Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Little did he know that the more he asked, the more interesting Emperor Jingwen’s expression became.

Emperor Jingwen rarely experienced such embarrassing moments in his life.

Normally, he didn’t think there was anything wrong when he favored his concubine, but if his children told about it, that would be a different matter.

After all, an emperor is an emperor, and his psychological quality is much stronger than that of ordinary people. In a blink of an eye, Emperor Jingwen recovered as usual.

How can this be possible?

How could we let him go so easily?

So Emperor Jingwen opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard the child exclaim: “Ah——”

Then Ye Shuo’s voice became a little stumbling, and he clutched the corner of his mother’s clothes tightly, as if he was frightened, afraid and panicked: “So, so scary…”

That’s right. No matter how calm he was, one could still see with the naked eye that something was wrong with Emperor Jingwen’s expression.

Although the Sixth Prince didn’t know what was going on, he immediately kept silent out of instinct.

What, what happened?

Why is father suddenly angry?

No matter how smart the Sixth Prince was, he was a little confused at this moment.

Looking at the two children shivering like quails, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t breathe in or out, and the breath was stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable.

He wanted to get angry, but he didn’t even have a reason.

Forget it, forget it, I can’t provoke him again.

Just stop when you’re done, to avoid making his cheap dad angry and then having no fun anymore.

Ye Shuo decided to stop while he was ahead and soon yawned, looking very sleepy.

Children always change so quickly, and in the end it was Nanny Yu who took him to the Sixth Prince’s room.

“Good night, mother, good night, father, I will take my leave…”

…Good night? Does it mean to greet you?

Because the child was at the age of learning to speak, new words always came out of his mouth, and Emperor Jingwen did not think much about it.

Seeing his youngest son leave obediently, he even felt a sense of relief.

It’s just… a child…

Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath, turned around and said to the imperial concubine: “Starting tomorrow, ask him to move out of the main hall.”

The emperor pondered for a while and felt that he could not swallow this humiliation, so he retaliated against Ye Shuo secretly without caring how old Ye Shuo was.

If Ye Shuo heard this, he would probably think that his cheap father was really petty.

Are those who do dirty things behind people’s backs really real men?

Emperor Jingwen did not think he had done anything wrong. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, he continued, “He has never left you since he was born. This is against the rules. Now he is over one year old. It is time for him to leave.”

Concubine Rong, who was slightly blushing because of what had just happened, then remembered that more than half a year had passed since the agreed time.

In the whole palace, who didn’t move their children to the side hall as soon as their children were one month old? For them, this was already a serious violation of the rules.

Although Concubine Gu Rong was a little reluctant, she still agreed with the emperor: “Yes, I understand.”

Seeing that the imperial concubine did not cry or make a fuss, Emperor Jingwen felt much better.

Afterward, he even thought about what kind of expression his youngest son would have when the imperial concubine told him about this matter tomorrow morning.

Anyway, it must be very exciting.

As an emperor, Emperor Jingwen always clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments. If the imperial concubine did something wrong, he would reprimand her. If the imperial concubine did something well, he would not hesitate to praise her.

“Over the past year or so, the Sixth Prince has been brought up very well by you.” Emperor Jingwen was very pleased that he was so hardworking at such a young age.

Just after dinner, Emperor Jingwen took the opportunity to test the Sixth Prince. Now it seems that he should be very satisfied with the result.

After coming to the imperial concubine’s place three or four times, he saw the Sixth Prince studying every time. Emperor Jingwen finally remembered this son in his heart.

“No, Your Majesty, you are too kind. This matter has nothing to do with me. It is the Sixth Prince’s own hard work.” Concubine Rong could also say nice things, mainly because it was true, so she was not lying.

“That’s also because you taught him well.”

After chatting about the Sixth Prince for a while and finding that this son really made him worry-free, Emperor Jingwen realized that there was really nothing to talk about, so he unconsciously shifted the topic to his youngest son: “By the way, what about Shuo’er? Has he started learning calligraphy now?”

The royal family is worthy of being the king of involution. Children from ordinary wealthy families only start to learn at the age of three or four, but in the royal family, the princes have to start learning characters as soon as they start to learn to speak.

If you cannot understand the complicated ones for the time being, it is good to memorize “Three Character Classic” or “A Thousand Character Classic”.

It’s not that Concubine Rong had never asked someone to teach her. Su Yue knew a few words, so she asked Su Yue to teach him, but the result was not very ideal.

“Since Shuo’er learned to walk, he has been more active than other children. He can’t sit still, so he hasn’t started learning yet.”

Nowadays, the little thing is either playing in the mud, watching ants moving, or running around the yard with a hydrangea in his arms. Su Yue really can’t find a chance to watch it.

“There is no rush for this matter.”

It is normal for children to be active. Emperor Jingwen was even speaking up for Ye Shuo: “It will be fine when he grows up a bit.”

Although it is a good thing for the prince to be smart, Emperor Jingwen secretly hopes that his youngest son can be more mediocre so as not to give rise to unnecessary ambitions in the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion. Therefore, he does not press him as hard as he does with other princes.

Concubine Rong did not realize that the emperor was deliberately indulging her, and she now also felt that it was nothing for Ye Shuo to do so.

At this time, neither of them took this matter to heart. After discussing the child, they fell asleep quickly.

Since giving birth to the prince, Concubine Rong has become a little different from before.

There is a mixture of tenderness amidst the fierceness, contradictions and harmony, which is simply irresistible.

Emperor Jingwen was a man after all, in his prime, and he also had some affection for the imperial concubine, so it was inevitable that he was a little indulgent.

The other side–

Ye Shuo was not sleepy originally, but he never expected that it was so late and the Sixth Prince still had to recite lessons after returning.

After listening for just a few seconds, he really started to feel sleepy.

By the way, Xunzi’s “Encouragement to Study” is too long…

[T/L = In Xunzi’s philosophy, learning is not simply the accumulation of knowledge but, rather, the process of coming to understand morality as a lifelong process of self-cultivation and self-improvement.]

Nearly two thousand words, more than double the eight hundred-word composition, seems too difficult for kids like the Sixth Prince.

If it were in modern times, the Sixth Prince would just be old enough to be in the first grade of elementary school. Ye Shuo remembered that he was still learning “walk two or three miles, there are four or five smoke-filled villages” in the first grade. The difficulty comparison is amazing.

Bored, he read the entire article over and over again and counted the words. When he reached 1963 words, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but swear in his heart that he would never be involved with them even if he was beaten to death.

At first the Sixth Prince was worried that he would disturb him, but when he was about to read it for the second time, he saw that Ye Shuo had fallen asleep. He was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.

It was not until midnight that the Sixth Prince put down the book and climbed onto the bed, looking a little tired.

This was the first time that the Sixth Prince slept with someone else. The little prince felt warm all over, as if he was in a small stove. It was midsummer and the Sixth Prince was sweating in a short while.

But the child just wouldn’t let him go. Ye Shuo wanted to stay cool, so after falling asleep he kept rubbing against him.

Normally, the Sixth Prince would have to cover himself with a thin quilt when he slept, but today, he simply saved the trouble.

The Sixth Prince couldn’t tell what he was feeling, he just felt that his little brother was becoming more and more dependent on him.

What should I do…

The Sixth Prince frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.

A night passed like this, and when Ye Shuo woke up the next day, there was no one around him.

There is no doubt that the Sixth Prince must have gone to the study.

Ye Shuo was in high spirits and let the palace servants change his clothes. After changing his clothes and washing up, he went out and happened to run into Emperor Jingwen who had finished his breakfast and was about to go to court.

When Emperor Jingwen saw him, he narrowed his eyes and said abruptly, “My dear concubine, please do not forget what you promised me yesterday.”

What did mom promise to cheap dad?

Ye Shuo was a little confused at first, but he soon understood.

It turned out that he was asked to move out of the main hall!

Originally, the emperor would not take such a small matter to heart, and he even brought it up on purpose when he came. He must have said that to make fun of himself on purpose.

Isn’t it because of what he said last night that this is revenge?

Tsk, childish.

Even if Emperor Jingwen didn’t mention it, Ye Shuo would have told it himself.

After all, he is already one and a half years old. Although he likes to stick to his mother, he is not a mama’s boy after all. It will definitely become more and more inconvenient for him as he grows up.

Especially now that his stepfather comes over occasionally, Ye Shuo is afraid that he might see something he shouldn’t see.

So after hearing what his cheap father said, Ye Shuo really didn’t feel anything at all.

Emperor Jingwen’s entire night of anticipation was dashed as he failed to get the reaction he had imagined.

The revenge failed, and instead Emperor Jingwen felt even more depressed.

This shouldn’t be the case. He is so close to the imperial concubine, shouldn’t he be crying and making a fuss?

Ye Shuo pretended to be indifferent. After a while, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t wait for what he wanted, so he left with a cold face and full of doubts.

“Farewell, His Majesty.” Imperial Concubine Rong and the palace maids saluted.

Looking at his back, Ye Shuo’s heart was filled with joy.

Want to see him make a fool of himself, tsk, my cheap dad is still a little naive.

After finishing his breakfast in a good mood, Ye Shuo went out for a walk as usual.

He is now one and a half years old. His legs and feet are much more agile than when he first learned to walk, and gradually he is no longer satisfied with staying in Qiuwu Palace.

Ever since the Sixth Prince went to the study, Ye Shuo had almost no time to play with him. Without someone to play with, Ye Shuo was inevitably bored, and on a whim, he thought of going out to take a look.

Ye Shuo decided to expand his range of activities by fifty meters.

He was also afraid of encountering danger and did not dare to leave too far. Besides, he was accompanied by Nanny and Su Yue, so Concubine Rong did not stop him.

Qiuwu Palace was relatively close to Emperor Jingwen’s Qinzheng Hall and Chengming Hall, so Ye Shuo was lucky enough to meet the crown prince on his way to court.

When the prince went to court in the morning, Ye Shuo was taking a walk.

The prince came back hungry at noon. Ye Shuo had already finished his lunch and was now eating the mung bean ice cream that Su Yue brought from the kitchenette of Qiuwu Palace.

The prince finished his lunch in a hurry, and was suddenly summoned by Emperor Jingwen when the sun was at its hottest in the afternoon. When he passed by, Ye Shuo was enjoying the cool air in a pavilion not far away. He was lying on a bamboo chair, and a palace maid was fanning him. The cool breeze blew by, and he felt very comfortable.

In the evening, the prince finally came back from the government meeting and ran into Ye Shuo squatting facing the sunset, playing in the mud. From time to time, Su Yue would break off a small piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.

Prince: “…………”

The prince was out of control and stopped abruptly.
