Chapter 1129: Enlightenment

Little Lion opened his mouth wide and hurriedly reached out to cover his younger sister’s eyes. However, Baozhu giggled and hugged his neck, before nibbling on his face.

Tiger Head had just made a shy gesture at his parents when he was dragged to the back by Little Bear.

Little Bear was extremely good at clearing the area. As soon as Mu Yangling’s face turned red, he carried his younger siblings far away, giving the couple their privacy.

Seeing that the eyesores had left, Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and hugged Mu Yangling. He said in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to pick some wildflowers to put in vases? I’ll bring you there.”

Tiger Head kept struggling in Little Bear’s hands as he shouted, “Let me down, let me down! Father, Mother, quickly save me!”

Qi Haoran turned a deaf ear to Tiger Head’s cries for help and pulled Mu Yangling away, rendering Tiger Head helpless. He could only look at the twins and say, “Little Lion, save me!”

After placing Baozhu on the grass, Little Lion wiped the saliva off his face and accused him, “At your age, shouldn’t you be taking care of your younger siblings? When Daddy and Mommy are playing kissy, you should block their eyes.”

Tiger Head hung on Little Bear’s arm as he asked, “Why do we have to block them?”

“Because it’s not for children’s eyes.”

Tiger Head retorted angrily, “Nonsense. Father and Mother have kissed us before. How can kissing be inappropriate for children?”

“Then why did you still make a shy gesture at them!” Little Lion accused.

“I just feel shy that they still want to kiss at their age. I’ve stopped allowing them to kiss me since last year.”

Little Bear put down Tiger Head with an exasperated look. After glancing at the confused Little Leopard and Baozhu, he decisively pulled Tiger Head and Little Lion aside to educate them.

Little Bear first taught Little Lion. “Tiger Head is innocent and doesn’t think too much. You ought to give him more pointers.”

When he looked at Tiger Head again, he saw that his face was filled with anger. Clearly, Tiger Head still didn’t know what they were talking about. He sighed faintly, cupped Tiger Head’s round face, and said seriously, “Tiger Head, our parents kissing us is different from Daddy kissing Mommy. Of course, it’s also different from Mommy kissing Daddy. This is a very complicated matter. Since you’re still young, you’ll understand when you’re a little older. In short, you have to remember that you can’t ask other girls to kiss you. You’re also not allowed to kiss other girls, understand?”

Tiger Head’s face was full of disdain. “Why should I kiss other girls? They’re so annoying and always chatter noisily behind me. Otherwise, they’ll cry while wiping their tears with a handkerchief. I didn’t bully them.”

“…” Little Bear added, “You can’t kiss boys either…”

Tiger Head was horrified. “We’re already so old. Which boy would go around kissing other boys?”

Little Lion coughed lightly and held Tiger Head’s hand, then said seriously to his big brother, who was about to go crazy, “Brother, Tiger Head is still young and doesn’t understand such things yet. Let me teach him slowly.”

Little Bear turned his head stiffly to look at him and said woodenly, “Little Lion, you’re the same age as Tiger Head, not even ten years old this year. Do you understand such things?”

Little Lion said proudly, “I’ve long been enlightened. Brother Little An taught me.”

Shocked, Little Bear widened his eyes and looked at his brother, whose height had only reached his chest. To think he knew about such things already!

Little Bear was 13 years old this year. In the past, he was completely unaware of the birds and the bees. It was only during the war, through hearing the veterans talk about such things, that he sort of developed some understanding of it. Even so, he did not dare to say that he had been enlightened about the topic.

In the end, his younger brother, who was three to four years younger than him, actually said that he was enlightened?!

For a moment, Little Bear didn’t know what expression to make, so his face went blank for a moment before it revealed anger. He shouted at his brother, “Mother said that we can’t get married until we’re 18 years old at the earliest. To think you’re enlightened about such matters at such a young age. Do you believe that Father and Mother will beat you to death?”

Little Bear put his hands on his waist and asked, “What did Little An teach you?”

Tiger Head was also fuming. “To think you didn’t teach me this after Brother Little An taught you.”

Little Lion roared back, “Brother Little An clearly taught us together. It’s just that you weren’t listening seriously.”

Resisting the urge to smack his two younger brothers, Little Bear shoved Tiger Head to the side and strictly ordered him not to speak. Only then did he look at Little Lion and said with his hands clenched. “Spill!”

Little Lion said aggrievedly, “This isn’t our fault. What right do you have to blame us, Big Brother?”

After Mu Yangling and Little Bear went to war with Qi Haoran, the four children in the family were liberated.

Little Madam Xia couldn’t suppress Little An, and even Little Fu followed behind his brother all day long, so there was nothing Little Madam Xia could do about him either. With Little An, the think tank, around, the children collectively started skipping class in less than two days.

Since the boys-girl twins had a few older brothers to play with, they did not cry or make a fuss. Every day, they would have tons of fun, laughing and giggling. When they were tired from playing, they would sleep and eat. After eating, they would play again. In short, their days were full of joy.

In the beginning, Little Madam Xia and the Empress were worried that the children would make a fuss because their parents were not around, thus simply let them be. It was only upon seeing that they were going wild and gradually becoming lawless, that they quickly took measures.

The Empress asked Little Treasure to escort them back to the Royal School to study, but without their older brothers to play with them, the boy-girl twins started crying and making a fuss in just half a day. Little Madam Xia couldn’t coax them, so she could only carry the boys-girl twins into the palace. However, two two-year-old babies couldn’t possibly enter the Royal School, right?

Therefore, Tiger Head and the others didn’t have to go to school in the end.

The Empress felt that even if they didn’t have to go to school, they couldn’t play together all day. Tiger Head and Little Lion were lawless people, while Little An was very resourceful. Little Fu and the boy-girl twins were also very mischievous. Who knew how much trouble they would cause when they got together.

Thinking that the kids were playing anyway, they might as well find more playmates for them so that they could guide them purposefully. This way, even if they messed around, it would be within the adults’ control.

Moreover, they could also use this chance to contact the wives of the ministers during wartime. This could minimize the problem of lack of rations and delay in armaments.

Hence, many of the ministers’ wives received the invitation. They either entered the palace to chat with the Empress or went to the Duke’s Residence or Prince Rong’s Residence to meet with them.

The ministers’ wives understood what the empress meant after going there once. The next time they received the invitation, they specially brought along their young daughters. Only those who didn’t have young daughters of similar age brought along a son or grandson of a similar age.

It couldn’t be helped since there was only one girl—Princess Baozhu—among the children, and the rest were all boys.

Not to mention the three princes, just the few young masters from the Prince’s Residence and Duke’s Residence were enough to make the ministers’ wives covetous. After all, these were potential wealthy sons-in-law in the future.

Hence, the children were drowned by a group of young girls.

At first, Little An and the others simply didn’t like to play with the young ladies because their interests were different. The boys and girls liked different things. However, as they realized that they couldn’t get rid of these young ladies no matter what, all kinds of mischievous ideas popped up.

The group of young ladies were frightened by their group fighting.

In fact, Little Madam Xia was so startled that she beat up the kids for the first time. Little An was unconvinced. In addition, after hearing some gossip from the gossipy servants, he learned that those young ladies were eyeing them to be their future husbands.

Already ten years old, he naturally knew what a husband was. He solemnly told his younger brothers not to hold hands, talk, or play with those girls. Otherwise, they would have to marry them in the future and they would be annoyed to death.

Their greatest takeaway from this matter was that they could not kiss girls or sleep on the same bed as them. Otherwise, they would give birth to a baby. That way, they would really not be able to get rid of those girls.

And this was the extent of the kids’ enlightenment.
