510. Palace banquet (8)-Imperial Uncle, Can You Give Me That?

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Rarely, even Yan Shengrui felt so speechless about him. Did his Wu so like Seven?

"Who is Brother Yan?"

Throwing a hard stare at someone who was laughing down there, Yan Shengzhi asked. The small bun tittered and then covered his mouth, looking so cute, "Imperial uncle is so silly. Brother Yan is your son. They all call him Prince Seven."

"So you mean Seven? So you like him?"

Being loathed by a kid again, Yan Shengzhi asked instead of getting annoyed.

"Hmm, I like him a lot. Brother Yan cares about us. A few days ago, he brought us a lot of snacks. But yesterday, he secretly left whole I was taking a nap. Daddy said his home is inside the palace. So he couldn't live in our mansion for long. Imperial uncle, can't you let him live with us?"

Ling Wu pouted while shaking his arm. He wouldn't want to see his Brother Yan after a long time every time.

"How about I send your Uncle Chu to live with you too?"

"Hmm, really?"

This time, not only Ling Wu, even Ling Wen nodded together, two pairs of peach blossom eyes shining with expecting light. They missed their Uncle Chu so much!

"Haha, you two little smart kids. You really don't know how to spell the word modesty. Totally like your father!"

Poking their little heads gently, ever since they came, Yan Shengzhi's smile had never came off that face. But ignoring what he said, the two little buns said at the same time, "Can't you?"

"Of course not. Your Uncle Chu is my empress. He could only live in the palace. As for Seven, maybe I can consider sending him out of the palace. But he can't live in your mansion, but his own mansion. If you miss him, you can go find him there anytime."

As for the seventh prince building his own mansion outside had already been put on the agenda. A lot of officials had summitted their memorials on this thing, but he all pressed them down. Firstly, he could tell Yunhan didn't want the kid to leave him. He also didn't want to make him sad. Secondly, since Seven came back last year, he had changed a lot. Sometimes, his opinions on some political things were even more insightful than his. So he also wanted to keep him by his side for more observation. Maybe he was more suitable to take over the whole kingdom than his few imperial elder brothers.

On hearing that, the two little buns looked so disappointed. Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing exchanged an eye contact secretly. So he had already made up his mind? If Seven went out of the palace, there were two results, firstly, confer him a title and let him build his own mansion. Secondly, let him directly move into the mansion in the east palace for the crown prince. But they had no idea which one he'd prefer. He was the only son of the empress, so it was only justifiable to ascend the throne. But he was only ten years old, still too little. But His Majesty had been in bad condition for long, maybe someday he'd pass away. If he nominated Seven as the crown prince now, those officials would have objections. On this point, the big prince and others had obvious advantage.

"Oh. Then imperial uncle, can you make Brother Yan's mansion next to us? The capital is a lot bigger than our village. I don't want to live too far from him."

After a moment's disappointment, the small bun raised his head again, with that little face filled with expectations. Yan Shengzhi said grumpily, "Only the crown prince mansion is close to your mansion."

"Then the crown prince mansion it is!"

Totally having no idea what his words meant, the small bun only said it frankly. If it hadn't been he was only six years old and wore such an innocent face, Yan Shengrui nearly couldn't help if the empress or Seven taught him to say that, indirectly to use his mouth to ask for the crown prince title.

"That won't do. Not everyone is qualified to live in the crown prince mansion."

The small bun got angry and ran away. As Yan Shengzhi reached out trying to grab him, he was only step slower. But Ling Wen on the side ran after Ling Wen. The two little brothers meant to run to Yan Shengrui's side. But with the spit vision, they saw the giant red coral on the side, and thinking about what daddy said to them, without thinking, they both ran over holding it.

"It's so beautiful! Imperial uncle, can you send it to us?"

"Urgh..."

They really didn't take themselves as outsiders. Yan Shengzhi instantly darkened his face. That was something offered from the boarders. That was the only one through the whole kingdom. It was said that laying it in the room, it'd bring good to anyone falling ill. So he placed it in his imperial study. Even when Her Empress Dowager and Noble Consort Xiao asked it from him, he didn't agree. Never expected... Facing those glistening pair of expecting eyes, he just couldn't say no. Then he turned his eyes to Yan Shengrui and Zeng Shaoqing for help. The always shrewd two just ignored his eyes, one enjoying his tea while the other looking here and there, like it was the first time he came to his imperial study.

Those two as*holes!

"No again?"

Yan Shengzhi cursed deeply, and then came the two little buns' sobbing tone by the ears. As he raised his head, he saw that the two little buns might cry at any time, without any doubt, if he shook his head, they'd immediately cry out. Yan Shengzhi finally said like it was cutting his flesh, "Zhang Dezi, ask someone to send it to their mansion."

"Huh?"

Rarely Zhang Dezi reacted slowly. Yan Shengrui threw a stern look at him, "Huh what? I said send the red coral to their mansion."

Holy sh*t! His heart! His red coral!

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Daring not having any hesitation, Zheng Dezi hurriedly made a bow and retreated. While Yan Shengzhi was still immersed in the sadness, the two little buns secretly exchanged an eye contract and then cupped their hands while saying, "Thank you, imperial uncle!"

The task assigned by daddy accomplished! Heehee~

"It's OK..."

Yan Shengrui waved his hand heartbrokenly, while his heart was already like dripping blood, while Zeng Shaoqing and Yan Shengrui down there nearly had internal injuries for trying to hold their laughing too hard. Of all the officials in the court, who didn't know His Majesty cared about his red coral most? This time, His Majesty would be sad for quite some time. At the banquet tonight, he'd also have no mood to care about those women's little tricks and calculation against each other.
