Chapter 498: Dragon Orb (Part 2)

"Baby, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Your brothers are here. Who dares to laugh at you?"

"Yes, it's not that we don't want to learn, we will learn later. Now we are still young, so we can play if we want."

Seeing that I was unhappy, my brothers took turns to comfort me.

In fact, I don't care whether others will laugh at me for not being able to read a single word.

I'm just worried about my father.

After all, my mother was very angry just now and my father was in danger.

Sure enough, that night, my father was driven out of my mother's courtyard.

He didn't dare to rest with his concubines.

He came to see me.

"Baby, your father treats you very well, right?"

Looking at his expectant eyes, I couldn't say anything to object, so I nodded.

"My father treats me very well."

Apart from my nine brothers, my father is the best person to me.

"Then can you go to school for your father's sake?" My father looked at me aggrievedly.

I was about to refuse when my father started wiping away his tears.

"Your mother said that whenever you go to school, you can let me into her room. Baby, you don't want your father to be alone in an empty nest at his age, do you?"

I was a little confused: "Father, what does it mean to be alone in an empty nest?"

My father seemed to choke.

"Baby, your mother is right. At our age, it's time for us to go to school. Our Queen also started to learn to read at the age of three. When she was five, she could already recognize several thousand words."

He brought up Her Majesty the Queen in an attempt to persuade me.

"Father, Lord Qu once said that we shouldn't always compare children. Her Majesty is powerful, so she can be the queen. I'm not the queen, so I don't need to be that powerful." I found a perfect excuse for myself.

"Look, I never compare you with other people's fathers. In my heart, even if my father can't read a word, he is still my best father. Does it mean that if I don't go to school, I am no longer your treasure, the apple of your eye?"

My father seemed to choke again.

"Qu Fufeng, what nonsense are you talking about all day long? You are corrupting my good daughter."

I heard him seem to be cursing Master Qu in a low voice.

I was immediately unhappy.

Mr. Qu is so nice, he always says wise words and he knows how to educate children.

"Father, you can't say that about Lord Qu. Lord Qu is very powerful." I stared at my father seriously.

The father sighed, seeming helpless.

"Father knows about this and won't force you to go to school."

Hearing this, I jumped three feet high with joy.

Unexpectedly, the next day, my father actually invited Lord Qu.

I admire Lord Qu very much, and I want to know what my father and Lord Qu are talking about.

"Master Qu, how long do you think I can continue to deceive you?"

When I heard my father say this, I was filled with doubts.

What did my father lie to me about?

I trusted him so much.

"It doesn't matter. The little princess is still young and won't know the truth." Lord Qu waved his hand.

I became more and more curious, what is the truth?

"That's good. The academy's admission quota is so tight that I gave the opportunity that belonged to my baby to someone else, so that others can go to school. You must remember to ask for credit from His Majesty on my behalf." The father sighed.

Lord Qu patted his father on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty must have remembered your contribution. After all, so many ministers have children, and it would be inappropriate to prevent any of their children from attending the Royal Academy. You took the initiative to share His Majesty's worries, so His Majesty will naturally remember your contribution."

"That's good. You don't know how much effort the king and the princess have put in to prevent the baby from going to school. The princess deliberately forced her to go to school, which aroused her rebellious heart, so she stayed at home." The father smiled.

"This child doesn't know yet that you can't just go to the academy whenever you want. You can only go five days a week, and the other two days, you can't go even if you want to."

Lord Qu heard what his father said and nodded: "Yes, you don't know how much my little daughter loves to go to the academy. The academy has a slide, a seesaw, and a swing. His Majesty also sends people to deliver delicious snacks to the academy every week. She wants to live in the academy every day, and I can't persuade her."

I was so surprised when I heard their conversation.

Is the academy really so fun?

I was only gone for half a day and came back crying and making a fuss.

My brothers couldn’t bear it when they heard me crying, so they took me away early. I had no idea that there were so many fun things in the academy.

I remember the snacks in the palace were delicious.

No, how can father make the decision for me and not let me go to school?

If others can go, I want to go too.

Just for the palace snacks, I have to go.

"Father, I want to go to school!" I couldn't control my emotions for a moment and rushed out.

The father was shocked.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go?"

"I want to go, I just want to go!" I threw myself into my father's arms and acted coquettishly to him.

"If others can go, why can't I? Didn't you say that I am the only queen of Daxia? Can't you even meet this small request?"

I was so focused on begging my father that I didn't notice Lord Qu laughing at the side.

My father looked at Lord Qu with an embarrassed expression.

"Master Qu, can you help me persuade the baby? Don't be impatient. Let her go to school in two years. She is still young anyway."

"I don't want to listen, you bastard. Lord Qu's own daughter has gone to school, why can't you let me go?" I pulled my father's sleeve and complained. If he didn't agree, I was going to lie on the ground and roll around.

Fortunately, Mr. Qu agreed to my request.

"Don't worry, little princess. I will ask His Majesty to grant you a special place. But you can't say you want to go and then not go. Can you do it?" Lord Qu looked at me with a serious expression.

"Of course our baby can do it. Our baby is the first queen of Da Xia. Right?" My father looked down at me.

I always felt that something was odd, but now that it was released, I certainly couldn't say no in front of Mr. Qu, whom I admired.

So I nodded, held my head high and said, "I can do it. I will study hard."

With my guarantee, Lord Qu left.

For the next few days, there was no news. I was extremely anxious and asked my father every day when I could go to school.

My father told me that my place in school had been taken by someone else and I couldn’t go to school.

After waiting for more than ten days, Lord Qu finally went to the palace to deliver the good news.

I can finally go to school.

My whole family came out to send me to the academy. This was the first time such a grand event happened in the capital.

I have many brothers and everyone is jealous of me.

No one in the academy dared to bully me.

After all, I am the first queen of Daxia.

Several years later, after I had read more books and understood more about things, I realized that the conversation that afternoon was a conspiracy between my father and Lord Qu to deceive me, just to make me take the initiative to ask to go to school.

Humph, Lord Qu, this fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually teamed up with my father to bully a child like me. It’s really too much.

I don't want to worship him anymore.

Because I have a new object of worship, that is Her Majesty the Queen.
