Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 213: Ascension to the throne
"Wei Songlin is married now, so I think he has calmed down a lot. Will he return to the capital?"

"No, I think he is happy in the frontier and may not return to Beijing for ten or eight years."

Ji Anyu couldn't help laughing and was about to make a joke when he saw his daughter crawling in.

"Does An Zhao miss his mother?"

Shen Anzhao looked up and saw his mother looking at him and smiling. He couldn't help but giggle. He stretched out his chubby arms for his mother to hold him, and shouted incoherently: "Ah, mother..."

Ji Anyu walked over and was about to bend down to hug Shen Anzhao, but Shen Jing took the lead and picked up Shen Anzhao.

"My wife is pregnant, and An Zhao is heavy now, so I will hold her."

Shen Anzhao didn't understand what her father said. When she saw the smile in his eyes, she felt that he was making fun of her. She immediately twisted her body in displeasure to express her dissatisfaction.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa…”

"Pfft, what are you talking about." Shen Jing smiled and kissed Shen Anzhao's round face, "Anzhao, call me daddy."

"Dede ah ah ah..." Shen Anzhao looked at his father's handsome face for a while, then turned his head and reached out to Ji Anyu for a hug. Daddy was too hard, not as sweet and soft as mother.

Seeing this, Shen Jing doted on Shen Anzhao's forehead and said, "Daddy is so good to you, but you turn around and don't want him anymore."

Shen Anzhao didn't care about Shen Jing's jealousy and continued to babble at Ji Anyu.

Seeing that Shen Anzhao was about to cry, Ji Anyu sat on the bed with a smile, patted the bed board, and signaled Shen Jing to put Shen Anzhao up.

As soon as Shen Anzhao's feet touched the bed board, he couldn't wait to pounce on Ji Anyu before he could even stand firmly. Shen Jing quickly grabbed Shen Anzhao's stomach to prevent Shen Anzhao from hitting Ji Anyu's stomach.

"Little ancestor, why are you in such a hurry? Your mother is always here."

Shen Anzhao leaned in Ji Anyu's arms as he wished, as quiet as a porcelain doll, which made Shen Jing jealous.

"My daughter, Shen Jing, is the best child in the world."

Ji Anyu lowered her head and gently pinched Shen Anzhao's face lovingly.

My daughter looks like her father. I think she will be a beauty when she grows up.

……

The melon was ripe and fell to the ground. Ji Anyu gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in spring.

Shen Anzhao comes to play with her younger brother every day. She wishes her younger brother could walk immediately, run with her, dance with her, and be her little follower.

Seeing Shen Anzhao's chubby face getting bigger day by day, Shen Jing was worried that Shen Anzhao would be abducted by another man. Taking advantage of Shen Anzhao's young age, Shen Jing often accompanied Shen Anzhao and taught him to read and write.

At a young age, Shen Anzhao had already learned most of Shen Jing's temperament.

"Ah Jing, don't spoil her anymore. She's almost lawless." Ji Anyu felt a headache when she saw the ruler on the table broken into three pieces. "She broke the master's ruler again today."

Shen Jing didn't take it seriously, instead she said happily, "You are worthy of being my daughter, Shen Jing. It doesn't matter if the ruler is broken. I can just get a new one. Don't worry, ma'am."

Seeing that Shen Jing didn't take her words to heart, Ji Anyu's mouth twitched helplessly.

"You should take care of her. Shen Anzhao takes the second child everywhere every day, and the harem has been turned upside down by them."

Shen Jing's eyebrows twitched, thinking that his wife was exaggerating. Until the emperor's beard was cut off in half by Shen Anzhao, he hurried to the imperial study to save Shen Anzhao.

"Now you are here, look at the good children you have taught!" The emperor was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

Hearing this, Shen Jing glanced at Shen Anzhao and Shen Linli. He saw that Shen Linli had tears in his eyes and a black turtle painted on his face, while Shen Anzhao had a fair face with an innocent and aggrieved look.

Shen Jing suppressed his laughter and moved his gaze to the emperor's beard.

"I will take An Zhao and Lin Li back to the East Palace and discipline them properly."

The emperor saw Shen Jing holding one child in each hand.

"Wait, I have something else to say."

Shen Jing looked at the emperor in confusion, "Is there something wrong, father?"

"Ah Jing, you are now the crown prince and have a legitimate son. I know you are resentful and don't want to change your surname, but Lin Li can't follow your surname Shen, right?"

Seeing Shen Jing's calm face, the emperor widened his eyes and said firmly, "I don't care. From now on, Lin Li will not be surnamed Shen. You must take my surname Shen. Otherwise, don't even think about becoming the emperor."

Shen Jing was about to retort when his eyes fell on the emperor's white hair. He said "I know" and left with the child. "You..." The emperor didn't react at all. When the people were far away, he finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

"Lin Li is a smart kid. Bring him to the Imperial Study and I will teach him myself."

Shen Jing doesn't want his son to go to school with the emperor. The emperor has turned Shen Yuxian into a fool. Who would dare to let the emperor teach their child?

He handed over half of his official duties to the emperor and focused on educating his children.

The emperor then realized that Shen Jing had done a lot of work behind his back, and it was a bit overwhelmed for an old man like him to take over all of this, so he had to swallow his pride and run to ask the queen for help.

But the queen kept talking about irrelevant things and just pretended to be stupid and didn't respond to him.

The emperor endured the pain all over his body and worked for more than three years, but finally he could not hold on any longer.

"Ah Jing, I quit! I will abdicate immediately and you will be the emperor."

Shen Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Father, you are reluctant to give up the throne, aren't you? I see that you are still strong and healthy, and you can be the emperor for another ten or eight years."

"I am willing to accept my old age. I have thought it through. Instead of clinging to the throne and making myself uncomfortable, it is better to give you the throne. Although you are young, you are good at governing the country. I am relieved."

The emperor was worried that Shen Jing would refuse to do the job, so he just left with the abdication decree.

Shen Jing unfolded the abdication edict and saw his name on it, which gave him a sly smile.

After waiting for so many years, this day has finally come.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the harem became extremely busy. Everyone walked briskly, fearing that they would be slow or make a mistake.

When Shen Anzhao saw that his mother had changed into several beautiful phoenix robes, he couldn't help but applaud.

"Mom is so beautiful!"

"Does it look good? But it's tiring, the robe is too heavy."

Shen Anzhao didn't understand why the robe was heavy. Anyway, she felt that the robe she was wearing was not heavy, but light and soft.

Ji Anyu looked through the bronze mirror and saw her daughter tilting her head to look at her.

"An Zhao, we're moving in a few days, are you happy?"

Shen Anzhao pouted and shook his head, "Mother, why are we moving? I like it here."

"Because your father is going to be the emperor, this is the East Palace, where the prince lives."

"Then can I come back to the East Palace again?"

"of course can."

Shen Anzhao's frown instantly relaxed, and she ran out cheering and pulled her brother who came to find their mother to pick some fruit.

"Sister, are the fruits on the trees ripe?"

Little Linli stood under the tree, looking eagerly at her sister as she climbed the tree.

"Be careful, sis."

Shen Anzhao climbed up the tree swiftly, picked a few fruits and threw them to Xiao Linli.

"Brother, it's cooked. Take a bite and see if it's sweet."

Xiao Linli smiled foolishly, picked up a half-yellow, half-green fruit, took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with sour juice.

"Pah, sis, it's so sour! I can't eat it."

Seeing his brother's wrinkled features, Shen Anzhao couldn't help but laugh, "Silly boy, I told you to eat and you ate, stupid!"

"Sister, I'm not stupid. My grandfather even praised me for being smart."

Shen Jing came to look for his children and saw Shen Anzhao tricking Xiao Linli from a distance. He chuckled for a while before walking over to help his children change their clothes and then go to the court together.

"Let's go, follow Dad to court."

Xiao Linli was reluctant to put down the fruits her sister had picked from the tree, so she followed Shen Jing, grabbing a fruit in each hand, and witnessed Shen Jing ascend the throne and Ji Anyu being crowned queen.
