Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Not Loving the Wrong Person

"Elder Princess, you have not yet recovered yourself, and should not worry about Sister Nan Xing for the time being. This servant will take her to see Young Master Tang."

Chen Yuexin spoke with concern.

Ruolan also felt it made sense hearing this and hurriedly added, "Indeed, Elder Princess, what is most crucial now is for you to heal your hand. Your hand has not yet fully recovered, and it would be adverse if it were to develop any illness. As for Nan Xing, this servant can take care of her."

Seeing their insistence, Chu Baihan was no longer adamant. She nodded her head and then spoke softly, "Alright, have Tang Zishen take a look at her first. If there is anything uncomfortable, come and report back to me."

"Have the two little ones gotten up yet?"

Chu Baihan continued to inquire.

Mentioning the two little ones, a gentle light flickered in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

With so many things happening these days, she had hardly had time to attend to them.

She had failed in her duty as their mother.

"Yes, Young Master Xixi has been getting up early every day to practice his writing. Initially, Jingjing was somewhat reluctant to leave her bed, but seeing how diligent Brother Xixi was, she felt a bit embarrassed and also started to wake up to read."

Ruolan reported promptly.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

Xixi was indeed very hardworking...

She did not see this as something negative.

Although the two children were still young, they had a long journey ahead of them.

She, as their mother, couldn’t protect them forever.

Therefore, the more diligent they were now, the more they learned, the less hardship they would face in the future.

"Start preparing the morning meal, I will go and see them," Chu Baihan ordered calmly.

"As you wish, Elder Princess."

Before long, Chu Baihan arrived at the quarters of the two little ones.

Before even entering, she could hear the sound of their reading from inside.

They were reciting poetry, each word and phrase was clear.

She pushed the door open.

Thereupon, she saw the two little ones sitting upright in their chairs. Jingjing was reading from a book, while Xixi was reciting with his eyes closed.

Upon seeing her arrival, Yan Jingjing immediately jumped down from her chair and ran quickly towards her.

She spoke with a whimper, "Mother, brother is too scary."

"Scary?"

Chu Baihan was somewhat amused.

How could Xixi be scary?

"Don’t worry, Jingjing. Speak to Mother, what happened?" Chu Baihan asked patiently.

Before Yan Jingjing could reply, Chu Junxi came over.

His little face was stern, looking very much like Yan Lin.

He said with a serious tone, "Father has required us to recite ten poems today. Just now, after reading them a few times, I was able to remember all of them, but Sister could not. I suppose that’s why Sister is a little upset."

"Is that so?" Chu Baihan turned to Yan Jingjing and asked seriously.

Hearing this, Yan Jingjing sniffled.

Her eyes were still red, and she said softly, "Mother, I have really tried hard to memorize them, but I cannot remember as quickly and simply cannot compare to brother."

Back in Yan Country, the tutor at the manor always said she was smart and quick to learn anything.

How come when compared with her brother, she seemed like a fool?

Seeing the disappointment on Yan Jingjing’s face, Chu Baihan hurried to wipe away her tears.

She asked with gravity, "Jingjing, tell Mother the truth about how you really feel about brother being able to memorize faster than you."

What she was more worried about now was that Jingjing was jealous of Xixi.

Hearing her words, Yan Jingjing muttered in a muffled voice, "Mother, I’m not worried that my brother is too smart and then you all like him more. I just feel a bit sad... I used to think that as the elder sister, I would protect my brother in the future. But now I realize, I can’t compare to my brother in anything I learn, so how can I protect him in the future?"

As she spoke, Yan Jingjing could no longer hold back, and big tears were swirling in her eyes.

When she found out Xixi was her younger brother, she was overjoyed in her heart.

Back then, she even silently swore to herself that she would definitely protect her brother.

But now...

It seemed her brother had never needed her protection.

Hearing Yan Jingjing’s words, Chu Baihan finally understood where her trouble lay.

At the same time, she felt a twinge of heartache.

It was her fault, she had neglected these two children.

She thought they were sensible and wouldn’t have other issues.

But she didn’t expect Jingjing to be so sensitive.

"Jingjing, don’t worry. The reason Xixi memorizes faster than you is that he started learning from a very young age, and he has been taught by several Grand Tutors of Nanduan Kingdom, so he’s a bit smarter than average children..."

Chu Baihan said with a deep and meaningful tone.

Since his birth, Xixi had been burdened with high expectations from the Emperor and the Crown Prince, so he was brought up a bit more strictly.

But Jingjing was different, Yan Lin doted on her, and therefore spoiled her a little.

But she was much better than average children.

"Jingjing, you also have many strengths. Look, although you memorize slower than Xixi, your handwriting is prettier, and other children don’t have this skill," Chu Baihan continued to comfort her.

Chu Junxi also came over, then raised his hand, touching Yan Jingjing’s head as if he were an adult.

He said earnestly, "Sister, although you are not as good at memorizing as I am, you are excellent at remembering herbs. Mother has to teach me several times before I can remember those herbs, but it’s different for you, you never forget once you see them."

"Right, that seems true." Hearing this, Yan Jingjing blushed, and smiled shyly.

After a while, she said solemnly, "I understand now, everyone has their own strengths, and there is no need to compare with others. My brother is not only fast at memorizing, but his martial arts are also good. But he’s a little bit worse than me at playing the lute..."

Listening to Yan Jingjing, Chu Baihan and Chu Junxi exchanged glances and she smiled contentedly.

It was good that Jingjing had figured it out.

When Chu Junxi withdrew his hand, he added seriously, "And, sister, just because you were born before me doesn’t mean that you have to protect me. I can also protect you."

Yan Jingjing’s face turned red again, "Xixi, you are right, your sister will never be disheartened again."

Watching the two little ones interact this way, Chu Baihan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are you still unhappy now?" she asked Yan Jingjing with a smile.

"No longer, Jingjing has thought everything through thoroughly," Yan Jingjing clapped her hands and answered earnestly.

That’s good...

"Let Mother see what books you both have memorized."

Chu Baihan took them both by the hand to the table.

She quickly saw the verses they had copied down.

"Mother, Father has prepared many verses for us, he wrote each one out, then had us learn them," said Chu Junxi hastily.

So that’s how it is...

A gentle light flickered in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

No matter how busy Yan Lin was, he would never neglect the children’s affairs.

This was the man she loved, she had not misjudged him.
