The Board of Directors

When the Emperor arrived, the Eldest Prince told him what he had mentioned to Xie Ning again. However, he skipped some details that he felt might not be appropriate. The Emperor listened with great interest and asked, "Are you still happy today?"

The Eldest Prince replied seriously, "I am especially happy."

"Then next time, we'll arrange for you to go out and play again."

The Eldest Prince replied sheepishly.

He had been studying and knew the principle that "diligence leads to success while idleness to failure." While he had enjoyed a day out today, others in the study had diligently studied all day. So, he had spent one less day on his studies, and he would fall behind in many areas.

The Emperor noticed his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Eldest Prince replied softly, "I’m afraid of lagging behind in my studies."
