Chapter 973: B*stard
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was not difficult to conclude from outsiders that the emperor loved the Crown Prince as much as his life
Earlier, the Second Prince and Third Prince had been imprisoned for stealing the Crown Prince’s candidate for Princess Consort, while the other had been demoted for speaking ill of the Crown Prince. The emperor’s ability to make enemies for the Crown Prince was simply incomparable.
“Father indeed… loves me too much.” Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes revealed a helpless smile. “To be honest, Senior Sister, when I was young, I also suspected that Father wanted to harm me.
“At that time, I was only five or six years old, and I understood some principles. If I hadn’t been smart, I would be a b*stard now.” Zhao Xuanjing also thought that he was amazing.
His father had taught him a lot from the history books, but there were more rewards and benefits than books.
“You worked hard too.” Xie Qiao nodded cautiously.
It was hard to deal with the current emperor.
“I’s not hard. I only struggled for a year, and then I accepted my father’s love. My life is quite comfortable.” Zhao Xuanjing’s lips curled up, looking a little arrogant.
Xie Qiao chuckled.
Ahh
She actually thought that Zhao Xuanjing had worked hard? She must be out of her mind.
As the Crown Prince, he did not have to compete with others for the emperor’s favor, and he did not have to worry about the emperor suddenly being cold and heartless to him. He even had to be praised by his father often. This life was obviously enviable!
If her father was half of the emperor’s father, she would not have to painstakingly save up her money.
Xie Qiao felt that she was under quite a lot of pressure.
The emperor loved the Crown Prince so much. If she made the Crown Prince suffer in the future, would not that mean… the entire family’s lives would be lost?
“Father once told me that when Young Lady Xie joins the family in the future, we’ll see what good things are in the private vault and let you bring them home. Just like the common people, we don’t have too many rules.” Zhao Xuanjing seemed to understand what she was thinking, and he immediately
reassured her.
Also, when they got married.
Everyone knew that the Xie family did not have money.
In order to prevent the Princess Consort’s dowry from being too little, the Ministry of Rites would add some appropriately. Since the Xie family gave his father the world map, they naturally could not mistreat them.
‘When Xie Qiao heard the Crown Prince’s words, her emotions were quite complicated.
If that was the case, after she got married to the Crown Prince.
She should be like the Crown Prince and be the center of attention?
Then the possibility of being exposed… was even greater?
Xie Qiao sniffed and touched the box in her hand. She lowered her head and opened it to take a look.
“Thi
is indeed a good brush.” Xie Qiao was fearless as she picked it up to take a look.
The brush was indeed made of wood, but there was a small section at the end of the brush that was bone. It was not very long, and it did not even look like a bone anymore. It was like white jade that was greasy now.
“Where did you find this thing?” Xie Qiao looked at it carefully and asked again.
“Father loved this brush the most in the past, and he gave it to me. I used it a few times and thought it wasn’t very easy to use, so I put it away. I gave it to my fourth brother on his birthday and just got it back from him,” Zhao Xuanjing explained quite clearly.
He was tall, and he lowered his head slightly, replying to Xie Qiao as he walked.
“You took it back from the Fourth Prince? Isn’t that inappropriate?” Xie Qiao asked.
‘The Fourth Prince was also a rare good brother. He did not even think about competing with Zhao Xuanjing for the throne, but no matter how good a person was, he would still have some temper. What if he got angry and went crazy from then on?
“Don’t worry about that. I made it very clear to the Fourth Prince. I also picked a set of the four treasures of study and gave them to him. Besides, he doesn’t use this brush much and keeps it in the vault to dust..”
