Homework? What homework? The little man who had forgotten about this matter was now in a panic.

"What about yesterday and the day before yesterday?" Su Minglang asked without raising his head.

"Hmm!" Nian'er pursed her lips.

Su Minglang didn't get a response for a long time. When he looked up, he saw that the little guy was about to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" she asked coldly, "I've been away for so many days, there should be a page, right?"

"Hehe, hehe, hehe." Nian'er laughed awkwardly for a while, rubbing the corner of her clothes without saying a word.

Su Minglang rubbed his eyebrows vigorously. Looking at Nian'er's expression, he knew without asking that she definitely didn't move a single word.

"Tell me, what do you mean?" Su Minglang considered herself not to be a strict teacher. If Li Zhao had not asked her to do so, she would never have put any effort into this child. Now that she had done what she should do, it was not up to her to decide whether she studied or not.

"I, I..." Nian'er looked up at her cautiously. Seeing that Su Minglang's expression was still calm, she became even more flustered.

She always felt that Su Minglang was exactly the same as Li Zhao in some ways, especially when they were angry. Both of them were people who would not show anger on their faces. However, unlike Su Minglang, the angrier Li Zhao was, the brighter the smile on his face. In comparison, Su Minglang was indeed more acceptable.

"I, I just, just want to play for two more days..." Nian'er explained in a tangled manner.

"Play?" Su Minglang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Haven't you had enough fun after all these years?"

"Or, you just don't want to be controlled by me, so..."

Before Su Minglang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nian'er, "No! No, no!" She felt a little embarrassed and stammered, lowering her head.

"How rude." Su Minglang muttered to himself, glanced at her and sighed helplessly.

"Finish what you need to write these days, and double it!" Su Minglang ordered coldly. Seeing that she only nodded but did not move, he added: "Go now."

"I know, I know!" Seeing that she didn't say anything about sending her away, Nian'er breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and ran away.

"It's okay! It's okay that it didn't happen as Sister Xiao Zhu said!" The little guy ran out and leaned against the wall to comfort his frightened little heart.

Su Minglang was not in the palace these days, and she secretly met with Sister Xiao Zhu several times. Every time they met, Xiao Zhu would remind her again and again to be obedient and sensible and not to make Su Minglang angry.

At first she was indeed unwilling to accept it, but Sister Xiao Zhu said that if she offended Su Minglang, she would be sent back. That place had nothing and was very deserted. She would have to hide from place to place every day and couldn't even have hot meals. No matter from which perspective, Linglong Palace was much better.

What's more, Brother Zhao also wants her to stay here.

Regarding the matter of overdue homework, as a child, she always thought about playing for two days first and making up for it at the end. However, she did not expect Su Minglang to come back early. She had been playing like crazy in the past few days, and no one had ever restrained her like this in the past. She did not think about it at all for a while, until Su Minglang brought up the matter, the result became like this.

In the room, Su Minglang was also a little helpless. She had never gotten along with children before. Perhaps it was because she had not been valued since childhood and matured earlier than her peers. She had seen too many of her brothers and sisters in the clan, so she didn't have a good impression of children.

Now that there is suddenly a child around her, she is also very worried. This matter was put on hold when she was away from the palace a few days ago. But now she is back, and this child will have to be raised by her side for many years. Su Minglang knows that this matter cannot be delayed.

"Xiao Ye, Nan Xing, have you ever raised children?" After Su Minglang said this, he thought that Xiao Ye had been with him since he was young, so it was naturally impossible for him to have time to take care of younger brothers and sisters, so he cast his expectant eyes towards Nan Xing.

"Hmm..." This question obviously brought back some bad memories for Nan Xing. For the first time, a look of worry appeared on her face, which had always been carefree.

“Yes, I have…” She whispered back, “I looked after my younger brother when he was a child.”

When she mentioned her younger brother, the expression on her face became even uglier.

Su Minglang thought about her life experience and quickly realized that the brother she was talking about was most likely born to her stepmother. He must not be an easy person to get along with. In comparison, Nian'er was not that naughty.

"So how do you take care of him on a daily basis? How do you learn to read and write, and how do you behave in society?"

"I just watched him eat. I also have work to do, not to mention teaching him anything. If he gets upset and starts crying, I'll definitely give him a beating!"

The more Nanxing talked, the more aggrieved he felt. At the same time, he was happy that he would never have to see his son again.

Su Minglang fell silent as he looked at her face, which showed a variety of expressions of joy and sorrow. Now it seemed that the experiences of the only one among the three people in the room who had parenting experience were not worth referring to.

But if such a big child was handed over to her, although the child would not starve to death, it would be difficult to teach her.

"Empress, isn't there a saying that goes 'leaders lead followers follow'? As long as she can learn from you, nothing will go wrong!" Xiao Ye, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Her parents only have two children, both of whom were born in the Su family as slaves. She has been with the young lady all the time, not to mention taking care of the children, she can't even see the shadow of the children. It would be better to let her do more work than to ask her to express her opinions on this.

"This is the only way now." Su Minglang pretended to be deep. Anyway, it would be right to let her learn to read first. There was wisdom from predecessors in the books for her to learn.

What's more, she didn't believe that Li Zhao wouldn't think of this!

As for Xiao Ye's suggestion of asking her to study with her, Su Minglang thought about it and decided to forget it. She didn't think she was a good person with a pure heart. If she asked a child to learn those things that were not presentable from her, it would inevitably be misleading for the child.

"That's it!" Su Minglang decided to let herself go, "Xiaoye, you just keep an eye on her these few days. She doesn't need to do any work. She just needs to write ten pages of big characters every day and hand them over to you."

"Oh right!" Su Minglang thought of something and added, "Let's learn Nanxing together too!"

"I have long said that I would teach you to read, but your learning has been sporadic and messy."

"Xiaoye, I'll leave it to you!" Su Minglang decided to leave this troublesome matter to Xiaoye, and she just had to be a hands-off boss.

Anyway, Xiaoye is so good at growing flowers, so it shouldn’t be difficult to teach children!
