My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Upon entering the ward, Li Chengqian was not as delighted as he had imagined.

Instead, he stood silently gazing out the window, looking particularly forlorn as if he had something on his mind.

"Something on your mind?"

Chen Mo put down the oranges he had bought on the spur of the moment, took one out and started peeling it.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was startled, but shook his head when he saw it was Chen Mo.

"No, I have nothing on my mind..."

"How could you not have something on your mind? You look like that."

Chen Mo muttered something to himself and continued speaking.

"Are you wondering why Old Li was so indifferent to you before?"

After saying that, he popped the orange into his mouth, and his expression suddenly changed.

Hey!

cheated!

They clearly said these oranges are sweet!

"..."

Li Chengqian did not answer, but simply lowered his head.

"Brother Chen..."

"Um?"

"Do you think Father really doesn't value me?"

"They don't value you?"

Chen Mo was suddenly taken aback.

"Holy crap! You have no idea how anxious he was when you were in the operating room!"

As he spoke, Chen Mo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Like this, Judy and I asked him to sit down and rest for a bit, but he wouldn't!"

"When they learned your surgery was successful, the smile on their face was brighter than anyone else's!"

"It's a shame I didn't take a picture! Otherwise, I could have made it into an emoji and sent it to you!"

Li Chengqian looked at Chen Mo's appearance, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you?"

Chen Mo sat back down and handed the peeled orange to Li Chengqian.

"Old Li is just so arrogant!"

"I clearly care about you a lot, but I just don't want to express it to your face."

"That's why it turned out like this."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

"But perhaps most fathers are like this!"

"So there's absolutely no need to feel down. If he really didn't like you, he wouldn't have named you Li Chengqian!"

"I think you understand the meaning of the name Chengqian better than I do, right?"

Li Chengqian glanced at Chen Mo, a strange look on his face.

"Um... my name was given to me by my grandfather..."

"Ah, old man? Li Yuan?"

Chen Mo didn't react for a moment, but continued speaking after seeing Li Chengqian nod.

"But your father acknowledges this name!"

"He wouldn't have agreed if he didn't have high hopes for you!"

"That being said..."

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and looked at Chen Mo again, his eyes filled with confusion and worry.

"Will I really not let him down?"

"Am I truly capable of taking on the position of Crown Prince?"

"In the future... will I be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

"If you ask me, you're worrying too much."

Chen Mo peeled another orange and put it in his mouth.

The taste was good this time.

"There's no such thing as being worthy or unworthy."

Ultimately, this world is just a giant makeshift operation.

"Whether it's you or me, our entire lives are only a few decades or a hundred years."

"Compared to the entirety of history, it is exceptionally insignificant."

"Don't let those Confucian scholars discourage you and make you doubt yourself. When it comes to governing a country, you are already more capable than many emperors."

"Putting aside other things, take a certain war god of the Ming Dynasty for example. He not only surrendered with hundreds of thousands of elite troops, but after being captured, he even went to his own country and asked the soldiers to open the gates."

"You're saying that someone like that could eventually regain the throne with a clear conscience, and then order the execution of the key officials who defended the country?"

"You tell me, what's wrong with you compared to someone like that?"

Li Chengqian remained silent.

"Do such people really exist?"

"Or were you just saying that to comfort me, Brother Chen?"

"Would I lie to you?"

Chen Mo, with his fiery temper, immediately took out his phone and searched for the outrageous actions of the Great Ming War God.

Li Chengqian remained silent after reading it.

It turns out there really are such oddballs!

And it's even more outrageous than what Chen Mo said.

Even he knew that opportunity and time were important on the battlefield, but that guy still managed to lead the eunuchs and the army back and forth on raids.

"And you'll definitely do a better job than your brother!"

Li Chengqian raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm asking you, if you become emperor, will you lay a hand on your father's women?"

"Pfft cough cough cough~!!!???"

Li Chengqian spat out the orange he was eating.

But he couldn't care less about that and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"It means exactly what it says!"

"Your younger brother, the next emperor, will cuckold your father."

"?????????"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded.

Rather than not becoming emperor himself, he was more interested in knowing who was so powerful.

"Is Qingque really that brave?"

Li Chengqian opened his mouth, looking like he really didn't expect this.

"It's not Li Tai."

Chen Mo peeled another orange.

"It's your younger brother, Li Zhi."

"Li Zhi?"

"That kid's going to be this awesome in the future???"

Li Chengqian couldn't hide his expression that said, "I didn't expect that kid to be so awesome?" and "He's so good at playing games?"

He thought about his younger brother, who usually seemed well-behaved and didn't cause much trouble, and then he thought about how he had cuckolded Li Shimin.

"hiss……"

Li Chengqian gasped repeatedly.

"That rascal Wei Shan was so well-behaved, I never imagined he'd dare to lay a hand on my father's woman after becoming emperor!"

"As expected, that kid is..."

Li Chengqian hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say, and finally he summed it all up in one sentence.

"Awesome!"

Chen Mo smiled and shrugged. If he was this shocked now, wouldn't he be even more shocked if he knew that the woman would later declare herself empress and kill many members of the Li family?

"Phew!"

Li Chengqian exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his gaze to Chen Mo.

"I wonder if Brother Chen has any books? I'd like to use this time while I'm recuperating to improve myself."

Chen Mo chuckled.

"I don't have any books, but I just happened to buy you a cell phone."

After saying that, Chen Mo took out the phone he had just bought and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian opened the box, looked at the black box inside, and fell silent.

"I don't know how to use this?"

"Look, this is the power button, and these are the volume control buttons..."

After Chen Mo finished teaching Li Chengqian, he opened a novel by Xihuang Shi.

"Didn't you want to read books? We have all kinds of books here."

As soon as I entered Xihuangshi's novels, a book titled "Starting with Li Chengqian: Please Call Your Majesty the Crown Prince" caught my eye.

"..."

Chen Mo and Li Chengqian both fell silent.

"Just read these books for entertainment. As for what kind of books you want to read, click on 'Classics' or 'Knowledge'..."

Chen Mo laughed it off.

"If you find reading boring or difficult to understand, you can also check this out; it has everything..."

Chen Mo opened Douyin (TikTok).

The next second,

"Chengqian!"

"Please address Your Majesty as Crown Prince!"

"..."

Chen Mo really wanted to smash the phone on the spot.

Damn it, are you just going to go against him like this?

But with Li Chengqian present, it was impossible for him to actually fall.

So Chen Mo quickly flipped to the next video.

The solemn and dignified atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by a bright and lively, strange melody.

Amidst the colorful light and shadow, a young girl suddenly appears, wearing an extremely minimalist short-sleeved top and plaid skirt.

Most importantly, those long, slender legs were tightly wrapped in a thin layer of black fabric with a subtle sheen.

Li Chengqian didn't know what it was called, but his gaze involuntarily drifted over.

The girl leaped and twirled lightly to the rhythm, her hair flying, her smile sweet, every movement radiating a vibrant yet...shameless vitality.

"???"

Li Chengqian's eyes widened as if he were seeing a new world.

"This...this...this is outrageous!"

Although he said that, his gaze was as if drawn by a magnet, glued to the phone screen, and he even unconsciously leaned forward slightly, forgetting to breathe.

A moment later, the video ended, and Li Chengqian exhaled a breath of stale air, criticizing it.

"You modern people are still... too open-minded."

After speaking, Li Chengqian took several deep breaths and composed himself.

"Beauty is alluring, but it can corrupt the heart, Brother Chen! It's best to avoid such things."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Mo reluctantly agreed and handed the phone to Li Chengqian.

"Here's your phone; this is pretty much how you'll use it."

"By the way... please enter my phone number... you can call me if anything comes up later."

"Call up?"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Seeing this, Chen Mo spoke up to explain.

"It means being able to communicate with me, no matter how far apart we are, as long as there is a signal."

Li Chengqian was stunned again.

"Isn't this the legendary 'ears that can hear everything'?"

"Pretty much. Also, remember not to play on your phone for too long, otherwise your eyes will get tired and you'll easily become nearsighted."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"You can peel and eat those oranges yourself when you're free. I'll come over again tomorrow."

After giving a word of instruction, Chen Mo glanced at the oranges and then spoke up again.

"It's very sweet!"

After saying that, Chen Mo left.

Li Chengqian was the only one left in the room.

He looked out the window, pondered for a long time, then picked up his phone, opened the Xihuangshi novel, and searched for Li Chengqian.

Suddenly a whole bunch of comments popped up: "Please, Your Majesty, call me Crown Prince!" and "I, Li Chengqian, am rebelling online!"...

Looking at the book titles, Li Chengqian recalled the doctor's words and suddenly understood something.

original……

A complex emotion flickered in Li Chengqian's eyes.

Fortunately, the changes are for the better. Perhaps it's true, as Brother Chen said, that my father really cares about me, but just doesn't know how to express it.

I have to thank Brother Chen for all of this...

Li Chengqian looked to the side and saw that Chen Mo had peeled half an orange and placed it on the bedside table.

A warm feeling welled up in Li Chengqian's heart, and he picked one up and put it in his mouth.

"So sour! Brother Chen tricked me!"

Li Chengqian's face changed color from the sourness.

A moment later, he glanced at a certain app on his phone, his eyes flashing.

"Was this what you ordered, Brother Chen?"

Li Chengqian opened Douyin (TikTok).

The next second, a mature and elegant JK (high school girl) appeared on the screen.
