Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

This Kind of Little Crown Prince (2)

While waiting for his grandson, Le Cheng Emperor’s mood was similarly complicated. After all, this was his first time seeing his family in these five years, but that was Li Hong Yuan, that unfilial bastard’s offspring. As the saying goes, to hate the house and its crow, so how was he able to like? Thus, his feelings were probably both haughty and contemptuous, yet also eager and nervous. However, to still not see the person after waiting this long, the anger inside rose again.

Speaking of which, Le Cheng Emperor was still being taken care of quite well. At least, compare to the beginning, he can now open his mouth and speak.

As such, when the ‘little crown prince’ came in neither slowly nor quickly, Le Cheng Emperor just began cursing, “You’re just like that bastard father of yours, a heartless, disgraceful, disloyal, unfilial bastard thing, and should’ve just gotten strangled to death at birth.”

Originally, the ‘little crown prince’, based on his proper upbringing, was prepared to have the surface relations maintained fully, but some people just didn’t know what was good for them.

The ‘little crown prince’ walked forward, moving over a stool, sitting ten feet from the bedside, tilting his head, listening to this imperial grandfather curse. He rather wanted to see how long he can curse for.

However, regardless of what, he was also once the emperor, no matter how he curses, overly vulgar things, he also didn’t know.

However, seeing the ‘little crown prince’s’ that pair of innocent eyes that seemingly didn’t know the ways of the world, as Le Cheng Emperor cursed, he just couldn’t continue cursing anymore.

“Done cursing?” The ‘little crown prince’ revealed a smile, “This level is also quite low, but, looks like imperial mother has let you lived a bit too comfortably, don’t even have the awareness of a prisoner. Why live in an imperial residence, if it’s up to me, it’d just be a random worn down grass hut, and as for the servants, picking young and beautiful ones, won’t that be too convenient for you, should just pick those crude-looking ones with yellow teeth that can easily just break your old bones with a tug. And when you dirty yourself, who would have the patience to change for you, and something like wiping the body for you, further don’t need to be mentioned. In any case, you being alive, aside from wasting even more grains, there also isn’t any other use, and the things used on you, if given to those impoverished people, it can raise not just one big family. Those people will even know to be grateful.”

Le Cheng Emperor right now was also just like Concubine Wei, like as if having seen a ghost, “You, you, you……”

The ‘little crown prince’ smiled without expressing anything. He’d already said, the only ones that can make him restrain himself were also just those two. “Just now, weren’t you still full of energy, yet in an instant, just started stuttering?”

“This is just how they taught you?”

The ‘little crown prince’ erected a finger over his lips, “Quiet, although I don’t mind you cursing me, but believe me, if you dare to involve imperial father and imperial mother, later, I will just tell them that you yelled at me, and then pitifully cry a little. Say, what do you think will happen to you?”

Le Cheng Emperor heavily heaved. What will happen to him? If light, then it will just be as what this brat said just now, but if serious, then he can just prepare to go die. However, Le Cheng Emperor was ultimately once the emperor, having his own dignity and pride. He coldly sneered, “So they know to teach you to defend one’s parents? Then, don’t they know to use themselves as an example?”

“Use themselves as an example? But the problem is, are you worthy?” The ‘little crown prince’ lightly retorted.

Speaking of this, Le Cheng Emperor’s eyes directly turned red, “Is this emperor not worthy? Towards your old man, even if this emperor didn’t plan on giving him the throne, on everything else, where else did this emperor mistreat him? His food and clothing were even better than his emperor. The treasures in his private storehouse were even more than this emperor’s. Indulging him, tolerating him, he had no power and influence, yet was still able to walk sideways through the capital, who gave him this privilege? Huh?”

If one were to argue like this, it seemingly was indeed like so. However, the ‘little crown prince’s’ expression was nonchalant, “Purely just indulging, is that what a qualifying father should do? Rather than indulging, it’s probably better to call it killing by flattering, raising useless. If there doesn’t exist any ambitions, then there naturally won’t be any threat. Besides, you’d merely done something wrong yourself, not daring to admit, not daring to face, using this kind of method to alleviate the guilt. Touch your heart and ask yourself, did you ever once genuinely loved imperial father before?”

Le Cheng Emperor’s lips trembled, his mouth opening and closing, yet he was unable to say a single word.

TN: All

The ‘little crown prince’ smiled, yet his eyes were a sheet of ice, “Qi Yuan’s territory has expanded, Qi Yuan’s national power becoming more prosperous by the day, millions of people live without worries over food and clothes, ordinary floods unable to form into a disaster, the numerous scholars of the various regions steadily increasing, many people all singing praises to an enlightened golden age, these were all brought about by that son of yours that you viewed as inauspicious. It has only been just five years. All your other sons added together, can they even compare with a fraction of him? To be muddle-headed, incompetent, and blind, your only worth to Qi Yuan was probably just giving brith to imperial father.”

Although the ‘little crown prince’ said it as such, his thoughts were running around again, apologizing to his imperial mother inside. One has to know, more than half the credit belonged to his imperial mother, but for the sake of achieving a better effect, it all got pinned on his imperial father’s head by him. His imperial father’s greatest worth was probably just marrying imperial mother, and of course, also giving birth to him.

The ‘little crown prince’s’ words, for Le Cheng Emperor, were without a doubt like nails stabbing into the heart. He’d believed himself to be top notch in governing the country. He exhausted his energy to do his best, both diligent and conscientious, but these all got denied by others, sounding as if he was just useless without any good points, and his only contribution was just giving birth to a good son?

The ‘little crown prince’ seemingly even disdained that he didn’t stab him enough, thus gave him some rough numbers, for instances, how much the taxes have increased, how insignificant the damage created by the floods were, how much the number of xiucai^[1] and juren^[2] reported up by the various regions have increased by, how much surplus grains the commoners of the various regions have at home, and so on. The most direct things also gave Le Cheng Emperor the most direct impact, because in comparison, during his reign, it was practically just like there was a famine every year.

For an emperor, even one that believed himself to be a brilliant and wise ruler, who’d attempted to leave behind a good name in history, what he couldn’t tolerate the most was probably just getting his everything denied. He didn’t want to admit, but someone just used the most obvious truth to tell him, making him unable to retort a single word.

The ‘little crown prince’ looked at Le Cheng Emperor, whose eyes have already become empty, walking forward step by step, slowly approaching. He was merely just a few inches away, the most directly eye contact, “I know, imperial father isn’t a good person, I’m not either, and you’re also not one, but we at least have the ability, able to let Qi Yuan prosper and boom. And you? Merely just a useless thing. If Qi Yuan stays in your hands for another ten years, the country will probably just perish. Originally, I just wanted to come see you today, and didn’t really want to say anything, but who let you not have the slightest perception, making me unhappy. After saying this much, this prince is already thirsty, so won’t stay any longer. As for you, just slowly wait for death.” The ‘little crown prince’ gave him a bright and innocent smile.

Watching the ‘little crown prince’ nonchalantly leave, Le Cheng Emperor seemingly finally realized, this was still just a few year old child. But, his words just now, was that something that can come from a child? Clearly just a demon!

“Hahahah!” Le Cheng Emperor suddenly started laughing out loud. He rather wanted to see that bastard son of his having such a demonic son, whether or not he will have good days in the future.
