Chapter 167 I'm a virgin!

Then look at Xie Yunqi, who is nine years old, and his behavior and manners are not as calm as anyone else's!

Consort Li grew angrier the more she thought about it, and twisted Xie Yunqi's ear with her hand. Xie Yunqi grimaced in pain, looking like a rock with its claws outstretched.

"Ouch! Ouch! Mother, what are you doing?!"

"Why are you still calling me Mother Consort? Look around this tent, who else is like you? How childish!"

"Who's naive? Mother, didn't you see that I just touched the tiger's butt? The storybook says that if you can touch a monkey's butt, you'll rise above others; if you touch a tiger's butt, you're bound to achieve great things!"

"puff--"

Everyone was amused by Xie Yunqi's nonsensical logic, and Sheng Sheng laughed even harder, comforting Shi Tou: "It's okay, it's okay, Sheng Sheng will get revenge for you later."

Xie Yuxiao sighed with a headache. He only had a few sons, and the one who caused him the most trouble was Xie Yunqi.

"Alright, alright." Xie Yuxiao beckoned Consort Li to stop and said to Xie Yunqi, "You rascal, you're always jumping around all day long. Have you finished memorizing what I asked you to memorize last time? Don't think you can stop just because you're out. You brought the book with you, right? Keep memorizing without stopping. I specifically instructed your mother to bring it for you. Your fourth brother isn't here, so I think you should just recite it to the Crown Prince. Don't miss a single word!"

Xie Yuxiao was referring to the assignment he had given Xie Yunqi at Liuyun Pavilion. Originally, Xie Yunwen was supposed to supervise him, but Xie Yunwen didn't come during the hunt, so Xie Yuxiao had no choice but to ask him to find Xie Yunqi to give the assignment.

Xie Yunqi let out a wail: "What the hell? No, Father, we're going to the Shanglin Hunting Grounds soon! It only happens once a year, and you're still taking advantage of me!"

Consort Li covered his mouth and glared at him: "You should listen carefully to what your father says!"

Xie Yunqi was not about to shut up. He had only come to see the excitement after finishing his meal because he had heard that Shengsheng had brought a tiger back.

If he had known that coming to watch the fun would lead to this whole essay-recitation thing, he would never have come.

Xie Yunqi slapped himself across the face, filled with regret: "Hey, it's all your fault! Always getting involved in other people's business, now look what happened!"

Sheng Sheng felt a little sorry for him. After thinking for a moment, she said gently, "Father, Fifth Brother is actually very smart. It won't make a difference if he spends a few more days memorizing his lessons. Look how brave Fifth Brother is! Would you dare to touch my Stone's butt?"

The little dumpling held up the stone's bottom and swung it around, tilting its head and asking, "Hmm? Hmm? Want to touch it?"

When Xuan arrived in front of Eunuch Hou, the eunuch tilted his hat and waved his hand with a "Oh dear, Princess, you think too highly of this old servant."

Then, when Xie Yunqi appeared in front of Consort Li, Consort Li trembled and silently released her left hand that was twisting Xie Yunqi's ear and her right hand that was covering Xie Yunqi's mouth, and stepped back.

Then she showed it to Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan, and the two of them very cooperatively looked away, indicating that they dared not touch it.

"Hehe, Father, look, no one else dares, only Fifth Brother does. That shows that Fifth Brother is very brave. Our Fifth Brother has many good qualities, Father, don't always make him recite his lessons!"

Xie Yuxiao sighed. Sheng Sheng was so obviously trying to get him to give Xie Yunqi a few days off. He was getting a taste of what it meant to be a sweetheart to someone else.

Xie Yunqi was deeply moved: "Little sister, you're so good to your brother. It wasn't for nothing that I touched the tiger's butt!"

The little dumpling chuckled and teased him, "Stone, why don't you touch Fifth Brother's butt too?"

"Huh?!" Xie Yunqi covered his backside and ran away. "I'm a perfectly innocent virgin!"

Consort Li clicked her tongue and smacked him on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Which storybook did you learn this from?"

Xie Yunqi covered her head in grievance.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." Xie Yuxiao shook his head with a smile. "Sheng Sheng has already said so. If I force you to memorize things during this hunt, people will say I'm heartless."

Xie Yunqi's eyes lit up: "Really? So Father Emperor means that I don't need to memorize the texts?"

"Of course it's not that you won't memorize it. Don't you know how bad your studies are? Grand Tutor Liu comes to me every day because he's worried about your studies. I'm just letting you relax for a while. Once we return to the palace, you'll have to continue memorizing it."

Xie Yunqi readily agreed: "Alright, alright, when we get back, I'll pack up and go to Liuyun Pavilion to snuggle up in bed with Fourth Brother."

Xie Yuxiao chuckled, and Li Fei poked his head: "You, all you ever think about is how to ruin other people's lives."

"How is that a menace? Your son and fourth brother can snuggle in bed together and talk all night long. How joyful!"

Sheng Sheng imagined the scene of Xie Yunqi having a "long talk all night" with Xie Yunwen. It was probably one of them fantasizing about transforming into a great immortal to save the world, while the other was full of Confucianism and Mencius's teachings and couldn't understand them but tried his best to.

The thought of this scene is quite funny.

The little dumpling smiled as it thought about it.

The tent was bustling with activity, with several children playing around. Xie Yuxiao hadn't felt this warm and cozy feeling in a long time, and for a moment, he didn't even feel so much of a headache looking at Xie Yunqi.

After a while, Xiao Tao came over. Xie Yunjia knew that Sheng Sheng and the others had just returned in a hurry and were afraid that Xiao Tuanzi was still hungry, so she sent Xiao Tao to call them to her place for a meal.

"Second Princess, didn't you tell our princess last time that you love stewed beef brisket with potatoes until it's very tender? As soon as the princess heard that the princes had returned, she ordered the cook to make it and specially sent me to invite the princes to dine together!"

"Potato and Beef Brisket!"

Upon hearing this, my stomach really did rumble again.

Sheng Sheng's stomach was like a bottomless pit; it emptied again after a short rest. She immediately said, "Okay, okay, Your Highness really loves Sheng Sheng. Xiao Tao, you go back first, we'll be there in a bit."

Xiao Tao smiled and took her leave: "Yes, then Xiao Tao will go back and instruct the cook to prepare the meal."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Yuxiao spent a long time asking people about the wolf pack, but then Xie Yunqi interrupted him, and Xie Yuxiao completely forgot that the children hadn't eaten yet.

Consort Li figured that one dish of stewed beef brisket with potatoes wouldn't be enough, so she ordered someone to send a few more dishes to Xie Yunjia.

Sheng Sheng couldn't wait to eat, and pulled Xie Yunchuan, wanting to run towards Xie Yunjia: "Thank you, Consort Li, we'll be going now."

Xie Yunqi wanted to follow Sheng Sheng's lead and said, "I'm suddenly hungry again, so I'll go too."

"Hey, wait a minute." Xie Yuxiao called out to Shengsheng, "Look at your... Stone, look how dirty Stone is, there's still dried mud on its tail. Go have your meal first, and give Stone to the palace maids to wash it clean. Then I'll have the imperial physician examine Stone. Since you're going to take care of him for the time being, you still need to ensure his health and safety."

"Okay, sure."

Sheng Sheng thought it made sense, so she handed the stone to the palace maid who came up tremblingly to take it.
