Hearing several people, including her own son, say this, Li Wanting seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing and felt a little embarrassed.

"In that case, I'll spare you today." Li Wanting's tone was a little far-fetched.

"Thank you, master. Thank you, master." The nanny kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, as if she had been pardoned.

"Madam, please leave immediately." Hongshi ordered.

"Yes." The nanny quickly ran away, fearing that Li Wanting would get angry again.

"Forget it, you don't have to be so angry. It's normal for children of this age to be a little playful. You don't have to be too harsh on them." Qi Yuebin said earnestly.

"Yes. I still have to go and discipline Hongshi, so I won't keep you and the two sisters to talk." Li Wanting bowed, as if to drive them out.

Several people also understood what Li Wanting meant. They didn't plan to stay for long, so they left.

After they left, Li Wanting grabbed Hongshi's ear and went into the house, "Hongshi, what do you want your mother to say about you? Your father only has you as his son, and you don't know how to live up to your expectations!"

Hongshi stammered, "Mother, calm down. I know I was wrong."

"What did you learn today?" Li Wanting asked, preparing to check Hongshi's homework.

"Mother, I learned the Analects today." Hongshi replied, seeming a little nervous.

"Recite it to mother." Li Wanting's tone became gentle.

Hongshi rolled his eyes, lowered his head and recited, "Confucius said, 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and to practice what you have learned? Having friends... Having friends..."

He couldn't recite anymore after just a few sentences. He looked at Li Wanting timidly, knowing that she would be angry.

Li Wanting was also very anxious when she saw Hongshi like this. "You are so unskilled. It's okay if it's your mother checking today, but what if it's your father? You know his temper. From now on, there is still time. Memorize it immediately and recite it with your father. Don't wait for him to check. If you don't see your father again, he will almost forget about you."

"Yes, I understand, son." Hongshi smiled shamelessly and said, "Don't worry, mother. Father will not forget his son. After all, I am his only son." Hongshi held a glimmer of hope. He thought that no matter what he did, Yinzhen loved him.

After saying that, Li Wanting began to teach Hongshi carefully, "The Master said, 'Is it not a pleasure to learn with a constant desire to practice what one has learned? Is it not a joy to have friends coming from afar? Is it not a sign of a gentleman to not feel angry when people do not know him?'" And so on, over and over again.

Time flies so fast. The mother and son studied for a whole afternoon and it was already evening. The soft moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, making it exceptionally bright. The mother and son looked particularly warm under the moonlight, with the mother being loving and the son being filial.

Li Wanting had already instructed the servants to prepare dinner.

"Cuiguo, go and ask the prince to come over."

As soon as the words fell, Cuiguo's face was troubled. "Master, it's not that we haven't invited the prince before, but the prince has never come once."

Li Wanting's eyes widened. This girl actually dared to talk back! She was quite courageous. Li Wanting said unhappily, "Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you nagging? If the prince doesn't come, just say that the prince has learned his lessons and wants to recite them to the prince."

"Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, Cuiguo ran away, fearing that Li Wanting would be angry.

"Really? He's so hesitant when I tell him to." Li Wanting said to herself.

Then she quickly told Hongshi, "Hongshi, when your father comes later, you must recite it carefully, just like your mother taught you this afternoon. You must not let your father down, understand."

"Yes, mother, I'll remember it." Hongshi listened to Li Wanting very much. Li Wanting held him in her arms. Tonight's favor all depended on him.

Cuiguo trotted all the way to Yinzhen's study. Huh? The door was closed and the lights were off. Was he not there?

"Xiao Xiazi, where is the prince?" Seeing Xiao Xiazi standing outside the study door, Cuiguo stepped forward and asked.

"The prince and eunuch Su have entered the palace and haven't returned home yet. I guess they will be back soon. Miss, please wait at the door for a while." Xiao Xiazi looked up at the sky and estimated the time. Yinzhen should be back soon.

Cuiguo stood aside and waited quietly, feeling anxious, "What if the princess gets anxious? Your Highness, please come back soon. The princess is waiting for dinner."

Did God hear her prayer? Immediately, the voice of Eunuch Su came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, please return home!"

The prince is coming! The prince is coming! Cuiguo's nervous mood immediately eased a lot. As long as she could invite Yinzhen back, everything would be fine.

Yinzhen walked to the door of the study and saw a strange face. "Who are you? Which room are you from? I don't recognize your face."

Cuiguo replied, "Your Highness, I am Cuiguo, the servant from Concubine Li's room."

"Oh Cuiguo, what are you doing here?" Yinzhen looked at her carefully. She was very nervous and didn't dare to look up.

"Your Highness, Concubine Li invites you to have dinner over. The prince is also here and said he wants to recite his lessons to you." Cuiguo said softly.

At this moment, Su Peisheng looked up at Yinzhen and said, "Your Highness, this is the first time that the prince has recited homework to you. You should go and take a look." Su Peisheng was also persuading.

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Yes, it is indeed the first time. How come this child is so motivated? It makes me a little uncomfortable. I have to go and take a look." After saying that, they walked towards Li Wanting's room together.

"Hongshi! Hongshi! Hahaha." Yinzhen walked towards Hongshi, playing with the bracelet in his hand.

Hearing the call, Hongshi ran out of the house, and Li Wanting followed closely behind him, "Greetings to the prince."

"My son pays respects to my father."

Yinzhen picked up Hongshi and weighed him. "It's a lot heavier."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Hongshi has grown taller again." Li Wanting stood aside, with an unstoppable smile on her face. It was obvious how long it had been since she last saw this man. She looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes. In her eyes and in her mind, it was all about him, clear and stupid.

"Your Highness, please come in quickly. I have already prepared dinner." Li Wanting stayed around Yinzhen with a smile. She missed this boy band so much.

"Okay, I'll see what delicious food you've prepared. I'm hungry too." With that, several people went into the house.

As soon as he sat down, Yinzhen looked at Li Wanting, as if he was attracted by something.

Li Wanting raised her head and met Yinzhen's eyes. She avoided his gaze and lowered her head shyly. "Why do you look at me like this, Your Majesty? I feel embarrassed." She smiled shyly.

"I think your dress today is nice. The pink color is delicate and looks really good on you." Yinzhen looked at the shy Li Wanting, thought about it, and became interested.

Hearing Yinzhen's praise, Li Wanting smiled and said, "The prince is used to joking." Although she didn't admit it, she still silently remembered in her heart that Yinzhen liked to see her wearing pink clothes.
