The Fourth Master's Dog

Cheng Qiangong

Duofu was still sleeping soundly in the Fourth Prince's bedroom. The little Fourth Prince had already gotten up, dressed with the help of the servants, washed up, had some snacks, and then went to his own small study, where he diligently practiced calligraphy.

While Duofu was sleeping soundly on the bed, the Fourth Prince was writing furiously at the small desk.

Duofu on the bed turned over as if he was tired, while the Fourth Prince on the desk was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy.

Under the guidance of a special nanny, I learned the words that my mother stipulated that I should know today, and also practiced the big characters that I had known in the past.

When everything was finally done, the Fourth Prince put down the small wolf-hair brush in his hand, raised his eyes and looked out the window. He felt that it was still early.

He picked up the basic enlightenment book on the desk and started reading.

I went through the Three Character Classic very quickly because I was already very familiar with it.

The Fourth Prince picked up the Thousand Character Classic again, and this one was even faster.

After reading all the books that need to be reviewed in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese.

The Fourth Prince looked at the dawning sky and felt that he could rest for a while and have breakfast soon.

So she picked up the Emperor's favorite Imperial Annotated Book of Filial Piety and started reading it. Although there were some words she didn't recognize, she could guess by guessing, and then she could go and ask her mother for help in the afternoon.

Even the little Fourth Prince enjoyed reading the complicated and boring Book of Filial Piety.

Perhaps this is the spirit that only those who have wanted to be the king of scores since childhood can have.

It was already dawn outside, and my mother had sent a message that it was time to get up and go to her main hall to eat.

The Fourth Prince stretched his body and went back to his bedroom. He looked at the bulge on his bed with a tiny claw sticking out.

When the Fourth Prince saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Duoduo, the sun is shining on your butt."

The little bulge on the bed was very embarrassing and there was no movement at all.

The Fourth Prince coughed embarrassedly and rolled his eyes.

"Duofu, it's time to eat."

As soon as the voice fell, the bulge on the bed immediately moved, and the little dog's head popped out of the quilt, with messy hair and two fox eyes still closed.

He stretched out his two paws as if asking for a hug, and made some humming sounds.

"Eat, here I come."

Seeing his appearance, the Fourth Prince immediately ordered Xiao Jizi to wash Duofu.

A series of toiletries had already been laid out on the side, in an orderly manner, and were being served by servants.

After Duofu finished washing up, he stayed in Xiao Jizi's arms and followed the Fourth Prince to Concubine Tong's main hall.

After greeting his mother, the Fourth Prince followed her to the dining table to eat.

As his mother was in poor health, the Fourth Prince would usually pay his respects to her after finishing his studies and before meals.

This is also what my mother asked for since I was a child.

The Fourth Prince looked at Duofu who was eating happily beside him and felt that the food in his mouth tasted a little more delicious. He ate half a bowl more than usual.

Concubine Tong took a few sips in the morning and then stopped. The people around her helped her rinse her mouth.

Seeing that the Fourth Prince had eaten half a bowl of rice more today, there was an unconscious hint of heartache in her tone.

"This morning, I was tired from studying, so I ate a little more than usual."

The Fourth Prince pursed his lips awkwardly, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"I'm not tired. It may be that I've been growing up recently, so my weight has increased a bit."

Concubine Tong looked up and down at the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and her voice was as gentle as water, with a hint of nostalgia.

"That's right. In the blink of an eye, you are almost six years old. You will go to the study room next year."

When Duofu finished his meal, he heard Concubine Tong in the next room examining the Fourth Prince's studies.

Duofu listened to the Fourth Prince's extremely smooth answers to Concubine Tong's various questions, and he also asked about the content in the Book of Filial Piety that he did not know.

Concubine Tong had a smile on her face and reached out to touch the Fourth Prince's head.

The tone is gentle and the speed is slow.

"Zhen'er, you have been doing well recently. Your Royal Father likes children who are good at studying. You should work hard to win your Royal Father's favor."

The Fourth Prince put his head close to it and rubbed it, with a look of enjoyment on his little face.

"Okay, mother, I will definitely work hard to win the favor of the emperor and make you proud of me."

Concubine Tong smiled and tapped the Fourth Prince's head, her face full of doting.

"Okay, I'll wait for the Fourth Prince to bring honor to me."

Duofu was feeling sleepy listening to this in another cubicle. He hadn't woken up in the first place in the morning, so it really wasn't worth it for him to get up so early to have breakfast.

Duofu had already fallen asleep in Xiaojizi's arms.

I kept thinking about it before going to bed.

Is it worth getting up so early to eat this breakfast?

How about we just continue sleeping next time?

He is here to be a salted fish, not to be the king of rolls.

Salted fish should look like salted fish.

You should sleep well, eat well and play well.

It would be fine for the Fourth Prince Yinzhen to be the King of Papers, since he likes reading and being an idealistic King of Papers anyway.

Otherwise, how could I get up so early to study?

What time is it?

It seems not very clear.

Duofu's whirring voice could be heard.

On one side, the mother and son are showing their loving heart and filial piety, while on this side, a salted fish with dreams is sleeping soundly.
