Chapter 319: with translation of chapter title

Prince Qi heard that the book sister was still unwell, and he frowned: "Has Guó Gōng recently become itchy for trouble? With those few women in the rear courtyard, he can't manage them at all."

As for others' family affairs, the Princess Consort of Qi is not accustomed to meddling or interfering.

However, the affairs of Guó Gōng's manor have become somewhat more complicated.

The wife of Guó Gōng is the Princess Consort of Qi's maternal cousin, and Guó Gōng is also the elder brother of Ren Ce Fei.

This complicated relationship also makes the two mansions somewhat closer than other mansions.

However, Guó Gōng is a person who is easily swayed and lacks his own opinions.

He is even more of an expert at idling away his days than Prince Qi.

He lives his daily life in a muddled way, and as for the rear courtyard, he mostly pays no attention.

Although, this is also due to various grudges from the previous generation, leading to the current situation.

However, Guó Gōng's slackness is still hard to tolerate.

It's no wonder that Ren Ce Fei, whenever she returns to her natal family, loses her temper and causes a scene.

Upon hearing Prince Qi say this, the Princess Consort helplessly shook her head: "Lord Guó Gōng doesn't handle affairs; most of the manor's matters still have to be upheld by his lady, my cousin… she has many things to look after, and there are times when she can't manage them all."

So, someone took advantage of the loophole.

After hearing that, Prince Qi rolled his eyes unhappily.

After thinking, he asked in a low voice: "Why not have Ren Xiu go back and cause a fuss? When she goes back and makes a scene, it will surely be useful."

The Princess Consort did not agree: '…Isn't that a bit too much? If we keep doing this, what will become of Ren Xiu's reputation? The second son is already at the age to discuss marriage.'

Ren Ce Fei is a concubine of the Prince's household, but her status differs from that of a regular concubine.

Therefore, when discussing marriage, her being the birth mother of the second son must certainly be taken into consideration.

Prince Qi heard this and snorted three times: "What reputation does she have? She even dared to strike my head; what is there to fear?"

That old matter has long passed, yet when Prince Qi brings it up now, his resentment is still strong.

The Princess Consort listened helplessly and could only go along with the prince's words: "Then let her return to the manor for a visit?"

After hearing that, Prince Qi thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not interfere for now."

We can't rely on them to stir up trouble all the time.

He also doesn't want to meddle in others' family affairs!

Thinking of these, Prince Qi weighed Sui Sui in his arms and said: "It's better that we be good, everyone else are big bad guys."

Sui Sui wanted to say, Father King speaking like that is very impolite.

But then she thought Father King treats her well, so she could be a little biased and pretend not to hear!

Thinking of this, the little girl guiltily rolled her eyes, then snuggled into Father King's embrace.

The little darling actively snuggled up, which made Prince Qi feel pleased enough to be smug.

Turning his head again, he saw the two brats picking their noses, even comparing whose nasal mucus was bigger, and instantly his vision went dark.

Damn it!

What are you two doing??? Stop it immediately!!! Prince Qi felt his breath catch in his throat, almost unable to control a scream.

Upon seeing this, the Princess Consort also noticed; the veins on her forehead almost bulged out, and she could only lower her voice and softly shout: "Little Six!"

Feng Xuanrui was stopped in a second; he instantly threw the nasal mucus he had been playing with between his fingers into a handkerchief, then placed the handkerchief aside, sat quietly and properly, appearing well-behaved.

Feng Xuanbin's action was a step slower, but it was still smooth and practiced; one could tell he had done this many times before.

Watching this scene, the Princess Consort felt as if something were choking her chest.

Don't do this and hurt Mother Consort like this!

She usually teaches the children proper etiquette.

Today's incident is just an accident, an accident! Prince Qi felt this scene was truly unbearable to watch, and he also feared it would corrupt his dear one.

So, Prince Qi slightly turned his body aside, also pressing Sui Sui against his chest so she couldn't lift her head to look.

Sui Sui knew nothing of it, only thinking Father King liked her and wanted to snuggle with her.

The little girl happily kicked her legs.

The Princess Consort didn't want to scold the children in public, so she could only glare fiercely twice: "Behave! Don't play with everything!"

When the Princess Consort doesn't smile, her appearance is still somewhat intimidating.

Moreover, the two children themselves felt guilty, so they quickly sat properly and nodded, saying: "All right, Mother Consort, we'll be good."

Princess Consort: …! You call that being good?!

So infuriating.

But one must maintain dignified propriety.

Fortunately, for the rest of the journey, the two children did not cause any more trouble.

Otherwise, the Princess Consort felt she would lose control of her temper and would have to publicly reprimand them thoroughly.

They set out early, so when they arrived at Lanruo Si, it was still before noon.

After the party disembarked from the carriage, the servants went to the dining hall to settle in, while Prince Qi and his party first went to the main hall to offer incense.

After offering incense, they could also go listen to the sutras.

Prince Qi couldn't sit still, but since Sui Sui wanted to listen, he endured it, holding the child and sitting there.

If he weren't holding a child in his arms, Prince Qi felt he could have fallen asleep.

But no! He's still holding the dear one, and since we've come, our hearts must be sincere.

Can't sleep! Thinking this, it actually works quite well.

At least, while listening to the sutras, although Prince Qi couldn't remember everything he heard.

But he felt his soul seemed to have been purified by the Buddha, his spirit becoming much calmer.

In short, after listening, it felt quite pleasant.

After it ended, as noon approached, they should also go to the dining hall to have their vegetarian meal.

Prince Qi is a meat-eater; going a meal without meat feels unfamiliar to him.

However, recently Liu Dafu has advised him to watch his diet; it's not that he must eat vegetarian, but he certainly can't continue eating large amounts of fish and meat as before.

When he was in the mansion, it was still fine; daily there were still some meaty dishes.

He came here…

Is it okay…

It's either green or white.

It's so bland it makes one's heart feel cold.

However, Prince Qi thought, sincerity, sincerity, his heart must be sincere.

For the sake of his dear one, this green and white, all-vegetarian fare, is also not inedible.

He can eat it, he can eat it!

Prince Qi gritted his teeth and ate a vegetarian meal.

Sui Sui isn't picky; she thinks everything tastes good.

Even though she has already eaten mountain delicacies and seafood in the Wangfu.

But a child who has endured hardship will not easily complain that the food is not tasty.

Moreover, the vegetarian meals at Lanruo Si are indeed quite good.

Watching Sui Sui eat with relish, Prince Qi felt his appetite returning.

Without realizing it, he had eaten two steamed buns.

When he came to, there was only a little clear broth left in his bowl of vegetables.

Prince Qi:? Eh? How did he eat it?

How does he have no memory of it?

Prince Qi couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute it to Sui Sui being truly amazing!

He raised his hand and gently touched Sui Sui's little ear.

Sui Sui's cheeks puffed up from eating, and she looked at Father King with a puzzled expression.

Her cute appearance makes one want to kiss her face right off! Such a cute little dear, she is his daughter!

Thinking of this, Prince Qi thought: just eating a bit of vegetarian food, he can really manage it! Moreover, he can also focus on the afternoon sutras!
