Chapter 1229: Chapter 1048, The Masked Man_2

Daohua did not continue to inquire but took Daozi to the Martial Arts Hall in the front courtyard.

When the mother and son arrived, the Guard Captain was assigning patrol tasks for the Prince Residence.

They did not go in either; instead, they just stood quietly outside watching.

Daozi watched attentively and only heaved a sigh of relief after the Guard Captain finished assigning tasks.

He hadn’t misjudged the person this time, had he?

The little one was somewhat smart; after watching nanny Li, he could roughly guess what his mother wanted to tell him.

This time he was deceived by his fourth aunt, and he almost caused his sister to fall into the water; his mother was teaching him how to evaluate people.

Soon, the bodyguards disbanded.

Daohua did not leave immediately but continued to watch with Daozi.

After a while, only the Guard Captain and a young bodyguard were left in the courtyard.

The Guard Captain tossed a token to the young bodyguard: "The Little Prince is going to the Academy soon, the Prince has asked me to choose someone to drive the carriage for the Little Prince, you’ll do."

The young bodyguard gleefully received the token: "Brother, thank you, I will protect the Little Prince well and won’t let you down."

Serving the master directly often had better prospects than being a guard in the residence, and if he caught the eye of the Little Prince, he could continue to follow the Little Prince in the future.

Guard Captain: "This kind of opportunity would usually not fall to us; it’s just that the Prince’s side was short of people, now I have given this unique opportunity to you, you must perform well."

The young bodyguard nodded eagerly.

Afterward, Daohua didn’t continue watching and left with Daozi.

Along the way, Daozi’s eyebrows were furrowed, and his lips were pouted.

He thought the Guard Captain was clear about rewards and punishments, fair and impartial, but to his surprise, he would also covertly arrange benefits for his own brother, using his official position for personal gain.

Daozi looked earnestly at Daohua: "Mother, I was wrong."

Daohua raised her eyebrows: "Where were you wrong?"

Daozi with a wronged face: "My vision is poor."

Daohua couldn’t help laughing, hugging her son’s shoulders and said: "You’re still young, it’s normal that you can’t see through the masks others wear."

Daozi was stunned, then tilted his head and asked, "Masks? They weren’t wearing masks."

Daohua smiled and said: "The masks mother is talking about are a metaphor, you can understand it as people’s pretense. Just like nanny Li, she wears a mask of kindness and affection in front of you."

Daozi’s eyes brightened, he understood this statement: "I see, the Guard Captain is wearing a mask of fairness and impartiality, actually, he is not fair, he wore a mask and thus deceived me." _{f .r e\ewebnov(e)(l).c om}

As he said this, he humphed and clenched his fists: "And my fourth aunt too, she also wears a mask, pretending to like me and my brothers and sisters, and deceived me badly."

"Mother, I hate people who wear masks."

Daohua was surprised at her son’s ability to generalize, smiling as she rubbed her son’s head: "Nobody likes to live life wearing masks, everyone wants to be their genuine selves."

"But in this world, one always encounters various difficulties and challenges, and to resolve these problems, people have to put on masks."

"Nanny Li wears a mask to please you because only by winning the master’s favor can she manage the servant girls better and have better days in the residence."

"The Guard Captain wears a mask for his selfish motives, aiming to help his brother."

Daozi took over the conversation: "Then my fourth aunt wears a mask to seduce father?"

Daohua: "Umm... that’s one way to put it."

Daozi angrily said: "She’s really bad, my fourth brother told me before, concubines are not good people."

Daohua did not contradict her son, smiling and continuing: "Therefore, when you look at people, you can’t just look at their appearances, nor just at the side they show."

"People are complex and ever-changing, all wearing masks, some even wear multi-layer masks, so don’t make definitive judgments about someone too hastily."

Daozi pouted: "Can’t people just not wear masks?"

Daohua thought for a moment: "That depends on yourself; like your father, powerful and high status in Xiliang, he doesn’t need to wear a mask all the time."

Daozi nodded, somewhat understanding yet still frowning with worry: "If I can’t see through other people’s masks, wouldn’t I be deceived again?"

Daohua said with a smile: "You’re not Silver, so not everyone will like you, if someone approaches you or gets close to you, ask why and then observe more, you might be able to detect something unusual."

Daozi then asked: "What if I don’t spot anything unusual?"

Daohua: "Then use your heart to feel, in any case, whether others genuinely like you or not, you must maintain absolute initiative, even if that person keeps deceiving you, you can quickly handle them."

Daozi listened, somewhat bewildered, although not fully understanding but solemnly committed it to memory.

After all, his mother would not harm him.

"By the way, Mother, nanny Li and the Guard Captain both deceived me, should I punish them?"

Hearing this, Daohua continued patiently analyzing with her son: "Tell me, why does the Prince Residence keep nanny Li?"

Daozi frowned: "To train servant girls?"

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Correct, as long as she can help mother train the servant girls well and doesn’t make big mistakes, there’s no need to be too harsh. She pleases you, just as a survival instinct when facing her superiors, this is harmless."

"As for the Guard Captain, his main duty is to ensure the security of the Prince Residence, as long as he does this, even if he has some personal motives, it’s understandable."

"His brother, your mother knows, is among the top in martial arts among the guards, choosing his own brother to be by your side had selfish motives, but he did not neglect his duty to protect you."

"Nobody is perfect; you can’t expect everyone to be the best in all aspects, being a master, you have to learn
