“Even if you’re not the daughter of the third brother, you need to learn about rules and etiquette.” Sang Zhi said in a serious manner.

“Who is as idle as you are?”

“I’m very busy and have to study until late every day.”

“……”

“I heard you’re six years old, you can’t be so lazy.” Sang Zhi said.

“What’s wrong with being six years old, what rules do I need to learn as a little girl in the countryside?” Ye Qianning rolled her eyes. Good and evil depend on people, rules can’t determine people’s hearts.

Especially some princes, nobles, descendants of the royal family, who do not treat common people as human beings just because of their status.

It’s all about showing justice in the public, and keeping all the mischief in secrecy.

“Learning about etiquette has nothing to do with status.”

“Have you ever been to the countryside? If I’m learning to greet people and learn the rules, who am I going back to do it for? It would be weird if people don’t laugh at me for being crazy.”

“You……”

“What? You learn etiquette and rules. Your status is noble, your clothes are dignified, you just need to stretch your hand for food and open your mouth. What other people learn is the way to survive.” Ye Qianning saw that he did not seem to understand very well, then added: 

“You don’t understand the countryside people, and they don’t understand your knowledge, because they live in different environments. It’s okay to be yourself, but you can’t force everyone else to be like you.”

Sang Zhi stared at her in silence, and lowered his eyes for a moment as if contemplating her words.

“Anyway, everyone has their own aspirations. Children should not worry too much, otherwise they will easily become old men.” Ye Qianning sighed.

A ten year old child that had no childishness at all, in a few years he would undoubtedly become an old man.

“You cannot carve rotten wood.” Sang Zhi looked up, his small face bulging with anger.

*Rotten wood cannot be carved is used to describe a person who has always been unable to transform or whose quality has deteriorated to the extreme, and is incurable. 

Ye Qianning immediately became happy. She thought this small old-fashioned kid was deep in thought, but she didn’t expect that he was angry.

This was the expression that a child should have.

“Rotten wood can be carved into flowers. Would you like me to carve it for you some day?”

“You…… hmph.” Sang Zhi grunted heavily, his small hands flung behind his sleeves as he turned to leave.

Ye Qianning raised her hand and touched her little nose. This small old-fashioned kid still wanted to lecture her. If he came a few more times later, she would teach him to be a better kid.

Sang Zhi walked all the way back to the yard, thinking back to the words of Ye Qianning. The more he thought about it, the more he felt what she’d said was right.

“Eighth brother.” Sang Yan happened to see him at the courtyard entrance.

Sang Zhi looked up: “Third brother, why are you here?”

“I heard that you didn’t return to the palace, so I came over to take a look.”

“Master Fanghua will be staying at the Prince’s Mansion for four days. I thought it would be too troublesome to leave the palace every day, so I asked Uncle to inform my father and Emperor. When Master Fanghua leaves, I will return to the palace.” Sang Zhi said.

“If you are not used to living in Uncle’s Mansion, you can come to the third brother’s residence.”

“Thank you, but Uncle’s Mansion is also quite good. Third brother doesn’t need to worry about it. As for you, third brother, have you taken care of that matter?”

Sang Yan thought of those four people and sighed: “Sort of.”

“That’s good.” Sang Zhi nodded.

“You should rest early. Third brother will come again tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Sang Yan turned around with a heavy heart. When Xiang Minghou returned to the capital city, there would be some trouble with the child’s affairs.

After all, whether it was Gu Shuo, Xiang Minghou, or Qian Fanji, they were all influential figures in the Imperial Capital. If word of such things spread out, something big was bound to happen.

“Third brother.”

A calm and childish shout interrupted Sang Yan’s contemplation.

Sang Yan had already walked far away, and when he heard the shout, he turned around and looked at the faint silhouette: “What’s wrong, eighth brother?”

In the darkness, Sang Zhi’s face was solemn, and his childish voice was very serious.

“Third brother, I want to go to the countryside.”

“……”
