It's Hard To Be A Born Son

Chapter 6

Hearing the creaking door, Shi Le secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes flashed as he barefooted on the soft couch. He picked up the copper mirror and looked at the brand again, but this time, he looked even more carefully.

The golden and red koi carp looked lifelike, as if they were born there, perfectly covering the once ugly brand. Shi Le thought that if someone accidentally saw it, no one would suspect it. Merely...

He reached out to touch the imprint. The touch of his hand still existed, and it wouldn' t stop because of the tattoo. It was just a cover.

Shi Le could not help but laugh softly. His smile was filled with sarcasm. Did he really think that if he hid it, it wouldn' t exist?

No, it was still there. Until he died, it would still be branded by his side, constantly reminding him of the humiliation he had suffered.

###Chapter8

After putting on his clothes, he walked out. Looking at the Rong Cheng standing in front of the door with his back facing the snow, Shi Le movement paused slightly." Thank you Uncle Wang today."

"If you want to thank me, then bring those people's heads to see this king." A cold voice rang out.

A person who was a member of the imperial family should not be humiliated.

"Yes."

Shi Le pinched his fingers tightly and looked up at the snowing day. It was unknown what he had thought of. The corners of his mouth curled up, his smile as cold as this Tian' er.

There Rong Cheng no need to say that she would make those people pay the price they deserved. Wasn't the meaning of her existence here?

The next morning, Shi Le was called up. He changed his clothes and entered the palace with Rong Cheng.

As usual, the heir did not need to go to court, but she was the only one left in the Shi family. The Emperor felt pity for her and made an exception to allow her to participate in the court affairs. It could be said that she was extremely loving. At the very least, in the eyes of outsiders, this was the case.

Before he had grown up, he had been admitted to the court. It could be said that no one was curious about this rumored heir.

For a moment, before he arrived, his name spread.

As soon as Shi Le entered the Supreme Harmony Hall, he sensed the gazes that were sizing him up in the open and in the dark. She didn' t seem to notice it, her expression unchanged as she stood beside Rong Cheng.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Long live our Emperor." Everyone knelt down.

The Emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe, and his face was solemn as he sat down under Eunuch Cao's empty support." Everyone loves Qing Pingsheng."

"If there's anything to do, let's go."

Shi Le held his breath and quietly stood to the side, quietly listening to the ministers discussing important matters. He carefully sized up the people present and studied them.

Since the ancient times, women were not allowed to interfere in court affairs. If she hadn' t borrowed this identity, she wouldn' t have been able to enter court. Therefore, she would seize every opportunity to learn. She didn' t feel that a woman was inferior to a son.

Rong Cheng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, his face pale.

After the morning court ended, Shi Le followed by Rong Cheng side. Some ministers wanted to go up and chat, but because of Rong Cheng, they could only stop thinking. Only a few of them dared to come forward, but at most, they only exchanged a few pleasantries before they lost interest and left.

Even so, Shi Le still felt tired. Sure enough, talking to smart people was a waste of time.

"Uncle Wang, has this always been the case?" Shi Le rubbed his temples.

Rong Cheng glanced at her," Are you regretting it?"

"No." Shi Le put down his hand." Regret is the most useless. I won' t regret any decision I made." Even if she was wrong, she would not regret it.

"If you want to stand still and do what you want to do, you must learn all of this." Rong Cheng tone was indifferent and merciless.

"Alright, it's time for you to go Grand Mansion. "It's already too late. If you delay any longer, Grand Tutor won' t be happy."

"Grand Mansion?" Shi Le turned around and looked at Rong Cheng in confusion.

"Yesterday, Tian' er forgot to tell you. The Emperor discussed with this king and told you to go Grand Mansion and study with those princes. This king Thinking that this was a good opportunity, I accepted it for you." Rong Cheng corners of his mouth curved slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Shi Le understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Cao smiled and walked over from afar:" This servant greets His Highness Yu, His Highness the Prince."

"Eunuch Cao is too courteous." Shi Le hurriedly helped Eunuch Cao up, Rong Cheng he stood by the side and gave a soft sigh.

This was the difference between power and power.

Eunuch Cao stood up with a smile on his face:" His Majesty is afraid that the heir is not familiar with the path of this palace, so I specially ordered this servant to bring the heir to Grand Mansion."

Rong Cheng nodded." If Eunuch Cao leads the way, then this king can rest assured." He turned his head and warned Shi Le a few words before handing her over to Eunuch Cao without hesitation. He left without a trace of nostalgia.

As he looked at his back, an extremely faint sense of loss Shi Le felt in his heart. It was just that in an instant, even Shi Le himself didn' t notice this feeling.

Grand Mansion was the place where the son of a relative of the emperor studied. Of course, apart from the royal family, there were also some sons of ministers, but most of them were in the form of accompanying reading.

Due to the early court, by the time the Shi Le arrived, they had already reached the Grand Mansion. The children in the room all sat upright. They shook their heads and followed Grand Tutor, chanting poems and learning the Dao of Man.

Shi Le didn' t want to disturb everyone, he silently stood outside the room. Seeing this, Eunuch Cao did not say a word and followed Shi Le outside.

The cold wind was howling, and the goose-feathered snow fluttered in the wind. However, when he heard the loud and clear voice of the Grand Tutor, Shi Le actually felt a bit excited and hot-blooded. Especially when he heard the Grand Tutor descending to the Yun King's charge to kill the enemy, his pair of black eyes were exceptionally bright.

Eunuch Cao stood to the side, a smile silently appearing in his eyes.

By the time Grand Tutor finished speaking, it was already noon. The students walked out one after another. The servants waiting outside quickly went forward to support their masters.

These people didn' t recognize Shi Le, but they recognized the emperor's red man, Eunuch Cao. The curious gaze of the Shi Le once again landed on him, and he thought to himself, Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?

Those who received the news guessed that this was Prince Yun's son, who had caused a stir recently?

Baby Tong was among them. Listening to the whispers of those people in his ears, he thought of that name and slapped his head.

He had just said that the name sounded so familiar at that time. No wonder he couldn' t.

Baby Tong wanted to go up and talk to Shi Le, but Shi Le had already entered the room. He was a little afraid of Grand Tutor. He didn' t want to go in, but he wanted to speak to Shi Le. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to wait outside. In any case, he was going to come out.

"Student Shi Le arrived late. Please forgive Grand Tutor." Shi Le walked into the room and respectfully apologized to Grand Tutor.

"Your Highness is too courteous." Grand Tutor smiled amiably. It was completely different from the strictness and seriousness in class. It was like the uncle walking a bird next door. He was very friendly.

Actually, when Shi Le arrived, Grand Tutor saw it. However, seeing that she was not born, she pretended not to have seen her. Even though Grand Tutor didn' t interfere in the affairs of the court, he had heard of the matter of this young prince who had just returned. Of course, it wasn' t a pleasant rumor.

Seeing this, this child was quite courteous.

Shi Le stayed behind Grand Tutor said a few words. Baby Tong was shivering from the cold outside. He kept muttering about why he still wasn' t coming out. He was going to be frozen to death. It was time to leave.

With great difficulty, Baby Tong ran up in joy," Shi Le, Shi Le."

Shi Le raised his head when he heard the sound." Fatty."

"My name is Baby Tong. You can call me Little Bao," Baby Tong said unhappily. "Besides, I' m not fat."

Seeing the ball-like Baby Tong, his eyes narrowed." Little Fatty."

"...... Baby Tong stared at Shi Le angrily. Suddenly, he did not want to be friends with her. This loathsome brat was too infuriating.

Where did he get fat? Where did he get fat? Yesterday, Grandma even said that he had lost weight, so told him to eat more!

"Little fatty, why did you call me?"

Shi Le smiled as he looked at the angry Baby Tong. He felt a bit envious. He was a spoiled child!

###Chapter9

Baby Tong wanted to find Shi Le to eat with him, but when he saw Eunuch Cao who was still following him, he looked at the kind smile on his face and didn' t dare say anything.

He wasn' t an i***t.

"Well, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together! "I' m worthy of you."

Not at noon, that night should be over! Baby Tong thought so.

"Probably not."

"Why?" He was caught off guard and was rejected. Baby Tong was a little stunned. Then, he reacted and said," If not tonight, then tomorrow! "Perhaps you can tell me when you' re free. Let's make an appointment first."

Shi Le thought for a moment and said," Tomorrow at noon! "I' ll come to Grand Mansion class tomorrow. Let's go after class!"

"Success, then Ming' er." Baby Tong hammered his hands in fear of Shi Le going back on his word. Before he left, he repeatedly told Shi Le not to stand up to him, or else his friend would have nothing to do.

Friend.

The ripples in Shi Le eyes moved slightly, and then returned to calm.

It was better not to be friends. You would regret it in the future.

"Prince, the emperor has been waiting for a long time." Cao Eunuch reminded him from the side, Shi Le suddenly came back to his senses and asked him to lead the way.

The last time they met, they were in the imperial study. This time, Eunuch Cao took him to the Yun Xia Palace. He was currently the most emperor's favour Noble Consort Xiao palace.

Shi Le could not guess the Emperor's thoughts, so he could only grit his teeth.

"Your Majesty, the Prince's Palace has come down." Eunuch Cao respectfully reported.

"Come in." The emperor's dignified voice came from the hall.

Shi Le raised a shallow smile and nodded with Eunuch Cao as he pushed open the door.

The Emperor in the hall had already removed his dragon robe. He was sitting in a casual dress reading a book, and on his left sat a Noble Consort Xiao dressed in luxurious clothes.
