Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 31: Let Down

Wow, it seems to be ok.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo was satisfied.

After calming down and feeling it for a while, Ye Shuo found that he did not feel any discomfort in his body. He immediately realized that he should be considered successful.

Although the usage is a bit crude, it is better than nothing.

If Wu Yi were here, his eyes would pop out of his head when he saw this scene.

He released the internal energy outwardly. He actually completed the release of the internal energy just by his own exploration!

Unfortunately, Wu Yi seemed to know that Ye Shuo didn’t like to keep people around when he was sleeping, so he slept on a tree branch outside all night and missed everything perfectly.

Ye Shuo was still young and full of energy, so when he went out, no one noticed that he had not slept all night.

When they reached the main hall, it was just time for breakfast. Ye Shuo sat down on the stool as usual, and Nanny Jing beside him naturally came over with the bowl to feed him.

Seeing the kindness inadvertently in Nanny Jing’s eyes, Ye Shuo obediently opened his mouth and swallowed the porridge with duck egg yolk and sea cucumber particles in the spoon in one gulp.

When Nanny Jing saw him like this, she smiled and said, “Your Highness, eat slowly. No one will snatch the food from you.”

As she spoke, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Nanny Jing is not yet fifty this year, which is still very young in modern times, but here she has reached the age where she can enjoy her grandchildren and live out her days in peace.

Unfortunately, Nanny Jing was alone and had no family to support. There was no turning back once she entered the deep palace, so she could only pour all her love into Ye Shuo.

Ye Shuo was also happy to enjoy himself, calling “Mammy, Mammy” every day, which made Mammy Jing’s heart melt. It was rare to see such a well-behaved and obedient child, how could Mammy Jing not like him.

Looking at the imperial concubine beside her, she was obviously used to this scene and didn’t notice anything wrong. She ate the mushroom shredded chicken in front of her slowly and said, “This morning, the kitchen has developed a dessert with ham filling. I think it tastes good. Mammy, you can also pick one for him to try.”

“Okay.”

Taking in the whole scene, Wu Yi couldn’t help but frown secretly.

In his opinion, the little prince’s speech and behavior were totally unlike those of a two-year-old child. He was obviously able to do many things by himself, let alone eating. Why did he need to be fed now?

No wonder the little prince caused his master such a headache, the imperial concubine had a lot to thank for this.

If you keep pampering and spoiling him, when will the little prince be able to stand on his own feet?

Wu Yi secretly observed from the side, preparing to summarize everything he saw and tell it all to the emperor when he asked.

As a secret guard, one must not only be proficient in martial arts, but also think about what the master thinks and worry about what the master worries about.

After finally waiting for Ye Shuo to finish his breakfast, Wu Yi followed him all the time. He discovered that not only the imperial concubine, but even the eunuchs and palace maids in Qiuwu Palace followed him subconsciously.

Especially the senior palace maids such as Su Yue and Su Xin, whose attitudes were exactly the same as that of Nanny Jing.

This is far from the end. Soon, Zhao Chongrong and three others also arrived.

Of course, this time they are not playing mahjong. How could they have the courage to commit such a crime against the law?

But after one night, the three of them could no longer bear the worry in their hearts, so they got up early in the morning and came to Qiuwu Palace.

When the three of them saw each other at the door, they realized that each other’s thoughts were the same as theirs.

Zhao Chongrong and others were just being low-key, not because they were heartless. On the contrary, it was because they had not been in contact with outsiders for a long time that if someone suddenly broke through the defense line, that person would appear to be extremely good and different from others.

It has been really quiet around them for too long.

After two months of getting along, it was impossible for the three of them to remain indifferent.

“Let Concubine Zhao take a look to see if you are injured anywhere?” She never dared to say these words for fear of being blamed by Emperor Jingwen. But after what happened yesterday, Zhao Chongrong seemed to have changed a little.

Ye Shuo did not resist upon hearing this and allowed the three ladies to examine him.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be seriously injured, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

It was said that the emperor didn’t know what was wrong recently and suddenly started beating his son. Zhao Chongrong felt uneasy when she thought of this.

Fortunately, the emperor was not so tactless as to hit a child who was only two years old.

“Your Highness must have been frightened yesterday. Look, what did Concubine Zhao bring you today?” As she spoke, Zhao Chongrong took over from her personal maid… a nine-ring chain?

Playing Mahjong is a waste of time, but Nine Rings is an educational toy. The emperor can’t say anything about it, right?

Wu Yi, who was watching from the side, was wondering what was wrong with Concubine Zhao. The young prince looked so energetic and didn’t look like he was frightened at all.

As a result, before Wu Yi could finish his thought, he saw the little prince in front of him frowning and pouting, and a feeling of grievance suddenly came up.

“Concubine Zhao, you don’t know. Father was so fierce yesterday. I was so scared…”

Wu Yi frowned as he watched.

But what he didn’t expect was that the three concubines fell for it. They comforted and coaxed him, and soon the little prince’s hands were filled with all kinds of toys.

When they were leaving, the three ladies were reluctant to leave, thinking that their children had really suffered a great injustice this time.

Xu Chongyi thought to herself that if this kind of thing happened again in the future, she would think of a way to see if she could ask the empress dowager for help and let her take care of it.

Although the emperor is not the empress dowager’s biological son, but a beautiful empress that the late emperor insisted on establishing despite opposition from his ministers due to his dissolute behavior, there is no affection between the empress dowager and the emperor, and the two have almost no interactions, but if the empress dowager really asks for it, the emperor will have to give her some face no matter what.

And Xu Chongyi was from the Empress Dowager’s family.

Judging from the fact that Xu Chongyi was still just a Chongyi to Emperor Jingwen for so many years, Emperor Jingwen actually did not really trust his stepmother, and was even a little indifferent and ignored her. But isn’t this the only solution? If there is really no other way, this is the only way.

Wu Yi, who had been trained as a leader since he was a child and often walked on the brink of death, couldn’t understand.

As soon as Ye Shuo saw his expression, he knew that this was not something that a secret guard like him could understand.

This person may never know that in order to please the elders, one does not have to be well-behaved and obedient. Appropriate behavior of acting coquettish can better promote the relationship with the elders.

It’s the same principle as it’s easier to build relationships with others if you ask for help appropriately.

If everyone has a cold face, what’s the fun?

Alas, he can’t even figure out such a simple thing. He is hopeless.

Although Wu Yi didn’t understand, it didn’t stop him from drawing conclusions.

He felt that the main reason why the little prince was so obsessed with pleasure was that too many people doted on him.

What the little prince needs now is someone who can control him.

So, Wu Yi took out a copy of Thousand Characters from somewhere, and said in a slightly stiff tone: “Young Prince, it’s time for you to study.”

Ye Shuo was not panicked at all and quickly kicked the ball back: “But you have to teach me first, so that I know what is written on it.”

He has forgotten that he is illiterate, so he has to learn this.

“You have to read it to me first.”

Wu Yi felt that what the little prince said made sense, so he picked up the “Thousand Character Classic” and started reading it.

Ye Shuo took the opportunity to secretly practice internal skills under his nose.

Don’t ask, asking is stimulating.

After about two hours, Wu Yi discovered that the little prince seemed a little…stupid?

After such a long time and with so many words, he could only recognize a few here and there, and those were the simplest ones.

“I know. This is ‘Heaven’ and this is ‘Earth’, right?” Seeing the little prince pointing at the words ‘Heaven’ and ‘Earth’ in the book with a serious look on his face, as if asking for praise, Wu Yi could not say a word of disdain.

Then the little prince asked again: “What are these?”

Wu Yi then noticed that he had picked up a travel book at some point and was comparing the words in the travel book with the Thousand Character Classic one by one, appearing to be very studious.

Wu Yi thought about it and read the travel notes to him.

One travelogue, two travelogues, three travelogues…Finally, in addition to heaven and earth, the little prince learned three other new characters.

Although it was more tiring than his usual shifts, Wu Yi felt that it was all worth it.

“Wu Yi, you teach really well.” As the sun set, Ye Shuo looked up and praised sincerely.

After half a day, he was tired of listening to free travel notes, so he planned to try a storybook tomorrow.

I have to say that Wu Yi’s voice is still okay, and it would be more touching if he read the script.

“Your Highness, I am ashamed to accept your praise.”

A few days passed like this, and Emperor Jingwen was still thinking about this matter. He came to inspect the results soon. However, as soon as his secret guard opened his mouth, Emperor Jingwen immediately found something wrong.

“Hmm? What’s wrong with your throat?”

Emperor Jingwen became alert: “Did Shuo’er cause trouble again?”

As a result, Wu Yi’s answer was somewhat beyond his expectations.

“Your Majesty, the little prince has been very quiet recently and very studious. He has already learned a lot of new words.”

Out of habit, Wu Yi never mentioned a word about his own contributions.

Although Wu Yi’s background as a secret guard meant he could be absolutely trustworthy, Emperor Jingwen’s first reaction when he heard this was still doubt.

Was the son Wu Yi was talking about really his own?

How can that little bastard ever be so calm?

“Are you sure??”

Wu Yi was very sure: “I am willing to guarantee it with my life.”

Hmm? ? So my son suddenly changed his nature?

Sure enough, the decision to let the secret guards watch him was the right one. Only someone like Wu Yi could cure him.

Emperor Jingwen was skeptical, but when he saw that Wu Yi’s expression did not seem fake, he gradually believed what he said.

“Well done.” Emperor Jingwen relaxed his brows, praised him, and decided to use this trick to deal with him if this situation happened again in the future.

Wu Yi was very excited.

Afterward, Wu Yi talked about several ladies.

Sure enough, Emperor Jingwen frowned subconsciously. He did not expect that his youngest son would be so good at pleasing other Concubine.

You know, a loving mother often spoils her son. Having a royal concubine was already a headache for Emperor Jingwen. If there were three more concubines like Zhao Chongrong, Emperor Jingwen would know without a doubt that his son would be ruined in the future.

Neither being too eye-catching nor being too incompetent was the result that Emperor Jingwen wanted.

But he couldn’t issue an order to separate them from the little prince. In this case, he could only let the most trustworthy people around him keep a close watch on them.

As for the executor, you don’t have to think about who it is.

Emperor Jingwen could not help but said in a deep voice: “Wu Yi, now that things have come to this, I can only count on you. I believe that you will not let me down.”

Wu Yi’s face became solemn upon hearing this. Without hesitation, he knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice: “I will definitely live up to my master’s orders!”
