"I don't want to! I just don't want to stay here!"
Upon hearing Li Chang'an say that he was just fooling around, Li Changsheng immediately started using the same old trick again, shouting "No!" while holding Li Chang'an tightly and refusing to let go.
This is the first time this kid has ever been so close to me!
Unfortunately, Li Chang'an remained unmoved, knowing that the child had ulterior motives for clinging to her like this.
The thought that this little genius was so cunning at such a young age made Li Chang'an feel worried and he sighed, so his attitude became even tougher.
"Alright, alright, stop causing trouble for your sister. Stay obediently in the military camp, and I'll take you to play Cuju (ancient Chinese football) later."
Ye Lingxiao, of course, was unaware of the trickery involved. He thought that Li Changsheng was acting this way because he was too attached to Li Chang'an and couldn't bear to see her leave, so he patiently tried to persuade him from the side.
Upon hearing that he could play his favorite game of Cuju, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up immediately. Unfortunately, that was only for a moment. As soon as he thought that he could get away from this awful place, what did Cuju matter?
"No, you big bad guy!"
Li Changsheng turned his face away without any politeness.
"Tsk, who taught you to talk to people like that!"
Li Chang'an immediately flew into a rage. She was already annoyed by this brat's constant pestering, and his words just now undoubtedly became the fuse for her outburst.
After saying that, Li Chang'an raised his hand and forcefully pulled Li Changsheng's arm away, then squatted down and put him on the ground.
Upon seeing the woman's somber expression, Li Changsheng immediately shut his mouth, inwardly regretting that he had spoken carelessly.
Li Changsheng was so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Chang'an's face. He knew how terrifying this man could be when he got angry, otherwise he wouldn't have been forcibly dragged here to suffer.
"Never mind, the child is just ignorant and doesn't know how to speak properly."
Ye Lingxiao tried to smooth things over. Although he felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Li Changsheng's words, he ultimately felt that there was no need for him to get angry with a child.
But Li Chang'an didn't think so. If the child developed bad character from a young age, it would be difficult to change him later. She didn't want the future of Sheng Nan Kingdom to have an emperor who couldn't even speak properly, even after she had tried to discipline him.
"No, we can't spoil him like this!"
Li Chang'an frowned as he glanced at Ye Lingxiao, then turned to Li Changsheng, who was practically bowing his head to the ground: "Do you know what mistake you made?"
"I...I know I was wrong..."
Li Changsheng mumbled as he tugged at the hem of his clothes, and then golden beans began to fall continuously, hitting the ground and turning into small splashes of water.
"Don't cry!"
Li Chang'an immediately reprimanded him sternly, one hand on his hip and his eyes fixed on the teary-eyed Li Changsheng.
She now completely understood the brat's methods: crying and making a scene, and if that didn't work, he would use both. In short, she would absolutely not tolerate such unreasonable behavior.
Because he was scared, Li Changsheng didn't dare to cry out loud. He wanted to stop crying, but he couldn't control the tears from falling. He could only purse his lips tightly and sob softly, and his whole body trembled.
"Raise your head and apologize to General Ye right now!"
Li Chang'an didn't care how wronged the boy was. She looked down at Li Changsheng, who was sobbing, with a commanding tone, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Li Changsheng felt very aggrieved. In the past, when he was in the palace, everyone indulged him and did as he pleased. He had never suffered such grievances before, and now he actually had to apologize to others!
What a joke! You're the one who always has to apologize to others!
"I, the Crown Prince, do not need to apologize! I am the Crown Prince!"
Children are children after all, and they can't control their emotions like adults. Li Changsheng got angrier and angrier, and finally exploded.
Moreover, he remembered that his mother had said the same thing, and everyone around him was instilling in him the idea that he was the Crown Prince, the future emperor of Sheng Nan Kingdom who could control everything, and that everyone except his father and mother had to bow down to him.
Even if he did something wrong, it's someone else's problem, and only others can ask him for forgiveness.
I remember when Li Changsheng was five years old, a little palace maid pushed him on a swing. He fell off the swing because he didn't hold on properly.
Fortunately, the little palace maid didn't push too hard, so the person wasn't injured but was just a little frightened. However, when his mother found out, she was furious and summoned the little palace maid, giving her dozens of lashes before throwing her into the torture chamber.
To this day, Li Changsheng still remembers the palace maid's screams when she was beaten. At that time, he even pulled his mother to plead for the little palace maid, explaining that she had fallen because she hadn't held on tight enough.
However, Zhao Ruyue disregarded this and instilled those absurd ideas in him, which had a great impact on Li Changsheng's young inner world. Coupled with his long-term pampering, this led to the child developing a spoiled and domineering personality.
Even under these circumstances, Li Changsheng still harbors a sense of superiority. He can temporarily bow his head, and even his recent statement that he has realized his mistake is merely to appease Li Chang'an and allow him to leave the military camp.
But if he were to bow his head and apologize to someone else, especially to a scoundrel like Ye Lingxiao, Li Changsheng would absolutely refuse.
Ever since yesterday, when Ye Lingxiao got angry and gave him a good scolding, Li Changsheng secretly vowed to find an opportunity to kill this guy and vent his anger, which would also help the Regent get rid of a rival in love.
"Say that again? Who taught you all this?!"
Li Chang'an was so angry that she grabbed Li Changsheng, lifted him up, and slapped him hard across the buttocks.
The slap made Li Chang'an's own palm ache.
"Wow……"
Li Changsheng immediately burst into tears, struggling as he cried. He felt numbness and pain in his buttocks, and almost lost consciousness.
This was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. When Li Chang'an saw that this brat actually wanted to resist, he reached out to hit him again, but was stopped by both hands at the same time.
Looking up, he saw Ye Lingxiao and Feng Beichuan, who had arrived at some point, each holding one of his hands, which was about to slap him.
"open!"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow and gave a cold command.
His tone was filled with an irresistible anger.
"Children in Chang'an should be taught patiently when they make mistakes, but they shouldn't resort to violence."
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Danfeng Beichuan still wanted to persuade the woman, as a small way of making amends to Li Changsheng.
