Chapter 4 – Exceedingly Strong mory
Translated by imakeussmile
After discovering the thirteenth prince’s below stellar aptitude, it gave his parents an obvious and considerable shock. However, they were able to comfort themselves thinking that if their child was safe, and had no worries in life, his aptitude really didn’t matter.
Of course, they would not give up on nurturing their son, as they still believed that, by putting in great effort, he would be able to make up for his poor innate talent. Even if the thirteenth prince couldn’t beco an outstanding individual, at the very least, he should be proficient and skilled in a particular field.
Fortunately, their three other children had excellent innate talent, especially Ye Hui who was the oldest child in the family and also the only other male. Ye Hui’s growth let others feel ecstatic and he could be considered the complete opposite of his little brother, the thirteenth prince. He, with no doubt was 100% a genius.
Because of Ye Hui’s existence, Ye Cheng Tian and his wife’s hearts were at least a bit at ease, and focused mainly on Ye Hui’s nurturing, and secondarily their two daughters. As for the thirteenth son, they would not give up on him and would equally love and dote on him, but with regards to nurturing him, it would be much more casual.
If the thirteenth prince were to stay like this, then he would live the rest of his life peacefully. With the Ye Family’s power, even if he was not able to marry the empire’s little princess, they would still be able to find a very good wife for him, who would love him and he would live happily with no worries.
Why couldn’t he marry the empire’s little princess, even though they’re engaged? What a pointless question. Due to the current situation, both sides would cancel the engagent between the thirteenth prince and the little princess. No matter if it was the Ye Family or the Imperial Household, both parties would definitely not let the thirteenth prince marry the empire’s little princess.
There were many matters which were implicated within the engagent. If the Ye Family was to not care about anything, and let the thirteenth prince marry with the empire’s little princess, then they would not be able to stand tall within the Soaring Sky Empire and fall.
Also, no matter what, being a courtier, the Ye Family would not let the imperial household lose face. Even if the imperial household was to give the Ye Family face and insist on the marriage, the Ye Family would still decline.
What’s more, as long as there was a way to dissolve the marriage engagent, the imperial household would imdiately agree and wouldn’t continue insisting on the matter.
Of course, while the thirteenth prince and the little princess were still young, this matter would temporarily be put aside and no one would, for the ti being, ntion it. In other words, the thirteenth prince and the empire’s little princess were still regarded as unmarried husband and wife.
Returning back to the main topic, the thirteenth prince did possess an aspect which makes him stand out from the rest of the masses. Naturally, this wasn’t about his intellectual growth, which was already known by everyone. It was instead sothing else.
So very strange things would occur, and no none would be able to explain them at all. It was just like the multicolored sunlight which appeared when the thirteenth prince was born, where no one was able to understand the reason for it appearing.
Bringing us to the subject at hand, the first to discover the thirteenth prince’s strangeness weren’t other people but was instead the thirteenth prince’s active big sister, Ye Lan Yu. There was a day when she was carrying the thirteenth prince around to play and at that ti, she discovered that the thirteenth prince’s mory was the complete opposite of his intelligence.
At that ti, the thirteenth prince was already barely able enough to be able to communicate with others. Although this growth was still a bit slow, it was still at least to an extent still acceptable by everyone. Right now, no one had very high expectations of him and they just wished that he would be able to live the rest of his life both peacefully and happily.
Even if he did not know how to take care of himself, it didn’t matter at all, as the Ye Family could take good care of him for his entire life. Furthermore, so people had already had this intention.
Just that, at this ti, little Lan Yu had discovered the thirteenth prince’s strangeness. At that ti, she was playing with a kind of jigsaw puzzle ga, which tested one’s mory skill and ability to judge. Originally, the jigsaw puzzle which she played with would be relatively easy, a suitable brain racking ga for children.
However, little Lan Yu herself felt that she was smarter than the typical child, and this was also the shared opinion by the majority of people. Therefore, she chose a jigsaw puzzle which was relatively harder. The difficulty of the jigsaw puzzle ga was definitely exceedingly hard for children, and even the typical adult would find it sowhat challenging as well.
That’s right, little Lan Yu was definitely exceptionally intelligent, but she was still a child after all, and there was a limit for a child’s intelligence. Therefore, even after trying to solve it for half a day, she still wasn’t able to solve it, and in the end, being annoyed, she threw the jigsaw puzzle onto the floor and sat down at a side while panting with anger.
During this ti when little Lan Yu was angry, the thirteenth prince who was at one side started to move. Looking at the jigsaw puzzle on the floor and then looking towards his big sister who was currently angry, his expression appeared to be sowhat muddle-headed.
He sowhat understood that his big sister was angry because she wasn’t able finish the jigsaw puzzle, and thus he extended out his tiny hand and started picking up the pieces that were scattered on the floor, placed them onto the picture, and then attempted to try piecing it all together.
“Little brother, stop playing already, it is not fun at all. Big sis will bring you......” After getting over being angry, little Lan Yu discovered that thirteenth prince was crawling on the floor and playing with the jigsaw puzzle. At the start, she thought that he was just casually playing around with the jigsaw puzzle, but very quickly, she discovered that sothing was off.
At the corner of the picture fra, where her eyes swept past, it seed like there was the appearance of a complete jigsaw puzzle, and this made her feel very shocked. Looking at it carefully, she discovered that half of the jigsaw puzzle was already completed.
“This...this...” Little Lan Yu’s expression was as if she had just discovered a new continent. She was able to confirm that this was definitely done by thirteenth prince as there were currently only the two of them there.
Just that, she wasn’t able to piece together this jigsaw puzzle even after spending half a day on it, and right now, her silly little brother was instead able to complete half of it. This was just too unbelievable already.
Little Lan Yu was stupefied. She was looking at the thirteenth prince with a dazed look.
“Look big sis, it’s finished already. Don’t be angry anymore.” The thirteenth prince spoke very slowly. Every single word that he would want to say, he would have to think for a while, trying hard to express his own opinion.
At this, little Lan Yu was already used to it, as he had always been speaking like this.
A coincidence, this must have been a coincidence, is what she thought.
Little Lan Yu looked at the complete jigsaw puzzle, sowhat not being able to believe it. Firstly, she was not able to believe that her silly little brother was able to complete this jigsaw puzzle. Secondly, she was not able to believe that she was worse than her own little brother. This let her as the big sister, not know how to show her face.
“I’m not angry. Little brother, let’s play one more ti together.” Little Lan Yu smiled and then once again scattered apart the jigsaw puzzles, wanting to see whether it was a re coincidence or not.
The thirteenth prince looked at little Lan Yu and then squatted down to continue fiddling with the jigsaw puzzle. As the jigsaw puzzle slowly started to co together, little Lan Yu’s mouth began opening wider and wider.
“Mom, mom! There’s sothing serious, little brother he......” At this ti, little Lan Yu quickly ran to report what had just happened to Long An Qi.
As a result, this matter caused a sensation in the whole Ye Family, albeit a very small one. Everyone discovered that the thirteenth prince’s mory was not comparable to an ordinary person’s and could be said, that with just one look, he would be able to rember it all.
This final conclusion, which made others feel that it was sowhat unbelievable, was determined after trying out many kinds of test on the thirteenth prince.
The thirteenth prince’s standard of intelligence was still not up to their expectations, as he still did not have the standard which he should have at his age, however his ability to morize caused even adults to feel inferior and ashad.
So was this a case of being both a genius and an idiot which was said to have occurred in the legends?
Perhaps this was the case, or perhaps it was that the thirteenth prince was lacking sothing which prevented him from being able to fully use and showcase his abilities.
