Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

Chapter 192.1

As Xiaobao said, Li Dequan did indeed agree.

However, Li Dequan had been forced by him to agree. It was not a good time for Xiaobao to be making a fuss about staying by the side of Emperor Hongjing. But Li Dequan knew that if the emperor was awake, he would definitely want his grandson to stay by his side.

Anyway, he could just assign more people to watch over Xiaobao.

Because they didnt want to arouse any unwanted suspicion, no one from Jin Wang Manor could stay by Xiaobaos side. Li Dequan had already mentioned this to Xiaobao earlier. However, considering Xiaobao was still young, he also explained it to Jin Wang. Jin Wang was hesitant, but Li Dequan assured him that Xiaobao would be safe. Only then did he agree. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

In the end, it was as if he was begging Jin Wang Manor to agree to this. Once Li Dequan came back to his senses, he couldnt help but sigh. But since everything had been settled, they could only proceed as planned.

Xiaobao entered the bed chamber, where Hui Wang and An Wang were watching over Emperor Hongjing by his side.

In fact, they had nothing to do. They only stared at each other as if they were monitoring each other and there were also a few people from Qianqing Palace standing by. This was a rare occurrence that happened once every few decades. It was as if the one lying there was not an ordinary person, but a treasure made of gold.

But it was not made of gold, it was the Son of Heaven.

Why is this little thing here? Hui Wang, who had no filter, successfully asked the question that An Wang also wanted to ask.

Li Dequan bowed, saying, The little imperial grandson is filial and said he wanted to come and serve His Majesty.

What can a little kid do to serve His Majesty? Is he here to cause trouble? Hui Wang gave Li Dequan a sidelong glance and said, Eunuch Li, did you make the decision on this? Can a servant like you make decisions on behalf of the emperor? Did Mother Empress agree to this? contemporary romance

An Wang looked at Hui Wang and thought to himself, who said this crown prince couldnt get things done? It was true that if the wall fell down, everyone would push it. However, it was also true that he was quite annoying. Hui Wang had been born with the status of Crown Prince, and he had been raised to be an arrogant and domineering character that didnt put anyone in his eyes.

Li Dequan smiled, showing no waves on his face, and still bowed, Your Highness Hui Wang, this old servant is indeed a servant and cannot make decisions on behalf of His Majesty. But inside and outside of Qianqing Palace, who doesnt know that His Majesty wants to see his grandson every day to have his meals and sleep peacefully? His Majestys grandson has this filial heart, and the imperial physicians also said that talking to the Emperor and doing things he likes will help him wake up sooner. So this old servant brought the little grandson here. Does Your Highness Hui Wang not want His Majesty to wake up soon?

How could Hui Wang dare to say he did not want Emperor Hongjing to awaken soon? Even if he had such thoughts, he wouldnt dare to show even a trace of them.

An Wang smiled as he looked at Hui Wang. It was said that there was no cure for stupidity. Arguing with Li Dequan, this old palace veteran, it was said that no one in the palace could win a single advantage from him. Unfortunately, Hui Wang was still so foolish to believe that as a prince, since the emperor was no longer capable, he could step on this old slave without suffering any consequences. He didnt even consider the possibility of hurting himself.

Hui Wang had a disgusted look on his face and wanted to say something but stopped.

An Wang spoke instead, If there is anything that can benefit the emperor and ensure his long and healthy life, benwang has no objections.

Your Highness An Wangs filial piety truly moves the heavens. If His Majesty were to know, he would surely be delighted.

The two of them were singing praises to each other, saying empty words, but it made Hui Wang feel sick. He stood up and threw out a quick excuse of leaving for the washroom before departing.

Xiaobao pulled Li Dequans robe and dragged him outside. Eunuch Li, its my fault that my imperial uncle scolded you. Ive caused trouble for you.

Li Dequan saw his cute little face and patted his head, smiling. Its not a big deal. Your filial piety is admirable. This old servant will help you whenever I can.

But still, thank you, Eunuch Li.

Looking at such a little child, ones heart would inevitably soften. Li Dequan felt this way, but he didnt show any exaggerated emotions. He lightly pushed Xiaobaos shoulder and said, Imperial grandson, you should go inside.

Xiaobao nodded.

The bedroom smelled strongly of medicine, and bright yellow curtains hung low around the room.

Emperor Hongjing lay on the huge dragon bed. His majestic presence was unexpectedly mixed with a sense of fragility. His face was somewhat pale, but his neat gray beard added a bit of vitality to him instead of making him look lifeless.

Xiaobao walked up and carefully observed him.

An Wang seemed relaxed, but he had his eyes fixed on Xiaobao. Despite his agreement with Li Dequan, no matter who appeared at Emperor Hongjings side, the person would inevitably attract the attention of many people.

Even if the person was just a three-year-old child.

Xiaobao seemed unaware of all of this as he sat down on the foot of the dragon bed. He held a book in his hand, which happened to be the Classic of Filial Piety.

He had just started studying this book.

Xiaobao spread out the book, put it on his lap, and said to Emperor Hongjing, Grandfather Emperor, Xiaobao will read to you. Then he began to read.

At the house of Zhongni, served by disciple Zengzi, Confucius said, The ancient kings had the highest virtues and important principles, which was to obey the world, to maintain harmony among the people, and to have no grievances between those above and below. If one knew

He recited it very smoothly, showing that he had memorized it, which surprised An Wang. This was the first time An Wang faced the clever and intelligent eldest young master of Jin Wang Manor head-on. Where was the so-called intelligence and brilliancy? This was clearly all hearsay!

However, it should be noted that Xiaobao was only three years old, yet he could already recite the text with such proficiency.

Establish yourself, follow the right path, and become famous for generations to come, in order to honour your parents and be filial. Filial piety begins with serving your parents, extends to serving your ruler, and ends with establishing yourself. The Book of Poetry says, Do not forget your ancestors, and work hard to cultivate your virtues'

The childs immature voice echoed in the magnificent bedroom, causing the previous depressing atmosphere to gain some vitality.

Li Dequan was immensely gratified as he watched from the side, feeling that the decision to have the young imperial grandson attend to His Majesty was not bad.

Xiaobao finished reciting the entire Classic of Filial Piety before taking a break.

Li Dequan brought a cup of water for him to drink and rest for a while, but Xiaobao refused.

Even if I didnt come to attend to Grandfather Emperor today, I would still have studied. Now that Ive recited it to Grandfather Emperor and learned something myself, its a win-win situation. You dont have to worry about me, Eunuch Li. If I get tired, Ill tell you.

If Your Highness gets tired, you must let this servant know.
