Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 409 Li Lingxunzi

 When Jingshu woke up, Li Ling was already gone.

Now, in addition to practicing martial arts on his own every morning, Li Ling also teaches brother Xuan kung fu, so he gets up earlier than before.

Li Ling has always been self-disciplined, and this is the habit of getting up early every day to practice martial arts. Except for a handful of accidents over the years, he has persisted unshakably.

After Jingshu got up and washed herself, she told Ziyun: "Tell the kitchen to make some minced meat porridge and some shrimp cakes for the prince and Brother Xuan today."

　　　It takes a lot of energy for me to practice martial arts early in the morning, so I need to supplement my nutrition.

Ziyun took the order and left. After a while, Ziyun took Danzhu Bilu and served hot breakfast.

 Liangwan's fragrant minced meat porridge, Liangwan's millet and yam porridge, a plate of golden shrimp cakes, a plate of date paste and sweet-scented osmanthus cake, as well as two braised vegetables, two stir-fried vegetables and one mixed vegetable.

As Ziyun laid out breakfast, he smiled with Jingshu and said, "Brother Xuan is really diligent. He gets up at dawn every day to practice martial arts with my uncle. It's really hard for such a young child to persevere."

After hearing this, Jingshu couldn't help but feel sorry for her son. She sighed slightly and said, "I am planning to discuss with my husband in the past few days to let Brother Xuan take a day off every ten days."

Eminem echoed from the side: "The eldest lady is right, brother Xuan is still young, there is no need to do this, and there is no need to tire the child."

Just as he was talking, Li Ling returned from practicing martial arts with Brother Xuan. Li Ling hung the sword on the wall and went to wash up in the inner room as usual.

Jingshu took off her son's clothes with her own hands and was about to help her son wipe his face, but Brother Xuan took the hot towel and said, "Mom, I can do it myself."

After Brother Xuan washed himself, Li Ling also came out of the bathroom. When Brother Xuan saw Li Ling, his eyes dodged and he called softly: "Father -"

Li Ling didn’t look at him, but simply replied: “Eat first.”

After listening to Li Ling's words, Brother Xuan sat down and started to eat.

Jingshu turned around and asked Ziyun: "Why hasn't Sister Bao come over yet? Are you too lazy to go to bed today?"

Ziyun replied truthfully: "Just now, the wet nurse came back and said that my sister is not up yet."

When Jingshu heard that her daughter was too lazy to go to bed again, her face could not help but darken, and she told Ziyun: "Go and tell the wet nurse later that from now on you will wake her up even if she doesn't get up in the morning. What time has it been?" In Lazy Bed, don’t let this child develop such a bad habit.”

Before Ziyun could answer, Li Ling couldn't help but said: "If she wants to sleep, let her sleep a little longer. When enlightenment starts next year, there will be no chance of getting up early to study and want to sleep."

As he spoke, he ordered the maid beside him: "Go and tell the kitchen to warm up my sister's breakfast. When she wakes up, pack it up and bring it to her room."

Jingshu glared at Li Ling: "My daughter is really going to be spoiled by you."

With that said, Jingshu put a piece of shrimp cake into her son's bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan, how did you learn martial arts with dad today?"

After hearing this, Brother Xuan subconsciously glanced at his father and whispered back: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Jingshu asked Li Ling, "What? Brother Xuan didn't practice well today? He is still young. If he doesn't learn well, you should be more patient with him."

Li Ling nodded and agreed perfunctorily. After breakfast, he left the house, and Brother Xuan followed his father out. The father and son came to the study room. Li Ling said to his son: "I told you when you wanted to learn martial arts. Since you want to learn martial arts, you must be able to endure hardships. You agreed. Now I see you are a little tired. Yesterday You're a quarter of an hour late, and today is late again. Are you so lazy that you don't want to continue studying?"

Brother Xuan looked up at his father and replied in a low voice: "What I want to learn is that I have been sleeping too much these past two days, so I got up late."

Li Ling looked at his son and said, "Learning martial arts requires hard work and perseverance. If you continue like this, you will not be good at it."

After listening to his father's admonishment, Brother Xuan lowered his eyes and admitted his mistake: "Father, I understand, and I will definitely work hard in the future."

Li Ling still said with a straight face: "It's good that you understand your mistakes, but I also want to teach you a lesson, lest you forget your mistakes again after a while."

After Li Ling and his son finished breakfast and went out, Jingshu came to her daughter's room and woke up Little Sister Bao who was sleeping late. Ziyun brought the food from the small kitchen. After Sister Bao had packed it up, Jingshu watched While watching her eat breakfast, he couldn't help scolding his daughter and said: "Your brother gets up at dawn every day, but you sleep until three o'clock in the morning and your mother comes to call you in person before you get up. This is too outrageous. From now on, you have to get up before breakfast, otherwise, mother will not let the kitchen leave food for you."

Sister Bao smiled mischievously at Jingshu and replied, "I don't believe it was my mother who asked the kitchen to leave the food for me. It must have been my father who asked them to leave it for me."

Jingshu glared at her daughter: "Don't think that you can be unbridled and willful with your father's support. You are six years old now, and you will be enlightened next year."

Jingshu was teaching her daughter in her room, when Danzhu hurriedly ran in and said, "Madam, the Crown Prince is in the study room doing an Xuan brother. Please go and have a look."

As soon as Jingshu heard this, she stood up and walked out, asking hurriedly: "Okay, why did he beat my son?"

Danzhu followed Jingshu out and replied, "It seems that Brother Xuan got up late from practicing martial arts these past two days."

As he said that, Danzhu couldn't help but complain: "Brother, really, what's the big deal about a kid who sleeps in and wakes up late, but he actually beats Brother Xuan? I heard Ling Xiao said that the beating is quite severe."

Jingshu felt sorry for her son. When she heard Danzhu's words, she couldn't help but start running.

When she rushed to the study room, she heard Li Ling's stern scolding voice coming from inside: "I will scold you ten times today. If you are late next time, it will be twenty times. If you still refuse to remember, it will be thirty times. You You have to know it yourself.”

Jingshu quickly opened the door and saw Li Ling holding a ruler in his hand and his son standing in front of Li Ling with red eyes.

"Why did you hit him?"

Jingshu rolled her eyes at Li Ling and hurried to her son. She picked up Brother Xuan's little hand and saw that the palm of her hand was red and swollen from Li Ling's beating. Jingshu felt so distressed that her eyes fell.

Jingshu glared at Li Ling angrily: "Brother Xuan is still young, you should be more patient with him. Why punish him for such a trivial matter?"

Li Ling took a deep look at his wife and said nothing. He just said to his son: "I'm going to go on duty. After you wake up from your nap, you must continue to practice Zamabu and use the moves I taught you in the morning. You have to practice it several times."

Brother Xuan lowered his head and replied, "I understand."

Li Ling nodded at his son, then turned around and strode out of the study, hurried to go on duty in the camp.
