"Stop the car!" That was Su Peisheng's voice.
"Xuan'er, come out!"
That's my voice! Although it was somewhat suppressed and a little faint, she still recognized it clearly thanks to her exceptional hearing and the fact that the distance wasn't far, it was quite close.
She wasn't hallucinating!
At this moment, the carriage she was in also stopped.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jiaming, who had already realized what was happening, rushed to the window, lifted the curtain, and saw many guards surrounding the back of her carriage.
Immediately afterwards, they saw princes and noblemen riding over in twos and threes.
Just by looking at this scene, she knew that something must have happened. Moreover, judging from the shouts the master made just now, it was clearly related to Xuan'er!
She craned her neck to look to her side and back, and only then did she realize that her master was standing next to a carriage.
The Fourth Master's face was dark, as if he was barely suppressing his anger. His dark eyes were fixed on the carriage carrying luggage in front of him.
Several breaths passed, and there was still no sound coming from inside the carriage.
Seeing that Hongxuan ignored him, the Fourth Prince became even angrier, his clenched hands tightened even more, and his fingers began to turn white.
"Hongxuan, I know you're in there, come out quickly." He was once again told to come out on his own.
This time, he didn't suppress his voice, because those who needed to know already knew, and those who wanted to see the excitement had already come, so there was no need to continue to cover it up.
On the clothes scattered in the chest inside the carriage, little Hongxuan covered his ears with his two small hands, closed his eyes, and lay on his back, as if he hadn't heard or even wanted to hear the sounds outside.
This behavior only fueled the Fourth Prince's anger further; it was blatant disregard for his father.
Feeling humiliated, and then catching a glimpse of his brothers out of the corner of his eye, only added fuel to the fire.
He didn't give Hongxuan a third chance to come out on his own, but instead turned to Su Peisheng and ordered, "Go, drag him out."
"Yes, sir." Although Su Peisheng responded, he dared not actually carry out the Fourth Prince's order to bring out the Fourth Prince.
That's the master's young master; you must treat him with respect.
With this purpose in mind, Su Peisheng climbed into the carriage and caught the Fourth Prince red-handed, who was covering his ears and eyes.
He picked up the Fourth Prince and got off the carriage, then walked directly toward the Fourth Prince.
Little Hongxuan was so stubborn, of course she wouldn't give in easily, and struggled with all her might the whole way. But Su Peisheng still held her tightly.
"Master, the little prince has been brought here." Su Peisheng had just finished saying this when he immediately felt his arms go empty.
Indeed, Fourth Master picked up Xiao Hongxuan, then wrapped one arm around him and slammed the other hand down on the little guy's bottom with lightning speed.
Three loud slaps were heard, and the little guy got a spanking!
The Fourth Master's strike immediately drew the attention of many onlookers.
"Fourth brother."
Fourth Brother.
...The princes and noblemen who were watching the spectacle all spoke up to stop them.
The first to speak was the Third Prince, who, as a self-proclaimed scholar, looked down on the method of disciplining children by beating them.
That's the behavior of barbarians. A person of propriety should educate the young prince in the same way, prioritizing reason.
Father Emperor never really beat them, and now all his brothers are doing very well.
But they forgot that Kangxi rarely beat them, or rather, he never did. As the emperor, he didn't need to do it himself; others would take the exams for him, such as the tutors he sent to teach them, or even other people.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince advised, "Fourth Prince, your nephew is still young and doesn't understand. Don't hit him!"
“Exactly,” Tenth Brother chimed in, “He’s so tiny, he can’t take much damage. What if we hurt him?” Then he muttered under his breath, “Fourth Brother, you don’t care, but I do!”
Fourth Master snorted irritably, thinking to himself: I haven't even hit him hard yet, what's there to be reluctant about?!
Even if I really hit him, so what? He's my father's brother. A father disciplines his son, so hitting him is only natural.
However, after this beating, Fourth Master's anger subsided somewhat.
But that didn't mean he would change his mind. He shoved Xiao Hongxuan back into Su Peisheng's arms and said, "Send him back."
Jiaming, who was in a carriage not far away, moved her lips as if she wanted to suggest that Fourth Master keep Hongxuan.
But her online rationality told her that it was best not to do that.
The man is in charge of external affairs, and the woman is in charge of internal affairs. Besides, she was just a concubine. She had no right to object to the Fourth Prince's decision.
Before Su Peisheng could even receive the order, Xiao Hongxuan, who had just been placed in Su Peisheng's arms, struggled out of his embrace.
Su Peisheng was already slightly bent over, preparing to bow to the Fourth Master, but he made it easier for the little guy. As soon as he was out of his arms, the little guy slid off him in a flash.
The movement was performed in one smooth motion, leaving everyone who watched momentarily stunned.
With the little guy's firm "No!" in his baby voice, he grabbed Fourth Master's leg and woke up the rest of the people who were still in a daze.
"You have no choice!" Fourth Master bent down and forcefully pulled away Xiao Hongxuan, who was clinging to his leg.
Little Hongxuan, who had been pulled away, was very unhappy and his little face tightened. "No, I won't go back." This time, he didn't deliberately imitate, but he looked very much like the angry Fourth Prince. It should be said that he was a smaller version of the angry Fourth Prince.
Fourth Master continued to pull Xiao Hongxuan to stand directly in front of him, then released his grip on the other's hand, staring at him intently, preparing to reprimand him: "You..."
Suddenly, Fourth Master felt a small black shadow rushing towards him. He instinctively wanted to back away, but then realized in the next instant that it was Xuan'er rushing towards him, so he immediately stopped his retreat.
Hongtao, who had just witnessed this scene through the carriage window, immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master!"
