Chapter 998 Chapter 998, Contribution is indispensable
The dispute between Daozi and Xiao Moqing over a scooter was satisfactorily resolved at the palace. The two reconciled and the matter was over.
But the An family didn't think so. When they saw Xiao Moqing coming back with a red and swollen face, everyone in the An family was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
"How did the girl from the Yan family educate her children? She is so cruel and ruthless at such a young age. Look at what she did to our little prince." Old Madam An applied boiled eggs to Xiao Moqing's face with a look of heartache on her face.
Xiao Moqing felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Daozi was younger than him. It was embarrassing for him to be beaten by a brother who was four years younger than him, okay?
However, seeing that Madam An was so worried about him, he felt quite pleased and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I also beat the rice. The corners of his mouth are broken."
Madam An snorted coldly, "He deserves it. You are the eldest prince's son, and your status is many times more noble than that of the Yan family girl's son. You are attracted by his things, which means you respect him. He actually dared to fight with you, so you deserve..."
"Ahem~"
Mrs. An San suddenly started coughing violently, interrupting Mrs. An's words.
Madam An looked at her daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? You must have caught a cold. If you have a cold, you must stay away from the little prince. Don't let the disease spread to the little prince."
Mrs. An San took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Mother, I'm fine, I just choked on my tea."
As he said this, he looked at Xiao Moqing with a smile.
"I see that Your Highness has been sweating quite a bit. The bath water is ready. Would you like to take a bath first?"
Xiao Moqing also felt sticky and uncomfortable, so he nodded immediately: "Okay, I want to take a shower."
After sending Xiao Moqing away, Madam An San finally felt relieved. She was really afraid that her mother-in-law would say something inappropriate again.
Although the little prince is eight years old, he is still a child after all. Children are not good at speaking. If he learns a sentence or two and the people in Weiyuan Palace hear it, the An family will really offend Weiyuan Palace.
In the capital, with the imperial concubine and the eldest prince present, perhaps she wouldn't have to be too afraid of King Weiyuan, but her master was still serving in Xiliang.
Prince Weiyuan is the highest official in Xiliang. It would be very easy for him to deal with the master.
This mother-in-law is so self-indulgent that she doesn't even consider their situation at all!
Listening to Old Madam An still chattering about Princess Xiao's faults, Madam An San felt very tired and quickly found an excuse to get up and leave.
"snort!"
Madam An watched Madam An San leave with a cold look: "You are such a coward."
An Xin, who was standing by, heard this and stepped forward with a smile to persuade him, "Aunt San is also worried that Uncle San will be blamed by King Weiyuan."
Mrs. An's expression did not improve: "You, Third Aunt, are so weak that you think I'm old and confused."
An Xin thought about how her Third Aunt had taken good care of her since she came to Liangdu. After a moment's thought, she explained for Mrs. An San: "Third Aunt doesn't know much about the situation in the capital, so she's a little cautious."
Mrs. An said, "Your third aunt's temper will never change in this lifetime, and I'm too lazy to say anything to her." As she said that, she looked at her graceful granddaughter beside her and nodded with satisfaction.
"How's your painting skills going?"
An Xin smiled and said, "My granddaughter practices diligently every day."
Mrs. An nodded and said nothing more.
The other princes' in-laws also heard about the fight between Daozi and Xiao Moqing.
Madam Du smiled and asked the maid to take Xiao Mobao downstairs to rest. Then she said to Lord Du, "Princess Xiao is quite good at disciplining children. She didn't take sides and even made the two children reconcile on their own initiative in the end."
Lord Du nodded and said, "Princess Xiao should not be underestimated. She may be a woman, but she can do things just as well as a man. I heard that this autumn harvest, Daoxiang Village will release a new crop called sweet potato, which is as productive as potatoes."
"Potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, with these high-yield crops, the people of Xiliang will no longer go hungry."
"The promotion of high-yield cotton varieties and the emergence of woolen sweaters and trousers also solved the clothing problem for the people of Xiliang."
"Princess Xiao has made indelible contributions to the development of Xiliang!"
Mrs. Du felt a little jealous when she saw her master praising a woman so much, but she also admired Princess Xiao very much.
Lord Du suddenly asked, "I heard that the family has started to see the third son?"
Madam Du nodded and said with a smile, "Mother has asked the Consort Shu to help with the physiognomy."
Lord Du thought for a moment and said, "When it comes to marrying a wife, it's important to have a good match, but in the end, it all comes down to the person. Take Prince Weiyuan and Princess Xiao for example. Many people were skeptical of their marriage back then, but now, Princess Xiao has made an indelible contribution to Prince Weiyuan's success."
"Write a letter back to tell mother that if there is a more outstanding lady, even if her family background is relatively low, we can accept her."
Mrs. Du did not refute this: "Okay, I will listen to you, Master. I will write the letter later."
Weiyuan Palace.
Xiao Yeyang felt a little distressed when he saw the bruised corner of his son's mouth, but he didn't show it. It was normal for boys to fall and fight.
Daozi was very nervous when he was looked at, fearing that his father would punish him like his mother did.
Xiao Yeyang: "How do you feel about the fight today?"
rice:"."
Seeing his son's confused face, Xiao Yeyang asked patiently: "The corner of your mouth has been broken by someone, don't you have any ideas?"
Daozi touched the corner of his mouth and twitched in pain. He looked at Xiao Yeyang pitifully, begging for comfort: "Dad, it hurts."
Xiao Yeyang remained indifferent and looked at his son lazily.
Daozi felt embarrassed when he was looked at, and pouted, "I can't beat Seventh Brother."
Xiao Yeyang: "So?"
The rice sticks out its neck and says: "It's because I'm still young. When I grow up, I will be able to win."
Xiao Yeyang: "Last time you were taken to Wuhuzhai, did the people there let you go because you were young?"
Daozi shook his head.
Xiao Yeyang: "Being young is not an excuse, being weak is the root cause."
Daozi thought for a moment and said, "Then I will try my best to practice martial arts with Grandpa Chu in the future."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Son, you have to remember that a man's life is spent competing with others. At home, you have to compete with your parents and brothers. Only when you are strong enough can you gain more say for yourself."
Hearing this, Daozi's eyes rolled: "I know this, just like me now, I am very weak, so I have to listen to my parents, otherwise I will be punished, and I can't resist."
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
They haven't punished this brat much, right? Why did they suddenly think of all this?
Never mind, he wasn't wrong.
Xiao Yeyang continued, "When you grow up and leave home, you will have to compete with people outside. People outside are not like those at home who will tolerate you. If you are too weak, they will be like hungry wolves in the mountains and eat you up."
Daozi shuddered: "Why do they want to eat me?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Because they are hungry!"
Daozi Baozi frowned. "They're hungry, so they should go find something to eat. Why are they looking for me?"
Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, "Because you're a small wealthy man. Look, you have the small treasury your mother saved for you, and there's also the family business your parents left you in the future. There's also a royal palace in the capital waiting for you to inherit. If they eat you, they'll be rich as hell and never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives. Tell me, if they don't eat you, who will they eat?"
Daozi's face fell: "Then what should I do?"
Xiao Yeyang: "You have to find a way to keep your things."
Daozi puffed out his cheeks and clenched his fists, saying, "Dad, I will practice martial arts well in the future. If the hungry wolves dare to eat me, I will eat them first."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and rubbed his son's head: "You have ambition! Daozi, you have to remember one thing, men can compete with each other, but you have to make sure that you win in the end."
"Because if a man loses, the consequences will be dire."
