Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating
Chapter 86: ~Fishing

Feeling that his crappy handwriting looked too shabby to be placed next to the “Yong” written by his cheap father, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but take out a new piece of rice paper from the side and held it in front of his cheap father like a dog.

“Father, please write a few more, Father.”

Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but feel comfortable when he heard this. He was very pleased. It was just a few big characters. Isn’t it easy to get it?

It’s just that the content is not what Ye Shuo wants –

“God rewards hard work.”

Okay, it’s to encourage him to be diligent and motivated.

Noticing that his son’s expression suddenly fell, Emperor Jingwen’s eyelids also twitched.

“Why, not satisfied?”

“No, no.” Ye Shuo blew hard at the big words in front of him, and when the ink dried, he rolled it up immediately.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll have it framed tomorrow and hang it above the bed!”

That’s about right.

Emperor Jingwen was finally satisfied.

Oh, I forgot to mention that when Emperor Jingwen saw Ye Shuo’s words just now, a thought flashed through his mind quickly, but he was interrupted by Ye Shuo, and Emperor Jingwen forgot what he wanted to ask just now.

Ye Shuo hadn’t expected that when his stepfather came over, Ye Shuo thought he would be exposed, so he asked Xing Yucheng to help him write his homework.

Who knew that my cheap dad didn’t even notice it, which is really cause for celebration.

But in fact, Xing Yucheng’s left-handed handwriting is that of a beginner, and it is also very bad. Since they are both equally bad, is there any need to distinguish how bad they are?

My eyes hurt just looking at it. Who would have the time to study this?

Haven’t you seen that every time the tutor checks the homework, he just glances at it hurriedly and then quickly closes it?

Ye Shuo’s laziness has not been discovered until now, and the difference in handwriting is a big reason for it.

This was the first time that Ye Shuo had been honest and quietly staying in one place to study for more than two hours.

It was almost time for lunch, and Ye Shuo took the opportunity to put on a pitiful look and looked at his old father: “Father, my hand hurts, let me rest in the afternoon.”

His hand hurts so much!

How many words did he write?

Emperor Jingwen was about to scold him without thinking, but as luck would have it, he happened to meet Ye Shuo’s eyes. Emperor Jingwen then realized that he was like an eggplant hit by frost, completely wilted and looking so pitiful.

Emperor Jingwen thought about it and felt that two hours was nothing for other princes, but it was indeed difficult for Xiaojiu. It was good enough that he could hold on without making a fuss.

Emperor Jingwen finally agreed after his heart softened.

The prince, who had to sit here for more than four hours a day, was silent.

He Xiang who was almost hoarse almost vomited blood when he heard this.

The Grand Tutor felt that they might have to work harder than the Ninth Prince.

On the surface it looked like seven to one, but in reality it was clearly one to seven.

This is like asking several professors from top universities to teach a child what 1+1 equals for the whole morning. This in itself is a torture.

What’s even more torturous is that I haven’t been taught yet.

However, Emperor Jingwen was the monarch and they were his subjects. When the monarch gave an order, the subjects had no choice but to obey.

Just thinking about the fact that they would have to live like this for nearly half a year, He Xiang and the others felt dark before their eyes. It felt like it was much more torturous than helping to handle government affairs.

“Thank you for your consideration, Father. I will take my leave now.”

After Ye Shuo finished speaking softly and weakly, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the door and turned around, Ye Shuo no longer looked listless. He looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his eyes burst into intense light.

Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi had been waiting outside for the whole morning. After all, they were not allowed to sit in on the discussion between the emperor and his ministers. Even the prince’s attendant Mo Shu and others were waiting outside.

As soon as he saw the two of them, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but said, “Quick, quick, go back and eat something. I’ll take you fishing in the afternoon!”

As soon as Ye Shuo opened his mouth, he immediately blocked the other two’s greetings.

The Ninth Prince looks so energetic, it seems that nothing is wrong.

“Fish? What fish?” Xing Yucheng, who came here for the first time, looked confused.

“Of course it’s the kind of fish that can be eaten!” Ye Shuo looked at his study partner with a little contempt.

“You’ve been here for three days, don’t you want to replace out what’s in the garden?”

Ye Shuo had heard early on that there was a particularly large lake in the garden. When he heard the word “lake”, his first reaction was that he could swim and fish there.

How can you not play in the water in the hot summer?

Xing Yucheng opened his mouth and wanted to say, who would first ask where there are fun places for no reason? Isn’t this just wasting time?

But when he thought that the person in front of him was the Ye Shuo, Xing Yucheng immediately shut his mouth.

Ye Shuo went back in a hurry and ate a few mouthfuls of rice hastily. Then he saw the manager of the garden personally bringing him the fishing rod he wanted.

Although ancient fishing rods are not as advanced as modern ones, especially the “thorn” on the fishhook, which is difficult to make with today’s technology, it actually doesn’t have much impact if the fish is small. As long as the nest is well-made, and the hook is lowered accurately, the fish can still be caught.

As for the bait nests, there are many people fishing in the garden, and these things are prepared in advance.

“The recipe is good, but it might be better if you add some brown sugar and wine yeast.” This recipe was shared with him by a wild fishing expert. Ye Shuo used it several times and found that the effect was indeed good.

Brown sugar…yeast…?

While the steward was stunned, Ye Shuo called Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi who had finished eating and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Concubine Rong couldn’t help but shout, “Shuo’er, the weather is so hot, why don’t you wait until the afternoon when it’s cooler before going out?”

It was noon and the sun was scorching. Concubine Rong was afraid that her son would be sunburned again.

Especially for those with tender skin, it would be bad if they get tanned.

But for anglers, the sun in June is nothing. They still have to fish even if it means they have to fish.

So Ye Shuo said: “No, mother, my father will only allow me to rest for a while. If I delay any longer, I won’t be able to finish it.”

“By the way, Sixth Brother, are you going?” Ye Shuo looked at the Sixth Prince who was silent beside him.

The Sixth Prince naturally shook his head.

Ye Shuo was not surprised at the other party’s answer, and without further persuasion, he left with Xing Yucheng and the others.

Concubine Rong had no choice but to let him go.

Ye Shuo knew that there were many people in the garden and naturally many people fishing, so he wanted to grab a spot early. However, what Ye Shuo never expected was that even though he was so fast, he still couldn’t get the best fishing spot.

There are already people under the shade of the best willow trees.

The man was about thirty years old, not much younger than my cheap dad, with bronze skin, who knows if it was from being tanned by the sun while fishing, but there was a 川-shaped wrinkle between his brows, and you could tell at first glance that he was a very serious person, and when his eyes looked at me, I couldn’t help but become solemn.

Because the other party was wearing casual clothes, Ye Shuo had no way of judging his identity. However, judging from the material of his clothes, he must be extremely wealthy, and maybe even a royal relative.

After all, most of the ministers who have this ability are still in Yuqianzhai.

I originally wanted to say hello to the other party. No matter who it is, we can get to know each other after chatting for a while. Besides, we all came here to fish, so we knew we were destined to be together.

But before Ye Shuo could force a smile, the other party had already turned his head away, as if he had no intention of paying attention to him.

Okay, now Ye Shuo is sure that the other party is a royal relative.

Looking down at the prince’s uniform that he had not had time to change out of, Ye Shuo was not embarrassed, nor did he disturb the other party. He found a place far away and sat down on the stool.

“Don’t just stand there, come and sit down.” After Xiao Luzi tied a tung oil umbrella to the tree to serve as a parasol, Ye Shuo also invited the two to sit down.

However, the two of them didn’t seem to be very interested in fishing. After sitting down, Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi took out their books to read at the same time.

There is nothing we can do. Since the master is not making progress, the only thing they, the servants/slaves, can do is work hard.

The water in this garden is alive and has never been fished on a large scale. The last time my cheap father brought a large group here was three or four years ago. Now that such a long time has passed, I guess the fish in the water should have multiplied a lot.

Afraid that he would have too much fish and no place to put them, Ye Shuo boldly brought several buckets with him.

The child is small in stature, but very greedy.

Seeing several wooden barrels lined up in a row, Prince Su couldn’t help but laugh. The fish in this lake are very cunning. How could they be so easily——

Before Prince Su could finish his thoughts, he heard a child’s slightly surprised voice coming from the side.

“Huh? You took the bait so quickly?”

I just sat down, it hasn’t even been two minutes, right?

Ye Shuo was stunned when he saw the goose feather that he had tied to the hanging line as a float moving. After he came to his senses, he slowly began to reel in the rod.

Prince Su still felt that it was not so easy for him to catch a fish. Maybe the hook was caught on something else in the water?

But soon, Prince Su watched helplessly as a fish weighing more than a pound was pulled out of the water by him.
