Chapter 63 The Queen Mother Comforts Zhao Qin

Zhao Qin had not yet mastered the skill of speaking which would enable him to help Bei Jingchu in a debate with court officials and defeat a hundred of them at once. Facing his mother's scolding, he could only remain speechless.

Bei Jingchu wanted to curse, although she could only use baby talk.

But before she could curse, her mouth appeared.

Zhou Huanjiu was helped up by the palace maid and brushed the dust off her skirt.

He ran over and stood in front of Zhao Qin, inserting himself into the stagnant atmosphere of the two people, one big and one small.

"Why are you accusing him of something he didn't do?"

"Are you really his biological mother? My mother said that there is no mother who doesn't love her own child. You don't love him at all. Did you pick him up?"

"Every time I asked my mother where I came from, she would tell me that she found me in the garbage dump."

"But I don't believe it. Mammy said that I was born by my mother."

The eldest princess's expression became uglier as she spoke. No wonder she quarreled with Yu'er, a wild girl who didn't know the difference between respect and inferiority and didn't know her place.

"Mother, whose child is this?"

She also knew to ask the Queen Mother first to find out the identity of the child before considering how to deal with her.

"She is my niece."

Many people in the capital knew that Duke Xin had been demoted.

Normal titles can be kept for a lifetime and can be inherited by descendants.

It was rare for someone to be stripped of his title after only being conferred the title a few years ago, and this sparked a lot of discussion in the capital.

The eldest princess no longer cared about Zhou Huanjiu.

"If that's the case, the daughter of a guilty minister dares to yell at Yu'er. Mother, how can you tolerate such unruly behavior in Renshou Palace?"

Bei Jingchu: [As expected of a person like Zhao Yu who raised a naughty child. I should have known long ago that behind every naughty child there is always a naughty parent.]

[Otherwise, the naughty kid would have been taught a lesson the first time he acted like a troublemaker. ]

The Queen Mother didn't know what the term "naughty child" meant, but she could understand it easily.

For the first time, she experienced in concrete terms what it meant to be a strong mother.

Guangde used to speak in a soft voice, but he never expected that after having a son he loves, he would go crazy.

Or does she really bully the weak and fear the strong, and thinks Jiu'er is easy to bully because he is a child?

The Queen Mother suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with her education.

"Jiu'er is my niece. In terms of generation, she is your cousin and Zhao Yu's aunt."

"If you're talking about rules, isn't Zhao Yu's disrespect for elders a bigger mistake?"

Zhou Huanjiu looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, then turned to look at Zhao Qin.

"I am your cousin?"

There was a lot of doubt in her little head.

The princess was fed up, "Mother!"

"If you make trouble again, take your precious child back and don't even think about entering the Hongwenguan. My Renshou Hall is not a place for you to mess around."

The eldest princess didn't dare to make trouble anymore and glared at Zhou Huanjiu fiercely.

Zhou Huanjiu made a face at her in response, and the eldest princess's expression became even uglier.

Bei Jingchu clapped her hands, wonderful, so wonderful.

After a commotion, Niang San was finally settled down in Renshou Hall.

The next day, the eldest princess went to visit Concubine Fang. She stayed in the harem for a while, so she still had to visit the current manager.

Zhao Yucun acted like a good kid in front of the Queen Mother. He looked like Princess Guangde, and therefore also like Concubine Qiu.

Facing his face that was 70% similar to that of a good sister, the Queen Mother did not look too unhappy even though she knew that he was not a good person. She could even be considered kind.

But what made her feel even more distressed was the other child who just sat quietly by the side, not daring to move.

"Qian'er, come here."

Zhao Yu pouted unhappily: "Grandma, Yu'er wants to sit next to you."

The other seat next to the Queen Mother was where Zhou Huanjiu sat, and there was only this one seat.

Zhou Huanjiu was concentrating on eating the cake in his hand.

Click, click, click.

The Queen Mother gently pushed him away and said, "Yu'er, be good. How about I put the breakfast in your room and eat it?"

The children were not very able to resist the temptation to eat in their own rooms and were easily sent away.

Zhao Qin walked over and stood beside the Queen Mother. He did not dare to sit down but stood very proper. His slightly trembling eyelashes showed his uneasiness.

Bei Jingchu couldn't bear to watch: [How much has this child been humiliated? What a poor child. ]

The Queen Mother touched his head and said, "Just now I saw that you were thinking about coming here, why didn't you say it?"

"My mother said that my younger brother is young, and as an older brother, I should give in to him and not compete with him."

The Queen Mother wanted to sigh, what a sin Guangde had committed.

If she had two children, she would rather have them fighting and giving her a headache than have one of them suffer injustice.

"Your brother is younger than you, but you are only three years older than him. You are also a child. Why should you give in? Just say it out loud if you want something."

"Whether or not something can be satisfied is a matter for adults, and children just need to speak out."

Zhou Huanjiu nibbled on the cake in his hand.

Click, click, click.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to talk, but she’s going to be late for school, she’s going to be late!

Click, click, click.

Renshoudian is quite far from Hongwenguan. In order to let her rest more, the Empress Dowager asked the palace maids to wake her up at a specific time.

Zhou Huanjiu didn't dare to waste any time and started to show off his breakfast as soon as he got dressed.

It opened its huge mouth and devoured the food like a refugee who had been hungry for three days.

Click, click, click.

Bei Jingchu listened to the Queen Mother's enlightened speech and had already foreseen the good days ahead: [Hehehe, if you can just tell me what you want, then if I want the good stuff in the Queen Mother's warehouse, will she give it to me too? ]

[Hahaha, gold. Put all of it in my bowl. The Big Mother will definitely give it to me, right?]

[Let’s set a small goal first, empty the warehouse of the big mother! ]

Queen Mother: ...Is it my blessing to have you?

No, I am really impressed by you.

Zhao Qin: "But if my mother saw this, she would definitely scold me."

The Queen Mother took off Bei Jingchu's small cotton jacket made of black cotton and held Zhao Qin's hands with both hands. "It's okay, Grandma is your mother's mother."

"You can speak up boldly in the future. If she scolds you, your grandmother will kick her out."

Zhou Huanjiu: Crunch, crunch, crunch.
