I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With

Chapter 1016: Setting Off (1) Chapter 1016: Setting Off (1) Editor: Atlas Studios Little Treasure couldn’t help but stomp his feet.

“What kind of rotten idea is this?

How can you ask someone to change their father?

Royal Father must have been so sad when he read this.” This time, it was the three little ones who widened their eyes.

“When did we ask him to change fathers?” Qi Wensu asked Little Treasure worriedly, “Is Royal Father really sad?” Little Treasure nodded seriously and immediately asked his brother to write a letter to comfort his father.

The three little ones also pestered the Second Prince and asked him to read the letter to them.

“We didn’t ask you to change fathers.

Don’t malign us.” The chattering was chaotic.

Meanwhile, Little Bear stood at the periphery with his mouth wide open.

He couldn’t help but shout, “Stop arguing.

Calm down and explain everything one by one.” The five of them only became noisier.

Helpless, Little Bear could only shout and pull them apart with both hands.

Only then did the five of them calm down and look at him blankly.

Little Bear said solemnly, “It’s almost time to sleep.

Tell me one thing at a time.

Otherwise, if you continue to quarrel, none of us will get any sleep tonight.” Little Treasure glanced at the three little ones and said first, “Then I’ll speak first.” He looked at his brother seriously and said, “Royal Father is sad.

He even asked me if I, too, want Fourth Uncle to be my father and don’t want him anymore.

You have to quickly write a letter to comfort Royal Father.” Tiger Head jumped up.

“You really want to snatch my father.

Didn’t I tell you no before?” Little Bear smacked him and said, “Let’s settle Brother Little Treasure’s matter first before talking about yours.

Be quiet.” This was the first time Little Bear had presided over so many brothers’ disputes.

Excited, he didn’t show any mercy.

Tiger Head was stunned by him and could only stand at the side with his big round eyes.

Little Lion and Little An, who were originally a little restless, also became obedient.

Satisfied, Little Treasure held his younger brother’s hand and tried to use reason to convince him how much their Royal Father loved them.

And that in return, they should also love their Royal Father.

Qi Wensu tilted his head and said, “If I love Royal Father, will he let me stay in Guangzhou?” Little Treasure: “aEUR| Why must you stay in Guangzhou?

Can’t you go back to the capital with me?

I’ll play with you.

Royal Father will also care about you.” Qi Wensu lowered his head to look at his toes and said in a low voice, “But I don’t want to be locked up in the study room by Mother Consort to practice calligraphy.

I want to study with Brother Tiger Head and the others.

I don’t want to play alone in the imperial garden.

I want to go to the beach and the streets with Brother Tiger Head and the others.

Royal Father is so busy that he only has time to talk to me during dinner at night.

But here, Fourth Aunt will often check on me and not let anyone bully me.

If someone gives me a hard time, I can complain to Fourth Uncle and Fourth AuntaEUR|” Qi Wensu looked at his big brother carefully and said even more carefully, “Besides, I can do whatever I want here, unlike in the palace where the palace maids even forbid me from eating a tad too much snacks.

Then, they won’t even serve that snack for a long time.” Little Treasure was stunned.

He really didn’t know about these things.

Qi Wensu pouted and looked at him pitifully.

Little Treasure’s heart ached.

After hesitating for a long time, he said, “But Royal Father will miss you if you don’t go home.” When Tiger Head heard that Qi Wensu couldn’t eat snacks when he wanted to, he immediately sympathized with him.

As a standard foodie, he couldn’t live without food.

He immediately threw his original question aside and excitedly suggested an idea.

“Draw a portrait of you for Royal Uncle and write down your message for him.

With that portrait, it’ll be as if you’re by his side.” Little Lion nodded before he felt that something was wrong.

“Brother, weren’t we talking about Cousin snatching our father?” Tiger Head immediately changed the topic.

“Although I sympathize with you, I can’t let you have my daddy.” Little Lion nodded fiercely.

Little An pushed the two of them away from each other and said, “Wensu definitely won’t be able to snatch Fourth Uncle away.

The most important thing now is to get Royal Uncle to let Wensu stay here.

We’ll talk about the rest later.” Little Lion and Tiger Head gathered together and discussed for a long time.

Finally, they reluctantly agreed to reconcile and asked Little An, “Have you any good suggestions?” Tiger Head reached out and pulled the stunned Qi Wensu in.

Seeing the four little heads gathered together, Little Bear and Little Treasure opened their mouths wide.

Were they being ostracized?

Little Bear glanced at Little Treasure and said seriously, “Actually, it’s not bad for Wensu to stay here.

Look, since they’re about the same age, when they get into trouble, they can have one more person to share the responsibility.” The corners of Little Treasure’s mouth twitched.

He glanced at him and said, “You’ll also have another person to take the blame for, right?” With a chuckle, Little Bear gave him a look that said, “You know me best, brother.” The four children wrote letters to Qi Xiuyuan.

At first, Qi Xiuyuan only wanted to leave his son hanging for a few days before agreeing.

Seeing that the four boys were trying to curry favor with him, he wanted to watch the show, so he let the kids continue to suck up to him.

It was only three days before they were about to set off that he agreed to let Qi Wensu stay in Guangzhou.

The four children cheered, and the luggage that they had packed overnight was unpacked again.

Tiger Head even warmly invited Qi Wensu to sleep in the same room as him.

Alas, Mu Yangling didn’t agree because Tiger Head punched and kicked around when he was sleeping.

Even she couldn’t stand sleeping on the same bed as him, let alone the young Qi Wensu.

The last time these two children slept together, Wensu was kicked off the bed three times in a single night.

The first two times, he could still crawl back to bed in a daze.

The third time though, the boy simply wrapped himself in the blanket and lay on the ground.

Seeing this, the servant girls on night duty didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; they could only work together to carry him to the soft couch to sleep.

Since then, Mu Yangling didn’t dare to let Tiger Head sleep with Qi Wensu again, but Qi Wensu liked being with Tiger Head very much.

He held Tiger Head’s little hand and followed him to his room, refusing to return to his own room no matter what.

Helpless, Mu Yangling could only tell the servant girls on night duty to be careful.

If the Second Prince was kicked off the bed again, they were to carry him to the soft couch to sleep.

The servant girls agreed with a chuckle.

There were still three days left before his departure, and so Little Treasure began to bid farewell to his friends here.

First, it was his friends from the fishing village, then the children of the Guangdong officials whom he had become acquainted with, and finally Joao and Jose.

When Joao and Jose heard that Little Treasure was going back to the capital, they were both reluctant and envious.

The last time the envoy entered the capital, the two brothers had been abandoned in Guangzhou, so they had never been to the capital.

They heard that the capital was even more prosperous and beautiful than Guangzhou City, and the procedures for Westerners to leave the city were complicated.

Strictly speaking, Westerners could only stay at the trading port.

This was also why Westerners weren’t commonly seen in the mainland.

Only a few Westerners could go to the prosperous capital in Jiangnan.

During this period of time, Joao had also learned a lot of Chinese characters and Mandarin from Advisor Qian.

He really wanted to travel around, so he probed Little Treasure and proposed to follow him to the capital.

Little Treasure was silent for a moment before agreeing.

When Qi Haoran heard this, he could not help but call him over and ask, “Although a ruler doesn’t care about trifles, it’s not appropriate to interact too much with the Westerners.” Little Treasure deliberated for a moment and said, “Fourth Uncle, I didn’t agree to Joao and Jose simply because they’re my friends.

I believe that people all over the world can become friends.

I also believe that those who are not of my race have different intentions, and that the Westerners’ thoughts are not as simple as we think.

Moreover, considering the Portuguese envoy is hostile towards us, I think we should take precautions.”
