But soon after, Jin Wang was slapped in the face. Someone had been sent over to invite him into the palace.

It was mostly because Jin Wang had left too little face for the other party. The large red “demolish” written on the arc of the main gate at Hui Wang Manor was way too conspicuous. Before Hui Wang even stepped foot into the palace to make trouble, the incident had already spread everywhere. Everyone soon heard about it.

Empress Wei felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing this.

Back then, with her status as the crown prince’s mother, she voluntarily requested for his crown prince title be abolished. But it had only been for the sake of self-preservation. This had been the best method at the time. Not only would this preserve the crown prince’s life, but appease Emperor Hongjing. An Wang and the others who were familiar with the inside story would also not make any trouble in the dark.

This was why she took the initiative to ask for the abolishment of the crown prince. It was also to set a precedent.

The crown prince didn’t show any promising signs nor was he particularly useful but in the end, he was born from her womb. Long story short, in her heart, she was still partial to him. Now that her son’s crown prince position was gone and he was slapped on the face under the public eye, no matter how virtuous Empress Wei was, she couldn’t help feeling annoyed.

Later when Hui Wang entered the palace to make trouble, she simply refused to coax him and pretended to have a headache. People then passed this matter to Emperor Hongjing.

Not long after, Hui Wang was taken away by the people from Qianqing Palace.

Unlike when facing Empress Wei, the crown prince was actually a little afraid of Emperor Hongjing. He dared to roll around and cry in front of Empress Wei, but he didn’t even dare to say anything in front of Emperor Hongjing.

But there really was no need for him to say anything. As long as Emperor Hongjing wanted to know anything, he would. Including what happened at Hui Wang Manor, what he said to Empress Wei, and why Empress Wei was having a headache.

“Your Mother Empress is not feeling well, yet you still go and trouble her. It seems that Zhen has been too tolerant of you.”

Back when he was young, Emperor Hongjing had been a beautiful man. But at this moment, his thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed. The corners of his mouth were pressed together, emphasizing the harsh lines on his face.

Hui Wang’s face flushed red. After a long empty silence, he said, “It’s not erchen who is making trouble, it’s old fifth! He’s not giving me any face as the eldest brother!”

“For others to treat you like the eldest, you must first act like one!” Emperor Hongjing slammed his hand down onto his dragon desk, and the nearby teacup was knocked down by his movements. Tea was spilled everywhere.

Li Dequan sighed and hurriedly got a small eunuch to grab a cloth to wipe it clean, while he quickly tidied up the emperor’s desk.

Emperor Hongjing stood up, the veins on his forehead bulging, and he waved his hand impatiently. “Scram! Leave the palace for Zhen right now!”

So the crown prince scrammed.

“A bunch of useless things!”

No one dared to speak.

After a while, Emperor Hongjing spoke up again, “Go and call Jin Wang into the palace!”

With that, Jin Wang soon entered the palace.

He remained calm and composed, but Yaoniang was extremely anxious. Desperate, she came up with the idea for Jin Wang to bring Xiaobao along. In the presence of his young grandson, she didn’t believe that Emperor Hongjing would beat Jin Wang in front of Xiaobao.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongjing, who was originally fuming with anger, felt his pent-up anger released upon seeing Xiaobao.

After paying their respects, the father and son duo stood below.

Emperor Hongjing asked, “Are you aware of why Zhen called you into the palace?”

“Erchen doesn’t know.”

Looking at the emotionless face of Jin Wang, Emperor Hongjing became even angrier, but he also felt some admiration towards this fifth son of his. Jin Wang was calm and self-assured. Amongst all these sons, only old fifth’s face remained unchanged when he was angry.

“What you did yourself, are you unaware?”

It was originally a very solemn scene. Inside the grand hall, sat the almighty emperor, surrounded by a crown of eunuchs and palace maids.

But what should have been a solemn scene was ruined by the presence of a small child dressed in bright red. Swaying, he slowly but surely made his way to the dragon desk.

Mischievous, he believed himself to be sneaky because of his size, but the truth was everyone had long noticed him. After all, there was nowhere for him to hide. Once he reached the emperor’s desk, he crawled under the yellow tablecloth and peeked out from time to time, smiling at Jin Wang. He was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Emperor Hongjing tried his best to maintain his majesty but was finally defeated by the little child crawling around his legs.

He leaned down and asked, “What are you doing?”

The child gave an innocent smile, raised his head and said, “Huahua, cat, hide and seek.”

“Who is Huahua?”

“Huahua is a cat. Grandpa Emperor, Xiaobao will play hide and seek with you, so please don’t scold father okay?”

“Who told you that Grandfather Emperor will scold your father?” Finding it a little difficult to bend over to continue speaking to Xiaobao, Emperor Hongjing carried him onto his lap.

. “Mother told me.”

Emperor Hongjing looked up and saw the calm Jin Wang. He casually asked, “What did your mother say?”

“Mother said, Grandfather Emperor is old. When Emperor Grandfather scolds father, father should just listen and not talk back. But Xiaobao doesn’t want you to scold father.”

Jin Wang couldn’t help tensing his face, resisting the urge to rush over and grab his son back. This little thing even pretended to sleep to hear what they were discussing. He thought to himself that if Xiaobao made a mess of this situation, he would properly discipline him when they return, even if she speaks up for him.

“Then why did your mother say that Grandpa Emperor will scold your father?”

With an ignorant look on his face, Xiaobao thought hard but appeared to remain confused. After a long period of reflection, he said, “That thankless job. And the people from the Ministry of Works are bad.”

Seeing that his grandson was still thinking hard, Emperor Hongjing suddenly laughed and touched his little head. “Xiaobao’s so smart, Grandpa Emperor won’t scold your father.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

“Then I’ll play hide and seek with you!” As soon as he finished his words, Xiaobao slipped down to the ground. Once he stood firmly on his feet, he started to yank Emperor Hongjing.

Anxious, Li Dequan fretted at the side. He wanted to stop him but didn’t dare to. “Little young master, His Majesty can’t play hide and seek with you. How about this old servant go find someone else to play with you?”
