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."
