Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

The little prince had been weak to begin with, and had been ill intermittently, with no signs of recovery. Now that he had finally recovered, the queen was finally willing to let him out.

The little prince has long been accustomed to being alone. He has never had any friends of the same age around him. There are only palace maids, nannies and young eunuchs around him.

It seemed like the eldest prince and other adult princes didn’t take him seriously at all, and even ignored him when they met. Every time the little prince saw the contemptuous looks from the eldest prince and the others, he couldn’t help but shudder.

In their eyes, I am like garbage, and I feel redundant even when they look at me.

The eldest prince has always disdained to flatter the queen, so naturally he is too lazy to pay much attention to her children.

As for the Second Prince and the Crown Prince, they showed more sympathy and pity for the little prince than for others, which made the little prince feel suffocated.

As for the Tenth and Eleventh Princes, who were not much older than him, because of their low birth, every time the Queen saw her son hanging out with the two princes who were destined to be abandoned, she could not help but get furious, thinking that her son was a loser who only knew how to play with trash.

Those who are with trash are destined to be trash themselves.

As for the few grandchildren of the emperor? The queen was afraid that these people would harm her son, so she did not allow them to have any contact with each other. As time went by, the little prince was left alone.

Since he was born, the little prince has never played with toys or had any friends. He is surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs all day long, as if he is in a cage. He is scolded by the queen many times, so he is inevitably very silent.

And ever since he was frightened by General Lanruo’s head last time, no one comforted him in time, so now the little prince is not only weak, but also surrounded by a gloomy aura.

Physical condition is closely related to mental condition. If you cannot relieve your emotions in time, it will be a double torture.

From beginning to end, no one taught the little prince how to be happy. What’s more, he didn’t even know what happiness was.

Even Princess Huyan was startled the moment the little prince raised his head.

What kind of look is that!

He looked lifeless and didn’t look like a child of only four or five years old at all.

Princess Huyan’s heart beat twice, and then she quickly smiled: “Who are you? Why are you here alone?”

It stands to reason that the Queen Mother would not leave the little prince alone, but the little prince is a living person after all, not a machine. He naturally has his own ideas, so now and then he will deliberately shake off the palace maids and eunuchs who follow him, and buy himself a chance to catch his breath.

The little prince didn’t know why he did this, he just knew that if no one followed him, he would feel much happier.

Only at this time did he have a rare chance to catch his breath.

Now, seeing a stranger for the first time, the little prince was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked towards the rockery cave not far away.

Princess Huyan reacted quickly and thought that he must have been hiding in the cave, thus avoiding the sight of the palace people.

Faced with Princess Huyan’s question, the little prince remained silent.

Seeing that the child opposite her had her mouth tightly shut and didn’t even look at her, as if trying to avoid looking at her, Princess Huyan changed her mind and pretended to be angry, then threatened: “If you don’t speak again, I will call for help.”

Having said that, she was about to stand up.

And this trick really worked. The little prince in front of him panicked and subconsciously tried to grab the corner of her clothes.

Princess Huyan’s movements were not very big to begin with, so he naturally caught her in the act. With the corners of her lips slightly raised, Princess Huyan smiled and said, “Now, can you finally tell me who you are?”

But in fact, Princess Huyan already knew about the little prince’s identity. When she was in the Queen’s Palace, she had met him several times by chance.

So when she saw the other person, she stopped subconsciously.

The Queen of the Great Zhou was not without desires; on the contrary, she was an extremely ambitious woman.

Princess Huyan, who was equally ambitious, smelled the scent of her own kind almost as soon as she saw the other person, so Princess Huyan acted submissive in front of the queen.

Princess Huyan is not afraid of ambitious people. The more ambitious they are, the happier she is. She is only afraid of meeting those who are timid and content with the status quo. She really has no idea where to start with such people.

The little prince had not communicated with anyone for a long time, and he spoke haltingly. After holding back for a long time, he finally said, “I am… the thirteenth prince…”

“Well, what’s your name?” asked Princess Huyan.

“My name is Hu Yanjin.”

Faced with the stranger’s sudden enthusiasm, the little prince couldn’t help but stammer: “Ye, Ye Wuji…”

The little prince’s name was chosen by the queen herself. He was born unhealthy and had illness, so naturally she hoped that he would be as healthy as the other princes.

The two-character name just happens to be in line with the eldest prince and the crown prince.

“What are you playing? I know a really fun game. Why don’t I teach you?” Since Princess Huyan was planning to get close to the little prince, she naturally didn’t care about his timidity.

The little prince subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Princess Huyan took his hand without any explanation.

Since the little prince was born, no one had ever been so gentle to him. The little prince, who was only four or five years old, could not tell the truth from the false and was subconsciously stunned.

So, so warm…

While the child was distracted, Princess Huyan taught him several small games that were popular in Beiting.

Gradually, the little prince became addicted to Princess Huyan’s gentle and compassionate gaze.

Completely different from other people, when she looked at him, it seemed as if there was only room for him. This made the little prince subconsciously open his eyes wide, feeling very incredible.

How could someone like me…

However, happy times are always short-lived. After a while, the little prince caught a glimpse of palace maids and eunuchs rushing towards him from the corner of his eye.

“The little prince is here, the little prince is here!”

The little prince was startled and immediately broke free from the illusion, subconsciously pushing Princess Huyan.

Princess Huyan grew up on the grasslands of Beiting. Since she had the blood of the Wolf King flowing in her veins, she was naturally as sensitive as a wolf. She noticed the movement in the distance long before the little prince.

Just when the little prince thought that this time would be like the past, he would be discovered by his mother and the matter would end hastily.

The little prince was ready to be scolded and humiliated, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear –

“Remember the pattern I just taught you, little prince. I’ll play with you next time.”

Almost at the moment the words fell, Princess Huyan disappeared.

Then, the palace maids and eunuchs arrived breathlessly. They came late, so naturally they didn’t meet Princess Huyan.

Every time the little prince escaped, it was these palace servants who were punished. At the very least, they would be slapped in the face, while at the worst, they would be beaten with a stick. Over time, even the palace servants would feel resentful.

They blamed the queen for being unkind and the little prince for being disobedient.

Even though the palace maids didn’t dare to say it out loud, how could the little prince, who was so sensitive, not feel it?

He seemed to be born to be disliked.

If it had happened before, the little prince would naturally feel extremely painful, but this time, for some reason, when he thought about the next time the princess would come to see him again, the little prince suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

What’s more, he even felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.

For the first time, he began to look forward to the coming day.

The little prince left here reluctantly as his wet nurse suppressed her impatience and resentment. Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the rockery cave, and a trace of worry suddenly crossed his mind.

After about a moment, Princess Huyan came out from the corner, feeling extremely satisfied.

Although the queen’s legitimate son is young, being young has its advantages. He is easier to control and is less vigilant.

Princess Huyan originally wanted to work hard on other princes, but now it seems that there is no need.

Soon, Princess Huyan left with satisfaction.

In the blink of an eye, another five or six days passed.

Ye Shuo took Jian Jian to Zhao Chongrong’s palace to have a meal as usual. Then he found that Xu Chongyi, who had always been very happy to see them, was unusually absent-minded this time.

Even if Jianjian was trying to act funny and make Xu Chongyi laugh, Xu Chongyi’s smile was extremely forced.

But if Ye Shuo remembered correctly, Xu Chongyi seemed to be the niece of the Empress Dowager? She had no children, but her status was not low, so she should not have any worries.

After all, Ye Shuo and Empress Zhao and the others have known each other for seven or eight years since the mahjong game, so it’s inevitable that Ye Shuo would show some concern.

Xu Chongyi hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining the whole story.

Only then did Ye Shuo realize that it was an old cat that Xu Chongyi had kept in her palace that was missing.

Zhao Chongrong and Li Chongyuan had never kept a pet, so they didn’t know the significance of a pet to its owner and didn’t take the matter seriously. They thought the cat might have run away because it was playing, and it might find itself back in a couple of days, so they spoke to comfort the cat.

But Ye Shuo had raised both dogs and cats in his previous life, and he knew in his heart that after raising cats and dogs for nearly ten years, they were no longer just pets. No wonder Xu Chongyi was so worried.

What’s more, before he and Jianjian appeared, this cat had always been with Xu Chongyi.

So Ye Shuo wiped his mouth without saying anything and said, “It just so happens that I’m tired of playing sandbags with Ye Xun, Ye Yan and the others recently, and I’m just about to change to a new game. Today, when they get out of school, I might as well help Madam Xu find the cat.”

Xu Chongyi was stunned. How could a small person like her have such a big face when asking the prince and grandson to find a cat…

However, Ye Shuo patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Seeing Ye Shuo so persistent and not even bothering to do it, Xu Chongyi was both touched and happy.

“well……”
