Under Xue Yao's encouraging gaze ......
After a brief moment of surprise, the Seventh Prince continued to lower his head and fiddle with his own little toys, not giving face at all.
"Your Highness?" Xue Yao said sharply, "Just tell me one, okay?"
The Seventh Prince didn't raise his head and only replied faintly, "Sixth brother tells stories."
"Our Seventh Prince His Highness can also tell stories, right?" Xue Yao patiently encouraged.
"Nope." The Seventh Prince bounced the toy bunny on the desk.
"How is it wrong?" Xue Yao encouraged, "You have a good memory and must be a good storyteller."
The Seventh Prince cast a sideways glance and suddenly smiled wickedly, saying to Xue Yao, "You asked for it."
"Huh?" Xue Yao couldn't keep up with this little guy's thinking.
The seventh prince raised his little head, wilting and wilting, and recited, "The ancient warrior Quafu, stout in stature and great in strength ......"
Xue Yao froze and whispered, "This is the story that Sixth Prince just told ah? Your Highness tells your favorite stories, okay?"
The first step in treating children with emotional communication disorders is to give them a deeper understanding of the concept of "self-preference" so that they can freely express their needs.
However, the Seventh Prince leaned toward the back of his chair and spoke indifferently, "Your Highness does not like to tell stories."
"I don't believe it." Xue Yao refused to admit defeat and decided to risk his life to use a provocative tactic on the Long Ao Tian cub, narrowing his eyes provocatively, "Hasn't Your Highness ever heard any other stories, and that's why you're telling the interesting stories that the Sixth Prince has told!"
The Seventh Prince "snorted" happily, and actually asked him in return, "Is it interesting?"
Xue Yao: "......"
You're a three year old kid don't make taunts ah hello!
Stories like the one about the father chasing the sun are supposed to be something you kids should like!
Where it's boring!
Also, can you wait until you're an adult to reveal your king's strength!
What's with the sudden tugging? He's still a little chubby!
Long Ao Tian novel only legs long one meter eight handsome than can have this aura know!
Xue Yao took a deep breath and calmed down.
There was no one who knew the male lead's character better than him, a professional Ning Wang fan.
Agitation is definitely the right way to lead, because this grudge-holding emperor, his greatest hobby is to hit his face.
"I think His Highness the Sixth Prince's story is very interesting." Xue Yao continued his plan, provoking, "Your Highness must not be able to tell a more interesting story than Quafu chasing the sun, right?"
The Seventh Prince's small hand fiddling with the rabbit stopped, and with a turn of his head, he looked solemnly at Xue Yao and spoke, "Yao Yao."
Xue Yao froze, listening to the little guy call his name for the first time, still a little uncomfortable, slightly red-faced responded, "Eh?"
"You wait." The Seventh Prince spoke triumphantly.
Xue Yao thought that the Seventh Prince was going to immediately open up a can of worms and tell a story on the spot like "Jing Wei Fill the Sea" to hit him in the face.
However, until the end of the school day, they didn't wait for the Seventh Prince to open up and tell a story.
It seems that the Seventh Prince is going back to the palace to prepare before opening the big one!
*
After Xue Yao returned to the mansion, her personal maid came in and said, "The old lady rewarded you with an iced sugar snow swallow and lotus seed soup to cool down the summer heat, and the food box was stopped by the wife in the hall room, so come out and have a taste, and wait for Qiong Ge'er to come back, then there will be no portion of it."
Xue Yao is hot at this moment, Xue House is not like the palace can use the ice janitor to cool down, only the old lady's room to reduce the heat of the sugar soup will be cooled in the ice.
When he ran to the hall, the food box had already been opened, and Qiong was holding a bowl and gurgling lotus seed soup into his stomach.
Chen fanned Xue Qiong from the side.
Xue Yao's face sank for a moment, then returned to normal.
This kind of thing, he was already accustomed to it, the old lady told him to go to the main courtyard to open a small stove, he could still have his fill, but if he specifically sent the food rewarded to him by the third house, it would surely be pressed down by Chen and given to her son to eat.
Xue Yao was now working for the Seventh Prince as a companion reader, completely unable to shake Xue Qiong's position, so he didn't want to argue over this kind of thing, which was thankless.
But this time, it was probably the fire of the summer heat that made him not evade, walking up with a smile on his face, sitting down next to Xue Qiong, and ordering the maid, "But it's hot to death, it's fortunate that the old madam is thinking of me, quick, serve me a bowl of iced sugar soup."
Of course he knew that the icing sugar soup was already all in Xue Qiong's bowl, and he said that just to shame them mother and son.
The old lady specifically rewarded him something, stealing food even if, but also a mouthful does not leave him, really overbearing addiction.
"Yo, Yao Ge'er is also back?" Chen's color as usual warmly said, "Mother thought you did not come back, hot days, this cold soup can not consume, so hurry up and let your brother solve it, so as not to spoil the old lady's intentions."
"Came back early in the morning." Xue Yao laughed, "In the future, let the maid send it directly to my room, it's really easy for bad things to happen when it's set aside in the hall."
Xue Qiong put down her bowl at the sound of this and gasped, "By what right is it sent directly to your room! You kid want to keep it all to yourself?"
"How come?" Xue Yao cheerfully said, "Which time wasn't it all swallowed by my brother? The old lady specifically asked me to taste it, so I can't always taste it, and when they ask how it tastes, I can only ask the old lady to ask my brother."
Xue Qiong was abashed at the sound of it and hurriedly said, "If you tell the old lady that it's delicious, it's over!"
"Oh--" said Xue Yao, "I see, when the old lady asks, I'll say that big brother said it was delicious."
"How dare you!" Chen heard that he was trying to complain to the old madam and immediately glared and rebuked, "You sinner, you don't know how to fight for it in the palace, you're used to being a bully! You came late and Qiong'er took a sip, and you hold a grudge? Do you still not know the etiquette of the order of the young and the old!"
Xue Yao hastily nodded his head and "admitted his mistake", saying, "Your Highness is right, in the future, my son will definitely remind the old lady to pay attention to etiquette, and reward my elder brother first before rewarding me."
It's a joke, if the old lady rewarded him and his brother, the order of seniority would be just a matter of time, but the special reward for Xue Yao was snatched by Xue Qiong, and he still has the face to say that the order of seniority is the order of seniority!
Chen's mouth was crooked with anger, and she stood up with a slap on the table, but she couldn't say anything to retort.
Xue Yao directed her accusations to the old madam, and she really didn't dare to speak out of turn, so she could only say angrily towards the maid, "Call Aunt Zhou here! I'd like to ask her how she taught such a sinner!"
Aunt Zhou came and heard about it, looked down at the empty bowl in front of Xue Qiong, a hint of resentment flashed across her face, and turned her head to Xue Yao and said, "The old lady's intentions cannot be disappointed, Yao'er must come out to receive the reward next time he gets it, if he misses out on the reward again in such a slow manner, the old lady will not let you off the hook."
Chen's face turned blue with anger when she heard this, "Good ...... good you bitchy servant girl! Relying on the old lady's favoritism, riding on me and Qiongge'er's head is it! You wait for me!"
Wait until the Third Master returns to the house in the evening.
Chen cried like a tearful person.
"When Yao'er came back late, I was afraid of spoiling the ice soup that cooled down the summer heat, so I let Qiong'er drink it while it was still cold. It was because I was in a hurry and wasn't careful enough to give it to Yao'er. When Yao'er came back, he lost his temper at me and wanted to complain to the old madam, which scared me so much that I asked Auntie Zhou to come and persuade him, but I didn't expect that Auntie Zhou would add fuel to the fire in front of Yao'er!"
By Chen's so upside down, the master was so angry that he called for Xue Yao to be lectured on the spot, and also had the door of the third room sealed, so that Yao's son would not go to the main courtyard to move the old lady as a rescuer.
Halfway through Xue Yao being called, Aunt Zhou heard the news and, fearing that her son would be beaten, hurriedly followed along to the hall.
As soon as Master Xue saw Aunt Zhou's aggrieved and delicate demeanor, his heart softened three times, and he admonished in a low voice, "I'm calling out to Yao Ge'er for questioning, what are you doing here?"
The master still favors Aunt Zhou, so Chen didn't dare to spoil Aunt Zhou too much to her face, and only peacefully asked Aunt Zhou to recuse herself.
Auntie Zhou, this time, but hard bones did not go, sad eyes staring directly at Master Xue, softly said: "I know why you want to take Yao's son, the old lady often rewarded food to him, were stopped in the hall, Yao's son so far has not tasted a reward, were Qiong's son on behalf of the collection. This day, the remote brother child jokingly self-deprecating two sentences, Qiong brother child thought he held a grudge, are brothers, occasionally some quarrels are also there, change tomorrow's brother and sister or to be good, hope that the old master do not for this difficult for his brother and sister."
When the master heard this, he squinted suspiciously at Chen, suspecting that she had reversed black and white and was deliberately stirring up trouble.
Although Xue Yao had no use for her now, she had the old lady's favor in the end.
Master Xue is still counting on the old master to get through to him and transfer him, so naturally he won't deliberately make things difficult for Yao Ge'er.
Chen smiled coldly at Aunt Zhou and said, "I've always treated you as a sister, now that Qiong's son has eaten his bowl of soup, you're pouring dirty water on us, I've heard that the women of Gusu City are soft on the surface and poisonous on the inside, but I've finally seen it today! But don't think too well, no matter how you slander me in front of the master, even if you force me to die, the master won't raise you the daughter of a sinner to renew her marriage!"
Master Xue frowned to appease his wife, "What nonsense? You go back to the house and rest first, I'll take care of things, husband and wife for many years, I will let a cheap concubine insult you?"
He actually said this to sidetrack his wife, lest his wife and concubines not get along.
Aunt Zhou's face instantly white, tears flashed in her eyes, gazing at Xue Cheng in despair, her voice choked in a low voice: "Your lordship is right, the concubine is lowly, since my father was convicted, all the brothers in the family have been sent to the land of smoke and miasma, and the family has been plagiarized, but if I stayed in Suzhou, I wouldn't have to be a concubine for someone ...... "
A tear slipped down from her face, "When your lordship was ordered to copy the family, he met me for the first time and kindly comforted me, saying that my father was your sitting master for the examination, and that he had the grace of promoting you. You can not bear to see me alone and lonely, condescending to invite me to the capital again and again ......."
Master Xue blushed slightly and opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss as to how to stop her from speaking.
"Father has always loved me, and I trusted the people he rewarded." Aunt Zhou's pair of tearful eyes steeply became ferocious and resolute, and she even disregarded etiquette and loudly snapped, "If father knew that you treated me this way, how much he would regret having promoted you in the first place!"
His lordship's face turned red and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground!
Zhou Rui is the daughter of Zhou Chong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Appointments and Second Minister of the Cabinet.
Years ago, Zhou Chong was impeached by the Jiao Party for his proposal to build a river and was convicted and sentenced.
Xue Cheng followed the royal historian to Zhou Chong's old home in Suzhou to copy his family, and met Zhou Rui, who was only fifteen years old and looked like a heavenly fairy.
In a moment of confusion, Xue Cheng tried every possible means to trick Zhou Rui to the capital, and kept her in his own house, pleasing her in every way.
Zhou Rui is uneducated and simple in character, but being penniless and unable to repay her, she commits herself to Xue Cheng with tears in her eyes when he begs for sex, and later gives birth to Xue Yao.
Xue Yao heard the general idea from the argument between a few people.
I didn't realize that his own mother was actually Zhou Chong's daughter!
According to the plot of the novel, in another two or three years, the head of the cabinet would have vindicated Zhou Chong.
As soon as Xue Yao thought about it, he would also have a grandfather in the future who was a Cabinet Undersecretary and Minister of the Ministry of Appointments.
The author has something to say:
The seventh prince's name is Lu Qian, often readers say that they can not remember the name hahaha, temporarily to "little fat" on behalf of the name (fat seven: No, the master does not agree)
