Six hours.
Jiang Xian divided these six hours into twelve thirty-minute sessions, with two sessions of study followed by one session of rest. After all, the children were still young; they wanted to play and needed their naps. In the past, Guo Xiao Yi would have Nanny Cheng put on a stern face and supervise the Second Prince with relentless rigor. Only under such tense anxiety could he manage to stay focused for long periods.
This was also why he had developed mild anxiety and poor digestion. Even though his meals were nearly identical to the Eldest Prince's, he was a whole size smaller. His cheeks, which should have been plump with baby fat, looked thin and gaunt.
"We only studied for a bit, but we get to rest for so long. Lady Zhaoyi is so gentle."
Xie Sheng whispered to his elder brother as they napped together under a small blanket on the couch.
"Mother Consort is very kind to people. Besides, a proper rest helps you go farther."
