Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Xing Yucheng looked at the Ninth Prince who had wrapped himself like a cocoon, and he felt as if something was broken.

As subordinates and servants, they really have no way to do anything about what the master decides.

Xiao Luzi didn’t even dare to report to the Imperial Concubine.

Although the Imperial Concubine and the Ninth Prince are mother and son, since he is the Ninth Prince’s servant, he can only listen to the Ninth Prince. Not being able to distinguish between the primary and the secondary is a big taboo for a servant. Although Xiao Luzi is still young, he obviously knows this truth in his heart.

Therefore, even if he was anxiously scratching the wall, he could only watch.

Xing Yucheng had felt a little sleepy before, but now he didn’t feel sleepy at all and he felt very energetic.

As for the chaise longue, he did not have the courage of the Ninth Prince, so he did not dare to go up there.

Time passed minute by minute, and after the morning hour, the two were finally in complete despair.

It’s over. It’s totally too late.

Gradually, the moon sank, and the sky became bright.

When the imperial concubine woke up, the first thing she looked at was the side hall. It was quiet. It was already past noon, and her son must have already gone to the study.

The imperial concubine felt a little distressed and even lost her concentration while dressing herself up. She thought silently in her heart that she must ask the kitchen to make more delicious food to reward him today.

The imperial concubine never thought that her son would dare not go under such circumstances.

On the other side, in the upper study room——

Upon learning that the Ninth Prince would be attending school this year, Lord Cen, who was in charge of the study, became very anxious.

Although he had never seen this prince before, he had heard many rumors about him.

Out of a teacher’s professional instinct, Mr. Cen felt that it was not good at the time.

After all, the little prince, now the ninth prince, had a reputation for being “ferocious”. When he was one year old, he grabbed an abacus, gold ingots, and a belly band. When he was just over one year old, he was locked up in the palace by the emperor for a full six months… Just imagining it made Lord Cen feel overwhelmed.

Perhaps it was because His Majesty was good at giving birth. Lord Cen had never met such a student before. Even the Crown Prince, the only legitimate son, was polite to him. Therefore, the appearance of the Ninth Prince made him feel very difficult.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince started school late, and he is nine years old now, which makes Lord Cen feel relieved. However, new problems arise. The Ninth Prince can live such an indulgent life, and it must be the Imperial Concubine who has contributed to this. This makes the Ninth Prince even more difficult to discipline.

But then I thought again, teaching the prince is my duty, the imperial concubine is too doting, and the emperor is busy with government affairs, so ain’t I the only one to worry about?

In addition to the difficult feeling, Lord Cen also inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility and mission in his heart.

Especially since the Emperor had specially asked Eunuch Wang to come and give him some instructions on the eve of the little prince’s enrollment, Lord Cen was even more nervous.

The Majesty has entrusted him with the important task of educating the prince, which shows the Majesty’s trust in him. He must not let the Majesty down.

He was just a nine-year-old child, but Lord Cen still didn’t believe that after decades of teaching, he couldn’t teach a child.

Lord Cen secretly decided that from the moment the Ninth Prince stepped into the upper study, he would discipline him strictly and make sure he got rid of his bad habits!

So early this morning, Lord Cen’s expression was particularly serious, and his clothes were quite solemn. He changed out of his usual comfortable robes and wore his official uniform to teach the princes. He wanted the Ninth Prince to be shocked by him the first time he saw him.

I have to say that this trick was quite useful. At least it scared the little grandson who was also enrolled in the school.

Looking at the young tutor with a sullen face on the stage and the majestic red official robe on him, he, who had originally looked relaxed but had been hanging out with the 9th uncle for years and was somewhat restless, suddenly shuddered and subconsciously straightened his back.

So, so scary…

Just like grandpa…

Lord Cen was pleased when he saw this.

It’s good to know that you are afraid. If you have fear in your heart, you won’t dare to slack off when studying.

Except for Lord Cen, the other princes were also very much “looking forward” to the arrival of their younger brother.

After all, he is the son of the imperial concubine, so they want to see what makes this younger brother so noble.

Especially the Fifth Prince, who still remembers how the Imperial Concubine humiliated his mother. He couldn’t touch the Imperial Concubine, so how could he touch his younger brother?

If this younger brother loses to me in academic studies, even the imperial concubine will not be able to say anything.

When the sixth brother first entered school, he was bullied by him. Later, he relied on his own diligence and hard work to finally impress the young master and won the young master’s favor. The fifth prince did not believe that his ninth brother could do it as well.

Not to mention him, even the Eighth Prince was a little curious. Of course, unlike the Fifth Prince, he was simply curious about his younger brother who was the smallest age difference from him.

For a moment, everyone had different thoughts, but their attention was basically focused on Ye Shuo.

As a result, they waited for two hours.

The Ninth Prince…didn’t come at all.

As soon as the morning hour arrived, Lord Cen could no longer sit still.

The fifth prince was also a little confused. What happened? Didn’t he say he would report today? Could it be that he remembered the wrong time?

Because the Fifth Prince had never seen his younger brother, he didn’t know Ye Shuo at all. He just thought that he had remembered the time wrong, so he began to gloat over his misfortune.

It looks like the Ninth Prince won’t be able to escape being beaten today.

It is unheard of to get a beating on the first day of studying in the study room.

The Sixth Prince standing by knew his younger brother, so his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I don’t know what trouble he will cause next.

I shouldn’t have believed that he could go to school peacefully. I should have thought of it earlier and should have asked him to come with me when I came to the study.

After realizing what was happening, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but hold his forehead with his hand.

Oh my god…

Among all the people, only the young grandson of the emperor was relatively innocent. At the moment, he was worried about whether the Ninth Uncle would be sick.

Wuwuwu, Uncle Nine, please don’t be in any trouble…

On the other side, in Qiuwu Palace——

Ye Shuo woke up almost at the same biological clock as usual. Perhaps it was because he was depressed about going to school, but he even slept for fifteen minutes longer than usual.

After all, it was earned through three trials. Wouldn’t it be a loss if I don’t get enough sleep?

Ye Shuo stretched and finally climbed out of bed slowly.

Then Xiao Luzi finally understood why the little prince asked people to save water last night.

Since water had already been prepared in the room, Ye Shuo didn’t even disturb anyone when he washed up.

Ancient clothes were more complicated. Xiao Luzi helped him put on his clothes. Ye Shuo reached out and patted his study partner who was squatting in the corner and kept mumbling. He looked upset and said, “Hey, wake up. It’s time to go.”

It’s too late to go to the study room now!

Xing Yucheng looked at him with despair.

However, the neatly dressed Ninth Prince really looked like the real deal, with an air of nobility that couldn’t be concealed, especially his pair of phoenix eyes. He was completely different from the one who had just been wrapped in a quilt and sleeping.

This is probably the only consolation.

Just when Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi were convinced that they would be discovered before they could even leave Qiuwu Palace, they didn’t expect that the Ninth Prince would take them with him, turn around in several directions, and then they walked out so openly without even alerting anyone. It was simply unbelievable!

This made Xiao Luzi suspicious that his master might have secretly prepared the plan in advance.

In order to skip school, the master really tried his best.

But in fact, it is not really the case. After all, after he has connected the internal energy, both his hearing and vision are much better than before. Ye Shuo can know in advance whether someone is coming from a long distance.

Also, he had observed Wu Yi’s lurking skills and probably knew what to do to be less likely to be noticed.

I wonder if Wu Yi would be so angry that he would cry if he knew that his skills were used in such a place.

Xing Yucheng thought, no matter what, the Ninth Prince should go to the study this time, but… the Ninth Prince turned a corner and went directly to the Imperial Garden.

“Come on, I’ll take you to find something to eat.”

I believe everyone knows the importance of breakfast, so how can we skip breakfast?

When Zhao Chongrong and Xu Chongyi saw Ye Shuo appear in Shulanzhai, they couldn’t help but cover their mouths with handkerchiefs.

“Oh my God, why are you here, little prince?”

Zhao Chongrong glanced at the small sundial outside and couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air: “Your Highness, aren’t you going to report to the study today?”

“In reply to Madam Zhao, I am late.” He casually mentioned the fact that he was late, which made Xing Yucheng’s eyes pop out of his head.

Then Ye Shuo said shamelessly: “Madam Zhao, I’m so hungry…”

When Zhao Chongrong heard the child say he was hungry, she came to her senses and quickly asked the kitchen to prepare something.

It only takes about an incense stick of time to prepare four simple dishes and a soup.

Xing Yucheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, glancing at the Ninth Prince from time to time. How could he eat anything now?

Ye Shuo was not in a hurry at all. He said while holding a piece of snack in his mouth, “Why are you in a hurry? Being late for a cup of tea is still late, and being late for a few hours is still late. We don’t mind this little bit. Come, drink this bowl of porridge.”

If he wasn’t afraid of going too far and angering his tutor, Ye Shuo would have been prepared to get a beating at the end of school every day before leaving.

Zhao Chongrong and Xu Chongyi thought about it and felt that he was right. Since they were already late, they might as well eat breakfast.

Zhao Chongrong even nodded and said, “Yes, the imperial physician told me to eat on time, otherwise it would hurt the body.”

But Xing Yucheng couldn’t accept this. In his opinion, he had to go early even if he was late. He never thought there would be such a way. He almost cried.

Xiao Luzi accepted it well. Well, he recovered faster after being beaten with a stick after eating a full meal.

As if he had seen the tragic and heroic spirit behind Xiao Luzi’s reckless eating, Ye Shuo stopped helplessly: “Don’t worry, I have read the rules of the study room in advance, and you won’t be implicated.”

Some were to punish the princes, some were to punish their companions, and some were to punish them all together. Wouldn’t it be enough to just single out the princes for punishment?

“It’s just three blows. Just eat your food. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it.”

If Lord Cen were here and heard that he had come up with this after studying the rules of the upper study, he would probably vomit blood.

Although the timing was wrong, Xing Yucheng was inexplicably moved when he heard these words.

After all, his father had told him when he was at home that although being a companion to the prince was an excellent job, it was not so easy to do.

The prince was too proud to be punished, so basically his companion would be punished instead. Xing Yucheng had already made preparations, and considering his future, it was nothing. But when he heard this suddenly, he was stunned.

I thought he didn’t care about me and that little eunuch at all…

Xiaoluzi next to him also put down his bowl and chopsticks at some point.

Thinking that the Ninth Prince was only seven years old, and he was already twelve, he would definitely be able to resist better than him, so he blurted out, “It’s okay, Ninth Prince, just let the Master beat me when the time comes.”

“Well, why are you being so polite to me? At most, we can each take a day. Even if the beating is severe, it will help you recover.”

Xing Yucheng: “…”

Xing Yucheng’s newly-felt emotion disappeared in an instant.

“Your Highness, are you planning to be late again in the future?”

“What else?” Ye Shuo didn’t even look at him, only focusing on the roasted bamboo fungus in front of him: “Don’t you think that three boards in exchange for a good night’s sleep is really a good deal?”

Can it still be like this? ?

Xing Yucheng was in a state of complete confusion.

On the other side, after Wang Ziquan shouted “dismiss the court” in a resounding voice, Emperor Jingwen finally left the court.

Thinking that today was the day his son was going to the upper study, the first thing Emperor Jingwen did after leaving court was to call his attendant over and ask, “Where is the ninth prince? Has he arrived at the upper study now?”

Young eunuch: “…”

He had been squatting at the door of the study for a long time, but he didn’t see anyone at all!

“Your Majesty, no, no…”

The young eunuch and Wang Ziquan thought that the emperor would be furious when he heard this, but after waiting for a long time… Eh? He didn’t seem to be angry?

It’s just his expression. Although His Majesty has tried his best to remain calm, one can still detect the subtle pain and helplessness in his expression.

Emperor Jingwen also thought that he would be angry, but he did not expect that after hearing the news, he was not angry at all. Instead, he had a feeling of “as expected”.

At this moment, his heart was very calm, really, very calm, and he even felt like laughing a little.

So he really laughed.

Then, the young eunuch and Wang Ziquan next to them went crazy.
