Adoption brings disaster

It is said that to educate a child well, both words and deeds are essential. In the original world, there were so many trivial matters that it was difficult to teach by words and even more difficult to teach by deeds. I didn't expect that in this different world, I would get the position of a tutor.

I have always been a very responsible teacher. Now that I am rich and have a high status, I am naturally even more attentive. I observe him every day, give him advice from time to time, and educate him every moment. It didn't take long for me to understand the Seventh Prince very well.

In a sense, the Seventh Prince is a likable student. Although he has done many bad things, he is not a bad person by nature. He is also extremely talented and able to endure hardships.

Under my careful education, and without the bad influence of A Da and the others, he soon became a good kid, at least that's how he appeared in front of me.

Although the Seventh Prince still quarrels with me from time to time over various matters, he is still considerate. The servants have seen my methods and serve me very attentively. This kind of life is really comfortable.

But I know that this good day may just be the calm before the storm, because there is a particularly big trouble on the way, and it is a particularly big trouble that I must deal with.

It is said that at that time, the beginning of spring had just passed and the rain had not yet arrived. Qianqiu Pavilion had excellent gardeners serving it, and there was already a hint of spring in the air.

Qianqiu Pavilion is less cold than winter and more warm than spring, but it is still a bit cold.

I practiced the White Rat Magic for more than ten days in a row, and my body became much stronger than when I entered the palace. The Seventh Prince went to school, and I sat outside leisurely basking in the sun. My body was warm, and it was so comfortable.

"Who?" Taoist Tianshu shouted from the roof.

Although Ruofeng had been prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he really faced it.

Just when Ruofeng was nervous, he heard a clanging sound coming from the roof. Within a few breaths, he saw Taoist Tianshu fall to the ground and shouted in pain: "Someone, there is an assassin."

The well-trained guards outside now seemed to be dead. No one rushed in, and there was not even a sound.

The other people serving in the pavilion were also locked in by a powerful aura and could not make any sound. The Qianqiu Pavilion was now as silent as a ghost town, and any movement would be torn into pieces by evil spirits in an instant.

I was lying on the chair with my eyes half closed, when I saw a man suddenly appear in front of me. He slapped me in an instant, and the chair behind me was shattered. I also fell to the ground, upside down.

When the man saw me fall to the ground, he didn't make any extra movements and just looked at me coldly without saying a word.

After a while, I came back to my senses, holding my sore butt, I opened my eyes and looked at the person who came. Sure enough, it was the King of Zhenbei.

Although I had anticipated what would happen today, I was still terrified when the aggressive King of Zhenbei attacked.

But I knew that I couldn't show the slightest fear, otherwise educating the Seventh Prince in the future would be harder than climbing to the sky, so I could only pretend to be calm and look at the King of Zhenbei.

Seeing me stand up calmly and composed, King Zhenbei became even more furious and said with a cold smile, "I think you also know that what you did is worthy of death, so you look like this, are you ready to die?"

I brushed off the dust on my body, endured the pain and stood up, laughing and teasing, "I knew you would come, and I also knew you would come to bring an army to accuse me of something, but what kind of army are you bringing? What crime are you accusing me of? Your Highness, you are extremely powerful, of course you can kill me on this trumped-up charge."

After hearing this, the originally angry King Zhenbei became furious. The murderous intent in his body made me feel like I was drowning. I was so terrified and suffocated that I couldn't even speak.

The King of Zhenbei stared at me like a tiger staring at a rabbit and said, "You beat Guang'er, you starved Guang'er, are these all fake? You still dare to question Xing about his master and his crime? Do you think I'm a fool? How dare you flatter me."

I looked at the King of Zhenbei, who was like an unreasonable parent. I got angry all of a sudden, and I actually broke through the King of Zhenbei's murderous intent. Suddenly, I felt very comfortable, as if I were alive again.

I struggled to take a step forward, staring into the eyes of the King of Zhenbei with a bit of grievance and anger and said: "I am acting on behalf of my father. If the child is wrong, shouldn't I be beaten? Chongguang is a prince, shouldn't he keep his promise? He said he didn't want to eat, do you want me to kneel down and feed him?"

"You are so good at making excuses and making clever arguments. Do you think I dare not kill you?" The King of Zhenbei was even more imposing. The chirping of insects around him was frightened away by this strong murderous aura.

I am also afraid of death. I am also afraid that after being tortured by the King of Zhenbei, he will kill me as easily as stepping on an ant.

But I know that if I get scared now, I will no longer be able to control the Seventh Prince.

I would rather die now than be bullied by a naughty kid for more than ten years and then die with a stigma on my back.

I used up all my strength and took another step forward. My nose was almost touching the face of King Zhenbei. I could clearly hear his rapid breathing due to anger.

I looked at the King of Zhenbei, whose face was flushed with anger, and sneered sarcastically, "You, the King of Zhenbei, can kill anyone you want. Who dares to say no? Just like the Seventh Prince, he can beat anyone he wants in this palace. Who dares to say no?"

The King of Zhenbei probably didn't expect me to mock him, or maybe he didn't know how to refute me. He was silent for a while and then uttered the famous saying of the Bear family: "Guang'er is still a child. Even if he is a little naughty, the people in the palace will never be as rude as you and bother with a child."

After hearing this, I was really furious. I didn't even want to see the face of King Zhenbei. I rolled my eyes at him and walked to the corridor to sit down, turning my head away without even looking at King Zhenbei.

After I sat down, he said angrily, "You are the best in the world, the commander of an army, and the king of a country. How can you say such ridiculous things? It's other people's business whether they care or not. It's your great Sun Chongguang's business whether he hurts others or not. Just because others don't care, does that mean Chongguang can hurt others at will?"

The King of Zhenbei wanted to say something, but I didn't give him a chance. I turned around and looked at him and continued, "Don't you know what Chongguang did in the palace? Can these things be covered up with the word naughty? Evil is evil. Even if no one says anything, as long as it is done, this evil will never disappear."

The wind from the north blew, rustling the branches and blowing away the thick breath of the King of Zhenbei. Or rather, the breath of the King of Zhenbei dissipated, and the wind blew in. The wind came, and brought everyone's original voices.

There were all kinds of noises in the pavilion where you could hear a pin drop. King Zhenbei said in a slightly gentler tone: "What you said is not unreasonable, but Guang'er is just a child. If the child is wrong, just teach him well. There is no need to beat him."

"Have you been to see Chongguang?" I didn't want to pay attention to these words, so I just glanced at King Zhenbei and asked.

After hearing this nonsense, King Zhenbei was obviously stunned for a moment. After a moment, he subconsciously shook his head to indicate that he did not go.

"Are you so arbitrary in the military? You don't ask questions, don't care about the evidence, and just believe one side of the story to convict people? If you kill me today, I will become a lonely ghost with no place to seek justice."

If the prince's momentum weakens, then mine will be stronger, I said in an accusing tone.

After hearing this, King Zhenbei immediately understood something, and the expression on his face changed, which was very beautiful.

I called out to Chunyu, who was anxious but afraid to come forward, and said, "Please have some tea."

Seeing that I wanted tea and that King Zhenbei didn't say anything, Tiandi Shanchuan hurriedly moved the table and chairs over, and stood obediently on both sides, lowering their heads and not daring to move.

Chun Yu was naturally terrified, but he was more experienced than the heavens, the earth, and the mountains. Although he was terrified, he still managed to speak: "Your Highness, the emperor gave you the newly-produced Biluochun the other day. Would you like to try it, my Lord?"

I am not in a good mood with the King of Zhenbei right now, and I said coldly: "Your Highness is not in the mood to drink tea right now. Besides, the tea from our small courtyard is too good for your Highness to appreciate. You can enjoy it as you like. Anyway, for someone as evil as me, it is the grace of your Highness that I can have a sip of tea. How dare I ask for good tea?"

Chunyu was shocked to see that I was actually using words to pressure the prince, but when she saw that the Prince of Zhenbei didn't say anything, she didn't dare to speak or leave. I asked Chunyu to take care of it, and then she went downstairs. After a while, she made tea and came up.

After a slap, you should give me a date. I pretended to understand and said, "Your Highness, we met through chess and know each other well. As the saying goes, one's chess character reflects one's character. I absolutely do not believe that you are a bad person, let alone someone who condones others' evil. You came here today to question me, but it is just an old man's love for his grandson."

I looked at Taoist Tianshu on the roof in the distance. It seemed that nothing was wrong, so I felt relieved.

Then he added earnestly, "But your love isn't genuine love; it's flattery. A child is like a blank sheet of paper. If you teach him to be good, he won't necessarily become a good person, but if you indulge him in evil, he'll definitely become a bad person. Do you really want Chongguang to grow up to be a bad person, despised by thousands and cursed by tens of thousands?"

The King of Zhenbei was no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, he sat up straight like a student and said, "Of course I don't want to."

I pointed at Taoist Tianshu in the distance and said, "Taoist Tianshu often says that the prince's martial arts have reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Haven't you noticed that Chongguang's martial arts have made no progress in the past few years? Taoist Tianshu has been in the palace for three years and has never seen Chongguang three times. Isn't this just a lack of knowledge and skills?"

"Children are young and they love to play by nature. When they grow up and become sensible, they will naturally study literature and martial arts well. Besides, Chongguang is a prince and he is a talent for governing the country. It is not so important whether these martial arts are powerful or not." The prince still made excuses for the seventh prince as usual.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Chongguang is young and loves to play, so he needs someone to supervise and motivate him. Since you and the Imperial Concubine can't do it, then let me be the villain. At least in the past ten days since he entered the cabinet, Chongguang has been getting up early every day to practice martial arts, and his diligence has led to some progress."

Hearing this, the King of Zhenbei's eyes suddenly lit up. I sighed in my heart that no one would not want their children to become better, and then said: "Daoist Tianshu often sighed that Chongguang was extremely talented and had excellent bones and muscles. In the future, his martial arts skills would not be inferior to the prince."

Hearing me praising the Seventh Prince, King Zhenbei scratched his head with a smug look on his face.

I continued, "Zhongguang has such a great talent, and he has such a good teacher like Taoist Tianshu. If he doesn't have supervision, wouldn't his talent be wasted if he doesn't work hard for three days and rest for two days?"

This is what parenting is all about. It requires a battle of wits and courage, and both soft and hard words must be said. As long as you speak to the child's heart, the matter will be easy to handle.

Having said that, what follows is nothing but official jargon that I'm familiar with.

Moreover, in this age without the Internet, the original official jargon has become heartfelt advice that makes people happy. Naturally, the more I talk with the King of Zhenbei, the happier we become.

"I heard that my grandfather entered the palace, but why didn't he come to see me? Is he pestering Yuan Qing to play chess again and doesn't even want me as his grandson?" I was chatting with the Prince of Zhenbei when I heard the seventh prince's cheerful shouts from afar.

The Seventh Prince is really talented. After hearing his voice for a while, I saw his figure appear in my sight.

Seeing the Seventh Prince like this, the King of Zhenbei was stunned. He pulled the Seventh Prince and kept saying, "When did my Guang'er become so powerful? I didn't even know it. We really need to celebrate."

The Seventh Prince looked at the sawdust on the ground and understood what was going on. He shook off the hand of the King of Zhenbei, threw himself on me, and said in a disgusted tone, "Grandpa, are you losing your temper because you can't beat you at chess?"

I smiled and looked at King Zhenbei meaningfully and said, "No, he just wanted to scare me."

When the prince saw me point out the purpose of his visit today, he was somewhat surprised and said with emotion, "You are so kind-hearted that you even know this. No wonder I am no match for you in chess."

When the Seventh Prince heard what the prince said, he also took my hand intimately, sat on the same chair with me, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you can't bully Yuan Qing just because he is better at chess than you."

The King of Zhenbei looked at the Seventh Prince between the two of us with some jealousy, and complained, "I've never seen you care so much about anyone before. We've only been together for a short time, and you're already protecting him like this."

After hearing this, I realized that the Seventh Prince had been in a protective posture the entire time. I smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "I already said Your Highness was just trying to scare me. It's not nice for you to act like this."

The Seventh Prince was not embarrassed, he just laughed and went to the King of Zhenbei again.

This is exactly the relationship between generations. King Zhenbei was particularly pleased with it. He hugged his grandson and kept praising him. I also joined in the praise. The scene was very warm, and even Chunyu and the others were originally much more relaxed.

After chatting for more than an hour, King Zhenbei looked at the sky, stood up and said, "I still have some official business to deal with, so I'll take my leave today. You've taken good care of Guang'er, very good."

Then he looked at the dirty Taoist Tianshu on the roof and the wood chips that had not been cleaned up yet, and then said: "I am sorry for what happened today. I will give you an explanation." Then he flirted with the Seventh Prince for a while and disappeared.

When I saw the prince leaving and the seventh prince who was still sticking to me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that this matter was resolved, the rest of the work would be much easier to carry out.

As for what exactly the King of Zhenbei will tell me, let’s see the details later.
