If not abolished

Chapter 193 Apology (2)

On the other side, Concubine Li specially asked someone to invite her other two sons over, so the four of them, mother and sons, were sitting at a round table to eat.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanjun still had a bit of anger on his face, Concubine Li broke the silence while picking up some food for him: "It's rare for you three brothers to have dinner here with your mother today. Zhanjun, you like this drunken crab, so I specially asked someone to prepare it for you. Try it."

"Thank you, mother." Although Zhu Zhanjun was still angry, he still showed proper courtesy.

"Zhanyin and Zhan'ao, come and eat quickly." Concubine Li also called the other two brothers.

"Hmm, it's just delicious." Zhu Zhan'ao has always been heartless. He forgets everything when he sees something delicious.

Just when the mother and her two children had almost finished eating and the palace maids were already cleaning up, Qian'er suddenly came to report, "Madam Concubine, Madam Concubine Guo is here with Little Prince Zhan'ai."

"It's so late, why don't you come in quickly?" Concubine Li didn't know what she was going to do. It was impossible that her son was beaten, and she came to cause trouble? Oh, never mind, we will see what she says.

As soon as Concubine Li was distracted, Concubine Guo came in, "It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb my sister?" Concubine Guo looked around and saw that the three brothers Zhu Zhanjun were all there. She felt a little embarrassed and scolded Zhu Zhanjun several times in her heart.

"Hello, Empress Guo." Zhu Zhanjun and others bowed to Concubine Guo.

"Hello, Empress Li." Zhu Zhanjie also timidly bowed to Concubine Li.

Concubine Li could only smile and say, "Sister, you are joking. How could I disturb you? I am free and have nothing to do. I wonder why you suddenly came here?" Concubine Li did not want to say any more polite words to her, so she quickly explained her purpose.

Concubine Guo had prepared herself mentally before coming here. Now that she was standing in front of Concubine Li, she suddenly didn't know how to start. However, her son was in the wrong, so she hardened her heart and said, "I'm sure you agree with Zhan Yin and the others. No matter how you look at it, today's incident was Zhan Qi's fault. It was all because I neglected to discipline him during this period of time. So, I personally brought him here to apologize to you and Zhan Yin before even having a meal."

Hearing that they were here to apologize, Concubine Li couldn't help but feel relieved. "Sister, what you said is serious. I just heard from them that Zhanzhen didn't mean it. He was just careless. Not to mention that Zhanyin is the older brother, how can he be fussy about his younger brother? Besides, this boy is not a girl, so it's inevitable that he will have bumps and bruises. Sister, please don't blame Zhanzhen too much."

"If he was wrong, he was wrong. You can't forgive him so easily just because he is young." Concubine Guo turned around and said to Zhu Zhan'ai, "Your Majesty Li is generous if you don't mind. Why don't you apologize to your fourth brother quickly?"

"Sister, don't scare the child." Concubine Li said from the side.

Zhu Zhanqi was so scared that he burst into tears. He walked to Zhu Zhanyin and Concubine Li and said, "Fourth brother... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Xiaokai, don't cry." Zhu Zhanyin immediately comforted him.

"Look, fourth brother has forgiven you, so stop crying, little one." Concubine Li squatted down and wiped the tears from Zhu Zhanjie's face.

Zhu Zhankai slowly stopped crying and hiccuped through his nose.

Concubine Li saw that Zhu Zhanqi had stopped crying, so she stood up and said to Concubine Guo, "Zhanqi must have known he was wrong. Sister, please don't blame him anymore after you go back. The child hasn't had his meal yet."

"Alas, I am also very angry. If it wasn't my sister, if it was someone else, I am afraid I wouldn't be so easy to talk to." Although Concubine Guo was not familiar with Concubine Li before, she also knew that Concubine Li had always been magnanimous and there was basically no one she couldn't get along with in the palace.

"They're all one family."
