Chapter 215: Powerful Genes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I wonder how Brother Hui’s children have been raised. They should be sent to the Royal Academy. No matter what, they’re of the royal family’s bloodline. If they aren’t well-educated, it will affect the royal family’s image.” Qiao Yanqi was reminding Ao Li’er that Xu Qing was only a lowly village girl and definitely wouldn’t be able to educate the children well. She would probably lead the children astray! At that time, they would embarrass the royal family.
When Ao Li’er heard this, she looked at Qiao Yanqi deeply.
This made Qiao Yanqi lower her eyes guiltily. Although her aunt treated her very well, sometimes, her aunt’s gaze made her feel a little afraid. This was because her aunt’s gaze seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, leaving her with nowhere to hide!
“The commoners are the citizens of the emperor. Our food is planted by farmers. Everything we need in life can’t be separated from the grassroots people. Xiaoqi, you’re too snobby and narrow-minded! How disappointing. As a princess, you should put the people first.” Xu Qing looked at Qiao Yanqi coldly.
Qiao Yanqi’s expression froze. Xu Qing’s words rendered her speechless. How could she admit that she looked down on the grassroots people? How could she admit that she was superior to others? If she said this today, she would be scolded tomorrow!

“I said the wrong thing.” Qiao Yanqi had no choice but to apologize. The moment she lowered her head, her eyes were filled with resentment towards Xu Qing. Xu Qing was such a nuisance!
Xu Hanxue didn’t like Qiao Yanqi, her aunt, to begin with. Now that she was snubbed by Qiao Yanqi, she was unhappy. “Grandaunt, can I play with that zither?”
Xu Hanxue pointed at a zither placed in the pavilion.
Qiao Yanqi immediately sneered inside. As expected of a b*stard from the countryside. She only knew how to play and didn’t know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! She was unworthy of being Brother Hui’s child. In the future, her and Brother Hui’s child would be the real prodigy!
Although the three-year-old children in the capital didn’t have any skills either, they weren’t so insensible. All of them already had rules and etiquette engraved into their bones!
Ao Li’er wasn’t displeased. She only smiled and nodded.
Xu Hanxue handed her little fox to her eldest brother and held her second brother’s hand as they ran to the zither. Teng Nian hurriedly adjusted the strings for Xu Hanxue. Her weapon was the zither.
Xu Hanxue sat in front of the zither that was even bigger than her. From Xu Qing’s direction, she could barely see Xu Hanxue.
At this moment, there was a clang that startled everyone. It was extremely ear-piercing.
Qiao Yanqi looked at the three children mockingly. As expected of b*stards from the countryside. They probably didn’t even know what a zither was!
However, in the next second, Qiao Yanqi felt enraged. She was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXu Hanxue’s little finger was covered with a protective cover as she began to play. Xu Tingdeng, who was at the side, also picked up the small jade flute Ao Jie had given him and played it with Xu Hanxue. The two of them had a tacit understanding and started playing a melodious tune.
She was a child after all and didn’t have much time to practice, so she wasn’t that proficient. It was already impressive that she was able to play an entire tune. Ao Li’er was amazed and her eyes were filled with memories of the past.
Qiao Yanqi clenched her fists tightly. This time, it wasn’t the cedar chair. Her fingers were about to crack, and her face was filled with resentment. These four people were indeed her nemesis! They were really infuriating! She would never admit defeat like this. She had to snatch Brother Hui back! Brother Hui was hers. They had been together since they were born, and no one could snatch him away!
When Xu Tingdeng and Xu Hanxue stopped, no one had come back to their senses yet. They were definitely prodigies. Three-year-old children actually knew how to play the zither and play a jade flute? Moreover, it was such a complete tune. How could those other self-proclaimed geniuses compete?! So these were the children of the War God? Such powerful genes!
“Brother, how did my performance with Second Brother go?” Xu Hanxue jogged to Xu Yuandeng’s side and looked at him expectantly.
Xu Yuandeng revealed a rare smile and patted his sister’s head. “It sounded excellent. You’re the best.”
Xu Hanxue smiled when she heard that. She loved it when her brother praised her.
