The ‘little crown prince’ didn’t know whether or not every mother was the same as his imperial mother, but since his imperial mother cared about this problem, then he certainly will remember in his heart. Moreover, he also for the most part knew how his imperial mother treated feelings, and her husband. That’s why, anything that will make imperial mother unhappy, he certainly won’t do. Regardless whether it’s growing up again in this body, or at a certain time, return to his original body.
In the end, this matter certainly still ended with the ‘little crown prince’ acting coy and cute. In these last few days, he was getting more and more used to being a child, doing many childish and boring things, but he just liked it. Moreover, he didn’t feel embarrassed in the slightest. In any case, he was just five. A five year old should just be like this———very bold and self-confident.
Jing Wan turned her hand and propped up her son that wanted a piggy-back ride. Even though she appeared helpless, her eyes nevertheless carried a smile, “If your imperial father were to see, he will really end up sorting you out.”
The ‘little crown prince’ pouted, “Mama said, imperial father is just a petty vinegar jar.”
“This gut of yours really is getting increasingly big. If your imperial father were to know, perhaps he really will whip you.”
The ‘little crown prince’ hugged her neck, snuggling against her, “I’m just saying it to imperial mother along, so imperial father certainly won’t know. Besides, imperial father has done it on his own, yet don’t allow others to say?”
“Then, if you do something, regardless good or bad, you’ll just allow the people below to casually talk about? Furthermore, your imperial father, he’s the emperor. As the son, you should further protect his honor.”
“Alright, imperial mother, I understand. In the future, I won’t carelessly comment.” Towards Jing Wan’s meaning, the ‘little crown prince’ understood all too well. “Imperial mother, imperial mother, let’s go play outside the palace.”
Jing Wan paused in her steps, “Your imperial father’s attitude towards you lately have eased a little, but if you continue causing trouble like this, there will eventually be a day where you’ll be even worst off than before.”
“No way, he’s my imperial father after all.” The ‘little crown prince’ said in a light and graceful tone.
Jing Wan’s eyes slightly flickered. Her son’s words clearly penetrated with affection. Perhaps even he himself all didn’t detect. But, the childlike admiration, leniency, understanding, and such feelings inside, it actually all shouldn’t come from a five year old child. Little children were all naturally naive and ‘selfish’. They will only think of what they have that can’t be satisfied and won’t consider other people’s feelings. Her son, in the past, was also like this.
Jing Wan helplessly laughed. She must have thought too much.
“Imperial mother, just take me out to play, just once, just this one time.” The ‘little crown prince’ cutely pleaded.
“If you truly want to go, once you finish copying the books, you can leave the palace to play for two days with your study companions.” Jing Wan has actually never thought of wanting to have her son restricted in the palace forever. Prior to him ascending the throne, he can go out from time to time, just treating it as observing the life of the people. Once he sits on the throne, he won’t be that free anymore. Just, right now, he was still small, unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Going out and making them worried was one thing, but also because it was easy to be influenced. Some influences might just last a lifetime.
“Don’t wanna, I just want to go with imperial mother, just the two of us, take a few less people, secretly, don’t let imperial father know. When time comes, let him anxiously look for us, hahaha, certainly will be very interesting. Does imperial mother not want to in the slightest?”
Really don’t want to. “To be playing pranks onto your imperial father, if really like this, after coming back, this little butt of yours will just split open.”
“If really able to go out and play once with imperial mother, then even if getting whipped, I’m also not scared. Imperial mother really can’t satisfy this tiny wish of mine?” The ‘little crown prince’ became pitiful again.

“Don’t think about these nonsense all day long, there’s no way.”
“Alright, I understand.” The ‘little crown prince somewhat disappointedly said, appearing a bit dejected.
Jing Wan didn’t continue saying anything.
In the next three days, the ‘little crown prince’ was finally freed from his book copying great undertaking, and towards ‘scribbling’, he probably won’t continue maintaining this interest either. Some things, for him, after trying once was enough.
On this day, Jing Wan had him called before her. She was even in casual clothes. The ‘little crown prince’ was very shocked. Speaking of which, there was a morning court session today. Didn’t imperial mother always attend morning court with imperial father? “Imperial mother, what are we going to do?”
“Didn’t you want to go play outside the palace? Imperial mother plans on taking you outside the palace to play for a few days, but can’t let your imperial father know, so this time is naturally the best.” Jing Wan smilingly said.
The ‘little crown prince’s’ eyes instant became glisteningly bright, “Imperial mother, are you telling the truth, really?”
“Of course, quickly go change. After changing, we’ll leave right away.” Jing Wan turned her head to the side. The clothes for him were already prepared.
The ‘little crown prince’ couldn’t be happier. Originally, he’d already given up on this idea, yet unexpectedly, there was still this kind of surprise.
After preparing, Jing Wan just took along Gong mama and Hei Mei. Additionally, there was also a shadow guard that has always existed. And in such a low-key manner, they left the palace. Jing Wan was the empress, holding power over the entire inner palace. If she really wanted to leave the palace, after slightly making arrangements, it was something that couldn’t be easier.
However, prior to leaving, the ‘little crown prince’ left a slip of paper for his imperial father. A very hard to read scribble, and the contents on there were even quite arrogant: ‘Imperial father, I have kidnapped imperial mother.’ At the end, he even very smugly drew a smiley face that originated from Jing Wan.
Not long after Li Hong Yuan came back from morning court, he just learned of this matter. That slip of paper that was actually already considered a great improvement compared to his past work got placed on Li Hong Yuan’s imperial desk. The palace servant that had the paper presented up was trembling in fear. Who knew that his Highness the crown prince was actually this daring. Moreover, to think that the usually steady and composed empress would actually indulge the crown prince in messing around. They practically didn’t dare to imagine how furious his Majesty will be.
But, in reality, Li Hong Yuan just had his eyes lowered, staring at that slip of paper, his finger lightly tapping the imperial desk again and again. And the expected fury didn’t actually appear. After don’t know how long, “Call Vice Commander Qian in.”
This Vice Commander of the Imperial Guards was naturally just the former An Yi.
The person came very quickly, “Greetings to your Majesty.”
“The empress and the crown prince’s matter, you already know?”
“Replying to your Majesty, the people below have already reported up the matter. This subordinate has already arranged the people, ensuring her Highness and his Highness’s safety.”
“Good job. In a few days, remember to have them brought back.”
“Yes.” Vice Commander Qian was actually a little surprised inside. Based on his Majesty’s care towards her Highness, he would actually let her Highness stay outside the palace for a few days? And the crown prince that ‘urged on’ her Highness actually didn’t get immediately dragged back to sort out either? Wasn’t this a bit against common sense?
