Watching the rebel pup pour a bowl of honey into his empty mouth, Xue Yao instantly became furious: "Your Highness! You can't ......"
"Can't what?" The Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "Who are you?"
Xue Yao: "......"
"Ah--" The Seventh Prince pretended to be suddenly aware, "So it's you, the Seventh Prince's companion who went to live in his uncle's house for half of his life?"
Xue Yao: "......"
It's only been four months!
Why did he have to be reminded of his status as the Seventh Prince's companion?
Mind Rebel Pup!
"Long time no see." The Seventh Prince was covered in black aura, but pretended to introduce himself to Xue Yao with narrowed eyes, "Master, Seventh Prince Lu Qian, remember?"
Xue Yao had fully felt the little fat cub's anger.
This little guy's taunting skill level is directly proportional to his mood.
This time it's really angry!
"I promise I will never visit uncle again." Xue Yao, knowing that it would not be a good idea to fight with Long Ao Tian at this time, admitted her mistake in a second: "I brought new flavored milk from outside, I'll feed Your Highness three pots later, okay?"
"Ayao! You're finally back!" The Sixth Prince and the Fifth Prince stood in the distance, waving frantically at Xue Yao, as if a refugee on a lonely island had seen a rescue team.
Xue Yao: "......"
Can't you stand over here a little bit?
His fat kid wasn't as dirty as he thought he was!
"Just returned to the capital very tired, right? Hurry up and accompany Seventh Brother to the bath to relieve his fatigue!" The Fifth Prince politely signaled for survival.
Xue Yao apprehensively met the Seventh Prince's cool gaze and smiled as she offered, "Also, I haven't accompanied Your Highness to a hot spring in a long time ......"
"Want Your Highness to take a bath?" The Seventh Prince inquired with a crooked head.
Xue Yao laughed, "I want to!"
The rebel pup hooked his lips in one, "No washing, Master."
Xue Yao: "!!!"
His cub has really learned the hard way!
The little guy knew that not bathing would devastate him and his brothers and even his mother's consort, so he deliberately disobeyed!
Xue Yao took a deep breath and persuaded himself to calm down.
I've read a lot of books on children's education over the years, and this kind of rebellious behavior is usually due to the fact that children are neglected by their parents, so they intentionally play tricks to get attention.
Be patient.
A chubby baby is a baby that needs direct love and attention to stay secure.
Being hurt or shocked can cause the pup's soul to detach itself from the fat body again and numbly observe everything from the periphery, leading to adverse reactions such as extreme emotional indifference.
The little chubby cub that Xue Yao had covered for ten years before warming up must not be blackened!
Of course, now that the little chubby cub's wings were half hardened, Xue Yao was afraid that he wouldn't be able to force it, and theoretically and practically he couldn't force the Seventh Prince to take a bath.
Only coaxing!

"The eunuchs and inner supervisors have all returned?" Concubine Hui looked coldly at the little eunuch who had returned from prying.
The eunuch bowed and replied, "The slave girl went to the post room and asked, out of the capital of the people are all back to the palace should be dawning."
Princess Hui was silent for a moment and waved her hand for him to retreat.
She and a personal palace maid were the only ones left in the quiet inner sanctum.
Hui Fei suddenly disdainful snort: "Early guessed that he will not come back, but also said that the Palace model has not changed at all, coaxing the little girl that set also want to fool the Palace."
She looked out the window at the dry branches and muttered, "It's all bullshit."
*
in two days
The Crown Prince reported the matter of controlling the plague in Ping Rong County to the Emperor, and Xue Yao and the imperial physicians and attendants involved in controlling the plague were all called to the Yangxin Hall to discuss their merits and rewards.
Xue Yao is naturally the top credit, the emperor is much more generous than the empress, in addition to silver, but also rewarded hundreds of cloud brocade.
After Xue Yao thanked the emperor for his kindness, it was the eunuch's turn to hear the reward, and the eunuchs who accompanied him afterward also had a share.
Strangely enough, Zhang Si wasn't there.
Xue Yao took advantage of the emperor's inattention to look left and right for Zhang Si, but inadvertently met the Prince's icy sight.
With a jolt, Xue Yao met the Crown Prince with a questioning gaze with a puzzled expression.
Across a pile of eunuchs kneeling to receive their reward, the two men looked at each other wordlessly.
The Prince shook his head expressionlessly, as if imploring him not to look around.
Xue Yao lowered his head from the goodness of his heart and had a very bad feeling in his heart.
On that day, Zhang Si knocked out quite a few patients, because he was in a hurry to close the fence gate, Xue Yao didn't even notice if Zhang Si had revealed his kung fu base in front of the Prince, now that he thinks about it, he probably revealed it.
Zhang Si wouldn't have been privately disposed of by the Crown Prince, would he?
Thinking of this, Xue Yao clenched his fists, secretly hating himself for completely letting his guard down once he passed the plague difficulty.
In retrospect, Zhang Si had been silent when he got off the boat, and the few times Xue Yao had struck up a conversation, he had looked away, as if he was worried about someone.
Now that he thought about it, at that time, the Crown Prince had always stood by his side, and had probably already gotten through to Zhang Si.
Xue Yao's heart thumped.
It was hard to endure until he knelt to the emperor, so he immediately ran to Zhongzi Palace to find Zhang Si.
"Zhang Si didn't come back."
This was the answer given to him by the eunuchs of the Zhongzi Palace.
Xue Yao was lost in thought as he walked through the palace alleys.
His mind drifted back to the night he was assassinated by the peasants, when Zhang Si blew a firebrand to dispel the darkness that filled the room and save his life.
Xue Yao paused in his steps, his bemused expression becoming firm as he turned around and headed towards the Crown Prince's Palace.
"He used to be wanted by the government, no matter how good his hands are, he can't take the martial arts exams, and he's only in the palace to make a living." Xue Yao explained Zhang Si's background sincerely to the Crown Prince in his study.
"He's not in the Lone Palace." The Crown Prince did not relent, turning indifferently to stare at Xue Yao, "Nor is he in the palace, but he is safe, you can rest assured."
Xue Yao sighed in relief and asked earnestly, "Your Highness is trying to find out about him? His hometown was struck by a plague when he was young, and only he and his mother ......"
"All of this Lone knows." The Crown Prince looked at him expressionlessly, "Xue Yao, you're too kind-hearted, you need to draw a circle for yourself and limit the hands that reach outward to avoid getting into trouble."
Xue Yao froze.
I don't know whether the Prince's words were a kind reminder or a threat.
"From now on, forget about this person, Zhang Si, and pretend he never existed." The Crown Prince said, "He may not have to make a living in the palace with this skill."
Xue Yao nodded sagely.
Since the Crown Prince had guaranteed to keep Zhang Si alive, Xue Yao really shouldn't have asked any more questions and could only obediently leave.
But ......
"Your Highness!" Xue Yao finally managed to raise his head insensitively, "If it weren't for protecting me, he would be doing just fine in the palace, all because of this plague ......"
The Crown Prince raised his hand and interrupted him, "You and the fifth brother they transferred Zhang Si from the Lone Temple to the side of Princess Hui, I have been checking him, if not for the fact that he has done a good job of protecting you this time, at this point he would have already been dead."
"Your Highness, he didn't enter the palace with any nefarious intentions, he just wanted to take care of the former owner of the General's residence!"
The Prince let out a low chuckle, "How do you know he's not trying?"
Xue Yao said anxiously, "He is not a sinister person, I can ......"
The Prince interrupted, "But he's a fake eunuch."
Xue Yao sniffed as if he had swallowed a solid cold dumpling and choked on his words!
"A fake eunuch with extraordinary skill who risked his life to mingle with Consort Hui would have no intentions?" The Crown Prince held his fire and aggravated his tone, "That is Father's consort."
Xue Yao now completely understood and immediately excused himself and left the Crown Prince's Palace.
Zhang Si is actually a fake eunuch.
It is really fortunate that this time Ping Rong County has given Zhang Si the opportunity to make a merit, otherwise the Prince secretly ascertained the situation, Zhang Si will definitely be killed.
Although the Prince was magnanimous and unconventional, he was in the end deeply influenced by the Three Principles, and could not possibly tolerate his father's consort to cause any scandal.
I'm afraid it's no longer possible to make Zhang Si return to Princess Hui.
Transferring the emperor's "cuckold" to Princess Hui's palace was accomplished through the planning of his younger brothers and Xue Yao together.
No wonder the crown prince mentioned this hold fire, Xue Yao is directly help Zhang four through the relationship to transfer the errand people, the crown prince did not look for him to settle accounts on the very face, he actually still justified to the crown prince hall to ask for people, simply "bullying and arrogance" ......
*
Became the crown prince in front of the red man, but by the seventh prince "into the cold palace".
This time, the little chubby boy was so angry that he not only refused to take a bath, but also refused to drink the milk that Xue Yao personally fed him.
In order to show his determination to never "travel" again, Xue Yao simply stayed in the Qingdao Palace.
I'm not even going out of the palace! Much less out of the capital!
That evening during the meal, Princess Shih took one look at her son, who was so dirty that he couldn't even eat the food, and put her chopsticks down, asking Xue Yao in confusion, "What kind of soul-stirring soup did you give him? He came back a few days later and he was tossed around like this!"
Xue Yao smiled bitterly and explained, "His Majesty is busy with his court duties, and Your Highness does not have the company of other older men by his side ......"
Concubine Shio froze, thought for a moment, and asked Xue Yao in a surprised whisper, "You're saying that Old Seven lacks a father's love?"
Xue Yao was just about to reply, when he heard the sound of a "crunch", and looked sideways to see that the Seventh Prince had pinched off his chopsticks, and slowly raised his eyes to him with a murderous expression, questioning with his eyes: fatherly love?
"Oh! Of course not!" Xue Yao hurriedly put aside her old father's fantasies and explained in a condescending manner, "How dare I claim myself in that position, I am merely His Highness's playmate."
Shiofei, however, had already understood something from his attitude and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I've heard that most children who lack communication with their fathers are not good with words.
No wonder, Princess Shio always felt that she had loved her son with all her heart and soul, yet she still couldn't teach him to be as good as the Crown Prince.
In the end, it was still the Emperor's fault that every time he came to the Green Vault Palace, he only focused on being intimate with her and neglected his son.
The son must be so lost.
Concubine Shih painfully looked at her dirty son and turned her head to instruct Xue Yao, "I'll trouble you to put in more effort to accompany him with all your heart on behalf of the Emperor."
Xue Yao's old father's status, for the first time to get the Shi Fei's recognition, a burst of joy, just wanted to agree, then felt the heavy killing gas beside him ......
Turning his head to see the questioning gaze of the Seventh Prince, Xue Yao could only lower his head and say, "I wouldn't dare".
After eating, the Seventh Prince went to the courtyard to practice his sword again.
This little chubby cub tried to find ways to sweat more and insisted on not taking a bath, making Xue Yao regret it in this way.
Xue Yao was at his wits' end in the face of the rebel pups.
Take the little windmill you brought from home and get close to the chubby cub.
"Your Highness loved this little windmill the most when you were a child, but unfortunately it broke later." Xue Yao followed the little chubby cub who came and went with the sword dance all over the yard, sent the little windmill to him, and said triumphantly, "I asked the craftsmen from the Inner Government Supervisor to fix it for me yesterday, so try blowing on it, Your Highness!"
The rebellious Seventh Prince was unmoved, and with a spin, his sword pointed west-
Xue Yao couldn't dodge in time, and the windmill in his hand didn't hold on to it, flying around and floating down to the ground, and just happened to land at the feet of the Seventh Prince.
Xue Yao didn't bend down to pick it up, waiting expectantly for the chubby cub to pick up the little windmill in passing, but saw the rebellious cub continue to dance with his sword as if he were oblivious.
The little windmill, blown away by the dust raised by His Highness's legs and feet, like a forgotten childhood playmate.
For some reason, this scene made Xue Yao suddenly feel lost, staring down at the small windmill in disbelief, she actually reddened her eyes.
The Seventh Prince's afterglow noticed that the young companion did not look right, immediately stopping his sword dance and staring at Xue Yao suspiciously.
Xue Yao whispered, "Your Highness has grown up and doesn't need a small windmill anymore."
The Seventh Prince frowned, not understanding why Silly Yao Yao suddenly lost her temper.
The desperate little companion was gone for four months at a time, with one letter of only ten lines.
He had the nerve to throw a tantrum.
The seventh prince went to the letter Gusu a total of forty-seven, stone sinking into the sea without news, three times over the wall out of the palace was caught back, scolded and grounded cumulative one and a half months.
He had the nerve to throw a tantrum.
The Seventh Prince was full of resentment about to turn into anger, but looking at the tearful little companion, he began to leak again, and finally spinelessly put away his sword into the sheath, kneeled down on one knee, and reached out to pick up the little windmill.
Seeing that the small windmill was stained with a lot of ash, the Seventh Prince subconsciously puffed up his cheeks and blew, and the windmill immediately spun.
A figure loomed overhead.
The seventh prince who was blowing dust from the windmill raised his head and saw Silly Yao Yao with a kind smile ......
Xue Yao was moved.
The little chubby boy is playing with the little windmill again!
The old father reached out with satisfaction and pinched the cub's chubby little face ......
Princess Shio, who happened to be passing by, was stunned by the scene!
Sure enough ...... is a picture of a father's kindness and filial piety ah!
"It's still you who understands children." Consort Shi spoke to Xue Yao with great emotion, "Teach him well."
Xue Yao nodded solemnly.
The seventh prince who grabbed the small windmill was full of dismay ......
No! It's not like that!
