Not long after, after Ling Jingxuan went to the workshop, released the Crescent Spring to scoop out some water and soaked those three gifts in it, the three moving ‘red envelops’ ran over, those joyful voices, even he was inside the workshop, Ling Jingxuan could hear it clearly.
“Father, where is daddy?”
Not seeing Ling Jingxuan, the few little buns asked. As Yan Shengrui was about to answer them, the door of the workshop opened. Ling Jingxuan who was also wearing red wedding dress walked out. The three little buns ran over, “Daddy (Adoptive daddy).”
“Morning, little buns, come to daddy, wow, my little buns are so handsome today!”
Touching them respectively, Ling Jingxuan pulled them into the living room. All the servants and maids got up already and were already busy outside. They only invited five tables of guests, two in the backyard, for the servants and maids, three in the front yard. Lady Wang meant to put them in the central room, but Ling Jingxuan said the air was not good inside. And now the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, so they finally decided to eat outside.
“Daddy, come sit here, with father.”
Seeing that Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan occupied a couch, the small bun grabbed his hand and pulled him to sit by Yan Shengrui’s side. The new couple picked their eyebrows, and decided to see what they were up to. Then they saw the three little buns stand in a line before them, Ling Wen in the middle, while Ling Wu and Tiewa on both sides. Under Ling Wen’s lead, they knelt down and kowtowed to them, and then said with their hands cupped, “Wish father and daddy a happy marriage and love each other forever!”
“Wish father and daddy a happy marriage and love each other forever!”
“Wish adoptive father and daddy a happy marriage and love each other forever!”
The three little buns sent their own blessing. Ling Jingxuan suddenly felt so touched, Yan Shengrui stretched out a hand to hold his shoulder, the eyes looking at those little buns with all tenderness. Whether they came up such an idea themselves or someone else taught them, they had received their blessings.
“Good boys, thank you so much.”
After calming their excitement a little, Ling Jingxuan reached out to pull them up and then kissed each of them on their forehead, while Yan Shengrui also learned from him and did the same thing. To them, nothing would be better than the little buns’ blessings.
“Knock knock…”
“Uncle Sheng, Uncle Ling, father has asked me to send you the gift.”
The next second, holding a wooden box, Chu Yan stretched out his hand to knock on the open door, then already walked in before they invited him in. Ling Jingxuan pulled the little buns to sit around them then raised his head with a smile, “Yan, come and sit. Don’t stand on ceremony. I am already very happy that you can come. No need for the gift.”
He really liked Chu Yan from the bottom of his heart, not only because he cared about his little buns more than him, but also because he felt sorry for his being premature which didn’t belong to his age.
Compared with him, the way Yan Shengrui looked at Chu Yan was a lot more serious, mixed with a little bit satisfaction and inspection. If it were before, Chu Yan would have already shuddered. But now, he no longer showed scare, even if he still felt scared and respectful of him. And just because of that, Yan Shengrui would show some kind of emotion called satisfaction.
“Yan’er, what are you doing? There is gold under a man’s knees, you are already a big man, how can you get on your knees so easily?”
Seeing him actually holding the wooden box and getting on his knees, Ling Jingxuan quickly let go of the little buns and tried to hold him up. He was a prince, how could he knee down to a farmer? Although he personally didn’t think it was a thing, but…anyhow, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. He had to consider things he should.
“No, Uncle Ling, between heaven and earth, except my parents, only you and Uncle Sheng are worthy to accept my kowtow.”
But Chu Yan who had always listened to him now brushed his hands trying to hold him up. Seeing the firmness under his eyes, Ling Jingxuan could only withdraw his stiff hands. At this time, Yan Shengrui grabbed his hands, Ling Jingxuan turned around and saw that he slightly nodded at him. For this, he could only raise a smile and accept.
“Uncle Ling, Uncle Sheng, thank you for your care and teaching of me, these two months are the happiest time in my life, no matter where I’ll go in the future, I will firmly remember you. Today is your big day, this is a box of pearls from my father. Wish you a happy marriage!”
Seeing that they accepted, Chu Yan raised his head to look at them. While speaking, he slowly opened that wooden box, inside of which lay five egg-size and moonlight-white pearls. Only by looking at the size, one would know they were priceless. But instead of feeling joyful, Ling Jingxuan felt kind of sorry. Only a nine years old boy said things like the happiest time in his life? So he had already prepared that every day might be his last day. A prince, the legitimate son of the empress, even if it was an abolished one, he was still a decent legitimate son, but now lived in horror everyday. No one wouldn’t feel sorry for him.
“Yan’er, what are you talking about? As long as Uncle Ling is alive, I promise you’d live this as always. Thank you for your blessing. And the gift is accepted. Thank your father for us.”
Taking the wooden box from his hands, Ling Jingxuan made him his promise. Yan Shengrui couldn’t help picking his eyebrows, but Chu Yan didn’t get the meaning in his words, then got up under his support. No one had ever expected that the future young emperor would be made through today’s bless sending. Some day in the future, when Chu Yan climbed over the throne under Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan’s full support, he finally understood how heavy Ling Jingxuan’s words were today.
