Chapter 226: Overcast Rainy Day

Sui Sui tried listening for a morning.

To be honest...

Most of it she couldn't understand.

She hadn't even received any enlightenment, yet they jumped straight to the difficult material—how could she possibly understand?

Liu He Meng and Shen Hua Tang have both undergone enlightenment; now listening again, although it will be somewhat difficult, it's actually fine.

Especially Shen Hua Tang—her grandfather is Master Shen, so the family's education is certainly not lacking.

So the little girl sat upright, listened attentively, and showed little doubt on her face.

On the contrary, Liu He Meng often furrowed her brows slightly, clearly indicating she didn't understand.

However, their study progress differs, so it's not appropriate to ask too many questions now.

After the morning lessons ended, the children took a noon break.

At this time, it's just right to eat and nap.

If the weather is good in the afternoon, they can go out of the city for physical training.

If the weather is bad, they stay in the mansion and continue lessons.

As soon as he saw the morning lessons end, Prince Qi rushed over, exclaiming, "Sui Sui, Father King is here!"

Prince Qi thought, he reacted quickly, and wanted to hold the child in his arms sooner!

Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side and didn't compete with him.

She thought, the Prince's mood hasn't been great lately, so let him enjoy himself for a few days.

The Imperial Medical Institute was already calculating the prescription; they estimate they'll soon have to start giving Prince Qi medicine.

By then, he'll have to take herbal decoctions three times a day, treating the same illness...

Thinking about it, Princess Consort of Qi felt that Prince Qi's complexion wouldn't look good afterward.

He'll probably curse after each sip of medicine?

Yesterday she discussed with the mansion and came up with a list: for the concubines and attendants who wish to leave, arrangements will be made to give them sufficient silver to depart.

Princess Consort of Qi thought, the weather today isn't too great, so let's start from today.

Compared to Father King, Sui Sui naturally prefers Mother Consort more.

However, Father King came over laughing and smiling to hug her, and Sui Sui couldn't really refuse.

So she obediently let Father King pick her up, lightly rubbing against his beard twice.

It was a bit prickly; Sui Sui frowned slightly and lifted her mouth.

Prince Qi immediately understood that she felt his beard was prickly.

But this is a handsome man's beard, looking good!

Prince Qi thought while secretly reaching out to touch it.

Hmm, it's quite prickly.

Today when I go back, I'll trim the beard...

Let's tidy it up a bit.

Cutting it all off wouldn't look good.

Sui Sui still wanted to play with Mengmeng Jiejie and Tangtang Jiejie, so she perfunctorily leaned against Father King for a moment, then struggled to get down.

Prince Qi didn't stop the children from playing together.

Shen Hua Tang is a quiet little girl, while Liu He Meng is lively and noisy together.

However, once Feng Xuanrui and his group joined, the scene became even more chaotic!

At first, everyone was fairly orderly, but after a short while of getting familiar, a bunch of children shouted and screamed, running and causing a ruckus.

Sui Sui is the youngest and smallest, but everyone intentionally looks after her.

When running, someone always holds her hand, fearing she might fall or bump into something.

With someone leading her, Sui Sui runs with greater confidence.

In this way, she truly felt the joy of playing and frolicking.

"If the weather weren't bad, we'd go fly kites!"

"Even if it's bad, we can still fly them; a light breeze is perfect, and without sun we won't get burned."

"Then this afternoon, let's all beg Master to let us play for a while."

"But we don't have any kites!"

……

The children, while playing, thought of something else.

Maybe running and jumping are no longer enough to satisfy them.

Everyone discussed wanting to play something more interesting.

As a result, they discussed and discussed...

It started to rain.

Early in the morning, the sky was already overcast.

Now that it's raining, nobody is really surprised.

But since they can't go out to play, the children all wilted.

Feng Xuanrui held his sister's hand, walking toward the dining hall while muttering softly, "How did it start raining? This shouldn't happen!"

Feng Xuanbin was also unhappy, closely following behind Sui Sui; sometimes, being too close, he stepped on her heel, saying, "Exactly, exactly, I don't like rain!"

A rainy day means they have to stay indoors all day, attending lessons.

Wuu wuu!

Help!

He didn't want to go to class, he just wanted to play.

Sui Sui also didn't like rain before.

Because this meant she had nowhere to hide; her aunt disliked her being dirty and was unwilling to let her enter the house.

She either hid in a leaky firewood shed, or hid in a chicken coop that smelled bad.

Moreover, going out on rainy days was also not good; if she got wet and fell ill, no one would give her medical treatment.

Not being able to go out meant she couldn't even find food.

She could only secretly scramble for food with the chickens and ducks, and would still be beaten by her aunt.

Nowadays, Sui Sui, although she has already escaped that kind of life.

But on rainy days, many times they are bad experiences.

Sui Sui really doesn't like it.

Shen Hua Tang noticed the little girl's low spirits, and she slowly approached.

Feng Xuanrui, upon seeing it was her, was actually too embarrassed to compete with her.

Although he wasn't very willing, he also knew his sister needed a friend.

Although they wanted to be with their sister at all times, not separating, they also didn't want others to take her away.

But the sister needed one or two female playmates; when going out, so she wouldn't look too lonely.

Moreover, Shen Hua Tang being very kind, Feng Xuanrui made a slight concession.

Liu He Meng, upon seeing, also squeezed over.

Feng Xuanrui:?

You're really good at finding loopholes, huh?

He rolled his eyes at Liu He Meng, and Liu He Meng made a funny face at him.

Both immature brats were amused by their own actions; then, mutually disdainful, they each snorted and turned their heads away.

Shen Hua Tang lightly leaned over.

Her residence didn't have an older sister as big as Sui Sui; instead, she had a younger brother about the same age as Feng Xuanbin.

The younger brother was mischievous, but the older sister, having innate bloodline suppression, didn't dare to do much.

However, compared to the smelly younger brother, naturally the soft younger sister looked better.

This morning, although they didn't spend much time together, Shen Hua Tang mostly quietly watched Liu He Meng and Sui Sui play.

She wasn't jealous either; Liu He Meng came first, so it was normal for Sui Sui to be closer to him.

Moreover, Shen Hua Tang really liked Sui Sui and also didn't want to make things difficult for her.

Little sisters, after all, are better off being loved by more people.

If it weren't for noticing that Sui Sui's mood seemed not good, Shen Hua Tang actually wouldn't have come over directly.

Upon discovering Tangtang Jiejie had taken her hand, Sui Sui lifted her head and sweetly smiled: "Sister."

Her milky tone made listeners' hearts soften as well.

Shen Hua Tang thought, having a little sister really is a good thing.

Cuter than a younger brother.

She couldn't help but reach out and lightly touch Sui Sui's soft little face.

Soft and tender, also smooth.

Really nice to touch.

It feels even more tender than my own little face!

Shen Hua Tang's skin is fair, and her condition is also good.

However, having just touched Sui Sui, Shen Hua Tang thought her own face still wasn't soft enough.

Still, Sui Sui's is the nicest to touch.

After touching her, she lowered her head, leaned a bit toward Sui Sui, and softly asked: "Sui Sui, do you not like rainy days?"

The second watch is at 19:00.
