Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 333: Participation



From letting the empress sister-in-law govern the country when his brother left the capital, to conferring the title of Marquis of Jing’an against all odds, to the incident in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and finally the emperor’s sister-in-law Liu coming out of seclusion.

My own sister-in-law, three nieces, an old minister who kept giving birth to almost crazy children, and an indifferent and calm brother…

Jianjian, who thought she knew very well how rebellious her brother could be, had a bold idea flash through her mind.

Wait, he doesn’t mean…

Jianjian’s heart was pounding wildly. She could no longer control herself and almost instinctively wanted to verify it.

When Jianjian grew up, she looked almost exactly like the former Concubine Rong. She was not the shy type at all. She did what she said and she handed over the card directly and went straight to the palace.

After all, they were siblings from the same mother. In the entire Great Zhou, they were the only ones who were truly a family. Jianjian didn’t think that given her relationship with her brother, she needed to beat around the bush with him, so after sending away other idlers, she asked directly.

When she saw that her brother’s face was filled with shock at first, and then he looked her up and down with a curious look of “Oh my God, you actually guessed it, you really have grown up”, Jianjian didn’t have time to be shocked by the answer before she felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.

“…Royal brother, what do you mean by this?” Could it be that she had guessed that this answer would be something that was difficult for the royal brother to understand?

Jianjian had a blank expression on her face, feeling offended.

Seeing that his sister seemed to be furious, Ye Shuo did not try to comfort her. Instead, he spread his hands and said innocently: “I don’t mean anything else. I just think it’s very novel. You should know that when you were young, you were very simple-minded. Basically, you believed everything I said.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thinking of his childhood, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but touch his chin, feeling quite nostalgic.

“I remember that I didn’t like going to the study room at that time, and you helped me write the homework assigned by the master…”

With a dull “dong” sound, Ye Shuo realised that the table in front of him, which was made of very solid materials and was considered to be the most sophisticated and sturdy in the entire Da Zhou, seemed to have a crack. After thinking about it, he finally decided to shut his mouth.

Although Jianjian’s kung fu is far inferior to his own, she has an ultimate trick – tell the parents. Even Ye Shuo can’t stand it.

“How dare you say that? It’s obviously you—”

She gets angry whenever he mentions her past, especially in recent years. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels that her brother is useless.

Jianjian clenched her fists subconsciously, but then she quickly calmed down: “Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this.”

Unlike her brother who is always out of tune, Jianjian is always thinking about serious matters. Although she has talked it out now, she still has some resentment in her heart.

“Why don’t you just tell me directly? Why go through so much trouble?” Judging from herself, Jianjian didn’t think that her brother would keep anything from her. And as long as he needed something, it would be impossible for her to refuse out of habit.

Could it be that the emperor brother felt that this matter was dangerous, so he didn’t want to let herself get involved? If that was the case… Thinking of this, Jianjian couldn’t help but feel a little touched.

However, this feeling of being moved only lasted for a blink of an eye. Almost instantly, Ye Shuo’s slightly surprised voice came over.

“What makes you think that?”

“High risks are bound to be accompanied by high returns. I think this is something that every prince and princess should know from birth.”

Although there were some words in the sentence that Jianjian had never heard before, she had gotten used to him saying some sentences that she couldn’t understand from time to time. After a long time, she could guess most of what he meant.

After understanding what he meant, she expressionlessly extinguished the small flame in her heart. Jianjian took a deep breath, and after regaining consciousness, she raised her head and looked back with a frown.

Ye Shuo did not let her down, and quickly replied with a smile: “Although there are few people who share the same ideals as me, I would rather have nothing than something less than perfect.”

The more important the matter is, the more you should not be anxious or careless, otherwise you will be held back by your teammates.

“I don’t want just anyone.” Just like Jianjian, who seemed smart but naive two years ago, was not very good in his opinion. Fortunately, after two years of experience, she has grown a lot now. Well, she is barely qualified.

Noticing that her brother seemed to have recalled something and a flash of undisguised disgust appeared in his eyes, Jianjian felt like a fool for worrying about him just now.

No matter how many years have passed, my brother’s ability to make people angry to death remains unchanged.

However, Jianjian not only could not be angry with him, but she had to rush to join her brother’s plan. Thinking of this, Jianjian became even angrier.

Damn it!

My brother is really bad, but he has the ability to make them rush to him for help. It has been like this since they were young, and now no one can escape, including my father.

It’s not that Jianjian has any masochistic tendencies and has to take the lead, but in the past two years, Jianjian has experienced almost all the difficulties in managing Shangjing with the empress sister-in-law.

The cold words that the clan members in the Hall of Supreme Harmony said to the three princesses were just the tip of the iceberg. Jianjian was mainly responsible for cleaning up those with ulterior motives, so she was naturally very well-informed. She had heard countless ugly words in the past two years, and the situations she encountered were only more embarrassing than those of the three princesses. This made the flame that had arisen in Jianjian’s heart burn all the time.

Let Jianjian, who was brought up like a prince since childhood, get married and have children like other princesses, be used by the superiors to win over court officials and have no power to resist, and spend her whole life in the palace. This is even more painful for her than killing her.

The more she wakes up, the more pain Jianjian feels. It was not obvious when she was young, but by the time she grew up, the spark had already spread all over the prairie. Even if it means paying a heavy price, she is unwilling to spend her life in ignorance and muddle-headedness.

The more Jianjian thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

Now that she finally saw hope, Jian Jian naturally didn’t want to let it go. She took a deep breath and asked straightforwardly, “Brother emperor, what do you need me to do?”

Looking at his sister who was full of energy, even Ye Shuo was shocked by her enthusiasm and passion. A drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead. Ye Shuo really couldn’t make up his mind for a while.  

After all, he only has this one sister. If anything goes wrong, even if Jianjian is willing, his mother will most likely chop him to pieces.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Jianjian suddenly started to perform exceptionally well at the critical moment, and her brain became unusually flexible.

“Generally speaking, you are not such an indecisive person, unless the situation is special.”

Jianjian narrowed her eyes: “Is it dangerous?”

Although it was a question, Jianjian’s attitude was affirmative.

Combined with the two conditions that had recently happened but were very dangerous… Jianjian suddenly had an idea: “Brother, is your big ship still in need of a leader?”

Ye Shuo felt that Jianjian’s sudden enlightenment was truly remarkable.

Noticing the change in his expression, Jianjian knew that she had guessed right.

“Okay, then this is it.” Jianjian made the decision decisively.

Now it was Ye Shuo who wanted to regret it. This was too hasty. Would this really work?

“Why don’t you… reconsider it? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. This matter is of great importance and must not be missed, even if you are my sister.” At the end, Ye Shuo became serious and even changed his way of addressing himself.

Jianjian made a rough calculation. Although she didn’t know much about going to sea now, there was still at least a year before the ship was built, so she had enough time to prepare.

It’s not that Jianjian is arrogant. She is inherently smarter than ordinary people. This is an indisputable fact, as can be seen from the regrets expressed by her father and the Grand Tutor back then. This means that as long as she studies hard, there are few things that can stump her.

Jian Jian couldn’t help but let out a long breath: “High risks come with high rewards, you just said this yourself, my brother.”

Since the emperor, who always liked to joke, was on high alert, Jianjian was almost certain that there must be treasures beyond imagination overseas.

“Brother, do you already know what’s out there?”

This girl is really too sensitive today.

Ye Shuo paused, then nodded imperceptibly and said softly: “If it succeeds, it can bring peace to the world. Such an achievement will ensure that your name will go down in history and you will have no worries in your life.”

This can definitely be regarded as the biggest golden finger since he came here.

Ye Shuo had already compiled everything he knew into a book, which was guaranteed to be detailed and clear. All that was left was to go to the designated place and retrieve the designated items.

As soon as the words fell, Jianjian couldn’t help but gasp, and her blood instantly boiled over.

If so, what else is there to consider?!

This credit cannot be taken away by any other biological child, and the emperor actually loves her the most.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Fearing that such a good opportunity would be snatched away by others, Jianjian knelt on both knees and performed the etiquette of a subject: “I hope that my royal brother will allow me to go overseas and bring back the lost things of my Great Zhou.”

Ye Shuo didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse to let Jianjian receive the upbringing like a prince, or whether it might be better for her to live her life in ignorance like those princesses in the past. But Jianjian herself had no judgement at that time, and Ye Shuo was just leading her onto the right path that he believed was right.

Whether you regret it or not, we can only wait until the future to find out.

At the moment, Ye Shuo was just being extremely cautious and said in a deep voice, “Okay.”

Jianjian breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

The next moment, Ye Shuo turned back to his frivolous look and came closer, not disguising his eagerness to watch the fun, and whispered, “But my agreement alone is not enough. Have you thought about what to say to the Queen Mother?”

The smile on Jianjian’s face froze instantly.

“Hmph, there’s no need for you to worry about this, my brother.” After being fooled for so many years, Jianjian decided to fight back.

If it were usual, Ye Shuo would not have taken Jian Jian’s threat seriously, but this time…

Seeing Jianjian was nervous at first, and then suddenly laughed out of nowhere, Ye Shuo had an inexplicable ominous premonition.

Facts have proved that Ye Shuo’s premonition was correct. Two days later, under Yao Zhi’s meaningful and amusement-filled expression, Ye Shuo, who had finally had some free time and was sitting in a recliner drinking tea, was suddenly called over by his mother.

Empress Dowager He was busy, Jianjian was busy too, not to mention the Queen, who had been very busy all the time. When Jianjian reminded her, Empress Dowager Wei suddenly realised that she was the only idle person in the entire palace.

Although Queen Mother Wei did not know what these people were plotting, her intuition as a mother made her aware of something unusual, so she felt very involved and looked at her son with anticipation.

Could it be that she couldn’t help at all?

Ye Shuo broke out in a cold sweat almost instantly.
