Chapter 550: Indecent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Emperor Ling Hui was the grandfather of the little princess and prince!
Yang Quanzi was completely dumbfounded. “What did you say?”
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Qu Yuanxian could only say slowly, “Master Chu is not Gu Chilie’s biological son. Back then, something must have happened. Emperor Ling Hui entrusted the real Eldest Prince to Gu Chilie to raise him. He named him Gu Junyan.” Yang Quanzi’s eyes widened. When he thought of Chu Tianbao’s mother, You Qingshu, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “n.o.ble Consort Ling is Madam You?” Qu Yuanxian nodded. “It’s been more than a year since Emperor Ling Hui announced that n.o.ble Consort Ling is unwell.”
Yang Quanzi recalled the time when Chu Tianbao disappeared and the time matched.
His expression suddenly became serious. He thought for a moment and said, “If our Great Empress is unwilling to submit to the Ling Kingdom, what does Emperor Ling Hui want?”
Qu Yuanxian shook his head. “Teacher, i don’t know either, but he seems to care a lot about n.o.ble Consort Ling and Master Chu.”
Yang Quanzi’s tone was a little cold. “If he values n.o.ble Consort Ling, he won’t separate the child from his mother!”
“He only values the throne. Now that the throne is secure, he wants to have the best of both worlds.”
Qu Yuanxian could not deny it. After thinking for a moment, he told Yang Quanzi about the Bai family.
When the envoys from the Ling Kingdom entered, Bai Wutong had already learned of their ident.i.ties.
If Bai Shining was really Bai Wutong’s biological father, how could Bai Wutong ignore him completely?
Yang Quanzi said to him, “Don’t interfere in this matter. The ident.i.ty of the
Great Empress is not something we can investigate.”
Even if Bai Wutong was unwilling to admit that he was her biological father, he would not be.
As a subject, opening one’s eyes when it was time and closing them when it was time was also a cultivation method.
Qu Yuanxian nodded in agreement. Yang Quanzi knew that if he could not persuade Bai Wutong to submit, his wife and children in the Imperial City of Ling Kingdom would definitely be in danger.
He comforted. “It’s definitely impossible for our Carefree Kingdom to submit to the Ling Kingdom. However, our Great Empress is kind-hearted and has no intention of starting a war. It’s very likely that the two countries will build diplomatic relations peacefully and do business on friendly terms. This, you will have a way to explain when you return.”
When Qu Yuanxian heard Yang Quanzi’s comforting words, he felt a little better.
After talking about serious matters, Yang Quanzi took out the teaching materials that he had yet to complete before he left. He listed them in front of him and said proudly, “This is the teaching plan of our Carefree Kingdom’s primary school! The parts you wrote previously are also here.”
The textbook printed in color paint shocked Qu Yuanxian.
He touched the glossy book. “These were painted on one by one?”
Yang Quanzi smiled and shook his head. “No, we modified it on the basis of the printing technique and created a color printing machine. 1 think such a textbook can be printed in less than 15 minutes.”
Qu Yuanxian was deeply shocked. With the rapid development of culture, how could Carefree Kingdom not be powerful?
He flipped open the book page. It was filled with simplified Chinese characters.
On the way here, he had already learned a lot of simplified Chinese characters. There were still some characters here that he could not recognize, but he could guess based on the gist of it.
It was fine when he read the Chinese literature materal. He could understand the content at the level of elementary and middle school. Moreover, he felt that these teaching materials were very enlightening. The modern ideas that he thought were very controversial were actually placed here for the students to discuss.
He could also understand math textbooks in the first and second years.
After all, he had memorized the multiplication formula and learned the Arabic numerals previously.
However, for content above third grade, those Olympiad questions that were filled with chickens and ducks immediately made his head spin.
Like Yang Quanzi, he had an extremely unbalanced study capability.
His mathematics was really bad.
He really wondered if the students could understand such a difficult question.
Apart from Chinese literature and mathematics, there were other cla.s.ses, such as children from the local tribes who had to learn their own tribal language.
Horse riding, sports, ideological politics, vocal singing, biology, history… All had to be learned, and the subjects were incremented according to the different grades.
Seeing that the children had to learn so much, Qu Yuanxian asked, “Does every child have to learn these?”
He had heard that every child in the Carefree Kingdom had to go to school. If they did not go to school, their parents would be punished.
Yang Quanzi smiled and shook his head. “Apart from primary school, children have to finish secondary school. They can choose high school and university freely.”
The education of children was divided into four specific stages starting from a young age. Moreover, they received specialized education at different stages. Even children who did not like to go to school were accepted by the vocational education college and specially nurtured their various skills to provide new manpower for the various factories.
And the remaining children.
With such an elite and comprehensive education, how could they not be knowledgable?
Qu Yuanxian kept flipping through the book and saw cla.s.sical articles in the books. In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
He closed the book and sighed deeply.
He was not from the Carefree Kingdom and had no reason to stay there.
Moreover, his wife and children were still in the Ling Kingdom’s Imperial City. If he could not complete the mission, their lives might be in danger at any time.
Qu Yuanxian could not sleep. He stood on the balcony and looked over.
The entire Carefree City could be seen at bird’s eye view.
He looked towards a villa in the west. If he had not left the southern frontier at that time, that should have been his home.
Now, it was useless to regret.
Bai Wutong had drunk a little too much wine and felt a little dizzy.
Chu Tianbao carried her horizontally and walked into the Great Empress’ residence as light as a swallow.
Bai Wutong hooked her arms around his neck and bit his chin in her drunken state. She even chuckled. “It’s hard.”
Chu Tianbao’s eyes darkened. “Wife, bite again. There are some places that is not hard.”
Bai Wutong’s face was hot. It was unknown if she was embarra.s.sed by him. “Indecent.”
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who could already walk, leaned against the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Tuantuan looked curious. What were Mother and Father doing?
Afraid that she would see more inappropriate scenes, Yuanyuan held her small hand and shouted, “Xiaobai.”
After a while, several beautiful wolves jumped out of the room.
Tuantuan immediately forgot about her parents and climbed onto Xiaobai’s back with ease. She babbled and kept patting Xiaobai’s b.u.t.t.
Xiaobai moved a few steps perfunctorily, while Yuanyuan sat at the side, constantly preventing Tuantuan from falling off Xiaobai’s back.
When she almost fell, he would make use of the wind power and let her sit steadily.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao stayed in the garden for a while. When they returned to their room, they saw Tuantuan holding onto Xiaobai’s fur tightly. She looked like a valiant female general who was raising her spear and fighting. She kept waving her chubby arms.
When Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared, Xiaobai immediately looked at them with an expression saying, “Brother, I’ve been helping you take care of the child for so long. It’s time for you to take on the responsibility of a parent.” Bai Wutong couldn’t help but smile. She looked around for Yuanyuan.
“Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan?”
Yuanyuan crawled out of from under a pile of wolves. His face, body, and head were covered in fur.
Chu Tianbao looked at the wolf fur floating in the air. “It’s time to brush their fur..”
