Adoption brings disaster

When I entered the palace, due to my special status, I didn't have to pay respects like the concubines. I had nothing to do every day and could sleep until I woke up naturally. When I got up, someone would serve me food, drink and play. I was really happy. Before I knew it, it was the Lantern Festival, the day when the Seventh Prince entered the cabinet.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, I got up early and led everyone in Qianqiu Pavilion to welcome the Seventh Prince at the door, just like welcoming students at the classroom door at the beginning of the school year.

But students are not like the Seventh Prince. I watched the sun climb higher and higher. I didn't know how much time had passed since the agreed time, but there was still no sign of the Seventh Prince. I was dissatisfied, but I could only hold back my anger and ask: "What time is it now?"

Chunyu saw my angry expression and was worried about me confronting the Seventh Prince. However, due to the hierarchy between master and slave, she didn't dare to say anything. She only looked at the position of the sun and said, "It's just past noon, it's noon now."

"According to the rules, the Seventh Prince should arrive at Qianqiu Pavilion at noon. It's already noon now. Does that mean he's late?"

I was angry, so I spoke rudely. Chunyu and the other servants didn't dare to breathe after hearing what I said. They could only lower their heads and pray that the Seventh Prince would come quickly.

Although I felt extremely uncomfortable, I was also worried that something might have happened to the child on the way, which was why he was delayed. Then I said worriedly, "It's been so long since he arrived, and there's no news. Could he have encountered something on the way here?"

"Your Highness, the palace is full of guards and secret guards, and the Seventh Prince is served by four great eunuchs. Which villain dares to act rashly?" Chunyu knew that the Seventh Prince was playful, but did not dare to say it directly, so he had to speak cautiously.

I thought to myself, what Chunyu said is very true. The Seventh Prince has such a powerful backer in the King of Zhenbei. Who is not afraid of death and dares to provoke the Seventh Prince? It must be that the child is playful, so let's just wait and see.

This wait lasted for most of the day. The people in Qianqiu Pavilion waited with empty stomachs. When the sun was setting in the west, they saw a little fat man, surrounded by four burly eunuchs, walking slowly towards Qianqiu Pavilion.

Taoist Tianshu had good eyesight and spotted the person from a distance. He said, "The Seventh Prince hasn't changed much since two years ago, except that he's grown a lot taller."

The Seventh Prince came closer. I suppressed my hunger and anger, put on my most amiable demeanor, pretended to like him very much, and ran up to greet him.

Then he pushed me aside like a dung ball, and I fell heavily to the ground, and my knees hurt.

I struggled to stand up, but was pushed to the ground again by the burly man behind him.

I fell twice in a row. Even though I was wearing warm clothes in winter and was not injured, I was still in great pain.

I covered my knee which was in great pain and cried out, "Ouch!" The Seventh Prince looked at me. I thought he would come over to help me.

Who would have thought that he would say to the eunuch beside him with a look of disgust: "That man is so ugly, how come he looks like a monkey?"

After hearing this, I was really angry, but I have many years of experience in education and have seen and educated all kinds of naughty children. So I held back, got up and brushed off the dirt on my body.

But if there is a anger value, it is about 30% now.

When I got up, I saw him kick Xiaoshan, who had been kneeling obediently on the ground, to the ground. After kicking him, he kicked him twice more, muttering, "This lowly slave kneels in the middle of the road, just begging to be kicked."

The eunuch behind the Seventh Prince heard this and laughed heartily, saying, "These lowly slaves are the most cunning. Your Highness gave him a kick, and who knows, this lowly slave might even go bragging to the other servants."

After hearing these words, I secretly clenched my fists. Now my anger level has reached 50%.

I felt unhappy, so I had to keep consoling myself, telling myself not to be too helpful. The child is still young, and everything will be fine when he grows up. They are all other people's children, so don't be angry.

By the time I calmed down a little, the Seventh Prince had already gone in.

I led everyone into the pavilion and saw him taking off his shoes and sitting half-lying on a chair in an awkward manner. There were four eunuchs and two guards behind him, and the other two were one massaging his legs and the other massaging his feet. He was really enjoying himself.

Seeing him like this, the helpfulness I had finally managed to suppress was about to erupt again. At this point, my anger level had reached 80%.

I gritted my teeth tightly and silently told myself not to be angry, not to be angry. I won’t be angry even if others are angry. If I get sick from anger, no one will take my place.

Just when I was about to calm myself down, the naughty Seventh Prince suddenly stared at me provocatively and laughed.

I felt like I was about to explode, but I pretended to be gentle and said with a smile, "What are you laughing at, Seventh Prince?"

Anyone with normal emotional intelligence and a little bit of common sense would know that I was about to lose my temper, but unfortunately the Seventh Prince was not one of them.

The Seventh Prince not only has no eyes, but also no brains, yet he still wants to provoke me at this time.

"You look like a monkey. No wonder your horoscope is all Yin. If I were to ask you, it's just that my grandfather is too superstitious. How could such an ugly person be compatible with me? I'm sickened just by looking at her. It really is true that anything can enter the palace."

The eunuch next to him heard this and quickly agreed, "Your Highness is right. He is like a horse that doesn't know how long its face is, and a person that doesn't say he is ugly. How dare such a person come out and scare people? If it were me, I would have committed suicide long ago."

Listening to their sarcasm, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I slammed the table and shouted, "Who am I? I'm the Minister of Qianqiu Pavilion, personally appointed by the King of Zhenbei and personally appointed by His Majesty."

I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I pointed at the four eunuchs behind the Seventh Prince and cursed, "I am your master, and just because you just acted like a traitor and slandered me, I can beat you to death."

After yelling at these servants, I felt much better. Thinking about how miserable it was for the Seventh Prince to leave his mother at such a young age and live with me in the future, I didn't want to get angry with him anymore and calmed down.

But the Seventh Prince's words made me feel that being gentle to the naughty child was being cruel to himself.

He said with disdain: "You are just a dog from outside, do you really think you are the master of the palace?"

I laughed in anger, sat down and said, "I am the Lord of Qianqiu Pavilion. Those four things behind you, once they enter Qianqiu Pavilion, they will be my slaves."

I pointed at the Seventh Prince, my eyes sinister, and threatened, "As for you, I am acting on behalf of my father. I am the father, and it is only natural for a father to beat his son. Believe it or not, I will beat you right now."

The Seventh Prince had never encountered such a thing before, and he was immediately furious. He waved his hand, pointed at me, and shouted, "Brothers, beat him up."

The four men received the order and immediately came forward with hostile expressions. Chunyu saw this and hurriedly stood in front of me and asked, "Didn't you hear me? You are of the same rank as the prince, and you are committing treason. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

The leader didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Don't say you are a fellow prince. Even if you were a real prince, we wouldn't have fought enough."

Hearing this, Chunyu's body trembled noticeably, but he still stood in front of me without any retreat.

Just when the four men were about to beat me up, Taoist Tianshu flew in and started fighting with them.

Taoist Tianshu was obviously more skilled in martial arts than the other four, but the four of them had a good understanding of each other, and for a while they fought Taoist Tianshu to a draw.

I looked at the five people fighting, pointed to the large group behind me, and said quietly, "Seventh Prince, I have more people now. If I tie you up now, can you resist?"

The originally arrogant Seventh Prince took a step back in fear after hearing this, but he still said with his neck stiff, "Don't think I'm afraid of you. If you dare to touch me, my mother, my father, and my grandfather will not let you go."

"Your Highness, we don't need them. I can do it alone." Xiao Tao, who was not afraid of death, said eagerly.

When the Seventh Prince saw that Xiao Tao was not just talking, he panicked a little and quickly called for protection.

After hearing this, the four people who were fighting with Taoist Tianshu quickly withdrew and one of them stood in front of the Seventh Prince, looking very alert.

Since one person is missing, they are obviously no match for Taoist Tianshu, and the other three can only struggle to hold on.

I gave Chunyu a look, and Chunyu quickly pulled Xiaotao to the back and gave her a few words of advice. I smiled and said, "It was just a joke. We still have a long way to go. There's no need to resort to such tactics."

The Seventh Prince was still speaking harshly, but I ignored him. Instead, I said to Chunyu, "Go to the Imperial Concubine's palace and ask how many brothers the Seventh Prince has. There are four in the palace now. Please give us an exact number. We will definitely treat these brothers as honored guests in the future."

Chunyu understood what I meant immediately and said in a pretentious manner, "We need to clarify this. Spreading rumors in the palace is a serious crime. If someone pretends to be a prince's brother, Your Highness will be held responsible if he does not investigate and report it."

"Doesn't His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince already have three brothers: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince? Where did the four brothers come from?" Xiao Tao muttered in a low voice behind him.

As Chunyu finished speaking, the leader's movements faltered noticeably. I smiled smugly and said, "Master Tianshu, if I remember correctly, calling you by your name is punishable by caning at the very least, or exile at the worst. What do you think would be the crime of impersonating a prince's brother?"

Taoist Priest Tianshu was now quite capable. Between fights, he glanced at me, exchanged a smile, and said, "I'm not entirely clear on the laws of Beishang Country, but I imagine it's no less severe than exile."

These eunuchs were afraid and knew they were no match for the Taoist priest of Tianshu Dao.

After just a few rounds of conversation, Taoist Tianshu knocked the three eunuchs who were fighting with him to the ground. Not only did they not crawl back to the Seventh Prince, but they crawled to my feet and kowtowed for mercy.

"To survive in the palace, the most important thing is to be careful in what you say and do. What on earth do you rely on to dare to call the prince brothers? Even if I kill you, your death will not be unjust." After saying this, I looked at Xiao Tao meaningfully.

"Brothers, don't be afraid of him. It was me who asked you to be my brothers. Even if mother blames me, it's my fault." The seventh prince was still shouting.

After hearing this, the four of them kowtowed even more diligently.

Seeing them like this, he felt happy in his heart. He kicked the leader's shoulder and said, "I am the boss of Qianqiu Pavilion. Be more well-behaved from now on."

I gave Chunyu a look, and Chunyu quickly led a group of people out, including the four eunuchs brought by the seventh prince.

A moment later, the Seventh Prince and I were the only ones left in the room. The Seventh Prince was now like a wounded little animal, curled up in his chair, grinning and roaring.

I looked at the vicious Seventh Prince, nonchalantly looking outside and said, "I have already dealt with your four eunuchs. The next step is to beat you."

Although the Seventh Prince was frightened after hearing this, he still said viciously: "If you dare to hit me, my mother, father, and grandfather will not let you go."

I smiled and shouted outside, "Bring me a board."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince stopped shouting and just looked outside nervously.

Soon Xiaotao came in with a board used to punish servants who had committed crimes, followed by Chunyu in a hurry.

Chunyu and I looked at each other and shook our heads helplessly. Xiaotao said excitedly, "Your Highness Yuanqing, I've brought you the board."

Xiao Tao left me speechless, but I couldn't let anyone do what they wanted, so I took the board and handed it to Chun Yu, saying, "I saw a lot of small branches on the tree in the yard. Can you break one off for me?"

Seeing that I was going to change the board, the Seventh Prince started to show off again and began to say smugly: "I will sentence you to death, break your dog legs, and let you live like animals."

The Seventh Prince's words were very harsh to my ears. I couldn't help but look outside, thinking with disgust that these four eunuchs were damnable for influencing the Seventh Prince into this state.

But now that the child is like this, it is useless to say these things anymore. It is better to discipline him first.

I patted the board in Chunyu's hand and said sinisterly, "This kind of board hurts but doesn't hurt. I want the Seventh Prince to learn a lesson. It's not suitable. A branch is more suitable. It hurts but doesn't hurt."

After saying this, he said to the Seventh Prince with a sly smile: "Seventh Prince will immediately understand my good intentions."

After receiving my order, Spring Rain soon broke off a very thin branch for me. I pretended to be satisfied and said, "Spring Rain really understands me. This one is so thin, it must hurt a lot when it hits me."

Chunyu looked at me with concern, and I smiled and motioned her to go out.

After Chunyu left, I walked over to the Seventh Prince, looked down at him and said, "I'll give you two choices now. The first is to admit your mistake to me, and the second is for me to beat you until you admit your mistake."

When had the Seventh Prince ever admitted his fault to anyone? He didn't believe I would actually hit him, so he naturally stiffened his neck and cursed, "You want me to admit my fault to you? No way. Beat me to death if you dare."

I slammed the branch onto the table, scaring the Seventh Prince into tears. I guided him and said, "If you say something wrong, I'll forgive you."

The Seventh Prince still stiffened his neck and kept silent, crying loudly. I waved the branch and almost hit the Seventh Prince several times. Seeing that I was serious, the Seventh Prince was also afraid. After a few more frights, the Seventh Prince said intermittently: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry."

I nodded in satisfaction, hugged the Seventh Prince and said, "If you make a mistake, you must admit it. Even if you admit it, you are still a great child. I will still like you, but you must work harder and be obedient in the future, okay?"

The Seventh Prince admitted his mistake, and I comforted him, and he fell into a deep sleep. I snorted coldly and decided that it was time to deal with those four evil slaves.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
