The citizens of Xia Country all knew that they had a princess who gave Emperor Xia and the queen a headache.
When she was four years old, Xia Nian hugged Emperor Xia's thigh and begged," Father, Nian 'er wants to go to the study.”
"A woman's lack of talent is virtue." In West Asia, no matter if they were nobles or commoners, girls rarely went to the study room. They only learned needlework in the boudoir. At most, they would read some "Women's Rules" like the girls from rich families, which was already very difficult.
"I won't!"
Emperor Xia's heart softened when he saw his four-year-old daughter acting coquettishly with him for the first time. The chubby little girl sat on the cold ground and cried with tears all over her face. He could not bear to reject her again." Alright, alright. Nian 'er will go to the study with the brothers."”
The next day, Xia Nian brought a dozen palace maids and eunuchs to the school in a grandiose manner. Her pomp was not much lower than Xia Zhao's.
"Alright, you guys wait outside. I'll go in myself.”
"Nian 'er." The Second Prince, Xia Chun, laughed and shook off the attendant. He only brought along a study attendant as he walked and said," You guys wait here. I'll go in with Nian 'er."”
"Second brother."
Ever since Consort Xi passed away and Xia Chun was adopted by the Queen, he liked to pester Xia Nian.
The Grand Tutor was a white-bearded old man who was over six years old. His surname was Du, and he usually treated his students very seriously.
However, Grand Tutor Du's teaching content was not as rigid as other teachers. Instead, it covered a wide range of topics, from nature to astronomical phenomena, from the emperor's career to how to be a minister. He taught everything he knew without reserve.
After a day like this, Xia Nian listened with great interest and did not feel sleepy.
After the lesson ended, Xia Zhao waved his hand and called for the servants to clean up the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He then stood up and walked towards Xia Nian." Nian 'er, Chun' er, let's go pay our respects to Mother."”
"Alright."
Just as they were about to leave, Grand Tutor Du stopped Xia Nian." Princess, please wait."”
"Grand Tutor, what's the matter?"
"Nian 'er, we'll wait for you outside.”
Xia Zhao left with Xia Chun, leaving Xia Nian to face the white-bearded and crafty Grand Tutor. "Your Highness has just entered the academy. If there's anything you can't keep up with or don't understand, feel free to ask this old man.”
"I understand. Grand Tutor, please don't mind Nian 'er's nagging.”
"Everyone says that Your Highness is intelligent, but as the saying goes, stupid birds fly first. It would be better for Your Highness to study diligently. When you go back, make a copy of what you said today and then memorize it.”
"Alright." Xia Nian's lips twitched as she reluctantly agreed. Even though he had a 26-year-old soul, he was only four years old. He was not good enough at hiding his thoughts.
"Princess, don't mind this old man being harsh. This old man is doing this for the good of His Highness.”
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Tutor."
Xia Zhao and the others were still waiting outside the school. Seeing Xia Nian's expression, they hurriedly asked," Did the Grand Tutor punish you?”
"No, I haven't."
On the long corridor leading to Chaohuang Palace, they met Concubine Hui and her one-year-old daughter.
"Consort Hui Niangniang is auspicious."
"Greetings, Crown Prince, Princess, and Second Prince. Are the three of you going to the Royal Palace?”The little girl was only one year old, but she looked like her mother. When she grew up, she would probably be a femme fatale.
"I haven't paid my respects to mother today and since my studies have ended, we decided to go together.”
"Then I won't delay the three majesties, in case I miss the time.”Concubine Hui took a step back, leaving a space in the middle of the corridor. Let them go over first.
