Chapter 304: Do You Understand?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Zhao’s face instantly turned pale.
No, but his father had done all these for Li Ting.
He asked someone to find a good horse for Li Ting and watch Li Ting practice his sword. His father did not do all these things for Li Zhao, but he did them for Li Ting.
“There are rumors that say that your father may not be your biological father, but your mother is your biological mother. At this time, you should stand firmly by your mother’s side. She gave birth to you for ten months and spent all these years with you. She is the one who worries about you, worried if you’re cold, or when you’re feeling too hot, worried if you ate too much, worried if you’ll be hungry, worried that you won’t study well, and even more worried that you won’t be able to practice martial arts well. Why didn’t the princess consort make a fuss when she was wronged? Wasn’t it all for you?”
Li Zhao was instantly embarrassed by Han Chi’s words.
He was thinking of both sides now.
In fact, from the very beginning, his father had never given him the chance to have both sides.
“You might think that your father is the King of Qin, so your mother has to obey him in everything. But have you ever thought that she is the mother who gave birth to you and raised you? If you don’t stand by her side, who else can she rely on?”
“Have you ever seen your father woo your mother? I’ve seen my father woo my mother before. You wouldn’t think that a person with such a dark face would be able to woo others differently. Therefore, this is not a matter of identity or personality at all. If he really had your mother in his heart, he would only want to give her the best. How could he get someone to go against her? My father made sure that the women in the residence were all working and serving my mother.”
“But he would still bring water for my mother to wash her feet and he combs her hair. He would pull my mother’s hair by accident in the beginning, but now he can comb her gently. Has your father done this before?”
Li Zhao wanted to say that he had, but it was to Secondary Consort Wen.
“My father’s gentleness and love is only given to my mother.”
“What else do you want from a person who can’t even control two taels of meat?”
“In terms of literary talent and strategist, you are not inferior to anyone. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, 1 don’t believe that you can’t make a name for yourself.”
Han Chi’s words removed the cover in Li Zhao’s heart that he was unwilling to admit.
He couldn’t even deceive himself.
“I understand. Thank you.”
“In any case, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. It’s good that you understand. If you don’t, just treat it as me talking nonsense.”
Li Zhao naturally understood.
It was precisely because he understood that he needed someone to support him.
Although Han Chi’s words were not pleasant to hear, each and every one of them hit the nail on the head.
If it were anyone else, they would advise him to give in to his father.
What about his mother?
Where did he put his mother? Could it be that his mother could only suffer for him and his sister? Will she have to remain sad forever?
Then what was he there for?
He had probably read all the books of sages into his stomach.
“Give me a jug of wine. 1 want to…”
Han Chi stood up and slapped Li Zhao’s shoulder, “What are you thinking about? Let’s go. Let’s go to the manor and ride our horses. After running hundreds of laps, we’ll be exhausted. Let those unhappy people pass. In the future, you have to make a name for yourself. Don’t let your mother lose her husband and get an unfilial son.”
Han Chi told the older boy.
Li Zhao asked his attendant to fetch his horse and a change of clothes.
Han Chi had to look for his mother and tell her about where they were going.
After Han Qiao learned about it, she only said to Li Zhao, “The edge of a sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. You are all dragons and phoenixes among men. Sooner or later, you will soar into the sky and amaze the world with a single feat.”
“I only hope that you can restrain yourselves and do good deeds instead of evil…”
Han Qiao paused.
These words could be said to Han Chi, but they were not suitable for Li Zhao.
She stopped what she was about to say, and instead, “Go.”
Han Chi took Li Zhao to ride a horse while Han Qiao took the other children to the jewelry shop. Although they had some at home, they were too good and they did not have such a background to use it. It was very inappropriate for them to wear or show it off.
Therefore, it wasn’t a bad idea to buy it from a shop.
Also, girls always had to choose something new to wear.
“Madam, look at these Southern Red pearls. The color is gorgeous and very eye-catching.” The shopkeeper brought out a few plates of South Red Scattered
Pearls.
Each size was different.
Han Qiao and Sun Xiu said, “This kind of bead will look good when we use it to make flowers. We’ll choose this small one.”
“Shopkeeper, take out some of your Jade Pearls and Green Pine Pearls.”
Han Qiao thought that Li Mi’s birthday was coming soon. It was her 16th birthday. At that time, she would invite the ladies of Chenzhou City to a banquet. At that time, the clothes worn by the girls would be especially fresh and rare. The ladies would come over to ask.
As time passed, they would naturally make like-minded friends.
Li Mi didn’t really want to go back to her manor. She sent a servant girl to ask her mother if she could stay in Heng Mansion for a night. The Gong Prince’s consort sent her clothes over, which was the permission.
After having lunch at the restaurant, the children went back to the residence and started to make pouches.
It didn’t take them long to make a purse out of beautiful fabric and sew beads on it.
They could sew them into flowers, pets…
He Cheng found his sister, “Stitching puppies!”
His little yellow dog had grown a lot and was wagging its tail behind him.
Sun Xiu’s eyes lit up, “Alright, just you wait,”
She would need yellow beads for the yellow dog, so they bought some beeswax beads from the shop.
This was done by counting the numbers.
He Cheng immediately wanted to hang it around his neck.
“No, what if you fall and get hooked? It looked especially good on your waist.” Sun Xiu hung it on He Cheng’s waist.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
If the sisters said it looked good, He Cheng would think it was good.
He nodded vigorously, “Alright, I’ll go and show it to Mother!”
He ran to the main courtyard.
Li Mi could not help but laugh.
Her other brothers would not be so likable.
“We can also make a puppy out of pearls.”
“Using white?” Sun Xiu asked.
“That’s right, a white puppy with black eyes…”
The girls had endless things to say when they got together. They were in a good mood when they did crafts together.
When He Cheng arrived at the main courtyard, Han Qiao had just finished nursing Ah-Yao.
Pucao carried the soiled diapers.
“Mother, look at the puppy! Isn’t it nice?”
Han Qiao observed it very seriously before complimenting, “It’s really beautiful!”
“I like it so much.”
Han Qiao patted He Cheng’s head, “Did your sister make this for you?”
She wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
“Yep!”
A child’s heart was pure. If he liked it, then so be it.
“Mother asked the kitchen to cook shredded chicken porridge for you to eat tonight.”
“Okay! I like shredded chicken porridge.”
Compared to the liveliness in the residence…
At the same time, the mountain stronghold was burning in flames. The sounds of fighting and the clashing of swords were endless. Corpses were strewn everywhere.
Some were still alive, while some were already dead.
Heng Yi led the charge, with Zhang Zhao, Zhu Cong, and the others beside him.
This was practically the fiercest mountain bandit nest on the border of Chenzhou. According to Zhang Huiguang, this was probably a mountain bandit raised by someone. Therefore, these people were not necessarily mountain bandits. They were actually an army under the name of Mountain Bandits.
Heng Yi came up the mountain and fought with them. He knew that Zhang Huiguang was right.
These were not real Mountain Bandits because their formation was too orderly.
His moves were vicious and murderous..
