Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 206: Play



But the children of the royal family are different. Each one is more obedient and sensible than the other. They don’t cry or make a fuss. Even if they are bullied, they will just hold back tears and try their best to hold back their tears. Aren’t they more interesting than toys?

However, when the Sixth Prince heard this, he almost laughed out of anger.

Look at what he said. Can children just play around with that?

“If you want to play, go give birth to one yourself!” The Sixth Prince’s voice was crisp and decisive.

The moment the words fell, Ye Shuo’s expression suddenly fell.

The Sixth Prince then remembered that his younger brother had already reached adulthood, but he didn’t even have a maid to serve him.

Without women, there would naturally be no children.

The Sixth Prince subconsciously protected his son more closely.

Thinking that Yao Zhi would leave after returning this time, Ye Shuo felt so hurt that he became furious and wanted to steal the Sixth Prince’s son while he was not paying attention.

The Sixth Prince was well prepared and followed suit immediately.

The young Ye Jin could only see the two people interacting with each other above his head, and he couldn’t help but feel dazzled.

His father had taught him a lot, but he never taught him what to do if something like this happened. Just when Ye Jin was at a loss, the next moment, he felt his feet were off the ground.

After all, the Sixth Prince was not good at fighting, so how could he be a match for Ye Shuo?

The moment Ye Shuo succeeded, he quickly picked up the child and put him on his shoulders, letting the child ride on his neck.

Ye Jin subconsciously hugged his head tightly.

Ye Shuo grabbed Xiao Ye Jin’s feet, and in the Sixth Prince’s angry eyes, he jumped three feet away: “Don’t worry, I will return it to you in the evening.”

Fire could almost be spewing from the Sixth Prince’s eyes.

He never thought that strength and agility were such important things. The Sixth Prince could only watch his younger brother take his son away leisurely.

“Come on, Uncle nine will take you for a stroll around this mountain.”

Compared to his strict and well-behaved father, the Ninth Prince in front of him was obviously much more lively and not so serious.

This was the first time Ye Jin had come into contact with such a person and he was very uncomfortable with him, but how should he put it, he seemed… not annoying.

It is the nature of children to love playing, and they need to rely on this nature to constantly explore the world. But unfortunately, the royal family’s upbringing always suppresses this nature of children.

If the repression is too severe, the child will no longer be like a child.

As Ye Shuo continued to move forward, Ye Jin passed by the Sutra Library, Dharma Hall, Main Hall, Heavenly King Hall… these quiet places of Buddhism, and Ye Shuo and Ye Jin subconsciously kept silent.

Then there are the bell tower and drum tower, as well as the places where male and female guests live respectively in the back mountain.

In the past, Ye Jin had always been standing on the ground. He was short and when he looked at everyone, he naturally felt that they were insurmountable and unattainable. But now that he had changed his perspective, he felt that the view in front of him had suddenly become much wider.

It turns out that this is how the world looks like in the eyes of adults.

It just so happened that Ye Shuo was tall, and Ye Jin felt that even the air he breathed was much fresher.

Watching the Sixth Prince’s son passing by and looking down at him, the eldest prince felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

Only Xiaojiu could let a child ride on his neck.

However, the so-called condescending attitude was actually the eldest prince’s overthinking. Ye Jin just glanced at him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Shuo quickly slipped away quietly.

After a while, Jianjian also saw his brother who was doing nothing and wandering around with his little nephew.

Jianjian felt that if he was not a prince, he would have been regarded as a gangster by the people.

Jianjian took a deep breath and finally resisted the urge to call him and ask him to be serious.

Walking further back, passing the dining hall, you will see a large vegetable garden. I think the monks in the temple rely on this large vegetable garden to be self-sufficient on this mountain. The vegetarian food they had for lunch today should be taken from here.

Ye Shuo grabbed his nephew’s ankle and watched with great interest.

At first Ye Jin thought it was boring, but as time went by, he became fascinated by watching the monks picking cabbages.

After the fresh cabbage was picked, it was sent to the back kitchen. The monks first washed the cabbage with mountain spring water, then drained the water, added coarse salt and rubbed it…

Under the gaze of Ye Shuo and Ye Jin, the monk, who performed the same movements thousands of times every day, gradually became stiff.

Although the monks of Bailu Temple are monks, they are also practitioners. If they can really achieve the state of having no desires and no demands, they will no longer be monks, but will become Buddhas.

After all, they could not completely escape from the realm of laymen. How could the monks not be nervous when being stared at by two nobles?

Fortunately, Ye Shuo’s attention was quickly diverted. Seeing that several monks beside him had finished picking cabbages and were carrying baskets, as if they were going out, Ye Shuo casually asked, “What are you doing?”

“Amitabha, in reply to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, I and my companions would like to go to the mountains to pick some fresh mushrooms and bamboo shoots.”

The monk put his hands together and bowed respectfully.

When Ye Shuo heard this, he immediately became excited and asked the monk for a bamboo basket.

The monk was confused by his actions, and when he came to his senses, Ye Shuo had already joined their team.

Ye Jin also moved from Ye Shuo’s shoulders into the bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was neither too big nor too small, just enough to hold a child like him.

Although winter mushrooms and bamboo shoots are delicious and juicy, there are not many of them. Ye Jin was a little reserved at first, but soon he also started picking up mushrooms.  

Compared to studying at home, studying in the mountains seems to be a different kind of fun.

But the pity was that Ye Jin had been spoiled since childhood, how could he know so many mountain products? He saw the Ninth Prince next to him putting the mushrooms he picked into the bamboo basket from time to time, and thought that all kinds of mushrooms could be put in it.

Children particularly like brightly coloured things, and they found the target in a short while.

“Ninth Uncle, look!”

When Ye Jin came back with a bunch of mushrooms, he saw the young man in front of him blinking rapidly.

Ye Jin was such a smart kid, he subconsciously asked, “Ninth Uncle, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just that Uncle Nine forgot to tell you that the brighter the mushrooms, the more likely they are to be poisonous.”

Poison? ? ?

Ye Jin threw the mushroom in his hand to the ground almost instantly.

When he looked up again, Ye Jin looked at him in disbelief.

Why didn’t the Ninth Prince tell us such an important thing just now!

As if he didn’t see the accusing look in the child’s eyes, Ye Shuo touched his chin and said, “It’s not a big deal. We have a lot of people. Even if you put all the fruits you picked into the pot, it would only make people feel numb. They will recover after three to five days of rest. It won’t kill anyone.”

As Ye Shuo spoke more and more, Ye Jin’s eyes gradually became filled with fear.

Isn’t this scary enough? If Grandpa emperor eats it…

Ye Jin couldn’t help but shiver.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into laughter.

Even though Ye Jin was such a good-tempered kid, he was almost pissed to death by him.

“Ninth Uncle!”

“Okay, okay, at worst Uncle Nine will teach you how to distinguish poisonous mushrooms from normal mushrooms.”

Looking at his angry little nephew, Ye Shuo rubbed his head.

However, as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser, so Ye Jin was not easily fooled by him again.

Because of the previous incident, Ye Jin suffered from a lack of common sense, so he studied very hard when Ye Shuo taught him to identify the various plants around him.

This alone was not enough, Ye Jin had to verify with the monks around him from time to time. He was so cautious at such a young age, worthy of being taught by Xiao Ming.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

It was not until the evening that Ye Shuo brought Ye Jin out of the mountain.

No matter how careful he was, after all, he had to climb up and down, pick mushrooms from wood and mud, and wield a hoe to dig bamboo shoots. Ye Jin was already in a mess.

When Ye Jin was immersed in happiness at first, he didn’t think anything was wrong. He even thought that the Ninth Prince was not as uneducated as the rumours said. There were so many things and plants in the mountains, and he knew them all. He was obviously a very smart person.

But soon, as the distance between him and his father got closer and closer and his father’s face became visibly ugly, Ye Jin woke up instantly.

Ye Jin felt that no matter what, the Ninth Prince, as the culprit, would always say a few good words for him, but…

After letting Ye Jin out of the bamboo basket, Ye Shuo ran away without hesitation, leaving him behind.

The child was left alone and dumbfounded.

Looking at his son who looked like he was dug out of the ground, covered in mud, with dull eyes like a beggar, the Sixth Prince’s head instantly heated up.

The other side.

The eldest prince soon received news from the foot of the mountain that a young man was standing in front of the eldest prince’s door. As the servant at the door informed him, the eldest prince saw him for a short while.

The eldest prince was not unfamiliar with this face. The young man was a subordinate of General Xu. Because he was nimble and reliable, General Xu often asked him to deliver messages back and forth.

As for General Xu, he is a fierce general under the command of the eldest prince. He has been through life and death with the eldest prince for many years. When they attacked Beiting and captured three cities in a row, General Xu also made an indispensable contribution. He can be said to be one of the most trusted people of the eldest prince.

This time when they came to Zilu Peak, the eldest prince brought him along without thinking twice.

In addition to General Xu, there is another general who is in charge of the guard work and is also the eldest prince’s confidant.

Seeing the young man suddenly coming up the mountain, the eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and then asked him what happened at the foot of the mountain.

“It’s not a big deal, but General Xu’s men seem to have discovered traces of outsiders at the foot of the mountain, and General Xu asked if we should go check it out.” The young man looked respectful and didn’t dare to hide anything.

Although this is a royal temple, villagers often appear around it, and…

Suddenly remembering what the second prince said, the eldest prince said in an uncanny way: “No need.”

“Then I will go and reply to General Xu’s words right away.”

The young man didn’t think much about it and quickly went back to report.

A moment later, news came from the front that Emperor Jingwen had come out from the host.
