Chapter 1076: Brother Jiu Slays, Completely Torturing the Entire Place! (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Huaijing had the urge to rush into the Longevity Palace and ask his father. Why did you do this? Did I offend you in any way? Why do you have to torture me like this?
Yan Huaijing had wronged the Emperor. No matter how biased the Emperor was towards Yan Jiuchao, Yan Huaijing was still his biological son. How could he deliberately embarrass his son from the beginning?
Yan Huaijing could only blame himself for being too anxious and ambitious. The moment he came, he offered pills to the Emperor. The effect of those pills was indeed good. When the Emperor was happy, he was conferred the title of Crown Prince.
What Yan Huaijing did not know was that Yan Jiuchao had also given the Emperor medicine. The effect of that medicine was even better than Yan Huaijing’s!
The Emperor cherished his life. When he was happy, he asked Yan Jiuchao what he wanted.
Yan Jiuchao thought for a while and said to the Emperor, “What did you give Yan Huaijing? In short, mine can’t be inferior to his!”
This was the first time Yan Jiuchao asked the Emperor for something. In the past, he would refuse whatever he was given. Even the position of Princely Heir was on account that he could promote that girl after the wedding. Yan Jiuchao finally spoke to him. The Emperor had no choice but to give it to him. Otherwise, if he returned to his previous state, the Emperor would have a toothache.
Moreover, he was comparing himself to Yan Huaijing. Could it be that… he had been too good to Prince Jing recently, causing this little fellow to be jealous?
This discovery made the Emperor happy!
But…
The Emperor had decided to give Yan Huaijing the position of Crown Prince. It could not be worse than the position of Crown Prince. That could not be the throne, right? There was no way to give it up. The Emperor thought about it again and again, but it seemed that he could only confer Yan Jiuchao as the Regent.
However, as the name implies, the Regent was to lead the court. How could he be the Regent if he didn’t give him real power?
“Hmph, forget it if you’re unwilling.” Yan Jiuchao turned his little sullen face away.
Was Cong’er… acting coquettishly to him? The Emperor almost thought that he was seeing things. At that moment, the Emperor’s burst with joy was definitely not inferior to Yan Huaijing hearing that he had been conferred the title of Crown Prince.
See, the Emperor’s head heated up. And so a certain young master had supervised the country.
As for the manor, it was not to specially embarrass Yan Huaijing.
Prince Yan had returned to the Capital and was staying in the Young Master Manor. Two princes were staying in one manor. Doesn’t it sound like this— what kind of golden house could make two princes squeeze inside? It wasn’t against the rules to give Prince Yan another manor, but Prince Yan definitely wouldn’t accept it. Then, he could only give Yan Jiuchao another Regent Manor.
Yan Jiuchao’s Regent Manor was unbelievably grand. It was unknown if it was more or less because of his love for Yan Jiuchao or because he wanted to make it up to Prince Yan.
In short, Yan Huaijing was completely defeated in the first round!
This was not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing was that after he was conferred the title of a lousy Crown Prince without any real power, he stood in the court smugly and accepted everyone’s three kowtows and nine bows. Yan Jiuchao was conferred the title of Regent and was given a manor, but he did not even show his face! !! He did not treat it as a great thing at all, okay?!
In comparison, Yan Huaijing felt that he was not emitting endless glory, but the sour aura of a nouveau riche who had never seen the world.
Yan Huaijing don’t even know how he left the throne room. He felt that everyone was sympathizing with him. This might be the last time he would sit closest to the throne. Tomorrow, Yan Jiuchao would start to supervise the country. He should obediently stand below with those ministers and look up to the newly appointed Regent.
Yan Huaijing took a carriage back to the manor. He was probably the only person in history who could not be happy after being conferred the title of Crown Prince. He might as well not be conferred the title of Crown Prince.
Just as Yan Huaijing thought that he was already extremely unlucky, he actually met Yan Jiuchao.
Why did he come when court was over?
No, he was guarding here, blocking the way, and watching him make a fool of himself! Just like how he was guarding the palace gate last night to show off his contributions to Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao was also here to show off.
Yan Jiuchao leaned against the carriage with a lazy expression and a confident posture. “Long time no see, Cousin. I heard that you’ve been conferred the title of Crown Prince. I was just about to go to the manor to congratulate you.”
Listen, listen, listen! Even the words he said were copied from last night! He just changed the key words!
Yan Huaijing clenched his fists. He actually did not have a bad temper, but for some reason, every time he was in front of Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao always had a way to make him lose his cool.
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and looked at him.. He clicked his tongue and said, “Cousin, are you so excited that you can’t speak?”
