My Brothers Gave Me the Throne

My Imperial Father was tearing his hair out over the succession, so I turned around and sent each of my brothers a dozen beauties.

My eldest brother got drunk in a beauty’s arms, my second brother eloped for love, and my third brother went even further, announcing that he was going to become a monk.

My father was so furious he flipped the table and cursed me as a menace. I spread my hands innocently. “Doesn’t this make everyone happy?”

Then he was delighted to discover I was the most “well-behaved” of them all, and excitedly named me Crown Prince.

At my enthronement ceremony, I swept my dragon robe aside. “Father, actually, those beauties... they’re all mine.”

Watching his eyes widen in alarm, I added with a smile, “Oh, and the new consort you just appointed is mine too.”

The whole court could barely hold back their laughter.
