Chapter 383: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 126
Jingrui let out a howl. He was rebellious and unyielding. He twisted his little body and confronted his father.
"It's not fair! Father, you are bullying the weak! I have only learned martial arts for a short time. I don't want to fight with you. You are seeking revenge for your personal gain. You only know how to bully me. Mother, please save me!"
There were two little girls standing in the yard, wearing identical pink clothes and looking exactly the same, as if they were looking in a mirror.
The girl on the left had a little mud on her face. She pointed at Jingrui and said in a baby voice, "Big brother is bad! He pushed me!"
Jing Yu became even more furious. He suppressed his unfortunate son's resistance with one hand, pulled down his son's trousers, and slapped him.
"So you know what it means to bully the weak, then why are you bullying your sister? I think you are itching to get away with it. Who told you to push Yaoyao? Don't get close to my sister anymore!"
The girl on the left pouted and said loudly, "I am Qiqi! Father, you are such a fool. Yesterday you said you loved me the most, but today you mistook me for someone else!"
Jing Yu was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Impossible, are you lying to me again? I remember you are Yaoyao!"
Taking advantage of his father's daze, Jingrui finally escaped from the clutches of the devil. He was so angry that his eyes were red. The pain from his father's beating was one thing, but the most important thing was that his father actually pulled down his pants in front of his younger brothers and sisters.
Even though he only took off his outer pants, it was still very embarrassing.
Although he was clearly very aggrieved, Jing Rui refused to bow his head and shouted, "I just pushed her casually. Who knew she was so weak? She couldn't even sit steadily. What does it have to do with me?"
The little girl on the right burst into tears, stretched out her red palms, and shouted:
"Brother pushed me! Brother is so mean! I fell down, and brother was still laughing beside me! Father, you don't even look at me. I am Qiqi. I slept with you last night. Father doesn't like Qiqi anymore, wuwuwu..."
Jingrui had the loudest voice and yelled the loudest, "You're talking nonsense! It was you who asked me to help push the swing! You must have faked a fall to frame me!"
The little girl on the right was crying loudly, but it didn't stop her from talking at all, "It was Yaoyao who asked you to help push the swing. I can swing on the swing by myself. Who asked you to push me? You did it on purpose..."
The three little ones were quarreling fiercely. Jing Yu looked at one and then at that. The emperor, who was always decisive in the court, was now completely confused. He didn't know who to listen to. He couldn't even tell his own daughters apart.
Jing Xuan watched from the side and thought that his brother was a fool, his sister Yaoyao was a naive person, and his sister Qiqi was a troublemaker. But because the two sisters were prettier and more fun to tease, he liked the sisters a little more.
By the time Ji Yunhuan had taken a break from his busy schedule to go in and have a cup of tea, there was already a commotion outside.
The palace maids and nannies huddled aside, not daring to speak, and did not dare to get close under the emperor's majesty. Several children were quarreling loudly, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. There was also a Jing Xuan who stood by and watched the excitement.
Jing Yu was in a state of panic, and when he saw Huan'er, he was like seeing a savior.
Ji Yunhuan held the little girl on the left with one hand and said softly, "Yaoyao, don't tease your father. Your father is stupid and can't tell the two of you apart. If you keep making trouble, he won't be able to tell the two apart for the rest of his life."
Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and said honestly, "Okay, Father is so stupid that he gets fooled every time. I won't lie to you anymore."
Ji Yunhuan waved at Qiqi, and Qiqi ran to her mother, shaking her hand affectionately and acting coquettishly.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't bear to scold her, so he patted his little daughter's head and said, "You, you're not injured, but you pretended to be injured to deceive your father. Do you think your elder brother hasn't been beaten enough?"
Qiqi was not guilty after being exposed, and said confidently: "Who made him break my musket? He promised to compensate me with a new one, the kind that can shoot through trees, but he broke his promise and he won't give it to me!"
Jing Yu was furious when he heard this, "What? A musket? Where did the musket come from? Jing Rui, you are looking for death. Who told you to let your sister play with such a dangerous thing?"
Jingrui's ghostly howling could be heard again in the yard.
Jing Yu's anger was directed at his son, and he didn't even consider that the "broken musket" was obtained by the gentle and lovely princess herself.
Qiqi also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately covered her mouth, looking at her mother with horror.
The eldest brother was beaten so badly, would the queen mother also beat her?
Ji Yunhuan pressed her eyebrows. She didn’t understand why this one had become so distorted when they were raised the same way. Why did he have to like such a dangerous “toy” when there were so many other things he could like?
Gunpowder and firearms are both important national weapons. Once used, thousands or tens of thousands of lives are at stake. How can they be used for fun?
The little princess has been the center of everyone's attention since she was born. No matter whether she is smart or stupid, there are always people to protect her. It doesn't matter if she is a little spoiled and domineering, but she must not be obsessed with such killing weapons. A single thought from the superiors can sometimes result in thousands of corpses floating around.
Children are the most innocent. They cannot distinguish between good and evil. If they take such weapons for granted and regard them as easy to obtain, they will kill people without any scruples in the future.
Ji Yunhuan's face turned cold, and he ordered his men to confiscate all of Qiqi's "toys", including the slingshot, small flying knives, sleeve arrows, and the broken musket.
Kiki was heartbroken when she saw all the treasures she had pieced together were burned in a fire. When she was really sad, she didn't cry loudly, but shed tears silently. Her nose was red and she looked particularly pitiful.
Jingrui touched his butt and felt a burning pain. Seeing his sister crying like that, he felt bad and thought about where to get a musket for his sister so that she would stop crying.
Of course he couldn't say that out loud, or else his butt would really get hurt.
Jing Yu was heartbroken. While wiping Qiqi's tears, he advised the cold-faced queen, "Well, if the child likes it, just let her play. Just keep an eye on her. There will be no danger."
"Qiqi, don't cry. Tomorrow your father will go to the Firearms Bureau and find you some toys that are more fun than these."
Ji Yunhuan glanced at Jing Yu sideways and said coldly, "You dare! If I don't agree, I'll see who dares to give it to her!"
Ji Yunhuan pulled Qiqi out of Jing Yu's arms, squatted down and looked directly into her daughter's eyes. She knew that her children were smarter than ordinary children and could not be judged by common sense. If they were not guided, they might become a disaster.
"Listen carefully, a firearm is not a toy! It is a ferocious beast with sharp fangs that can devour human life at any time. If you don't have enough power to control it and don't know how to use it, then you can't touch it!"
"When you grow up, study hard, learn self-control, know how to control your desires, and figure out what you want to do, then even if you want to go to the Firearms Bureau, your mother won't stop you."
