Chapter 7, Learning at One Year Old

Lan Ziyun also looked at Yu'er in surprise; this child always astonished him

Yuer, you must learn martial arts; your mother will not harm you. This world is one where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. If you lack the ability, you will be bullied, and your mother does not want her daughter to be bullied by others. You know that if your mother did not possess martial skills, she would have died countless times by now. Where would you be today!

She was about to back down at the thought of this, gently raising her head to look at her mother, whose smile was as radiant as a flower, and then at the handsome and smiling Lan Ziyun. If she didn't want to learn anymore, she swallowed her words back down.

Good! Good child! It is enough that you can understand your mother's heartfelt intentions said Princess Yuxuan, stroking Yuqing's little head, her voice choked with emotion

Wang Yuqing deeply regretted it; in this lifetime, no, not even in her previous life had she ever done anything she regretted. The incident in the study was the only thing she regretted.

I... I am still young! Mother can wait a few more years to teach me!" Yuqing said cautiously, looking at her mother's not-so-pleasant expression.

"Yuer! Did you hear what your mother said or not?" Princess Yuxuan looked at the little one's big eyes blinking, clearly indicating that she had not been paying attention to what she was saying

Ah? Yuqing exclaimed, her small mouth agape, looking in astonishment at Princess Yuxuan and Lan Ziyun

What is that?" The two of them stared at her in surprise and spoke simultaneously

She nodded repeatedly, her little head bobbing like a chick pecking at grains. Of course, she was not satisfied; how could she be satisfied? She just wanted to play

Then... Mother! Can Yu'er only learn literature and not martial arts?" Yu Qing bit her lip and looked at Princess Yu Xuan, hoping to learn less.

"En? Yu'er does not want to study?" Princess Yuxuan thought she had misheard and stared at her in a daze

Ah? Yuqing's little mouth opened even wider

"Hmm? What does Yuer want to say? Are you not satisfied with such arrangements?" Princess Yuxuan smiled as she looked at Yuqing, asking with a smile.

Yuer? The Princess Yuxuan was suddenly pushed aside, staring blankly at Yuqing

No... that's not it! Yuqing looked at them and scratched her head

I don't want to! Mother! I..." Yuqing hurriedly ran over and embraced Princess Yuxuan, pleading. She did not want her wonderful childhood to be ruined.

"Mother! I do not want to learn martial arts." Yuqing struggled, as she had no desire to learn any martial skills. The sight of knives and swords frightened her; she was afraid that she might accidentally injure herself.

Yuqing acted as if she had not heard anything, completely ignoring her.

She has never seen such an unreasonable mother, what child learns at the age of one? In the twenty-first century, she was already four years old when she started kindergarten, and this is only one year old, isn't it too early?

"Ah? What did mother say?" Yuqing indeed looked at her in a daze and asked

"No need to say more, I think this is quite good, it saves you from always running around, not having a moment's rest, and letting your mind wander." The princess Yuxuan immediately interrupted her regarding the rain situation.

Is Yuer really not satisfied? Then how about we change it to your mother teaching you in the morning, and I will teach you in the afternoon, is that acceptable? Lan Ziyun also looked at her and thought for a moment before speaking

"No, you must learn," Princess Yuxuan said firmly, looking at Yuqing's frustrated little face.

However, all the reasons and benefits combined cannot outweigh her fear of hardship Wang Yuqing's greatest passion in life is sleeping in, but learning martial arts requires getting up early

Yuqing let out a cry, saying that this is not what she meant! She simply does not want to study, and what is the need for morning and afternoon classes?

Wasn't it once enviable that Xiaolongnv from "The Return of the Condor Heroes" could sleep on a steel wire? That requires exceptional internal strength and lightness skill. Now she has the opportunity to learn, and also the chance to make her dreams come true. Has she lost her mind? How could she not want to learn?

Wang Yuqing cannot bear to see beautiful women in tears; in a moment of anxiety, she sold herself.

Princess Yuxuan looked at Yuqing, sighed softly, and said slowly, her tone filled with helplessness and weariness. Her pair of watery eyes was already brimming with tears

Mother! Why are you so domineering?" With her protest once again falling on deaf ears, Yuqing glared at Princess Yuxuan, pushed her away, and turned to sit on the bed in anger

Ah! What are you thinking, child? Your mother originally planned to wait until you were a bit older to teach you things, but now I feel that you are different from other children and possess great talent. Therefore, I discussed it with your Uncle Lan and we have decided to start teaching you from tomorrow. I will teach you music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while your Uncle Lan will teach you martial arts. What do you think?

No, that's not it! Yuqing is stunned; she is only one year old! She hasn't even had a proper two days of play yet! She doesn't want it!

"You child, look how happy you are. Your mother knows you cannot stay idle, and she will definitely be pleased." Princess Yuxuan smiled.

Mother?" Yuqing hurriedly ran over and embraced her again, saying, "I will learn, Yuer will learn, Mother, please do not be sad.

I... I don't want to learn anything!" Yuqing looked at the two of them, swallowed hard, gritted her teeth, and finally said it out loud. She had been holding it in for so long.

Since Yu'er has agreed, we will follow this plan tomorrow. Rain Xuan, you should not be sad anymore" Lan Ziyun said, looking at Princess Rain Xuan to offer her comfort

Moreover, it can also save her life; after all, she is someone who has died once. This life must be cherished. She does not wish to pass away so early. She continuously finds reasons for herself to learn martial arts.

"Good!" Princess Yuxuan released her embrace around the small body of Yuqing, gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and smiled as she spoke

Mother! Uncle Lan! Can I not study?" Yuqing looked at the two confident individuals and said cautiously

"What are you saying?" Princess Yuxuan looked at her in surprise, her voice rising in pitch. She could hardly believe that her daughter actually said she did not want to learn anything.

Hehe... It seems that Xiaoyuer is truly very happy, so it's settled. I will teach her martial arts in the morning, and you will teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting in the afternoon; this way, there will be no conflict.

"No! Starting tomorrow, whether you want to or not, you must study." Princess Yuxuan issued the command with a resolute attitude

Indeed

What does Yu'er want to learn? Your mother's talents are indeed rare in the world, and although Uncle Lan's martial arts cannot be considered the best, it is still no problem for him to teach you. Lan Ziyun also looked at Yuqing with confusion

Wang Yuqing sighed softly, wondering if her childhood had truly come to an end. Reflecting on herself, she questioned what had gone wrong. Wasn't she the one who had been afraid of having nothing to do?

"No, both literary and martial skills must be learned, that is settled." Princess Yuxuan seemed to consider for a moment, then shook her head

She had scolded herself countless times, but it was too late. She glanced at her little mother, who was looking at her with a serious expression, and then at Lan Ziyun, who was also silent. Given their personalities, she knew that her difficult days were about to begin
