Chapter 634: 306 Spoiling Grandson Like Crazy (Double Update) Chapter 634: 306 Spoiling Grandson Like Crazy (Double Update) In the study room, the crown prince was having his last lesson of the day.

Xiao Liulang’s classes were actually excellent, comprehensive and easy-to-understand, richly referenced, and never boring. They were more lively and understandable than the lectures of Scholar Han.

It’s not that Scholar Han’s literary foundation was inferior to Xiao Liulang’s, but Xiao Liulang, who had several little rascals at home, had to make his tutor sessions interesting or the kids would lose focus.

However, whenever the crown prince looked at Xiao Liulang’s face, he couldn’t help but recall Xiao Hen, who had already passed away, and would zone out.

“Your Highness, please explain the meaning of the sentence that was just discussed.” Xiao Liulang interrupted the crown prince’s twenty-seventh daydream.

The crown prince blinked: “Huh?”

Xiao Liulang repeated it once more.

The crown prince was startled.

He had just been thinking about Xiao Hen, how could he have heard clearly what Xiao Liulang had just lectured about?

Xiao Liulang was at the lectern, putting down the book, and said, “If the crown prince didn’t understand, I’ll repeat it.”

The crown prince felt like his head was about to explode. It was already time for lunch, but because he kept daydreaming and the content of the lesson wasn’t finished, other civil servant tutors might have already ended the lesson by now, as they wouldn’t dare to prolong the prince’s class.

But this Xiao Liulang was quite stubborn and insisted on finishing the lesson.

The crown prince had to grit his teeth and listen to it all over again.

By listening carefully, he did gain some understanding, at least he could immediately repeat the explanation now.

Xiao Liulang then tested him on several key points that they had learned today. The crown prince initially thought he hadn’t absorbed anything, but to his surprise, he answered all of them correctly and was taken aback.

When did he understand it all?

Hadn’t he been daydreaming about Xiao Hen throughout the lesson?

Xiao Liulang calmly said: “Today’s class will end here, please remember your homework, Your Highness.”

“There’s homework?” The crown prince looked at him with a frown, how dare he! He’s just a youth who hadn’t even grown all his hair, merely came over to substitute for a class, and actually took himself as his true teacher?

The crown prince was, after all, the emperor’s eldest and heir to the throne, he had the right to be arrogant. He looked down on Xiao Liulang, who came from a humble background and who was a little hobbled. Of course, it could also be that the complicated emotions he harbored deep within for Xiao Hen surfaced, causing him to project some of these feelings onto Xiao Liulang.

Did he miss Xiao Hen?

Of course he did.

There were so many brothers and sisters in the palace, but before Xiaoqi was born, he had no real siblings.

They all wanted his position, flattered him on the surface, but were jealous of him and cursed him behind his back.

The only one he considered a real brother was Xiao Hen.

Xiao Hen was so excellent, even though he was five years younger, he was better at studying, reciting poetry, and even better looking.

But he thought, this was his cousin, his future subject; if he was excellent, it was also a good thing.

He never envied him until… he met Wo Linlang.

He was thirteen that year, and Wo Linlang was eleven.

He was just a boy who knew nothing about love, but inexplicably, the moment he saw Wo Linlang, he felt that she was his future princess consort.

His mother often brought the daughters of high officials into the palace for companionship, but he didn’t like any of them.

If there had to be someone by his side on his destined path to kingship, he hoped that it would be Wo Linlang.

“What’s your name?”

“I…..”

“Sister Linlang!”

Ahen, a lively eight-year-old Xiao Hen ran over, tilted his little head, looking at Wo Linlang, then at him: “Cousin, you’re here? Let me introduce you, this is Sister Linlang, Linlang, this is my cousin, the crown prince.”

“Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince!”

She quickly knelt down to salute.

After that, she took Xiao Hen’s hand and left. As they walked, she was wiping the sweat off Xiao Hen’s forehead.

He heard her whisper gently: “Ahen, you must not climb trees in the future, it’s dangerous.”

“But I wanted to pick fruit for you to eat. Don’t you like it?”

“But I like Ahen to be safe and sound even more, I don’t want Ahen to get hurt.”

“Oh.”

He returned to the palace and told his Mother Empress that he liked Wo Linlang, the sister of Ahen. However, his Mother Empress seriously told him, “She is Ahen’s fiancée. She saved Ahen’s life. Their marriage has been arranged long ago. You are his elder brother, you can’t steal your brother’s fiancée.”

“Your Highness, Your Highness!”

Xiao Liulang’s voice interrupted the crown prince’s thoughts.

The crown prince was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He glanced at Xiao Liulang with guilt. It was terrifying how much this person resembled Xiao Hen.

What was his father, the emperor thinking?

Having him tutor him, wasn’t he afraid that he would have nightmares?

The crown prince regained his composure, in keeping with his good upbringing and demeanor, he suppressed his impatience and discomfort, and with a normal tone, he said, “I didn’t remember the homework just now, could Xiao Xiuzhuan repeat it?”
