LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 479
All things settled, and a whole afternoon's time was soon over. And it was almost time for dinner. Before dinner, Yan Shengrui let the kids to go the study in the outer yard. Knowing that should have some serious things to talk about, Han Fei and others also left with them.
"Uncle Ling!'
After entering the study, no outsider then, Yan Xiaoming strode over before Ling Jingxuan and knelt down. A ten years old child, however premature he was, he'd have moments of breaking down. Before the father-like Ling Jingxuan, Yan Xiaoming couldn't help reddening his eyes. If it hadn't been that Uncle Ling had made the arranged ahead of time for them, maybe he would have died a lot of times already. His Majesty's favor to them who had no family on their back, it was like pushing them in the teeth of the storm. They nearly had to be on guard any minute. But even so, he still got poisoned and assassinated for quite a few times. Fortunately with the specially-made antidote and the shadow guards Yan Er and Uncle Zeng assigned him, he could have gotten away from it. His father empress' situation was not better than him. But they both knew they couldn't lose His Majesty's favor. Otherwise, they'd only die faster and more miserably. As early as when they decided to come back, they had already had no way back.
"Good boy, I'm so sorry.'
Ling Jingxuan also no longer repressed his feelings, bent over to help him up. He knew their situation. Before, it was too far and he couldn't do anything even if he knew. But now, he was also here. By now he still had no better way about things inside the palace. But outside the palace, of course he'd solve all troubles for them, especially the stupid Chu family!
"On thinking I can see you and my younger brothers some day, I feared of nothing.'
Randomly wiping off his tears while shaking his head firmly, Yan Xiaoming finally looked like what a ten-year-old kid was supposed to be like. But to Ling Jingxuan, he was still too premature, 'Don't give yourself too much pressure. In the future, I will share the burden for you. You only need to improve yourself and win His Majesty's favor and let him confer you as the crown prince.'
Stroking his forehead, Ling Jingxuan said gently. Maybe he couldn't figure out how to let him live like his little buns, the only thing he could do for him was to help him seize the throne. As for his future road, it was on his own.
"Hmm, I know."
Nodding, Yan Xiaoming turned to bow to Yan Shengrui, 'Thank you, Imperial Uncle Sheng."
"Don't thank me. If you can't make a good emperor, as I can support you to take the throne, I can also take you down. You are on your own.'
Yan Shengrui was as stern as always. He was a member of the imperial family, so he had the responsibility and obligations to bring peace to people. Since his wife saw something in Xiaoming, of course he'd also fully support him. But if he was a fatuous emperor in the future, then he'd definitely throw him off that position. Although seen from now, he was indeed the best candidate for the crown prince among those princes.
"I won't give you that chance."
The first time, Yan Xiaoming looked into his eyes with no fear. A year was enough for him to grow. The current he was not long that seventh prince who was like a coward.
"Oh? I wish!"
Picking his eyebrows, Yan Shengrui carried his teacup and sent it before his wife. After his wife took some, he also took a sip. Both Zeng Shaoqing and Yuan Shaoqi on the side complained in their hearts. Damn! Such a silly wife-con! Like a waiter before his wife while like a boss before them. Son of a bi*ch!
'Is Yunhan doing fine?'
Hailing everyone to sit down, Ling Jingxuan turned to Yan Xiaoming amd asked. That iceberg beauty, he really couldn't imagine what it looked like when he competed for His Majesty's favor with others. But seen from the present situation, he had done it not bad. His Majesty not only adopted his suggestions, but also restored his position.
"I can only say that he looks the same as before from the appearances. It's just he wears better, and his means are tougher, nothing different. As for his inner thoughts, I am also not clear. Uncle Ling, my father empress asks me to remind you that both the empress dowager and His Majesty have a word of Uncle Sheng marrying you. He asks you to be cautious.'
Yan Xiaoming shook his head and then said seriously. The empress dowager never liked him and his father empress, so they couldn't say some nice words before them for him. So Uncle Ling had to reply on his own.
"It'd only be strange if they don't have a problem with me.'
Ling Jingxuan smiled. Forget about he is a man, even his farmer's background couldn't pass. Besides, he was a man who had given birth for Yan Shengrui. It was only strange if they were not anxious. One should know Yan Shengrui also had the right of succession. The main reason no one had ever supported him was that he had no offspring. So, however meritorious he was, or however capable he was, he wouldn't convince people. But now was different, he had three sons! Even if he himself had never thought about it, some court officials would generate the thought, right? Yan Shengzhi had been in power for nearly ten years, and had already tasted the good of being the emperor, so he would be more desperate for power. So he wouldn't allow that kind of things to happen, or offer the throne to Yan Shengrui.
"Ignore them. They'll only gossip behind the back.'
