Chapter 439 My heart aches and my liver aches

The next day, Li Ling returned from teaching Brother Xuan how to practice martial arts, and went to his daughter's bedroom with Jing Shu.

Although Sister Xiaobao had woken up, she was still curled up in bed lazily holding her rag doll. The little girl didn't know that her parents were here to catch her to study. When she saw Li Lingjingshu come in, she slipped out of the quilt.

He came out and said with a sweet smile: "Dad, mother, why are you here together today?"

Li Ling walked to his daughter's bedside first. He quickly gathered the quilt around his daughter's body and said with a crooked brow, "It's cold in the morning. If you get up, you have to put on clothes first."

As he said that, he subconsciously picked up the clothes on the side and wanted to put them on his daughter himself, but Jing Shu snatched them away.

Jingshu handed the clothes to her daughter and said, "Sister Bao is sensible and can already dress herself."

After all, Sister Xiaobao was worried about her mother. She made a face at her father and put on her clothes.

The wet nurse and the palace maid brought the toiletries, and after waiting for Sister Bao to wash and put them away, the little guy came over and pulled Li Ling and said: "Dad, mother, I'm hungry, let's go and have breakfast quickly. Today is in the royal dining room

Have you made anything delicious? Have you made my favorite osmanthus candy cake?"

Jingshu pulled her daughter and said to her: "Sister Bao has already turned six years old. Mother and father have decided to send you to the study room to let the masters teach you from today. You will have breakfast later. Mother

I will take you to the study room."

When Sister Bao heard this, the little guy was stunned for a moment. Then she looked up at Li Ling who was sitting beside him. Seeing her father's sullen face, the little guy's big black eyes flashed twice, and a large drop of crystal light appeared.

The little tears rolled down.

Although Li Ling's face was still tense, his strong shoulders began to tremble slightly.

Jing Shu quickly cast a warning look at Li Ling, and Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief before holding back her heart.

Jingshu continued to say to her daughter: "You are the same age as my brother. Now that my brother has been in elementary school for more than a year, he has already learned all the subjects well, so you have to start learning too."

Sister Xiaobao wiped away her tears and muttered unconvinced, "I also learned to ride horses from my father, and my riding ability is no worse than my brother's."

Jing Shu said to her daughter in a persuasive way: "Sister Bao is really good at riding a horse, but you have to learn other subjects as well, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. These are things that girls should learn, and you should also learn them well."

When Sister Bao heard this, she pouted her mouth, lowered her eyes, and murmured in a low voice: "I'm still young, how can I afford to learn so many things?"

Jing Shu replied: "Dad and mother don't want you to learn so much all at once. Let's take our time and start with something simple."

Sister Bao pouted, holding the corner of her clothes with her little hands, and lowered her head in silence.

When Li Ling saw his little daughter's aggrieved look, he touched her head and gently advised her, "We have just started learning. We only need to study for half a day every day. We study in the morning and play in the afternoon, okay?"

Sister Bao finally waited until her father spoke. The little guy raised his head and looked at Li Ling, cried "Wow", and yelled: "Daddy really doesn't love me anymore. He actually teamed up with my mother to force me."

Me, wow wow wow—"

Seeing that his daughter was sad, Li Ling subconsciously held the little one in his arms and coaxed her hurriedly: "Sister Bao, don't cry, good daughter, oh! Don't cry, don't cry!"

When Jing Shu saw her daughter pulling such a trick again, she pulled Li Ling over and rolled her eyes at him angrily. Then she said to her squirming daughter, "I have to go to the study room to study today. Let's go have breakfast right now."

, after breakfast is finished, go to the study."

After all, Sister Bao was a little afraid of Jingshu. When the little one saw that her mother looked unkind, she stopped crying, covered her face with her two little hands, and replied with a sob: "You force me to study like this, how can I survive?

meal."

While crying, Sister Bao secretly glanced at Li Ling through her fingers, hoping that her father would support her.

"Even if you don't eat, you still have to study." Jingshu was worried that Li Ling wouldn't be able to hold on anymore, so she said this and quickly pulled him away.

Li Ling was pulled back to the main hall by Jing Shu. He looked downcast and sighed: "The child is crying like this and refuses to eat. What should I do if he gets sick?"

Jing Shu said seriously to Li Ling: "I told you, she is crying just to show you. If you continue to indulge like this, when will you be able to enlighten her?"

With that said, Jingshu pulled Li Ling to sit down at the dining table and continued: "You eat quickly and then go to court. Seeing that my daughter doesn't have your support, I will naturally have a way to send her to the study room."

Li Ling was forced to pick up the jade chopsticks and just about to pick up the dish in front of him, he put it down again. He sighed and said: "This child is so troubled that she won't eat. You just sent her to the study room. Where is she?"

Be able to have the strength to study.”

Brother Xuan, who was having his breakfast, glanced at his father who always looked so cold and solemn when he heard words, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Li Ling rolled his eyes at his son and said angrily: "You brat, why are you laughing?"

Brother Xuan replied seriously: "Dad, by pampering my sister like this, do you want her to follow in the footsteps of the previous princesses?"

Today, there are still two princesses from the previous dynasty who have not yet surrendered, Qingluan and Qingyuan, living in this palace.

One is stubborn and the other is domineering, both of them are not good.

When Li Ling heard that his son compared Sister Bao with those two, he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, how could your sister be like them?"

The eldest princess and Emperor Ming's father, Emperor Wu, doted on the eldest princess Fu Xi. Emperor Ming also doted on the eighth princess Qingyuan to no end. Now it is Li Ling's turn, who is also a daughter slave.

In the Zhao Dynasty, all the emperors in the past generations had a consistent streak of pampering their daughters.

Jing Shu didn't want her daughter to be spoiled by Li Ling. She glared at Li Ling and replied, "Brother Xuan is right. If you continue to indulge like this, I'm afraid your little princess will also be spoiled."

After listening to what his wife and children said, Li Ling finally made up his mind and said, "Then I will send her to the study today, and that's it."

As he said this, he warned Jing Shu in an extremely worried tone: "Just bring some pastries with you when you send her there. She won't have any breakfast. Don't be starved."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Sister Bao walked in on her own.

When Li Ling saw his daughter finally coming over, he hurriedly greeted her: "Sister Bao, today the kitchen has really made your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake. Come and use it, otherwise it won't be sweet after it cools down in a while."

Sister Bao walked to the dining table and sat down on the small chair. The little guy raised his eyes and glanced at Li Ling, then held his chubby little face with his hands, pouting and sighing: "Today I will be sent away by my cruel parents."

I have gone to study, so why am I in the mood to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Li Ling picked up chopsticks, put a piece of candy cake on his daughter's plate, and gently coaxed her: "Good daughter, have a good meal."

Sister Bao glanced at her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake in front of her, but she pouted and sighed: "My stomach is growling from hunger, but when I think about going to the study, my mouth gets angry."

, can’t eat at all.”

Jing Shu couldn't see that this cunning little daughter had come to show Li Ling again, just hoping that Li Ling would be soft-hearted and support her from studying. Jing Shu gave Li Ling a warning look and said to her daughter with a wooden face: "

If you don't want to eat, then don't, but you have to go to the study today."

Sister Bao glanced at Li Ling again aggrievedly. Li Ling's thin lips moved slightly, but in the end he still endured it under the sharp gaze cast by his wife.

During this breakfast, Li Ling didn't take a single bite and went to court with heartache and liver pain.
