Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

After Ling Lihua and Lu Tingchen went to see the Dowager Duchess at the Grand Duke Mansion, they immediately returned to the Palace.

They missed the little kids very much.

When Zhao Qian informed him that they were both at the Palace, Long Yang knew they were her to see the children, so he walked out of the imperial study while carrying Long Yin. He waited for them at the door.

When they arrived, he led them straight toward Grand Phoenix Palace.

Ling Lihua could not wait any longer on the way to Grand Phoenix Palace. She took her grandson from His Majesty's arms and carried him preciously.

It seemed as though the child sensed that they were family—even though it was the first time Long Yin was meeting his grandmother, he did not reject her touch.

"Yin'er, this is your grandmother. And this is your uncle." Even though Long Yin was young, Long Yang still proceeded with giving him proper introductions.

Long Yin looked at them back and forth with his jet-black eyes. A nearly imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, but Ling Lihua managed to spot it. She was filled with joy and she said, "This child is really smart."

"Mother, let me carry Yin'er." When Lu Tingchen saw his mother carrying Long Yin without any indication of letting him have his turn, he had no choice but to speak up as he reached out for Long Yin.

Ling Lihua had not had her fill yet. When she saw his movements, she carried Yin'er away from him and walked to the side of her son-in-law.

Lu Tingchen, "…"

His mother was being unreasonable. He was Yin'er's uncle, and it was the first time he was seeing Yin'er since the child was born. How could his mother hoard Yin'er and not allow him to carry his nephew?

He was frustrated.

Ling Lihua ignored him. She wanted to carry Yin'er longer.

When Long Yang saw how Lu Tingchen was trying to tolerate this, he found it quite funny. "There's still Yaoyao and Ji'er. I'll let you carry them for as long as you want later."

When Lu Tingchen heard this, he remembered that he still had two nieces at Grand Phoenix Palace and forced himself to let go of his frustration toward his mother.

When they arrived at Grand Phoenix Palace, Lu Tingchen wanted to charge inside but held himself back due to His Majesty's presence.

He had worked for Long Yang for a long time and had always been aware of their respective statuses as Emperor and official.

Even though he was His Majesty's brother-in-law now, there were still certain rules that must be kept and he would never cross the line.

That was why he could only suppress his excitement when they got nearer to Grand Phoenix Palace.

However, Ling Lihua did not have the same prohibition he did.

She had come from the martial world and had always been of unbridled character. In addition to that, she was His Majesty's mother-in-law. This gave her less reason to bother about rules and regulations.

When they arrived outside Grand Phoenix Palace, she passed Long Yin to her son and ran in quickly to see her two little granddaughters.

Lu Tingchen finally got his wish to carry his little nephew. They stared at each other for quite a while before Lu Tingchen finally gave a light cough and called out, "Yin'er."

Long Yin looked at him for a while before leaning into his arms lazily and shutting his eyes to go to sleep.

Lu Tingchen had a feeling he had just got ignored. What was going on?

Did this little guy not like him?

The thought made Lu Tingchen feel unhappy.

"That little rascal enjoys sleeping most of the time. There is no need to entertain him." When Long Yang saw his son fall asleep again, a vein throbbed in his temple as he explained the situation to Lu Tingchen.

Lu Tingchen felt a little better when he heard this.

"He doesn't allow others to carry him so easily. He must have recognized you as his uncle because he didn't object to you carrying him," Long Yang added.

Lu Tingchen was quite touched when he heard this.

His nephew had quite the personality!

When they entered the hall, Ling Lihua was already carrying a child in each hand and she was in a joyful mood.

Lu Tingchen was delightfully surprised to see the two little nieces who looked just like each other.

He got slightly jealous when he saw his mother playing with them.

He wanted to carry them too.

When Lu Liangwei saw him staring at her daughters the moment he came in, to the point of even ignoring Chu Jiu, who was standing at the side, she was rather amused. She pretended to be unhappy as she said, "It looks like the children are now more important than I am in your eyes. None of you even care that I'm here."
