My name is Gu Qingchen. My mother is the Empress Dowager of Dayu, my father is the famous Emperor Zhaoyuan, my elder brother is the Emperor of Dayu, and my uncle is the head of the loyal Jiang family. I was born surrounded by admirers and was personally bestowed the title of Prince Chen by my elder brother.
Everyone thought my life would continue to go smoothly, but things started to go strange as soon as I became able to move around freely.
It seems like they've all abandoned me without prior arrangement.
......
Zichen Palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't cry." The nanny tenderly wiped away Gu Qingchen's tears, but Gu Qingchen's face was already red from crying. "I want to see the Empress Dowager, I want to see the Empress Dowager."
The old woman was also distressed when she heard this. Even the young masters of ordinary families only moved to the front yard when they were six years old.
When they arrived at the Prince's residence, the Emperor Emeritus said that since the Prince had already begun his education a year ago, he could no longer stay in Zhaoning Palace.
But the prince is only four years old this year.
"Your Highness, the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager have already left the capital." As soon as the nanny said this, Gu Qingchen's crying grew even louder.
It wasn't until Gu Qingyan, whose face looked terrible, cried that he came over.
"Brother... hiccup..." Gu Qingchen cried and hiccuped, clearly feeling extremely wronged.
"What's the use of crying so loudly? Your mother can't hear you." Gu Qingyan looked at the little guy in front of him with disappointment, while inwardly condemning Gu Lin for his lack of any "bottom line".
But then I thought about it again. He had lived alone since he was born, and even if he cried his heart out, no one would hear him.
Gu Qingyan's heartache immediately dissipated by more than half.
"Gu Qingchen, if you keep crying, you won't grow tall," Gu Qingyan's voice rang out. "If you don't grow tall, you won't even be able to see the stage when you go to a concert, and you'll have to be carried onto a horse to ride one..."
Hearing Gu Qingyan's words, Gu Qingchen forced back his snot and was too scared to let his tears fall, fearing that he really wouldn't grow taller.
"That's right."
With peace and quiet finally around him, Gu Qingyan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Brother, but I'm scared..." Gu Qingchen hugged Gu Qingyan tightly, "I want to sleep with you."
“If you sleep with me, Father will say you’re a coward.”
After being coaxed by Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingchen successfully sobbed and went to bed to wrap himself tightly in his blanket.
"Your Highness, this servant will always protect you."
The old woman spoke with pity, "The prince is really pitiful; look how terrified he is."
On the way back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Father is really going too far these days." Hearing Gu Qingyan's words, Yingzhi bowed even more deeply, his heart trembling.
Will he listen to that? Won't he get executed by the Emperor after hearing it?
“However, Ah Chen is indeed a bit annoying now.” Gu Qingyan’s tone changed, and Ying Zhi’s eyes widened involuntarily, as if he could hardly believe his ears.
He really loved Ah Chen after he was born. He was fair-skinned and tender, and his smile could melt anyone's heart.
But once he reached the age of two or three and could jump around, he truly understood the old saying, "Even cats and dogs dislike him."
Even his Hall of Supreme Harmony was almost set on fire by this kid once.
If he agrees to let this kid stay at the Hall of Supreme Harmony with him tonight, he guarantees that there will be an extra bed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Everything in the Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into the clutches of evil.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyan quickened his pace as he walked back to the Taihe Hall, and Yingzhi followed closely behind him, equally bewildered.
......
So from the age of four, Gu Qingchen had the magnificent Zichen Palace, and every night he could only sleep with a quilt made of silkworm silk.
"Are you telling the truth? The house is full of gold?"
Inside a teahouse outside the capital, a young prince had apparently sneaked out of a private room and found a child about his own age.
"Of course, I don't lie easily." Gu Qingchen straightened her back. "It was a little dazzling at first, but I've gotten used to it now."
The guards who overheard Gu Qingchen's words in the shadows all twitched their lips in unison. Who did the young prince take after to have this personality?
Why does it smell like a fart?
"Wow, do your dad and mom live with you in a house full of gold every day?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingchen's face immediately darkened, and his gaze towards the other person became somewhat unfriendly. "Whose child are you? What's your name?"
Why do you always bring up people's sore spots?
"My name is Chu Lei." Chu Lei, oblivious to Gu Qingchen's "malice," still spoke with an innocent look on his face, "My father is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
"So it was you."
Gu Qingchen pouted slightly. "Since you're fairly clever, I'll reluctantly take you on as my underling."
A few moments later, the teahouse was quickly emptied, and a familiar voice rang out.
"Gu Qingchen".
Gu Qingchen's entire small body stiffened. No way, how could his father be here? Shouldn't he be traveling and enjoying the scenery with his mother?
Gu Qingchen slowly turned around, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Father, what brings you here?"
Gu Lin glanced at Chu Lei, who looked completely bewildered, and then grabbed Gu Qingchen. Jiang He, who was in the private room, heard the commotion and came out. As soon as he saw the situation, he knew that Gu Qingchen was in trouble.
Back at Zhaoning Palace, Gu Qingchen, who had been scolded by Gu Lin, came to Jiang Yu's side in tears.
"Mother, he was mean to me."
"Ah Chen, it's dangerous for you to sneak out like this." Jiang Yu hugged Gu Qingchen. "Your father is worried about you too."
"No, that's not it!" Gu Qingchen smelled the sweet fragrance on Jiang Yu's body. "He just doesn't want me to go see that Chu Lei."
Jiang Yu laughed upon hearing this. They had finally found a suitable candidate for the position of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and Gu Lin and A Yan took it very seriously.
Previously, Zhu Yao had resigned from his position as Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review because of Zhu Cheng, so the father and son were naturally worried that the son of the newly appointed Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review would be led astray by A-Chen.
"But I think that Chu Lei is quite interesting. Mother, I want him to be my study companion!"
Gu Qingchen was shouting, and Gu Lin's face outside the house darkened even more. He came in again and pulled Gu Qingchen out of Jiang Yu's arms.
"I don't want you, I want my mother!"
"Go back to your Zichen Palace, back to your house full of gold." Gu Lin's words were ruthless. Gu Qingchen struggled desperately, "You're disrespectful to your elders! I'm still young, why can't I go to my mother?"
"Besides, I'll stay with you in the Zichen Palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingchen immediately fell silent.
Forget it, let him just be "abandoned".
