After Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang left, the father and son Xiao Yeyang and Dao Zi were in low mood for a long time.

May 11th is Daozi’s birthday. Daohua specially ordered the kitchen to make him a birthday cake and some of his favorite dishes. She also invited several Xiao Mokuan and some children from friends of officials to celebrate his birthday.<

/p>

Daozi was very happy to have someone to play with and have a birthday cake to eat.

While eating the cake, Daozi proudly said to his friends: "When you celebrate your birthday, your mother won't make food for you with her own hands, right? But my mother can. My mother made this birthday cake for me herself."

of."

Xiao Mobao made a 'cut' sound: "You are lying. Your mother has to take care of your younger brothers and sisters. How can she have time to make cakes for you? I see, it was clearly made by your cook."

Hearing this, Daozi was extremely angry: "My mother made it for me."

Xiao Mobao: "Then how do you prove it?"

Daozi thought for a while: "You guys come with me to see my mother, and I'll ask her face to face."

Xiao Mobao nodded immediately: "Okay, okay."

So, Daozi took a group of children to the main courtyard and cheered.

At this moment, Daohua was talking to Han Xinran and several official female relatives. When she saw Daozi leading a group of children over, she immediately asked with a smile: "Why don't you play outside?"

Daozi said angrily: "Mom, tell them, did you personally make the birthday cake for me?"

Daohua was stunned for a moment, because she had to take care of two little ones, so this year's birthday cake was not made by her. Looking at her son's expectant eyes, Daohua felt a little guilty for no reason.

Dao Zi has always been good at reading people's faces. When his mother didn't answer immediately, he knew the answer in his heart. In an instant, his nose started to feel sore.

Han Xinran and the other female relatives present just thought it was children's play and changed the topic with a smile.

Daohua felt a little guilty, so she pulled Daozi to her side and whispered: "Mom has to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, so she can't make cakes. In this way, later on, mom will make your favorite yam and jujube kernel cake in person, okay?"

Good?"

Daozi didn't say anything, turned around and ran away.

"Hahaha, I just said that your mother doesn't like you now that you have your younger brothers and sisters. You still don't believe it!"

Xiao Mobao and others chased him out, and then laughed at Daozi.

Daozi looked at Xiao Mobao with an angry face, but couldn't find the words to refute, so he could only glare angrily.

His mother really doesn’t like him anymore, and she won’t even make him a cake for his birthday.

After Daozi's birthday, Daohua deliberately made up for it and often asked the kitchen to make Daozi's favorite cakes and meals.

It's not that she doesn't want to do it with her own hands, it's just that she can't get away, and the two little ones are still too young. Even if there is a nanny and maid watching, she still has to pay attention at all times.

Looking at the pastries he likes to eat, Dao Zi feels better, but the smile on his face is not as bright as before. What he wants is not the pastries, but his parents to spend more time with him.

......

At noon one day at the end of May, Daozi's servant ran back to the palace, sweating profusely.

"Princess, it's not good. The young prince went to the moat with a few senior students from the academy, saying he wanted to go for a swim in the river."

Hearing this, Daohua's expression changed, and she stood up suddenly: "Why didn't you stop him?"

The young man smiled bitterly: "The servants couldn't stop me. Even His Highness the Fourth Highness's dissuasion was useless. Now he followed the young prince to the moat."

Daohua was angry and anxious. The moat was wide and deep. Not to mention that Daohua was just a five-year-old child, even an adult might get into trouble if he went into the river.

"Come here, hurry up and prepare the carriage."

Daohua told Gu Yu to prepare the carriage and summoned a team of guards to catch Daozi herself.

Just when he was about to leave the house, Dong Li helped Gu Jian over.

As soon as Gu Jian arrived, he hurriedly asked: "What happened to Daazi?"

Daohua: "That brat went swimming in the moat with others."

When Gu Jian heard this, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly wanted to get into the carriage.

Daohua quickly stopped Gu Jian: "Master, you can help me look after the two little ones at home. I'll bring the rice back."

Gu Jian knew that it would be of no use if he went, but because he slowed down, he hurriedly urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. By the way, take Dongli with you."

The rice flower did not refuse, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the moat under the leadership of the servant.

......

When Daohua came to the moat in a carriage, she happened to see Daozi jumping into the river.

Seeing the small body submerged in the water, Daohua felt a cool air instantly emerge from the soles of her feet and go straight to her forehead.

"Come on, come and catch the rice!" The voice revealed infinite eagerness and panic.

Dongli rushed over like an arrow.

When Dongli carried the drowned rat-like rice onto the shore, Daohua got off the carriage with her hands and feet weak.

Dao Zi was happy when he saw Dao Hua coming in person, and then proudly raised his eyebrows at Xiao Mo Bao and others next to him.

Seeing that her son was okay, Daohua's heart dropped back to her stomach, followed by anger, and for the first time she showed a stern expression on her son.

Looking at the gloomy-looking mother, Daozi realized the seriousness of the problem, was a little scared, and weakly called out: "Mother."

Daohua took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in her heart, and then asked coldly: "Do you still see me as a mother in your eyes? Now you are so brave that you dare to swim in the river privately!"

Daozi was a little hurt when he saw his mother speaking so harshly to him. As expected, his mother didn't like him anymore. In the past, he had done wrong things, and his mother had always told him well.

Thinking of her mother's neglect of her after her younger siblings were born, Daozi felt even more aggrieved and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing his son's red eyes, Daozi's anger subsided a little, but he still said coldly: "You are still crying. Do you know that you did something wrong today?"

Daozi knew in his heart that he had done something wrong. It can be seen that Daohua scolded him like this, and he immediately felt rebellious: "I just went to the river to swim. Others can do it, why can't I? I'm not wrong!"
p>

These words ignited Daohua's fire: "You made a mistake and still don't admit it, you are really a good son I taught you!"

When Daozi heard this, he thought Daohua didn't want him anymore, so he cried immediately: "I knew you wouldn't want me after you had younger brothers and sisters, and I won't like you in the future either!"

With that said, he threw Dong Li away hard and ran away crying.

Daohua was stunned for a moment by Daozi's words, and then quickly asked Dongli to carry the person into the carriage, and she followed up.

In the carriage, Daozi kept sobbing, with tears streaming down her face, and she looked extremely pitiful.

No matter how angry Daohua was in her heart, she couldn't get angry anymore when she saw her son like this: "You are wet, come here and wipe it for you."

Daozi turned his head to the other side, gave Daohua a slap on the back of his head, and said with sobs: "Don't you only have younger brothers and sisters in your eyes? Do you care what I do? I don't want you to care!"

Daohua frowned, forcibly pulled the person over, and then forcibly changed the little guy into dry clothes.

Although the weather was already very hot at the end of May, Daohua was still worried that he would catch a cold when the wind blew when the rice fell into the river.

After changing clothes, Daohua wanted to wipe Daozi's hair. Unexpectedly, Daozi was so angry that she avoided it and wiped it by herself with a towel.

Midway, Daohua tried to reason with Daozi, but unfortunately, the little guy ignored her and didn't say a word until she returned to the palace.
