The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Shen Yu was becoming more and more satisfied with this cute little apprentice. He was truly worthy of being her man! !

The so-called teaching her just now was actually just to ask my little apprentice what she would be interested in in the future and to provide her with some advice and guidance to prevent her from going astray.

After all, in modern society, we admire craftsmen and artists, but in ancient times, these craftsmen were collectively called artisans, belonging to a group of people with lower status. They had no concept of opening their own shop and becoming a boss, and even if they did, they would be quickly recruited.

Otherwise, almost all top craftsmen would not be in the hands of the royal family and aristocratic families.

The young apprentice's father, Lord He, was the Minister of Rites, whose status was second only to the Minister of Rites, equivalent to the modern Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was responsible for the implementation of court orders on etiquette, sacrifices, banquets, academies, imperial examinations, etc. He can also be understood as being in charge of affairs related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Education.

This official position is already of the third rank, and Lord He is already in his thirties, so there is a great chance for him to be promoted further. Therefore, it is unrealistic for the little apprentice He Meibao, who is a daughter of an official family, to learn the craft herself, which would harm her instead. Fortunately, the dowry of women in ancient times usually included a shop. If she is really interested in design, it is not bad for her to provide some pattern and style designs for the shop under her name, and she can also earn a reputation as a talented woman.

So at first, Shen Yu just wanted to ask her what she was interested in? After all, when she became her apprentice, she said she wanted to take over the "Nichangqu"! Apart from her younger brother, she has never raised a child, but Muer has been a calm old man since he was a child, and what he says is more reliable.

Therefore, she failed to realize that the children's lofty ambitions were often just childish talk. For example, saying they wanted to be a scientist or an emperor in the future were mostly just casual words.

It was obvious that Shen Yu took it seriously... When she heard her young apprentice say that he wanted to take over the 'Parenting and Child Workshop', Shen Yu remained silent...

Should this apprentice teach himself or not?

Although the act of accepting a disciple seems hasty, it is actually a response to the palace's loyalty to her and the desire to help the child realize his dream. Then, it is also a continuation of the friendship between the two mothers. Of course, it is also because of her temper towards her!

But now I realize that my little apprentice's "dream" is quite watery...

He Meijiao, who was watching the whole process, saw the princess looking at her sister in silence. She found it funny but also felt a bit of admiration and gratitude. Although she didn't understand what a dream was, it did not prevent her from understanding the meaning of the word.

My sister has had so many dreams since she could talk, but her family, including herself, always treats them as jokes. When they praise her for being smart and thoughtful, it sounds like doting, but when they say it’s not, it’s just perfunctory…

But Princess Zhuo is different. She may be the first person who takes her sister's "dream" seriously.

The princess would try every means to help her realize these unrealistic dreams and even give her advice. She treated her sister as a peer and respected her ideas. She neither exposed her sister's naivety nor discouraged her sister's curiosity. It was no wonder that her sister was obsessed with the princess after only meeting her twice. If her mother hadn't stopped her, perhaps she would have gone to Prince Zhuo's Mansion every day.

Now, after hearing her sister's dream updated from "Nichangqu" to "Parent-Child House", and then from "Parent-Child House" to "Parent-Child Paradise", the princess was helpless for a while, and then began to guide her sister to speak out her true thoughts, which made her, as a sister, feel ashamed and must reflect on herself! !

At this moment, Shen Yu also wanted to reflect on herself. The apprentice she thought was her successor was gone...

In the past, she always heard that children behave differently every moment, but since she had Muer, she found that the child might just have a small vocabulary and could not express his or her wishes clearly. After all, Muer would do whatever he or she said he wanted to do, and rarely changed his or her mind!

But this little apprentice... in the time it takes her to drink a sip of water, what she wants to do has changed from being a fashion designer to being a toy designer... and she even vowed to inherit her mantle of 'Nichangqu', huh!

However, after all, he is his chief disciple and should have some privileges.

Judging from her so-called "dream", it is nothing more than wanting to make children's own clothes and toys and wanting a designer title. Isn't this just playing house? To put it bluntly, it's all about the sense of participation...

Shen Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile, "Little apprentice, how about the master opening a new series for you?"

The little apprentice turned into a little girl in a second, hugged Shen Yu and answered with admiration, "Master, you are so nice!!" Then he lowered his head and began to count his fingers and said, "I promise I will be good, I will listen to my sister, and I will eat more..."

Seeing this little brat who had always been sticking to his wife, and making endless promises to who knows what, Lu Yingxing was amused. He looked at Shen Yu expectantly and said, "Madam, how about letting me take care of the child in the future? Otherwise, he will be spoiled like this?"

Shen Yu glared at him, "Do you know how to talk? How can this be called spoiling? This is called respecting the nature of children!! Every child is a gift from God to their parents, and they are all unique. They will have plenty of time to become adults in the future. So while they still have the chance to be innocent, isn't it meaningful to leave a little souvenir for their innocent imagination?"

Lu Yingxing knew that his wife had a lot of strange ideas in her head. The fairy thoughts of the goddess... were always different from those of mortals, but he never thought that their fairy world was so humane and would care so much about the thoughts of a child?

Shen Yu's gaze fell on his confused face, and he suddenly understood.

In this era, the word "child" seems to have lost its original meaning. Especially in the families of the rich and powerful, children are burdened with heavy expectations and responsibilities from an early age and must learn to grow up quickly. They do not have much time to enjoy a carefree childhood, but must continue to learn and improve themselves to adapt to this world full of competition and pressure.

What they have to learn is how to gain a foothold in this complex era of imperial power, how to deal with various people in the mansion, such as their biological mother and half-brothers, and how to handle the interpersonal relationships between various mansions.

These are what children must learn as they grow up. For children from ordinary families, they may still have some innocence and joy, but for the children of these powerful families, such luxury definitely does not exist...
