Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 271 Personal Teaching

But even with his own supervision and hands-on teaching, Ji Nai's learning progress and results were still hard to describe. In the end, he gave up and lowered his bottom line again and again. He no longer required Ji Nai to learn well, but only asked her not to give up learning.

It is precisely because of this that Kangxi had such a deep impression that Ji Nai was a fool. Even though he had doubts about Ji Nai, he never suspected that she was playing the pig to eat the tiger.

So when Kangxi heard Ji Nai say that she was just teaching Cheng Rui, he had this reaction. Kangxi's first thought was that Cheng Rui had suffered, and his second reaction was, would Ji Nai mislead his students?

"Your Highness!" Ji Nai was furious when she saw Kangxi's undisguised expression. What did Kangxi mean by this? She admitted that her performance was a little worse at the beginning, but she was not really young, so her learning ability was naturally weaker. Isn't this a very normal thing?

Besides, "Your Majesty, I have worked very hard to teach you!" Although the effect was not very good, and she had even forgotten how to pronounce many words, Chengrui's thirst for knowledge was very strong. He always asked, always asked, and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

In the end, the mother and son could only look at each other in silence, awkwardly wanting to end this teaching and learning as soon as possible, but the servants around them were helpless and just stood there motionless, completely unaware that the two masters were in urgent need of a step.

"Well, your mother is already very busy managing palace affairs. If she has to teach you, it would be too much work. Why don't you send someone to teach you?"

Under Ji Nai's angry glare, Kangxi's desire to survive took over and he chose to say nothing and rescue Ji Nai first.

However, Ji Nai was not satisfied with the plan proposed by Kangxi. "Since we are selecting people to teach, why don't we just go to school and start formal enlightenment learning?"

Kangxi did not expect that Ji Nai would waver in his decision because of this incident and want to go back on his previous "promise" to him. That was not possible because he had already promised Chengrui.

"Of course it's different. Without a foundation, Chengrui will have a hard time learning. What if he can't keep up with the teacher's progress?"

Kangxi was talking pure nonsense. Chengrui was the only prince of the right age in the palace. Could it be that the teacher Kangxi invited for his son would dare to ignore Chengrui's progress and only follow his own pace?

However, Ji Nai's original intention was not to allow Cheng Rui to enroll immediately, so he pretended not to realize this, "But..."

Seeing that Ji Nai was a little hesitant, Kangxi continued, "You don't need to learn anything before entering school, but you have to start learning Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese languages, and you should also recognize the characters."

Kangxi was still very concerned about Chengrui's studies, so he considered it seriously, but in the end, his concern for Chengrui's health prevailed, so his requirements were lowered again and again.

"I don't understand academic matters, nor can I have a say, so I can only rely on Your Majesty to arrange it. That is, who is Your Majesty going to let teach? Anyway, I am not qualified for it."

Speaking of the selection of candidates, Kangxi, who was talking eloquently just now, choked up. Indeed, if we ask the ministers of the previous dynasty to teach, what is the difference between that and going to school? Besides, foreign ministers cannot enter the harem, so it is better to go directly to the South Three Institutes.

"How about I teach you?" Kangxi hesitated for a moment, but finally said this. Actually, this was the worst option, but it seemed to be the most suitable method.

"Your Majesty? You are so busy, this won't bother you, will it? Otherwise, I will teach you. At worst, Your Majesty can come and check if I have taught you wrong."

The further she talked, the lower Ji Nai's voice became. There was nothing she could do. She felt guilty. Not only was the method she proposed more troublesome, she still had to trouble Kangxi.

"Let me teach him. Chengrui goes to the Qianqing Palace for half a day. When I am free, I will teach him one or two words. Over time, it will be enough. Chengrui is so smart, there will be no problem."

Seeing that Ji Nai was about to refuse, Cheng Rui quickly said, "Cheng Rui wants to learn from Father Ma." It's not that he disliked his mother, it's just that the previous experience was too bad. There were several times when his mother pronounced the same sentence differently.

"Then it's settled. From now on, Chengrui will spend half a day studying in the Qianqing Palace, and spend half a day accompanying Saiyin Chahun in the Shoukang Palace."

Chengrui kept nodding, "Chengrui can still teach his younger brother."

Although this was Ji Nai's purpose, why did she feel so uncomfortable watching this scene? She felt as if she was disliked by both father and son, and could not fit in with them at all.

"Hmph! Your Majesty, just spoil Chengrui. You said before that Chengrui would go to school later so that he could spend more time with me. But now, he is not in Zhongcui Palace during the day. It seems that he was just playing tricks on me."

Kangxi and Chengrui looked at each other, as if they were only concerned with their own wishes and ignored Ji Nai's feelings. Are they angry?

Kangxi explained: "How could that be? I was not thoughtful enough before. I neglected that Chengrui should not have no foundation at all when he entered school. It's better for you to be careful, otherwise Chengrui will make a fool of himself."

Chengrui nodded desperately, indicating that his father was right. "It's all because of my mother's carefulness, otherwise Chengrui would be laughed at. Thanks to my mother."

Ji Nai glanced at Cheng Rui sideways, "You just now disliked my mother and Your Majesty. You are busy with government affairs, but you still insist on teaching Cheng Rui in person. Isn't it because you don't trust me?"

Kangxi and Chengrui both felt guilty under Ji Nai's questioning. Damn, it seemed that Ji Nai/E Niang was really angry.

Kangxi decisively took the lead, hugged Ji Nai's waist and comforted him, "How could that be? I taught you personally, how could I be worried? I'm just afraid that this kid is stupid and will make you angry."

Chengrui looked at his father in amazement. He never expected that he was so beautiful and innocent that he was sold out by his own father.

Although Kangxi felt a little guilty, he finally chose to abandon Chengrui. After all, a son is always a son. But if Ji Nai was really angry, he would probably have to go back to the Qianqing Palace and sleep alone tonight.

He said to Chengrui with a serious face: "When your mother was at home, she had no chance to study, but after entering the palace, she devoted herself to learning, and she has not stopped even now. This hardworking mentality is very worthy of your learning."

"Didn't mother go to school before?" This was the first time Chengrui knew this and he looked at his parents in confusion.

Kangxi suddenly didn't know what to say. Was he going to tell Chengrui that your mother's previous status was too low, that she was from a bondservant family and that according to the rules she could not read?

Kangxi was afraid of hurting Ji Nai's feelings, but Ji Nai had no such concerns. She told her son frankly, "Yes, according to the rules, my mother was not allowed to study before. It was only after she came to your father's side that he knew that my mother had a desire to learn, so he taught her personally."

Chengrui looked at his mother, then at his father, and then back to his mother, and then he solemnly apologized to Ji Nai, "Mother, Chengrui was wrong. Chengrui didn't know that you had a short study time before, and thought you really..."

Chengrui swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. His mother was actually very capable. Although he had never seen her study, he thought that it was probably because he did not pay attention to it.

"From now on, Chengrui will study with my mother. When my brother grows up, I can teach him personally." Originally, Chengrui planned to teach Saiyinchahun himself, but if it was my mother, he was willing to bear the pain and let his brother go.

Looking at Chengrui's cute appearance, all the negative emotions in Ji Nai's heart disappeared, but when she heard that she was going to study with Chengrui, her expression suddenly froze, and she was rejecting it with all her heart.

She doesn't want to!

In the past, Ji Nai really wanted to learn more, but his teacher Kangxi was too abnormal. Because he was excellent, he thought that everyone had a talent for learning. He treated himself with high standards and high demands. During that time, Ji Nai was almost driven crazy.

With great difficulty, she managed to escape the disaster by taking advantage of her pregnancy. Later, Chengrui was born and the palace was in turmoil again. It seemed that Kangxi did not remember to let her continue studying, so Ji Nai thought that she had forgotten it too.

As a result, she didn't expect that her sudden act of pretentiousness would end up hurting herself.

Ji Nai was about to refuse, but Kangxi smiled and accepted it for her, "That's great, you and your son can study together in the future."
