Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 360 Brothers
On the day of Fu's big ceremony, the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince finally set off. Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning took Xiaobai and Xiaoqian to the gate of the city.

Xiaobai repeatedly told his elder brother, "If you see something delicious and interesting on the road, ask someone to bring it back to me, no, it's for my sister."

"Understood, you and your younger brother and younger sister have both." The prince patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of your younger brothers and sisters, and don't make your mother angry."

"I never make my queen angry." Xiao Bai said.

The prince was silent for a while, and said: "You asked my younger brother to copy the article for you, the empress mother knows."

Xiaobai turned pale with shock, and hugged the prince's arm, "Brother, please take me with you, please!"

"You'd better find your mother and admit your mistakes, rather than run away. You should know that I can't take you away." The prince rejected him mercilessly.

"Brother, I am your dearest brother, how can you bear it?"

"I bear it."

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Xiaobai asked with a mournful face, "Brother, will the queen be so angry that you beat me up?"

"The queen mother doesn't beat people."

"What if you get angry?"

The prince looked at Xiaobai for a while, and said, "Your skin is very thick, you can take a beating."

"Brother, do you still have brotherhood?" Xiao Bai complained angrily.

"I'll take you to the queen mother's house and tell me that you've made a mistake, and I won't let my younger brother help you copy the articles and intercede for you. How about this?"

Just as Xiaobai was about to say something, the eunuch came over to urge the prince, "The empress dowager is in a hurry."

The prince didn't say anything more to Xiaobai, and got into the carriage directly to escort the queen mother to Sichuan province.

Watching the convoy go away, Jiang Changning said to Yan Yinyao: "Let's go, we're going back to the city too."

"Yeah..." Yan Yinyao looked away with some reluctance.

"Why are you bothering?" Jiang Changning sighed softly.

Yan Yinyao pursed her lips, "I don't want to see those two people."

Jiang Changning doesn't know much about what happened between her and her biological father and stepmother, but since others are suffering, don't persuade others to be kind.

After so many years, Yan Yinyao still couldn't forgive her biological father and stepmother. One can imagine how abhorrent what these two people did.

"By the way, what did you give the prince?" Jiang Changning asked curiously.

"Prevent the prince from bringing you something for your daughter-in-law." Yan Yinyao laughed.

"No, I have taught the prince, and His Majesty has also arranged for someone to be by the prince's side to prevent such a situation from happening." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, there are some people in the Yan family who are shameless, and they use all kinds of tricks, and a gentleman's tricks can't prevent them." Yan Yinyao said.

A stern voice flashed in Jiang Changning's eyes, "Then they will fill it with their lives."

She will not show mercy just because she is the Empress Dowager's natal family, and so is Emperor Xuan Zhi.

"Xiao Yu'er is sitting still?" Yan Yinyao changed the subject.

"I'm sitting still, but I'm anxious to stand up and learn to walk." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"That can't let her go, the leg bones haven't grown hard yet."

The aunt and sister-in-law talked all the way, and entered the city, Yan Yinyao did not follow into the palace, but was escorted home by a small group of guards.

When they arrived at the palace, Jiang Changning led his two sons back to Qiyuan Palace, while Emperor Xuanzhi went to Qinzheng Palace to meet the ministers.

After entering the palace, Mother Feng told her, "The little princess has teeth."

"So early?" Jiang Changning remembered that the three sons were only seven months old, and now the daughter is only five months old.

The nanny brought Xiao Yuer over, Jiang Changning cleaned her hands, and went to lift her lips, and sure enough, she saw small white spots appearing on the pink and tender gums.

"Teeth grows early, and she speaks early. The little princess is a smart person, no worse than the three older brothers." Mother Feng laughed.

"Mother's little baby, she's a smart baby." Jiang Changning hugged his daughter and shook her in the air.

Xiao Yuer giggled and seemed to like this very much.

Jiang Changning didn't have the strength to throw her up and down, so he hugged her sideways and turned around a few times, making her salivate with laughter.

"You really are a brave girl." Jiang Changning put her on the couch.

"Ahhh!" Xiao Yuer shouted, waving his hands.

"You still want to play? Mother has no strength, let your two brothers play with you." Jiang Changning went to change clothes.

When she changed into light clothes, took off most of the hairpins, and sat on the kang by the window to drink tea, Xiaobai slowly moved over and called out with a dry smile: "Mother's queen."

"Yeah..." Jiang Changning lowered his eyelids and didn't look at him.

"Mother, I've worked hard today, my son beats your legs." Xiao Bai picked up the small cork that was placed beside him and said.

"It's not hard, tell me, what trouble did you get into again?" Jiang Changning asked knowingly.

Xiaobai knelt down on the ground with a "slap", put down the wooden stick, and pinched his earlobes with both hands, "Mother, my son knew he was wrong, please forgive him this time, he will never dare again."

"Tell me, why did you ask Xiaoqian to copy the article for you?" Jiang Changning asked seriously.

"Gao Jun Meng Po knew the laws and regulations, and tried to write books by himself. The secretary mourned for his old age, and wanted to replace him, but refused. He said: 'I will write it myself, and I will read it ten times.' That is to say, copy it once and remember it. Why do you have to copy it so many times? This is a waste of time. Mother, you said that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time, so I can't waste time." Xiaobai said plausibly.

"Is it enough to memorize the article? Do you know the meaning of this article?" Jiang Changning continued to ask.

Xiaobai's eyes lit up, "Mom, did I remember that, so I don't have to copy it so many times?"

Jiang Changning looked at him with a sneer, and said two words cruelly: "No."

Xiaobai shrunk his mouth, like a frost-beaten eggplant.

Jiang Changning helped him up, pulled him to sit down next to him, "Mother knows, copying articles over and over again is indeed boring, but Xiaobai, copying articles is a process of discovery, learning, and cognition. The ability to write can also cultivate perseverance and hone the will."

After talking about the benefits of copying articles, Jiang Changning pushed him, "Go and call your brother."

"Mother, it's all my fault. It's none of my business. Don't punish him. If you want to punish him, punish me." Xiaobai hurriedly said.

"I know that you brothers have a good relationship, but you are both at fault for this matter. Go and call your brother over." Jiang Changning said.

Xiaobai had no choice but to call Xiaoqian in the past.

Xiaoqian is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, "Mother, my son is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Changning asked with a straight face.

"You shouldn't have allowed your second brother to be lazy, and you shouldn't have helped your second brother copy articles to deceive Mr." Xiaoqian said pointing her fingers.

Jiang Changning asked: "Xiaoqian, you did this because of brotherhood, right?"

"Mother, you said that brothers have this life but not the next one. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits can cut through gold. Second brother doesn't like to copy articles. I like it. It doesn't take much trouble to help me copy."

"Brothers and sisters should support each other, help each other, and achieve each other, but it is wrong to cover up, condone, or even cooperate in doing bad things. Good brothers should correct each other when they do wrong, and help brothers return to the right path."

Jiang Changning warned the two brothers as simply and clearly as possible, and the two brothers said in unison: "Mother, the son knows."

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Tell yourself how you should be punished."

Xiaobai thought for a while, "My son copied "Book of Rites" ten times." He dislikes copying articles the most, and this kind of punishment is the heaviest for him.

"My son adds half an hour to practice boxing every day." Xiaoqian doesn't like sports.

Jiang Changning smiled slightly, "It's enough for Xiaobai to copy it three times, and Xiaoqian adds a quarter of an hour every day."

The queen mother eased the punishment, and the brothers were very happy, "Thank you queen mother."
