tremendous changes. There were more children from poor families who became officials through the imperial examination than the powerful and wealthy, although most of them were only serving as officials at the grassroots level.

Ten years later, Xiao Yuan planned to abdicate and hand over the throne to the crown prince.

At this time, the princess, who had not married for so many years, said that she wanted to take a boat south, where there was said to be a fertile and vast land.

There was a gleam in her eyes, full of ambition and determination.

Xiao Yuan agreed.

Soon, the new emperor ascended the throne and personally saw his sister off. The tall woman stood on the boat and waved to everyone. At this time, the right prime minister had passed away, but the general, the minister, and the censor were still alive. They almost fainted from tears. Why did the princess have to go to that wilderness?

However, the princess did not soften her heart. She took one last look at her mother, father, brother and homeland, turned around without any reluctance, and the ship sailed away towards the unknown.
