I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 1069 - Chapter 1069 Countermeasure

Chapter 1069: Countermeasure Chapter 1069: Countermeasure Editor: Atlas Studios When the four children woke up, they were greeted by Mu Yangling’s dark expression and the boy-girl twins who were screaming excitedly for no reason.

Mu Yangling said sinisterly to Little An and the other two, “You’re really bold to even dare to release snakes.

As punishment, you’re not allowed to ride horses for six days.

Also, each of you has to write 500 words.” Little Lion asked with a trembling voice, “Mother, can you punish us when we return to the capital?” “No, the punishment will start tomorrow.” “Mother.” Tiger Head and Little Lion quickly hugged their mother’s legs.

“We won’t dare to do it again.

Please punish us only after we return to the capital.

You can even double the punishment.” Little An also tugged at Mu Yangling’s sleeve and said, “Fourth Aunt, we know we were wrong.

Please forgive us.

This hunt doesn’t even take place every year.

If you don’t let us ride horses, what’s the point of us coming here?” “No, otherwise you won’t learn your lesson.

Can snakes be released casually?

Even if you complain, it’s better than scaring people using snakes.” The three children hugged Mu Yangling pitifully and cried, refusing to let go no matter what.

How much preparation had they done for this autumn hunt?

If they couldn’t ride horses, wouldn’t it all be for nothing?

Qi Wensu looked at the three brothers in a daze.

He knew that they had gotten into trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, he pleaded for them in a low voice, “Fourth Aunt, please forgive them.” “You’re asking me to forgive them even though you have no idea what they did?” Mu Yangling said with a straight face, “No, anyway this is just my punishment to you.

The will be more from the other adults.” Tiger Head cried even harder.

The boy-girl twins jumped in fright and looked around curiously.

Suddenly, they covered their faces and pretended to cry.

Then, they put down their small hands and made shy gestures at their older brothers.

Meanwhile, the people outside were shocked by the cries that erupted from the tent.

The guards looked at each other, not knowing if they should go forward and ask.

When the Emperor received the news, he rubbed his forehead and asked, “Isn’t Prince Rong resting here?

Why are the children still crying so miserably?” “Your Majesty, there’s Her Highness, too.

From what I see, Her Highness didn’t look quite happy.” Eunuch Wan carefully arranged the Emperor’s clothes.

The Emperor’s expression darkened slightly as he asked, “Concubine Zhao is holding the Second Prince captive again today?” “Yes.” Eunuch Wan hesitated for a moment and said, “I heard that in the Empress’s tent, the Princess Consort almost had an argument with Concubine Zhao.

This afternoon, the Second Prince rested in the tents of the Young Masters.” “In order not to embarrass Wensu, don’t send Concubine Zhao back to the palace.

Get someone to announce her sick for a few days.

I’ll leave the Second Prince in the care of Princess Consort Rong for the next few days.” “Yes.” Eunuch Wan bowed and left.

After the Empress found out, she said to Mu Yangling, “Look, I said you didn’t have to worry, right?

His Majesty is sharp-eyed and won’t allow the Second Prince to suffer.

Many people think that the peace in the harem is my credit, but in fact, this is all His Majesty’s doing.

If he were like the other Emperors and used the harem to balance the court, I wouldn’t be able to suppress so many women no matter how capable I am.” Most importantly, Qi Xiuyuan was upright and did not use his sons as a tool for personal gain.

That was why the harem was so peaceful.

“Still, it’s only possible because you’re upright.

Otherwise, even if the Emperor wishes for peace in the harem, it won’t be possible.” Li Jinghua smiled and glanced at the children walking in front with their heads drooping.

She asked with a smile, “Are we really punishing them by forbidding them from riding horses for six days?” Mu Yangling nodded.

“You’re too ruthless.

There’s only one autumn hunt a year, yet you’re disallowing them from riding horses for the next six days.

I think they must be regretting it now.” “Serves them right.

If they go without a beating for three days, they start wreaking havoc.

It’s not as if I don’t beat them up enough, but they never remember the lesson.” Li Jinghua glanced at Qi Haoran, who was beside the Emperor, and said, “I’m afraid Fourth Brother won’t be able to withstand the pleading of the children.

When the time comes, you have to give him some face.” The sun gradually set in the west, and the counting of the prey was completed.

Today’s hunting champion was Qi Haoran.

After Qi Xiuyuan rewarded him, tonight’s banquet began.

Although it was called a banquet, they actually served all kinds of roasted meat using the prey they had hunted today.

Among them, the deer that Qi Xiuyuan had hunted with the first arrow was considered the most precious.

All the officials who were rewarded with this venison stood up gratefully to express their gratitude.

Little An and the others watched with relish and also took a bite of the venison on the plate.

After comparing the two, they felt that they were about the same, which made them wonder what made their Royal Uncle’s venison meat so precious.

Little Lion leaned in front of them and said, “I heard that this is because Royal Uncle is the Emperor, the most powerful person in the country.

The words he says are imperial edicts that no one can disobey.” Tiger Head rolled his eyes and asked, “If Royal Uncle says that we can ride horses for the next six days, will Mother revoke the punishment?” Little Lion and Tiger Head looked at Little An.

Little An thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.

“In theory, that’s true, but you have to think carefully.

If we use tricks, I’m afraid the punishment will be doubled when we go back.” “We’re not afraid.” Tiger Head and Little Lion patted their chests and said, “There’s only one autumn hunt a year.

We can withstand any punishment after that.” Little An looked at Qi Wensu and asked softly, “Is Royal Uncle aware that Fourth Aunt punished us by forbidding us from riding horses?” Qi Wensu said hesitantly, “I don’t think so.” “That’s great.” Little An waited for everyone to finish toasting before leading the twins forward with a cup of fruit juice.

He said crisply, “Royal Uncle, we wish to toast you too.” Qi Xiuyuan still remembered how calm they were when they were caught with the snakes today.

He looked at Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran, picked up his wine cup, and asked, “What are you toasting me for?” “We wish Royal Uncle blessings as vast as the East Sea, a lifespan as long as the South Mountain, and that everything unfolds as you wishaEUR|” Nice words jumped out as if they were free.

Qi Xiuyuan laughed out loud and said, “Considering it’s not my birthday today, these blessings aren’t suitable for the occasion.

Alright, just say what you want.

There’s no need to flatter me.” The accompanying ministers also looked curiously at the three Young Masters.

Little An couldn’t help but smile shyly and say, “Royal Uncle, we don’t want anything.

It’s just that this being the first time we’ve seen so many friends, we’re in high spirits.

In the past, we thought that our riding skills were already considered impressiveaEUR”even if not the best among our peers, at least ranked at the top.

But today, we realized that there are many people with excellent riding skills in this world.” Qi Xiuyuan nodded and encouraged them to continue.

Little Lion continued, “This is what my mother often saysaEUR”that there’s always someone better out there.

Therefore, we feel that we can’t be shortsighted and instead ought to set our sights further and learn more.” Under Mu Yangling’s glare, Tiger Head shouted, “So, Royal Uncle, let us hold a children’s horse race tomorrow so that we can learn from each other.” Li Jinghua almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qi Xiuyuan turned to look at the Empress.

Seeing her smiling and shaking her head at him, he understood after some thought.

Just as he was thinking about how to reject them, Little Treasure and Little Bear jumped out and said, “This is a good idea.

Not only can children compete, but there are also youths.

It’s better to split them into one, two, and three different categories by age.” Seeing that the children were all looking at him eagerly, Qi Xiuyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

He nodded and said, “Alright, you can compete tomorrow and give it a try.

Any child who is interested can sign up.

There’s no need for youths to compete in horse racing.

Let them compete in hunting instead; let’s see who catches the most prey in three days.” He pointed at Qi Haoran and the generals and said, “The few of you don’t have to participate.

Give the juniors a chance.” Everyone smiled kindly and agreed.

In order to prevent Mu Yangling from punishing them, Qi Xiuyuan said to the children, “Then you have to rest well tonight in preparation for the competition tomorrow.” The children agreed joyfully.
