Chapter 133 Receive Punishment
"don't want!"
"I don't want to shave my hair! My sisters will laugh at me!"
When Xiao Tangbao looked back, he was shocked to see a lady crying and insisting on shaving a young lady's head?
She rushed forward with her short legs and blocked her beautiful sister behind her.
The little guy looked up at the lady pitifully, and pleaded for his sister in a trembling voice: "Don't shave your head. Braids look good. Girls don't shave their heads~"
The young lady cried and wiped her tears, "Your Highness, do you think I want to shave my daughter's head? Didn't the ladies over there come and tell me that since the young ladies are following the young masters' example and showing their faces in school, we must be fair and treat them equally..."
"Enough!" Prince Qing was furious. "I'm here to deal with the problem, not to watch you discipline the child!"
"Why don't you take good care of the little girl and shave her head? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Everyone immediately fell silent, standing quietly with their heads hung.
In the huge school, the only sounds were the children's sobbing and sniffling.
Prince Qing looked at Ouyang Boshan with a sullen look in his eyes. "You insisted on looking for me. Now that I'm here and have learned everything about the children, do you have anything else to ask?"
"..." Ouyang Boshan hesitated a bit, but thinking of his responsibilities, he had to force himself to stay alert: "Your Highness, even if there is a reason, it is wrong for the little princess to hit others and skip school..."
Prince Qing lowered his eyes, beads of sweat occasionally dripping from his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go on!"
"..." With cold sweat dripping down his face, Ouyang Boshan felt as if a thorn was thorned in his back. He replied with a stiff upper lip, "Your Highness, according to the rules of the Hongwen Academy, anyone who fights must be flogged ten times as a punishment!"
"..." Yun Che suddenly raised his head, a scarlet color already visible in his eyes.
Ouyang Boshan's face turned pale, and he immediately changed the subject, "However, considering that Princess Zhaoning is a first-time offender and hasn't had time to learn the academy's rules, ignorance is not a crime, so the flogging can be waived this time."
The masters of each college still have great power...
However, the prerequisite for punishing the children of royal relatives and important ministers is that their parents allow the teachers to corporally punish the students.
Since His Royal Highness Prince Qing is so against slapping the hands, Princess Zhaoning will not be beaten every day in Hongwenguan from now on!
Whenever there is an urgent matter, they just go to the little princess's parents.
At this moment, Ouyang Boshan had no idea that after Xiao Tangbao officially started school, he would live a life of frequent verbal battles with civil officials, disguised threats from military officers, and even being annoyed by all kinds of small animals.
Xiao Tangbao asks for leave every day, like a dragon that is hard to find!
Whenever she got into trouble, half of the court would be empty—all to support her!
Ouyang Boshan glanced at the young doctors and teaching assistants in the room, wondering if he should try to establish rules, or else he wouldn't drive his subordinates to death.
He mustered up his courage and continued, "As for your Highness the Princess's truancy, you should copy the law ten times."
Fearing that he would displease Prince Qing again and also wanting to shut his highness Prince Qing's mouth, Ouyang Boshan quickly turned around and looked at the male classmates who bullied Xiao Tangbao.
"You guys were the first to bully your classmates, which is a serious offense! Go home and copy the rules fifty times. You can return to school when you've finished!"
ha? ? ?
The children were stunned immediately...
Copy the law fifty times?
That version of the law had more than three hundred words!
The owner might as well slap them on the hands!
Xiao Tangbao was also worried. She could only read but not write many of the words in the law, so it must be very slow for her to copy them!
She really doesn't have time now. She has accumulated a lot of merit points. She has to draw talismans and learn spells from Xifu!
Besides, she has only fulfilled the maid ghost's wish, and she still has many problems to solve!
For example, she saved her brother Yi An who was imprisoned in the clan residence, helped her third uncle to snatch a wife, and she also promised Concubine Li that she would visit her third aunt...
Although the little girl had forgotten that her most important thing at the moment was to raise money, she had signed a guarantee document, promising to donate 500,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of Works...but the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the more she collapsed.
"Master, Tang Bao can't write big characters, and Tang Bao doesn't have time. Tang Bao has so many things to do!"
There were tears in the little guy's eyes and his voice was trembling.
!!!
Is the little princess going to cry?
Ouyang Boshan's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing that Prince Qing's expression was as ugly as before, he thought to himself, since His Royal Highness Prince Qing was not even more angry, he must have agreed to punish the little princess in this way!
Not bad...very good!
Although he dotes on her, he does it in moderation. Plus, the little princess is extremely smart and clever, and she will definitely have a great future!
He calmed down a little, and when he went to see Tang Bao again, he suddenly felt that his headache was not as painful.
"It doesn't matter if you can't read. My princess is just copying. You have to copy the laws for me!"
"but……"
"Considering that the princess is hosting a banquet tonight to welcome all the ministers, I will only punish her by making her copy the law once this time. If it happens again, the punishment will not only be copying the law, but also memorizing it!"
The little guy's eyes lit up. Memorizing things is good. Tangbao is the fastest at memorizing things. Father Xi always praises Tangbao for being different from ordinary people and calling him a genius!
"I'll carry it on my back! By then, I will not only be able to carry it upright, but I can also carry it backwards!"
???
It had been many years since a child challenged him, and Ouyang Boshan immediately got angry.
He turned his back to Prince Qing and glared at Xiao Tangbao angrily: "Princess Zhaoning is already thinking about how to recite the rules next time? Hasn't the princess ever thought about not making the same mistake again next time?!"
Tang Bao sniffed and said nothing.
It's impossible for her to stop making mistakes. She has a lot of unresolved issues. Where would she find the time if she doesn't skip school?
well!
Tang Bao is so pitiful...
Oh!
Tang Bao is also helpless...
A few steps away, Yun Che had a splitting headache and severe abdominal cramps, and his condition was getting worse and worse.
Not wanting to faint in front of the little boy, he stood up, carried Tang Bao on his back, and walked out. "Can you please ask the owner to take a leave for Tang Bao and come back for class in three days!"
"???" Three, three days? The little girl's eyes lit up again, thinking that her daddy still understood her!
She was so happy that she lay on her father's shoulder and waved to the other children vigorously: "Goodbye, classmates! We share happiness and difficulties together... It's an honor to be bald. In three days, Tang Bao will treat everyone to a good time!"
Ouyang Boshan: "..."
What the hell is it going to be three days later?
The emperor asked him to keep a close eye on the little princess... She refused to go to school for three days in a row. How could he, how could he explain this to the emperor?
Master Ouyang was so angry that he could only inhale and not exhale, and in the blink of an eye he almost suffocated himself!
"It's an honor to be bald... Hahahaha, I love Princess Zhaoning so much!"
"Me too! She even said she'd treat us to something delicious. Let's elect her as the headmaster!"
“…”
Ouyang Boshan: “……?”
-`(◣◢)`
Did he hear it wrongly because he was hard of hearing? These wealthy people were talking about who they wanted to elect as the head of the hall?
This is outrageous... Who is making such nonsense?
It’s not enough to just become bald together, do we have to skip school together?
He couldn't imagine how the old man in Chongwenguan would laugh at him when he met him again!
It’s really... so abominable!
Having served as an official in the court for decades, Ouyang Boshan had never been so angry.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the students who loved to bully others the most.
"Look, look! Because of you, this wonderful school has become such a mess! If you continue to cause trouble instead of studying, I will go to the palace and ask for permission to expel you from the Hongwen Academy!"
"It's your afternoon off. Clean up the school before you leave. Don't leave even a hair behind. Do you understand?"
After saying this, he completely ignored the parents in the room and walked away.
It was not known whether he turned around too quickly or was stimulated by seeing the room full of little bald heads, but Ouyang Boshan had just taken two steps when his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Master!?"
…
As soon as the group walked out of the courtyard of the Junior Academy, they heard the voice of Eunuch Pei An delivering an imperial decree. Prince Qing, who was holding little Tangbao, stopped immediately.
The little fellow pricked up his ears to listen, but when he found that he couldn't hear clearly, he twisted his body and got off the ground.
Relying on her small size, she tiptoed to the back of the rockery in the small garden... Little did she know that everyone was pretending not to see her.
Be naughty if you want! Being naughty means the little princess is lively and healthy!
As long as the little princess can appear under their noses, anything is fine!
Tang Bao quickly glanced at the people kneeling and saw Sister Chuntai at a glance.
Kneeling diagonally in front of her was the old lady of the Zhao family. There was a lot of blood on her body, and she must have been beaten. A pair of luxuriously dressed men and women were kneeling beside her, and no one knew who they were.
Eunuch Pei An read a long passage according to the imperial edict.
To Xiao Tangbao, the general meaning was that the emperor ordered the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to discipline his children well and restrain his elders, and that the entire Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery family would move to the border and never be allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
After the man beside Old Madam Zhao received the decree and expressed his gratitude while trembling, Old Madam Zhao collapsed and fainted. A group of people hurriedly carried her onto a long wooden board.
There was only one noble lady who didn't even bother to look at Old Madam Zhao. She stood straight in the garden and looked around for a while, then ran towards Lu Wanwan and Lu Ziang who appeared out of nowhere.
The distance was too far, so Xiao Tangbao didn't hear what the noble lady said. She just saw her beating and kicking Lu Wanwan and Lu Ziang so badly that she felt pain just watching them!
The old woman who was traveling with Lu Wanwan went up to stop her, but she kicked her to the ground and she didn't get up for a long time.
Wow……
That aunt is so scary!
Little Tangbao shuddered and tried to slip away. As soon as he turned around, he was picked up by someone. "Help..."
