The Crown Prince hesitated briefly, then said to Xue Yao, "There is no reason for the punishment to be received on their behalf, you are not too arrogant in your day to day life, so today you will also receive the five commandment whip, and reflect on yourself."
Xue Yao was ashamed to say yes.
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors looked at their Seventh Brother in horror at once!
The Seventh Prince looked incredulously sideways at his own unbeatable little companion.
It was well known that the Seventh Prince would not allow his breastfeeding companion to be beaten.
The cause was five years ago.
At that time, Xue Yao also participated in martial arts training like all the other royal companions.
During a wrestling practice, the eight-year-old Seventh Prince uses a newly learned move to knock the thirteen-year-old young companion to the ground.
The young companion sprained his right arm.
In fact, it was not injured by the Seventh Prince, but when he fell to the ground, he was sprained accidentally by holding up the ground.
When he was carried to the Imperial Hospital, Xue Yao's tears and snot were smeared all over his face.
After three days in a row did not enter the palace, recuperate from the injury, the little companion read the arm for a long time can not move, breastfeeding with the left hand.
Such a "weak and fragile" physique, to the seventh prince left an indelible shadow, and from then on never allowed the young companion to participate in the fighting practice.
There was an uninformed chaperone who had once greeted Xue Yao in the schoolyard to train for an over-the-shoulder fall, and was unfortunately seen by the Seventh Prince.
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors still remembered the horrific scene back then.
That companion had just wrestled Xue Yao to the ground, when he was patted on the back by the solid little hand of the solid seventh prince.
"Have a duel between the men." This was how the eight-year-old Seventh Prince provoked that chaperone back then.
Because he knew that the Seventh Prince would often borrow odd phrases from books to communicate with people, that chaperone didn't even feel the danger of this invitation to a duel and thought that the Seventh Prince was just looking for a random person to practice against.
So, surrounded by the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and all the chaperones--
That chaperone, was thrown ...... into unconsciousness like a sandbag by the frenzied solid seventh prince!
It was the instructors who stepped forward to stop the horrible scene.
From then on, no one dared to touch a hair on the seventh prince's little companion.
But now, big brother actually wanted to beat Xue Yao with five lashes!
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors were fully concentrated with their eyes wide open, ready to hold down the Seventh Brother and prevent him from doing something treasonous!
The Seventh Prince looked at his own young companion in shock.
The image of the little companion dying in the arms of his highness with a cry of pain after receiving a whip was already in his head!
And at this moment, the old eunuch had walked through the door, holding the tray holding the ring whip.
"Come over here, all of you, and stand in line." The Prince pointed to the center of the room.
The Fifth Prince immediately took the lead and walked over to stand.
The Sixth Prince tugged at the Seventh Prince, who refused to take a beating, and forcibly pulled to stand beside the Fifth Brother.
Xue Yao also obediently stood next to the Seventh Prince, playing a careful trick and standing a step forward, intending to be the first to be whipped, screaming miserably and loudly, so that the Crown Prince would think that he had been too heavy-handed, so that he would hit the little fat cub a little lighter later on.
The old father's heart can be seen in the sun and the moon!
The Crown Prince took a deep breath and stood up with a serious face, walking over to his brothers.
The eunuch bowed forward, handing over the ring whip, in order not to offend a few young princes, the eunuch whispered to urge a sentence: "Hit in the body of the princes, the pain in the heart of His Highness, His Highness must be light on the hand!"
"If you start lightly, they won't be able to remember." The Crown Prince raised his hand to take the whip with a cold face, and just as he gripped the handle of the whip, the back of his hand was suddenly pressed by a small tender paw!
The force was not small, and he froze and pressed the handle of the Prince's whip to fall back to the tray.
"......" The Crown Prince looked up to see who was so bold, and saw his precious seventh brother staring at him with a cold expression.
The Sixth Prince and Xue Yao reached out at the same time and hastily yanked the little fat cub's paw back!
Smiling, he asked the Prince to continue.
The crown prince decided not to bother with the seventh brother, and lowered his head to reach for the whip again, when that restless little paw paw, actually hitched the back of his hand once more and pressed the whip back down.
"What are you doing!" The crown prince intimidated his seventh brother with a very fierce expression to show his determination that he would not refrain from doing anything this time just because the oldest seven was cute.
"No hitting Yao Yao." The Seventh Prince's little fat face was very majestic as he whispered his order.
The prince shook off his brother's hand, grabbed the whip and taught: "Make a mistake, you have to be punished, lone weekdays are too indulgent, thought you know what to do and know how to be courteous, but I did not expect to spoil you to be so treacherous."
The Seventh Prince's gaze flinched as he stepped out and blocked in front of Xue Yao, coldly saying to his big brother, "Let's have a duel between the men."
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors instantly closed their eyes in despair.
Here we go again.
That's a couple dozen more lashes for the whip!
"You want to fight Lone?" The Prince was stunned.
The Seventh Prince took a step sideways, and his arms danced like a swimming dragon, setting up a Tai Chi starting style to frighten his elder brother, "Zhang Si teaches kung fu very well, and my son's martial arts have covered the world."
The Crown Prince, holding the whip in one hand, queried, "You've studied with him for half a year, and you're already a kung fu master?"
The seventh prince hooked the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and swiftly pushed a cover step tiger claw stance, his gaze arrogantly looking at his elder brother.
The Crown Prince hummed and laughed, "So powerful? If you can dodge Lone's three lashes, you and Xue Yao will be spared the lashes today."
The Seventh Prince's eyes lit up, and he immediately set up another right lunge punch in triumph, intending to shock his big brother.
The Prince raised his hand and "snapped" three lashes!
So fast that the crowd didn't even have time to raise their eyes!
The Seventh Prince, who was still posing, couldn't even dodge a whip!
"Brother hasn't bowed yet!" The Seventh Prince stormed out!
Those who practiced against the Emperor were required to nod and salute before making a move.
In the Seventh Prince's opinion, not having saluted meant that he could not start yet, and the Crown Prince was completely playing tricks.
"What kind of salute?" The Crown Prince looked disdainful: "Big brother beats you up and still has to salute you first? Stand still, there are still seven lashes to tell Lone to finish."
The Fifth Prince couldn't help but be surprised, "These three lashes are so light, do they count?"
The prince slanted him a glance: "Too light? I'll beat you up a bit more."
Fifth Prince: "That's not what I meant!"
The Crown Prince turned back and realized that the seventh brother had already disappeared, leaving Xue Yao with a terrified face, his head down and frantically waving as if he was calling for someone to get up.
The prince followed his gaze and looked down to see his own fat brother already lying on the ground with his little bun face ......
"What are you doing?" The Prince rushed to reach for it, but it was dodged by Chitti, who rolled to his left.
The Seventh Prince sensed that his big brother's sight was in place and immediately began to roll around, "No fighting, no fighting! My son's Yao Yao can't be hit!"
The crown prince was stunned, "Is this how your masters duke it out with each other?"
The Sixth Prince reminded his elder brother, "Brother should have nodded to Seventh Brother before dueling, otherwise it won't count."
The Prince was practically speechless, "When in real danger, will the enemy give you a nod before making a move?"
The Seventh Prince, lying on the ground, retorted in exasperation, "Brother is not an enemy!"
I don't know what went wrong, but the Crown Prince's heart suddenly softened because of the seventh brother's words, "Brother is not an enemy.
After a moment of silence, the Crown Prince looked at the aggrieved expressions of his fifth and sixth brothers, slowly took a deep breath, threw the whip back into the tray, and turned around to sit back in the eunuch's chair at the top.
The old eunuch could see that his master was unable to do anything, and hurriedly retreated to the corner with the tray.
Xue Yao hurriedly helped the little fat cub up.
The Prince waved the chamberlains out and closed the door to talk to his brothers alone.
"Let's not talk about what crime it is for a fake eunuch to mix into the harem," the Crown Prince looked at the Fifth Prince: "Fifth brother is not young anymore, in the next two years, father may want to appoint a marriage for you, just think about it, if there is such a man who is trying his best to stay beside your future concubine, how would you think about it? If it is spread to the public, and the wild history gives you a record, it will become a laughing stock for the ages, how can the face of the heavenly family be saved?"
"We didn't realize before that Zhang Si didn't have a net." The Fifth Prince commiserated.
The sixth prince seized the opportunity to explain, "Big brother, we do not want Zhang Si to return to the palace as a eunuch, just want to ask you can transfer him into the royal schoolyard as a head teacher, we think he teaches better than the other head teachers, and the head teachers can not enter the East and West Palace, do not need to purify the body ah."
The Prince stared at his words, not having thought that his brothers meant this.
That Zhang Si is indeed a good fighter, and that day in the Ping Rong County Ward, he risked his life to protect Xue Yao despite the danger of contracting a disease, so his character is not bad.
But the Prince had never sparred with him, and he didn't know if he was a decent path.
"What kung fu has he taught you?" The Prince asked.
"He chose the most suitable kung fu for us!" The Fifth Prince raised his hand and gestured twice: "I practice horse lance!"
The Sixth Prince set up a Bagua Palm stance, "I practice the Bagua Sect Ziwu Yuanyang battle-axe! Complemented by the Taiji Mind Technique!"
The Seventh Prince, who hadn't been selected for a weapon, was speechless.
The Prince asked the Seventh Brother, "What about you? Do you practice rolling on the ground?"
"Zhang Si said that Seventh Brother is gifted with the Returning Tour Physique." The Fifth Prince returned, "That's why he taught Taiji Heart Technique and the fundamentals of several schools of kung fu, without specializing in any particular school."
"Return to swim physique?" The Crown Prince let out a bitter laugh, "How is it that even the words of a charlatan have come out?"
"Not a jianghu cheat!" The Sixth Prince explained, "The Seventh Brother is truly gifted, having learned only the three Bagua Palm styles, he was able to defeat Instructor Li!"
The crown prince glanced at his seventh brother, suspecting that Instructor Li was deliberately letting the water down because he saw his fat brother as cute.
Even the dead prince did not believe that Old Seven had any amazing attainments in martial arts.
Of course, this can not be said to hit the younger brother, or aside from the topic said: "his identity nowadays school field iron is not to enter, if you just want to learn kung fu with him, lone can arrange for him to teach privately, but will never let him set foot in the harem again, and have to first find out where his teacher, must be from the road to the formal, so as not to mislead the children of others."
The princes burst into cheers!
The Seventh Prince used a move of Gai Bu Tiger Claw to scare off his big brother and save Silly Yao Yao, and at this moment, he looked at his little companion with a proud face, waiting to thank him for his grace.
Xue Yao only remembers that His Highness the Crown Prince's three whips little fat cubs did not escape for a moment, distressed his own stupid fat cubs, nervously asked: "Does His Highness's arm hurt? It's not hurt, is it?"
The seventh prince's smug smile gradually solidified.
The Crown Princess had a rare absence of fasting restrictions in recent days, and had prepared a sumptuous table of delicacies for the young royals at midday to make up for the guilt of letting Laoqi come and eat his veggies every time.
The Prince also dined with his brothers.
Xue Yao realized that when the Crown Prince was around, the Crown Princess's expression when she ate her food had become particularly restrained, completely missing the natural cuteness of the girl that was naturally evident on weekdays.
Xue Yao wondered if this woman was pretending to be dignified in front of the Crown Prince.
Good men like bad women reasoning, ancient and modern common, this bad of course does not mean the character of the bad, but refers to the prince of this kind of poetry and etiquette of the family of men, most of them tired of seeing the standard style of good women.
If the Crown Princess were to behave like this in private, it would be tantamount to torture for the Crown Prince.
