Chapter 2000 Changing the Way of Education
Things like educating children are usually the responsibility of the mistress, with the man taking care of the outside affairs and the woman taking care of the inside affairs.
Therefore, the important task of Prince Ji's Mansion fell on Lu Dingniang, and Li Shen was only responsible for playing with the children.
Li Shen has always been curious about why five-year-old Yangyang is so calm and how Wu Meiniang taught him.
The reason why Xixi is so naughty is probably because of her pampering.
Because Xixi is his first daughter, he loves her very much, takes good care of her, and gives her whatever she wants.
Later, he found that his method was wrong, so he changed the way he educated San Yatou.
It is better for girls to be ladies from wealthy families. Li Shen discovered that his eldest daughter has begun to develop towards Princess Gaoyang's side.
This is not a good thing. After today's incident, Li Shen decided to make some changes to Xixi's education.
We can't let her go on like this any longer.
You can be lively and active, but not overbearing.
As for the education of his eldest son Yangyang, Li Shen also needs to understand it. He doesn't want Yangyang to become a cowardly person.
Now that the two children are only five years old, it is not too late to educate them.
"In reply to your Highness, Madam Wu has always been very strict with the young master. She often says that the young master is the eldest son of the Ji Palace and should work harder to set a good example and not lose the reputation of the Ji Palace."
The nurse answered truthfully.
There are no confidants in the Prince Ji's Mansion. The entire Prince Ji's Mansion is composed of Li Shen's people. Only the two maids brought as dowry by Lu Dingniang are Lu Dingniang's confidants.
Li Shen didn't care about it at all.
As long as Li Shen wanted to know, it would be easy for him to find out everything Wu Meiniang and the others did.
Hearing the wet nurse's words, Li Shen frowned. How could she be so harsh at such a young age?
"Anything else?" Li Shen continued to ask. He wanted to know if Wu Meiniang had any other ideas.
"My Lord, Madam Wu often tells my young master to behave well in front of my Lord, and that he should not let me down."
The lady added.
"Well, you guys go back and take good care of the young master." Li Shen nodded and let them go back.
Then she turned around and walked back to the garden. At this moment, she had finished teaching Xixi a lesson. Xixi was standing in the corner as punishment, while Wu Meiniang was preaching to her.
"Okay, I'm a little hungry. Let someone prepare the meal." Li Shen said after walking over and sitting down.
"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away." Lu Dingniang nodded and told the servants to notify everyone to prepare the meal.
"Xixi, come, come to Aye."
Li Shen waved to Xixi.
"Aye~~" Xixi came to Li Shen with grievance, hugged Li Shen and started crying.
Li Shen helped him stand up and said seriously:
"Xixi, do you know that what you did today was wrong?"
"Aye, Xixi knows she was wrong." Xixi nodded and continued to cry.
"Well, you know you were wrong, you're a good kid. Don't do this in the future. Yangyang is your brother, you should love each other, you can't bully others casually, and you can't hit others casually.
Aye can satisfy any of your requirements, delicious food, fun things, and beautiful clothes.
But you must know that you can’t do things that go against morality, okay?”
Li Shen helped Xixi wipe away her tears. Even though he made a mistake, he still felt a little distressed when he saw her.
"I understand, Aye. Xixi won't do it again." Xixi nodded ignorantly. She only knew that she made a mistake by hitting her brother today.
"Let her learn women's virtues and etiquette from now on." Li Shen said to Wu Meiniang.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Meiniang bowed and agreed.
"Your Majesty, isn't it a little early? Xixi has just started to learn. How about waiting another two years?"
But Lu Dingniang came over.
Xixi was only five years old, but Lu Dingniang thought she must be at least seven. In name, all the children in the palace were hers.
Although there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, they are basically treated equally. Calling her mother means she has the responsibility to love and teach her.
"First let the maid read and explain to her. She doesn't need to memorize everything. She just needs to know what she should and shouldn't do.
One stick of incense a day." Li Shen was really determined to change Xixi's willful and capricious personality this time.
Seeing Li Shen's firm attitude, Lu Dingniang could only nod. In fact, Lu Dingniang also liked Xixi very much and could always make her happy.
"By the way, remember to ask the cook to make some dishes that Yangyang likes. I just promised Yangyang."
Li Shen added another sentence.
When Wu Meiniang heard that Li Shen had just visited Yangyang, she was delighted. Prince Ji was indeed different from others in that he was not treated differently based on whether he was a legitimate son or a illegitimate child.
Li Shen once again ordered the maid to take Xixi downstairs to see if the injury on her buttocks was serious and to apply some medicine or something.
After arranging everything, Li Shen lay down comfortably on the recliner. After being busy for half a day, Li Shen felt a little tired.
"Hey? Where's the third child? And the fourth child? Why didn't you bring them out to bask in the sun?"
Li Shen looked up and asked.
"Your Highness, Chijia and Er are sleeping. We took them out to play for a while this morning and they are a little tired."
Lu Dingniang sat next to Li Shen, helped Li Shen take off his boots, and kneaded Li Shen's calves.
"Oh, my lady, there will be more and more heirs in the palace in the future, and it will all depend on you to educate the children. I don't think I am very good at this.
But don't be too old-fashioned. I hope they have a happy childhood, and I don't ask them to be successful and famous.
The Ji Palace's assets will be enough for them to squander in the future.
Besides, I have just come of age and still have decades to live, so I can definitely save a lot for them."
Li Shen did not want his children to get involved in politics because it was a bloody place. According to historical development, many royal children ended up with their families broken up.
Moreover, when a dynasty changes, the first group to be purged are the royal family members.
Li Shen hoped that his descendants could continue the family business, even if they did not hold high positions or achieve fame or success.
Thousands of years later, there are still people offering sacrifices to their ancestors by enshrining their own tablets.
Staying away from political disputes is the best way to preserve bloodline.
"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the young master. As the young master said, with the strength of our Ji Palace, there is no need for them to work so hard. It is good enough as long as they can be safe and sound."
Lu Dingniang smiled and nodded, as if she understood Li Shen's meaning.
"When does the prince plan to leave for the northwest?"
Wu Meiniang asked softly in Li Shen's ear.
"Hmm...it should be soon, maybe in the next few days. By the way, my lady, are the supplies for the trip to the northwest ready?"
Li Shen took a bite of the fruit handed to him by Wu Meiniang and asked.
"It should be ready soon. We have already arranged for Shopkeeper Wang to handle this matter. This is not the first time that the prince has gone out, so Shopkeeper Wang should be familiar with the route.
As for money, I brought a cart of gold bars, about a thousand pounds, which should be enough for you to use on the road."
When Lu Dingniang heard Li Shen's question, she quickly replied.
(We'll talk about it tomorrow)
