Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the prince has turned three years old. Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan deeply understand the importance of education, so they carefully selected a knowledgeable Confucian scholar to enlighten the prince. His name is Cai Wenji, who has traveled extensively and has a wealth of knowledge. More importantly, his character and teaching methods are deeply appreciated by Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan.
In the study of the palace, sunlight streams through the window mullions, and the room is immaculately tidy. On the wall hangs the calligraphy of Su Shi, and the bookshelf neatly displays classics such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan." The air is filled with a blend of ink and sandalwood, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere for learning.
The prince sat in front of a small wooden table, his eyes shining with intense interest as he listened to his teacher, Cai Wenji. Holding the "Analects" in her hand, Cai Wenji began to explain the teachings of Confucius and Mencius with her gentle yet powerful voice. "Mencius said, 'Without a compass, one cannot draw a perfect circle,'" Cai Wenji slowly explained, "This means that without standards, one cannot achieve perfection, teaching us the importance of principles and standards in our actions."
The prince listened with great interest, unconsciously imitating the teacher's gestures with his small hands. At times he furrowed his brow in thought, and at other times he laughed joyfully. His innocence and eager attitude towards learning brought comfort and joy to everyone present.
"Mr. Cai, if 'without a set square, one cannot make a circle,' then how can we achieve that?" the prince asked curiously, his voice clear and full of thirst for knowledge.
Cai Wenji smiled slightly, admiringly looking at the prince, and replied, "This requires us to learn to follow the rules and do things in an orderly manner in our daily lives. Only in this way can we achieve success in both knowledge and character."
At this moment, Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan were quietly standing at the door of the study, silently observing this scene. Seeing the prince so focused on learning, they couldn't help but show a relieved smile on their faces.
When Cai Wenji's teaching reached its climax, he took down a book of "The Book of Changes" from the bookshelf, preparing to guide the prince into deeper levels of thinking.
"The Book of Changes" is a profound and extensive book, not only a book of divination, but also a comprehensive work of philosophy, ethics, and cosmology," Cai Wenji said earnestly, as if planting a seed of wisdom in the prince's heart with every word.
As his studies deepened, the prince's growing passion for ancient culture and philosophy became increasingly evident. Under the guidance of Cai Wenji, he not only studied classics but also began to write down his own insights and thoughts.
Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan witnessed the prince's growth and changes with pride and anticipation. They believed that with such enlightenment education, the prince would surely become a benevolent, wise, and courageous ruler in the future.
Under the gentle care of Li Shu-yi, the young prince of Liang Kindom is gradually growing up, learning and developing every day.
Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan are full of expectations for his future. They carefully selected a group of knowledgeable and skilled masters to ensure that the prince receives a comprehensive education from a young age—not only in literature and history, but also in martial arts.
The morning sun shines through the window lattice, casting a vibrant figure on the martial arts training ground.
The prince is following his martial arts master, a martial arts expert named Lu Wushuang, to learn swordsmanship. Lu Wushuang is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has a keen mind, earning the trust of Xiao Yan and Chao Qinglan.
"Your Highness, the key to swordsmanship lies in the unity of heart and sword. Every swing of your sword should be an extension of your intent," Lu Wushuang demonstrated while giving careful guidance.
The prince's small hand tightly gripped the sword, his gaze focused, and a determined expression on his young face. Following Lù Wúshuāng's movements, he also swung the sword, the sound of the sword whistling through the air. Although his movements were not yet proficient, he already displayed an extraordinary momentum.
"That's it, but remember, speed is not the only aspect of swordsmanship. More important is the precision and control of strength," Lù Wúshuāng nodded in satisfaction, seeing the prince's talent and potential in swordsmanship.
Watching quietly from the side, Chao Qinglan felt gratified to see the prince so focused on his studies. She knew deep down that in the days to come, the prince would need to possess the ability to protect himself and Liang Kindom.
The gentle breeze brings the coolness of early summer, sweeping through every corner of the Liang Kindom palace. In such a beautiful moment, Empress Zhao Qinglan is sitting in her carefully tended garden, trying to find some solace from the heavy state affairs.
Xiao Yan, the affectionate and wise emperor, walks slowly towards her, holding a steaming bowl of herbal soup.
" Qinglan, you should take a rest," Xiao Yan's voice was gentle yet firm, filled with concern and care.
Chao Qinglan smiled softly, knowing that her body was no longer as strong as before, especially after giving birth to three children and then two more at an older age. The years of hard work and stress, whether in stabilizing the Liang Dynasty or guarding against the invasion of Northern Wei, had clearly left her feeling exhausted. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She took the medicine soup and sipped it lightly, feeling the care from her husband.
Xiao Yan sat beside her, gently covering her hand with warmth and strength. "We have shouldered too much together, Qinglan. But you should know that the burden of the country is not solely your responsibility. We are partners, and we promised to face everything together."
Chao Qinglan's eyes flashed with a touch of emotion, and she gazed deeply into Xiao Yan's eyes, where she found all her support and comfort. "Your Majesty, I know. Sometimes, I'm just afraid..."
"Afraid of what?" Xiao Yan asked softly.
"Fearing that our children will bear too much pressure, especially Yuelan and the little prince. They are still too young, and the future path is uncertain..." Chao Qinglan spoke with a hint of hesitation and concern in her voice.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, understanding the weight of his responsibility as both the ruler of the country and the father of four children. "We can only guide them and help them learn to face difficulties. As we grow older over the years, the future of the children still depends on their own choices."
Night falls, and the lights of the palace gradually come on. The conversation between Chao Qinglan and Xiao Yan in the garden becomes increasingly profound.
The steam from the medicinal soup slowly dissipates in the night breeze, but the warmth between them grows even stronger. Chao Qinglan sets the empty medicine bowl aside, her thoughts seeming to grow heavier as a result.
"Your Majesty, I often ponder whether our children's future lives will be bound by their royal status, unable to freely pursue their true happiness."
The voice of Chao Qinglan is filled with deep concern, reflecting her thoughts on the future fate of her children as a mother.
Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment, then answered seriously, " Qinglan, I have the same concern. But I believe that as long as we give them enough love and guidance, they will eventually find their own path. Whether it's the princess or the little prince, they will have the right to choose their own destiny."
Chao Qinglan leaned gently on Xiao Yan's shoulder, feeling the firmness and support from her husband. In the moonlight, the shadows of the two intertwined, like their unbreakable bond.
"We need to ensure that they have the wisdom and courage to face all possible challenges in the future," Xiao Yan continued. "Regardless of the path they ultimately choose, it is important that they can be true to themselves and live out their authentic selves."
Chao Qinglan nodded, her heart gradually filled with confidence.
