Chapter 364

Mother Consort spoke softly, and Sui Sui listened, feeling dazed.

However, she roughly knew that Mother Consort wanted her to forget past unhappiness and live happily.

She is now a young princess, different from before.

Children can't think too much; after a moment of bewilderment, she was attracted by the food on the table and no longer paid attention to anything else.

The children ate breakfast happily, then went to study with Master Shen.

Prince Qi returned around noon.

In the palace he had to coax the elder brother, also coax the aunt, then go to the Mother Consort's palace to check on the elderly person's condition.

In short, one night plus a morning, Prince Qi was exhausted.

But it's alright; he managed to persuade them in the end.

The aunt didn't go mad outright, the Mother Consort's health was still fine, the elder brother showed no joy or anger, Prince Qing remained calm, everyone kept their emotions in check, no major fallout, no arguments, and no one fell ill from anger.

After finishing all that, Prince Qi rushed out of the palace and back to his residence.

He hadn't accompanied Sui Sui for dinner last night nor breakfast today; now he just wants to come back and have lunch with Sui Sui.

Prince Qi returned, and the Princess Consort worried, asking carefully about the palace situation.

Regarding this, Prince Qi, while changing clothes, said in a hoarse voice: "The aunt looks calm, but if the outcome doesn't satisfy her, I suspect the Jin Yang Marquis's residence could be chopped up by her with a knife; the elder brother surely sees it clearly in his heart; the Mother Consort's side hasn't interfered much, she's been ill lately, low spirits, but the imperial physicians say her body is still fine, her eating and drinking are okay, just that her body remains weak."

When the matter came to the central person, Prince Qi furrowed his brows: "As for the Jin Yang Marquis's residence and Thus we will output: Thus we will output: Thus we will output: Thus we will output: Xiefuren..."

How to handle it, there is still no result for now.

The elder brother has already expressed his stance; he definitely won't treat it lightly.

Hearing Prince Qi's words, the Princess Consort nodded: "As long as His Majesty keeps it in mind, that's fine; otherwise the aunt's side... Moreover, there's Ning sister; she almost suffered a great crime; the Xu family people are really..."

The Princess Consort didn't even know what to say.

Sui Sui's morning lessons ended, and she saw Father King coming to pick her up.

The little girl jumped up happily, running all the way toward Father King: "Father King!!!"

The little girl happily rushed over.

Prince Qi had already strode over, opened his arms and picked her up: "Oh, my obedient one, Father King has missed you."

While speaking, he also pressed his face against Sui Sui's face.

He had carefully groomed himself before coming over, even his beard was specially clean.

Even so, Sui Sui still felt the prickle, but she didn't push him away in disgust; instead she laughed while hugging Father King and burst out laughing.

The child laughed happily from being teased, and the Princess Consort, watching from the side, also felt happy.

The family ate a hearty lunch; Sui Sui played a bit to digest, then went to nap.

Summer days seem especially long; at noon the sun scorches the earth, and many people dare not show their heads then, fearing they might get burned.

After Sui Sui had digested, she took a few sisters' hands and went to nap.

The bed is large, but not easy to fit four little girls.

Thus, in the end Sui Sui slept with Ren Shu Han, and Liu He Meng slept with Shen Hua Tang.

In the afternoon, Sui Sui followed the new zither teacher to learn the zither.

The zither teacher speaks very slowly; if she meets an impatient person, they might go crazy from her slow tone.

However, Sui Sui really likes this tone; it's gentle and reassuring.

Today just started learning; we begin with the score, so we can't play yet.

Nevertheless, the zither teacher still brought the instrument over, letting Sui Sui first get acquainted with it; then, while studying the score, there is also a reference to look at, knowing how to proceed later.

Among the four little girls, the other three have already learned to play the zither; the difference lies in proficiency, or rather talent.

Shen Hua Tang plays the best, then Ren Shu Han; Liu He Meng's mind isn't on this, so she plays somewhat worse.

Moreover, compared to the zither, she is better at playing the erhu; if it weren't for her grandfather disliking it, Liu He Meng would still want to learn the suona.

Sui Sui has just begun learning; she's not in a rush to play yet.

Just learning the score and the strings will probably take a few days.

To play well later, the basics must be learned solidly.

Sui Sui studied the zither continuously for three days.

She now roughly knows the strings and the score, and can barely play.

Of course, playing stiff and harsh to the ears is true.

The zither teacher wasn't overly surprised by this.

At the start, it's like this: playing stiff and rigid; plus, children can't understand much emotion, so most of the time they're just demonstrating technique.

Sui Sui also isn't in a hurry; before, she couldn't even touch these things.

Now being able to learn is already good; learning slowly is fine.

Mother Consort said, as long as you make an effort, that's fine; whether you can learn it, how well you learn it, that's talent, innate and unchangeable.

However, if you make an effort, it's also possible to change all of this.

Thus, Sui Sui studies especially earnestly.

Every day her little waist is kept straight, a cute little thing.

The zither teacher grows fonder watching her, and her tone becomes ever gentler.

Another day passed; after Sui Sui had dinner, the cat was beside Mother Consort, watching Mother Consort embroider a sachet for the older brother.

The previous sachet had contained grasshoppers; even after being washed clean, Feng Xuanrui wouldn't use it.

So the Princess Consort thought, now that she's free, she'll embroider another one for her son.

Actually, she doesn't have much free time either.

After the small banquet on the sixth day of the sixth month, the Qi Wangfu became busy again.

Because Prince Qi and Feng Xuanze's birthdays are both in June.

One is June 19, the other is June 26; the father and son's birthdays are not far apart.

Not only that, the Fǔguó Gōng Fu's Lu Yin Song also has a birthday in June, on the sixteenth, which is a bit earlier than Feng Xuanze's.

Because it's not a coming-of-age ceremony, so it might not be a big celebration.

However, according to the relationship between the two mansions, the Qi Wangfu will definitely send congratulatory gifts; whether they will stay for a meal then still depends on the situation.

Just that...

Lu Yin Song probably doesn't want to celebrate his birthday.

Since his leg injury made him unable to stand, he has completely sunk into depression.

Princess Consort of Qi thought of these and couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, Sui Sui still studied with Master Shen in the morning, and in the afternoon studied music with the music teacher.

In the evening, she also had to review her lessons, trying to hold a brush and write big characters.

Of course, what she writes are the most basic.

However, Sui Sui is young, her grip on the brush is unsteady, and she has just started practicing calligraphy; her writing looks no different from chicken scratches.

Prince Qi looked and burst out laughing: "Our Guai Guai's writing really resembles Father King's; truly worthy of my Guai Guai."

At that time, Princess Consort of Qi sat nearby sorting accounts; hearing this, she almost rolled her eyes.

She thought to herself: Is writing poorly something to be proud of?

The second watch is at 19:00.
