Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Yao Zhi spoke without hesitation: “He is kind, loyal, and responsible…”

Yao Zhi listed a string of advantages rapidly, which stunned the imperial concubine beside her.

Then, Yao Zhi’s expression became a little embarrassed, not knowing what she thought of: “Also, he looks good…”

So among the advantages, the Imperial Concubine probably identified most deeply with the last one. After all, he was her own son, who inherited the advantages of both her and the Emperor, so naturally he looked good.

But he is kind, loyal, and responsible…

Is she talking about her own son who would rather sit than stand, would rather lie down than sit, and would always want others to take care of everything for him whenever he encounters any problem? ?

This girl was indeed deceived by Xiaojiu.

The imperial concubine’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The imperial concubine held it in for a while, but couldn’t hold it in any longer, so she asked tentatively: “Don’t you think he’s a troublesome person?”

Only because I am his biological mother and he is the child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, I am so patient. If it were someone else, it would be strange that they would spoil him like this.

Yao Zhi was stunned when she heard this: “No, why would he cause trouble? He has such a good temper.”

“Prince Rui is a very gentle person.” Gentle and good-tempered. Thinking of this, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but blush.

So, good temper.

A very gentle person.

Even if the Imperial Concubine was going against her conscience, she couldn’t say that her son had a good temper. After all, everyone in the palace knew that the Ninth Prince was born with a bad temper. He had never listened to the Emperor since he was a child, and his temper couldn’t be worse.

Speaking of gentleness…

If his brothers heard this, they would probably roll their eyes at him. He bullied this one and provoked that one every day. How could he be gentle?

Now that the Sixth Prince’s wife was present, the Imperial Concubine felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this.

Normally, she could praise herself as much as she wanted behind closed doors, but if she was outside… the Imperial Concubine would always have some sense of shame.

“Don’t be shy, come sit inside the palace.” The Imperial Concubine couldn’t stand it any longer, so she called her into the house and signalled Su Yue with her eyes to send away all the palace maids around her to avoid being laughed at by others.

However, to outsiders, this scene seemed like the Imperial Noble Consort was having a very pleasant conversation with the future Princess Rui, and she even took the initiative to hold the hand of the future Princess Rui, looking very intimate.

The scene that everyone expected did not seem to happen.

The Imperial Concubine is not a two-faced person. If she really has something on her mind, she will express it on the spot. She would not be like this now, unless she is really satisfied with the future Princess Rui.

The Sixth Prince’s wife next to her was startled, and then burst into laughter. It seemed that she had made a wasted trip today.

“My dear mother, I remember that today is the day for checking the accounts at our residence, so I will take my leave now.”

Presumably, the Imperial Mother still had many things to explain. After paying her respects, the Sixth Prince’s wife did not stay long and prepared to leave by making an excuse.

The Imperial Concubine did not try to persuade her to stay, as she had a lot of questions to ask.

As early as just now, when she came in, Yao Zhi discovered that Ye Shuo’s mother was also a stunning beauty. Although she was a little older, she still had unparalleled beauty. What’s more, because she was not as young as she was before, she had added a touch of charm that was unique to women and that only time could give her.

The Imperial Concubine is like a peony, extremely beautiful and gorgeous, and unparalleled in wealth and honour.

When she took her hand, Yao Zhi realised that the imperial concubine’s hands were extremely soft, like the finest mutton fat. Compared with her own, Yao Zhi felt ashamed.

How come they all look so good? Even the details like fingers and hair are beautiful.

The Imperial Concubine also felt the calluses on Yao Zhi’s palms caused by years of sword practice. The Imperial Concubine had seen her father and brother practising martial arts at home, and Jian Jian also practised martial arts, so the Imperial Concubine naturally knew the hardships involved.

It is not easy for women to surpass men in this regard, let alone reach the top level in the world.

In the end, such a girl ended up in the royal family.

The imperial concubine couldn’t help but curse her son in her heart, what a sin!

To be honest, the girl in front of her was not the most beautiful, but she was very smart. When she thought that her brilliance would be dimmed because of her identity as a princess, the imperial concubine couldn’t help but feel regretful.

It turns out that all men in the world are the same. They like to catch birds in the sky and put them in cages, but they don’t care about those that are already in cages.

What a bastard!

This made the imperial concubine think of herself.

The Imperial Concubine felt more and more guilty. After Yao Zhi sat down, she hurriedly asked, “My dear girl, I heard that my bastard son often loses his temper with you. Does he make you angry?”

Yao Zhi was stunned: “How could it be?”

“King Rui… treats me very well.”

If she hadn’t known about it before, the Imperial Noble Consort might have really believed it. But this was said by Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen said that he had seen with his own eyes that his son had given the girl the cold shoulder for no apparent reason, and the girl had to try to coax him in return, which was really aggrieved.

The Imperial Concubine then said, “Don’t lie to me. I know everything.”

Yao Zhi then remembered that this was the case.

But how could she let herself be angry? On the contrary, seeing him jealous, Yao Zhi felt as sweet as if her heart was filled with honey.

Recalling the young man’s face full of resentment, his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes staring at her, and cursing her non-stop, Yao Zhi’s face suddenly tingled and even steam came out of her face.

“I, I like him like that…”

Yao Zhi was quite anxious, but the Imperial Concubine next to her was very disappointed.

It’s over, it’s all true.

The last bit of hope in the imperial concubine’s heart disappeared.

My son has been completely spoiled by me.

“Why do you like him? If he gets angry at you, just scold him!” Putting herself in the imperial concubine’s shoes, the anger in her heart suddenly emerged.

“If it doesn’t work, don’t you know Kung Fu? Go ahead and hit him. He can’t beat you.”

“How, how can this be possible?” Yao Zhi hurriedly shook her head.

“He’s afraid of  pain. What if I hurt him? I can’t do it.”

Besides, being in such an environment and having to go through so many things, he was already pitiful enough, how could Yao Zhi bear it?

The moment the voice fell, noticing the pity in Yao Zhi’s eyes, when the imperial concubine looked at the girl in front of her again, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.

“But if you don’t straighten him out in time, you’ll be the one who suffers when you get married in the future!”

To be honest, as a mother, she naturally hopes that her daughter-in-law will be obedient and devoted to her son.  

But there is a connection between these two. The imperial concubine also hopes that her son can grow up to be a truly responsible man.

His own son is bullying the girl too much!

Yao Zhi was a little confused when she heard this: “How can it be hard to be with him?”

Yao Zhi thought about it and found that apart from her status, she didn’t find any grievance.

But her birth was not something she could decide, and she had tried very hard not to make herself feel embarrassed.

Yao Zhi is not a fool. She is clean and tidy, and no one gossips about her. The servants in the palace treat her respectfully. How could she not know why?

The imperial noble concubine was shocked: “He asked you to climb up the cliffs to pick fruits and go to the river to catch fish. If he thinks you are not doing well enough, he will scold you. Isn’t this hard work?”

“He didn’t scold me.” Yao Zhi always felt that something was wrong, but she really couldn’t put her finger on it.

Yao Zhi couldn’t help but correct him: “He’s just angry with himself.”

After thinking for a while, Yao Zhi added: “And the reason why he did this is also for my own good.”

After hearing this, the imperial concubine almost fainted.

“Silly girl, what a silly girl.”

“If he really wants you to protect him, would he let you protect him? It should be him who protects you!”

“Could it be that you can protect him like this for the rest of your life?”

If it were him, and if he never changed his mind, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to do it for his whole life.

What’s more, it seems that I haven’t done anything.

Yao Zhi has always played the role of a protector in the martial arts world, so these things are really commonplace for her.

As for the Imperial Noble Consort, except when she married the Emperor, she was the one being protected the rest of the time, so she could not understand it no matter what.

How could he have the heart to deceive a girl into this state?

This child has grown completely crooked!

Jian Jian, who was standing by, had been listening for a long time, but now she couldn’t bear to listen any longer: “You must have been deceived by my brother.”

The Imperial Concubine took a deep breath and suddenly looked at Su Yue who was standing beside her: “Where is the Ninth Prince? Tell him to come over here!”

He didn’t even accompany Miss Yao on such a big occasion as her first visit to the palace. This is simply outrageous!

Su Yue pulled the corner of her mouth, was silent for a moment, and said: “To answer your Majesty, the Ninth Prince… is now fishing with His Majesty.”

The Imperial Concubine was already angry, and this stirred up a hornet’s nest.

“Go and invite him now, right now!”

It’s over, it’s over. The Imperial Concubine is completely furious this time. I hope the Ninth Prince will just take care of himself.

Su Yue hurriedly bowed and said, “I’ll go right away.”

The other side.

Looking at his calm little son, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but feel confused: “Isn’t today the day when Miss Yao enters the palace? Why don’t you go and take a look?”

Ye Shuo yawned and said lazily, “What’s there to see? Don’t worry, Dad. Mother and the others can handle any problem themselves.”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

At the beginning, I was still there for him, but in the end, my youngest son is not even as good as me.

After a while, Emperor Jingwen saw the maidservant beside the Imperial Noble Concubine coming over with some people.

Seeing that His Majesty was also there, Su Yue hurriedly paid her respects. After being called by Emperor Jingwen, Su Yue looked at the Ninth Prince who was standing beside her and said, “Your Highness, the Queen is calling you.”

Emperor Jingwen knew immediately that his son would probably get into trouble this time.

Emperor Jingwen originally wanted to go and take a look, but thinking about the possibility of being injured by mistake, he decided not to do so.

Ye Shuo touched his chin and put down the fishing rod.

“Let’s go.”

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Shuo stepped into the gate of Qiuwu Palace, a teacup lid flew towards him.

Ye Shuo originally wanted to hide, but when he saw Yao Zhi next to him move, he did not move.

Yao Zhi almost subconsciously stopped the cup that was thrown at him.

Ye Shuo blinked and looked at his mother, seemingly innocent: “Mom, what did your son do wrong? Why did you hit me?”

Seeing the young man’s aggrieved face, Yao Zhi subconsciously shouted, “My Lady!”

The imperial concubine’s breath was suddenly stuck in her throat, unable to breathe out or swallow.

He still has the nerve to complain. How can he have the nerve to do that?

“Get over here!”

After all, the Imperial Concubine is Ye Shuo’s biological mother, and Ye Shuo dare not disobey her. So under Yao Zhi’s nervous gaze, Ye Shuo came to his mother.

The son who used to be so caring to me now seemed so unbearable to me.

The Imperial Concubine looked at the worried Yao Zhi, took a deep breath, grabbed her son’s ear, and said with almost gritted teeth: “I don’t care what happened in the past, but if you bully her again in the future, watch out for your skin!”

God have mercy on her, how could there be such a pitiful and silly girl!

Did his mother… agree?

Seeing that Ye Shuo was in a daze, the Imperial Concubine thought that he was unwilling, so she used more force on her hands, and Ye Shuo screamed in pain.

“Son knows, son knows, son will treat her well, mother, please let me go!”

Only after the Imperial Concubine had vented her anger did she let him go.

In this way, their marriage was settled.

The Imperial Concubine’s unexpected reaction, even the fact that she gave a lecture to her own son whom she protected like the apple of her eye because of that chivalrous woman, shocked everyone in the harem.

Because of the attitudes of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, no one dared to say anything this time.

The messenger travelled day and night, and within a few days, it brought the news to the Medicine Valley.

After obtaining the “consent” of everyone in Yao Ren Valley, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to prepare for the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Rui.
