Chapter 104: Report to Master, Little Seven Skipped Class

~7 min read 1,348 words

Hai Tang, quick-handed and quick-eyed, grabbed Feng Xuanbin back, preventing Xiao Pangzi from plopping down on the ground.

Sui Sui was also startled by his movement, but unfortunately she is small and short-armed; even reaching out, she couldn't reach the person.

After Feng Xuanbin recovered, he puffed out his little belly again and solemnly said, 'It was just a small mistake earlier; it's not a big deal—who hasn't had a moment of mistake?'

Le Le had said something similar before; Sui Sui thought for a moment, roughly understood the meaning, then nodded: 'Seven Brother is right!'

Feng Xuanrui thought Xiao Pangzi was just skipping class for a moment and would be back soon.

After he finished shooting a quiver of arrows, he discovered the person still hadn't returned.

Turning his head, Feng Xuanrui was so angry his nose almost twisted.

Seven Silly actually started playing with his sister!

Is he still going to attend class?

Feng Xuanrui angrily glared at Feng Xuanbin, but unfortunately the distance was far, so nobody saw it.

Finally, Feng Xuanrui had no choice; he turned to Master Shen and tattled: 'Master Shen, Little Seven skipped class!'

Feng Xuanrui intentionally spoke super loudly; far away, Feng Xuanbin was still preparing to show off his archery skill to Sui Sui.

Upon hearing that voice, he immediately replied even louder: 'It's not me, I didn't do it—I just wandered a bit farther!'

While speaking, Feng Xuanbin went running back with a puttering sound.

Because he exerted too much force, it felt as if the earth began to tremble with his movements!

Master Shen only brought five kids total—how could he not notice one missing?

It's a matter of turning a blind eye.

Now that Feng Xuanrui mercilessly exposed him, he could only turn his head and sternly say: 'Study well, don't wander off.'

In front of Master Shen, Feng Xuanbin was still very obedient: 'I know, Master Shen—I won't dare again.'

Master Shen: ……

You guess whether I believe you or not?

The archery lesson continued.

Except for Feng Xuancang, the others were still at the beginner stage and hadn't truly mounted.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they took a short break.

Next, they proceeded to the next lesson: horseback riding.

If one truly can't ride, like the young Feng Xuanbin, they can ride a donkey instead.

Although, Feng Xuanbin couldn't even figure out how to ride a donkey.

Nevertheless, this didn't stop him from boasting to Sui Sui: 'You believe me, Seven Brother—I'm the strongest!'

Xiao Pangzi is talkative, and his voice is loud.

Sui Sui always feels that after chatting a few words with Seven Brother, her ears ring.

The little girl felt a bit scared and anxiously asked the system.

【Le Le, am I going deaf?】

After the system scanned the data around, it softly soothed her.

【No, it's just that the sound is a bit louder; you'll get used to it.】

Knowing she wouldn't go deaf, Sui Sui felt much more relieved.

After watching for a while, the Princess Consort of Qi worried that staying there would distract the children from lessons, so she took Sui Sui's hand and headed back.

On the way, the Princess Consort of Qi softly asked Sui Sui: 'Are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink? Aunt Qiu's cow milk red bean soup tastes great; it's probably still warm now—would you like a sip?'

If the Mother Consort didn't mention it, Sui Sui wouldn't feel anything.

When the Mother Consort mentioned it, Sui Sui started craving it.

She quietly swallowed her saliva and obediently nodded: 'I want it, Mother Consort!'

The Princess Consort of Qi, seeing the little girl's cute appearance, couldn't help but pat her head: 'Then let's go back and drink cow milk.'

After Sui Sui and them woke from their nap, Aunt Qiu prepared all the ingredients and started cooking the cow milk red bean soup.

Afterward, someone was watching, so she didn't need to keep constant attention.

At this point, it had been simmered to perfection; after cooling slightly, drinking it was just the right temperature and comforting.

Moreover, it's just a sweet soup, so it won't burden the children's digestion.

However, for fear that Sui Sui might get hungry, they also prepared two sweet cakes.

Considering Sui Sui's digestive ability, Aunt Qiu specially replaced the glutinous rice with regular rice.

Feng Xuanrui happily rode his little foal for two laps, then prepared to ride over to find his sister, to show her what true heroism is.

Silly Seven like that……

It simply won't do!

As a result, when he turned to the field, he discovered……

Ah?

Where is my sister?

Where is my big sister?

His sister left with the Mother Consort, leaving Feng Xuanrui feeling a bit lost.

Just then Master Shen was calling, so Feng Xuanrui had no choice but to turn back helplessly.

In the cow milk red bean soup, Aunt Qiu had originally added sugar for flavor; after letting it cool slightly, she added a spoonful of honey.

Sweet and smooth, the red beans are cooked until soft and blooming; a sip still yields a delicate red bean texture.

The cow milk carries the delicate red beans; as it goes down the throat, there's also a slight gritty sensation and a sweet taste.

After Sui Sui took a sip, she widened her eyes, looked up at the Princess Consort of Qi, and said: 'Mother Consort, delicious, this is delicious!'

It feels more delicious to drink than yesterday's cow milk red date soup.

However, Sui Sui didn't say that.

This being tasty is enough!

Princess Consort of Qi originally didn't want to drink; she prefers light flavors and dislikes such sweet and greasy soup.

At this moment, seeing the little girl's eyes wide and round, as cute as the round, glistening eyes of a civet cat, she somehow felt bewitched and also took a sip.

Maybe because Sui Sui praised it, this sweet soup also became tasty?

Princess Consort of Qi felt that this sip was not as sweet and cloying as she imagined.

Meeting Sui Sui's expectant gaze, Princess Consort of Qi smiled and nodded: "It's delicious, Sui Sui, drink some more—would you like a piece of sweet cake?"

Afraid the little girl would be greedy and not eat properly at night, affecting her growth, Princess Consort of Qi quickly said: "Just try one or two pieces; there's still a proper meal tonight, don't ruin normal eating."

Sui Sui obediently nodded and ate only one piece of sweet cake.

Having the sweetness of red bean soup beforehand, the sweet cake, which doesn't have much sugar, seems just average.

Sui Sui ate that piece cleanly, not even a crumb fell.

Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, feeling sour inside, somewhat indescribably uncomfortable.

She wanted to scold Marquis Jinyang in her heart, but she, who rarely scolds people, really couldn't think of what to say.

In the end she could only clench her fists angrily to show she was a bit angry!

Sui Sui is small, so she drinks slowly.

Princess Consort of Qi isn't in a hurry to urge, letting the child eat slowly.

When Sui Sui finally finished that bowl of red bean soup, Feng Xuanrui and the others' afternoon lessons also ended.

The afternoon archery lesson is usually about half an hour.

Occasionally it runs a bit longer.

Master Shen felt that since the Prince didn't intend to, they should make the residence's sons into military commanders.

Then it's enough to train less in daily life; more often, playful activities are also them training themselves.

Master Shen's educational concept is still quite open-minded.

After the young masters returned, they first went to wash up simply.

They have a lot of activity, really a thorough tossing about.

Their faces are sweaty and muddy, so they need to clean up.

After cleaning up, Princess Consort of Qi was wiping Sui Sui's mouth.

Seeing the older brother return, Sui Sui happily lifted her feet: "Big brother!"

The second watch is at 19:00.
