Chapter 313
When King Zhao brought his men over, what he saw was a scene of chaos.
There were a few familiar-looking children hanging on the tree. I had seen them not long ago. They were well-behaved and smart at that time, and at first glance they looked like good little boys.
Compared to how it looks now hanging on the tree, the difference is huge.
There were many servants below, chattering and shouting, trying to comfort their young master.
Worried that someone might fall, the servants used a cloth to catch him and climbed up with a ladder...
The first thing King Zhao saw was Ji, who was standing under the tree with a nervous look on her face. He followed her gaze and looked upwards, and sure enough, he saw the little brat.
When Ruirui saw the person coming, his eyes lit up. He hugged the tree trunk tightly with his arms and dangled his short legs in the air.
The little baby voice was the first to shout: "My Lord, my Lord, look over here!"
Ji Yunqing was looking up at the brat intently. When he heard him shouting, he immediately felt that something was not right. He turned around and saw King Zhao, a living person.
However, she couldn't stop it at such a high distance.
Sure enough, this fearless kid opened his mouth and spoke.
"My Lord, call me brother!"
Ruirui raised her little feet, her bright eyes full of excitement, without any fear at all.
He shook his head and said proudly:
"I am taller than you now, by a lot, it's time for you to call me big brother, hurry up and do it"
Ji Yunqing showed a painful expression and asked King Zhao to call him Big Brother. This kid really thought of this...
After hearing this, the other people who came with King Zhao were not so angry.
Look at other people’s children, they are much naughtier than your own.
He's just a little kid but he's already clamoring to be the big brother... In comparison, my own child is just a good kid.
Isn’t it just climbing a tree?
It’s nothing.
Ji Yunqing gritted his teeth and said, "You really deserve a beating!"
She glanced at King Zhao, then quickly put her hands on her hips, concentrated her energy, and spoke loudly to the tree:
"Shut up, you little brat! This is outrageous. Your elder brother, bah, your father is your father, and you are his biological son. Who should call you elder brother?"
After saying this, she quickly observed King Zhao's expression, hoping that he would not really be killed by that little brat!
Father?
This sentence reminded him, Ruirui rolled his eyes and immediately changed his words:
"My Lord, I am taller than you now, please call me father."
"what!"
Ji Yunqing covered his head with his hands as he felt a headache, and began to wonder if he could still keep this kid.
I don’t know if what Concubine Wen just said is effective.
Concubine Wen noticed her gaze and turned her head away silently, ignoring it.
May you all the best?
Ji Yunqing: “…”
After a while, she looked at King Zhao beside her with a dim gaze and said in a firm tone:
"My Lord, as everyone knows, I have been weak since childhood and dare not even speak loudly. This child must have inherited your bravery."
King Zhao gave Ji a look and said nothing.
Ji Yunqing stopped talking for a moment. She just waited for rescue efforts to take place, hoping that the child would not be killed.
King Zhao looked at his eldest son Gu Yanzhi who was climbing a tree nearby and asked, "Zhi'er, why are you climbing a tree?"
Facing his always strict father, Gu Yanzhi lowered his head and stammered, not daring to say a word.
Ruirui quickly "whispered" to encourage him: "Brother, please tell me, tell me quickly!"
At such a young age, he was so worried that he said, "Didn't we agree that you've climbed higher, so I recognize you as the eldest brother, and I'll be the second brother. The prince is the youngest, so we recognize him as the third brother!"
Hearing this "filial piety" speech, King Zhao's face turned even darker. The people present wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so they could only hold it back.
An elderly official with a gray beard following behind stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "The child is young and can speak without restraint. Your Highness, don't worry. He will be fine when he grows up!"
"Yes, children are all like this. They will be much better when they grow up."
"Don't be upset, my lord"
Just as the officials finished comforting him, they heard the youngest one at the top say in a disappointed tone:
"Forget it, if you don't dare, then don't do it. Wait until he recognizes me as his big brother, and then you can wait to be envious!"
What children fear most is being looked down upon by their friends, especially by a kid who is younger than themselves. Besides, they are at an age where they are full of energy and fearless.
As soon as this was said, a child immediately shouted to the audience: "Grandpa, from now on I, I want to be the grandfather, and you will be the grandson. I am your grandfather!"
"Daddy, I want to be a daddy. You spank me because you are my daddy. When I become a daddy, I will spank you if you don't obey me."
He spoke more and more fluently. At first he just shouted quietly, but later his voice became louder and louder: “Also, when I become a father in the future, I, I will sleep with my mother, and you will sleep alone!”
"Is this okay?" A somewhat timid child asked happily, "Then can I, can I sleep with my daddy, no, my son?
My dad has become my son, will he become the one who wets the bed in the future?"
Several people's faces turned dark.
Especially the one who wets the bed.
The other children were surprised and asked: "You still wet the bed?"
The child realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and lowered his head with a red face.
The maids at home said that this was normal, but if he told others about it, his friends would laugh at him.
Ruirui has been actively responding since she was young, and said happily: "Ruirui also wets the bed, we are the same"
"What do you know? Of course you're a kid and you'll wet the bed... Never mind."
Several people were talking happily, feeling very confident.
They have climbed so high, there will definitely be no problem and they won’t get beaten!
Only Gu Yanzhi felt uneasy, but he saw how far his feet were from the ground.
Ruirui is just a little kid and he wasn't afraid, so how could he, as the eldest brother, lose face?
Suddenly, the back of his neck tightened, his vision blurred, and his feet landed on the ground.
Soon after, several other children were also "picked" from the tree.
Ruirui opened his mouth in surprise, watching the "prince" suddenly fly up and carry them down one by one. He was so scared that he dared not move and let himself be dragged down.
When they got to the ground, Ruirui was still in a daze, his eyes wide open, he couldn't believe it!
"You...how come you are so powerful?"
So high... so high!
King Zhao looked at the little brat leisurely, with a smile on his face: "Didn't you say you would recognize me as your third brother? Why don't you say it anymore?"
The child is just young, not stupid. Looking at the man who is much taller than him, Ruirui no longer has the arrogance he just had.
He swallowed and shrank his neck.
"Big, big brother, you are the big brother, I was just talking nonsense"
Gu Yanzhi had already stood there with his head down, not daring to say a word. He only called out cautiously, "Father!"
King Zhao sneered: "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve to be your father."
Hearing the slapping and crying sounds one after another, Ruirui became anxious.
He puffed out his chest, opened his round eyes, looked straight at King Zhao, and said in a loud voice:
"This was all my idea. If you want to fight, just fight me and don't fight them!"
"Humph, you are really loyal!"
The little fat boy who was beaten and screamed was hugging the tree, shouting heartbreakingly: "Good brother, you are not the only one who climbed the tree, don't think about bragging about it later!"
“I climbed too!”
"Grandpa, I'm just climbing a tree."
"You little brat, are you just climbing a tree?"
Although beating children outside is not a good idea, it’s okay if colleagues are doing it.
