"Sir, what right does Madam have to teach me?"

Lin Wan'er really didn't understand why the plan to invite a famous teacher turned out to be to invite Xiao Yunxi. No matter how noble her family background was, she was still a woman. How could she possibly be as talented as a scholar or a juren?

Lu Jingting patiently told her: "Yun Xi has been studying and learning calligraphy with her grandfather, Grand Tutor Xiao, and has also studied with many scholars from the Hanlin Academy in the upper study room. Her knowledge is comparable to that of the top three scholars."

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted into pieces.

In the past, whenever Xiao Yunxi was mentioned, there was only disdain and disgust in the prince's eyes, but just now there was clearly a hint of admiration in the prince's eyes.

She had been in the palace for some time. Although she lived in the old lady's wing, the conditions were much better than in the countryside. Even Nanny Li's food, clothing and other expenses were better than those of the wives of wealthy families in the countryside. She didn't want to go back to the countryside at all.

However, since entering the palace, the prince has never slept with her in the same room...even the number of times they have met is very few...

"But the princess has to take care of the palace every day. Will she be...too busy?"

Lu Jingting looked at her suspiciously and said in a deep voice, "She agreed only after my grandmother and I urged her so much. Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Besides, she is not only well-educated, but also has impeccable manners. If Sister Yuan follows her, she will definitely become a qualified lady from a noble family."

Lin Wan'er felt extremely aggrieved. Did the prince think she was ignorant or unruly?

But she knew that she couldn't continue talking because the prince had a very impatient temper.

She forced a smile and said, "Sir, Wan'er is narrow-minded. I believe in the excellence of the princess, and I believe that you will not joke about the future of the two children."

After saying that, she stepped forward, gently pinched Lu Jingting's sleeve and shook it, and whispered: "Don't be angry, Wan'er is wrong."

Lin Wan'er lowered her head shyly. In the past, whenever she acted so humble and pitiful, the prince would be soft-hearted and would "bully" her severely.

Lu Jingting looked at Lin Wan'er, and instead of being moved as usual, he felt a little annoyed. If Xiao Yunxi acted coquettishly and gave in to him...

"Prince?" Lin Wan'er raised her head in confusion.

"It's okay. I know you're just worried about the child's future." Lu Jingting said gently, "There are still some things I need to discuss with grandma. I'll ask Nanny Li to send Ze'er and Yuan'er over so you can have a good reunion."

"really?"

"Well, you can also tell the two children to listen to Yun Xi in the future. If they do something unruly and lying like today again, I will never forgive them!"

"Prince..."

Lin Wan'er's heart was in turmoil as she watched Lu Jingting leave anxiously. This was the first time the prince had rejected her, and the first time he had scolded her...

After an incense stick of time, Nanny Li brought Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er over.

Lin Wan'er immediately forgot about Lu Jingting, and the only things in her eyes and heart were the two darlings who walked in.

"Hurry, let your mother see you."

He took one in each hand, touched her face and hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Ze has become fatter and taller, and Sister Yuan has become prettier."

Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er smiled and kissed Lin Wan'er on each side of the face.

"Mom, this palace is very fun. Grandma has people prepare delicious food for me and my sister every day, and also gives us a lot of things."

Ze Ge'er was young and had not suffered much in the countryside, but after entering the palace, he was spoiled by his grandmother Ruan and served by maids and servants. He had whatever he wanted and lived a very happy life.

"Yes, mother, my grandmother gave me a lot of jewelry, telling me to wear them when I grow up. There are bracelets, hairpins... so many."

Sister Yuan couldn't wait to hand the small gold bracelet on her hand to Lin Wan'er, "Look, this is what my grandmother just gave me."

"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, mother will be happy."

"But..." Ze bit his lip and said aggrievedly, "The princess' mother seems to like Lu Zhan more than me and my sister. Today, we hugged her arms and acted like a spoiled child, and she wanted to punish us."

Thinking of what happened during the day, Lin Wan'er's heart was gripped. It was children's nature to act like a spoiled child. The princess, the prince, and even the old lady would feel distressed and pamper Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er more when they saw them acting like a spoiled child. But she, Xiao Yunxi, wanted to punish them!

"If the princess bullies you in the future, you can go directly to the study in the front yard to find your father!"

Damn Xiao Yunxi, let the prince see how hypocritical you are!

Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er looked at each other, not understanding why their mother, who had just smiled gently, suddenly became so scary, with fire in her eyes...

They called out cautiously, "Mother..."

"Miss Cousin, it's getting late. My brother and sister need to go back to rest. We have to go to the Crown Prince's Consort for enlightenment tomorrow morning."

Nanny Li had been hiding outside the window. When she heard Lin Wan'er's words, she deliberately emphasized the three words "Crown Prince's Consort" to remind Lin Wan'er of her identity.

Lin Wan'er certainly understood that Nanny Li was warning her, but she didn't dare to fight back and could only watch the child leave reluctantly.

In the middle of the night, she lay in bed, thinking about her son and daughter surrounded by servants and wearing gold and silver jewelry, and she felt that it was worth it to return to the palace.

But when she thought of Lu Jingting's coldness, she began to feel uneasy again.

Xiao Yunxi is not only beautiful, but also very talented. Will the prince change his mind over time?

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er felt as if she was falling into an icy cave. This was absolutely not possible!

Otherwise, the three of them, mother and son, would not only have no chance of surviving, but they might even lose their lives.

Xiao Yunxi doesn't like Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er, and she will definitely not treat them sincerely. The teachers who teach academics will spank their hands, and she will definitely punish them...

At that time, a hint of coldness flashed across Lin Wan'er's eyes...

The next morning, Lin Wan'er got up early and went to the small kitchen to carefully prepare breakfast for the old lady, and she also served the old lady respectfully.

Seeing her obedient and well-behaved appearance, the old lady thought about what Nanny Li had reported to her about what she had said to the children last night, and said in a deep voice, "If you really want the best for the two children, you should know what you can and cannot say! If they are really disliked by the princess, you can take them back to the countryside."

"Madam, I lost my composure yesterday when I saw the two children crying pitifully. I believe in the princess, she will treat the three children equally. Please give me another chance." Lin Wan'er sobbed softly.

"The palm and the back of the hand are all made of flesh, but the flesh on the palm is thicker than that on the back! People are partial to their own children, let alone they are not their own children!" The old lady examined her expression and continued, "Ze'er and Yuan'er were forced upon the princess, and Jing Ting and I asked her to teach them. Don't stir up trouble, and don't be ungrateful!"

Lin Wan'er nodded her head and said yes, looking like she was listening respectfully. Her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and she didn't even notice that her nails were broken.
