Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

I am so envious of my younger brother, who has such a beautiful mother and a status that is born nobler than others.

The rank of Noble Consort is only below the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort. Now that the position of Imperial Noble Consort is vacant, there is only the Noble Consort left.

If the Queen makes a mistake, the Imperial Concubine can perform the Queen’s duties, hence the saying that her position is equal to that of the Vice Queen.

Now in the entire palace, the only one whose status can be compared with the newborn prince is the crown prince.

The others, even the eldest prince, are slightly inferior to him.

Under such circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ye Shuo was born under the spotlight of everyone. Except for the crown prince, he is the most precious person in the entire palace.

Even though Concubine Rong has been a little unhappy recently, as long as her position remains, the little prince’s status will not be shaken.

This is why Emperor Jingwen has acted this way recently.

However, the Sixth Prince is only five years old now. Even if he is precocious, he can’t think so much in his little head.

“Please, please be well, Madam Rong…”

When passing by, the slightly trembling and shivering sound of the child made the graceful and elegant Concubine Rong subconsciously stop.

In the past, she never paid attention to the people and things under her feet, but after giving birth to a child, she seemed to have suddenly become sensitive to children.

“Whose child is this? Why have I never seen him before?” Glancing at the ground, Concubine Rong noticed that the cuffs of the child’s clothes were frayed and no one was helping to sew them. She couldn’t help but frown.

The nanny beside him couldn’t help but blush after hearing this: “Your Majesty… this is the Sixth Prince…”

Then the nanny lowered her voice and said, “You have seen it before…”

“Really? Why don’t I have any impression of it?” Concubine Rong was puzzled.

Because at that time you never even lowered your head to look at the Sixth Prince, Your Majesty!

The Sixth Prince was young and small in stature. The nanny had noticed that every New Year when the palace maids took him to kowtow to the Emperor and the Empress, the Imperial Concubine had passed by him twice.

Before the Sixth Prince could even call out the stumbling Empress Rong, Concubine Rong had already disappeared.

Concubine Rong: “…”

“This is impossible, Mammy, please don’t slander me.” Concubine Rong flatly denied it.

There was no way she could be so cruel to a child.

Upon hearing this, the nanny looked at her helplessly and said, “How dare I lie to you?”

Concubine Rong was forced to accept the fact that she was once a scumbag.

Ye Shuo watched with great interest from the side.

Now that he is one month old, his ears can hear more clearly and his eyes can see farther, so he can fully see his mother’s embarrassment.

“Ahem…you should get up.” Seeing that the Sixth Prince really didn’t dare to say a word, Concubine Rong coughed lightly and spoke indifferently.

Caught off guard, the Sixth Prince was stunned.

In the past, Empress Rong never wanted to talk to me, so why today…

“I’m asking you to get up.” Concubine Rong was a little impatient.

The Sixth Prince was startled and stood still.

The palace maid beside him also felt her heart skip a beat.

When Concubine Rong saw them, she became even more displeased. She was not that scary at all. Why were the two of them like quails?

If it were in the past, Concubine Rong would have turned around and walked away without even looking at the two of them, but today, for some reason, she actually asked a few more questions: “It’s still so cold, why are you wearing only two pieces of clothing and coming out? Are the servants being so slow?”

Looking at Ye Shuo in the nanny’s arms, he was wrapped in three layers of clothes. He was neither too hot nor too cold, but very warm.

Hearing this, the maidservant beside the Sixth Prince turned pale and fell to her knees with a plop.

The imperial concubine suddenly asked this what should we do…

The palace maid couldn’t help but secretly glance at the face of the Sixth Prince next to her, and a hint of pleading flashed in her eyes.

To say that she did not serve him wholeheartedly would be a lie. The prince was still a prince after all, and he was not someone that servants like them could humiliate.

But if I say I have done my best, it would be a lie.

By following other princes, her future would be bright and rewards would be inevitable. However, following the sixth prince of low status, she would get nothing.

As time went by, the palace servants around him naturally became negligent.

“No need to look at him, I want to hear what he says himself.” Concubine Rong gave a look, and the young eunuch next to her did not hesitate and pressed the maid to the ground.

Sensing that something was wrong, the maid could not help but plead loudly, “Sixth Prince, Sixth Prince, save me!”

There was an obvious struggle in the child’s eyes, but after a long time, the struggle calmed down again, and the initial timidity was much less.

“Thank you, Madam Rong.”

Under Concubine Rong’s playful gaze, the Sixth Prince bowed to her politely.

“It’s just that the palace servants were negligent. It’s not their fault. If I can stand up, they naturally won’t dare to stand up. If I can’t stand up, it won’t make any difference no matter how many batches of palace servants I change.”

Is this really something a five-year-old could say?

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at him. Two seconds later, Ye Shuo’s eyelids twitched violently.

Although the child in front of him was weak, he was also patient.

Although he was shivering, his eyes were bright, as if there was a fire hidden in them.

…This person is definitely not content with the status quo, and will most likely become an ambitious person in the future.

Ye Shuo made this judgment in his heart.

Concubine Rong, who was standing by, was also shocked when she heard this, but she was not panicked because this child was far inferior to her son.

Although the Sixth Prince’s words did not arouse Concubine Rong’s sense of crisis, they did arouse her interest, the kind of interest that comes from teasing a pet.

“It just so happens that I am going to take Shuo’er out for some fun today, so you can come along.”

The tone, which sounded like alms, made the Sixth Prince a little stunned. However, before he could say anything, Concubine Rong and her entourage were ready to leave.

After hesitating for a long time, the Sixth Prince finally followed.

They said they were playing together, but in fact it was just the Sixth Prince playing with Ye Shuo.

Although Ye Shuo is only one month old now, Concubine Rong has already found a future follower for him.

Concubine Rong was planning to let her son sit in that position. If she wanted to compete with the Crown Prince, she had to find help. The Sixth Prince, who was of humble status, was a good choice.

Ye Shuo: “…”

Realizing what his mother was thinking, Ye Shuo was speechless.

Who would dare to want such assistance?

Maybe instead of providing assistance, I’ll just give up and let this guy reap the benefits.

Concubine Rong didn’t think too much about it, but subconsciously felt that the poor little thing would definitely not dare.

They arrived at a lawn, where someone had laid out several thick layers of bedding. Then the nanny slowly and carefully placed the little prince in her arms.

When the Sixth Prince was pushed over, he was confused at first. After he came to his senses, he couldn’t help but clench his palms.

When the Sixth Prince guessed what Concubine Rong meant, his first reaction was humiliation, but soon he thought of something and his eyes gradually became calm.

When you lower your head and raise your head, you see two different faces.

Ye Shuo: “…”

Good job.

In this case, he might as well borrow Concubine Rong’s power. At the very least, his situation will be better than it is now.

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and the Sixth Prince understood the pros and cons as if he had learned it by himself.

Soon, the Sixth Prince took the rattle handed to him by the nanny very naturally.

When Concubine Rong saw this, she couldn’t help but nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Shuo’s face was full of black lines.

It is a beautiful spring day today, and many concubines have come to the Imperial Garden. Each of them is dressed up carefully, as if they want to blend into the spring.

Since Concubine Rong can remember to take her children out to bask in the sun, others can naturally do so as well.

The fourth prince and the fifth prince were the sons of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu respectively. Because their mothers had a good relationship, the two often stayed together.

As for the Seventh Prince, he was the child of Xu Guirong from Concubine Shu’s palace. Since they came from the same palace, the Fifth Prince would often play with the Seventh Prince, who was only four years old.

It was said to be playing, but in fact it was just not ‘playing’ with the Seventh Prince.

The Fifth Prince often bullied the Seventh Prince because he was young and ignorant, and the Fourth Prince kept shaking his head when he saw this.

The fourth prince, who was already ten years old, reminded the fifth prince many times, but the fifth prince never changed his ways and turned a deaf ear to the warnings.

The two were about to quarrel again. Seeing that his fourth brother was about to get angry again, the fifth prince quickly diverted his attention: “Fifth brother, look who’s coming?”

The fourth prince frowned: “You are trying to play tricks on me again——”

“I really didn’t lie this time. If you don’t believe me, just look!” The fifth prince wanted to turn his head away.

But thinking of his brother’s character, the Fifth Prince immediately gave up the idea.

The Fourth Prince then turned around doubtfully.

It turned out to be the newly born prince.

The news of the little prince’s birth has spread throughout the harem, and the excitement has lasted for a whole month.

However, the fifth prince was somewhat disdainful.

He is also the son of the emperor, how precious can he be?

The fifth prince was spoiled by nature, so he was naturally dissatisfied when he heard such news.

He rolled his eyes and looked at the little baby lying there. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind: “Why don’t we…”

“Don’t even think about it!” The Fourth Prince rejected it without hesitation.

“I’m warning you, Concubine Rong is not someone you can afford to offend. You’d better give up this idea.”

The fourth prince was already old enough to know affairs at the age of ten, and he had long since learned how to behave.

But how could the Fifth Prince listen to him?

“If you don’t want to do it, I can do it by myself, right?”

“You–” Seeing that he not only did not stop, but became more and more aggressive, the Fourth Prince threw his sleeves in anger and walked away.

The fifth prince couldn’t help but make a face at his back.

But having said that, you really can’t do this by yourself.

When the fifth prince lowered his head, he happened to see the confused seventh prince.

In an instant, the Fifth Prince came up with a plan.

On the other side, Ye Shuo was basking in the sun comfortably, thinking that it was great to be a child. If he were an adult, he would never be so carefree.

As for the two sneaky figures on the rockery not far away, Ye Shuo didn’t take them seriously. He just thought that they were princes from a palace just like himself.

The opponent’s hiding skills are really not that good. Look, even the Sixth Prince beside him discovered it.

After a few breaths, the other party seemed to throw something over.

Seeing those parabolas, Ye Shuo instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Su qiu also felt something and couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Sixth Prince was stunned at first, then he used his body to tightly block the swaddling clothes that were so close to him.

Ye Shuo’s eyes blurred, and then he saw the Sixth Prince’s tense little face.

“Gulu”, something fell on the lawn.

It turned out to be a small stone.

The Sixth Prince himself didn’t know what he was thinking. By the time he reacted, he had already picked up one of the bullets. While no one was paying attention, he gritted his teeth and scratched his forehead with it.

The next second, blood gushed out.

Then came the angry scolding of Concubine Rong and the voice of the nanny shouting to arrest people.

At first, the Fifth Prince didn’t take it seriously. It was just a handful of stones. What could go wrong?

He just doesn’t like the kid and wants to teach him a lesson, so what?

He and his fourth brother used to fight all the time when they were young. How come Concubine Rong’s son is so precious that he can’t be touched at all?

It was not until the Fifth Prince saw the child standing in front of the cradle looking back at him with blood on his face.

The fifth prince’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It’s over, something happened.

He instinctively wanted to run, but it was too late now.

He was caught red-handed by Concubine Rong.

The entire imperial garden suddenly became chaotic.

Looking at the Sixth Prince who was bleeding, then at the Fifth Prince who was calm and composed, and then at the Seventh Prince who was obviously tricked and now scared silly, Ye Shuo, who had watched the whole process, had his chest heaving and was stunned.

After two breaths, he couldn’t control himself and cursed fiercely in his heart –

Grass!!!!
