Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 249: Ascension to the throne

The Sixth Prince couldn’t help but think of the past, when he had nothing and watched Xiaojiu go to the East Palace to play with the former crown prince every day. Now that he has gained power, his son still has to watch Xiaojiu go to the former crown prince’s son to play, just like he did back then.

People like them have never been able to compare with the former prince’s family.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, thinking about it the other way around, it also showed that Xiaojiu had not changed all these years. Even the change of power did not make him change his mind. After the former prince was deposed, who else would have the courage to take in the former prince’s son?

They were not favoured by him because they were not lucky.

Knowing it is one thing, but having others tell it out loud is another matter altogether.

The Sixth Prince couldn’t help but glance at the First Prince, then said calmly: “In this world, not everything remains unchanged.”

No matter what, the former crown prince is just a thing of the past.

The eldest prince was stunned when he heard such a thing. What does that mean? The sixth prince wants to argue about this?

The next moment, the eldest prince’s premonition came true.

The Sixth Prince said, “Your father once taught you that if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself.”

When Ye Jin heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: “Yes, father!”

The Sixth Prince has not yet held his succession ceremony, so he is still called the Prince for the time being.

Ye Shuo didn’t come back until the break was over. Looking at the dirt on his clothes and the mud on the soles of his shoes, one could tell that he had just taken Ye Xun back to the imperial mausoleum again.

It was a bit late at this time. The team was about to set off. It was too late to eat. So many people could not wait for him. The eldest prince watched the child in front of him hand over the pancake that he had prepared early in the morning, and said in a very scheming way: “It has been in the box all along. It is still warm.”

As expected, Ye Shuo immediately showed an expression of being moved.

Ye Jin was still young after all. No matter what his childhood experiences were, they were still better than those of the Sixth Prince back then. Naturally, he was not as patient as the Sixth Prince. He could not help but glance at the young man next to him with pride.

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he couldn’t help but laugh.

The Sixth Prince was like this, when he was a child, with the former Crown Prince. Wasn’t it the same with Ye Xun and Ye Yan when he was a child? How could he not understand this child’s mind?

Or maybe it was especially children who had the strongest possessiveness.

Then, Ye Shuo gave one of the two pancakes in his hand to Ye Xun.

The eldest prince standing by couldn’t help laughing. If today wasn’t the day Emperor Jingwen was to be buried, he would have almost laughed out loud.

The eldest prince’s face couldn’t help but twist.

Just when Ye Shuo was puzzled, he lowered his head and saw that Ye Jin’s face had turned red with anger.

Feeling moisture spreading in his eyes, Ye Jin was afraid that others would laugh at him, so he quickly lowered his head, stomped his feet hard, turned around and ran away.

Just ran away…

Ran away…

…

Seeing this scene, the Sixth Prince narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

This was the first time since the child was born that he actively expressed his emotions, but the result was a complete failure.

Ye Shuo was confused: “What’s going on?” Why does it feel weird?

“What happened?” Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at the eldest prince beside him.

How could the eldest prince tell him? As long as he didn’t say it, given the temperament of the Sixth Prince and his son, they would definitely not tell it on their own initiative, and the eldest prince would be more than happy to do so.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to look at the Sixth Prince again.

The Sixth Prince said nothing, but just said: “We are about to set off, it’s time to go.”

Ye Xun did guess something, but he didn’t say anything either. Ye Xun pretended not to know and quietly retreated with the pancake.

No one said anything. Ye Shuo had no idea that the eldest prince would be so bored that he would actually “sow discord” on a child.

Ye Shuo thought that what he gave out was a cake, but that cake was more than just a cake.

Although the Ninth Prince was not very reliable and liked to play tricks on people, Ye Jin inexplicably couldn’t hate him in his heart. He even liked him a little. No, it should be said that he liked him more than just a little. Among all his uncles, he liked the Ninth Prince the most.

But what Ye Jin didn’t expect was that his favourite uncle’s favourite nephew was not him.

“Damn it!” Why is this happening?

Ye Jin rarely felt frustrated.

When he returned, Ye Shuo found that his nephew refused to let him hold him in his arms no matter what. His face started to turn pale as he walked, and he didn’t say a word.

Although Ye Shuo didn’t know what he was angry about, he knew that if he didn’t pay any attention, this kid would tire himself to death.

I thought Xiao Ming was a stubborn boy when he was young, but I didn’t expect that the son he gave birth to was even more stubborn than him. They are indeed father and son, and it’s really amazing.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to pull him up from the ground by force.

Just as Ye Jin was about to turn away, he heard the Ninth Uncle in front of him speak helplessly: “It doesn’t matter if you are angry with the Imperial Uncle, you should at least let the Imperial Uncle know the reason, right? Otherwise, the Imperial Uncle would be too innocent.”

Ye Jin opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything no matter what. If he said it, the Ninth Prince would definitely laugh at him for making a fuss out of nothing.

Ye Jin also felt that he was being unreasonable, but for some reason, he was very angry.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo pretended to sigh: “Alas, you are unwilling to tell Uncle Nine even such a small matter. Uncle Nine really loves you in vain.”

The moment the words fell, Ye Jin could no longer bear it.

“How can you love me? You gave the biscuits I prepared for you to others!”

Ye Shuo understood instantly, so this is what was going on.

That pancake didn’t seem to be a simple pancake. For example, when he was a child, he would be so angry that his lungs would explode when he saw his mother holding other children, even if the children were babies that couldn’t speak.

It happened so many years ago, but Ye Shuo still remembers it until now, which shows how angry he was at that time.

But these situations only occur for very close elders. I didn’t expect that my little nephew was so close to me.??

Ye Shuo thought so in his heart, and said: “It’s Uncle Nine’s fault. It’s Uncle Nine’s fault. If Uncle Nine knew, he would definitely not give it to him.”

Ye Shuo didn’t say that Ye Xun was also his cousin, and that a piece of cake was nothing. This made Ye Jin, who couldn’t control himself and was feeling annoyed and frustrated, stunned.

“Ninth, Ninth Uncle, you’re not angry?” Ye Jin asked stutteringly.

“You don’t think I’m making a big deal out of nothing?”

Forgive Xiao Ye Jin. He has never been respected like this before, not even by his father and mother.

Not to mention him, even the eldest prince looked shocked.

Looking at his younger brother talking so much to a child, the eldest prince suddenly understood why even his own son liked him and why he was so patient with a child. If it were him, he would never be able to do it.

In the eyes of the eldest prince, it is enough for a father to always maintain his dignity.

Ye Shuo heard this and said, “How could that be? It’s normal that you don’t want me to share the things you gave me with others, but you should tell me next time. Otherwise, if you keep it in your heart, who will know?”

But only the Ninth Prince would care about such things.

Perhaps the young man at the moment was too deceptive, Ye Jin couldn’t help but suddenly asked what was in his heart: “Ninth Uncle, do you like cousin Ye Xun more, or do you like me more?”

The eldest prince and the sixth prince looked over immediately.

“Uh…” This question…

This question really stumped Ye Shuo.

But Ye Shuo really didn’t want to lie to a child, so he cleared his throat and said, “Ye Xun.”

The eldest prince: “…”

Hiss!

This is the future crown prince!

The Sixth Prince: “…”

As expected, Xiaojiu was as honest as ever and answered whatever was asked.

Suddenly hearing the affirmative answer, Ye Jin became uncontrollably sour, but he really couldn’t be angry with him, so he could only choose to keep silent.

Ye Shuo was really helpless this time. He could only sigh and touch his head.

When they returned to Shangjing, Ye Jin saw from afar that the Ninth Prince and Ye Xun got on the same carriage and went back to the same place.

Although he was not the Ninth Prince’s favourite nephew, for some reason, Ye Jin liked him more.

It’s my cousin who is really an eyesore.

“I have a feeling that the future little prince is going to hate me to death.” Ye Xun couldn’t help but joke as he lowered the curtain.

Ye Shuo sighed: “I can’t help it, who told your Uncle Jiu to be so popular?”

“Oh, by the way, Ye Yan and the others just called me. I might have to go to your uncle’s house later.”

Now, it was Ye Xun’s turn to have a stiff expression.

In a blink of an eye, nearly another month has passed.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Although the Sixth Prince was still in mourning, he had a special status after all. After waiting for twenty-seven days, he took off his mourning clothes and welcomed the coronation ceremony.

The day of the coronation ceremony was exceptionally lively and joyful, with no trace of the desolate national mourning that had occurred a month earlier when Emperor Jingwen passed away.

Early in the morning, Ye Shuo changed into the royal robe, and Yao Zhi also changed into the dress belonging to the princess.

“As I remember, we only wore this thing once, at our wedding?” The royal uniform was already thick and heavy, and Ye Shuo began to sweat after a while.

Like Ye Shuo, Yao Zhi was also a little uncomfortable with suddenly dressing so formally.

If she hadn’t participated in this important palace ceremony, Yao Zhi would have even forgotten that she was married and was a princess.

Being with him, Yao Zhike became much more lazy than when she was wandering around the world before.

After everything was cleaned up, Ye Shuo took the initiative to hold Yao Zhi’s arm.

Yao Zhi blushed a little and couldn’t help but whispered, “Be careful, if others see it, they will probably laugh at you.” Although… she was very happy.

Ye Shuo didn’t care: “What’s the big deal? Let them talk if they want to.”

As expected, when the eldest prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince all froze in expression when they saw the couple behaving like this at the palace gate.

Pretending not to notice their constipated expressions, Ye Shuo walked in leisurely with Yao Zhi.

Then came the sounds of ritual music.

Finally, I have waited for this day.

The miserable life in his early childhood, the cautiousness in his childhood, the hard work in studying in his youth, the careful planning in his youth… all passed by before his eyes one by one. The Sixth Prince did not look away, but took one step at a time, and finally reached the top.

Then, under the gazes of court officials, royal family members, and everyone else, the Sixth Prince slowly sat down in that position.

Then, in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, the Sixth Prince swept his eyes around, and everyone present, without exception, knelt on the ground.

“Welcome to our Emperor.”

“Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor.”

In the 27th year of Jingwen’s reign, Emperor Jingwen died and was posthumously named Emperor Zhaochengwen.

In April of the same year, the sixth prince Ming ascended the throne and changed the reign title from Jingwen to Taicheng, and was named Emperor Taicheng.
