After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 31: Picking Up Someone After School

"Don't go to your father about what happened today. I don't even know what kind of person you are! Don't cause trouble for me, just stay quiet. You can bully Qi You, but you'd better behave yourself against Ji Yuan and the others. They are the princess's nephews. If they cause trouble, I, your mother, can't save you! Do you hear me?" Yan scolded harshly, fearing that her stupid daughter would do something again, so she warned her first to let her know how powerful she was.

It was rare for Qi Jiao to see her mother being so mean to her. She was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and pushed her away and ran away angrily.

"Qi Jiao!"

Yan's face turned pale with anger, and she said to the maid beside her, "Go and get her back. If she doesn't come back, tie her up and bring her back to me!"

"Yes, master."

Jinxiu Hall, the princess’s residence.

After hearing her subordinates' word-for-word report, the princess sneered twice.

I sighed in my heart, this Yan family is really like her, her children are like her, so stupid!

She raised the twins, a boy and a girl, who were originally good children, to be spoiled, domineering and brainless. But this was just the right thing, as it prevented them from obstructing her son's path and requiring her to do it herself.

However, Qi You's behavior surprised her. She had never heard him say anything before, and only in recent days did he reluctantly say a few words. She originally thought that he was a cowardly person, but she didn't expect that he was so tough.

The princess asked people to keep an eye on everything happening in the front yard school, after all, her three nephews were there.

At this time, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qin also received the news from the front yard. They were both elders in this mansion and had some connections, so it was easy for them to know these things.

At this time, Qiao Rongjin, who was talking to the craftsmen who were making the swing in Haitang Courtyard, had no idea what was happening in the front yard.

"Master Qiao, these are all your requests, right?"

"Well, that's all. Just follow the blueprint. If you need anything, just go find Qinglian."

"Yes."

In the afternoon martial arts class, Qi You and his companions arrived at the martial arts arena and saw Master Jiang in a tight outfit standing next to the martial arts stage from afar, and next to him was a plum blossom pile.

When he saw them coming, he grinned and said, "Wow, the little guys are pretty punctual."

"Wow! What a big training ground!" Ji Liang's eyes lit up, he liked it!

He prefers wielding swords and guns to studying literature, and this martial arts lesson is more interesting than those boring texts.

Next, Master Jiang taught them some basic skills, such as standing still. I heard that they only need to learn standing still in the next six months, which is said to lay the foundation for their future martial arts learning.

In the evening, what happened in Zhenwei Pavilion was reported to Prince Rui by the people below.

Upon hearing this, King Rui frowned.

Thinking about what the twins have done in the past year, their personalities are really getting more and more deviant.

How did the Yan family teach people?

It seems that I need to take some time to correct my bad habits while I am still young. Otherwise, it will be difficult to change when I grow up.

However, he didn't expect that although Xiaowu usually didn't talk and his temperament couldn't be determined, today's incident showed that he was a person who was unwilling to suffer any loss. This was a good thing, as he wouldn't be easily bullied.

He just felt bad when he thought about the lack of affection between his children. He himself had a bad relationship with his brothers, and now they were even more hostile to each other. So he always hoped that his children could live in harmony, but...

"Your Majesty."

At this time, a guard came in and interrupted King Rui's thoughts.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the guard handed the envelope in his hand to King Rui with both hands.

"Okay, let's go down."

After the people left, Prince Rui opened the letter in his hand, and his face suddenly darkened.

……

After school, Qi You and his classmates dragged their tired bodies back home.

Ji Yuan and others met Qi Shu after walking a few steps.

"Cousins, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, the three hungry people hurriedly said goodbye to Qi You and followed Qi Shu.

Coincidentally, Zhu Yun also came over at this time.

"master."

Zhu Yun saw her master looking so weak and hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask if he needed her to carry him, but when she looked at her master's big dark eyes and thought about the image he wanted to present in front of her, she decisively did not ask and just walked slowly behind Qi You.

Qi You was in a good mood today. Master Jiang had been asking them to stand still in the afternoon, but considering their young age, the time was relatively short, and they had to take a break from time to time in between, which was all within their tolerance. It was just the first time for Qi You to do this kind of standing still training, and for his small body, it was still a little too much. He felt that his physical strength had been exhausted, and now he was just asking you to grab support.

It seems that physical exercise must be put on the agenda, otherwise how can he protect his mother and give her a better life in the future?

Zhu Yun wanted to speak several times, but in the end she didn't.

Qiao Rongjin had come out a long time ago to wait for her son, but it was not convenient for her to go to the front yard, otherwise her son might have been waiting at the entrance of the school. So Qiao Rongjin could only settle for the next best thing and stand at the hanging flower gate between the inner yard and the front yard to wait.

The hanging flower gate and the courtyard wall separate the front yard and the inner yard. The front yard is mostly used to entertain guests, while the inner yard is where the family lives and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave. This is the basic knowledge that Qiao Rongjin has been cramming for the past half month.

As a modern person who traveled to ancient times, she didn't understand a lot of common sense. She could only read more books to learn more about it in case she suddenly needed it one day.

During this period of time, she has figured out a lot of things. The heroine is a time traveler, so she must be extremely careful in doing things. It is better not to expose things that do not belong to this era easily. Otherwise, if it is discovered that she and she are from the same hometown, she may attack her. After all, this is the backyard, and the heroine has traveled through time for several years and won the heart of the hero, King Rui. She is definitely not her opponent, so she has to be careful to save her life.

Today she specially asked the aunt in the kitchen to prepare many dishes that Qi You liked, intending to reward her son well. The first day of school must be very tiring. After all, she heard that they also have martial arts classes. Her kid is so young and he must be very tired.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Qi You and Zhu Yun walking towards him one after another. Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin hurriedly crossed the hanging flower gate and the courtyard wall and ran straight towards them.

Qi You also saw his mother, and a smile suddenly broke out on his pale little face, showing happiness from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't expect his mother to be waiting for him here, and he felt a little surprised.

"Son!" Qiao Rongjin saw that his son didn't look well, so he picked him up as soon as he came to him.

"Are you tired today? Look at your pale face." Qiao Rongjin felt a little distressed.

Upon hearing this, Qi You put his arms around his mother's neck, smiled softly and said, "Not tired."
