Chapter 462: Watch More, Talk Less
Several servants tried to hold back their laughter and thought their master was so adorable.
The fifth prince did not think she was cute. He was so angry that his nose spurted out and he said angrily, "Xinbao, what do you mean by this? Are you mocking me?"
Yan Shifan and Yan Shirong walked in quickly and said through the screen, "Fifth Uncle!"
Xinbao immediately threw herself into her older brother's arms. Feeling that the situation did not require fake crying, she pressed her brother's back and drew an arrow pointing inwards on his back.
The older brother understood and stood further inside.
Xinbao lay on his shoulder leisurely and played with his fingers.
The second brother said calmly, "Uncle Wu, my father heard from the palace servants that you were here, and he reprimanded them, saying that if you were here, how could you go directly to the back hall... I didn't expect that it was Uncle Wu? Where did Uncle Wu get angry, or who told him something to make him so angry? If Xinbao was wrong, Daddy and Yeye would teach him, why bother you so much?"
The fifth prince was trembling all over.
It's not because of anger, but because of fear.
These few words from my second brother were so understated, but they were really harsh and full of traps.
The first sentence was just a mockery. He really meant to take advantage of the situation, thinking that if he went to find the prince, they might make things difficult for him. It would be better to go directly to Xinbao. He could come to him out of the blue. There was no one to teach Tuanzi, so he only needed to say one sentence and the job would be done.
However, it was indeed rude to bypass his parents to look for a four-year-old child, and he felt a little embarrassed when someone pointed it out.
But what comes later is even more powerful than the ridicule.
Where did he get angry, who said what... He asked for mercy from the Qianqing Palace and came here directly. This clearly means that he is dissatisfied with his father and the emperor! ! And in the last sentence, he directly pointed out that the only ones who can compare with the princess are the emperor and the prince. He is a prince with no position, no rank, and no title, so he has no right to scold her! !
Every word is more cruel and sharp than the last one!!
He couldn't bear the weight of every sentence!! He didn't expect him to be so powerful!!
Think about it, the Fifth Prince's wife was directly confined just because she had a conflict with Xinbao... The Fifth Prince's heavy clothes were soaked with sweat in the middle of winter, and he forced a smile and said, "It's Uncle Wu's fault, it's all Uncle Wu's fault. Uncle Wu really doesn't have the courage to offend the young prince. It's not that I was anxious and my voice was a little high. Rong'er, please don't misunderstand."
He knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "I was rude in my words, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Isn't this a sign of knowing the importance of things?
Yan Shirong laughed inwardly.
Tell me, can't they just be honest? Are they just being cunning? They always want to play tricks! But it's enough to let him know that they are not easy to mess with, and Tuanzi can't be messed with. There's no need to do too much. It's not worth it.
He poked Tuanzi's butt.
Tuanzi wiggled her butt, and Yan Shirong wanted to laugh, so he poked her again. Tuanzi looked back, then he understood and said, "No need to be polite."
In fact, it was only a few breaths of time, but in the Fifth Prince's opinion, it had been a long time. He did not dare to say anything and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness."
He stood up, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Highness, what Fifth Uncle wants..."
"Oh!" Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let her come out then."
The fifth prince bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Highness. I am very grateful! I dare not disturb Your Highness, so I will take my leave now." He withdrew.
After he left, Yan Shifan and his friend carried Xinbao to the front hall.
Yan Qingshan and Madam Lin are the top priorities, but they can't help either. Xinbao has to follow Emperor Mingpei, and there is nothing for him to tell.
As for the brothers, Yan Qingshan said in a deep voice: "Fan'er is with Chang'er and Sheng'er, Rong'er is with Xiaowu and Xiaoliu. Don't be nervous. Since we are back, we will have to deal with these people sooner or later. Now they want to please us, so don't worry too much about what they think. Just remember, watch more and talk less, and listen to your brother."
The younger ones all agreed.
The second elder brother also said, "Don't be timid, don't be cowardly, if they try to please us, just accept it. If they look at us in a wrong way, just pretend not to see it. If they dare to say something unpleasant, write it down and complain later, or just fight back depending on the situation. Look at this fifth uncle, look at the sixth, eighth, and ninth uncles. Our father is the only one who can do it now, so whatever we do is right, so we should hold our heads high."
Yan Qingshan glanced at his son, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Mrs. Lin encouraged her sons: "Just treat it as a play. You can play a high-ranking official for just one day a year, and you can get good food and drink for a year. You can have whatever you want. No matter how hard you work, it's worth it. Don't you think so?"
Several people couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, this is true. If you think about it this way, you will not be nervous all of a sudden! ! Yan Shifan asked: "Are all the uncles coming with us?"
Yan Qingshan nodded, "They are actually the same. I think except for the fifth child, the others are okay. I met the sixth child once, and he treated me very attentively and respectfully. I felt that he was trying to show his good will. The eighth and ninth children are still young and don't look that outstanding. Don't worry about them for now."
Yan Shifan asked: "What if Sixth Uncle and the others show us goodwill?"
Yan Qingshan just said: "Just continue if you show your kindness."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Yan Shirong said, "I heard that Sixth Uncle is good at poetry and painting, especially landscapes. Even my master said that his paintings are good. If a person's mind is not on this, it is difficult to paint so well, so I think this person should be okay. Eighth Uncle is young and not very courageous. I think if he is not stupid, he will also come to show his good will."
Yan Qingshan added: "Just keep showing your goodwill. You don't have to be heartfelt. Just be nice on the surface."
The father and his sons were discussing something, and Xinbao couldn't get a word in. He was listening at first, but gradually he began to lose focus.
She asked Madam Lin: "Mother, where is the fragrance?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "They just picked some Impatiens from the greenhouse, crushed them, and are preparing to dye their nails!"
Xinbao's eyes lit up: "Xinbao wants to dye too!"
"Okay," Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "We'll ask them to dye it after dinner. Wear it overnight and take it off tomorrow morning."
Tuanzi stretched out her little hand: "Xinbao wants to dye it now, it will get redder over time!"
Mrs. Lin had no choice but to carry her over.
Xinbao's little nail was thin and delicate, so the person below carefully trimmed it with scissors first, then took the floral mud, and pinched it into small balls bit by bit, pressed it on the little nail, and then wrapped it with leaves and gently tied it up.
Xinbao raised his little hands and said, "I want my feet too!"
Seeing that Madam Lin had no objection, the palace maid stepped forward, took off her shoes and socks, trimmed her nails, and then put floral paste on them one by one and wrapped them up.
Xinbao looked at her hands and feet happily, and swung her little feet, looking so beautiful.
Madam Lin leaned forward and squeezed her fat feet: "Are you cold?"
"A little bit," Tuanzi said, "but for the sake of appearance, Xinbao can bear with it."
Madam Lin: “…”
She said speechlessly: "Bring my socks and shoes and put them on her. Just hang them like this for now. She will go to bed after dinner anyway."
