Chapter 497: Dragon Orb (I)

My name is Long Baozhu, and my nickname is Long Baobao.

My father said that I was the treasure of the Long family and the apple of his eye, so he gave me this name.

But I think this name is not nice.

Baozhu, Baozhu, sounds like a well-fed piglet.

It’s all my father’s fault for giving me this name. I feel like I’m eating more and more, getting fatter and more like a pig.

But my brothers said that chubby ones are cute. I suspected they were lying to me, but I had no evidence.

I have nine older brothers. According to common sense, after my father died, the throne was inherited by my eldest brother.

But my father said, the throne will be mine from now on.

The brothers all agreed with this decision.

In this way, when I grow up, I will become the first queen of Daxia.

It sounds very impressive.

Oh, by the way, my mother is a fox spirit and my sister-in-law is a rabbit spirit.

Sure enough, the women in our family are not simple.

…

"Baby, you should go to school today."

After hearing this "tightening curse", I immediately hid in the closet.

My mother always made me go to school and recite it dozens of times a day, just like Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", the most famous storybook in the capital.

They are all equally long-winded.

I covered my ears and pretended not to hear my mother calling me.

With a creaky sound, the closet door was opened.

My mother and I stared at each other.

My mother sneered and grabbed my ear.

"Dragon Baby, do you think I can't find you if you hide? With your limited skills, you dare to play tricks on me?"

"Mother, please don't always say things that hurt others. Lord Qu said that when educating children, we should encourage more and criticize less." I shook my head and repeated Lord Qu's words.

Lord Qu Fufeng is the most powerful official in Daxia.

Everyone was convinced by what he said.

His famous sayings would be copied down and compiled into books.

I've heard a little bit about it.

I didn't remember anything else, but I remembered the chapter about how parents should educate their children - a filial son cannot be born under the stick, so give children more loving encouragement.

Good children are praised, not scolded.

The mother smiled.

I felt like she was laughing because I made her laugh.

Sure enough, the ear that was in my mother's hand hurt even more.

"It hurts, it hurts, mother, I know I was wrong."

"You little girl, all you do is teach me a lesson with Qu Fufeng's sour words every day. Are you the mother or am I the mother?"

My mother grabbed my ears and pulled me out.

As soon as I looked in that direction, I knew that my mother was determined to send me to school today.

But I hated school.

School is not fun at all. Every day is just boring learning to read and memorize. It would be better to stay at home and learn archery from my father and learn football from my brothers.

"Mother, is it necessary for me to study this?" I struggled desperately.

"If you don't go to school today, I will throw you out of the palace. Let's see how long you can be stubborn." The mother's voice sounded cold.

Hearing this, I was shocked and immediately rushed over and hugged my mother's thighs tightly.

"Mother, I was wrong. Please don't throw me out of the palace. Wuwuwuwu. I will be obedient in the future."

"Help me, big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, please come and save me."

I pretended to cry and called for my brothers to save me.

After calling all nine brothers, I feel a little thirsty.

Alas, having too many brothers is also a sweet trouble.

"Dragon! Treasure! Pearl!" The sound of the mother's gnashing teeth came from above her head.

It’s over, my mother called me by my full name.

Now she was really angry.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, help me..."

I shouted it again at the top of my lungs, and this time I really cried.

If my brothers don’t come, my butt will be broken today.

Fortunately, my elder brother arrived as soon as I finished speaking.

He took me away from my mother with a smile.

"Mother, calm down. Don't bother with the baby. She is still young, only five years old. What does she know?"

"That's why you have to go to school because you don't understand." Mother scolded the eldest brother with a stern face.

"Don't be angry, mother. I definitely didn't mean to make you angry." The second brother also came.

I nodded my head like crazy.

Of course I didn't mean to upset my mother, I just simply didn't want to go to school.

"That's right, mother. The baby still has a long time to study. He is still young now, so he should spend more time with us in the palace." The third brother added.

When I heard this, my eyes went dark.

It’s over. How long is it going to take?

Do I have to read books all my life?

I thought about it and realized that my elder brother is already in his twenties and still needs to study.

I felt dizzy for a moment.

"Yes, once she gets married and leaves the palace, it will be difficult for you to see her. By then, you might regret not letting her spend more time with you when she was a child." Fourth brother also pleaded for me.

Get married?

My eyes lit up.

Does getting married mean you don't have to study anymore?

But I am only five years old. I heard that girls can only get married at the age of fifteen, so it will take another ten years.

I began to feel despair again.

Soon, the remaining brothers who stayed in the mansion all came.

Without exception, they all came to plead for me and to comfort my mother.

"Just spoil her. If she can't read or write in the future and is laughed at by others, I'll see what you will do." The mother stamped her feet in anger and turned away.

"Long Wudi, look at the good sons and daughters you have raised!"

Looking at the direction my mother left, I could still hear her powerful words.

I knew that it was my father's turn to suffer.
