Chapter 952 Consultation

Chapter 952: Consultation Chapter 952: Consultation Editor: Atlas Studios In the end, Concubine Zhao didn’t repent.

Although she toned it down and no longer forbade her son from playing with the Crown Prince, she kept restricting his range of activity.

Almost as soon as the child woke up, she brought him to her side to read and practice calligraphy.

Furthermore, he was only allowed to play in her palace every day.

Soon, the Second Prince couldn’t take it anymore.

Having lived with the Crown Prince for three months, his schedule had long stabilized.

Every day, after the Crown Prince woke up, he would drink a bowl of warm water, wash up, and practice meditative martial arts or do some exercises to strengthen his health.

It didn’t take long, less than half an hour.

After that, he would change his clothes and eat breakfast.

Then, he would go for morning reading and attend classes.

He still had a year to go before he started schooling, so he naturally wouldn’t go to school with the Crown Prince.

Usually, at this time, he would go to the Empress’ Palace.

The palace maids there would bring Third Brother and Fourth Brother over and take out the Crown Prince’s old toys.

They would learn the words and drawings on cards, or play with building blocks.

Although he was only four years old, he already knew many words.

Sometimes, after the Empress finished dealing with the palace affairs, she would read them some short stories.

The palace maids said that these were storybooks that Fourth Aunt had gotten someone to write for the children.

The group of children played happily until noon.

After lunch, they took a lunch break.

In the afternoon, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

If they liked, they could go to the imperial garden to play.

If not, they could hang out with their mother.

Since his mother was grounded and he didn’t like to see her cry, the Second Prince went to look for Brother Crown Prince.

Brother Crown Prince took him with him.

When the Crown Prince attended classes, he would lie on the table and practice calligraphy.

After school in the afternoon, the Crown Prince would bring him to fetch Third Brother and Fourth Brother out to play in the imperial garden.

At night, they would eat and sleep together.

The day passed just like that.

However, after his mother brought him back, the Second Prince was immediately pulled out of this leisurely life.

Every day, when he opened his eyes, he would be carried to his mother’s side.

When Brother Crown Prince came to pick him up, his mother would use various reasons to decline.

Then, she would force him to memorize books and practice calligraphy.

After two days, the four-year-old Second Prince could no longer take it anymore.

When the Crown Prince came to pick him up again, he grabbed the Crown Prince’s hand and cried until he was out of breath.

No matter what, he would not let him leave.

Livid, Concubine Zhao ordered a palace maid to drag the child away.

Seeing the palace maid grab his second brother’s small arm and pull him back, Little Treasure furiously went forward to kick her in the stomach.

The palace maid did retreat two steps, but still, she refused to let go.

Angrier now, Little Treasure pointed at her nose and said angrily, “If you don’t let go, when my cousin comes back, I’ll ask him to kick you!” After saying that, he went to pull away her hand.

Just as the palace maid was about to let go, Concubine Zhao screamed from the side, “Your Highness, be gentler.

You’re hurting the Second Prince.” However, she stared at the palace maid sinisterly.

The pale-faced palace maid wanted to let go, but she didn’t dare to.

Seeing her hesitation, the Second Prince bit her hand.

As a child, he didn’t know how to control his strength and bit with almost all his might, causing the palace maid to let out a miserable cry.

Little Treasure quickly hugged his second brother and comforted him.

“Let go of her quickly.

If Royal Father finds out, you’ll be beaten up.” The Second Prince immediately let go.

Little Treasure pulled his brother behind him and threatened her, “If you dare to tell my Royal Father, I’ll beat you up!” After saying that, he held his second brother’s hand and ran out.

Concubine Zhao got someone to stop him, but the Crown Prince’s servants, who had been watching from the sidelines, rushed forward to stop them.

With the Second Prince’s hand in his, the Crown Prince quickly ran far away.

The Second Prince was very sad.

“Brother Crown Prince, I don’t want to go back.

Mother always asks me to read and write.

I can’t even play for a while.

On the other hand, you clearly have spare time.” “Your mother is an idiot.

One needs a balance between work and rest to be efficient at studying.

How much can you memorize by sitting and studying all day?” “I can’t even remember a single sentence.

Even if I remember it now, I’ll forget it later.” The Second Prince looked at the Crown Prince in admiration.

“How do you know that I can’t memorize it?” Little Treasure said proudly, “Of course I know.

Little Bear is just like you.” “Can Cousin Little Bear memorize it now?” Little Treasure nodded.

“He said that he can, but I think there are definitely more things that he can’t than those he can.

However, after he changed his learning method and time, he can at least memorize more now.

When Royal Father is free later, I’ll bring you to him and ask him to tell Concubine Zhao not to force you to memorize books.” The Second Prince looked at Little Treasure gratefully.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiuyuan had long received the news.

When the two children arrived, he rubbed the Second Prince’s head and asked, “You’re already four years old.

You’re supposed to start learning after you turn five next year.

Since you can already recognize so many words and your mother’s health isn’t good, are you willing to start learning a year in advance?” The Second Prince asked in a dilemma, “Can I still play when I go to school?” Qi Xiuyuan smiled and nodded.

“You can play during your spare time.” Little Treasure leaned close to his ear and told him how much play time he had in a day.

The Second Prince hesitated for a long time before asking weakly, “Can’t I move to Royal Mother’s place first?” If he stayed with the Empress, he would not have to go to school or memorize books or practice calligraphy.

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head slightly at his son, who clearly hated studying.

“No.” The Second Prince lowered his head and said, “Alright, I’ll go to school.” At night, the two brothers slept alongside each other again.

When the Second Prince saw that his big brother had written a letter to Little Bear, he went up to him and said, “Brother Crown Prince, why do you think my mother doesn’t like me?” Little Treasure shook his head.

“Then help me ask Fourth Aunt.

Didn’t you say that Fourth Aunt is very smart?” Little Treasure passed the pen to him.

“Since you can write, you can write to her herself.

If there are any characters that you don’t know how to write, just ask me.

I’ll help you write it.” The Second Prince excitedly wrote a letter to Mu Yangling.

This was the first letter he had ever written in his life.

When Mu Yangling received the Second Prince’s letter, she was conflicted for a long time.

She asked Little Bear, “Why did the Second Prince write to me?” Shouldn’t he ask his Royal Father and Mother such a question?

Little Bear’s eyes were filled with sympathy.

“Brother Little Treasure said that Second Cousin is very pitiful now, and his mother is grounded.

The moment she sees him, it’s as if she wants to devour him.

She either wants him to stay away from Brother Little Treasure or force him to intercede on her behalf with Royal Uncle.

Mother, do you think Second Cousin isn’t Concubine Zhao’s biological child?

Perhaps his mother picked him up from a tree?” Embarrassed, Mu Yangling couldn’t help but glare at Qi Haoran.

He was the one who made this up.

Once, when Tiger Head asked them how they got into their mother’s stomach, Qi Haoran scared them and said that he was the one who picked the three brothers up from a tree… Little Bear and the others remembered these words.

From then on, they felt that anyone who wasn’t a biological child was picked up from a tree.

Mu Yangling held her forehead and said, “The trees in the palace don’t produce children.” “Does that mean he was picked up from a tree outside the palace?” Little Bear tilted his head and asked with a glint in his eyes, “Mother, which tree was Second Cousin picked up from?

I’ll go take a look.

Perhaps I can pick up a child too…” “Get out.

Do you think you can pick up a child so easily?” Qi Haoran almost kicked his son out.

Mu Yangling watched as Qi Haoran kicked Little Bear out before carefully pondering over this letter.

After chasing his son out, Qi Haoran closed the door.

When he saw her reading the letter in a daze, he said angrily, “Concubine Zhao is a sh*t stirrer.

Little Treasure is the eldest son of the first wife and is smart and capable.

How old is the Second Prince now, and she’s already thinking of fighting for power?” “But she’s lucky.

She’s the Second Prince’s biological mother.

As long as she has this identity, she can live.” Mu Yangling gently placed the letter on the table and sighed.

“A child is like a blank piece of paper.

Whatever color the adults paint on it, it affects the sort of person the child will grow up to become.

The Second Prince is innocent, and so is Little Treasure.”
