A Journey to Love: Ren Ru Yi's Teaching Methods and Unequal Treatment of Disciples
In the drama "A Journey to Love," the female protagonist Ren Ru Yi has taken two disciples. One is Li Tong Guang, the son of Princess An Guo, and the other is Yang Ying, the sister of the Emperor of Wu Guo. Why did Ren Ru Yi do this? Both disciples were personally taught by her, and Li Tong Guang spent more time with her than Yang Ying. Why did she show favoritism in this way?
There are mainly two reasons for this. First, Ren Ru Yi has her unique teaching methods. After Ren Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou established a formal relationship, she told Ning Yuan Zhou her reasons for wanting to have a child with him. The reason is that she has always regarded the Empress as her mother, so she must follow the Empress's dying wish.
If we observe her actual approach, she mainly uses setbacks as a teaching method for boys, while for girls, she adopts a combination of kindness and strictness. From Li Tong Guang's memories of his master, we can see that Ren Ru Yi always had a stern expression when dealing with Li Tong Guang, not to mention speaking softly or even smiling in front of him.
The first time she met Li Tong Guang, she even pressed his head into the water. However, what she didn't expect was that after teaching Li Tong Guang for five years, she had been using women to fulfill her own political purposes. Despite Li Tong Guang's unfavorable status due to his father, his mother being a princess and his uncle being the Emperor of An Guo provided some advantages.
However, Li Tong Guang not only lacked political allies but also didn't even have a single friend, indicating his lack of political ability. Li Tong Guang's luck turned around during the war between An Guo and Wu Guo. Due to the destruction of the intelligence network by his own people and the incompetence of the Emperor of Wu Guo, Li Tong Guang was fortunate enough to capture the Emperor of Wu Guo alive.
Due to this achievement, the Emperor of An Guo arranged for Li Tong Guang to marry Chu Yue, the daughter of the Duke of Chu Guo. While thinking of using her, Li Tong Guang didn't even bother to pretend. If Chu Yue really married Li Tong Guang, it would probably not end well.
Not only did Li Tong Guang use women for his advantage, but he also insulted them verbally and even resorted to violence against them. During a martial arts demonstration, he first threw wine at Ren Ru Yi. Therefore, it's not surprising that Ren Ru Yi treated him the way she did.
