Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Before leaving, the eldest prince reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Then came the second prince. Even though he was the second prince, he was not reluctant to show goodwill to people with whom he had no direct conflict of interest.

Finally, there are the fourth prince and the fifth prince.

As for the Seventh Prince, he was merely a vassal of the Fifth Prince and naturally had no right to sympathise with Ye Shuo.

Ye Shuo couldn’t free his hands because he was holding the child, and one of his shoulders was hurt by the patting.

Looking at the backs of several people, Ye Shuo was confused.

Then Ye Shuo looked at the Sixth Prince beside him: “What’s going on?”

The Sixth Prince was silent for a moment, then said, “Go ask your father.”

Ye Shuo originally wanted to hand the child to him, but then he changed his mind and thought that since he had brought little Ye Jin here, he should go and pay his respects to his stepfather, so he said, “Then you wait outside. I’ll go in and ask Father if he wants to come to Qiuwu Palace to have dinner with us tonight.”

What can the Sixth Prince do? He can only wait.

Ye Shuo went in holding the child.

Emperor Jingwen was writing something at that time. When he heard the announcement, he looked up subconsciously and saw his unmarried son taking care of the child.

Emperor Jingwen felt a headache every time he saw this skillful posture.

Ye Shuo first greeted his adopted father with the nervous little Ye Jin, then walked closer and asked, “By the way, Dad, what did you just say to my eldest brother and the others? Why did they look at me like that just now?”

Emperor Jingwen sighed.

When will the little bastard change his temper of saying whatever he wants? Stop being so blunt all the time.

Some things should be treated as if they were not seen even if they were discovered.

Although he thought so in his heart, Emperor Jingwen said: “I just mentioned to your brothers that you left the palace to build a mansion.”

Oh my god!

Is he finally going to be free?! He is not being ungrateful. After all, his mother and Jianjian are still in the palace. Filial piety and staying in the palace and with his mother every day are two completely different things.

It is a very natural thing for people to grow up and then go out on their own. When animals grow up, they have to leave their mother’s arms and go out on their own to explore the world.

After so many years, Ye Shuo also wanted to breathe the air outside the palace.

A hint of anticipation and surprise subconsciously flashed in his eyes, but then Ye Shuo thought of something and immediately restrained himself.

Ye Shuo still remembered that when his cheap father asked this question last year, he just smiled and his cheap father was so angry that he immediately locked him up for another year and couldn’t stop scolding him for being heartless. Ye Shuo couldn’t make the same mistake again.

Just like that, Emperor Jingwen watched the little bastard with a distorted expression as if he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to, pretending to be in pain, but in fact he didn’t even notice that his white teeth were exposed.

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Emperor Jingwen was immediately angered by this unfilial son.

“You bastard, you can’t even pretend!” Emperor Jingwen was angry that he dared to treat him so perfunctorily.

Ye Shuo felt that his stepfather was really hard to please. In his heart, he liked him for being like this, but in his words, he disliked him for being like this.

“Oh, Dad, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. You’ll get sick from being angry.” Besides, he won’t change if you get angry, so it’s useless.

“Oh, by the way, father, it’s been such a long time, and I haven’t been to my own prince’s palace to see it. Have you bought all the furniture and ornaments inside?”

Speaking of which, his son is really something. He asked for leave twice before, saying that he wanted to go and see the progress of the construction of his mansion. If Emperor Jingwen had not been careful and asked the secret guards to follow him, he would have been fooled by him.

What the hell did he do to go and check the progress of the construction? As soon as he stepped out of the imperial city gate, he disappeared in a flash and didn’t come back until it was dark in the evening.

From then on, this excuse was completely invalid for Emperor Jingwen.

Compared to Ye Shuo, who was a hands-off boss, Emperor Jingwen, as an emperor, at least went to see him several times.

Emperor Jingwen was not the kind of emperor who was lazy and ignorant. He naturally knew how serious the situation was in the Imperial Household Department, where they deceived their superiors and bullied the weak. But that was human nature and he could not do anything about it, so Emperor Jingwen had to go there in person to alert them.

Just because of the renovation of the Ninth Prince’s Palace, the servants of the Imperial Household Department had to deal with two batches of people, and finally stopped the servants from having the idea of ​​​massive corruption.

Therefore, Ye Shuo’s prince’s mansion was built to be both large and luxurious, which was considered as compensation from Emperor Jingwen to him.

As for what the compensation is, the answer is self-evident.

“Almost everything has been prepared.” Emperor Jingwen answered himself without even needing Wang Ziquan’s reminder.

Sometimes the difference between caring about someone and not caring about him is so huge, especially for an emperor who has so many sons and cannot devote so much energy to the harem. A child who wins his heart is like a treasure, while a child who dislikes him is just a weed.

In addition to the 300,000 taels, Emperor Jingwen also picked out a lot of good things from his private treasury, and now they are all placed in his son’s house.

Emperor Jingwen didn’t even mention it to anyone.

“After you leave the palace, remember to report to the Ministry of Works every day.” The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works, with the Ministry of Works being the last. At this point, Emperor Jingwen could not help but pause.

This decision had been made before, but when it was actually spoken, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but wonder if this would be too harsh on Xiaojiu.

Cutting off his path to power was too cruel for a prince.

But if we don’t do this, the eldest prince and the others probably won’t agree. As time goes by, Xiaojiu will eventually get hurt.

However, Ye Shuo’s first reaction after hearing this was – Isn’t this completely liberating?

You have to know that Xing Yucheng’s father is now the Minister of Industry, the highest official in the entire Ministry of Industry. Knowing that Xing Yucheng is his companion, rounding it off, the Minister of Industry is also considered one of his own. Apart from anything else, there is no problem in helping to punch in and sign in.

After all…Xing Yucheng has taken over the house.

The five taels of silver given at the time was really a huge profit.

Zou Wu has now been promoted to the fifth rank of the Ministry of Works with her skills. She is below the vice minister of the Ministry of Works. Once the vice minister retires, she will be able to take over immediately. In this case, Ye Shuo can go if he wants to, or not go if he doesn’t want to?

Ye Shuo almost laughed out loud.

“Thank you for your consideration, Father!”

This time, he even called out his father.

For a moment, Emperor Jingwen suddenly didn’t know what to say.

His younger brother, the Prince of Jin, knew that he did not have the ability, so he gradually gave up the idea. But his own son, who was born not to love power, tried desperately to run away, as if power was more poisonous than poison. This was the first time that Emperor Jingwen had seen such a thing.

In the past, Emperor Jingwen could say that it was because he was young and did not understand these things. But now that he is already sixteen years old and is about to leave the palace to set up his own palace, this reason can no longer convince Emperor Jingwen.

After a moment, Emperor Jingwen sighed.

It’s better this way. After all, there is a son with me who has nothing to do with imperial power, only the father-son relationship.

“Okay, okay, I’ve finished speaking, you can go out first.” Emperor Jingwen waved his hand.

Ye Shuo was about to leave with little Ye Jin in his arms, and then he thought of something and asked casually, “By the way, my sixth brother and the Sixth Royal Concubine are here tonight, Dad, do you want to come back for dinner?”

Emperor Jingwen didn’t think much about it and nodded casually.

After so many years, he has almost gotten used to it.

When Ye Shuo walked out of the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, the Sixth Prince’s feet were sore and painful.

The Sixth Prince was already very tired after standing for a whole afternoon, and he didn’t expect that he would have to wait again. He was even more tired.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo could only say: “You deserve it.”

“You said you were not feeling well, why don’t you just ask Eunuch Wang to move a chair for you?”

The Sixth Prince really wanted to beat up this brother who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Now, like the eldest prince, the more he looked at his younger brother, the angrier he became.

“If the prince doesn’t sit down, how can we sit down first?”

Ye Shuo: “…”

“Then tell the prince!” If you can’t save face, just tell the prince. The prince won’t be unwilling to cooperate with such a small matter.

Ye Shuo has always wondered what the purpose of their mouths is. Is there any problem that cannot be solved through communication?

The Sixth Prince was stuck. No matter what, he couldn’t say it.

No wonder Ye Shuo felt that most of the time they were just asking for trouble.

“And the same goes for Jin’er. He’s still so young. Don’t push him all the time.”

The Sixth Prince was powerless to do anything about this matter. He knew that his son was weak and only learned to walk at the age of one and a half. But the Sixth Prince could not do anything. He only had this one son, and he could not have as many sons as the Eldest Prince and the Crown Prince. This was the only way he could do it.

His son must be smarter than all the other imperial grandchildren so that he won’t fall behind.

Fortunately, even though the Sixth Prince was anxious, he did not go too extreme and always controlled the situation carefully.

However, little Ye Jin seemed to have sensed his father’s expectations and learned self-discipline without any instruction.

Ye Shuo wanted to persuade him, but didn’t know how.

The two looked at each other in silence and walked along the way.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and Ye Shuo finally waited for the day to leave the palace. The imperial concubine felt a pang in her heart, and she wanted to cry, but when she heard her son laughing so loudly, the imperial concubine thought for several times and really couldn’t cry.

All the sadness in her heart turned into anger, and the imperial concubine almost took action.

When Emperor Jingwen arrived, Ye Shuo immediately stopped acting rashly.

I have already performed ninety-nine bows, and this one shudder is all that’s left. I can’t let anything go wrong.

However, Emperor Jingwen felt unhappy when he saw his grown-up son.

Emperor Jingwen is now old, and he would recall the past from time to time.

I still remember that when I first saw the little bastard, he was only that big, staggering and unable to walk steadily. But now, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has grown taller than me.

A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but give him a lot of instructions.

Ye Shuo was only concerned with imagining his wonderful future life and didn’t notice the implicit meaning of his words, which told him to remember to visit the palace more often when he had time.

But Emperor Jingwen was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. He would never say much, let alone speak directly. His words could usually only be understood by listening in a roundabout way. When he met someone like Ye Shuo, it was really useless.

It’s not that Ye Shuo really didn’t understand, he was just too lazy to guess.

Emperor Jingwen was so angry that he almost died when he saw his son saying “hmm” and “ah” so much.

How could I have given birth to such a thing? !

“Get out, get out of here!”

“Go away and never come back!”

Everything was fine at the beginning, but now he started scolding again. After so many years, Wang Ziquan had become accustomed to it.

Ye Shuo pretended to be reluctant and said goodbye to his mother, stepfather and Jian Jian in tears.

Seeing his tears, Emperor Jingwen was instinctively startled, but before he could see clearly, he saw Ye Shuo had turned around.

In the end, all that was left of Emperor Jingwen and the imperial concubine was a back view.

It has always been like this between parents and children. Although they are the closest people, they cannot accompany each other forever.

Wang Zisheng was the emperor’s close attendant, and at this moment he subconsciously wanted to comfort him. The prince’s leaving the palace to build a mansion proved that the prince had grown up, which was a good thing. But when he looked up inadvertently, he saw that the emperor’s eyes were slightly red…
