Chapter 4 Entering the Palace

At night, during dinner, Li Yuan's eyes fell on Changsheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Feeling his father's strangeness, Changsheng raised his head, "Dad, do you have anything to say to the child?"

Li Yuan's hand holding vegetables paused for a moment, "In the morning, after Chang Bo entered the palace, an imperial edict came from the palace to announce that you will come to the palace to meet you tomorrow."

The bamboo chopsticks in Changsheng's hand clattered and fell on the table. He pointed at himself and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to see me?"

"It's not the emperor, it's the queen."

"Oh~ That's fine."

Changsheng picked up the chopsticks, the maid next to him took them and wiped them clean, and handed them back.

"Why did the Queen see me?"

"The Queen ate your Hu cake and said she was curious about how her nephew who grinds wheat eight times looked like." Li Yuan said and laughed.

When Dou heard this, he quickly stood up and lowered his head to kneel down and said, "I am extravagant and shocked the gods. It's because I'm not strict in discipline." There was a little panic in his voice.

Seeing his mother's exaggerated reaction, Changsheng thought to himself: No, it sounds like a joke.

Sure enough, Li Yuan showed displeasure and slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "slap", "What are you doing? The Queen is just a joke, and you will be so nervous that you look like this, not as good as a three-year-old child. How can I feel at ease to let Changsheng enter the palace with you tomorrow?"

"But... it's wheat that has been ground eight times after all..." Dou whispered.

"You are both mothers and have children, so you should understand the mood of being a mother. However, eating a few cakes is not a serious sin. To be disrespectful, the Tian family's rich and frugal food is not considered extravagant, but it is far better than the officials and the people. Besides, Empress Dugu is my aunt and Changsheng's aunt. Although she has not had much contact recently, she has taken good care of us in the past. This time, she is mostly just finding an excuse to see the children, so you don't have to worry too much." After saying that, she gradually calmed down.

Seeing that his father, who had always been cautious, said all disrespectful words for himself, Asheng also looked admiring: My father is indeed domineering.

Dou then slowly got up and wiped the corners of his eyes, "I feel relieved when I hear my husband say this. It's all my fault." After that, he turned to Changsheng and pointed to her head, "It's also your fault that you are so uneasy. You have done so many things that will make me worry all day long."

"Okay, let's have a meal."

Changsheng stuck out his tongue and hurriedly buried his head in his bowl.

...

After dinner, Changsheng followed his father to the study.

Li Yuan listened to her reciting the daytime lessons: "...The geeks are singing in the river island, and the beautiful ladies are the same as gentlemen."

"It's not bad, I haven't seen you for two days, I have learned this article." Li Yuan touched Changsheng's head with satisfaction.

"Dad, tell me about the child's entry into the palace tomorrow." Changsheng looked at Li Yuan and said.

Li Yuan looked at his daughter carved in his arms and sighed in his heart: Can this child know the future?

Worried that she was afraid of entering the palace for the first time, she comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Queen Dugu is your aunt and grandmother. She had a good personal relationship with my mother in the past, and I guess she wouldn't make things difficult for you."

"Dad, I'm not afraid of the queen and grandma making things difficult for me. With my mother, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just worried about losing the rules and losing face to our family. Why don't you tell me about royal etiquette?" Changsheng explained.

Li Yuan was so amused that he was so happy that he considered so far-reachingly at such a young age, and he was indeed extraordinary.

I was crying at a young age, and after a few days of studying, I thought about learning etiquette. Do you know that the word "Li" can be big or small in this dynasty. When I get small, it is nothing more than walking, sitting, lying down, talking about various rules. When I get big, it is related to the foundation of the country and the rise and fall of the dynasty. Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in just a few decades, how many people have died because of the word "Li". Today, you want to learn etiquette before you are old. You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!

Thinking of this in my heart, he comforted me, "I know that you are talented and considerate a lot of things for my family, but I can't be greedy for my studies. I must first learn literacy and arithmetic first, and then "Chapter", "Book of Filial Piety", and "Analects of Confucius". Only after entering school can you learn the Five Classics, and studying the "Li" in the "Five Classics" can you truly learn rituals. My father has been an official for more than 20 years and has not dared to be known as "rituals". How dare you teach you privately?"

Seeing that his father refused without hesitation, Changsheng didn't take it seriously: "Okay, if I was blamed by the Queen, Dad, don't blame me."

When Li Yuan heard this, he laughed, picked her up and kissed her, put her on the ground, and patted her on the butt: "Go back to the house to rest early. Let's go together tomorrow, and be relieved. You can do whatever your mother does after entering the palace."

Changsheng nodded and left with his little butt twisted.

Li Yuan looked at her leaving figure and sighed that there was a child prodigy at home, which was a headache.

Li Yuan never thought that after Changsheng entered the palace, he would have a bigger headache...
