"Your Highness's study is not to be barged into."
"I have something to ask your Highness."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Chen in the study said loudly: "Tianxing, let her in."
Zhou Tianxing outside immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Master."
Cheng Xi walked quickly into the study, and as soon as he saw Zhou Chen, he immediately knelt down with a look of fear on his face.
"Your Highness, the girl is missing."
Zhou Chen was not surprised to hear this, as he knew Shi Yi must have gone to the library to read.
Cheng Xi said in panic, "Your Highness, the daughter of a prominent family has disappeared late at night. If the news gets out, it will damage our reputation. I dare not make it public, so I can only come to look for Your Highness."
Zhou Chen said calmly, "Don't panic. Eleven won't wander around. You go back first. I'll go find her. She'll be back soon."
"Your Highness..."
Cheng Xi was still worried, but Zhou Chen just looked at him and said, "Calm down, nothing will happen. You can go back first."
Seeing Zhou Chen say this, Cheng Xi did not dare to disobey. He could only suppress his worries and left the study.
Zhou Chen stood up after she left. He felt funny in his heart. He had just given Shi Yi the key today and she went to the library. It seemed that she really liked reading.
After walking out of the study, he went straight to the library in the backyard. He had spent a lot of time in the library in the past two days, so he was very familiar with it.
When I walked into the library and just went up to the second floor, I saw Shiyi sitting there, lighting a candle and reading a scroll seriously.
Zhou Chen walked behind Shi Yi and deliberately made a noise. When Shi Yi heard the noise, he stood up hurriedly. When he saw it was Zhou Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Zhou Chen.
"I just gave you the key today, and you came to the library. Is it because you miss home?"
Shi Yi nodded gently.
Zhou Chen could understand her feelings. After all, she had never left home and was only a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. It was natural for her to feel uneasy when she suddenly lived in the palace. It was also normal for her to miss home and her relatives.
Shiyi is using reading to distract himself.
Zhou Chen has experienced this kind of mood more than once. He feels it more deeply than Li Shiyi, but he has experienced it more often, so he can naturally control his emotions easily.
He slowly explained: "Your brothers and sisters have always regarded the palace as their own home. Although they call me Master, we all get along as family. You can be like them and don't have to be so restrained."
Perhaps his advice worked, and Shiyi nodded with a smile on her face.
Zhou Chen said: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest, otherwise your maid will come to find me again."
"?"
Shiyi reacted immediately. It turned out that it was her maid Chengxi who went to find Zhou Chen, which was why Zhou Chen came to find her. This made her very embarrassed, and she shook her hands at Zhou Chen repeatedly.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go, I'll take you back."
After extinguishing the candle, Shiyi followed Zhou Chen closely and left the library.
Zhou Chen didn't leave until he sent her back to the yard and handed her over to Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi was relieved to see that Xian Shiyi was safe and sound. She was responsible for taking care of Xian Shiyi, and if anything happened to Xian Shiyi, she could only die to atone for her sin.
Fortunately, fortunately, nothing happened...
He thought that after his reminder, Jin Shiyi would give up the morning and evening visits, but what Zhou Chen did not expect was that on the morning of the next day, when he was preparing to train in the martial arts field of the palace, Jin Shiyi came over with her maid Cheng Xi.
Just as Xi Shiyi was about to pay her respects and kneel down to pay her respects, Zhou Chen stopped her.
"Eleven, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? We don't use this kind of thing in our palace. You don't need to pay respects in the future. Just come to me directly if you have anything to say."
Shi Yi looked anxious, thinking that Zhou Chen was angry. Of course she remembered what Zhou Chen said to her yesterday, but after discussing with Cheng Xi, she finally decided to come and pay her respects.
She couldn't speak and could only look at Cheng Xi anxiously.
Cheng Xi could only explain on behalf of his master: "Your Highness, these rules were given by Madam, and you must follow them."
Zhou Chen said calmly, "I don't care about your rules, but once you enter the palace, you should abide by the rules of the palace. Eleven, let's talk about what I told you yesterday. The rules of the palace are military orders, and everything else can be forgotten. Whether it's morning and evening visits, or eating, clothing, living, and traveling, you don't have to follow so many rules. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Do you hear me?"
Seeing Zhou Chen's serious expression, Shiyi did not dare to disobey and immediately nodded in agreement.
Cheng Xi on the side opened his mouth, but when he saw Zhou Chen's solemn expression, he dared not speak anymore.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1324 My rules are the most important, teaching is appropriate
Xie Chong, the military advisor standing behind Zhou Chen, reminded him quietly, "Your Highness, if you teach like this, the Yi clan will be in trouble."
Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "Since we are in Xizhou, the Yi family can no longer control us. In the palace, everything is done according to my rules."
Having said that, naturally no one else would have any objections, and Zhou Tianxing and other disciples also smiled happily.
In fact, they were all confused by the rules like this by Shi Yi, because they had never had such rules and etiquette before. The little sister's behavior made them seem like they had no manners. Although they all felt pity for this little sister who could not speak, they were still a little depressed.
Now that Zhou Chen said this, they were completely relieved. They were all military personnel and could not follow the etiquette of the Yi family.
"Eleven, after lunch, come to the study to find me."
Shiyi couldn't speak, but nodded happily, then left with Chengxi.
Seeing Zhou Chen staring at the departing Xi Shiyi, Xie Chong frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you worried about Miss Xi's aphasia?"
"Ah."
"The Yi family is the head of a prestigious family. Miss Yi must have consulted many famous doctors for her aphasia, but none of them could cure her. I think Miss Yi's aphasia is caused by a mental illness."
"I understand that heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine. Let's take our time."
Zhou Chen himself is a top doctor. Even if he doesn't know the plot, he can see what's wrong with Shi Yi. She was devastated because she suddenly lost her father.
If you want to cure her, you need psychological medicine, which also takes time. If she has lost her loved ones, then give her support again, and she will recover sooner or later.
In the afternoon, Shiyi obediently came to the study to find Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen waved his hand and asked Chengxi to go out, leaving only Shiyi.
"Eleven, although I nominally have ten disciples, I didn't have much teaching experience before you. Your senior brothers and sisters are different from you. They all learned the art of killing and fighting in the army, so you are my first disciple in the true sense. If you want to learn something, you can tell me directly. If I know it, I will do my best to teach you."
Shi Yi's face was confused. In her mind, when learning from her master, she would naturally learn whatever her master taught her. But if she was asked to express it herself, she really didn't know what to say.
So she made gestures to show that she would listen to her master.
Zhou Chen, of course, understood sign language. He smiled and said, "Don't be shy. What I am best at is naturally martial arts and the art of war, but you definitely don't want to learn these. I also have a basic understanding of music, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and the teachings of sages. Just tell me what you want to say."
Shi Yi frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and replied with sign language: "Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine."
"Okay, let's start with the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. To learn the music, you need to go to the music room. This is my study room, so let's start with chess today."
Of course, Go exists in this world, and it has developed very well. Even ordinary people know about Go, and it is even more popular among prominent families.
As the daughter of the Yi family, Shi Yi was certainly familiar with Go, and she even had a pretty good level at it.
When she heard that Zhou Chen wanted to teach her how to play chess, she immediately smiled happily, then took the chessboard and chess pieces on her own initiative, sat opposite Zhou Chen, and began to learn chess.
The Go of this period is different from that of later generations, but Zhou Chen has already mastered it, so it is not a problem for him to teach him a certain era.
With a diligent, studious, intelligent and lovely student, the teaching time goes by quickly and an afternoon goes by very quickly.
Zhou Chen put away the chess pieces and said, "Okay, that's all for today. Come back to me tomorrow morning and I'll teach you how to write."
Although Shi Yi had learned to write, she still nodded happily. She liked sitting with Zhou Chen and listening to his teachings.
She really learned a lot from playing chess this afternoon. The master's chess style is changeable and she is no match for him at all. The master's patient teaching and explanation made her study very seriously.
After a slight bow, Shi Yi left Zhou Chen's study with her maid Cheng Xi.
After Zhou Chen finished his dinner, his military advisor Xie Chong came to him happily.
"Your Highness, I heard that you taught Miss Yu how to play chess today?"
"Well, Eleven is very smart and learns very quickly. I will ask her to come to me tomorrow to practice calligraphy, and I should take her to piano lessons in the afternoon."
Xie Chong smiled and said, "I was worried that Your Highness didn't know how to teach Miss Li, but it seems that my worry was unnecessary. It can be seen that Your Highness likes this disciple very much."
"Military Advisor, are you free?"
"what?"
"If the military advisor is free, he can go inspect the military camp with Xiaoyu and the others tomorrow. It just so happens that I have to teach Eleven during this period, so I don't have time to go."
Xie Chong's eyes widened immediately: "No, Your Highness, I am so old, you want me to inspect the military camp on your behalf?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "It saves you from teasing me for no reason."
"Ha ha……"
Xie Chong suddenly laughed, and laughed very happily.
"Your Highness, I have noticed that you have changed a lot these days, especially after you accepted Miss Yi as your apprentice. You even stopped inspecting the military camps. This would never have happened before."
In the past, Zhou Shengchen focused everything on military affairs. Even if he stayed in the palace, it was impossible for him not to go to the military camp all day. He would inspect the military camp every now and then, and in the early morning he would take his disciples and the palace soldiers to the martial arts field for training.
But in the past few days since he came back, he left all these things to his apprentice and himself, and he often went back to the library to read books, and even sat in meditation and read in the study, sometimes for half a day.
After accepting him as a disciple, he paid even more attention to this new disciple. He started formal teaching the next day and had a teaching plan.
Zhou Chen asked: "So what do you think of my changes, military advisor? Are they good or bad?"
"Of course it is."
Xie Chong answered without hesitation. Although he was sent by the previous emperor to monitor him, he had already established a deep friendship with Zhou Shengchen over the years and truly regarded Zhou Shengchen as a relative.
In the past, the young King Nanchen only had military affairs and protecting the people in his mind. He had almost no time for himself. All his affairs were official business. He never slacked off and always worked diligently for the people.
This is a good thing, and it is what the late emperor wanted to see, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw it. His Highness has sacrificed too much for the royal family and the world. He sincerely hopes that Zhou Shengchen can be happier and think more about himself.
He saw the recent changes in Zhou Chen and felt happy in his heart.
"Your Highness, since you are free, how about we play a game of chess?"
"Okay."
Zhou Chen did not refuse and started playing chess with Xie Chong. However, after a few moves, Xie Chong frowned.
"Why has your chess style changed so much from usual?"
"The military advisor said that I have changed recently, so isn't it normal for my chess style to change? I have read military books recently and gained a lot of insights, so I have a new understanding and insights into chess. The military advisor should pay attention to this."
After a while, Xie Chong held the chess piece in his hand but could not put it down for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh.
"I have lost. Your Highness's chess skills have improved a lot. I am no longer his opponent."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Military Advisor, you are too modest. I just changed my chess style suddenly and the Military Advisor didn't adapt to it."
Xie Chong shook his head slightly. This was partly the reason, but he could also see that Zhou Chen was always at ease during the game.
Time flies, and two days have passed. During these two days, Zhou Chen personally taught Shiyi, one lesson in the morning and one lesson in the afternoon.
In the evening, Shiyi would go to the library to organize books. Zhou Chen told her not to do so, but she insisted. Seeing that she enjoyed it, Zhou Chen did not stop her.
Today, Shiyi came to the study room happily, ready to have class with Zhou Chen.
Although she has been attending classes these days, she did not feel bored or tired at all. Instead, she was very happy.
The master was especially good to her. Even if she didn't learn well, the master would gently correct her and help her. Moreover, the master was so powerful and knew everything. No matter what she asked, the master could answer it. This made her admire him very much and she looked forward to learning from the master.
She felt that the days she spent studying with her master were the happiest days since she became aphasic, so she looked forward to it every day.
But when she came to the study today, Zhou Chen did not take her to class, but prepared to take her out.
"Eleven, you have been my disciple and have been in the palace for a few days, but you have never been to the military camp, and the king's army has never seen you. Today I will take you to the military camp and let the king's army get to know you."
Upon hearing this, Shiyi's face was filled with surprise. During the days since she came to Xizhou, apart from staying at the post station for two days, she had only been to the city wall once to watch the military parade, and had stayed in the palace for the rest of the time. That was why she was so happy when she learned that her master was going to take her to the military camp.
"Go back and get ready. It's cold outside, so wear more clothes."
Shi Yi nodded, then left the study in a hurry and went back to her yard to change her clothes.
Zhou Chen and his disciples were waiting at the gate of the palace. Soon, Shiyi came over, and Cheng Xi followed behind her.
Seeing Zhou Chen, Cheng Xi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I heard from the girl that you want to take her to the military camp, but she is a noble lady, so she can't..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "I know that Eleven is the daughter of the Yi family, but she is also a member of the royal palace now. It is only natural for me to take her to meet the royal army under my command."
"But……"
"No buts. In the palace, my words are the rules."
Zhou Chen interrupted Cheng Xi forcefully and said, "You don't have to follow me. Eleven will be taken care of by me and her brothers and sisters."
He didn't have any problem with Cheng Xi. He knew that Cheng Xi did everything for Shi Yi's sake, but with her around, Shi Yi couldn't let go.
