Chapter 552 Do You Know (19)
The emperor looked at his big, fat son, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, and his eyes welled up with tears. Fortunately, he remembered where he was and managed to hold back his emotions.
Wangyou didn't quite understand. There were even little babies in the harem, so it couldn't be like this!
Wangyou doesn't actually understand the significance of the eldest son to people in this era.
The morning court session proceeded smoothly; those with matters to discuss addressed them directly, and there was no wrangling or bickering, so it ended very quickly.
"Wangyou, why don't you go to court every day from now on!"
"Hehe! Go reunite with your big fat son. I'm leaving now. Bring him back when it's time." Wangyou refused and left the palace without looking back.
"Wow, you've gotten quite a bit stronger. Tell Father, how have you been lately?"
"Good, very good! The Grand Tutor taught me to read, and I can now recite the entire Three Character Classic. Also, the Grand Tutor had someone make me lots of delicious food, which I love..." Yuan Zhao kept talking all the way until they arrived at the Empress's palace.
The Empress missed her son and hugged him tightly, showering him with kisses. Then the Emperor and Empress listened to their son recite the Three Character Classic again, word for word, although some parts were unclear, which was due to his young age.
They pinched their son's arms and legs and found them to be much stronger than before. They summoned the imperial physician for a check-up, who also said that the crown prince was in excellent health. The emperor and empress were overjoyed.
Although Wangyou didn't say when she would send him back, she still had someone send the Crown Prince to the Princess's residence in the evening. They couldn't let the princess's good upbringing of the child go to waste.
Wangyou had a free day to check the homework of Molan, Rulan, and Minglan. She gave them a targeted explanation of their weaknesses and then gave them a set of questions before she was done.
During this time, besides Rulan continuing to practice martial arts with Wangyou, Molan and Minglan also started to strengthen their bodies. Actually, it was mainly Molan who was the weakest among the three, while Minglan had at least learned recreational activities such as polo.
However, the imperial examinations tested not only knowledge but also the physical fitness of each candidate, so no detail could be overlooked.
Wangyou recently planned to give Yuanzhao a medicinal bath, and seeing the three figures struggling to exercise, she finally asked them about it.
“I’m planning to give Yuan Zhao a medicinal bath. Why don’t you guys try it too? It can help improve your health. But you’re older, so it might hurt a lot.”
"Let's go." The three thought for a moment and gritted their teeth before agreeing. After all, no pain, no gain.
"Yuan Zhao, I'm going to give you a medicinal bath today. You'll feel much better afterward, but it will be a little painful. You can manage, right?"
"Did the Grand Tutor also soak in water when he was a child?"
"Yes, I was six years old when I first had it done. I was already a bit old then, and it hurt a lot, but the effect was significant. I can learn martial arts much faster than ordinary people."
"Grand Tutor, come on, Yuan Zhao can do it." Yuan Zhao said, clenching his small hands. He also wanted to be as capable as the Grand Tutor.
After fooling the child, Wangyou, he had someone boil water and poured in the medicine powder. After a while, Yuanzhao looked at Wangyou accusingly, "Grand Tutor, this is not a little pain, it hurts a lot."
The child struggled to hold back tears as he protested against Forget-Me-Not.
"If you're afraid of the pain, you can come out, but coming out will mean all your efforts are wasted."
"I... I can do it," the child said, holding back tears and trying not to shout.
"Yuan Zhao, you're just a child, it's not shameful to cry," Wang You said with a smile.
"Did you cry back then, Grand Tutor?"
"Of course not." Wangyou shook her head without hesitation, selectively forgetting that she had hugged her mother and cried pitifully back then.
"Then I won't cry."
"Go ahead and cry, Grand Tutor. I was much older than you back then. I was three years older than you are now."
"Oh, waaaaah~~" The little prince couldn't hold back anymore, crying and shouting. Anyway, he was just a child, so it wasn't shameful.
Half an hour later, the medicinal bath ended, and Yuan Zhao fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Xiao happy, take the Crown Prince to rest."
"Yes, Princess." Xiao happy took the little prince and led him away.
Next up were Mo Lan, Ru Lan, and Ming Lan. The three of them started at the same time, and soon their faces contorted in pain. Wang You kindly handed one of them a piece of gauze, which the three of them immediately bit into.
But perhaps because they were competing, no one dared to shout out.
"I know it hurts a lot. You'll feel better if you scream out. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you," Wangyou said with a grin.
The three of them looked at each other, but no one dared to shout out, waiting to see who would break down first.
"Alright, I'll have someone come in to take care of you in half an hour. I'm leaving now." Wangyou got up and left. She could accept that children had fewer impurities in their bodies, but these children were all quite old, and she absolutely didn't want to wrong her nose.
Finally, each of the three women's maids washed them clean and carried them back to their rooms. That night, the four women slept exceptionally well after their medicinal baths.
When the four woke up the next day, they could clearly feel the difference. First of all, their skin looked much whiter in the bronze mirror, and the pimples and blackheads on their faces were gone.
I've also become much stronger, and I feel like I have inexhaustible energy.
Yuan Zhao was pulled to the training ground by Wang You, who tested his strength one by one. He can now lift ten pounds with one hand, which is not bad.
"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, can I still make love to you in the future?"
"You'll need to soak twice more. We'll do it again when you're eight. Now, start practicing horse stance."
"Oh, okay." The child obediently squatted down to the side. Mo Lan, Ru Lan, and Ming Lan, who arrived a little late, felt a little embarrassed and quickly started practicing on their own.
Wangyou stopped practicing a set of sword techniques afterward. She figured that the peep show could be made now, and she wasn't afraid of anyone causing trouble.
Thinking of this, Wangyou returned to her study and began to ponder what money-making products she could produce. Glass was one thing, but she wondered if the road construction workers had figured it out yet. As for warm items like wool sweaters, they had already been issued to the army last year.
While pondering, Wangyou unconsciously drew a weapon. Looking down, she realized that she still needed to develop military power.
Since we're making weapons, let's make a variety of them. We've even drawn up the design for landmines. Wangyou developed the formula for this a few years ago, but he just didn't let anyone produce them. It'll be a good opportunity to give the government a headache.
"Fourth sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, I'm giving you all a day off today. I'm taking Yuan Zhao to the palace to visit relatives." Wangyou picked up Yuan Zhao and left.
The three sisters, who were given a holiday, discussed it and decided to go back to the mansion to visit. Besides, a balance between work and rest is the right way to study.
When the Emperor saw Wangyou enter the palace with her chubby son, he secretly glanced at him and thought, "Hmm, he's not missing any limbs. It's just that the crying from the Princess's mansion yesterday was so loud."
"Your Majesty, look! This is a new weapon I've developed. Once it's built, we'll place it on the border, and whether it's the Khitan or the Western Xia, I guarantee they won't dare to invade our Great Song again." Wangyou pretended not to see the Emperor's gaze and said calmly.
