"Shut up!" The emperor glared at him with murderous intent. "What's wrong with living to be a hundred? Throughout history, which emperor has ever lived to be a hundred? In my opinion, the Crown Prince's wish is excellent!"

If the emperor says it's good, wouldn't anyone who says it's bad just be making the emperor unhappy?

"Your Majesty is right. This servant misspoke. His Highness the Crown Prince's childlike heart is kind and filial, which will surely move Heaven and bring blessings to Your Majesty!" Zhang Shunde secretly regretted his quick tongue, which displeased the emperor. He could only smile and flatter the emperor, hoping not to be resented by the young crown prince.

Ye Jingchen made a slip of the tongue, overlooking many taboos of the feudal dynasty's emperors. Fortunately, the emperor doted on the crown prince enough that he did not take it to heart.

He knew Zhang Shunde meant well in reminding him, so he naturally didn't hold a grudge and smiled at him.

But Zhang Shunde felt even more uneasy upon receiving the young prince's smile. What did His Highness mean by this? Why did he smile at him in such a meaningful way?

"Chen'er, don't take this old man's words to heart. We don't play these games between father and son. I have felt your filial piety. It's alright if you don't have what you want now. Just tell your father when you do!" The emperor made a generous promise.

Ye Jingchen knew that the reason his actions today had moved the emperor so much was simply because he was in the body of a child, and the emperor had a very strong bias towards this child. If it were his real self doing the same thing, the emperor would probably have ordered him to be dragged out and beheaded immediately.

If he were to make exorbitant demands for valuable gifts or do something that would embarrass the emperor simply because he gave him a flower, it might offend the emperor and damage their father-son relationship. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of his gift?
