Throne

Chapter 11: A small Party

Both mother and son had a small talk and after that, both of them went to their own room

The next day, a small party was hosted by Queen Song Xia in return of her son and for his 18th birthday

Also, while talking with mother Song Xia, Hao Jiazhi (he had taken his father's surname) come to know that her mother knows a lot about him

Including his new attendant and new maids

This clearly showed that her mother is the one who had sent spies over his side for his protection than an enemy, which made him his worry less

As for why to protect him, it's something like this

Hao Jiazhi was like a sissy type girl during his whole childhood and then he started becoming a little bit Hikki as he aged up

This made the emperor really mad and he ordered his men to throw Hao Jiazhi away but his mother stand by his side

A mother can't leave her son, no matter what

After some big quarrel, it was decided that Hao Jiazhi won't be staying in the capital city as it would tarnish the image of the emperor and also his other heirs

So, he was sent to another state/province and there he lived in one of her mother's mansion

It seems like; his mother has quite a strong backing that's why the emperor couldn't do much when she stands up for her son

Long story short,

Hao Jiazhi's brother hates him to the core as they feel like Hao Jiazhi is a big stain in the name of royalty, something his own mother felt for a long time and felt that she made a wrong decision, as a mother as she should have taught him rather than sending him away

But, time is the greatest teacher

With passing time, Hao Jiazhi finally matured especially after he became 17 years old

Thus, her mother is no longer worried and wants to officially announce that her son will be fighting for the throne

This may seem good as it will be pure stupidity if Hao Jiazhi said no to this offer, but it seems like there are people who hate him to a good amount

Which includes, his 2 brothers and their supporters

After all, competition has increased now

Party time-

All ministers and other relatives of Queen Song Xia visited her mansion to give best wishes to her son, Hao Jiazhi

There were all 9 ministers, eunuch's, grand tutor, cabinet ministers, and other military heads

And then comes his brothers and sister

"Happy birthday, Little brother" Hao Ming, the biggest brother and also the person who has the highest chance of getting the throne wished Hao Jiazhi

"Here is your gift" he said as he gave him a long Bronze sword (Chinese sword)

"Thank you for this precious gift, Big Brother" Hao Jiazhi said as he lowered his head while receiving the gift

Today, Hao Jiazhi is wearing a very beautiful dress, Red Hanfu inside and a black robe above it.

And every part of his dress has various types of embroidery in it which makes Hao Jiazhi look like a true royalty

After Hao Ming, comes Hao Lei's turn

He is the 3rd brother (after him is Hao Jiazhi)

He also wished him (Hao Jiazhi) happiness and then gave him a gift, which is battle armor colored black, gold, and grey-silver. Also, have various animal furs around it

Hao Lei is the 2nd person who has the biggest chance of succession the throne

And then finally comes Hao Tai, Big sister (she is 2nd in age group)

'If memory serves right then Big Sister Hao Tai is the only person that had shown love to Hao Jiazhi in his childhood after his mother' Hao Jiazhi said in his mind as he looks at his big sister

Hao Tai came wearing a white Hanfu dress and a golden robe on it

But she is not walking on her feet because her legs don't work

She is in a wheelchair

The reason why Hao Tai loved Hao Jiazhi so much was due to the fact that she knew; she and Hao Jiazhi have no future in this royal palace

They both were born in a life full of luxury but still, they couldn't have the happiness they wanted

Hao Jiazhi could feel the love of his old self (old Hao Jiazhi) towards his big sister, so he himself walked towards her and then took the handle of the wheelchair from her attendant and walked with her by himself

"Happy birthday little brother" She said with a smile

"Thank You..." Hao Jiazhi said with a warm smile

As compared to her other brothers, she doesn't have any backing or any type of connection. The only reason why she is here is because of her mother who is a beauty in the whole kingdom

And because she is crippled, she just couldn't make any type of connection with anyone

She is born with a crippled leg so she can't do anything against her fate

She didn't bring any gift with herself, but she didn't come empty hand

"Sorry little brother, I have nothing to give you..

The only thing I can give you is these fruits that I have grown in my garden" Hao Tai said as she handed out a small basket full of fruits

Hao Jiazhi could hear some words of ministers and giggles of maids around the place, after all, her gift is nothing compared to other peoples gift

But

As compared to those gifts that were given to him with an empty heart and fake smile, this basket of fruit is given with a true warmness of love

Something Hao Jiazhi felt it and got a little bit emotional, which is a bit surprised as he has long forgotten about happiness since he became a "Don/ Gang Boss" back on earth

Without Hao Jiazhi's notice, He made a smile

A smile full of love, care, respect, and warmness towards his big sister Hao Tai

And said, "Thank You…"

2 simple words, but everyone knew that these 2 words were much more sincere than they all had received

And the party goes on
