Where has Xuan Ge’er ever suffered from this kind of loss? With a loud cry, he started scuffling with Xiaobao.

Xiaobao was a lot younger than him. Naturally, he’d be the one to suffer. Fortunately, Yan Ge’er, who was the same age as Xuan Ge’er, also joined in. No matter how powerful Xuan Ge’er was, he could only get beaten.

But Xuan Ge’er wasn’t stupid either. Seeing Xiaobao call for help, he also knew to do that and called Yan Ge’er and Hao Ge’er to help him.

The five children started fighting on the spot. Several palace maids and eunuchs stepped forward and tried to stop them with little success. Anxious, they could only pace at the side.

Seeing both her brother and Xiaobao on the losing side, Zhuzhu also went to help. However, her arms were small and her legs were short. She had no way to squeeze herself in and could only stay by the side. It was Yueyue who was the smart one. She brought the bamboo horse that Xuan Ge’er was playing with earlier, and used the stick end to beat Xuan Ge’er and the others.

Hao Ge’er, who was hit by the stick, turned around and started to chase after Yueyue. Now there remained three against two. Neither side was able to achieve an overwhelming victory, they were evenly matched.

When Yaoniang and Jin Wang arrived at Qin’an Hall, they were faced with the following situation.

The faces of the children were bruised green and purple, and there were even fingernail marks on their faces. Their clothes had turned crooked from all the yanking. The few palace maids and eunuchs who were watching from the side immediately dropped to their knees in fright. They saw that the situation wasn’t good, so they called for others to come help stop them. However, the wounds that were left couldn’t be instantly healed.

Since they were about to leave the palace, they naturally needed to pick up their own children.

Therefore, not only did Jin Wang, Yaoniang, Lu Wang, An Wang, Dai Wang, and the others all come, but also people from Duke Zhenguo’s family. Duke Zhenguo Shizi’s wife heard that her daughter fought with someone and that the other party was the emperor’s grandson.

When she arrived, upon seeing all the princes and consorts standing in the room, she was too frightened to make a sound. She simply rushed up to hug Yueyue, who had also received a hit on the face.

“What the hell is going on?” An Wang was the oldest here, so naturally, he spoke first.

His son was also beaten. Although Hao Ge’er was not born to the consort, he was born to one of the more favoured concubines of An Wang. This child was smart, so he was quite favoured by An Wang.

The maid on the side didn’t dare to hide anything and told the whole story.

However, afraid of being punished, she didn’t dare to say that it was due to the servants’? neglect that caused the group of imperial grandchildren to fight.

In the end, they were hit fifty times with the wooden board. Xuan Ge’er and the others were in the wrong for bullying the younger kids, but Xiaobao and the others were the first to attack. Since it was only a bunch of little kids fighting, most of the adults no longer pursued the matter. As for the injuries, none of them were serious. After all, how strong would a three or four-year-old be?

The one who was injured the most was Xuan Ge’er. His face was all red, and he was still crying.

Xiaobao was a devious child and knew to pinch the other party in places where there was more meat so it wouldn’t be obvious.

Lu Wang’s heart was in pain. Despite his many wives and concubines, he only had this one son. At home, the little tyrant was used to looking down on others, but now he was beaten to this state. It’d be weird for Lu Wang to simply drop the matter like that.

Since the culprit was Xiaobao, he went straight to Jin Wang.

“Fifth brother, one wouldn’t have thought that despite your child’s size, he’s certainly someone who can make trouble.”

Jin Wang didn’t like the look of Lu Wang’s narrow eyes, trying to find fault.

He simply sneered and didn’t speak.

“Your son beat my son,” Lu Wang continued to complain.

“How old is my son, how old is your son? Why didn’t you ask him why he was beaten?!”

“Fifth brother, are you saying that my son deserved the beating?”

“Well, what do you think? Why don’t we go for a practice round together? This prince hasn’t been evaluated in a long time. How’re your martial arts coming along?”

Seeing Jin Wang narrow his eyes at him, Lu Wang immediately relented.

He was arrogant, but not stupid. Back when he was younger, Jin Wang had given him a beating more than once due to his terrible temper. The most aggravating thing was that his martial arts were good enough to beat many experts, but he was still unable to beat the seemingly weak Jin Wang.

He wasn’t able to win a single fight. Up until the point Jin Wang left the capital, whenever his hands grew itchy and he tried to mess with Jin Wang, he was given a violent beating.

“You’re too arrogant and unreasonable!”

Lu Wang, who was well known for his arrogance, actually called someone else arrogant and unreasonable. This was simply unprecedented!

Jin Wang couldn’t be bothered to care about him. He glanced at Yaoniang and said, “Let’s go.”

Yaoniang carried Xiaobao and followed Jin Wang to leave.

Qing Wang laughed and motioned at Consort Qing. Together, they brought their children away.

Outside the palace gate, Yu Chan approached them.

The children were all brought here by Emperor Hongjing’s people. The maids and wet nurses who were brought in from outside the palace weren’t allowed to get too close to the group of children. Everyone who was serving alongside the children belonged to Emperor Hongjing. This was to prevent scheming people from taking advantage of the children’s ignorance to harm them. But in the end, it was impossible to prevent this kind of thing and they could only do their best to reduce the risks. Preventing potential sources of danger from getting too close to the children is one of these methods.

But then the children started fighting amongst themselves with no one to stop them.
