Chapter 32 Little Tyrant Fifth Brother
People around him tried to persuade him, but he flung them aside with his sleeve and shouted, "Get out of my way, all of you! What I want, I will get!"
He's all bared teeth and grinning, as unruly as can be, just like the stupid son of a nouveau riche!
Sheng Sheng found this fifth prince quite interesting and stood under the shade of the tree watching him for a while.
Xie Yunqi was only eight years old and not even half the height of that tree. Even with a long stick, he couldn't reach the beehive on the branch.
The eunuchs and maids around him were afraid that he would really disturb the beehive and cause the bees inside to come out and sting him, so they all tried to dissuade him with pained expressions.
"Your Highness, let's go. Her Majesty is waiting for you!"
"Your Highness, the stings of wild bees are extremely vicious. Be careful not to get stung!"
"Yes, Your Highness, it's dangerous to leave this beehive here. We've already reported it to the Imperial Household Department, and they'll be dealing with it soon. Why don't you wait until they've taken it down and dealt with it before we go and retrieve it?"
The people around him tried hard to persuade him, each offering their own advice.
The little tyrant put his left hand on his hip, vigorously wiped his nose with his right hand, and revealed a triumphant smile: "What's the point of that?"
Xiao Bawang's personal eunuch, Xiao Quanzi, was so anxious he was almost crying. Several bees had already flown out of the beehive and were circling around it, seemingly guarding the honey inside. They were ready to fly over and sting Xie Yunqi to death the moment he touched the beehive.
If he really gets involved, he'll sting everyone to death when he comes out!
Although bees are not as venomous as wasps, no one wants to get stung and end up with a black eye and a swollen face.
Xiao Quanzi clasped his hands together and bowed to him, saying, "Oh, Your Highness, I beg you, please don't provoke these bees, okay?"
Xie Yunqi wouldn't listen. The more these people tried to stop him, the more he wanted to personally knock down that beehive.
The little tyrant angrily said, "Hmph, a bunch of cowards. None of you are allowed to stop me! I'm going to poke this thing down! Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll spank their ass!"
The crowd was at a loss, afraid of hurting him, yet not daring to stop him, caught in a dilemma.
The sound was breathtaking; the Fifth Prince was truly amazing—
Lively and mischievous!
Sheng Sheng asked Zi Juan, "Has Fifth Brother always been this lively?"
Zijuan disagreed with the word "lively" and whispered, "Princess, this fifth prince is the youngest of all the princes, and also the most unruly. Everyone says he's the little tyrant of the palace!"
Sheng Sheng wholeheartedly agreed, indeed a tyrant. Look at all those gold threads all over his body, and that golden crown on his head; it makes people afraid to get close.
Xie Yunqi couldn't reach it even if he jumped, so he waved and called Xiao Quanzi over. He flipped over and straddled Xiao Quanzi, which made him much taller, and he could easily poke the beehive.
The little tyrant was delighted and thrust even harder: "Hey, little Quanzi, move forward, I've got it!"
Xiao Quanzi moved with a long face as he followed his instructions, his face full of willingness.
However, although he could reach it, no matter how Xie Yunqi poked the beehive with his long stick, it remained firmly attached to the treetop and showed no sign of coming down.
The little tyrant got angry: "Little Quanzi, what's the meaning of this beehive? Why don't you come down?"
Xiao Quanzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, since that's the case, how about we just forget about it?"
"I... refuse." The little tyrant narrowed his eyes, making a move to deliver a powerful blow to the honeycomb.
"You can't get it down like that."
Xie Yunqi paused, looked around, but saw nothing: "Who's talking?"
She sighed. Why did her little brother seem a bit dim-witted?
He said repeatedly, "Look down there."
Xie Yunqi thought for a moment before realizing that he was currently riding on Xiao Quanzi's back, with everyone below him, so there was no one at eye level.
Xie Yunqi looked down and saw a small, pale yellow ball of fluff waving happily at him.
The little dumpling is fair and tender, with two dimples on her round face when she smiles, and pretty ribbons tied to her two little pigtails.
The ribbon in the bow was pale yellow, matching her pale yellow dress.
The little dumpling waved and greeted him, the ribbon on her little pigtail fluttering: "Hello, brother~"
Xie Yunqi was startled, and his hand lost its balance, causing the stick he was holding to fall to the ground.
"Oh, what a cute little sister..."
Sheng Sheng smiled at him again.
Little Tyrant blushed, and for a moment forgot what he was supposed to do as he rode on Little Quanzi's head.
"Greetings, Second Princess."
A group of eunuchs and palace maids bowed and greeted the Little Tyrant, who then realized that the little dumpling in front of him was his sister who had just returned to the palace.
"You are Xie Yunsheng?"
"Mmm." Sheng Sheng squatted down and picked up the stick. "Brother, you're not poking it right like that. You have to poke the part where the beehive connects to the branch. That's the vulnerable part, and you can poke it off easily."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xie Yunqi was a little skeptical. This little dumpling looked delicate and was even younger than him. How could she know how to stir up a beehive?
Xie Yunqi looked at the beehive, then at the little dumpling.
She laughed sincerely, and her big, watery eyes blinked when he looked over.
Xie Yunqi blushed again.
Never mind, my little sister is so cute, whatever she says is right!
Xie Yunqi coughed twice, feigning reluctance, and said arrogantly, "Ahem, since that's the case, then this prince will give it a try. If you dare to lie to me, I'll—"
"What do you mean, 'what'?" Sheng Sheng tilted her head.
Xie Yunqi choked, originally intending to say that if they dared to lie to him, he would throw the little dumpling up like a sandbag and smash the beehive down.
But the little dumpling's eyes were bright and sparkling, as if there was a pool of spring water flowing in them, making it incredibly cute no matter how you looked at it.
Xie Yunqi inexplicably found himself unable to utter any harsh words.
"Cough, it's nothing, just give me the stick."
"oh."
She obediently handed him the stick.
Xie Yunqi aimed the stick at the base of the honeycomb this time, and Xiao Quanzi cried even harder.
Originally, it was thought that the Second Princess could persuade His Highness, but the Second Princess was not only unafraid, she also taught him how to stir up a beehive.
So, a honeycomb has to be made of a bucket?
A group of palace servants trembled, wanting to run away but also having to protect their master.
Seeing Xie Yunqi poised to attack, Zijuan quickly said, "Princess, let's go further away. If this beehive really falls down, the bee stings will hurt a lot!"
Princess is so cute, we can't let her get stung by two big welts!
She waved her hand dismissively, not flustered at all: "It's okay, it's okay."
Sheng Sheng leaned closer and even began instructing Xie Yunqi on the angle: "That's right, brother, that's it. Tilt the stick a little more; it's easier to exert force when it's tilted!"
Xie Yunqi subconsciously adjusted the angle of the stick as she suggested: "Like this? Should we tilt it even more?"
"Sheng Sheng, take a look." Sheng Sheng looked at it carefully. "Okay, that's fine."
"Alright, then watch closely. Once I poke this thing down, I'll give you half the honey!"
