Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

When Emperor Jingwen came, he was already holding back a lot of anger. The reason why he didn’t send anyone to call the Ninth Prince over was to wait for him to come back and then give him a scare.

Emperor Jingwen had even imagined the scene of his son being terrified when he saw him.

At that time, if you ask him why he doesn’t go to school, the effect will definitely be doubled.

As a result…he never came back.

Then Emperor Jingwen became even angrier.

But it was his dark face that frightened the Sixth Prince who had just returned from the upper study.

Think about it, the Sixth Prince had been tired from studying all day, and he finally came back to relax for a while. However, when he looked up after entering the room, he was caught off guard by the majestic face of Emperor Jingwen, and all his sleepiness and fatigue were scared away.

“Greetings to the Emperor, may your Majesty be well.” The Sixth Prince knelt down hurriedly.

After seeing this scene, Emperor Jingwen felt relieved. In his opinion, this was normal.

So Emperor Jingwen’s expression finally improved: “Get up, pack up, and prepare for dinner.”

“…yes.”

The Sixth Prince looked at the Imperial Concubine next to him. Judging from the Imperial Concubine’s expression and various signs, his father must have come to look for his Ninth Prince.

Although such scenes do not happen often, they do happen from time to time.

What the Sixth Prince didn’t understand was why his father would always be so angry at his little brother’s unintentional actions, and why he never got tired of it.

In this way, the silent atmosphere continued until the end of dinner.

It was already dark outside, but the Ninth Prince still hadn’t returned.

Noticing his father’s increasingly ugly expression, the Sixth Prince complained inwardly.

Damn it! Father looks very angry.

Just as the Sixth Prince began to pray for his brother, Emperor Jingwen finally couldn’t hold it anymore, and with a sullen face, he said to Wang Ziquan beside him: “Please, go and bring the Ninth Prince back to me.”

In the end, Emperor Jingwen compromised.

He finally realized that his son might not be able to come back today. If he didn’t see him, then his trip today would be in vain.

Hiss–

The emperor even used the word “please”, it seems that he is really angry.

Wang Ziquan did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the order to “capture” the ninth prince from the East Palace.

You know what, Ye Shuo really thought so. He really didn’t plan to go back today. He planned to stay with his little nephew for a few nights and make the most of the time before school starts.

Although he thought in his heart that it was unlikely that his cheap father would not react by this year, but! What if? What if it works? Wouldn’t that mean another year of happiness?

Ye Shuo didn’t feel ashamed at all to fight for the bed with his own nephew. After all, he had slept in the prince’s bed in the past, so why would he care about the prince’s son?

“Ninth Uncle…” It was the first time that the little grandson of the emperor slept on the same bed with someone else, and he seemed a little shy.

However, the next second, Ye Shuo pushed him back: “You’re just a kid, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.” When saying this, Ye Shuo completely forgot that when he was three years old, he had specially installed a blackout curtain to prevent the palace servants from peeking.

“Don’t talk, go to sleep.” Then Ye Shuo suddenly remembered something: “By the way, do you still wet the bed at night?”

“Ninth Uncle!!”

“Okay, okay, I won’t tease you anymore, go to sleep.”

Having said that, Ye Shuo immediately closed his eyes.

I don’t know why, but when the little grandson of the emperor broke free from his shame and anger, he always felt that the reaction of the Ninth Prince in front of him was a little strange, as if he was avoiding something.

Then, not long after, Ye Xun probably knew who he was hiding from.

When Wang Ziquan arrived, he heard the news that the Ninth Prince and the little grandson had already gone to bed.

Wang Ziquan immediately gasped. It was over. The emperor was still waiting!

After thinking it over and weighing it for a long time, Wang Ziquan finally decided to go and wake up the Ninth Prince himself.

When he heard the noise outside, Ye Shuo knew something was wrong. When he saw Wang Ziquan walking towards him through the cracks in his eyes, Ye Shuo immediately realized that his stepfather was determined to make him go to school this time, and he was particularly angry.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t know that they have gone to bed, but you still have to wake yourself up.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide anymore, Ye Shuo had no choice but to get up from the bed.

Just as Ye Shuo slowly began to put on his shoes, he saw that Eunuch Wang had already gone out. Ye Xun couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: “Ninth Uncle… is it really scary to go to the study?”

“Of course!” Ye Shuo thought about it.

The scary thing about going to the study room is not the studying, but the fact that you can’t graduate at all. No matter how much knowledge you have learned there, you will not be allowed to skip grades or graduate early. No matter who you are, you must stay there until you are old enough to enter the court. They will let you go, and the connection should not be too tight.

After you have memorized this book, there is still the next book. The worst that can happen is that the difficulty will be increased. Some people even hope that you can read as many books as possible. Unless you have memorized all the books in the world, there will always be new knowledge for you to learn.

In modern times, you can skip grades, or even enter university directly if you have accumulated enough knowledge, but there is no such rule in the study room.

Thinking about having to memorize all the books in the world, even Ye Shuo felt a wave of despair.

In addition, there was no such thing as Saturdays and Sundays as rest days in ancient times. Ye Shuo had learned about it in advance, and there were no winter and summer vacations. There were 365 days in a year, and people could only have one day off on New Year’s Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor’s birthday, Tianchang Festival, and one’s own birthday, etc., and the total number of days was less than ten.

Ten days!

You know, nowadays, there are seven days off for National Day!

So once you get in there, it’s basically like being in prison. No wonder Ye Shuo is scared.

This was something he would have resisted from the bottom of his heart even without his grandfather’s family.

But I can’t say this to my little nephew. The child is still young, and I can’t tell him about the dangers of the world so quickly.

“…Anyway, you’ll know soon.” He was lucky, at least he had made it to this point, and he didn’t start school until he was seven years old, but the child in front of him had to go to school at the age of three.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but touched the child’s head lovingly.

Without waiting for the other party to resist, Ye Shuo jumped off the bed and followed Eunuch Wang.

“Your Highness, it’s okay—”

On the way back to Qiuwu Palace, Wang Ziquan was about to persuade him not to be nervous, but when he turned around, he saw the Ninth Prince yawning, and the rest of Wang Ziquan’s words were stuck in his throat.

“Ah? What did you say?” Ye Shuo looked confused, as if he didn’t hear clearly.

Wang Ziquan choked, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably: “…Nothing, nothing.”

If you ask him, the Ninth Prince is really a strange man. You say he is naughty, but he never makes fun of the palace maids. You say he is sensible and obedient, but he finds different ways to make trouble every day and then makes the emperor very angry. It is really hard to understand.

Just when Wang Ziquan was thinking about something in his mind, Qiuwu Palace was already within reach.

Inside the main hall, Emperor Jingwen first saw a corner of fabric flash by. He paused holding the tea, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he was about to get angry, but before he could open his mouth, he saw his son take two or three steps forward, then kneel down with a plop, shouting, “your son knows he was wrong, please forgive me, father.”

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times, and it was as skillful as possible.

As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Ye Shuo admitted his mistake too quickly, and the words of rebuke from Emperor Jingwen were immediately stuck in his throat.

After a long while, Emperor Jingwen felt that this was not enough to relieve his anger, so he sat there and asked with a half-smile: “Oh? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?”

“I don’t know, but if I make you angry, then that’s my fault.”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Emperor Jingwen was completely unable to curse anymore.

The tense atmosphere in the main hall suddenly dissipated.

Emperor Jingwen seemed to want to try harder, but the atmosphere was just not right. After a long time, he could only hold his forehead with his hand and tell him to get up.

Wang Ziquan, who was standing by, was stunned.

Concubine Rong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this.

“Tell me, why are you so reluctant to go to the study?” After an entire afternoon, Emperor Jingwen had figured out the reason. The imperial concubine would be deceived by this little bastard, but he would not.

Ye Shuo did not hide anything and said bluntly: “The school starts too early. We have to get up at 1:00 a.m. It’s not even daylight yet. We finish school after 1:00 p.m. and have dinner right away. We only have one or two hours in between to do some activities. We don’t even have time to take a break. And…”

“Stop, stop, stop.” Seeing that he was counting more and more, Emperor Jingwen interrupted him immediately: “Didn’t others, like your brother, including me, come here in the same way?”

Why is he the only one who can’t accept it?

“Okay, you don’t have to say anything. No matter what, you must report to me in the upper study in three days!”

“Yes, Father.”

“If you dare to say ‘no’…hmm?” Caught off guard, Emperor Jingwen was stunned when he heard the affirmative answer.

Why did this little bastard react so strongly just now and point out so many faults? Emperor Jingwen was even ready to yell at him, but in the end… he actually agreed.

Ye Shuo didn’t really want to do this, but there was no other way. His stepfather coming here today meant that the matter was a foregone conclusion and resistance was impossible. It was better to be honest and avoid suffering.

Emperor Jingwen felt as if he had been punched into cotton, unable to go up or down, it was extremely painful.

He always felt that the little bastard would not compromise so easily, but he didn’t know what method he would use this time.

It has to be said that after such a long time, Emperor Jingwen has already summed up some experience in struggle.

“You are no longer a two-year-old child. If you dare to lie to me again, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!” Emperor Jingwen was so worried about his son going to school obediently.

Hearing this, Ye Shuo nodded with certainty: “Don’t worry, Father. This time, I will strictly abide by the rules of the study room and will not act against the rules.”

Emperor Jingwen always felt that something was strange, but he really couldn’t put his finger on it.

In the end, failing to find any flaws, Emperor Jingwen left in doubt.

Until Emperor Jingwen disappeared completely, the Sixth Prince seemed to catch a glimpse of cunning in his younger brother’s eyes, but it disappeared before he could take a closer look, as if it was just an illusion.

Although it was a good thing that her son could go to school, Concubine Rong still felt distressed when she thought about him getting up so early and coming back so late every day.

After all this trouble, Ye Shuo had basically digested the meal he had for dinner. He couldn’t help but reach out to grab two desserts. Then Ye Shuo suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, Mom, time is so tight, is there still time to find a study partner for me?” Without a study partner, he was alone and felt even more exhausted.

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong suddenly remembered it.

“Actually… when you were two years old, your mother had already arranged for you to be a study companion.”

When he was two years old…Now he is seven years old, which means that the official’s family has been waiting for this event for five years.

If the other person was a few years older than him, given the ancient custom of early marriage and early pregnancy, that person might already be a father.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

“–mother!!!”
