His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 165 Candid
Jiang Fuxuan is no longer as small as two courtyards, one in front and one in back.

Since the two children have grown up, the prince often works here, and there is also a study and so on.

So the two small palaces next door were enclosed and remodeled.

The layout inside remains largely unchanged, but the space for activities is much larger, two entrances have become three entrances, and two side halls, east and west, have been added.

The original main hall, Chen Fulin, has not been moved. One of the study rooms is next to the main hall where she lives, and the other is in the expanded east side hall.

The one next to the main hall is used by the two children, and the one on the east is used by the prince.

And now the crown prince asked them to go to the study, which was also their usual study.

"Father."

The two children seemed to know that they must have done something wrong, so they stood obediently with their heads down as soon as they came in.

And it was enough time for Qin Ao to figure out what happened just now while they were cleaning up.

Time passed little by little.

In the study room, apart from Qin Xu's brother and sister's call of "Father King", there was no sound at all.

The brothers and sisters stared at each other's toes, their hearts beat faster...

Just when they felt that today's silence was particularly terrifying and that they were about to face catastrophe, their father finally opened his mouth:
"Do you know why I called you here?"

Even a trial is better than unfeasible silence.

Just as Qin Xu was about to stand up and say something, Qin Xi spoke first: "I know! It's me..."

Qin Xu immediately interrupted her: "Father! It's my fault! I've made your mother sad!"

Qin Ao noticed the movements of the brothers and sisters, and a trace of satisfaction flashed across his brows. He tapped on the table lightly:

"I'm not an interrogator, so I don't need you to scramble to admit your mistakes. Any cover-up behavior doesn't count here. You all know this."

"Tell me what's wrong."

Qin Xu lowered his head: "It's because I couldn't memorize the homework assigned by my husband, and instead quarreled with my sister. That's why, that's why..."

Let the mother scold the younger sister, only then did the following things happen.

Qin Xi: "It's none of my brother's business, it's because I didn't study hard and left the two teachers in anger, so my mother is angry..."

The teacher who teaches Qin Xi Qin Yi is indeed her third teacher.

This is the disciple of Mrs. Chen Fulin who taught in the Chen Mansion. It was an honor for her to be able to come to the East Palace to teach the little princess.

But Qin Xi was naughty and never cared about learning the piano. If it wasn't for Chen Fulin and his husband's sake, he would have given up like the previous two.

Hearing what the brothers and sisters said, Qin Ao shook his head: "No, you think your mother is angry because of this?"

Another moment of silence.

"It's...it's me, I'm not doing my job, thinking, thinking..."

Qin Xi's nose was sore, she really couldn't speak.

Just admitting it in front of mother had already made her ashamed enough.

She is young, but her self-esteem is strong.

Knowing that it was a bad thing, but she had to say it again in front of her father, she really couldn't do it.

Qin Ao sighed slightly, and stopped pressing her: "Ah Si!"

Qin Xi raised her head subconsciously. After she was three years old, her father stopped calling her by her nickname.

The imperial grandfather and the others prefer to call her "Xihe", which is her title.

Her father said in a deep voice: "Your mother will never leave a few gentlemen angry with you because of your anger. She is angry because of your dishonesty and distrust."

He paused, then continued: "And herself."

They have been together for seven years and know each other best.

After understanding the whole matter, Qin Ao quickly understood her mood.

She was blaming herself for why her daughter didn't dare to tell them when she clearly had her own ideas.

She is blaming herself, her laissez-faire has made her daughter's inappropriate thoughts take root, and may even affect her life.

Qin Xi shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I don't distrust my mother..."

She just didn't know what to tell her.

This is the person who is related to her by flesh and blood, except for Qin Xu, the closest person, how could she not trust her mother?
She heard from her mother that when she was a child, she was almost killed by someone, but her mother found her and rescued her, and took care of her for seven days and seven nights.

The wife of a rich family never breastfeeds the child herself, because it will affect her figure, but she grew up drinking her mother's breast milk.

Mother loves her so much, she will not distrust her.

But, frankly...

Qin Xi lowered his head and stared at the smooth floor, letting the bean-sized teardrops roll down and hit the floor.

Yes!

That was the person who brought her into this world with his life.

That was the person who cared for her day and night so that she would die young.

That was the person who would apologize to herself first, even though she was wrong.

Why can't she be honest with her?

Because of her ridiculous self-esteem?

Anyone in the world would laugh at her innocence, but she was the only one who wouldn't!
Because that is her mother!
Her safe haven!

Qin Ao looked at the teardrops on the ground, and felt very guilty in his heart.

It is also his responsibility.

If it wasn't that he was always asking for a husband for her, Qin Xi wouldn't have felt that they expected her to be a lady who played piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and wine.

"Father also has negligence. From now on, he will not force you to learn anything. Tell your mother what you like. Without your consent, Father will not find you a husband on his own."

"Also Qin Xu, if there is something wrong with the father, you can bring it up if you think it is wrong."

Of course, whether to change it or not is his business.

Qin Xu is different from Qin Xi, he has high hopes for him.

Originally, he felt that the child was spoiled by his mother, if he dared to have any opinions...

hum!

If we talk about being together with Chen Fulin for seven years, what Qin Ao changed the most is "Correct when you know your mistakes".

In the past, he felt that he was a prince, even if he did something wrong, others should give him a step, and he would make up for it afterwards, and just reward him, but that person never gave him a step down.

The two quarreled a few times, and Qin Ao recognized it.

He is a manly man, capable of bending and stretching, besides, he admits his mistakes in the room, and no one else knows.

So he also developed such a habit, and brought it to the previous court without knowing it. Whenever he had something wrong, he admitted it openly and aboveboard, and then took measures to remedy it. On the contrary, many people praised the prince's character.

This is also a surprise.

So he can do it with his courtiers, and he can do it with his own children.

But Qin Xu and Qin Xi were still surprised, especially Qin Xu.

Qin Xi was moved: "Thank you, Father..."

Qin Xu raised his head and looked at his father seriously, but saw the latter raised his eyebrows: "What? What's your opinion?"

Qin Xu: ...

Qin Xu has no objection.

He knew that most of those words were added casually by his father.

In his father's heart, his mother ranks first, his sister ranks second, and he...

Can only be last.
