Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 123: Departure



In her opinion, how could a mere princess be as noble as a prince?

But the fact is that the little princess is treated much better than her little prince in every aspect.

This fact was hard for the queen to accept from the bottom of her heart.

What’s even more hateful is that this matter was instigated by the Ninth Prince.

He brought the little princess directly to the Grand Tutor and begged him to teach her to read. Most people would never do such a thing. Only the Ninth Prince, who was so thick-skinned, could do it.

But it was because of the Ninth Prince’s shamelessness that this thing actually happened. There is nothing more absurd and bizarre in the world than this.

After hearing this, how could the queen not feel upset?

But no matter how upset she was, she couldn’t use the same method to force the tutor to agree.

Not to mention that the queen didn’t want to be associated with the prince’s teacher at all, it was not certain whether the other party could teach her son wholeheartedly. Even if the other party was willing to teach wholeheartedly, the queen couldn’t bring herself to ask him for help.

There are some things that are okay for children to do, but it would be inappropriate for adults to do them.

There was no other way, the Queen could only ask Emperor Jingwen to appoint a private tutor and ask her brother to report the Ninth Prince’s deed. As expected, the former was immediately rejected.

Emperor Jingwen really couldn’t understand. The little grandsons and the princes were all in the Shangshufang now. Look at it, except Xiaojiu, which prince didn’t come out of the Shangshufang? Lord Cen was not much worse than the Taifu. Why did the Queen have to be so eccentric?

It’s right for a mother to want the best for her child, but the more this is the case, the less likely it is that Emperor Jingwen will agree.

Emperor Jingwen didn’t want to give the Queen any hope. He didn’t understand why the Queen just couldn’t understand.

As for the latter, the King’s uncle reported Xiaojiu to the emperor, saying that the Ninth Prince acted absurdly and disregarded palace rules. Emperor Jingwen was so angry that he laughed.

The queen couldn’t even accommodate a princess, which made her seem even more stingy.

Being against the rules is one thing, and the queen’s insistence on holding on to it is another. The former is that Xiaojiu is being absurd, but it is not the first time that Xiaojiu has acted absurdly, and she is just a princess. Even Emperor Jingwen is willing to take good care of her before she gets married.

The latter is that the queen has lost her tolerance for others and has really gone backwards as she grows older.

Therefore, Emperor Jingwen first fined Xiaojiu half a year’s salary, and then scolded his uncle in the court.

The other ministers did not say anything either. They also felt that the princess was of no importance at all. Moreover, the emperor was particularly fond of the little princess. Minister He and others were too lazy to make the emperor unhappy because of this matter.

The civil officials did not say a word, not to mention the military generals. The Duke of Zhen took the lead and scolded the king’s uncle harshly. Naturally, the matter ended up in nothing.

After hearing this, the queen was so angry that her hands shook for a long time.

But there is no way, my son’s education is already imminent.

The little prince was weak, and he was already three and a half years old before he could finally talk and walk. This delay lasted a full six months. The queen saw it and was very worried.

If the emperor did not come forward, the teacher she or her uncle’s family could find would be worse than Lord Cen in the Upper Study.

In the end, the queen had no choice but to send her son to the study.

Sometimes the more people lack something, the more they want to show it. Now that the Empress is in decline and afraid of being laughed at, she pays more attention to pomp and circumstance.

On the day when the little prince was sent to the upper study, the queen arranged for four or five maids, eunuchs and tutors. The group was so grand that when the ceremonial procession passed by, all the palace servants gave way and saluted.

To show her importance, the Queen came personally to see him off, so there were even more personal palace maids around.

After all, it was the first day in the study, so the queen did not get up so early. When she appeared with the little prince, it was already bright.

The queen held her son’s hand and walked slowly along the path in the palace. She had a smile on her face and would lean over to give him a few words of advice from time to time. She looked like a real loving mother.

But the little prince was not moved at all, and even seemed to want to break free.

But how could the Queen, an adult, do as he wished? She immediately held her hand tighter.

The little prince’s expression was excited for a moment, but when he met the queen’s gaze, he shuddered suddenly and then immediately lowered his head.

The queen was satisfied, and her voice became softer: “When the time comes, my son will go to the upper study room, he must study hard and not disappoint his mother’s expectations.”

So far, the only thing that comforts the queen is that her son has a good brain. Although he is not talkative, he is very smart.

“You are the only hope for your mother in this life. You must perform well and strive to surpass everyone else. You are not in good health. Only if you study hard, your brothers won’t look down on you.”

The queen kept on giving instructions and didn’t notice the change in her son’s expression at all.

Just at this time, Ye Shuo also came to send his sister to school.

He said he was sending his sister away, but in fact it was Jianjian who was dragging him away.

Ye Shuo’s old habit of sleeping in the morning came back again, but this time it was not Emperor Jingwen or the guards who called him, but the little Princess Jianjian.

After all, the master said yesterday that we must arrive before the hour of Chen. In Jianjian’s opinion, since the master has already set the time, how can she be late?

“Jianjian, why don’t you go first and let your brother sleep a little longer.” Ye Shuo yawned and begged.

“No, Jianjian…supervise…my brother…” Jianjian was particularly stubborn about this matter.

Ye Shuo wanted to cry but had no tears, having completely forgotten that she was now at the age where she should take her teacher’s words as imperial decrees, and that the words of the Grand Tutor were even more effective than those of her stepfather.

The Grand Tutor casually asked her to supervise herself, and Jianjian really carried out her orders meticulously.

Ye Shuo was annoyed. What a mistake. What a mistake.

Just as the brother and sister were trying their best to pull and drag the baby, they happened to run into the Queen’s procession.

Ye Shuo was stunned at first, then he put away the playful smile on his face, and then pulled Jian Jian to salute: “Greetings to the Queen.”

What the queen was most impatient about now was seeing him, and the little princess secondly, so she didn’t stay for long at all. She coldly told the two of them to get up and leave with her people.

The Queen’s procession almost passed by Ye Shuo.

Ye Shuo once again saw the little prince whom he seldom met.

If he remembered correctly, the little prince should be three months older than Jianjian, but now, the little prince is more than half a head shorter than Jianjian.

Other aspects are even more incomparable.

Jianjian is white and plump, like a lucky doll, but the little prince is very thin, and his expression is dull, and he does not have the liveliness and cuteness of a child at all.

The little prince was surrounded by maids and eunuchs. The maids and eunuchs formed a wall and imprisoned the little prince firmly inside.

For some reason, this thought suddenly flashed through Ye Shuo’s mind.

Not sure if the little prince noticed Ye Shuo’s gaze or if the queen said something to him, but he turned his head for no reason.

Just as Ye Shuo was about to smile, Jian Jian had already subconsciously waved at him.

How could a child understand the complicated thoughts of adults? Jianjian was an extrovert by nature. Wouldn’t he be more enthusiastic when he saw his peers?

The little prince seemed to be startled and wanted to respond, but the queen pulled his arm hard. The little prince staggered and immediately couldn’t take care of this side.

“That’s the Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess. Especially the Ninth Prince, Mother warns you that no matter what, you must not become a person like him in the future. Remember?”

“I remember.”

These two siblings, one is uneducated and the other breaks the rules. In short, neither of them is good. The imperial concubine is vulgar and unlettered, so she raised such children.

The queen was worried and couldn’t help but remind him again: “You are not allowed to get close to them or play with them in the future. Do you hear me?”

The little prince hesitated and did not dare to resist at all.

The other side.

Ye Shuo had long known that the King’s uncle had reported him, and he had roughly guessed who came up with the idea.

But what’s the use of this?

He is now just an oligarch prince. His cheap father can’t take away his prince status because of this matter, right?

Ye Shuo plans to participate in politics in the future. Whether he participates or not has no effect on him at all. As for the salary, to be honest, his mother gives him more pocket money every month.

Therefore, the King’s Uncle and the people behind him were completely wasting their time.

As for the reason why the other party did this, Ye Shuo almost knew it.

All I can say is that Ye Shuo would never stop sending Jianjian to school because of something like this, and it is even more impossible for him to give up his own life because of considering other people’s feelings.

People who are malicious towards him will be malicious towards him no matter what he does. The feelings of others are not within Ye Shuo’s consideration.

Soon, Ye Shuo and Jian Jian came to the East Palace together.

Having spent a long time in contact with the little princess recently, the Grand Tutor’s mood has become increasingly complicated. He has sighed in his heart for who knows how many times, wishing that the Ninth Prince could be swapped with the little princess. If only the Ninth Prince could be as smart and studious as the little princess.

Although the Grand Tutor did not say it directly, the look he gave the two of them was full of regret.

A princess will eventually get married, so no one would say anything even if she is not very well educated. It is such a waste of intelligence on a princess.

If it were an ordinary child, he would not take this matter to heart at all, but Jianjian was brought up by Ye Shuo himself after all, so she inexplicably began to feel unhappy about the attitude of the tutor.

Ye Shuo felt somewhat relieved when he saw this.

In Ye Shuo’s opinion, what others think of her is not important. What is important is Jianjian herself and how she sees herself.

Taifu had never read books like “Instructions for Women” and did not know how to teach girls. He taught Jianjian the same way the Taifu taught boys.

Women are no different from men if they learn the same things as men. Just wait and see the day when the cloth that is now covering women’s eyes in this world will no longer be able to hide their sharp eyes.

The so-called choice is not to go with the flow and finally get married when you are old enough. It is a choice to understand all the things and the truth and then decide to get married. It is completely different in nature.

So, we still have to find a way to make her study hard.

Ye Shuo touched his chin and came to this conclusion.

For some reason, the little princess with pointy hair, who was only three years old, suddenly felt a chill on her back.

Just when Ye Shuo was hesitating whether to teach Jian Jian martial arts, the Sixth Prince quietly celebrated his fifteenth birthday.

The Sixth Prince had finally reached the age to leave the Shangshufang, participate in state affairs, and build his own residence outside the palace.

And then there is…

The eldest prince is coming back.
