I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 953 - Chapter 953 Scared

Chapter 953: Scared Chapter 953: Scared Editor: Atlas Studios The Second Prince was young and innocent now, so he could hang out with Little Treasure without any grudges.

But would he still be able to do so when he grew up?

Even if he didn’t want to change, would the people around him and the ministers be willing to see the brothers have such a close relationship?

Why did the Kangxi Emperor’s nine sons fight to the death?

Was it really because of their own ambitions?

They had probably been forced into such a position.

It wasn’t possible to guard against everyone.

One had only heard of catching thieves from afar, but they had never heard of guarding against thieves for 1,000 days.

Once a person’s thoughts strayed, whatever the adults did now would be interpreted by the children as biasedness in the future.

They would only acknowledge what they thought.

Instead of letting them grow up while having things hidden from them like this, it was better to expose it for them to see.

If they could see things clearly since they were young, how could there be any misunderstanding?

Considering there were so many professions in the world, not everyone was bent on taking over the throne from the beginning.

Mu Yangling looked at Qi Haoran inquiringly.

He nodded solemnly and said, “We’ll do as you say and tell the children the truth.

However, don’t scare the children too much, lest you ruin their relationship as brothers.

Tell them slowly.

Anyway, with the messenger pigeons, let’s slowly tell them about it via Little Bear’s hand.

Don’t give them a heavy dose right away.” Mu Yangling nodded slowly.

Biting her pen, she thought for a long time before she finally finished writing the first letter.

Considering that the four-year-old Second Prince still couldn’t read a letter independently, Mu Yangling wrote a joint letter to the two brothers.

First, she comforted the Second Prince.

“It’s not that your mother doesn’t love you, but that her love is a little extreme.

To her, love means to give one the best things.

And she clearly feels that the throne is the best thing in the world, so she wants you to snatch it.

Because of this, she doesn’t want you to get too close to your big brother, lest it’s hard for you to fall out with him in the future.

For example, in a large family, the eldest son of the first wife would inherit the ancestral assets while the other sons would receive some assets and have to venture out on their own upon growing up.

Your mother thinks that you’re great, and she wants you to inherit the ancestral assets.

This way, your Big Brother would stand in your way.

Naturally, she doesn’t want the two of you to be too close.

In her opinion, since your father favors obedient sons who do well in their studies, she wants you to put all your focus on your studies.

She feels that since you’re so smart and obedient, your father will definitely like you very much and might let you inherit the ancestral assets in the future.” Mu Yangling asked the Second Prince, “But do you think your Royal Father won’t like you just because you can’t memorize your books and have pretty handwriting?

Obviously not.

Your Royal Father is like thousands of other fathers.

His greatest wish is for his sons to be happy, and being successful and capable is secondary to that.

Look, he never forced your big brother to memorize books.

Your mother misunderstood.” Mu Yangling told the Second Prince, “Your mother likes you, and so does your Royal Father.

Your Royal Mother and the Crown Prince also like you.

Everyone has expectations for you, but it doesn’t mean that you have to satisfy everyone’s expectations of you.

You should follow your heart.

Since you’re still young now, you just have to grow up happily.

When you’re older, you have to think about what you like and what you want to do in the future.

It’s naturally best if you can satisfy the expectations of the people who love you.

If you can’t, just tell them that you’re very happy and blissful like this.

If they really love you, they’ll definitely be happy for you.” As for Little Treasure, Mu Yangling only asked him, “Would you like to be the Emperor?” Qi Xiuyuan held the letter retrieved from the pigeon in a daze.

After a long time, he looked down at his two sons and opened his mouth.

In the end, he didn’t lie and say that his fourth aunt was just kidding.

Instead, he asked, “Do you have any questions to ask Royal Father?” The Crown Prince turned to look at his second brother and poked his back.

The Second Prince looked up and asked, “Royal Father, is what Fourth Aunt said true?

Does my mother really like me?” ‘Of course she does.

She just likes the power she gets because of you even more.’ Forcing the urge to say this out loud, Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly and instead said, “No mother doesn’t like her son.

You’ll understand when you grow up.” The Second Prince let out a long exhale and smiled happily.

“I’m glad to hear that my mother likes me.

I’ll tell her later that I don’t like to memorize books or practice calligraphy.

I also don’t want to become enemies with Big Brother, let alone become the Emperor.” “Oh?” Qi Xiuyuan walked down the steps and sat on it.

Then, he looked at him steadily and asked, “Why don’t you want to be the Emperor?” The Second Prince wrinkled his nose and looked at his Royal Father and the Crown Prince sympathetically.

He said, “The Emperor has to wake up early in the morning and can only sleep very late.

He can’t leave the palace casually, nor can he leave the capital, nor can he go out to sea.

He can’t even use money casually.

He can’t eat or drink as he likes.

He doesn’t even get two hours of playtime every day.

He even has to listen to others when it comes to marryingaEUR| It’s even more terrifying than going to jail.” Qi Xiuyuan was in a daze for a moment before asking, “Who told you all this?” Before Little Treasure could stop him, the Second Prince had already shouted, “Brother Little Bear said so.” Since Mu Yangling was sending the letter via Little Bear’s messenger pigeon, she had given the letter to him directly.

This kid had no sense of privacy and there was no envelope on the thin piece of paper, so he read it.

When he saw that his second cousin wanted to be the Emperor, he was overjoyed.

He immediately took out a piece of paper and wrote to Little Treasure, asking him to quickly give up the position of Crown Prince to his second cousin and come to Guangzhou to play with them.

In order to convince Little Treasure, Little Bear exaggerated the hardships of being the Emperor by ten-fold.

Every time he listed a flaw, he would add the words “Just look at Royal Uncle and you’ll know”.

Beside it, it must have also listed how free and happy they were after they’d left.

Never mind the children, even their father could freely go out to sea or on an outing whenever he wanted.

Their family had even bought a few mountains outside Guangzhou City, complete with hot springs.

When winter came, their family would stay there for a period of time.

They would soak in a warm hot spring, eat roasted venison, and play with various imported toys.

Life was simply idyllic.

Little Bear also told Little Treasure that he had decided to tour the mountains and rivers of Great Qi after he turned 12, and he invited him to check out the local customs of various places.

If Little Treasure became the Crown Prince, he wouldn’t even be able to leave the capital, let alone travel around the country.

Moreover, Little Bear planned to sail to Nanyang in two years, perhaps even further in the future.

He asked Little Treasure if he would still be able to do this if he became the Emperor.

Therefore, he urged Little Treasure to seize this opportunity to give up the position of the Emperor, and go look for him to have fun instead.

When Little Treasure opened the letter, Little Bear’s letter fell out.

Coincidentally, the Second Prince recognized all the words on it.

After reading it, he cried as he hugged Little Treasure’s arm, wailing that he didn’t want to be the Emperor.

It was too pitiful to be the Emperor.

It was like being imprisoned for the rest of one’s life.

The people in the East Palace were frightened by the Second Prince’s reaction.

How could they not be terrified hearing him cry about not wanting to be the Emperor?

Seeing that the matter had blown up, Little Treasure hurriedly got someone to seal the East Palace and forbid word from spreading.

He also coaxed the Second Prince, saying that they wouldn’t force him to be the Emperor.

Only then did the Second Prince calm down a little.

However, Little Treasure was afraid that if he couldn’t suppress the news, it could have a negative impact on his Second Brother, so he took Second Prince to look for his Royal Father with the letter in hand.

After reading Little Bear’s half-tempting and half-threatening letter, Qi Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and turned to ask Little Treasure, “You, too, don’t want to be the Emperor anymore?”
