After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

"The food you eat is grown by farmers, the brocade you wear is woven by embroiderers, and the hairpins on your head are carefully carved by hairpin women who spent months."

"Everything you have comes from the people of all nations."

"Every penny you spend is the people's blood and sweat!"

"Ask yourself, you've been supported by the people since you were born, but have you ever given them even a little bit of feedback?"

"Have you done anything useful for the people?"

"Just because you're from a royal family?"

"If you've read history books, you'll know that the so-called royal family is the administrator who stands above the people. If the people can't survive, the first to be targeted are the royal family!"

Zhong Ning's voice became even colder, his eyes like arrows, and he approached Murong Xin step by step:

"What have you done for the country? How dare you accept support from the people?"

"What virtue have you shown yourself that you dare to call yourself noble?"

"Why do you work for the people? How dare you treat them like ants?"

Murong Xin stumbled back at the questioning and nearly fell to the ground. Looking at Zhong Ning's ashen face, she couldn't help but reply guiltily, "No, I didn't say the people were ants, I was talking about those slaves!"

"Aren't they common people?" Zhong Ning pointed at the busy figures outside the window, then at the several bewildered maids standing by. "He, she, they, aren't they common people?"

Murong Xin's face turned red when she was accused, and her pink little fists were clenched tightly. She didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"This world belongs to the people. Even if we rule the world for a while, we should not neglect the people!"

"As a human being, you need to be respected!"

"I know you may not understand now, but it doesn't matter. When you are outside the palace, if you observe and listen more, you will understand what I am saying today!"

"Forget it!" Zhong Ning sighed, "You've been frightened today. Go back and rest first. I don't need your help here for now!"

"I..." Murong Xin bit her lip tightly. She also knew that Sister Zhong had not intended to ask her for help today. She was just worried that she would have wild thoughts when she was alone, so she asked her to come and sit with her.

But now, why did it suddenly become like this?

Murong Xin was a little confused and didn't know how to deal with such things. In the past, others always flattered her and no one dared to make her angry.

But today, someone dared to point at her nose and question her in front of her what merits and virtues she had, and how dare she rely on her noble status?

She just felt that her mind seemed to be a mess at the moment, chaotic and confused, with no idea what to do!

She walked out of the princess's mansion in a daze, not knowing where to go.

She couldn't find the answer and didn't know where she had gone wrong, so she had to wave her hand and order someone to call a carriage and rush to the palace.

If she didn't understand something, she would ask her father!

The emperor is the ruler of all people, he will definitely be able to help her solve her doubts!

...

At the same time, because of Zhong Ning's words, the four maids Suxin, Jingxin, Wanxin and Liangxin all knelt on the ground.

Because Zhong Ning's words did not look down on the working people all over the world, but rather showed respect and protection to them.

"Alright, get up!" Zhong Ning personally helped them up one by one and made the four of them stand in a row. "You guys will naturally have benefits if you stay with me."

"You can think about it. Besides your current jobs, do you have any other hobbies? For example, you might want to learn martial arts, medicine, embroidery, or painting..."

"I allow you to study a subject of your own liking outside of your duties. I will hire a teacher to teach you specifically!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately knelt down again.

Su Xin was a little excited and said tentatively: "I know some words and can do some simple accounting. I want to learn more about this. I only hope to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess in the future!"

"can!"

Seeing Su Xin doing so well, Jing Xin couldn't help but try to speak: "I know some basic medical knowledge, but I'm not proficient in it. I wonder if it's still too late to learn now?"

She spoke carefully, fearing that Zhong Ning would be unhappy.

Zhong Ning smiled faintly and consoled him, "Any skill, as long as you concentrate on learning it for two years, you can at least master half of it. Even if you can't master half, you can probably master one-third. You're only sixteen this year, there's still time for everything!"

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!" Jingxin knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "I will study hard and serve Her Highness wholeheartedly!"

"Well, in two days, His Majesty will send an elderly imperial physician to the Princess's residence to serve as a court physician. The Princess's residence will be his retirement home. I will recommend you to learn from him then."

"But let me be frank. I allow you to study, but only after you finish your work or during your breaks. It cannot take up your normal time!"

"Yes, we understand!" the four replied in unison.

"Your Highness is so kind to me, I cannot be ungrateful. But I am a loner and have no other hobbies. I just want to stay by the princess' side and take good care of her!" Wan Xin said.

Zhong Ning looked at her as if he saw her for the first time.

In the past few days, Wan Xin and Liang Xin came to the princess's mansion in advance to take charge of everything, and they were very attentive.

Zhong Ning didn't want to treat her unfairly. "Do you know how to read? Can you write?"

Wan Xin thought for a moment and replied, "I recognize it, but it's not written well!"

"Then practice your handwriting. I have a hobby of writing storybooks, but I'm too lazy to do it myself, so I'll rely on you then!"

Wan Xin's eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded repeatedly to assure him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely study hard!"

"What about you? What do you want to learn?" Zhong Ning turned to Liang Xin and asked!

"Your servant, your servant..." Liang Xin bit her lip slightly, as if a little embarrassed, "When I was a child, there was a flood in my home. I was so hungry that I couldn't survive, so I was sold by my parents. That's why I like to eat!"

After saying that, she quickly looked up at Zhong Ning, then quickly lowered her head.

Look at other sisters, some like to study medicine, some like accounting, some like calligraphy, but she likes to eat!

Her Royal Highness the Princess must look down on her!

Liang Xin's little head drooped lower and lower, like an ostrich, trying hard to hide herself.

But unexpectedly, the next moment, no mocking voices were heard. Instead, Zhong Ning said with great surprise: "I like to eat it too. It's the best delicacy I've ever had in my life!"

Liang Xin suddenly looked up and ran into Zhong Ning's smiling, encouraging eyes. Then, feeling a little embarrassed, she twisted her handkerchief and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, is it the same?"

"Yeah, what's there to be embarrassed about? Who doesn't like delicious food?" Zhong Ning continued, "I not only like to eat, I also like to study food."

"How about this, you can learn cooking from the cook in your free time, stew some soup, and make some snacks."

"This way, after you get married in the future, if you don't want to work in the princess's mansion, you can open a small shop and do some small business!"
