Chapter 1131: Moving
He had also heard from the Princess Consort that the young masters in the Prince’s estate would only get married after they turned 18 in the future. Since she wanted him to teach them about this, he naturally couldn’t just simply talk about the differences between men and women and the birds and the bees. Instead, he should discuss it in greater depth.
Imperial Physician Wang rubbed his chin and started to ponder about the lesson plan.
Having given lectures to the young masters, mostly imparting some medical general knowledge, he was no stranger to teaching.
Unbeknownst to them, the kids now had another “biology” course. Every day, when they happily returned from the palace, what greeted them was no longer delicious food, but Imperial Physician Wang’s smiling face.
The children were shocked. Tiger Head and Imperial Physician Wang stared at each other, while Little Lion quickly rummaged through his bag to find the class schedule. Frowning, Little An said righteously, “Imperial Physician Wang, your class is once every seven days. Your class isn’t scheduled for today.”
“I know this, but that’s the previous curriculum.” Imperial Physician Wang took out a new curriculum from his sleeve. “This is the curriculum that Her Highness just prepared. I was asked to add a class every two days. Young Masters, don’t worry. There aren’t many classes. If everything goes smoothly, we should be done before the new year.”
The children were originally a little dissatisfied, but when they heard that this class was so short, they were curious. “After only three months? Isn’t this too fast?”
Little An took the curriculum and frowned. “Yin-Yang theory? What is that? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
Seeing that even the most knowledgeable Little An had no idea what it was, Tiger Head and Little Lion quickly turned to look at their big brother.
Little Bear also frowned and shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it either.”
Imperial Physician Wang said with a grin, “Yin-Yang theory is actually the simplest theory. All things in the world are divided into Yin and Yang. For example, men are Yang while women are Yin…”
Imperial Physician Wang explained to them softly as they walked. This was their first lesson of Yin-Yang theory.
While Imperial Physician Wang wasn’t a teacher, he had a great sense of humor and was familiar with the few young masters. Hence, even if his lectures were not fascinating, they still intrigued the children. Therefore, the five children listened very seriously.
Little An and Tiger Head were excited and even asked for more lessons.
Imperial Physician Wang, as the teacher, was naturally happy that his lectures were well-received by the students. Hence, he complied with the children’s request to have extra lessons. It was only when Mu Yangling finished preparing dinner and asked Winter to call the children over for dinner that they dispersed.
Mu Yangling picked up two pieces of vegetables for Little An and Xiaofu. After reminding them not to be picky with their food, she said, “I’ll get someone to send you back later.”
Little Fu buried his head in his food while Little An shook his head. “We’re going to sleep with Tiger Head and the others tonight.”
“No.” Mu Yangling said, “Someone from the palace has come to announce the decree. Your father has just been promoted from Duke to Prince, so there must be many guests coming to your place. Moreover, your maternal grandfather and the others are still living at your place. As the young hosts, how can you not be at home?”
Little An wrinkled his nose and looked at Little Lion. They were actually planning to discuss how to deal with the teacher tonight. If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have let Imperial Physician Wang give them an additional class just now. They had really miscalculated.
Mu Yangling continued, “You’re a prince. Now that your daddy is in the palace, you’re the only one in the family who can help your mother share the burden. Your mother could be overwhelmed if you don’t go back.”
Little An sighed and said maturely, “Alright, I’ll go back after dinner.”
However, Little Bear was very puzzled. “Daddy has also been promoted from a Prince to a King. Why aren’t there any guests at our house?”
“…” Could Mu Yangling say that it was because their father was mighty and majestic, while she was unapproachable, therefore very few people dared to visit their house?
However, even though there were not many guests who came to visit, they had received many gifts. According to Zhu Liang, he had been working non-stop receiving those gifts today.
Tiger Head wiped his mouth and said, “Those people must have gone to Second Uncle’s house first before coming to our house. Brother Little An, why don’t we accompany you back to entertain your guests and then you can come to my house to help us entertain our guests?”
Little An’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea.” This way, they could continue discussing things at night.
Little Lion received Little An’s signal and quickly expressed to Mu Yangling their strong wish to sleep over at the Duke’s Residence.
The children of the two families often stayed over at each other’s place. Just like how Little An and Little Fu had their own rooms here, Tiger Head, Little Lion, and the others also had their own rooms in the Duke’s Residence. If it were in the past, Mu Yangling would have agreed without thinking. But now, Little Madam Xia’s family was staying over at the Duke’s Residence. Wouldn’t the two children cause trouble if they went over?
Little Bear seemed to know what his mother was thinking, so he patted his chest and said, “Mother, I’ll go with my younger brothers. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of them.”
When the boy-girl twins heard that their big brother was going too, they made a fuss about tagging along.
Mu Yangling looked at the boy-girl twins pitifully and said, “If all of you go to Uncle Fan’s house, I’ll be all alone at home…”
Baozhu quickly touched her mother’s face and said, “Not pitiful, not pitiful. I’ll accompany you.”
Little Leopard hesitated for a moment, looking at his mother and then at his brothers. When Baozhu saw this, she smacked his head and lectured him sternly. Because she spoke too quickly, no one present could understand her except for Little Leopard, who retorted with clenched fists.
In the end, under Mu Yangling’s pitiful gaze and the suppression of Baozhu, Little Leopard stayed behind to accompany his mother. Little Bear brought his two younger brothers, Little An, and Little Fu to the Duke’s Residence.
The Duke’s Residence was brightly lit as they walked in and out. The plaque on the door had already been taken off and was only waiting to be replaced with a new plaque.
Little Lion asked curiously, “Big Brother, why wasn’t our plaque taken off?”
“Mother is lazy.” Little Bear said lightly, “She must be planning to wait for the new one to arrive before removing the old one. Otherwise, she’ll have to work twice.”
Little Bear brought the four children into the residence and turned to Little An. “Your family will probably have to move again. Even as the Duke’s Residence, this residence is a little small. Now that your father is a Prince, it’s even more inappropriate as the Prince’s Residence. However, there are people living on the left and the right, and your family can’t very well just chase them away.”
Back then, Fan Zijin was anxious to be rid of Fan Siwen’s control, so he casually picked a residence left behind by an official from the previous dynasty. After some simple repairs, he moved in. In the past few years, he had been away in either Lingnan or Guangzhou and hadn’t spent much time living in the Duke’s Residence. Hence, not much renovation had been done, which explained why it was in a more inferior state than Qi Haoran’s Prince’s Residence.
Now that he had also been promoted from Duke to Prince, the residence would definitely be expanded and renovated.
Little An said in distress, “Where can we move to?”
“Let’s move to Brother Tiger Head’s house.” Little Fu tugged at his brother’s sleeve and looked up. “I want to play with Little Leopard and Baozhu.”
Little Bear winked at Little An. “Aren’t the houses opposite my house empty? When Second Uncle comes back, tell him nicely.”
