CHAPTER XVII

Ye Li pulled Ye Qian and went back to her yard.

Lu Fei and Mama Feng also came back, Bai Zhen was startled when she saw Lu Fei's face, she heard that her own girl and the third girl had a dispute, but she didn't expect to make a move.

Mama Feng comforted: "It's okay, I'll give Miss Lu Fei some medicine, it won't leave a scar." "This green jade is a faithful protector, and she likes it very much.

Lu Fei gratefully followed Mama Feng to the wing room, Bai Zhen followed Ye Qian into the main house, but Ye Li took Ye Qian into the study of the west room, drove Bai Zhen out, and closed the door.

"Qianqian, come here." Ye Li sat on the chair, holding the ring ruler in his hand, and his face sank like water.

Ye Qian's little short legs moved little by little, but the study was so big, no matter how small her steps were, she arrived in front of Ye Li after a while.

"Hold your hand out."

Ye Qian slowly put her little fat hand on her brother's lap, with her palm facing up.

The ring ruler in Ye Li's hand rested on her soft palm, and Ye Qian's small body shook involuntarily.

"Does Qianqian know what she did wrong?"

"I, I shouldn't be with Ye Rong...... I quarreled with my third sister, but she snatched the grasshopper that my brother made for me! Ye Qian said, aggrieved again.

"Not this." Ye Li's starry eyes closed painfully, his sister was the person he cared about the most, he had personally taken care of her since he was a child, and every time he punished her, it would make his heart ache, but she was still young, and there were some things that had to be taught.

Ye Li's thumb rubbed her small palm, and said in a deep voice: "Qianqian, how many times have I told you, no matter what, you can't go to dangerous places, water and fire must be kept away." Ye Rong obviously wants to cause the past, she wants to push you into the water. Qianqian, think about it, what if she succeeds? What if the water is deep? "He heard that his sister had an accident in the martial arts arena, and the person who came to report it couldn't say clearly, only that someone had fallen into the water, and God knows how scared he was at that moment.

His thumb left her palm, and the ring ruler he held in his other hand was raised, and with a "snap", it fell down heavily, and the white and tender palm suddenly turned red.

Ye Qian's body shook suddenly, tears were holding back tears in her big apricot eyes, and her little pink mouth was pursed deadly.

"Qianqian, think about it, if something happens to you, how can my brother live? How can a mother live? ”

Ye Li took her little hand away from her lap and put one of her hands on her lap, "However, Qianqian is still young, no matter what she does wrong, it is my brother who has not taught me well, and my brother will punish himself." As he spoke, he raised his ruler and slammed it three times into his palm.

He was reluctant to hit Ye Qian, but it was different to hit himself, the calloused palm suddenly cracked, and red blood oozed out.

"No!" Ye Qian screamed and held her brother's hand in her arms, "Brother, don't beat yourself, I'm wrong, hit me, hit me!" ”

Ye Li sighed, put the ring ruler aside, and his palm fell on Ye Qian's head, "Qianqian, promise my brother that you will never go to a dangerous place again, do you hear?" ”

Ye Qian's tears rained down, and she nodded desperately, "Promise, remember, no more, no more, no more, danger, place." She sobbed with tears, and finally finished a sentence in fits and starts.

Ye Li pulled his hand out of her arms and hugged her to his lap, "Good, Qianqian doesn't cry." ”

Outside the door, Mrs. Hou's tears also fell.

When she heard that something had happened to her daughter, she struggled to get up and let a stout mother-in-law carry her on her back and wanted to go to Shou'an Hall, but she was too slow, and halfway through, the maid who went to explore the road said that her daughter had returned to her yard. She was not at ease, so she turned here again and heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters.

Without a father, and the mother's body is not angry, the two brothers and sisters who have no one to teach are so sensible, Meng sighed silently, how fortunate she is to give birth to such an outstanding son and daughter. If one day, her body can get better, no matter whether Hou Ye can come back or not, she will do her best to take good care of this pair of children.

*

After Ye Li left, Ye Qian stayed in the study alone and thought silently for a long time.

Mama Zhao took the ointment, looked at the door of the study, and called softly: "Girl? ”

"Well, come in, Mama." Ye Qian replied lightly.

When the sky was dark, Mama Zhao turned on the lamp, walked to Ye Qian's side, took her little hand and saw that there was a red mark in her palm. Mama Zhao picked out a little ointment, smeared it on her, rubbed her fingers carefully, and said distressedly: "Pity my good girl, she will be punished if she is frightened, and the prince is too ruthless, the girl is his own sister, how can he do it." ”

"Mama."

"Huh?" Mama Zhao raised her eyes to look at Ye Qian.

Ye Qian's black grape-like apricot eyes stared at her seriously, "Don't say anything about my brother's no, not a word." ”

Mama Zhao's heart jumped, she gently slapped her mouth, and said with a smile: "Look at the old slave's mouth, you should hit it!" How dare Mama arrange the prince of the world, it's just that she feels sorry for the girl. ”

Ye Qian didn't speak.

Mama Zhao couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, she didn't dare to speak again, and only carefully applied the ointment.

That night, King Yu knew what happened in the Hou Mansion.

King Yu was so angry that he couldn't wait to go over and clean up the people of the Hou Mansion one by one, in addition to Mama Feng on the surface, he also installed a few inconspicuous people in the Hou Mansion, but he ordered that unless the little princess was very dangerous, they didn't have to take action. He wants her to grow up carefree, but he doesn't mean that she only has contact with people who are good to her, that will only raise her crookedly. He hoped that the little princess would be able to see people in shape, have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and the good and evil of people's hearts, and even if he had the opportunity, he would like to take her out of the house and go out for a walk.

After being angry, King Yu touched his smooth chin and said secretly, this Ye Li is really a good seedling, obviously no one taught him, he didn't grow crooked at all, and he personally taught a good sister out. You must know that he is the same age as Ye Li, and his arrogance in this life is deliberate, but in his previous life, he was really a gentleman, and he didn't wake up until after the death of his mother.

Ye Li is young, but he is very mature, probably because his father suddenly disappeared, his mother was sick in bed, and he had a young sister who needed him to take care of. Although he beat Ye Qian, King Yu also had to admit that he did the right thing, Qianqian is still young, and some things must be taught. What's more, he punished himself more heavily, and the precept ruler that Qianqian suffered was just a meaning.

Well, he kind of likes this uncle. Let Ye Li and Ye Qian's mood calm down first, and in two days, he will personally go to Jiping Hou's Mansion.

Early the next morning, the Qi family was about to go to the big flower hall to discuss matters, when they heard that the governor of the Yuwang Mansion was here, and he wanted to see the person in charge of the Jiping Hou Mansion.

Qi hurriedly went to see him.

Changshi said: "I heard that there are two maids in your mansion, slandering our future princess Yu, and destroying the gift given by His Royal Highness King Yu, His Royal Highness was furious and sent this official to ask how your mansion plans to deal with these two lawless maids." ”

Don't look at him as the chief of the palace, subordinate to the prince's mansion, but he is also an official of the five products, and this time he came to ask on behalf of the king of Yu, Qi did not dare to slack off, and said busily: "Those two maids will be sold." ”

Changshi said: "It is natural to sell it, but they broke the gift given to the future princess by His Royal Highness King Yu, but they can't go unpunished, so let's do it, everyone will lose one hand." ”

"Yes, yes, I see." Qi secretly complained. She had already promised Ye Rong to secretly leave these two maids behind, anyway, Ye Li was often in the outer courtyard, and she didn't know these maids. Even if he knew, he could pretend to sell it and send it to Zhuangzi. I didn't expect Yu Wangfu to personally inquire about this matter, and if he scrapped a hand, where could he still sell it to a good family. She dared to fool Ye Li, but she didn't dare to fool King Yu.

The governor of the palace said: "The three girls of your mansion slandered our future princess Yu and pushed her into the water, trying to say that our future princess is a cold-blooded and ruthless person who kills her siblings, I don't know how your mansion plans to deal with it?" ”

Qi Shi was really panicked now, she was able to send two maids, but she was reluctant to punish Ye Rong, "This, she, she's still ...... young"

"Since she is still young, she has to teach her well, and she must be punished if she makes a mistake, so that she will not do it again next time, Mrs. said, right?"

"Yes, yes, punish her for three months and copy the female commandment thirty times......" Qi Shi looked at the face of the palace governor, "No, punish her for being grounded for half a year, and copy the female commandment...... A hundred times! ”

The governor of the Yu Palace, Shi shook his head, "The grounding and copying the female commandment, that is the teaching of the three girls in your mansion, not a punishment, according to the rules of our Yu Palace, it is necessary to slap the mouth of the red mouth and white teeth to slander others, not to mention to slander our future princess Niangniang." The official brought the grandmother who was in charge of the execution, and asked the lady to bring out the three girls from your mansion. ”

"No, don't be so strict, their sisters are just joking......" Qi was frightened when he heard that he was going to slap his mouth, and it was still the people of the palace who were executing. You must know that this palm mouth is very knowledgeable, a powerful mother beats people, the voice is not loud, and the appearance of the injury is not bad, but the meat inside can be broken.

Changshi was not embarrassed by the Qi family, "Since Madame thinks that our Yu Wangfu has handled it unfairly, then our prince has no choice but to ask His Majesty for a holy rulingβ€”β€”"

"No, no, don't go, sir!" The Qi family is in a hurry, who doesn't know that the emperor loves the youngest son of King Yu the most, and let the emperor pay it back, I'm afraid it won't be able to end it with his palm, "I'll call her out!" ”

Soon, a mother-in-law came out with Ye Rong on her back, she felt the wind cold, wrapped in a thick cloak, and the mother-in-law put her on a chair.

Ye Rong asked in a daze, "Mother, what did you ask me to do, I'm uncomfortable." ”

The grandmother from Yuwang's Mansion stepped forward, and the two mothers-in-law behind her supported Ye Rong's shoulders one left and one right, so that she couldn't move.

"You, what are you going to do?!" Ye Rong only realized that something was wrong now.

Mama made a straight face, "You slandered the future princess of our Yu Palace, and you should slap your mouth for thirty according to the law." ”

"You, how dare you!" Ye Rong struggled desperately, "Mother, let them go!" ”

She fell into the water and became sick again, she had no strength in her body, and she couldn't break free from the grip of the two mothers-in-law no matter what, Qi turned her head and couldn't bear to look at her.

Mama stood in front of Ye Rong and said coldly: "It stands to reason that you have to use a mahogany board to slap your mouth, after all, the identity of the third girl is different from that of ordinary slaves, so the old body will directly serve the third girl with her hands." After she finished speaking, she raised her palm and slapped it.

There was no crisp "pop" sound, only the dull sound of the palm and delicate cheeks trying to touch, but Ye Rong was so painful that she even got stuck screaming.

Mama's subordinates didn't stop, and they pumped twenty times in one breath, Qi Shi saw that Ye Rong had fainted, a blood line was winding at the corner of her mouth, and her cheeks were faintly black and purple, and she knelt down with a "poof", "Please be merciful to Mama's subordinates and spare her life!" ”

The grandmother didn't even look at her, and hit her thirty times neatly, then she stopped and glanced at Qi, "Madame, please get up, the old body can't afford such a big gift from Madame." The third girl was just slapped in the mouth, her life was worry-free, and the lady was too panicked. She looked down on this mother and daughter very much, who in Kyoto didn't know that His Royal Highness King Yu was arrogant, but the mother and daughter didn't pay attention to it, and they still wanted to learn from the little princess. Even if His Royal Highness doesn't like the little princess, that's his face, and he can't tolerate others to rub it round and flatten, not to mention that His Royal Highness sees the little princess as if she was the meat on the tip of her heart, how can she let others move her fingers.

Mama and Changshi completed their tasks and said goodbye, Qi hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to carry Ye Rong back to the house, and sent someone to invite the doctor over.
