Chapter 39

To be honest, the Emperor was suppressed by the previous Empress for so many years and seeing the third son who looked similar to her would inevitably give rise to fear and guilt. Especially as the older the third son grew, the more extraordinary his bearing and the noble aura his body emitted became, which in comparison would overshadow him as an Emperor. One might as well ask how could he not hate him to death.

Seeing a group of people walking to the divan with strange expressions, the Emperor spoke first, appearing fierce but was cowardly at heart, "Why did you not go organize the funeral of the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine, but ran to Zhen’s bedroom without reporting first? Who taught you your manners? "

"Erchen was expelled from the palace since he was a child and has never learned manners, so Erchen asks father for his forgiveness." Ji Changye’s slight jab sounded light but weighty, even so his expression was very gentle. He greeted the Empress Dowager and then sat down on the divan, slowly saying, "Erchen is here to report on the funeral to Father Emperor."

"Bury them in accordance with their standing as the Crown Prince and the Empress, why should you come to report? If you can't even do this, then leave it to your younger royal brother. He should also temper himself." The Emperor put down his brush and pointed to a meatball sitting next to the Empress Dowager.

The sixth prince squinted his small eyes and forced out a smile. Who didn’t want to be Emperor? Even someone as cowardly as him didn't want to push away the stuffed pie that fell from the sky. Anyway, the Empress Dowager had already promised him. After he ascended the throne, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything. He only has to eat, drink, play, boss people around and also summon all the beauties of the world to fill the harem. Wouldn't he be happier than when he was a Prince?

Ji Changye seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and cupped his hands towards the Sixth Prince, "Then let Younger Royal Brother take care of this matter." He actually directly admitted his own inadequacy.

"Well said, well said." The Sixth Prince waved his hand with a smile.
