Chapter 1077: Chapter 877: Picking on the Weak

After they got to know each other, the Emperor pointed to the training grounds and said, "Normally, your father has always encouraged you to practice diligently, but you guys always find this or that reason to avoid learning. Using official duties as an excuse, the third prince is always out enjoying himself, and the fourth... Well, let’s not talk about him since he’s now leading troops in Dashun. The fifth prince is always focusing on poetry and song, and you, the sixth prince, always use your young age as an excuse. Now, your father wants you to compete against each other and see who comes out on top."

The third prince, who was always shrewd, immediately interjected after the Emperor finished speaking, "Father, that’s not fair. The eldest prince was a General, so naturally he is stronger than us in this regard."

The Emperor immediately rebutted him, "Then why don’t you mention that he was bedridden for half a year? When he was sick, you didn’t see him; except for his eyes, he couldn’t move a thing. Today is his first day out and about. If he had another month or so, then that would really be unfair."

The third prince didn’t dare to speak anymore.

The competition started quickly, the first event being archery.

There were five targets, each person had five arrows, and after the first round was fired, an eunuch came to report to the Emperor.

The Emperor was now sitting on the side of the training field, someone holding an umbrella for him, while he leisurely drank his tea.

"The results are in: the eldest prince hit the bullseye with all five arrows, as did the crown prince. The third prince hit four out of five, the fifth prince hit four out of five, and the sixth prince hit three out of five."

"Understood, next one."

The eunuch immediately went to arrange the next event, which was the Long Spear contest, but because those present were the noble princes, they used wooden sticks instead, and each person was also given a shield.

This time, the matches were one-on-one duels, with the victor facing the next challenger. ’Wild Brother’ volunteered to fight first, eager not to give the impression he had an unfair advantage, fully aware that the first to fight would expend the most energy. Although he wasn’t completely confident about his stamina, winning was not his prime objective.

Unexpectedly, these princes, who had all equally been subjected to martial training from a young age, proved no match for ’Wild Brother’.

The eunuch went to report to the Emperor again, "Your Majesty, in this competition..."

Drinking tea, the Emperor said, "No need to tell me, I can see for myself this time."

...

Nan Feng noticed it was almost noon and ’Wild Brother’ hadn’t returned yet, so she sent a palace maid to check on him.

They say that children are the number one killer in marital relationships. Although Nan Feng had returned to ’Wild Brother’s’ side, Xiaobao wasn’t like other children in the palace who could be easily left with a wet nurse. Xiaobao was the kind that would cry if separated even for half a step. Moreover, Nan Feng did not want to entrust her child to a wet nurse.

And for some reason, Xiaobao seemed to have a slight aversion to ’Wild Brother’, possibly fearing that he would steal his mother’s affection. Whenever she saw ’Wild Brother’ getting close to Nan Feng, Xiaobao would get upset. As a result, the couple couldn’t even share a bed at night. Taking care of a child was also extremely exhausting, and by the time Xiaobao was asleep and Nan Feng finally had a moment to herself, she would be so tired that even if ’Wild Brother’ tried to be intimate, she would fall asleep on him.

’Wild Brother’ was also trying his best, but perhaps because Xiaobao had once been frightened, he was especially sensitive. He was so sensitive that the moment ’Wild Brother’ got close, he would burrow into Nan Feng’s arms, seemingly afraid of tall men. On the other hand, he had no guard up against the shorter eunuch in the palace and would sometimes even pick on the little eunuch.

Even a child knows to pick on the softer target.
