"My thoughts were known by the maids. In order to please me, they secretly taught Qian'er to call me grandmother."

"But I have told Qian'er that he can only call me that when it's just me and him alone."

"I didn't expect that Qian'er would say it out loud in front of everyone today."

Prince Gongxuan said coldly: "You are blaming all the responsibility on the maids, and you still think you are not at fault at all, right?"

Aunt Deng shook her head repeatedly: "No, I am also wrong. I shouldn't have asked Qian'er to call me grandmother in private. I know this is a crime of great disrespect. I am willing to be punished."

The princess looked at Aunt Deng coldly.

It's true that as you get older, you become more thoughtful.

Learn to retreat when you advance.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tangqi also admitted his fault. "Father, Mother, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Qian'er made the mistake today because of me. Please punish him. Please forgive him. He...he is my only son after all. If I scare him, what will I do in the future?"

Upon hearing this, King Gongxuan became even angrier. Without even thinking, he stepped forward and kicked Shen Tangqi, mocking him, "Do you think I don't understand what you mean? Aren't you just reminding me that I only have you as my son and Qian'er as my grandson. If Qian'er gets into an accident and you can't have another child, I will have no children or grandchildren. Are you asking me to be more merciful to him?"

The princess was silent.

The prince is still not confused.

Shen Tangqi's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down obediently, "Father, I absolutely did not mean that. You are in good health, and it is only a matter of time before a child is born in the palace."

As he spoke, Shen Tangqi couldn't help but express his grievances, his voice lowered a few notches, "I really can't have children. Since I was fifteen, my aunt, with the permission of my mother, has arranged no less than ten concubines for me, but only the principal wife gave birth to Qian'er seven years ago. Since then, I have not had any children, and there is not even a pregnant woman in the backyard."

"Qian'er is my only child. I am really worried about him. I am not reminding you."

Seeing that Shen Tangqi's words were sincere, if Shen Yunqian had not been so arrogant and rude just now, King Gongxuan might have actually believed him.

King Gongxuan turned around and said calmly, "I have already issued the order, and there is no possibility of taking it back. It's only for one month. He is my grandson, and I will not treat him unfairly. You don't have to worry."

Aunt Deng said anxiously: "Your Majesty..."

"And more." King Gongxuan interrupted her, "Indeed, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father, so Shen Tangqi, you should be punished."

"Come here, confine the Second Young Master to Wutong Courtyard and punish him by copying the family rules five hundred times. Without my permission, he is not allowed to leave the courtyard for a month."

"Ms. Deng, you disrespected the princess, did not teach your children well, and led my son and grandson astray. Your crimes are extremely serious. You shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane, copied the family rules two hundred times, and confined to Green Orchid Court for five years!"

"All those who serve Master Qian, the Second Master, and Aunt Deng will be transferred out and reassigned!"

Butler Shen: "I will arrange it later."

When Aunt Deng heard this, she thought that she was already a grandmother, but she was still being beaten with a stick. If her grandson and the servants knew about it, how could she still have the face to live?
