"Young Master Xie, even if you don't believe in your father, you should believe in yourself!" Ye Jingchen saw that Xie Chang'an's expression had softened and pressed on while the iron was hot.
Although Ye Jingchen was involved in these recent dramas, he was at most just offering advice. The fact that the plans were progressing so smoothly was entirely due to Xie Chang'an's execution ability.
Although Xie Chang'an is a reborn person, his physical body is only six years old, and he has only been reborn for a few months.
In just a few months, a mere child has already managed to influence the emperor's decisions, demonstrating Xie Chang'an's remarkable abilities.
Originally, Ye Jingchen's plan for Xie Chang'an's future was simply to lead the Xie family army and guard the northern frontier.
but--
After witnessing Xie Chang'an's formidable abilities, Ye Jingchen felt that it would be a waste for such a capable person to only command the Xie family army to guard the border.
The most important thing for a ruler is to know how to use people effectively and make the best use of resources.
The saying goes, "The capable are often given more work."
Since Xie Chang'an is so capable, we can't let him be idle; it would be a waste to leave him idle!
However, Ye Jingchen knew very well that Xie Chang'an had always been wary of him.
If he wants to give Xie Chang'an an important position, he still needs to make him lower his guard, accept him, and acknowledge him before he will be willing to work for him.
At times like this, Ye Jingchen would really wish Xie Chang'an were just an ordinary six-year-old child.
Because an ordinary six-year-old child is easy to coax, but a reborn person who has experienced many hardships and tribulations and survived countless life-and-death ordeals is not easy to coax.
Ye Jingchen could only proceed cautiously.
He had only experience in coaxing children before, and had never coaxed adults. The emperor was his first test subject.
So far, the results have been remarkable.
Although Xie Chang'an is a little more difficult to deal with than the emperor, he should still be able to handle this, right?
When Ye Jingchen wants to lie down, he's a lazy bum who's too lazy to even turn over, but when he wants to accomplish something, he's an absolute action-taker.
He wanted to make Xie Chang'an work for him, and once this thought came to mind, his attitude towards Xie Chang'an began to change.
Whether it's the art of language, the tone of voice, or even the look in one's eyes, everything has changed.
Xie Chang'an keenly sensed that Ye Jingchen's attitude towards him was different, and his words suddenly became more intimate.
Ye Jingchen had been affectionate towards him before, but it was always in front of their elders, a performance for them to see.
Now that they're in the East Palace, why are they suddenly being so friendly to him? Who are they putting on an act for?
Or is it that Ye Jingchen also wants to harm his father, so he deliberately says nice things to lull him into a false sense of security?
The thought had barely crossed Xie Chang'an's mind when he dismissed it.
Ye Jingchen is a smart man; he wouldn't do something so foolish as to cut off his own arm.
Something unusual must be going on.
Xie Chang'an ignored him with a cold face.
He gave Ye Jingchen a hard time, not for any other reason than to take his anger out on him.
Who can blame Ye Jingchen? He's the son of Emperor Shengping, and Emperor Shengping's most beloved son!
The thought that Emperor Shengping might turn against his father at any moment filled Xie Chang'an with murderous intent.
The shadow of his family members dying on the battlefield in his previous life had always loomed over his heart, and it was difficult to dispel it.
His hatred for Emperor Shengping has always existed.
So apart from Ye Jinghe, the little madman, and Ye Jingchen, who had his soul replaced, he ignored all of Emperor Shengping's other children.
He only agreed to form an alliance with Ye Jingchen after confirming that Ye Jingchen was not the original owner of the body.
However, sometimes he would still feel resentment towards Ye Jingchen because of the identity of Ye Jingchen's body.
Despite being met with indifference, Ye Jingchen remained completely unperturbed.
After all, Xie Chang'an is now a highly sought-after person in his eyes, and it's normal for capable people to be a little arrogant.
When he wants to deliberately please someone, he is extremely patient.
Seeing that Xie Chang'an didn't want to talk to him, he stopped trying to make conversation and just kept running beside Xie Chang'an, silently trying to make his presence known.
After his morning exercise, during breakfast, he deliberately sat next to Xie Chang'an, observing Xie Chang'an's preferences at the table without making a sound.
His observation of Xie Chang'an was very discreet, and no one else noticed except Xie Chang'an himself, who was being observed, and Ye Jinghe, who was always watching his brother.
Xie Chang'an had exceptionally keen senses; in fact, he could always detect the gaze Ye Jingchen cast upon him.
Ye Jingchen used to like observing him, but that kind of observation was not frequent and was within Xie Chang'an's tolerance range, so he turned a blind eye.
But now, Ye Jingchen's gaze was observing him too frequently. Every time he touched his chopsticks at the dining table, Ye Jingchen's eyes followed him like a shadow.
That gaze made him lose his appetite.
Thinking this, he gave Ye Jingchen a cold glance.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jingchen didn't receive his gaze, but Ye Jinghe, who was standing to the side, did. The protective wolf cub immediately returned his gaze with a fierce look.
Xie Chang'an: ......
Thinking of the madman from his past life, he looked at the little madman with a touch of pity.
Although he was looking at the little madman, he felt pity for the big madman.
“Brother, he was glaring at you just now.” Ye Jinghe’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly pointed at Xie Chang’an and said to Ye Jingchen.
Everyone's attention was drawn to those words, and they all looked towards the three of them.
Ye Jingchen: ......
This is a bit awkward.
"Young Master Xie, why are you glaring at me?" Ye Jingchen asked with a puzzled look on his face, without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Then you should ask His Highness the Crown Prince why he's been keeping an eye on me," Xie Chang'an retorted coldly, his face grim.
After asking the question, he glanced at Ye Jinghe and silently uttered three words to him: "Tattoo!"
"I wasn't watching you."
"My brother was clearly looking at me."
Ye Jingchen and Ye Jinghe spoke at the same time.
One looked completely innocent, while the other was self-righteous.
Then Xie Chang'an seemed particularly presumptuous.
Xie Chang'an: ......
Under everyone's gaze, he glared coldly at Ye Jingchen, then at Ye Jinghe, before continuing to eat his breakfast as if no one else was there.
"The real culprit!" Ye Jingchen feigned fear and shrank back.
"Don't be afraid, brother, I will protect you!" Ye Jinghe said, bursting with a sense of mission.
Anyone can glare at someone.
Look at his death stare—
"Boring!" Xie Chang'an threw out a kingly scorn.
The two of them, separated by Ye Jingchen, kept their hands and mouths moving while their eyes were locked in a fierce battle.
How childish!
This is the sentiment of all the other children who were watching.
Ye Jingchen seemed to be deep in thought.
Xie Chang'an truly cared deeply for his ally from his previous life, even playing such a childish game with him!
He was genuinely curious about how Xie Chang'an and Ye Jinghe's superficial alliance ended in their previous life. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for the two of them to be of one mind!
