Chapter 223: Preparing to Modify the Little Wooden Horse

Feng Xuanbo's words instantly stimulated the two younger brothers.

Boys' dignity cannot be provoked!

They actually dare to say we're slow!

That's absolutely impossible!

Feng Xuanrui snorted twice in dissatisfaction, then turned his head to glance at Feng Xuanbin beside him: 'Little Seven, show some spirit—don't always hold us back.'

Feng Xuanbin was left dumbfounded by the comment; he turned his not-so-smart mind and instinctively retorted: 'But, Sixth Brother, you're not fast either—otherwise, how could we have run together?'

Feng Xuanrui: ……

Ah, you stinky little brother, you'll make me die of anger someday!

The children were having fun playing, and Prince Qi watching them was also happy.

Feng Xuanbo wasn't overdoing it either; he quickly got off and let another brother take his turn.

Except for Feng Xuancang, who felt embarrassed to ride the wooden horse and had his brothers pull him, everyone else went up and enjoyed a ride.

Of course, Sui Sui occupied the honored seat and never moved.

No matter which brother went up, they were all protecting her.

However, the wooden horse was not originally suited for being pulled like that.

So after going around once, the children got down again, circled the wooden horse, and prepared to modify it.

Feng Xuanrui spoke first: 'We need wheels, like a cart, so it's easier to run; otherwise pulling it is exhausting—my hands were almost breaking just now!'

Feng Xuanbin, listening on the side, said in confusion: 'But you were pushing the cart, weren't you? We pushed it together—how could pulling it still be so tiring?'

Feng Xuanrui: ……

Shut up!

The two younger brothers were arguing, and Feng Xuancang listened, wanting to laugh.

However, Feng Xuanrui's words made sense.

The wooden horse isn't suited for being pulled while running, but adding wheels should work, right?

Feng Xuancang's handicraft skills are good; for him, carving a large wooden component like the wooden horse isn't difficult.

Just add some wheels to make it easier to move.

Feng Xuancang thought the problem shouldn't be big.

He then prepared paper and pen on the spot and began to draw.

As soon as they saw the third brother drawing, the brothers immediately gathered around.

Nobody minded the dirt; some sat on the ground, others lay there.

Feng Xuanrui shielded Sui Sui, keeping her off the ground and letting her sit on his lap.

A bunch of little heads gathered together, discussing what to add here and what to add there.

'I think we should add a bamboo-leaf dragonfly—it would go fast when pulled, and look lovely when the wind blows!'

'That makes sense; we should also add a spot to hold a water kettle so the little sister can drink when thirsty.'

'Finally, we need a place to rest the feet; just dangling like that isn't safe—our little sister is too small and her legs are too short for that.'

……

The children's ideas are wild and boundless.

However, Feng Xuancang listened seriously and made adjustments from time to time.

Even though Sui Sui was told her legs were short, she wasn't angry and happily sat on her brother's lap to watch.

Actually she didn't understand, but it didn't affect her good mood.

The children played until very late; in the end, Princess Consort of Qi said they had lessons tomorrow and shouldn't delay.

Although they had wasted half a day today, Master Shen still felt sorry for them worrying about their little sister, but they couldn't do this again tomorrow.

The children weren't too happy, but they also knew that sleeping too late makes it hard to get up.

Everyone reluctantly bade farewell to Father King, Mother Consort, and little sister, then headed to their own quarters.

Feng Xuanrui tried to abduct the little sister, but Prince Qi strictly guarded against it.

In the end, Feng Xuanrui was so angry his nose turned red; he snorted like a little pig several times before reluctantly leaving.

Watching this, Prince Qi chuckled: 'You little brat, do you think you can still outdo your father?'

After saying that, he didn't forget to coax Sui Sui: 'Sui Sui, be good; tonight you'll sleep with Father King.'

Princess Consort of Qi wanted to say: 'You snore when you sleep at night; don't scare the children again.'

However, considering the Prince's recent mood wasn't great, Princess Consort of Qi swallowed her words again.

Although Sui Sui also likes Father King, she likes Mother Consort even more.

So after hearing Father King's words, Sui Sui wrapped her arms around his neck and coquettishly said: 'But Father King, I want to sleep with Mother Consort—let me sleep with Mother Consort, okay? Please, Father King.'

This adorable little daughter acting coquettish—who could resist?

Prince Qi was instantly dazed.

He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't!

His daughter kept telling him, 'Please!'

What else could he do?

He could only agree!

However, he doesn't sleep in the main residence—where does he sleep?

His current situation……

Thinking of his own body, Prince Qi withdrew into himself.

He clung and refused to leave; Princess Consort of Qi couldn't bring herself to chase him away, so she gently advised: 'Why don't you go see Meng Ce Fei? She was frightened yesterday and probably hasn't recovered yet; having someone nearby would put her mind at ease.'

Prince Qi nearly blew his top after hearing that; his chubby body twisted, and he turned to face the inside of the bed: "I'm not going!"

Princess Consort of Qi sighed helplessly: "But the child is grown; it's not proper for you to keep sleeping together all the time. Sui Sui is slowly growing up, and only just beginning to understand the difference between males and females. Your messing around will confuse her again."

When a son grows up, he avoids his mother.

And when a daughter grows up, she must avoid her father.

As for Sui Sui's past days, we won't mention them for now.

After she comes to the Qi Wang Fu, whatever she ought to understand and know, the Princess Consort of Qi will surely teach her carefully, so she won't suffer a loss later.

Prince Qi naturally understands this principle; his earlier remark about wanting to sleep together with Sui Sui was also because he likes the young maiden.

When it really comes time to sleep, he will certainly still have to separate from Sui Sui.

However, he doesn't mind saying it himself, but if someone else says it, he's unhappy.

Moreover, his physical problem makes Prince Qi even more displeased: "If I go to another's courtyard, won't they just find out that I'm incapable?"

Princess Consort of Qi: ……

For a moment, she actually didn't know what to say.

Seeing the Prince looking aggrieved and on the verge of breaking apart, the Princess Consort of Qi could only patiently soothe him: "Doctor Liu said it's just that the seed is no good; he didn't say you're no good."

Having said that, the Princess Consort of Qi let out a light sigh and continued: "Besides, having you go to console Meng Ce Fei is just to have you talk with her more, so she can feel more at ease."

Prince Qi actually understands this principle as well.

He also heard about yesterday's incident at Suya Zhai today.

Sui Si's description was detailed and apt; just thinking about it now makes Prince Qi's scalp tingle, let alone Meng Ce Fei having witnessed it herself.

The other party has a gentle disposition and isn't very bold.

Despite being frightened, she still kept in mind to send something to Sui Sui to thank her for saving her life.

At this point, I ought to go there myself.

But thinking of my own body…

Wuu wuu!

Prince Qi thought, his life is so miserable.

Damned Car Maid, I don't even know if she's dead or alive nowadays.

Whenever he thinks of her now, he wants to grab a knife and go to the Tianlao, first chopping her to vent his anger!

But upon further thought, she's just a pawn; killing her wouldn't relieve his anger, so he might as well kill other members of the Car family.

Thinking of this, Prince Qi suddenly felt energized, turned around, and whispered: "You say, how about I sneak into the Da Li Si Tianlao at night?"

The second watch
