My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 256
Chapter 256: Fake Eldest Brother
Mo Yu’s hands were flogged twice as punishment by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the child had cried for a whole 15 minutes since then.
When Mo Yu saw that no one paid attention to him, he tactfully stopped his bawling and used his tiny handkerchief to wipe his tears while sniffling and sneaking covert glances at his eldest brother, who was sitting behind the desk and evaluating the memorials.
“Give His Twelfth Highness some water to moisten his throat,” the crown prince coolly ordered as he laid down his pen.
Mo Yu felt his reddened hands sting as he held the cup, and his tears started dropping down in a tumble again.
When Eldest Brother got angry, he did not even look at his younger brother. So scary…
Mo Yu moved his bottom and eagerly sprinted to the crown prince’s side, hugging his thighs and seeking pets. Mo Yu pitifully avowed, “Eldest Brother, Eldest Brother, I was wrong. I will study well from now on! I also won’t drag Xiaotie out to play and contradict the Grand Tutor anymore. I’ll be obedient and won’t cause trouble or mess around! I’ll be a good child! Don’t be angry anymore, Eldest Brother.”
The crown prince glanced back at him and lifted him onto the desk. He seriously looked at Mo Yu and said, “Yu’er, you have to remember, the responsibilities shouldered by Eldest Brother will eventually be passed on to you. You will also need to take care of Mother from now on and be a responsible man.”
He deliberated for a moment before lightly saying, “Eldest Brother… will eventually have to leave.”
The brat, Mo Yu, hugged his brother’s arm while noisily protesting, “No! Yu’er won’t allow Eldest Brother to leave! Where is Eldest Brother going? Bring Yu’er with you, Royal Mother too! Let’s leave together!”
It was impossible to communicate with a brat!
The crown prince flicked the brat’s forehead. “Eldest Brother will assess your homework in two days. If it’s still in complete shambles, just wait! You shamed your eldest brother in front of Grand Tutor, so Eldest Brother will also shame you even more!” This brat…
Mo Yu’s round face wrinkled together into a ball. He intended to fake a few more sobs when his sight landed on a certain corner of the desk and his voice broke off.
The child crawled forward on the desk, his hand reaching for a fresh and red peach sitting on the corner of the desk. “Eldest Brother, is this for Yu’er to eat?”
“It’s not.” Crown Prince Mo mercilessly took the peach from Mo Yu’s hand. His face unperturbed, utterly lacking the realization that he was bullying a child.
Mo Yu’s eyes turned round as he turned to look at his brother in disbelief!
Usually, Eldest Brother would give anything delicious and fun to him! Eldest Brother would give it to him as long as he asked Eldest Brother! Why wasn’t Eldest Brother giving him the peach today? This must be a fake Eldest Brother!
“Eldest Brother, I want to eat the peach!” Mo Yu persisted and fought for his benefits!
“I don’t have any.” The crown prince stood up and locked that seemingly delicious, pink and juicy peach into a jade box.
Mo Yu’s eyes turned even rounder!
Eldest Brother was so stingy that he locked the peach inside a jade box and did not even allow him a second look?!
‘Eldest Brother doesn’t like Yu’er anymore.’ This shocking piece of news reverberated inside the young Mo Yu’s mind.
The child instantly felt like there was nothing to live for anymore and plopped onto the desk, laying spread eagle.
When Mo Lian turned around and saw the little fellow’s position, he almost laughed out loud.
He walked over and shifted his brother to the side. “Don’t disturb Eldest Brother from taking care of state affairs.”
“Why can’t Yu’er eat Eldest Brother’s peach?” the brat stubbornly asked.
