Chapter 997 Chapter 997, mediating
The temperature in Liangdu was still hot at the end of July. Daozi, Xiao Moqing and others stood in the yard under the sun for a while, and sweat began to seep out of their foreheads.
The afternoon sun did not hurt anyone, and the rice flowers were not in a hurry at all. They drank the porridge slowly and then ate the cakes, as if they had forgotten about the rice in the yard.
At the beginning, Daozi and Xiao Moqing were still humming, but as time passed, their arrogance gradually weakened.
The yard gradually became quiet.
Daohua waited until Daozi and Xiao Moqing were both listless before she spoke up: "Tell me, what's going on? Who's going first?"
Xiao Moqing wanted to complain immediately, but when he saw Daohua's face without a smile, he was still a little scared. After thinking about it, he looked at Daozi.
At this moment, the rice had realized that the rice flowers were angry, so it shrank its neck and did not say a word.
When Xiao Morong saw this, he took a step forward to plead for mercy, but Daohua stopped him by raising her hand.
Daohua looked at her son, who had a cut on the corner of his mouth, then at Xiao Moqing, whose cheekbone was red and swollen, and asked with a smile, "Why, you two only dare to fight and not admit it?"
Daozi mustered up her courage and glared at Xiao Moqing angrily: "Mom, it was Brother Qi who stole my scooter first."
Xiao Moqing quickly retorted, "You're the one who didn't keep your word. We clearly agreed that if I won the rock-paper-scissors game, you'd give me the scooter to play with back at the An Mansion."
Daozi: "I didn't stop you from playing, I just wanted you to wait a day, but you couldn't wait any longer and came to grab it. I don't like you anymore."
Xiao Moqing snorted: "As if I like you very much!"
"snort!"
The two of them snorted at each other, then turned their heads in opposite directions.
Daohua looked at the two of them. The servants had already come to tell her what had happened.
Xiao Moqing was a bit overbearing and would try to grab things whenever he was not satisfied. However, this time it was Daozi who was at fault first. He regretted what he had agreed to do.
The rice flowers beckoned the rice to come forward.
Daozi immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Moqing. Humph, mother is her mother, of course she will help him.
Daohua did not pull Daozi into her arms as usual, but let him stand one meter away.
Seeing that the rice flowers did not comfort her, the rice immediately pouted.
Daohua ignored him and pointed at Xiao Moqing and the others: "Do you know what your identity is to them?"
Daozi was stunned for a moment, then said loudly: "I am the younger brother, except Xiaoshi."
Daohua shook her head: "Think again."
Daozi glanced at Xiao Moqing and the others, rolled his eyes, and then said loudly: "I am the little prince."
Daohua: "What little prince?"
Daozi: "It's from the palace."
Daohua pointed at Xiao Morong and the others and asked, "Who are they then?"
Daozi: "Brother? Younger brother?"
Daohua: "They are guests. Now you know your identity, right? You are the young prince of Weiyuan Palace. They are guests of the palace. What should you do as the young master?"
Daozi tilted her head and said, "We should treat them well."
Rice Flower: "Did you do it?"
rice:"."
Daohua pointed at Xiao Moqing and said, "Is it the host's job to hurt a guest?"
The rice pouted and said nothing.
Daohua asked again, "Since you promised your seventh brother to lend him the scooter, why did you go back on your word?"
Daozi retorted: "I didn't regret it, I just wanted him to wait one more day."
Daohua: "Before the game of rock-paper-scissors, did you explain this to your seventh brother?"
The rice hung its head and remained silent again.
Daohua: "People should keep their promises. You don't want others to say you are a deadbeat, right? You must do what you say. If you can't do it, then you can't just promise others casually. Since you have promised, no matter how reluctant you are, you must keep your word."
Although Daozi's lips were still pouted, her arrogance had almost disappeared.
Rice Flower: "Did you do something wrong today?"
Daozi was unwilling to admit his mistake in front of his new friends, so he hung his head and said nothing.
Rice Flower didn't give Rice a chance to escape: "Speak."
Daozi looked at Daohua with a sad face, her nose a little sour. Her mother didn't even help her: "It was Seventh Brother who started it first."
Daohua: "That's his problem. We're talking about you now. Let's stick to the facts. Are you wrong?"
Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Daohua didn't soften her heart: "Why, little prince, you dare not take responsibility for what you did?"
The rice hung its head, and after a while it said in a muffled voice, "I was wrong!"
Seeing Daozi admit his mistake, Xiao Moqing raised his chin again and said that he was the eldest prince's son and his aunt would definitely be on his side.
At this time, Daohua turned her gaze to Xiao Moqing again: "Moqing, how old are you this year?"
Xiao Moqing, who was suddenly called out, instinctively replied, "I'm eight years old."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Eight years old, a big kid now."
Xiao Moqing straightened his chest and said, "Well, I've grown up."
Rice Flower asked again: "Do you know how old the rice is?"
Xiao Moqing: "I know, he is four years old."
Daohua continued to ask with a smile: "You are eight years old and he is four years old, so you are his older brother, right?"
Xiao Moqing nodded: "Yes."
Daohua: "As an older brother, shouldn't you be more considerate and humble to your younger brother?"
Xiao Moqing: “.”
Daohua: "My younger brother is young and doesn't think things through. If he makes a mistake, I, as an older brother, can correct him. But if he hits him, isn't that bullying?"
Xiao Moqing glanced at the rice that was a head shorter than him, looking a little embarrassed. It seemed as if he had just bullied the weak.
When Daozi heard his mother make the decision for him, he suddenly became proud again, although he had been a little depressed.
Daohua continued to smile and asked, "Is Moqing a child who bullies the weak?"
Xiao Moqing quickly retorted: "Of course not."
Daohua: "So, was it wrong for you to grab something from your brother today?"
Xiao Moqing curled his lips, and finally nodded weakly: "I was wrong."
Daohua smiled: "If you admit your mistakes and correct them, you are a good child. For example, in today's incident, you could first explain things to your brother. If he doesn't listen, you can come to me and make the decision for you. Isn't this much better than just snatching it away?"
Xiao Moqing nodded again: "Next time if Daozi goes back on his word, I will come to find Auntie."
Daohua nodded in agreement: "Okay, since you two admit that you did something wrong, let's talk about the punishment."
"ah!"
"Is there any punishment?"
Daozi and Xiao Moqing asked in unison.
Daohua smiled and said, "Of course. You made a mistake, how can you go unpunished?"
Daozi no longer cared about competing with Xiao Moqing and quickly threw herself on Daohua's legs: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will keep my word next time. Please don't punish me."
The rice flower pushed the rice aside and said, "Go back to where you came from and stand."
Daozi glanced at Daohua's expression and saw that his mother didn't seem to be joking, so he could only reluctantly stand back in his original position.
Rice Flower: "As the host, Rice Flower failed to treat the guests well and did not keep his word. I will punish you by making you stand on the stake for an extra hour every day for seven days."
When Daozi heard this, his face fell: "Mom, your punishment is too severe. You will lose your precious son like this."
Daohua ignored him and looked at Xiao Moqing: "As an older brother, you took the initiative to hit your younger brother. As a punishment, you will not be allowed to enter the amusement park for seven days."
Xiao Moqing's face fell, and he wanted to bargain, but when he saw his aunt looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but swallow his words.
Daohua smiled and said, "Very good, since you have no objection, let's decide it this way."
Daozi and Xiao Moqing: No, they have strong objections.
Daohua looked at the two of them and said, "I'm here. Your matter is over. Now I want to ask you, how do you want to resolve this matter?"
Daozi and Xiao Moqing looked confused: Is it not over yet?
Daohua smiled and said, "For example, will you put aside your differences and reconcile? Or will you go your separate ways and never have any contact with each other again?"
Daozi and Xiao Moqing were both silent.
Daozi looked at Xiao Moqing. He remembered what his mother had said about him being the master. Although he felt a little awkward, he still spoke first: "Look at what you said, mother. It's not a big deal. Of course we are reconciled."
Xiao Moqing also nodded: "There's no need to go our separate ways over such a small matter."
Daozi walked towards Xiao Moqing and extended a friendly hand: "We will still be good buddies from now on."
Xiao Moqing held Daozi's hand: "Yes, good buddy."
A handshake wasn't enough, the two also hugged each other.
Looking at the two people who had reconciled, Xiao Morong and the others looked at Daohua with admiration on their faces.
My aunt is so awesome. My seventh brother (seventh elder brother) was such a naughty guy, but she made him obedient with just a few words.
The servants who served Xiao Moqing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The little grandson of the emperor was noble, but the little prince of Weiyuan Palace was no less noble.
