My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 481: 481 is resolved

It is often said that a crying child is the one that gets fed, and Prince Jing had been the epitome of a troublesome child from a young age.

Capable of fighting, causing disruptions, running, and jumping, he had worried his parents since he was little, and eventually, he won his way into their hearts.

Thus, not only was Prince Jing the darling of the Empress, but he was also the apple of the old Emperor’s eye.

While other princes at his age still bore the title of Prince, merely to wait for the Crowning of the Crown Prince, to show the latter’s grace upon his ascension.

Prince Jing alone was granted the title of Prince as soon as he came of age and his eldest son was named the Princely Heir immediately upon his birth.

Otherwise, who else but him would dare to behave so carelessly in front of the old Emperor?

No sooner had Prince Jing finished speaking than the old Emperor threw a memorial at him, "See for yourself!"

The son was his treasure, yet also a troublemaker. In the past, when he arranged a marriage with the Liu Family, apart from needing the Liu Family’s silver to support the national treasury, he also thought of providing him with a wealthy family in-law to support the Crown Prince so that the brothers could support each other in the future.

But now it seemed that the decision made back then was a huge mistake!

Over the years, the Liu Family, having become royal in-laws, had indeed become somewhat arrogant.

Prince Jing picked up the memorial and glanced over it briefly, his face revealing a complex expression as he looked up.

Then he erupted in fury, "Wang Zhengdong, that old man, is definitely taking revenge on me because of my second brother’s issue. He takes advantage of the weak, that old man dares not offend Sikong Mo, but targets me for bullying because he sees me as an easy target."

"Easy target?" The old Emperor rolled his eyes at Prince Jing.

In his mind, he recalled how, back then, Wang Zhengdong’s son flattered the second Prince and used Prince Jing as a stepping stone, belittling Prince Jing as having no merit.

At that time, the lad had acted coolly, turned around, and caught Wang Zhengdong’s son, poured a bucket of manure over him, and remarked that now he was truly spouting filth.

What could the old Emperor do but console the victim’s father by promoting him, unable to punish his beloved son for such antics?

It could be said that Wang Zhengdong’s current position as Minister of Revenue had much to do with Prince Jing’s efforts.

Returning to the matter at hand, the old Emperor said, "I had already given you time to deal with the Liu family matter, yet you showed no remorse and dared to use stolen Soap Formula as a birthday gift for your mother, which is simply outrageous."

The matter of the Soap Formula had been revealed by Sikong Mo many days before, and now Wang Zhengdong was using it to cause trouble, clearly aiming to ruin the Empress’s birthday and add to Prince Jing’s troubles.

Little did Wang Zhengdong know, he was also adding to the old Emperor’s troubles.

Prince Jing was notorious for his misconduct and was also the son who was most scolded by the old Emperor. There’s a saying, hits are affection and scolding is love, many people thought the old Emperor did not favor this son, but it was only because of the Crown Prince and the Empress that he could act so wildly.

In fact, few knew that not even the Crown Prince had as much favor with the old Emperor as Prince Jing did.

"I had sorted this matter out long before. It’s Wang Zhengdong who’s poking his nose into others’ business. What ’forcibly seizing a Soap Formula?’ The victim didn’t even complain, and yet this unrelated man is jumping around over this!" said Prince Jing.

"Sorted out? I would indeed like to know how you sorted it out!" the old Emperor spoke.

...

Prince Jing walked out of the study, his expression revealing a touch of complexity.

Though the matter of the Soap Formula was perfectly resolved, it left a bad taste in his heart.
