Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Now, more than a year has passed since his youngest son got married. Emperor Jingwen thought that given how much they loved each other, Princess Rui should have been pregnant a long time ago. However, he waited and waited, but after such a long time, there was no result.

Finally, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but ask, but the answer he got almost made him die of anger.

This bastard doesn’t even think about having a child now!

“You turned a deaf ear to everything I said to you!” I hinted at him in both obvious and covert ways, and he just pretended not to know, right?

Emperor Jingwen was almost pissed off by him.

However, having a child is a very serious matter. I can’t just give birth to one with Yao Zhi because of my cheap father’s expectations, right? This is too irresponsible.

What’s more, he and Yao Zhi are not ready yet.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help scratching his chin: “Well… my son wants to play for a few more years.”

Play, play, play, he only knows how to play!

If Emperor Jingwen was not unable to get out of bed, he would have to give him a good beating.

Seeing that his forceful approach was not going to work, Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and began to appeal to his emotions and reason: “My health is getting worse and worse, can’t you just listen to me? Just this once, is that all that’s not going to work?”

Although my cheap dad’s behaviour is quite soft-hearted, there are some things that cannot be confused at all. This is the principle.

So Ye Shuo hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head: “Dad, why don’t you change your request? This… is really not possible.”

Although Ye Shuo was extremely sincere, as an emperor, what did Emperor Jingwen want? What else did he need? Everything he had now, which one was not given by himself?

Emperor Jingwen wanted to have a grandson, or at least a granddaughter, as long as it was his child, but it was obvious that it was too late.

Emperor Jingwen felt more and more depressed: “Get out, Wang Ziquan, go and drive him out for me!”

Wang Ziquan had no choice but to silently say “I’m sorry”, then beat Ye Shuo out with a rattan stick.

“…What happened again?” As soon as the Sixth Prince stepped into Chengming Palace, he saw Xiaojiu in such an embarrassing state and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Ye Shuo shrugged, his tone extremely helpless: “What else can I do? I made my father angry.”

The Sixth Prince was speechless. It was already this time and his younger brother didn’t even bother to obey their father.

But considering his personality, it would be strange if he really became obedient.

“Forget it. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going back to Qiuwu Palace for dinner. See you later!”

Looking at his brother’s hurried back, the Sixth Prince laughed, and then when he turned around, he couldn’t help but become respectful and cautious again.

Since Ye Shuo was already being pushed forward by Emperor Jingwen, how could Yao Zhi be left behind? Even the Imperial Concubine had mentioned it several times, both openly and covertly, but was blocked by Ye Shuo.

The Imperial Concubine was almost pissed off by her unruly son.

“Wait wait wait wait, how many years do you want me to wait?”

Defei and her family will soon have grandchildren who will start giving birth one after another. How can the Imperial Noble Concubine not be anxious?

But there was nothing she could do despite her anxiety. Ye Shuo continued to do what he wanted. Anyway, he was used to being willful. In the end, Emperor Jingwen and the Imperial Concubine had no choice but to compromise.

While Yao Zhi felt relieved, she also felt a little distressed.

Since the two of them have already gotten married, the issue of offspring has become a matter for both of them. Now that he has to shoulder the entire responsibility alone, Yao Zhi can’t help feeling a little guilty.

But she really wasn’t ready to be a mother, so there was nothing she could do except to be nice to him and compensate him.

Once Ye Shuo can no longer hold on, he will choose to transfer his firepower to the innocent Jian Jian, since she is free anyway.

It just so happens that Jianjian is already fourteen years old, which is the right age to discuss marriage.

“Mother, you only care about me, why don’t you care about my sister? If you don’t pay attention to the young talents in the capital, I’m afraid they will be picked up by others by then.”

Feeling her mother’s gaze, Jianjian’s heart immediately tightened.

At this moment, Jianjian really wanted to eat her brother alive, bones and all.

Jianjian acted decisively and refused decisively.

In her opinion, having a brother was troublesome enough, and she could barely handle it herself. She really didn’t need an outsider to come and cause more trouble.  

This son and daughter, one only knows how to play and refuses to have children, while the other regards engagement as a disaster, which makes the Imperial Concubine worried to death.

Really, no one is worry-free.

After hearing all this, Emperor Jingwen was also very worried. He didn’t dare to give up so easily.

But helpless, sometimes, there are things that he can’t decide.

Although Emperor Jingwen has been very cooperative with the imperial physician and takes medicine every day, his health is still getting worse day by day. At this moment, Emperor Jingwen’s body is like a funnel, and the sand in the funnel has now reached the bottom. No matter what, he can’t delay it any longer.

Spring soon arrived. On Ye Shuo’s birthday, Emperor Jingwen, who had been somewhat listless for nearly half a month, suddenly perked up for the first time. He was not drowsy as usual, but opened his eyes early in the morning.

When Wang Ziquan came in the morning, he found that Emperor Jingwen had gotten down from the ground by himself, and the basin of water in his hand immediately began to ripple.

In just a moment, Wang Ziquan recovered as usual, and even laughed: “Your Majesty got up really early today, and I didn’t even have time to call you. It shows that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Meng is really effective. I see that your complexion has improved a lot.”

Emperor Jingwen smiled and said nothing.

When Ye Shuo arrived, Emperor Jingwen, who was also not dressed properly, was startled, but then he had a bad premonition in his mind.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Ye Shuo pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Dad, you got up early today, but what do you want to do?”

Seeing that he hadn’t reacted yet, Emperor Jingwen said unhappily, “Isn’t today your birthday?”

Ye Shuo just remembered that this was the case. There were too many things going on recently, which made him feel depressed. Ye Shuo completely forgot what day it was today.

Seeing his youngest son in a daze, Emperor Jingwen did not hesitate to speak again: “It is still early in the morning, so you can accompany me to stroll in the Imperial Garden.”

Ye Shuo naturally agreed.

Maybe he had a premonition of something, but Emperor Jingwen said a lot while they were strolling around the garden. Most of it was about the future. He told Ye Shuo to stop being so willful and to control his temper.

In the end, Ye Shuo could hardly maintain the expression on his face.

Under the gaze of Emperor Jingwen, he nodded silently: “Son, I understand.”

Emperor Jingwen was relieved.

At noon, Emperor Jingwen specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a large copper pot. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to eat something tasty today. After taking medicine every day for such a long time, Emperor Jingwen’s tongue was numb. Today, he finally tasted the salty, fresh and spicy taste.

There was no one else in the entire Chengming Hall except Emperor Jingwen, Ye Shuo, Imperial Noble Consort Jian Jian, and Yao Zhi.

When she first came in and saw the expression on Emperor Jingwen’s face, Yao Zhi’s expression could not help but change slightly. She had been practising medicine for so many years, how could she not know that her father was…

But Yao Zhi did not show it and quietly accompanied Emperor Jingwen to finish the lunch.

During the dinner, Emperor Jingwen also gave her many instructions. It was obvious that they were just telling her to live in harmony with her husband and wife and to avoid any grudges in the future.

Although Yao Zhi had not known Emperor Jingwen for a long time, her heart was still in knots when she saw this scene.

If she was like this, how would he, her husband, behave?

After leaving the gate of Chengming Palace, just when Yao Zhi was hesitating about how to start the conversation, the next moment, she saw the young man’s hand coming up to hold hers.

Only then did Yao Zhi realise that his hands were so cold at this moment.

“Don’t talk, Dad is still watching.”

When turning the corner, Yao Zhi discovered from the corner of her eye that Emperor Jingwen was standing at the window, looking at this side from afar.

“That’s great…”

When the figures disappeared, Wang Ziquan vaguely heard the emperor mutter these words.

It’s a pity that I may never see such a beautiful scene again…

Emperor Jingwen didn’t even know whether he would remember today if he, as a father, was not there on his youngest son’s birthday next year.

I just hope that they won’t be too sad then.

As night fell and midnight passed, Chengming Palace was suddenly in chaos. Prince Su and Prince Jin were still asleep, but when they received the notice, they rushed to the palace overnight.
