Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 181

At the same time, the eastern palace was also having its meal.

A large round table was filled with various dishes. There were five people seated.

They were all children who weren't ten years old yet.

Yi Yi looked at Luo Yu as he got rice everywhere and couldn't help but say disdainfully: "Aiya, I told you not to come but you insisted. Look, you got rice everywhere."

Luo Yu glared at her and let out a hmph, saying self-righteously: "I'm still young."

Yi Yi used a handkerchief to wipe off the rice around his mouth, "You're almost five. Still young? Ask your big bro. The two of us didn't spill our rice when we were five."

"Big bro Heng Heng is almost eight, but isn't he spilling as well?!"

The boy on the other side who was stuffing his face froze. His face was also covered in rice as he looked blankly at Yi Yi and Luo Yu.

Luo Zhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud. Next to him, Yang Nuo laughed as well.

Yang Nuo let out a sigh, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Yang Heng's face. "Can't you eat a little slower? Mom taught you countless times but you're still like this. You're making a fool of yourself, even in the palace."

"Uncle says that men have to take big bites of food and drink big gulps of alcohol to embody the true manly spirit!"

Well, it seemed that the Dingyuan Marquis had led his little nephew astray. But the Dingyuan Marquis didn't eat like this, ok?

Luo Yu was laughing loudly, his gaze provocative. He seemed to be making a show of it as he vigorously scooped another spoonful of rice and stained his face even more.

Yi Yi rubbed her forehead. This brat was too hateful.

"Big bro——look at him!"

Yi Yi used her ultimate move and summoned her big bro to deal with her disobedient little brother.

Luo Zhuo's elegant brows contained amusement as he tried to settle things, "Alright, alright. Second bro isn't normally like this either. Only when we're together is he a little more casual."

This was truly the case. Xiao Hua still didn't know what her second son would get rice all over his face when eating. Of course, it had happened before, but that was only when Luo Yu first learned to eat by himself. Now, it was no longer the case.

Yi Yi let out a hmph and couldn't be bothered to look at Luo Yu anymore. She muttered, "Look at our big bro Yang Nuo. So refined. The two of you are like bandits."

Her words didn't have any other meaning but the listener's thoughts stirred. Yang Nuo looked at the girl dressed in pink across from him. He saw her large, limpid eyes which slanted slightly upwards and her pouted little cherry lips. He couldn't help but lower his head.

After lunch, Yi Yi pulled Luo Zhuo along for a walk in the courtyard. This was something she learned from their parents, saying it could help with digestion.

Yang Nuo naturally followed along. Yang Heng and the youngest Luo Yu also came, but the two naughty brats ran off before long, presumably going to play by themselves.

Although Yang Heng was one of the crown prince's classmates in name, he never studied. Of course, he did a bit of it, but he wasn't very interested in reading. He merely followed along in learning a few words to become literate. In contrast, he was extremely interested in learning martial arts.

When Luo Zhuo turned six, the Jing Emperor assigned him extra studies. Every morning he would learn literature and every afternoon he would learn martial arts. If he had interest and talent, he could learn a little more. If not, he could treat it as strengthening his body.
