Chapter 1071 22 Perfect Plan
Chapter 1071 22 Perfect Plan
They knelt down in the hall one by one and admitted their mistakes, saying that it was all their own idea.
He took all the responsibility on himself, leaving his two younger sisters out. This made Cen Yuan's expression slightly relieved.
This brat is quite responsible!
Er Er immediately knelt down and rushed to say that it was her idea.
San San still had tears on her cheeks. Seeing this, she quickly knelt down beside her sister and stammered that she also had a share.
Seeing that the children were aware of this and were united and friendly, Cen Yuan's anger completely disappeared.
It happened that Ye Baoer came back from training at the arena, and rushed over when he smelled the smell. It protected the three children the most, especially when it saw that San San's tears were still there, it roared at Shi Anxia and then at Cen Yuan, telling them not to embarrass the children.
San San hugged the dog's neck and cried even harder.
Who can bear this scene? The sons are responsible, the daughters are conscious, and the three little ones bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes are really heartbreaking.
In addition, she had to give Ye Baoer some face, so Cen Yuan waved her hand and asked the children to get up from the ground. Thinking about the palace rules and family rules, she also abolished them.
Only An Xia knew that her husband was still too straightforward and could not outsmart the children.
She still stayed in San San's bedroom that night. Before she went to bed, she gathered the children together and said, "Do you feel guilty for plotting against your father?"
As soon as the queen mother said this, several children showed unnatural expressions on their faces.
Shi Anxia looked at Er Er, "This was your idea, right?"
"It's me..." Yi Yi rushed to admit his mistake again.
Shi Anxia glanced at her son and said, "It's good for you to protect your sister. It's also good for you guys to stick together."
Er Er raised his calm eyes and suddenly said, "Mother, since everything is good, why do you want to expose me?"
Indeed, there are several plans.
San San succeeded in keeping his mother in the palace, which was one thing. If his parents exposed his lie, there would be another.
Being caught red-handed by the father like today was actually part of Er Er's plan.
Even after being caught, it was planned in advance to let Yi Yi take the lead and bear all the responsibility.
At that time, Er Er said, "Father likes to see men take responsibility. As long as my brother takes the responsibility first, and San San and I rush to acknowledge it, Father will think that the three of us are united and friendly. Once his heart softens, he will definitely not blame us, and will even abolish the palace rules."
She also said, "If Ye Baoer is here, this plan will be twice as effective."
Er Er had planned everything out perfectly, and every step was under her control, keeping her father in her grasp.
She originally thought that the matter had come to a successful conclusion, but her mother's words exposed her mistake.
So the queen mother is still the queen mother, she is more thoughtful than the three little ones combined.
Shi Anxia did not blame the children. Instead, she asked the three children to describe the incident in detail from their own perspectives.
She even pointed out what should be improved in the entire process and what loopholes there might be.
Er Er raised his eyes, his eyes were dark and calm, and he was wise beyond his years. "Mother, you don't blame me?"
Shi Anxia thought for a moment, "From a parent's perspective, I have to blame you for manipulating our father. You shouldn't use your thoughts to deal with us. Er Er, am I right?"
Er Er thought about it and nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he said, "But we have to practice. There is no one else in the palace who can intrigue with us."
Shi Anxia wondered, "Why do we have to intrigue against each other?"
She asked herself whether she and her husband had done their best to create a relaxed and happy environment for the children.
Yi Yi answered, "Because we are the princes and princesses, we are born with a mission. In the future, the princess needs to marry someone else, and San San is so... naive, she will be eaten by others."
In fact, he wanted to say "San San is so stupid", but in the end he took care of his sister's self-esteem and changed his words temporarily.
San San couldn't help but shrink into her mother's arms, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes, "Mother, San San is scared, San San doesn't want to be separated from her brothers and sisters..."
She also felt that she would be eaten by bad people.
Shi Anxia held the little girl in her arms to comfort her, and then asked, "Where did you hear that the princess wanted to marry a foreign prince?"
Er Er pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and answered, "One time I went to pick up my father after the court session and heard the court officials talking about it. They said that my mother was a princess who was married to a foreign country, and that it was natural for a princess to marry a foreign country, just like a minister being loyal to the emperor and enjoying salary."
Shi Anxia thought about it, considered the wording, and patiently explained, "It is true that your mother is a princess who was married to a foreign country. But your mother and your father were married long before he ascended the throne. At that time, we all lived in the North Wing, and he was your mother's consort. Do you understand?"
Yiyi and Erer nodded to show that they understood, but Sansan looked confused.
Shi Anxia gently stroked San San's hair and explained softly, "The princess's marriage is actually a stopgap measure when the country is not strong. If it is strong enough, no one will dare to attack. Why would we need to break the golden branches to make arrows?"
Er Er understood, "So Father is very hard-working." She paused, then looked at her brother, "Crown Prince will also have a hard time in the future."
Shi Anxia touched her mature and sensible daughter lovingly, "As long as your father and Yi Yi continue to create an iron-clad prosperous era, the princess will not have to marry. Do you understand?"
Yi Yi straightened his back suddenly, "My son will work hard for his sister."
Shi Anxia smiled and reached out to gently stroke the black jade Qilin pendant hanging on Yi Yi's waist. "Everyone says that your grandmother favors boys over girls and gave the best jade pendant to Yi Yi. In fact, your grandmother thinks that you have a great responsibility, Yi Yi, and you have to protect your two younger sisters for the rest of your life."
She then said to Er Er, "You too, have done a great job by caring for San San with all your heart. You also need to read more and broaden your horizons, so that you can distinguish between good and evil."
Er Er is well behaved.
Shi Anxia told Cen Yuan about this. Cen Yuan was very proud of this. "Er Er is so thoughtful at such a young age. She doesn't have to stay in the backyard when she grows up. I think she is smarter than some of the stupid officials in the court."
"Do you want your daughter to be a court lady?" Shi Anxia smiled.
"That's fine. We should appoint people based on their merits." Cen Yuan found an opportunity and vaguely revealed the emperor's intention to the children.
From that day on, Yi Yi suddenly seemed like a different person, studying and practicing martial arts more diligently than usual.
Er Er and San San were also like this, and stopped sewing. Er Er loved to read history books, and San San loved to listen to her sister's stories.
The children were all busy with their own things and all went to school in the palace.
The day became less noisy and suddenly quieter.
On this day, Cen Yuan returned from court, the sleeves of his dragon robe still stained with the scent of the Qingyu Palace. When passing through the Imperial Garden, he suddenly saw a branch of green peach leaning sideways, just wet with the rain from last night.
He casually broke off one and when he stepped into the hall, he saw Shi Anxia holding a scroll by the window, his eyes vague and distant, as if he was thinking about something.
