Chapter 110 Convincing the Crown Prince
Upon hearing this, the crown prince felt a pang of envy. Was this the relationship between father and son in an ordinary family?
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince's eyes dimmed again. After all, he and his father, the Emperor, were not ordinary father and son. He could not do that, and his father would not allow him to do so.
Looking at the Crown Prince's somewhat dim eyes, Jia Hu felt helpless. He had already explained it all, and the Crown Prince still didn't understand!
Jia Hu actually knew that the Crown Prince harbored resentment towards the Emperor, after all, the Emperor would always have some reservations about whose father was the Emperor.
Even though he was the emperor, he was still a father, and according to the intelligence he had gathered, the emperor had always been very fond of the crown prince.
It can be said that even if a child is raised by your side from childhood and is your own biological child, that child is still special.
Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, Jia Hu scratched his cheek and continued:
“I once secretly asked my grandfather if he didn’t find my father annoying. I also said that my father is so old, but he’s more childish than me.”
Does Your Highness know what my grandfather said?
The prince regained his composure and asked curiously:
"What did the Duke of Rong say?"
He was actually very curious.
Jia Hu laughed and said:
“My grandfather said he could sense that my father sometimes did this to make him happy.”
What is this called? Yes, it's called "entertaining one's parents in colorful clothes," which shows the father's filial piety.
They said I'm too young to understand, and that I'll understand when I have children.
"Your Highness, you are also a father, do you understand my grandfather's words?"
The Crown Prince was stunned. He remembered that he was also very naughty and loved to act spoiled when he was a child. His father, the Emperor, would not scold him but would happily ask him what was wrong and would fulfill all his requests.
Later, when I grew up, I realized that was wrong and learned to disguise myself perfectly.
Could it be that Father Emperor also hopes I'll occasionally throw a tantrum?
But he was the crown prince, and his father, the emperor, had always told him to work hard and become the perfect crown prince in everyone's eyes.
Before the Crown Prince could answer, Jia Hu pressed on, saying:
"I was very puzzled, so I went to ask my master. After listening, my master laughed and said, 'That's how adults are. They're afraid their children won't live up to their potential, but if their children are too perfect, they're afraid their children won't be close to them.'"
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince was filled with turmoil. Could it be that way?
Is it because I've grown up and become less close to my father that our father-son relationship is now strained?
Zhang Heming's eyes lit up as he looked at Jia Hu with satisfaction, having witnessed everything over the years.
He knew that the Crown Prince was growing up too fast and becoming too perfect, which made the Emperor uncomfortable. However, they were not only ruler and subject but also father and son, and this relationship could not withstand suspicion and estrangement.
Unexpectedly, his own grandson also discovered this matter and instead came to comfort the crown prince.
They couldn't say these words aloud, not even if he was the Crown Prince's teacher. They could only hint at them indirectly. But now that Hu'er was speaking directly in a child's words, that was the best thing to do.
Seeing the change in the Crown Prince's expression, Jia Hu knew he had taken the words to heart, and with satisfaction, continued:
"I asked my master again, 'Isn't it good for a child to become perfect? Don't adults all want their children to become perfect, mature, and amazing?'"
"Does Your Highness wish to know what my master said?"
The crown prince nodded blankly, and Jia Hu pretended to be puzzled and said:
“I didn’t really understand, but I can explain it to you. My master said that when children can stand on their own, adults often feel that they are no longer needed, that they have lost control, and that they are getting old. And no one wants to get old.”
The Crown Prince suddenly hugged Jia Hu tightly. He understood! He understood everything! Why his relationship with his father, the Emperor, had gradually drifted apart.
He always felt that his father was getting old, and as the crown prince, he should take on responsibilities.
But he didn't consider the feeling that the emperor was getting old and that his children were becoming increasingly out of control. Father Emperor is the emperor!
Will the Emperor feel that it is his own growth that has made him grow old, and that he himself, despite not understanding many things, has had to pretend to handle things perfectly and efficiently all these years?
He originally intended to please his father, but he often found that his father was not satisfied. He had thought that his father was dissatisfied with the results he had achieved, but now it seemed that was not the case. Thinking about how the relationship between father and son was growing more and more distant, he wondered if he had been doing something wrong all along.
Situ Yi stared directly at Jia Hu. This child must be a monster in disguise, otherwise he couldn't possibly say these things. This is definitely not something a child could say.
Situ Yi was determined to tell his elder brother, the Crown Prince, about what had happened today. Although Jia Hu was doing things that were beneficial to the Crown Prince, no one could guarantee that Jia Hu would not do things that were detrimental to the Crown Prince in the future. Years of living in the palace had taught Situ Yi that he could not easily trust anyone.
Here it comes again, those burning eyes again. Jia Hu was being held by the Crown Prince and couldn't break free for a moment, so he could only look around. That's when he noticed that it was the Twelfth Prince, Situ Yi, who had been staring at him.
Why was Situ Yi looking at me like that? It was really inexplicable.
Jia Hu thought for a moment and then went to search through the database. After searching and searching, something was wrong! Why couldn't he find this person?
Jia Hu was shocked. This was the first time he had ever discovered that, in the past, no matter how important or minor a person was, they could all be found out. Even if someone was just a name, they could still be found out.
Why doesn't this person even have a name? Where did he come from? Could he be from that world Xiao Yisi mentioned? Has he already started making moves and sending people here? That shouldn't be the case, right?
Normally, the story hasn't even started yet, and the main character hasn't even been born. What's the point of coming out so early?
Jia Hu's vigilance towards Situ Yi reached its highest level. This man was problematic, and he must keep a close eye on him from now on, and absolutely not allow him to ruin his important plans.
The crown prince had calmed down considerably by this time, and holding Jia Hu, he said:
"Hu'er has really solved the problem. The doubt that has troubled me for so long has turned out to be that I had completely misunderstood. If it weren't for Hu'er, I'm afraid I would still be going my own way."
Jia Hu smiled blankly, touched his cheek, and said with a smile:
"I didn't do anything. I thought His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't like to hear about my family matters."
His Highness the Crown Prince laughed heartily, patted his head, and said:
“If it weren’t for the fact that you are still too young, I would really like to take you into the palace.”
Jia Hu immediately became wary of anyone showing their face and said:
"Your Highness must keep your word. I can't go; I have to stay home."
His Highness the Crown Prince looked at Jia Hu, who was peeking out warily like a kitten, and laughed even more heartily, patting his head and saying:
"I didn't say that. I just wanted to take you in as my godson, so we could become relatives, okay?"
Jia She, who had just felt ashamed of having his past exposed by his son, was unwilling to accept it. This man was indeed here to take his son away from him.
No! He wouldn't agree! Even His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't take away his precious son.
Jia Hu was shocked. He had just latched onto another powerful figure. If the Crown Prince's position was secure, he would definitely become the Emperor in the future. As his adopted son, he should be able to get a title of King or something, or at the very least, a Prince of the County.
Zhang Heming and Zhang Zhiyuan agreed with this, as it would elevate Hu'er's status and position.
The young prince excitedly rushed over, hugged Jia Hu, and said, "Please agree! From now on, I'll be your sworn brother."
Jia Hu looked at his maternal grandfather.
