Chapter 124: then translation of title

~7 min read 1,387 words

Sui Sui was so anxious she was almost about to break free from Princess Consort of Qi's hand.

Seeing the little girl dote on her little six, how could Princess Consort of Qi not be happy?

However, children's squabbles don't really need an even younger child to step in.

Princess Consort of Qi's Gentleness stroked Sui Sui's hand, pointed toward the distance, and said, "Don't worry, the brothers are sparring; if you go over to help, it will embarrass the brother, make Seventh Brother mock him, and you'd need the sister's help to beat anyone."

"Sui Sui, don't panic, we're all close brothers, we won't go all out; normally we do it this way."

……

Princess Consort of Qi explained gently, and Sui Sui gradually understood.

This might also be a kind of physical training class, right?

Sui Sui thought for a long time, but actually still didn't understand.

But Mother Consort said it's fine, so it should be okay, right?

Sui Sui, uneasy, tiptoed to look into the distance, saw the two brothers quickly get up and run forward, appearing normal and unharmed, and finally felt relieved.

During an afternoon of physical training, Feng Xuanrui and his brothers often paired off to spar.

They didn't strike hard, but it still hurt.

By the end, each one was crying out "ouch, ouch".

Master Shen, hearing their cries, twitched his brows: "When you go back, remember to rub it well; continue tomorrow."

The Feng brothers: "……"

Help!

The other brothers were fine, but Feng Xuanrui hadn't trained for over a month, and now his arms and legs were very stiff.

Right now it's both sore and painful; hearing Master Shen's words, he immediately slumped his face.

Sui Sui watched from the side, feeling sorry, she came over and gently helped her brother rub his leg: "Brother, is it still sore? Does it hurt? I learned a few things from Liu Ye Ye; I can help you rub it."

What do little kids learn?

Just learned some forms, that's all.

Even so, Feng Xuanrui was still deeply moved.

Holding Sui Sui's arm, he cried out "ouch, waa" for a while.

Feng Xuanbin saw this, also squeezed over, grabbed Sui Sui's other hand, and joined in the crying.

The two made wolf howls, monkey calls, and goose honks—sounds that didn't really sound human.

Feng Xuanbo saw the two brothers embracing, while he had none, so he stood there, tapping his arms and speaking in a sarcastic, odd tone.

Feng Xuanjie was timid and didn't join in, but his adorable puppy eyes couldn't help glancing here and there.

He stood still, not moving, yet felt as if he were busy, though he didn't know what he was busy with.

Feng Xuancang also tried to soothe Feng Xuanbo, telling him to stop, but his ears hurt from listening.

This mixture of wailing and howling was truly deadly.

Unfortunately, Feng Xuancang's several attempts at persuasion all ended in failure.

Moreover, Feng Xuanbo dragged him in, wanting him to judge the situation.

Feng Xuancang:?

What am I supposed to judge?

Help!

Eldest brother, second brother, hurry back to the manor; third brother, I really can't handle this!

As the sky grew dark, the brothers made a ruckus for a while, then tidied up and returned to the manor.

Feng Xuancang disliked the brothers' noise and said he wanted to ride back to the city with Master Shen.

Feng Xuanjie also wanted to follow, but after thinking it over, he realized his riding skills weren't good, fearing an accident on the way; thinking of his mother's timid nature, hearing this would make her lose sleep, so he ultimately gave up.

Just before boarding the carriage, he kept gazing longingly at his third brother's handsome horseback riding.

How nice!

He also needs to eat more, grow strong, and then his riding should improve a lot, right?

Feng Xuanrui and the others are too young; they never even thought about riding horses.

Even the little foals ride poorly.

Besides, being able to squeeze into a carriage with his sister, why would he need to ride a horse?

Princess Consort of Qi was almost squeezed out of the carriage by the several children.

The crowd, making a ruckus, returned to the manor and happened to encounter Prince Qing on the way.

Prince Qing went out of the city late at night; Princess Consort of Qi wasn't sure if he had official business, so after a moment's thought she just exchanged a few pleasantries, deliberately mentioning Sui Sui a few more times to put him at ease.

Prince Qing has been busy these past two days.

After returning to the capital, although all matters had already been reported to His Majesty, there were still some things that needed his help.

Indeed, late that night he got another lead, took people out of the city to pursue someone.

Although busy, Prince Qing still remembered the matters concerning Little Six and Sui Sui.

Now that he has run into them, naturally he should ask a few questions.

Hearing Wang Sao say that Sui Sui is all well, Prince Qing felt much more at ease.

Feng Xuanrui listened to the commotion and even poked his head out of the carriage: "Uncle Wang, I'm fine now! Just my arms are a bit sore!"

Hearing that, Prince Qing nodded, his expression stern and cold, and said, "Then practice more."

Feng Xuanrui: ……

He knew it would be like that!

Hmph!

The young lad was not convinced, he sat back down huffing and puffing.

After hearing Prince Qing's voice, Feng Xuanbin did not dare to speak up at all.

He felt that Prince Qing was really too fierce.

Feng Xuanbin was very afraid that the other party, when angry, would eat children.

So he didn't want to look!

He couldn't see Prince Qing, Prince Qing couldn't see him, so he felt safe.

He really is a little clever ghost!

Feng Xuanbin hid in the carriage corner, hehehe laughing.

Sui Sui also thought Prince Qing was very fierce, but since he had saved her, the little girl still remembered the kindness.

Upon hearing the commotion, she also poked out her little head, eyes bright as she looked at the person: "Prince Qing!"

Seeing the little girl's bright eyes, her slightly chubby little face, and the shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, Prince Qing's expression wavered for a moment.

The little girl's soft voice pulled Prince Qing's wandering thoughts back; he quickly nodded at Sui Sui: "Sui Sui, eat more rice."

How could the former Prince Qing ever coax a child?

He had only studied with Doctor Liu for a while, and now he had also learned some gentle tones and words.

Sui Sui obediently nodded: "I know, Prince Qing."

Princess Consort of Qi listened on the side, gently stroking the little girl's head: "Sui Sui, you should call him Prince Qing; this is your uncle."

Sui Sui actually didn't really understand the distinction, but what Mother Consort said was surely correct.

The little girl quickly nodded and called out crisply: "Prince Qing!"

When Princess Consort of Qi said that, Prince Qing knew that Wang Sao probably wanted to acknowledge Sui Sui as her child.

Thus, the worry he had been holding onto could finally be let go.

As for his unreliable older brother…

His opinion actually wasn't very important either.

No need to pay attention to it.

Prince Qing returned to the capital for two days; whatever should have been known, he certainly knew.

Regarding Prince Qi's older brother going to a separate residence to have children, Prince Qing had long since become accustomed to it.

Nowadays, he also doesn't mention it much, lest Wang Sao feel upset.

Prince Qing still had matters to attend to, so he took his leave first.

Princess Consort of Qi politely gave a few reminders, telling him to stay safe, then signaled for the carriage to go ahead.

After the carriage had gone far, Feng Xuanbin quietly crept from the corner to Sui Sui's side: "Little sister, you're so bold, daring to speak to Prince Qing."

As for Seventh Brother's words, Sui Sui didn't understand; she tilted her head and wondered aloud: "Why wouldn't I dare to speak to Prince Qing?"

The second watch is at 19:00.
