"Hey, the view isn"t so bad!"One fine afternoon, Wei Yi Yi snuck a few snacks into Jiang Chen, pick him up like a bag of sack, climb a tree then jumped off to the roof nearby.
The child surely received some trauma today.
"Stop looking down! Looked infront! Also take out the food so we can have our little picnic."
Jiang Chen felt like vomiting when he sees the ground. They are way too high up. This is place that people shouldn"t be at.
With his aunt urgings, he have no choice but to finally turn his gaze upward.
Ah, The sky is clear and the horizon is indeed beautiful.
He felt peaceful up until he realised that they have viewing pavilions for this sort of activities!
"When I was young, my brothers would take me to climb trees. Lil" one, you are a guy so once your bones grow stronger, aunt will take you to learn to climb by your own."
He look at his imperial aunt with hatred. They did this to you, so now you"re taking it out on me!
But Wei Yi Yi, whose used to his silent glares by now, ignore him as she take out a book to read.
"Imperial aunt, this place is not safe." her nephew respectfully remain him.
"Don"t mind the small details. Anyway, remember to remain me to bring a cus.h.i.+on next time, ok?" she replied casually.
For a child, Jiang Chen is quite sensible and quick witted, even so, he did not get his imperial aunt. She does not act like an empress, she reads all day and then flaunts him to her shoulders to take out when she is bored.
Also, she have a habit of cutting the fruits into either a flower or an animal. Even pastries are are prepared this way. Should an adult be this childish?
"Lil" one, when will you start schooling?"
Kindergander starts at 6 years old right?
"Schooling?....There"s a tutor that supposed to teach me to read and write but imperial uncle said that he wanted to personally nurture me." He is still a child as he still couldn"t hide his complaints in his voice.
He knew that his uncle is trying to delay his learning in hope he turn stupid. But even so he have no right to demand his majesty"s time.
Also, just trying to survive inside the palace is hard enough!
"Hmmmm then since boss is busy with work, this bro will be the one to teach you to read," Jiang Chen look shock at his willful aunt. Wei Yi Yi ignore him as she continue, "In exchange, you"ll read with me my books! Then let"s talk about our favorite characters. Of course we will start with children stories."
While young, we should nourish our fellow comrades! Being a bookworm is a profession you will not regret! This brother here is the best guarantee you will have ah!
"Ah!!! Your majesty! Why are you up there?! Someone get the ladder! Someone come immediately! Oh buddha His highness Prince Chen is also there! Help! Imperial guards, help the empress!"
When the two looked down, Jiang Chen immediately felt faint again seeing they are so high up while Wei Yi Yi immediately recognized Ah Yuan from all his frantic shouting.
Tang Mei on the side have become so speechless she doesn"t even want to react anymore.
"Oooppss"
It was an understatement to say that the inner palace have gone crazy that day.
------
"So you got beaten by a servant because you were glaring at them? And you did not fight back? Jiang Chen have you forgotten that you are still a prince?"
s.h.i.+fting her gaze from the book she"s reading, she looked at her imperial nephew that she tie up with rolls after rolls of bondage. Now he looked like a small coc.o.o.n. Her voice is serious but her eyes is smiling.
"Imperial Aunt won"t understand it." Jiang Chen answered bitterly.
He came to a point that if his reply to his aunt is not asking for a beating, it is so sarcastic Wei Yi Yi would past him to Tang Mei. All the proper courtesy flew up the window.
How could he not? This adult is unbelievable! If she did not roll him on a towel, she would bury him with piles of bedcovers. She said it was "planting" him!
"Ah Chen, Aunt will tell you, a tank is a punching bag, a fighter tank is good for 1v1, but a ranger is best for making trouble but not taking the aggro." Wei Yi Yi educate her nephew.
With his brows cras.h.i.+ng, he replied, "This nephew does not understand what imperial aunt is talking about."
"It means you could make troubles but let other clean it up for you. Either don"t let caught or pa.s.s it to someone. Isn"t aunt here? Also we have boss!"
The small child looked like he was enlightened and agree to the plan immediately.
At the side, Tang Mei who was cover with cold sweat. The small prince have yet to grow up and with just a few days on her mistress care, he"s slowly picking up the empress bad traits! And the empress did not even thought once that she was teaching a child anything wrong.
Wei Yi Yi picked up a rabbit apple to feed the small coc.o.o.n.
"Imperial aunt, why do you cut the apples this way?" Jiang Chen ask.
"Isn"t it for them to become appetising for you? Eat more, kids like cute things, right?"
Children should be rounder.
"Aunty, eating cute things is a waste." he said while nibbling at the rabbit apple. So much for being a waste.
"Your highness! Your speach is falling ah!"
Tang Mei felt so bitter, she tried to chock back her imaginary tears.
