Chapter 359: Children's Complaints
Chapter 359: Children's Complaints
A trace of fear still lingered on Sui Sui's face.
But upon seeing her father's expression, it turned into relief.
The little girl, realizing what had happened, suddenly raised her arm and hugged her father's neck, her voice trembling and choking, "Father, boo hoo, I'm scared."
The young princess clung to him, shivering, and King Qi's heart melted with concern for his daughter.
Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, he heard Feng Xuanrui's voice from above, "Father's here? Well, here I come too!"
As he spoke, Feng Xuanrui prepared to jump down, right into King Qi's arms.
King Qi:?
His pupils dilated instantly, and he unconsciously took a step back, his face clearly showing his thoughts: Don't come over here!
His body couldn't handle little six's impact.
If he jumped down, both he and Sui Sui, along with Little Six, would be injured!
Feng Xuanrui saw the fear in his father's eyes and laughed heartily, "Father, I'm just joking, hahaha..."
Before Feng Xuanrui could finish his laughter, He Dai, who was climbing up, gave him a push, "Go on, jump into your father's arms!"
He Dai's push wasn't very forceful, but Feng Xuanrui was unprepared. To scare his father, he had let go with one hand, and he hadn't grabbed on again.
He Dai pushed the hand that Feng Xuanrui was using to hold onto the artificial mountain, and in his surprise, he let go with both hands. His body stiffened as he fell backward.
He instinctively tried to grab onto something, but he only grasped air, "Ahhhhhhhh!"
Feng Xuanrui couldn't help but let out a terrified scream as he fell.
King Qi was also startled, his pupils contracting again. He reflexively reached out with his other hand to catch his son, but the quicker Sui Si took a step forward and effortlessly caught Feng Xuanrui.
Qing Shan also rushed over, but he wasn't as fast as Sui Si.
This made Qing Shan a little dejected.
You have to know that since they returned from Qingzhou, he and his younger brother had been diligently training their bodies and learning martial arts.
But today, his reaction wasn't as fast as Sui Si's!
Qing Shan felt a bit of frustration, but he didn't dwell on it for too long. He soon clenched his fists, thinking to himself: Since I haven't practiced enough, I'll just practice like crazy from now on!
Seeing that Sui Si had caught Feng Xuanrui, King Qi breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he hugged Sui Sui tightly and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, your brother is fine."
He Dai, who was lying on the artificial mountain, was also startled. He had only intended to scare Feng Xuanrui and didn't think about actually pushing him down.
When Feng Xuanrui fell, he was so scared that the scream caught in his throat didn't come out. Instinctively, he lay down on the artificial mountain, afraid that his soft legs would not be able to support him, and he would fall again.
Now that he saw Feng Xuanrui had been caught, He Dai's pale face finally regained some color. He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
King Qi didn't want to scold the children too much, so he simply gestured for someone to pull the children who were still lying on the artificial mountain and give them a brief teaching. Then, he let them play some safer games.
King Qi was also going to take Sui Sui to the front yard to introduce her to some people.
So, he soon hugged Sui Sui and led Feng Xuanrui's brothers to walk forward.
Liu He Meng and Shen Hua Tang hesitated for a moment before temporarily deciding not to follow.
He Dai had made a mistake, and now he was very careful. Feng Xuanrui was not here, so he couldn't directly admit his mistake, and he also felt a bit embarrassed about it.
Young Master He was torn.
At this moment, Feng You Tan had already successfully bumped into Xu Ming.
Xu Ming was quite angry.
He had just been teased by a group of friends, and he was already furious. He chugged two cups of wine, and after getting a hint of the alcohol, he intended to tease the maids in the royal palace.
Xu Ming's face turned beet red, and his eyes bulged with anger. He had just been goaded by a group of friends, and now, on top of that, along came Feng You Tan, crashing into him with her little cart!
Totally unprepared for this collision, Xu Ming managed to dodge at the last moment. If he hadn't reacted so swiftly, his head would've smashed into the cart, causing serious injury!
Xu Ming's eyes blazed with fury as he leaped to his feet, his mouth opening to unleash a torrent of abuse. But then he saw who was in the little cart, and his anger froze in his throat. It was the princess, Feng You Tan, also known as the Sunny Princess!
How could he, of all people, dare to berate the princess?
Her status was already enough to give him pause, but on top of that, she was also under the care of Honorable Consort He. If he dared to speak ill of her today, tomorrow, the Honorable Consort could send people to his house to return the insult!
Being chastised by the Honorable Consort was still a minor concern. If he were to displease the Emperor, the consequences would be far more severe!
Xu Ming gritted his teeth, forcing himself to swallow his anger. Not only could he not retaliate, but he also had to take the initiative to apologize.
After all, she was a princess.
Her status alone dictated that even if she had been the one to crash into him, he would still have to admit his fault. Otherwise, if he incurred the wrath of the royal family, the days ahead for the Jinyang Marquis would be even more challenging!
Xu Ming's eyes turned as red as a rabbit's as he forced himself to bow and apologize to Feng You Tan, his teeth clenched so tightly that his jaw ached.
Feng You Tan accepted his apology nonchalantly, lifting her chin slightly and waving her hand dismissively. "Never mind, this princess won't bother with such trivial matters."
Ren Zinan witnessed this entire farce, but he wisely kept his distance. His status might be impressive among others, but it would mean nothing in the face of royalty.
Moreover, due to the enmity between the previous generations of their families, the princesses of Chengguo had to tread carefully before the royal family.
Thus, Ren Zinan chose to avoid this mess altogether. He discreetly took a few steps back and then quickly melded into the crowd, disappearing in the opposite direction.
"Ah, there's Cousin Ren!" Ren Zinan's eyes widened as he spotted his uncle, Qi Wang, approaching with Sui Sui in his arms. "I'm outta here!"
He knew his uncle didn't think highly of him. Rather than risk an encounter and a subsequent lecture, not to mention the possibility of his aunt taking the opportunity to give him a beating, he swiftly picked a direction and strode off.
"Why does that uncle of mine have to be so stern?!" Ren Zinan grumbled to himself as he put some distance between them. "If he liked to drink and gamble so much, why didn't he just do that instead of coming to hit me?!"
His aunt was too fierce. Ren Zinan grumbled, his face twisting at the memory of how his aunt would never hold back when striking him, especially aiming for his face. Just thinking about it made him reluctant to go out.
Qi Wang didn't notice Ren Zinan's hasty retreat, but Sui Sui did. She pointed in the direction her cousin had fled and tattled, "Father, that brother has a mistress!"
A child's logic wasn't always clear. Moreover, Sui Sui's understanding of the concept of a mistress was rather vague.
She vaguely recalled her brothers mentioning something about those people keeping mistresses, and even that it was two brothers sharing one.
While Sui Sui hadn't grasped most of it, this detail had stuck firmly in her memory. Thus, as she pointed in the direction Ren Zinan had fled, she quickly added, "And it's the two of them keeping one together!"
Qi Wang: ?
