Chapter 122 Who is Your Mother?
The wind was exceptionally strong today, blowing the leaves off the trees, but it couldn't blow into the corner surrounded by three walls.
The space in the corner is neither too big nor too small, but it is enough for three children to whisper inside. The narrow corridor is blocked by the maple trees and weeds outside.
This was originally a secret base that Pei Qian discovered while walking his cat and dog. He later sincerely invited Asui to join, and now there is a third prince.
At this moment, the three little cubs were sitting side by side on a stone block, with some snacks placed on the small stone block next to them. They looked so comfortable.
"So your mother is not your mother, but someone else?"
After listening to the whole story, Pei Qian summed it up in one sentence.
The Third Prince was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Pei Qian grew even more curious and leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with gossip. "Then who is your mother? Did you hear anything?"
The Third Prince lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "No, I don't know either."
Today, when he was playing hide-and-seek with the palace maids serving him, he accidentally heard two palace maids mention himself in their conversation. Out of curiosity, the third prince hid and eavesdropped, and the result was a big shock to him.
The two palace maids said that he was not his mother's biological child, and his mother was someone else!
The Third Prince instantly recalled what the nurse had accidentally let slip that day - 'After all, she's not my biological child...'
Was it because she wasn't my biological child that my mother wasn't close to me? Was it because she was always so distant towards me? Was it because she only hugged me affectionately in front of my father?
But since his mother is not his biological mother, then who is his mother?
The eight-year-old Third Prince felt extremely confused and aggrieved. He abandoned the palace maids and hid himself. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Pei Qian and Lu Changsui, and was brought here again.
Moreover, the entrance passage was too narrow to accommodate his body, so he was forced to crawl in through a dog hole hidden behind the haystack.
Pei Qian sighed, patted the Third Prince on the shoulder and said proudly, "It's okay. No matter who your mother is, you are still my cousin, Pei Qian. We are still good brothers!"
The Third Prince was deeply moved, tears welling in his eyes: "Thank you, good brother."
The two of them hugged each other and pretended to cry. Then they turned around and saw Asui standing beside them, silent.
Pei Qian: "Lu Changsui, why aren't you talking?"
Asui rubbed his pretty face, touched his right eyelid and murmured, "I don't know why, but my eyelid keeps twitching."
Pei Qian said firmly, "You must have read too much, and your eyes are protesting!"
Asui didn't think so. He had read a lot of books before and didn't skip any of them.
He put it aside for the moment and turned to ask the Third Prince: "Then do you still want to go back?"
The Third Prince rubbed his eyelids and said in confusion: "I don't know."
"Can I sleep at your place tonight? I want to be alone."
He looked at the two of them expectantly.
Pei Qian said rudely, "Then you can sleep on the floor."
The third prince was stunned: "I am a prince!"
How can it be justified to let the prince sleep on the floor?
Pei Qian held his chin in his hand, "Oh."
He suddenly sighed, a look of sorrow on his dark face: "Is this the trouble of growing up?"
The Third Prince: "What's troubling you?"
Pei Qian: "My mother wants me to study for the imperial examinations, but I want to learn martial arts and become a general!"
Ah Sui: "Then why don't you study and practice martial arts at the same time?"
The Third Prince nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should focus on the imperial examinations on one hand and the military examinations on the other."
Pei Qian:..........
If he could do both, he wouldn't be so troubled.
Unwilling to bother explaining, Pei Qian chose to deflect his anxiety: "Lu Changsui, what about you? Are you worried?"
Asui hesitated and nodded, "Yes."
He held his chin with both hands and said softly, "I want to grow up quickly."
"Why?"
"Because I want to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible and become an official of the imperial court."
"If you want to be an official, why don't you ask your uncle to give you one?"
At such a young age, Young Master Pei already understood the principle of using backdoors.
"No!" Asui shook his head and refused. His eyes were firm: "I want to take the exam myself!"
So, everyone has their own troubles.
"well!"
The three cubs sat side by side, holding their chins together, and sighed heavily three times.
Finally, Pei Qian slapped his thigh and said, "I won't say anymore."
He pulled out a large bamboo tube and three small wooden bowls from his book bag, poured full portions into each of them, and took the lead in raising his bowl, saying generously, "Come on, let's drink!"
After finishing this bowl, they will no longer be annoyed.
The Third Prince held the bowl in confusion: "This isn't wine, why should it be dry?"
Pei Qian gave him a look that said, "You don't understand this, do you?" "It's not wine, but it is fermented rice balls!"
He had specially poured this into a bamboo tube and brought it out from the kitchen.
The Third Prince hesitated: "We won't get drunk if we drink, right? My mother won't let me drink."
"No, it's fermented rice, not wine."
Asui sniffed it and found that it was indeed fermented rice balls. He had seen his mother eat them and was told that they were good for nourishing the body.
He was still young at that time, only three years old, and his mother told him not to eat it.
He is four and a half years old now, so it should be fine for him to eat it.
"If you're afraid of getting drunk, just chew a few more pills and you won't get drunk," he said calmly.
Pei Qian/the Third Prince's eyes suddenly lit up. "That makes sense! Lu Changsui, you're so smart!"
"Brother, let's do it!"
After finishing a bamboo tube of fermented rice balls, the three cubs ate some other snacks. Gradually, someone said, "I feel a little sleepy..."
Pei Qian blinked, a suspicious blush spreading across his dark cheeks, and he nodded haltingly, "Me, me too."
Ah Sui's fair face flushed red, and he said slowly: "I think I heard someone calling us..."
"...Did you hear wrong? We're hiding so well, how could anyone find us?"
"Have we forgotten something..."
"have no idea........"
"call......."
“........”
Maple leaves fell rustlingly, covering the three cubs.
In the evening, the Yulin Army who was searching for three precious eggs with hunting dogs suddenly felt their hands tighten. Then the hunting dogs barked wildly and ran towards somewhere.
The Yulin Army hurriedly followed until they came to a patch of grass. After parting the grass, they were surprised to find a dog hole. They looked inside the hole and...
“!!!”
The Yulin Army was ecstatic: "Found it! Found it!"
"We've found His Majesty the Third Prince and the others!"
.........
Emperor Jingxuan and Yun Wan and his companions hurried over and saw the three sleeping soundly through the corridor behind the maple tree.
One was lying in a spread-eagle position, one was curled up, one was sticking out his butt, and they were all sleeping with their legs spread out, looking dizzy and dark.
Then he looked at the messy snacks next to him.
Emperor Jingxuan's forehead twitched wildly, while Yun Wan and other mothers turned silent out of worry.
Commander Wei, who had been searching for people for a whole day and even looked for the chicken coops in the poultry room, couldn't help but gloat over this.
Oh no! The buttocks of these three darlings are in danger.
