Chapter 179: Being Beaten Every Year
"What did you say?"

It was New Year's Day, and Ling Chengze, who was in a good mood, narrowed his eyes instantly after hearing what the cub said.

Ling Suisui thought that the constant sound of artillery fire had affected his father's hearing.

So, she tilted her little head back and repeated it again very loudly.

"Daddy, Sui Sui said——"

"If you kowtow to Sui Sui, Sui Sui will give you a red envelope!"

Ling Suisui repeated it very loudly and clearly this time.

Xu Yao also heard this.

It was New Year's Day, Xu Yao frowned, not wanting to beat the kid.

So, she gave Ling Suisui a look, telling her to stop while she was ahead.

In this way, she would just treat it as the little girl's innocent words and not take it seriously.

But when Ling Suisui saw her mother winking at her, she blinked her eyes, thinking that her mother also wanted a red envelope.

So, the generous Zi Zi treated everyone equally and said, "Mother, if you kowtow to Sui Sui, Sui Sui will also give you a red envelope."

Xu Yao: “…”

Xu Yao's little face turned green.

I saw Ling Suisui was about to give red envelopes to other parents.

Xu Yao grabbed her.

“Ling Sui Sui!”

Xu Yao was almost mad at her.

This little fat kid can melt people's hearts when he is well behaved, but when he gets naughty, it's really hard to stop him!
Xu Yao was considering that it was New Year's Day, so she didn't deal with the little fat boy like she did in the past.

She just held the fat kid's palm and slapped him hard a few times.

"Let you talk nonsense!"

"You even asked your father and mother to kneel down before you. I think you deserve a beating again."

Ling Suisui's palms are delicate.

She was beaten so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. She looked so pitiful.

"Mother is bad!"

"During the New Year, children are not beaten."

Ling Suisui cried and said that children should not be beaten during the New Year.

Xu Yao saw her crying and was afraid that she would make a scene and attract attention.

So Xu Yao lowered his voice and warned the little fat boy.

"Sui Sui, if you cry again, I'll hit you with more than just these two palms."

"You decide what to do yourself."

Ling Suisui: “…”

Ling Suisui immediately stopped crying.

She didn't dare to say goodbye to her mother.

She knew that her mother really beat her child!
"Open your mouth."

After Ling Suisui stopped crying, Xu Yao fed her a candy: "Okay, stay here, we will go home later."

The palace was bustling until night, and then Ling Chengze and Xu Yao took Ling Suisui back home.

They returned to the East Palace together.

The lights in the Winter Palace are ablaze tonight, and they will remain on until tomorrow morning.

Ling Suisui played for a whole day. When she returned home, she lay in Ling Chengze's arms and soon fell asleep.

Xu Yao looked at her chubby face as she was sleeping and reached out to pinch it.

"After a whole day of crazy, it's finally quiet now."

The sleeping baby looks so soft and cuddly, and really invites people to hug and pinch him.

Xu Yao looked at her, and her motherly love returned.

Ling Chengze also looked down at the fat kid in his arms. He chuckled and said, "She's been very busy today. By the way, she received a lot of gifts and red envelopes today. You can get them for her later."

"Otherwise she'll carry it with her and cry if she loses it."

Xu Yao: “Yeah.”

Xu Yao usually gives Ling Suisui pocket money, but she still won't give her large sums of money.

The reason why she didn't give large sums of money was simple. First, the little one was running around and jumping up and down all day long, and the money would be lost if left with her.

Second, she is still young, and Xu Yao doesn't want to raise her in a way that doesn't take money seriously.

"Yaoyao, are you tired today?"

Ling Chengze held the little fat boy in one hand, and reached out with the other hand to hold Xu Yao's hand. Xu Yao's hand was held by him, and he wanted to pull it away but couldn't.

"It's okay. I can adapt."

Xu Yao said, looking at Ling Chengze: "You have been tired during this period."

Ling Chengze has been much more tired than Xu Yao during this period.

He has a lot of state affairs to take care of.

As for Xu Yao's matter, except for the stressful matter of preparing the antidote, the rest of the things were not stressful for her.

The young couple looked at each other, and Ling Chengze couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Xu Yao.

"Don't, Sui Sui is still here."

Xu Yao pushed her. In front of her little fat boy, Xu Yao was always uncomfortable with being too intimate with Ling Chengze.

In order to divert Ling Chengze's attention at the moment, Xu Yao simply asked him about other things.

"The princess hasn't seemed quite right these past two days. Has something happened to her?"

Xu Yao was observant and had already noticed that something was wrong with the eldest princess' condition.

After hearing her talk about the eldest princess, Ling Chengze fell silent.

"What happened? Tell me."

"It's okay, I'll take care of her problem."

Xu Yao: “…”

Xu Yao paused and asked, "Is it inconvenient for you to talk about her? If it's inconvenient, forget it, I won't ask."

Xu Yao stopped asking, but Ling Chengze was willing to talk again.

It turned out that the enemy country knew that there was a crisis in their country, so they took the opportunity to force them to send their eldest princess over to marry.

The person to be married off to was an elderly emperor, Xie Qing.

"no!"

When Xu Yao heard that the princess was to marry the old man, he became anxious: "We can never agree to this request."

"Why would they suddenly ask to marry the eldest princess?"

"The old fellow surnamed Xie has always been very lustful. He likes young and beautiful women the most."

"Of course he has heard of the good reputation of the eldest sister."

Ling Chengze said, squeezing Xu Yao's hand in a comforting manner: "Don't worry, General Murong and several other brave generals will lead troops to guard the border from now on."

"If the marriage is rejected and war breaks out, we can resist it."

"We will be short of food and fodder."

The shortage of food and fodder is a big problem.

The treasury of the Ling Dynasty was already in deficit. If a war broke out now, it would be crucial to know where the supplies would come from.

But Ling Chengze already has a solution.

If we slaughter some corrupt officials in the court, we can get a lot of meat.

The two adults were talking in low voices about the eldest princess, and no one noticed that the baby sleeping in Ling Chengze's arms had secretly pricked up his little ears.

She was eavesdropping.

When they arrived at the Eastern Palace, Ling Suisui was sent to a small bed in a side hall.

Ling Chengze and Xu Yao didn't sleep with her.

The little guy lay on the bed with his eyes wide open silently.

She was thinking about her aunt the eldest princess's marriage.

The little guy was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that his New Year's money and a bunch of jade pendants and other gifts were confiscated by his mother.

"No."

"Auntie won't go."

Ling Suisui puffed out his cheeks and made a decision.

That night, before falling asleep, Ling Suisui kept repeating Xie Jiaze's name.

After she fell asleep, she really came to Xie Jiaze again.

"Xie Jiaze, do you know Xie Qing?"

"He is my father."

"He wants to marry my aunt, but I don't want him to."

Xie Jiaze: “…”

Xie Jiaze also heard about this.

Ling Suisui raised his chubby face and said, "I want to go in my aunt's place."
