"Father..."
"Mother..."
Outside the hall, poor Feng Yuxiao was shouting until his voice was hoarse, but his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, did not respond to him.
He could no longer jump, and depression was written all over his body.
He glanced at the closed door, then slowly squatted on the ground, lowered his head, and drew circles on the floor tiles with his chubby little fingers.
He pouted and thought angrily—
snort.
Eunuch Yuan is lying. The Emperor and the Empress are not discussing state affairs.
He shouted so hard, but they didn't come out!
If they were busy with serious matters, they would have rushed out and beaten him up for his annoying noise.
They must be doing something bad behind his back!
"Your Highness, please don't be unhappy. You are still a child. Children should laugh and play more. Let me play with you, okay?"
When Xiao Yuanzi saw the poor little prince squatting on the ground and drawing circles, he felt so distressed that he squatted down and coaxed him gently.
Feng Yuxiao looked up at Xiao Yuanzi, pouted angrily and said, "No, I'm going to stay here today. I want to see when they can come out. I'm going to grab their sleeves and ask them what they are doing hiding in there, leaving their precious child behind."
“…” When Xiao Yuanzi heard this, his scalp suddenly tightened.
Oh no, that won’t do!
According to their emperor's fighting ability, then...
Then I’m afraid I may not be able to come out even after dark!
The prince is so young, how can he stay here all night?
He exchanged a glance with Suqiu, then looked at the little prince with a headache.
Alas, Your Highness the Crown Prince, no matter how smart you are, you still know nothing about matters between men and women!
But even if the little prince didn't understand, as a servant, he wouldn't dare to explain such things to a child!
"Your Highness—"
After thinking for a moment, he could only bite the bullet and lie, "I'll tell you the truth. The Emperor and His Majesty just had a fight over Captain Chu. The Empress is angry and has gone to bed... And the Emperor, feeling that he had upset the Empress, was in a particularly bad mood, so he also fell asleep on the couch with a gloomy face..."
He fabricated this lie with great difficulty, patted himself on the back for being clever, and then said, "So, Your Highness, even if you wait until dark today, you won't see them come out."
Feng Yuxiao looked up at Xiao Yuanzi in disbelief.
Did you have a fight?
Is his father really so stingy?
He thought his father was just being sour and angry with his mother. Alas, it seems his father really does mind Captain Chu appearing in front of his mother!
At this moment, the three and a half year old boy developed a strong sense of responsibility!
He clenched his little fists.
No, he was the one who caused the trouble, so he has to solve it.
He stood up and said, "It was me who upset Father by mentioning Captain Chu. I will go in and apologize to Father and ask him not to be angry with Mother."
Xiao Yuanzi's scalp tightened again, and he quickly stopped him, "Your Highness, if you want to admit your mistake, you have to wait until tomorrow. The Emperor and the Empress have already gone to bed. It would be a shame to wake them up now, wouldn't it?"
Xiao Yuanzi and Suqiu each held one of Feng Yuxiao's arms and persuaded him patiently, and only then did Feng Yuxiao give up the idea of rushing in immediately.
He looked at the silent door, and sighed deeply with his hands behind his back.
Oh, all right. He'll come tomorrow.
So the next morning, Feng Changye, who had just returned from court to have breakfast, and Zhu Wuhuan, who had just gotten up, were blocked at the dining table by their three-and-a-half-year-old son and were taught a lesson by him.
"Father, Mother, I heard you had a fight yesterday. Is that true?"
As a good son, Feng Yuxiao felt that he should first ask his father and mother whether they really had a quarrel, and then reason with them.
What if they didn't quarrel, and Eunuch Yuan was just coaxing him for fun?
Then wouldn’t he be wronging his father, the emperor, and his mother?
"No."
Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye had no idea how Xiao Yuanzi had coaxed their son yesterday. So when faced with their son's sudden questioning, they were stunned and subconsciously denied it.
Seeing their denial, Feng Yuxiao was puzzled, "You didn't quarrel? Then why didn't you come out when I waited for you outside for so long yesterday? Eunuch Yuan said that you quarreled and fell asleep in anger, so you didn't want to pay attention to me."
When they heard the little thing mention what happened yesterday, Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan looked at each other guiltily.
The two of them subconsciously held on to their chopsticks and shamefully scratched their shoes with their toes.
Although my son didn’t know what they were doing yesterday afternoon, they felt guilty and embarrassed!
After a moment of silence, the two decisively chose to admit that they were arguing.
This is at least less awkward… "Ahem."
Zhu Wuhuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said nonchalantly, "Yes, your father and your mother had an argument yesterday, and your mother couldn't hold back her temper and started arguing with him."
Feng Yuxiao stared at her suspiciously, "Then why didn't you admit it just now?"
Feng Changye continued, "Your parents have no shame, do they? Of course, it's not easy to admit a quarrel. Besides, the emperor and the queen have reconciled. Why are you asking this? Don't ask anymore."
Feng Yuxiao glanced at his overbearing father who forbade him to ask questions and snorted.
He moved a small stool and sat down between the two of them.
He held his father's hand in one hand and his mother's hand in the other, and placed them on the table together with his own little hands.
He rested his chin on the backs of his parents' hands and said like a little adult, "Father, Mother, you are adults now. You can't quarrel over trivial matters. That's how you scolded me and my sister in the past. Why is it that when things happen to you, you are even more petty than me and my sister?"
He looked at his father first.
"Father, you've already said you believe the relationship between Mother and Captain Chu is innocent, so why are you so angry? You were the one who said on the city wall, in front of all the officials and the people, that you could share the throne with Mother. Why are you so petty when it comes to male sexuality?"
He said seriously, "Although Captain Chu is good-looking, you, Father, are even more handsome! Father, you are mature, steady, and domineering. You are the ruler of the world. How can Captain Chu compare to you? You will lose face if you compare yourself to him! Besides, Captain Chu will be my teacher in the future. He will have to come to Taiji Hall every day, and Queen Mother will have to see him every day. Father, can you bear the pain? You will die of jealousy if you suffer from it every day."
Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan both tried to hold back their laughter as they listened to their son cutely reasoning with them. From time to time, they nodded obediently to cooperate with their son and satisfy his desire for discipline.
But when they heard the last sentence, they were both stunned.
They all looked at their son in disbelief. "What did you say? You still want Captain Chu to be your teacher? Didn't you say yesterday that you gave up?"
Feng Yuxiao blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Yes, I lied to you yesterday. I didn’t expect your son to be so awesome, haha!
