Chapter 309: The Concubine Who Is Unkind to Her Mother (3)
An Nan saw the fourth prince Qu Weiyuan again, it was after five days of grounding, the injury on the knee of the fourth prince had been healed, and the emperor personally took him to An Nan's palace and warned An Nan that if he treated the four princes like before, he would hand over the four princes to other childless concubines to bring.
Now it is that Nian did not deprive her of custody in the case of her first offense, but next time she will not be easily spared.
The emperor was obviously very worried about An Nan, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the fourth prince: "Yuan'er, if your mother still treats you badly, you can tell your father!" ”
The fourth prince nodded weakly, and glanced at An Nan cautiously, obviously having a psychological shadow on An Nan...... What a sin.
After the emperor warned An Nan, he left, leaving behind the four princes who stood in front of An Nan with their heads bowed and cowering.
The fourth prince is only six years old, and his height is only up to An Nan's waist, which is not tall, I don't know if he was already stunted or tortured like this by the original owner.
He was stiff when he faced An Nan, as if he was ready to bear the beating at any time, cowardly and uneasy, although An Nan was not a good person, but looking at the human cub was like this, it was also a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought of his younger brother An Di in the previous world, who was raised by her to be lawless, confident and flamboyant, naughty and mischievous, where would he be so cautious as the fourth prince?
It's not that An Nan didn't have children in the previous world, but those children were healthy physically and mentally and had never been tortured, but the fourth prince was different, he had been abused by his biological mother for a long time, and the psychological trauma had been formed, and it was very difficult to let him return to normal and grow up healthily, especially if she, the culprit, wanted to change and regain his trust, which was even more difficult.
An Nan had a great headache, looked at the four princes who hung their heads and said nothing, sighed, and said, "Okay, the mother concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will not assign you extra homework in the future, let alone beat and scold you." I know you don't necessarily believe me now, but I'll do it, time will tell, now go back to your room. ”
The fourth prince listened to her words, was silent for a while, and then quickly glanced up at An Nan like a timid rabbit, lowered his eyes quickly, and said in a low voice: "It's useless to be a retainer...... It's not as good as the eldest brother and the second brother...... It's also good for me that my mother asked me to do more homework......"
As soon as An Nan heard his words, he knew that he was educated and trained by the original owner, and now he can reflexively say these duplicity, obviously the original owner asked him to repeat these words to brainwash him, saying that he was for his good, and now even though An Nan has admitted that he has done something wrong, the four princes still have not let down their guard, and they still say these things that the original owner forced him to say.
"No, what I did to you before was wrong, I apologize to you now, in the future, your studies will naturally be taken care of by your masters, I will not interfere, at most I will check whether your homework has been completed, and the rest will not be taken care of, there is a specialization in the art industry, anyway, the master's knowledge is much better than mine." An Nan said sincerely, hoping that the fourth prince could understand that she was sincere in saying these words.
The fourth prince obviously didn't expect that the concubine, who was strict and fierce to him in the past, would now bow her head and admit her mistake to herself, he stared at a pair of black eyes in shock, a little incredulous.
Seeing his innocent little appearance, An Nan couldn't help but want to touch his head, but unfortunately the fourth prince took a step back abruptly, dodging An Nan's outstretched hand.
An Nan stretched out his hand in a daze, and the fourth prince's face suddenly turned pale, thinking that An Nan was going to beat him, An Nan saw his ugly face, and quickly put down his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to touch your head, not to hit you, okay, I won't touch it now......"
The mother and son stayed awkwardly for a while, and finally An Nan asked the palace maid to take him back to the side hall where he lived, which ended the meeting.
It's a pity that there are no books on child psychology for her reference, so An Nan has to think hard about how to rebuild the mother-son relationship with the fourth prince.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the theory that she didn't know where to see it at the beginning, saying that the company of pets can effectively treat children with psychological trauma, so An Nan called the palace maid excitedly: "Has the cat and dog room recently paid tribute to any strange and beautiful puppies?" Forget it, I'll see for myself! ”
The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and persuaded her: "Niangniang, you are still in the lockdown period, and you can't leave the palace gate......"
An Nan froze suddenly, she forgot about it, she had to laugh dryly: "The people in the cat and dog room can always see me, right?" You go and get people, I've got something to ask them! ”
The palace maid was embarrassed and said, "But...... You've only been grounded for a few days, and you've started to have fun, won't the emperor like it? ”
An Nan snorted coldly and said, "He just didn't allow me to go out, and he didn't prohibit others from coming in, and I just asked the people in the cat and dog room, where is it fun?" Go and find someone, I'll take care of it!" ”
The palace maid persuaded a few more words, but An Nan didn't listen, so she had to take the order to go to the cat and dog room.
In fact, An Nan is not worried that the emperor will blame her for this trivial matter, after all, although she is not liked by the emperor, she is a high-grade concubine, she just wants to raise a dog, and she doesn't bother him, and she doesn't beat the child.
It is estimated that the emperor is annoying her now, and he doesn't want to look at her, so as long as An Nan doesn't do anything excessive and step on the bottom line, the emperor doesn't want to deal with her.
The people from the cat and dog room soon came, and An Nan asked him directly: "What precious and cute puppies are there in the cat and dog room recently?" I want to get one. ”
The eunuch replied, "Hui Niangniang, the Gallic kingdom has recently paid tribute to several puppies called butterfly dogs, whose ears resemble the wings of butterflies, hence the name, they are petite, mild-tempered, and their fur is black and white, fluffy and soft......"
With his description, An Nan's mind suddenly appeared with the appearance of a butterfly dog, which seemed to be quite cute, but this beautiful and small dog is more suitable for girls, but the dog that An Nan wants to raise is used to accompany the four princes, so the butterfly dog is not very suitable.
"Anything else?" An Nan asked.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting An Nan to take a fancy to the butterfly dog he highly recommended, but he quickly and cleverly introduced other breeds of dogs.
In the end, Annan chose the border collie dog that was paid tribute by the Anglo state, this kind of dog is very intelligent and has always been used by people to shepherd sheep, so it is easy to be trained, good at communicating with its owner, loyal and gentle, and has a strong ability to understand and learn, so it is very suitable to accompany a little boy like the fourth prince.
