Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 205: Going up the Mountain

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

The emperor had such an idea, and the people below naturally had to follow him.

There had already been chaos when Emperor Jingwen and his companions disappeared, so he naturally did not want to repeat the same mistake. Therefore, the list of people accompanying him this time was particularly complete. Emperor Jingwen basically brought everyone he could, including the empress, as well as the noble concubines, virtuous concubines and virtuous concubines.

Ye Shuo, as the ninth prince, now the Prince of Rui, was also among them. Even Jian Jian, who was only twelve and a half years old, was on the list of accompanying people.

It was not uncommon for emperors before the Great Zhou Dynasty to bring their entire families to worship Buddha, but the reason for mobilising so many troops this time was because of the deceased crown prince, so everyone was not happy about it.

Emperor Jingwen even gave the task of guarding to the eldest prince. There was no other way because the commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guard fell ill a few days ago.

Emperor Jingwen is now over fifty, and the commander-in-chief is no longer young. In addition, it is very normal for him to suffer from occasional illness after years of military life.

Since Yao Zhi had entered the country and was living in the Ninth Prince’s mansion, as long as she was there, no one else could harm Ye Xun, so Ye Shuo was very relieved.

“The Fourth Prince’s legs and feet are now fully recovered. I will leave when you come back this time.” After hesitating for a long time, Yao Zhi finally said it.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be completely reluctant to leave.

Even though he knew he couldn’t keep her, Ye Shuo couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when he actually heard these words.

Seeing the young man hanging his head, Yao Zhi couldn’t help feeling a little bit reluctant, but in the end, she still forced herself to harden her heart.

When the time came, Ye Shuo had no choice but to get on the carriage to leave Beijing.

Zilu Peak is not far from Shangjing, fifty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing. It is a place where the royal family worships Buddha, so it was much more magnificent than ordinary temples when it was built. After expansion by several generations of emperors, the temple now occupies almost half of the mountain.

To show their sincerity, even when Emperor Jingwen came, he did not ride in a sedan chair, and the others were even more so. Fortunately, the mountain was not very high, so it was okay.

Because the distance was relatively short, the group set out in the morning and arrived almost at noon.

Emperor Jingwen led the way, walking in the front, and the other concubines and princes followed closely behind him.

“Are you tired, mother? Do you want your son to carry you?” Ye Shuo was afraid that his mother would be tired, so he asked secretly.

If you are not allowed to ride in a sedan chair, can you at least let someone carry you on your back?

However, Concubine Rong couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him when she heard this. How could she be so embarrassed with so many people watching?

Besides, it was just a short distance, and her son was underestimating her. After all, Concubine Rong was born into a military family.

Although the imperial concubine refused verbally, she was extremely proud in her heart and couldn’t help but glance at the virtuous and virtuous concubines beside her.

Although his son is not as capable as the others sons, he is the most considerate.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian and Concubine De laughed, but they couldn’t help but feel a little envious. As for the Queen, she felt that Concubine Rong was deliberately showing off her son’s health to her, which immediately touched the Queen’s heart.

The Thirteenth Prince is weak and lacks the Emperor’s favour, which is the Queen’s greatest pain.

Without noticing this, Ye Shuo looked at Jianjian again.

Jianjian moved away from him almost instantly. A young girl in adolescence couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

“If you really have a lot of energy but nowhere to use it, why not go find your Sixth Brother?” Perhaps because Ye Shuo had said it too much, Jian Jian gradually felt that the Sixth Prince was not as strong as his other brothers.

Especially during the month when Ye Shuo and the others disappeared, the Sixth Prince ran around everywhere to unite everyone to resist the First Prince. After such a long period of hard work, the Sixth Prince naturally couldn’t hold on any longer.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingwen returned in time, and the Sixth Prince finally felt relieved.

Speaking of the Sixth Prince, Ye Shuo subconsciously looked back, only to find that the Sixth Prince had fallen behind at some point.

Of course, the reason why the Sixth Prince fell behind was not because of himself. With the Sixth Prince’s temperament, even if he could not keep up with the team, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to speed up.

The main reason is that the Sixth Prince is now bringing his own son. Little Ye Jin is only five or six years old now. How can he walk such a long mountain road in one breath?

“Xiao Ming, why did you bring Ye Jin with you?” After not seeing him for a few years, this child is exactly like his father. They are indeed father and son. Even their expressions are exactly the same when they stand together.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiu would come back to look for him. The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment before answering, “He is not in good health, so I thought of taking this opportunity to bring him to the temple to pray for blessings.”

If the father’s penis is of poor quality, the child born will inevitably be weaker.

As a father, the Sixth Prince naturally hopes that his children can be healthy.

Oh, I forgot to mention that not long after Ye Shuo left, the Sixth Prince’s concubine gave birth to another son for him, but this time it was a daughter.

The little princess was only two or three years old, and it was not appropriate for her to leave the house, so the Sixth Prince did not take her with him.

In addition to Ye Jin, the Sixth Prince also plans to offer a perpetual lamp to his daughter later.

As the Sixth Prince was a prince, he naturally favoured sons over daughters. However, he had difficulty in having children, so he only had two children, so they naturally seemed precious to him.

Ye Shuo looked at Ye Jin’s face which had turned pale from walking too much, and without much hesitation, he carried him on his back.

Although the child is young, he still weighs a considerable amount, and most people cannot carry him to the top of the mountain in one breath.

Upon seeing this, the Sixth Prince subconsciously wanted to stop him. In his opinion, although his son was physically weak, his will must not be weak. What others could do, he should also be able to do.

However, Ye Shuo felt that children should be taught, but there was no need to be overly harsh on them. It should be done step by step. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.

“Ye Jin is still young, it’s not time for that. You as his father are still here, and I as his uncle are still here. The mountain road is difficult to travel on, and we are still making things difficult for such a young child. Doesn’t it prove that we are incompetent?” Besides, Ye Jin has already walked so far, no matter what, it is enough.

The Sixth Prince has been extremely strict with himself since he was young. Having grown up this way, it was inevitable that he would apply the same standards to his son.??

After a while, the Sixth Prince said helplessly: “This is just the first time, it won’t happen again.”

He was afraid that his son would become slack after getting used to enjoying himself.

After hearing this, Ye Jin stopped struggling.

Three years had passed, and the children’s memory was not that good. Ye Jin had long forgotten his uncle Ye Shuo, and naturally he had also forgotten what he had promised him when they parted.

Ye Jin only had a vague impression, and felt that this uncle was very kind.

The child, who had never had such close contact with others, naturally felt awkward when he suddenly landed on the back of a relative stranger. Just when Ye Jin was a little confused and at a loss, he heard the person under him say, “Hold on tight.”

“?”

While Ye Jin was stunned, Ye Shuo took a deep breath, exerted force on his feet, and then rushed out as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

First came the princes, then the imperial concubine and others, and then Emperor Jingwen.

When climbing a mountain, whoever reaches the top first wins.

Seeing his youngest son disappearing in a flash without a trace, Emperor Jingwen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The Sixth Prince: “…”

The Sixth Prince regretted that he should not have handed his son over to him!

The Sixth Prince almost forgot how his younger brother had tormented Ye Xun.

Emperor Jingwen was also very familiar with this scene. Past memories came flooding back. He sighed and waved to everyone: “Don’t worry about him. Let’s continue.”

My son has not made any progress in other serious matters over the years, let alone this.

If the little bastard could have refrained from causing trouble along the way, he wouldn’t be himself.

The other side.

Ye Jin only felt that all the scenes in front of his eyes flashed by quickly. In fear, he subconsciously hugged Ye Shuo’s neck tightly.

Ye Shuo walked very fast and could climb three or four steps with one lift.

But Ye Jin now is much calmer than Ye Xun back then. Even though he was scared, he just kept silent and waited until he reached the top of the mountain, only then did he feel better.

“First!”

Ye Shuo, who once again won first place, felt refreshed. Ye Jin couldn’t hold it in any longer and said tremblingly: “Ninth, Ninth Uncle, can you put me down?”

Only then did Ye Shuo remember to let go.

When the monks in the temple, especially the abbot, saw the two people, they couldn’t help but look at the sundial in front of the temple. It was obvious that Ye Shuo had come too early.

When Emperor Jingwen and his party came up, Ye Shuo and Ye Jin had been waiting in the dining hall for quite some time.

Because he had walked for such a long time on the mountain road, Emperor Jingwen’s clothes were soaked with sweat, so he went to change his clothes before coming here.

Concubine Rong and Jianjian were fine, especially Jianjian. Because she had practised martial arts for many years, this mountain road was nothing to her. It was just that she was not as lively as Ye Shuo, so she was not very conspicuous.

Although Concubine Xian and Concubine De were a little tired, they were still within the normal range. Only the Queen was sweating profusely.

Looking at the princes again, the eldest prince goes without saying, the fifth prince, the seventh prince and the eighth prince are all calm and not out of breath, the sixth prince is slightly sweating and panting, as for the fourth prince, he just walked such a long way with a leg injury and it is inevitable that he cannot bear it, he almost climbed up with gritted teeth, and now his right leg is trembling, seeing someone looking at him, the fourth prince hurriedly sat down, then pulled down the hem of his clothes to cover it up.

There is also the Thirteenth Prince, the current Queen’s son, who is not much better than the Queen. His panting can still be heard from such a long distance away.

Upon seeing this, the queen immediately glared at him fiercely.

The Thirteenth Prince quickly stopped panting, his face quickly turned red, and then he began to cough violently.

When Ye Shuo saw this scene, he hesitated for a moment and finally did not step forward.

Bailu Temple is worthy of being a royal temple. The vegetarian meals there are more exquisite than those elsewhere. The vegetarian food here is truly unique.

That afternoon, Emperor Jingwen took a bath, burned incense, and went to the abbot for advice.

Ye Shuo had nothing to do, Jian Jian was now too impatient to play with him, and his mother would not play with him as long as Concubine De, Concubine Xian and the Queen were present, so he soon set his sights on little Ye Jin.

Entertainment is prohibited in Buddhist sacred areas, so there is nothing else to do. It’s okay to play with children, right?

Guessing his brother’s thoughts in an instant, the Sixth Prince pulled his son behind him without hesitation.

“Don’t even think about it!”
