Chapter 971 Disciplining (1)

Chapter 971: Disciplining (1) Chapter 971: Disciplining (1) Editor: Atlas Studios “Of course I can.” Little Treasure was very confident.

“Fourth Uncle, I’m impressive.” Qi Haoran looked at him suspiciously.

“I’ve never heard of any Emperor who wants to go out all day.” Little Treasure slumped his shoulders and said sadly, “Fourth Uncle, you don’t understand.

It’s not like I want to go out all the time.

I just hope that I can go out once a year or even once every two years, even if it’s to go on a tour of inspection.” Slightly relieved, Qi Haoran waved his hand nonchalantly.

“What’s so difficult about that?

When you become the Emperor, you can go on a tour of inspection.

If you want to go south, go south.

If you want to go north, go north.

You can go wherever you want.” Little Treasure’s eyes lit up.

“I’m so stupid.

I actually didn’t think of this method.” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes at him, feeling that a child was still a child.

Fancy running away from home because of such a small matter.

“You should think about how to explain this to your Royal Father.” Little Treasure’s face turned bitter again.

Qi Haoran squatted in front of Qi Wensu and pinched his nose.

“You’re really stupid.

Why did you follow your royal brother out of the capital?

Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” The Second Prince grinned foolishly and said, “With Brother Crown Prince around, I’m not afraid.” Qi Haoran could only pat the two children’s heads helplessly and let them rest.

Because of the guards clearing the way, their speed was much faster, and they arrived in Guangzhou at noon the next day.

Qi Haoran got someone to bring Huang Ren, Huang Chan, and Merchant Tan away to rest first while he carried the two children into the residence.

Zhu Liang hurriedly came out to welcome them.

When he saw the crown prince in Prince Rong’s arms , he couldn’t help but widen his eyes and freeze on the spot.

He’d known that there might be an important guest coming to the residence, but he didn’t expect the guest to be so noble.

“Where are the Princess Consort and the young masters?” Zhu Liang deliberated and said, “Didn’t Your Highness punish the young masters by grounding them in the Fan Residence?” Qi Haoran stopped in his tracks and nodded.

“Yes, I almost forgot.

Go and tell the Princess Consort that the kids’ cousins (their second uncle’s sons) are here and ask them to come over.

At the same time, invite the Duke of Peaceful State over.” Zhu Liang looked at the Crown Prince respectfully and felt that Prince Rong was spouting too much nonsense.

‘Geez, you probably don’t even know the names of the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness’s sons, and you’re using their identities.

Would this shorten the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness’s longevity?” Qi Haoran didn’t know if this would shorten the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness’s longevity, but he knew that he had to arrange a suitable identity for the two children.

Earlier on, Little Treasure had called him Fourth Uncle in public.

In less than two days, when the people on that road arrived in Guangzhou, everyone in the city would know that he had two nephews who came to seek refuge with him.

In this world, other than the few princes and Zijin’s children, the only people who dared to call him Fourth Uncle were his two half-brothers’ children.

Hence, he had no choice but to borrow their identities.

In any case, considering his half-brother lived so far away, he might not know about it.

Just as Qi Haoran carried the two children to the inner estate and put them down, wolf-like howls came from outside.

Little Bear rushed in like a gust of wind and rushed towards Little Treasure, directly ignoring Qi Haoran.

Thrilled to see Little Bear, Little Treasure also opened his arms in response… With a dark expression, Qi Haoran reached out and picked up Little Bear, who was running over.

Little Bear struggled in the air and shouted, “Father!

Father!

Brother Little Treasure!

Brother Little Treasure…” One who didn’t know better might think the two were about to be parted by death.

Qi Haoran’s face darkened even more.

Before he could reprimand them, there was another wolf howl outside.

The three little ones followed Little Bear and rushed over.

They paused at the door and scanned the room, then automatically ignored their father and big brother and ran towards Little Treasure and Qi Wensu.

Surrounded by his cousins, Little Treasure quickly forgot about Little Bear.

The five of them hugged each other and grinned foolishly at each other with joy.

Qi Haoran couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

He could only put Little Bear down and turn to look at Ah Ling, who had walked in behind him.

He asked, “How did these boys recover so quickly?” “There was just a red patch on their butts, and after a night’s sleep, they were fine by the next morning.

How long do you think that gentle beating of yours will keep them lying down?” Blushing, Qi Haoran muttered, “I clearly used a lot of strength.” Mu Yangling chuckled and said, “Zijin is livid.

He scolded you for spoiling your children so much.

He said that when Little Treasure arrives, the five of them will be punished together.

No one will be able to escape.” The children who were listening attentively at the side were stunned.

They looked at Qi Haoran in unison with pitiful gazes.

Qi Haoran also felt that the children had gone overboard this time.

He picked up the Second Prince and said, “You kids lack discipline.

No one is allowed to stop me this time.

Tomorrow, I’ll beat them up first before letting Zijin punish them a second round.” When Zijin, who had just entered the house, heard that, he could not help but cast a cold glance at him, glaring at him until he shut his mouth.

Only after that did he turn his icy gaze towards the five children.

The five of them, who were originally jubilant, immediately tensed up and involuntarily lined up.

Fan Zijin said coldly, “Aside from the Second Prince who is young and insensible, the remaining five of you can kneel in the small ancestral hall.” Enveloped by Fan Zijin’s low pressure, the five children did not dare to look at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling.

They hurriedly lowered their heads and walked towards the small ancestral hall.

When Tiger Head and Little Lion thought that they had walked far enough to be out of earshot, they said in a low voice, “Actually, we’re very young, too.

I’m only five years old this year, just a year older than Second Cousin.

I’m also very insensible.” “Why don’t we talk to Daddy when he comes to visit us later?” “Brother Little An is very young, too, and Daddy has always doted on Brother Little An.

Perhaps he can be spared from punishment.” The two children’s voices overlapped.

“Big Brother and Brother Little Treasure are so pitiful.” When Fan Zijin heard the voices, he glared at Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran endured his anger and said in a low voice, “We can punish the four of them since they’re strong and healthy.

But Little Treasure has been traveling for more than ten days.

I’m afraid he’s exhausted…” “Since he didn’t collapse from exhaustion from the journey, what’s so tiring about kneeling?” Fan Zijin said with a cold expression.

“Qi Haoran, you’re not allowed to pamper the children this time.

If you don’t discipline them, they’ll become even more lawless.

This time, they dared to leave the palace.

Next time, will they dare to leave the country?

Where will we find them then?” Seeing that Mu Yangling wanted to speak, he glared at her again.

“Shut up too.

Haoran is insensible, but you too were unaware?

If they’re already so bold at such a young age, what will happen when they grow up?

We should be ruthless this time.

If we instill fear in them, they will only go overboard in the future.

They can hide under the excuse that they’re children for now, but what about a few years later?

If such a thing happens again, what reason will they use?

Will the courtiers still accept their reason?” The couple lowered their heads in unison, not daring to speak.

When Madam Xia, who was standing outside the door, saw her husband displaying his might, she was a little stunned for a moment.

She had always known that Prince Rong and Ah Ling seemed to be a little afraid of her husband.

However, ever since she married over, be it family matters or external matters, her husband had always done things according to the wishes of Prince Rong and Princess Consort Rong.

This was the first time she had seen her husband lecture the two of them until they could not raise their heads.

Fan Zijin turned around and went out.

When he saw her, he stopped in his tracks and said, “Why are you here too?

The residence has been a little chaotic for the past two days.

We have to make some adjustments among the servants.

Go back and take good care of Little Fu.

Don’t let him be frightened.” Seeing the drooping heads of Prince Rong and Ah Ling behind her, Little Madam Xia nodded repeatedly.

“Then I’ll go back now.

If you have further instructions, just send a servant girl to look for me.” Fan Zijin nodded.

This time, Fan Zijin really punished the kids ruthlessly and made them kneel until dinner time before letting them get up.

However, the matter was not over.

The next morning, the children were pulled out of bed one by one.

After merely wiping their faces, they continued to kneel in the small ancestral hall.
