Chapter 4 – Exceedingly Strong Memory

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 become 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 engagement 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 engagement. 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 engagement, the imperial household would immediately 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 time being, mention 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 something else.

Some 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 time, she discovered that the thirteenth prince’s memory was the complete opposite of his intelligence.

At that time, 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, some people had already had this intention.

Just that, at this time, little Lan Yu had discovered the thirteenth prince’s strangeness. At that time, she was playing with a kind of jigsaw puzzle game, which tested one’s memory skill and ability to judge. Originally, the jigsaw puzzle which she played with would be relatively easy, a suitable brain racking game 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 game was definitely exceedingly hard for children, and even the typical adult would find it somewhat 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.
