The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

After the Emperor spoke those words, Prince Kang couldn’t hold back his tears any longer.

”I’m sorry, brother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Prince Kang choked with emotion, ”I was too foolish, I failed you all.”

”Stop crying, don’t do this anymore.” The Emperor patted Prince Kang’s shoulder again.

”But, there is no future now, the Princess no longer likes me and won’t forgive me.” Prince Kang said in despair.

”It proves that your fates have ended. You will meet someone better suited to you.” The Emperor consoled him sincerely again, ”Your life is still long, now is the time to let go. However, it will take time.”

Prince Kang sniffled, saying nothing.

”Alright, don’t cry. If the Empress Dowager sees, she’ll think I bullied you. Go back and rest well for a while, I’ll wait for you to recover and help me with governmental affairs.” The Emperor reached out and wiped Prince Kang’s tears with his finger.

Feeling the warmth from the Emperor’s fingertips, Prince Kang wanted to cry again.

Brother is so kind, brother is the best brother in the world.

When Prince Kang left, he took with him a large bounty from the Emperor.

The Emperor stood in front of the desk, pretended to sigh: ”Bullying human children isn’t quite right. Will Miao blame me when she regains her memory?”

...

Thus, although Prince Kang and the Princess did not officially separate, they lived their own lives independently. But saying so isn’t entirely correct. Prince Kang still visited the Princess in the back courtyard every month, still sent silver to her, bought her gifts. However, their interactions felt more like those between friends.

Sometimes, they would sit down calmly to play chess together, go hunting together, or feed the koi in the pond to fatten them.

The Emperor also no longer blatantly tried to put a green hat on Prince Kang as he had in the past. Every time he rewarded something, he would give two identical sets, one to Prince Kang, and one to the Princess.

Later on, Prince Kang married two concubines and even had several children. But he still placed the Princess first.

Time flew by, the Princess passed away, and the Emperor also passed away.

The one who ascended the throne was the Crown Prince appointed by the Emperor long ago.

The new Emperor was full of mixed emotions upon ascending the throne.

He was finally the Emperor of Great Zhou Country! And then, some sort of immortal occupied his body, and he watched the fantastic actions of this immortal the entire time. Initially, he thought it was a ghost, but later awe made him believe it was certainly an immortal from somewhere.

He watched the immortal bully his silly brother, attempt to put a green hat on his silly brother’s head, and discovered that the Princess was no longer the original Princess.

Especially seeing this immortal attempt to shame his brother but backfire, causing his brother to cry emotionally, it was truly... indescribable.

Later, he reincarnated. This description isn’t entirely accurate because he became the silly son of Lady De. Lady De gave birth to a silly son who was always muddle-headed, whom he had despised greatly before. As a result, he became this silly son, and to others, he became a clever Prince.

The Emperor liked him very much and made him the Crown Prince.

Then the Emperor passed away, and he ascended the throne.

He became the Emperor once more.

His concubine became his mother, and his brother became his Imperial Uncle.

The immortal governed Great Zhou Country very well, increasing the national power by at least threefold compared to before. The country was peaceful, the military strong and well-equipped. After taking over, he could sleep comfortably until death. He could easily continue being Emperor for decades.

Thinking about it, it seemed like he gained something?

One day after court, he kept Prince Kang behind alone.

”Emperor?” Prince Kang, whose temples had turned white, looked at the Emperor staring complexly at him, confused.

”Imperial Uncle, do not easily make promises in the future. Do not make promises you cannot fulfill. Also, people will face many temptations, but you must resist those temptations. Oh, and please be more mindful.” After saying these heartfelt words, the Emperor dismissed Prince Kang.

Prince Kang was utterly puzzled. What was the Emperor doing? What did these words mean? Could it be that he had made some mistake recently? It shouldn’t have been! Wasn’t he diligently attending court and managing affairs?

The Emperor slowly walked back to the study, sighed, and felt relieved to finally speak of the reprimand delayed for so many years.

...

Tianmiao’s face fell as she looked at the message from the Heavenly Dao.

This time the task not only resulted in no performance but also deducted from her overall performance!

Saying she cheated!

Who was it?

Who was causing trouble?

If she finds out who is causing trouble, she’ll definitely smash their head!

Tianmiao directly contacted the Heavenly Dao.

”Father, who is causing trouble? Who entered my task world and helped me complete the task?” Tianmiao asked with a dark face.

”I can’t find out. Anyway, you cheated, and it’s imperative to deduct performance.” The Heavenly Dao said cheerfully.

”You seem very happy?” Tianmiao asked in a dangerous tone.

”No, how could I? Boohoo, daughter, when such things happen, father’s heart is also troubled. But, father can’t play favorites. We must act strictly according to rules and regulations.” The Heavenly Dao feigned lamentation, expressing his deep sorrow, if one overlooked the sparkle in his eyes.

Tianmiao stared at the Heavenly Dao for a while without speaking, her gaze full of killing intent.

The Heavenly Dao nervously cut off the connection: ”Dear daughter, keep at it. Father has important matters, I’m hanging up now.” The Heavenly Dao disconnected the contact before Tianmiao could reply.

When the screen went black, the Heavenly Dao laughed heartily three times.

Hahaha!

Jun Yan, just you wait!

If Miao doesn’t clobber you in the future, I’ll take your surname.

Do you think it’s so easy to steal my precious cabbage?
