An Residence.
Upon hearing from Master An that Xiao Yeyang refused to set up a classroom in the Prince Residence for the royal heirs to study, the Old Madam An immediately let out a cold laugh: "This Xiao Yeyang, ever since he became the Prince of Weiyuan, has become increasingly arrogant and presumptuous."
"The princes’ education, to put it grandly, will bear upon the future development of the Imperial Family. He dares to disregard this—this is not only disregard for the princes but also for the Emperor."
"Prepare the ink for me; I am going to write to the Noble Consort right away and inform her of Xiao Yeyang’s wanton behavior in Xiliang. Let her whisper to the Emperor and not be fooled by Xiao Yeyang."
When Madame An the Third saw that her husband was about to have ink prepared, she quickly stopped him and said cautiously, "Mother, father, our family cannot afford to be on bad terms with the Prince of Weiyuan right now. Otherwise, we might lose our chance at the title of Duke of Fuguo."
Hearing these words, Master An fell silent on the spot.
Old Madam An glanced at Madame An the Third and held back any comment.
It was at this moment that Xiao Moqing came back with a pout and an unhappy face.
Seeing him, Old Madam An asked eagerly, "Did people from the Prince Residence upset Your Highness again? What in the world is that Yan Family woman doing; can’t she manage the household affairs properly?"
Xiao Moqing looked at Old Madam An with a grievance, "Old Madam, my aunt treats me very well, why do you always speak ill of her?"
Old Madam An choked on her words; being openly contradicted in public made it difficult for her to maintain her composure.
Madame An the Third glanced at her mother-in-law’s stiff face, thought it over, and still decided to ask, "Then why is Your Highness unhappy?"
Xiao Moqing immediately looked at Master An with a sullen face: "It’s all Third Uncle’s fault."
Master An was startled: "What did I do?"
Xiao Moqing: "Third Uncle, did you not speak to Uncle Prince today about sending us to the Academy to study?"
Master An nodded: "Yes, but your Uncle Prince refused."
Xiao Moqing sat down on a chair, huffing and puffing: "Not at all, Uncle Prince told us today to register at the Academy in a few days."
Old Madam An and Master An exchanged a glance—then the Old Madam’s face broke into a smile: "I thought Xiao Yeyang was so unyielding, turns out he still has reservations in his heart and knows not to neglect the royal heirs."
Master An also smiled: "Back then Xiao Yeyang’s refusal was indeed swift, but it seems he has come around afterwards."
Old Madam An: "Regardless, they are the Emperor’s grandsons, to neglect the princes is to neglect the Emperor." As she said this, she smiled at Xiao Moqing.
"Your Highness, at your age, you are supposed to study. In the future, in the Prince Residence, you must concentrate on your studies."
Xiao Moqing frowned: "What Prince Residence, Uncle Prince said to go to the National Defense Academy in East City."
"What?!"
Old Madam An and Master An were both stunned at the same time.
Madame An the Third observed their expressions and sighed to herself—why could neither her mother-in-law nor her father-in-law understand that the Prince of Weiyuan would never be led by the nose by them.
...
"Mom!"
Seeing Daozi rush into the room from outside, Xiao Yeyang quickly went up to hold the child: "Your mother’s condition has become increasingly inconvenient, from now on you must not rush in and out so recklessly."
Daozi playfully stuck out her tongue at Xiao Yeyang, then bounced over to Daohua, first touching Daohua’s belly: "Mom, did brother and sister kick you today?"
Daohua smiled and said: "Always talking about brother and sister—if one day your mother gives birth to two brothers, or two sisters, what then?"
Daozi frowned and retorted loudly: "Impossible, it must be one brother and one sister, that way I’ll have both a brother and a sister."
Guyu, hearing this, immediately chuckled: "Princess Consort, they say children’s words carry the most truth. If our Little Prince says it’s one brother and one sister, it must be so."
With someone supporting her, Daozi grinned and nodded vigorously.
Daohua laughed, petting Daozi’s head: "Then mother will borrow your auspicious words, hoping to give birth to boy and girl twins."
Suddenly, Daozi ’ah’ exclaimed in surprise, looking at Daohua: "Mom, just now the brother and sister in your belly kicked me!"
