The Blessed

After the noon nap, Ling Jingxuan let the little buns to hold Zhao An while he secretly asked Chunxiang to go to his inner study. Whether Zhao An was really His Empress'™ people now, before getting the conformation, they should be over cautious. Now the little buns grew so smart. After receiving their daddy'™s order, they not only held Zhao An by their side, but also asked wolf daddy and others as their '˜company'™. So, a long time after that, Zhao An dare no longer go to their mansion again. Even if he had to, he'™d immediately slip away after announcing the imperial decree before the hall, not even making any eye contact with those little demons. Of course, that was the after story.

'œGreetings, Your Highness, Your Crown Princess.'

In the inner study, Yan Shengrui sat in the main seat wearing a cold face, while Ling Jingxuan sat next to him with a faint smile. Chunxiang bowed in humble reverence. Those from the imperial palace may have no other advantages, but really flawless in etiquettes and manners.

'œSave it. Aunt Chunxiang, please sit.'

Under such occasions, Yan Shengrui usually wouldn'™t speak. So, Ling Jingxuan acted as the master. Compared with his coldness in the morning, now apparently Ling Jingxuan looked a lot milder.

'œThank you, my crown princess.'

Logically, even if the mastered granted a seat, as the maid, she couldn'™t really sit. But before coming here, the master told her that the crown princess was not that kind of ceremonious person. If she overstressed their identity gap, he'™d only blame him. So Chunxiang sat down after thanking him.

Really a smart one!

Seeing that, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Ling Jingxuan'™s eyes. Worthy to be someone trained by Yunhan, well-mannered, modest, and from every move, one could tell she never forgot she was a maid, but also wouldn'™t look so petty and lose His Empress'™ face.

'œSo, anything His Empress asked you to tell us.'

Ling Jingxuan was always a straightforward person. And Yan Shengrui also would like to leave everything for him to handle. As long as his wife was happy, even if it might jeopardize some of his manliness?

'œYes, His Empress asked me to tell you that you should be extra cautious at the palace banquet the day after.'

'œOh? So is it possible that old witch tries to make trouble again?'

Slightly picking his eyebrows, Ling Jingxuan hooked his lips, from his tone, you couldn'™t tell whether he cared about it or not. Chunxiang also dare not surmise it herself, so she only nodded, 'œYesterday, you killed Her Empress Dowager'™s person eunuch, and she was super mad at first. But after staying the room with Mammy Jin alone for some time, her face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny. And she said she'™d grant marriages for those marriageable sons at the banquet. She especially asked the servants to get the portraits of all those girls who has reached the marriageable age. His Empress always thinks there must be something fishy behind it. So he specially asked me to get you notified in advance.'

Now everyone in the palace heard of it. As filial as His Majesty, of course he had no objections.

'œGrant marriages?'

Hearing that, Yan Shengrui frowned. Ling Jingxuan cast a meaningful glace at him, and gave an evil smile while touching his chin. Was she trying to find someone to disgust him? He had seen a lot of such plots in those TV series. At the imperial banquet, the emperor or the empress dowager liked doing such things. But never expected that some day he himself would become the protagonist. Though it could never be him, but his man, hard to say'¦It was only normal for a man to have a few concubines, especially those with a high position. But, he would never share his man with anyone else.

'œOK, I got it. Please thank His Empress for me after you go back.'

Before it happened, he didn'™t want to guess it. Just roll with the punches. If it were something else, he was totally fine with it. But granting his man a marriage? Not even a chance!

'œThat'™s too much for me. His Empress is looking forward to having a reunion with you. He'™d definitely make the arrangement to meet you. Please wait patiently.'

Speaking of which, Chunxiang stood up. Ling Jingxuan nodded, 'œNo problem. I'™m also looking forward to that day.'

'œIf there is nothing else, please excuse me. Today I will stay in the mansion to teach the little dukes and will go back with Prince Seven tomorrow afternoon. My crown princess can rest assured. The etiquette man will lead the way in the palace. No mistake will be made.'

'œThen I need to trouble you.'

Ling Jingxuan stood and sent her all the way to the door and didn'™t mean to turn back after her figure disappeared leaning against the door frame. Yan Shengrui walked over and held him gently, 'œAre you mad at me? This is none of my business. You can'™t put the blame on me.'

He'™d never stand guard outside again! Besides, who knew if his wife wouldn'™t figure out some even worse move than that? Heaven knew how scared he was now.

'œHeihei'¦don'™t afraid. Do I look like a devil?'

With a bad smile, he turned around and held his neck, with all ridicule in his eyes. Ling Jingxuan subconsciously wanted to nod, but the words that came out of his mouth were, 'œOf course not!'

Yes, you are, you are worse than the devil! Of course, he would never have the balls to say that out loud.

'œSave it! Don'™t think I don'™t know what you are thinking. So, you also think the empress dowager acts weird, right? So granting marriage is only an excuse, right?'

A joke is a joke. But business still needed to be taken seriously. Originally, he really didn'™t plan to do anything, but only meet Yunhan secretly at most. Never expected that before he calculated others, someone asked for his abusing now. If he didn'™t do something, wouldn'™t he just '˜let them down'™?

'œEven thinking with my butts, I know it'™s just those old tricks in the harem. They really take you as a woman in the backyard.'

Yan Shengrui said with disdain. Ling Jingxuan leaned to give him a kiss and then said evilly, 'œThen how about we play a game?'

'œOh? How do you want to play? Need my cooperation?'
