The prince's qualifications were mediocre and it was difficult for him to hold a big position. None of the adult princes below him obeyed him, and they were all gearing up to replace him. Emperor Yuan He was old and gradually became unable to handle government affairs, which led to fights between the prince and several princes.

More and more intense.

The Thirteenth Prince supports the Sixth Prince, his brother from the same mother, and often helps the Sixth Prince make plans to win over the courtiers. At present, the Sixth Prince's power in the court has become rival to that of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and he is very likely to ascend to the throne in the future.

However, there were also people in the court who disdained the power of the dragon and turned a blind eye to the efforts of the prince and others, especially the Qinhuai faction.

Everyone knows that Qin Huai is Jing Heng's father-in-law. As long as they win over Qin Huai, they will win over Jing Heng. When the time comes, Princess Protector's reputation in the army will be able to be used by them. However, no matter how eager the prince and others are, Qin Huai will not show any concern.

Tempting.

Later, they saw that Qin Huai really only wanted to be a pure minister and would not be used by any of them. The prince and others felt relieved and had an attitude towards Qin Huai that they could neither win over nor offend him, so as to prevent him from falling to his rival's side.

Now that the thirteenth prince's concubine has offended Qin Xiaoxiao due to the dispute between the children, how can the thirteenth prince not be angry?

The thirteenth prince's concubine understood the stakes, and her face turned pale: "She, she comes from a womanly family. She didn't grow up with Qin Cifu since she was a child. They are biological father and daughter. How much affection can Qin Ci have?

How could Fu turn to the side of the prince or the third prince for her?"

The Thirteenth Prince sneered: "It depends on the owner to beat a dog, let alone the only daughter? Don't you know that of the two sets of twins born to the Qin family, one boy and one girl bear the surname Qin?"

This matter is not a secret in the capital, but no one knows whether the Qin surname follows Qin Huai, his biological father, or Qin Shan, his adoptive father.

"What's more, Aunt Huang is such a protective person. You offended her daughter-in-law, and Yao'er took the lead and seriously injured her grandson. Do you think she won't interfere with this matter?"

The Thirteenth Prince became more and more angry as he spoke, and the eyes he looked at the Thirteenth Prince's Concubine became even more unkind: "Cousin Jing seriously injured Chengyu when he was young. Not only did my father not hold him accountable for his fault, but he actually made the Crown Prince and Crown Princess suffer.

Luo, who do you think you are? It’s true that you don’t succeed enough and fail more than you do!”

The thirteenth prince's face turned gloomy, and she felt remorseful in her heart: "Don't worry, your highness, tomorrow I will take Yao'er to the Princess Protector's Mansion to apologize to the Qin family in person, so that your highness's important affairs will not be ruined."

However, the Thirteenth Prince thought she was stupid and said impatiently: "No need, it will bring shame on me if I go!"

For this matter, he could only go to the Princess Protector's Mansion in person, apologize to the imperial aunt, and then ground this stupid woman and stupid son so that they would have a good memory and not cause trouble for him when they go out.

Early the next morning, the Thirteenth Prince came to the Princess Protector's Mansion with generous gifts and asked to see the Princess Protector.

Princess Protector knew his purpose of coming, so she met him in the main hall.

After the Thirteenth Prince apologized with shame on his face, Princess Protector said calmly: "It's just a conflict between children. It's not worth your special trip. Could it be that I have a problem with a junior?"

The thirteenth prince's expression became more and more respectful: "The emperor's aunt has the capacity to accept all rivers, so naturally she will not care about this rebellious son Chengyang. It's just the son's fault for not being a godfather. Now Chengyang cannot come to apologize to his nephew Momo, but as a father he has escaped

No."

Princess Protector nodded: "As a father, you have indeed failed in your duty. Fortunately, Yao'er is still young, so there is still a chance to change his arrogant and bullying temperament. After all, this is your eldest son, and he will inherit it in the future.

of your title."

The Thirteenth Prince's expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to normal: "Thank you, Auntie Huang, for teaching me. My nephew will definitely change his temperament."

Princess Protector seemed satisfied with his attitude and waved her hand to indicate that he could leave.

The Thirteenth Prince did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, and bowed respectfully before turning and leaving.

When he got out of the gate of the Princess's Mansion and got on the carriage, he changed from his previous submissiveness and his face became gloomy. He opened the curtain of the car window and looked up at the gold-plated plaque hanging on the tall mansion door, his eyes twinkling.

Ambitious.

Qin Xiaoxiao saw the boxes of apology brought to Anyiyuan, and then she knew that the Thirteenth Prince had come. So after handling the government affairs, she went to see the Princess Protector, wanting to know what the Thirteenth Prince's attitude was.

"Originally, if he didn't come, I was planning to go into the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty. Now that he recognizes me, this matter ends here." Princess Protector was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Thirteenth Prince, and expressed her attitude to her daughter-in-law.

.

In the final analysis, it was a dispute between a few children, and neither party could find a solution. After the Thirteenth Prince came to apologize in person, it would be boring for the Princess Protector's Mansion to continue to hold on to her.

Qin Xiaoxiao said hurriedly: "Mother, I mean the same thing. We can't let outsiders say that our Princess Protector's Mansion is small-minded."

Princess Protector patted the back of her hand and sighed: "You are just too cautious and don't want to make a grudge with them."

Qin Xiaoxiao saw through her mother-in-law's thoughts and made no excuses: "What the princess said yesterday was true. Chengyi is the emperor's grandson. She can't be compared to her in terms of status alone. The reason why the thirteenth prince came to apologize today is because of you.

It’s just for my own sake.”

Princess Protector understood her concerns and had a very faint smile on her face: "Don't worry, they won't accomplish anything big, so it's nothing to worry about."

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Princess Protector had no intention of elaborating, and suggested: "As long as Ah Li doesn't make mistakes in the court, what you are worried about will definitely not happen."

Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you, mother, I understand!"

However, the Princess Protector's Mansion no longer cares about it, which does not mean that Qin Huai does not care about it. Knowing that his grandson was bullied and even his daughter was ridiculed, he secretly made the Thirteenth Prince unhappy, causing the Thirteenth Prince to be punished for his incompetence.

He Di's scolding.

The Thirteenth Prince found out that it was Qin Huai who had done something, and felt relieved. If Qin Huai had hidden it, he would have suspected that Qin Huai secretly fell in love with the Prince or the Third Prince.

Qin Xiaoxiao was naturally moved when she learned about this from Jingheng, so she spent half a month making a set of clothes, shoes and socks and sent them to the Qin Mansion.

Her red dress has never been very good. This set of clothes and shoes is not exquisite, it is just wearable. Only the person who wears it knows whether it is comfortable or not.

Qin Huai was overjoyed when he received the shoes. When he got together with some old friends, he specially put on these clothes and shoes and even showed them off in front of his old friends casually.

"Blessing" and I felt very comfortable after receiving the compliments.

In the octagonal pavilion in the garden, I sat silently on a stone bench, Huzi squatted next to me, and several maids stood outside the pavilion.

After nearly a month of recuperation, the little guy's injuries have recovered well. The bulge on the back of his head has disappeared, and most of the blood stasis in his brain has dissipated. He will be fully recovered in another three to five days.

"Huzi, pick up my takraw ball!" Momo yelled at Huzi, and threw the takraw ball forward with all his strength.

"Woof!" Like a powerful beast, Hu Zi spread his legs and rushed out. In a blink of an eye, he picked up the sepak takraw ball back and put it in the owner's hand. His big broom-like tail shook gently.

shake.

"How smart!" Momo patted the tiger's fur head, and then rewarded it with a piece of dried meat on the stone table.

Huzi is a dog, he likes to eat meat, and he has good teeth. He ate this piece of dried meat as big as a palm in a few times. However, he did not covet the remaining dried meat on the stone table, but looked at his master intently.

Waiting for the master's orders.

This time, Silently threw the sepak takraw ball into the koi pond: "Huzi, go -"

Huzi rushed out without hesitation and jumped into the pond with a "pop", which scared the koi in the pond and fled in all directions.

I saw Huzi picking up the takraw ball floating on the water and landing it. He stood far enough away from his master and quickly shook the water from his body. Then he came to the owner and handed over the takraw ball.

This scene was clearly seen by Gu Xici, who came to visit Momo. He looked at Huzi with eyes filled with wonder: "Huzi is so amazing!"

As the dog owner, he muttered: "Of course, with such a powerful owner like me, how can the tiger be so bad!"

Huzi was indifferent to Gu Xici's praise, but when his master called his name, his two dog eyes looked at him for a moment, and his tail gently shook twice.

When his good friend came, Mo Mo didn't bother to play with Hu Zi. He looked at Gu Xici and said with a slight complaint in his tone: "Why are you here just now? I can't go anywhere this month. If you don't come over, I will

I’m going to be suffocated to death!”

He said this as if he was not the one who had so much fun playing with Huzi just now.

When Gu Xici heard this, he felt guilty and said: "Brother, I'm sorry, I was grounded by my father. My father only allowed me to leave the house today after my grandmother told me."

Momo didn't expect this to be the reason, and asked with concern: "Why did your father ground you?"

Gu Xici subconsciously touched his face and said lowly: "I attacked the guests that day. My father was very angry and asked me to reflect in the yard."

It was not just as simple as being grounded. Duke Ding slapped him hard that day and knocked him unconscious. It took him half a month to recover. After that, he was grounded. As soon as he regained freedom today, he immediately came to visit Mo Mo.

Momo didn't know that his best friend had been beaten, but just knowing the reason for his grounding made him extremely angry: "How could your father do this? It was obviously Lian Chengyuan and the others who did it first. It doesn't matter if your father didn't coax you, but it's your fault."

You are really not a good father!"

His father was different. Not only did he not blame him and his brother for fighting, he also taught them how to fight back more effectively.

Seeing his good friend's sad look, he patted his shoulder silently and said generously: "Brother Xi Ci, don't be sad. Your father doesn't love you. I'll give you half of my father. My father will love you."

People!"
