Chapter 269: Apology
Fusu looked like he was determined to protect Ziying.
Everyone had no choice but to apologize to Ziying, and even Mi Yan was pulled over to pay a deep bow to Ziying.
Ziying was in a very good mood and was not angry at all because of the offense from these people. Ever since his uncle King Qin gave him the jade pendant, he didn't care about the voices around him.
No matter who looked down on him, his eldest mother always treated him like her own grandson, his uncle the King of Qin was willing to trust him, and his eldest brother always protected him. He was not afraid of these people!
"It's no use to apologize. I will never forgive you! You can dream of becoming my elder brother's study partner!" Ziying made a big face at them, looking like a fox taking advantage of the power of a tiger.
Fusu couldn't help but pull him, trying to make him restrain himself and maintain his image.
Ziying turned back angrily, "Brother, why are you pulling me? I haven't finished scolding you yet!"
Fusu coughed lightly and reminded him softly, "Teacher Chunyu is coming. If he hears you cursing, you will be punished to copy the "On Rites" again."
Ziying opened his eyes wide, looked east and west, and sure enough, he saw the figure of Teacher Chunyu appear at the corner of the corridor.
He lowered his voice and said, "I'll let you go this time, but if you dare to act so presumptuously in front of me again next time, I'll beat you up!"
Ziying waved his little fists, threatening a group of children who were a head taller than him.
The crowd then dispersed——
What happened in the school today was no secret, especially since it involved Prince Fusu.
When Changping Jun Mi Qi heard about this, he was so angry that he punished Mi Yan to kneel in the yard for a whole hour. If his wife had not pleaded for him, Mi Yan would have continued to kneel.
"You are so rude, kid. Do you know your mistake?"
Mi Yan cried with tears all over her face, and said aggrievedly, "My son, what did I say wrong? Ziying is clearly the child of a traitor. Master Fusu didn't let us follow him, but instead hung out with that brat all day. Wasn't he the one who instigated trouble with Master Fusu?"
"You still don't know you're wrong!" Mi Qi picked up a cane and whipped Mi Yan, explaining in a cold voice, "Prince Fusu was sent to Yongcheng in the past, and it was the Queen Mother and Prince Ziying who accepted him. Now, although the two of you are not blood brothers, you are more than brothers. You, an outsider, bullied Ziying in front of Fusu. Do you think he would still accept you?"
Mi Yan stiffened his neck and said unconvincedly, "If you don't want to accept me, then don't accept me. The king has so many sons, why does father favor Fusu? What if he's not the one who becomes the crown prince? Then all your efforts will be in vain."
"Aside from being the eldest son, what's the difference between Fusu and the other princes? Does father really think he's some kind of talent for governing the country?"
Mi Qi slapped him again and said coldly, "Because the king likes him, the queen mother likes him, and his mother is the princess of my Chu State!"
Mi Yan hummed and didn't refute anymore, but her face was still full of anger.
So what? Fusu didn't like him, so was he going to put his warm face on the cold butt?
"Get up and follow me into the palace."
"Where are you going?"
Mi Qi snorted coldly, looking at his disappointing son, "Of course I have to go and apologize to Master Ziying!"
"I've already apologized to him! Why are you still going?"
"Has he forgiven you?"
Mi Yan said sullenly, "No."
"If you can't get his forgiveness today, then you will kneel in the yard tonight and you are not allowed to get up."
Mi Yan was so angry that she burst into tears and yelled, "If I don't apologize, then let me die on my knees right here!"
Anyway, I will be humiliated once I enter the palace, and then I will have to kneel here. I might as well kneel here and die.
"Are you going or not?"
…
"Father~ Ziying will definitely humiliate me then. If he humiliates me, isn't he also humiliating you? Are you just going to watch your son being humiliated by Ziying?" Mi Yan's butt was swollen from being beaten. Now he was sitting in the carriage. He covered his butt and cried out loudly every time it bumped around. He still didn't give up and tried to beg Mi Qi to take him back.
Mi Qi sighed. He didn't have many children, and his only son was Mi Yan, who was spoiled. It was so hard to assign him a task, but he messed it up.
He couldn't help but start to reflect on whether he had not taught Mi Yan enough, so that Mi Yan was not very smart, but also reckless and daring.
Compared with Fusu and Ziying, Mi Yan was really naughty.
"The two gentlemen are not unreasonable people. If you hadn't been rude first, they wouldn't have made things difficult for you. Since you apologized sincerely this time, they won't take it too seriously."
"No! You have no idea how arrogant Ziying is. He usually relies on Fusu and the Queen Mother to show off his power in the school. Now he looks like he wants to bully us."
Mi Qi hit him hard on the head, "If I ask you to apologize, then apologize properly and stop talking so much nonsense."
Mi Yan dodged with his head in his hands and fell on his butt. He grimaced in pain and didn't know where to touch for a moment.
Zhao Yuanxi also heard about what happened in the classroom, but compared to the quarrel between the children, she was also curious about who Fusu would choose as his study partner.
"Do you have someone you like?"
The princes of Qin State had to choose a study partner when they were seven years old. Fusu was six years old now, and his learning progress was much faster than that of other princes. It was not impossible for him to choose a study partner now.
Fusu shook his head. "I don't have a favorite, but my father seems to favor Li You."
"Li Si's son? He's the right age. If your father values someone, he must be a good person. You should get along well with him."
"Ziying should also make friends with him, don't bully him!"
Ziying nuzzled into Zhao Yuanxi's arms and whined, "I don't bully people casually. Those people were just too annoying today."
Zhao Yuanxi smiled dotingly, "Yes, Ziying is the most upright child. Today it is our Ziying who has been wronged!"
There are not many historical records about Li You, but Zhao Yuanxi remembered that after the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, he defended Xingyang to the death and blocked the rebels' westward advance. Unfortunately, he was eventually defeated by the coalition forces of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
What’s funny is that while he was defending the city in the front, Hu Hai killed his entire family behind his back.
"Empress Dowager, Lord Changping requests an audience."
The smile on Zhao Yuanxi's face faded a little, and he touched Ziying's small bun. "Did he say why he came to see me?"
"Changping Jun didn't elaborate, but he also brought Young Master Mi with him, and he's waiting at the palace gate now."
"Let them in!"
"Do you want to see that annoying guy?" Ziying asked with his head raised.
"If Ziying doesn't want to see him, you can go play in the back with your elder brother."
"Why should I hide from him? I'm going to stay here and piss him off to death!"
Zhao Yuanxi laughed. That’s right. They were the ones who made the mistake first. How could they let Ziying avoid it?
Mi Qi pulled Mi Yan in and was about to say something when he saw Prince Ziying sitting in the arms of Queen Dowager Zhao with his head raised and a smug look on his face.
