Chapter 59 Zhao Qin Enters the Palace

The princess was a little sad, but she didn't yell at him. Instead, she spoke kindly and gently: "Yu'er, there are some things that cannot be tolerated. Once it happens, there will be a second time."

Zhao Yu interrupted her directly: "There is a second one, there is a second one. Other people's fathers have many concubines, but my father has none. Is it because my mother is a princess?"

"Can't you just hold back for a moment? Yu'er wants Aye."

The princess looked very sad, with her head down and no words. Zhao Qin couldn't stand it any longer: "Brother, how can you talk to my mother like that and why don't you apologize to her?"

Zhao Qin has always been a gentle brother, or to be more precise, a brother who was forced to be gentle.

This was a rare time when he was strict.

He even felt that his tone was not harsh.

Zhao Yu had never been spoken of like this before, and immediately ran into the eldest princess's arms: "Mother, my brother is vicious to me!"

The younger son stopped looking for his father and came into her arms.

The princess immediately forgot her sadness and criticized Zhao Qin: "Zhao Qin, why are you so mean to your brother?"

"How many times has your mother told you to love and give in to your brother?"

"Your brother is younger than you and needs your love and care."

"You dare to treat your brother badly now, will you beat him again when he grows up?"

Zhao Qin didn't understand why the criticism was directed at him again.

Even when they arrived at the palace gate and got off the carriage, the eldest princess did not give him a good look.

She pulled Zhao Yu and walked straight in front, while Zhao Qin followed closely behind.

Fortunately, the eldest princess did not walk fast out of consideration for Zhao Yu's pace, so it was easy for Zhao Qin to catch up with her.

But after a while, Zhao Yu got tired.

"Mother, I'm tired and don't want to leave anymore."

The princess picked up Zhao Yu. The ceremonial officer who was leading the way took a step back and said, "Your Highness, please be careful. Let this servant hold him."

The eldest princess did not give it to her, and said proudly: "This child only recognizes me and only lets me hold him."

The palace road is very long, and the walk to Ninjuden is even longer.

Except the emperor, the empress dowager and those who were granted special privileges.

Others were not eligible to ride in a sedan chair, so they could only walk no matter how far the journey was.

Zhao Yu was resting in the eldest princess's arms, but no one cared whether Zhao Qin, who was also a child, was tired.

Finally they arrived at Renshou Palace. The princess could no longer hold Zhao Yu in her arms, so she put him down and led him.

A person has two hands, she held Zhao Yu with one hand, and the other hand was empty.

Zhao Qin pursed his lips and didn't pull it.

I followed them and watched their harmonious backs as they walked in.

He thought, maybe if he didn't go in, no one would notice.

"I am here with my eldest son Zhao Qin and my second son Zhao Yu to pay my respects to you, mother. I wish you a long and healthy life."

Bei Jingchu sat in the empress dowager's arms, her two big eyes focused on Zhao Qin who was kneeling at the back.

[How pitiful, it is really pitiful. It is heartbreaking to hear about it and brings tears to eyes to see it.]

[Look, what a pretty child, how come he has such an enemy-like parent? Sigh~]

The little old lady's words left the empress dowager speechless.

Don't forget that you are a child too.

Don't always think of yourself as an adult. You said this as if you were his aunt.

Seeing that her eldest granddaughter liked Zhao Qin very much, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Qian'er, come here, Grandmother."

Zhao Qin first glanced at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess frowned and quickly turned her head, motioning him to go over quickly.

Why are you dithering? You even dare not listen to the Queen Mother.

Still asking her for permission?

What should I do if the Queen Mother gets angry?

Zhao Qin walked up to the Queen Mother, feeling a little stiff because of discomfort.

The Queen Mother looked at him and praised him, "He is a handsome and well-mannered young man, worthy of being your son, Guangde."

Zhao Qin was flattered and rarely praised.

He couldn't tell whether the empress dowager's compliment was sincere or just out of courtesy, so he smiled, with two curls on his lips.

The shy and handsome little boy is so cute.

But the princess seemed to be blind to his merits: "Zhao Qin, the Queen Mother is talking to you, but you just sit there in silence. Don't you know how to respond?"

"Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

"Reply."

Zhao Qin replied in a low voice: "Thank you, grandma."

But the eldest princess was not satisfied: "Who can hear you if your voice is so soft? Thank you louder, but don't yell."

Before Zhao Qin could muster up the courage to thank her again, the empress dowager frowned in dissatisfaction: "Guangde, although the principle is to teach your child in person, is Renshou Hall the place where you discipline your child?"

The Queen Mother's tone suddenly became stern. In the past, she had always spoken softly and lovingly to the Princess.

The sudden severity frightened the eldest princess, and she knelt down, "Mother, please forgive me. I am terrified."

Zhao Yu observed all this silently. He knew that his mother was the eldest princess.

Although I don't understand what the princess means, my mother has the highest status in the family. Even my father is afraid of her, so the eldest princess is very powerful.

The eldest princess was afraid of the queen mother, so the queen mother became even more powerful.

The Queen Mother spoke even more fiercely: "I spoke to you in a slightly cold tone, and you got scared. How could that child not be scared after being scolded by you?"

"Is this how you teach your child? Did your mother and I treat you this way before?"

The eldest princess knelt down and defended herself: "Mother, this is not my fault."

She pushed Zhao Yu closer to her and said, "Look at Yu'er, he is lively and sensible, and I never scold him."

"I said it yesterday. Qin'er is as dull as an old man. I really can't do anything about it. I can't teach him at all."

Bei Jingchu didn't understand: [This obedient little boy, this is called introversion, quietness, shyness, and social phobia. ]

[You are a socially anxious kid, calling your relatives during the Chinese New Year is too much. Why do people have to be lively, likable and talkative? 】

[Can't you accept a child with a different personality? If you can't even treat your child normally, why give birth to him? ]

[Did you give birth to a child just to find a punching bag? ]

The Empress Dowager didn't understand either. The Emperor used to be a quiet person, so she just accepted her son's behavior.

I don't understand why Princess Guangde would be so biased against her eldest son.

She looked like a rather shy child.

The Queen Mother asked the palace maid to take the two children away, leaving Princess Guangde in the palace to be questioned alone.

She spoke without reservation, not afraid of hurting the child's feelings, but the Queen Mother didn't want the child to hear this at all.

"Sit down."

"Did Qin'er do something that disgusted you? Guangde, please don't deny it. Your attitude towards the two children is very different."

Princess Guangde lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before she said, "Mother, do you think I don't want to love you?"

"He is also my flesh and blood, and I want to treat him the same way I treat Yu'er."

"They are all my children, how can I not feel sorry for them? It's Qin'er who doesn't like me!"

She covered her chest and frowned as if in pain.

"I have had Yu'er with me since he was born. Every piece of clothing he wears and every word he says are chosen and taught by me personally."
