Chapter 347 How about we make a bet?



"If I had known I should have brought my older brother along, how could he have missed such a good opportunity?"

Xiao Chengyun reached out and pointed at Lin Chang'an.

"Do you think everyone is like you, all you do is play all day?"

“Brother Rui’an is about to take the imperial examination in the spring, so he will definitely prioritize his studies.”

Lin Chang'an stuck out his tongue.

After the carriage entered the palace gates, it stopped at the front court.

The four of them got off the carriage, and the Regent carried Lin Wanwan towards the Imperial Study.

Many court officials were both surprised and delighted upon seeing this.

It's been quite a while now, what's going on between the Regent and Ye Lanyin?

They spent a lot of money to have matchmakers come to their door to propose marriage to the regent.

I hope Ye Lanyin won't let them down.

"Regent Prince An."

"I hope the Regent is well."

"Greetings to the Regent."

...

His courtiers would bow and hurry away as they passed by, fearing that he might take a liking to their daughters.

The Holy Emperor had been waiting in the Imperial Study for quite some time.

He had made an appointment with Lin Wanwan last time to have her draw a summoning talisman again today. He had already given her a heads-up when the envoys came to pay their respects yesterday.

Although they were ridiculed by several countries, they didn't dare to be too arrogant.

"Wanwan, quick, let me hug you." The Holy Emperor opened his arms, ready to hug Lin Wanwan.

Unexpectedly, the regent turned around and stepped aside.

"Royal brother, what are you doing?" the Holy Emperor asked, somewhat displeased.

The Regent composed himself and said calmly, "Lanyin entrusted the child to me, so I must take good care of her."

The Holy Emperor was stunned for a moment.

He just gave me a hug; it's not like we're fighting a war.

"I...I just wanted to hug you!"

"You...you...you're going too far!"

This younger brother of the emperor, how come he's become such a different person after he fell in love with someone?

I actually argued with him?

"When have I gone too far? Is it wrong for me to be loyal to someone who has entrusted me with a task?"

The Holy Emperor was so angry he almost vomited blood.

What kind of logic is this?

When asked to help review memorials, he avoided him like the plague and moved to another courtyard.

Now I want to hold the child, but he won't let me?

Don't forget, he got to where he is today entirely thanks to his own and Xiao Chengyun's secret help!

"Uncle~"

Just then, Lin Wanwan reached out her hand and beckoned to the Holy Emperor, who was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

At the crucial moment, Lin Wanwan came through.

He gave the regent a cold snort.

"See? Wanwan needs me!"

He then reached out to hug Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan placed her small hand on the Emperor's hand, and all her wet drool got onto it.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Emperor embraced her without any hesitation.

"Wanwan, sit here."

He plopped down and moved the dragon throne to a larger position for Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan chuckled and sat down.

[I'm the only one who sat on the dragon throne at the age of one.]

【Ha ha ha ha……】

The heads of the group went blank, and they were so frightened that they almost lost their footing.

Indeed, it's only you!

Eunuch Wang had already bribed Lin Chang'an with a lot of toys and food.

Right now, she and Xiao Chengyun are sitting quietly in the corner, playing some new tricks.

He paid no attention to what Lin Wanwan was doing.

The Holy Emperor picked up the pen specially made for her from the table and put it into Lin Wanwan's hand.

"Wanwan, do you remember what we agreed on last time? We'd draw a summoning talisman today."

The little guy seemed to understand but not quite, and he scribbled something on the paper with his head down.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Emperor held the treasure in his arms as if it were a precious gem.

"Oh my, Wanwan, you are truly my lucky star."

"Once your mother agrees to marry the Regent, I will bestow upon you a grand title, how about that?"

Hmm, could that be even higher than the Marquis of Zhenbei?

Will he kneel down when he sees me?

The little guy shook his head, looking thoughtful.

"Is it big?" she asked, pouting.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor beamed with joy.

"Your Excellency, even Prime Minister Jiang would kneel before you."

"Wow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an excitedly ran over and tried to sit on the dragon throne.

"Uncle Emperor, did I? The Marquis of Zhenbei is going too far! I'll make him kneel before me, hmph!"

“In the past, I couldn’t break the rules because he was my father, but the rank you gave me is different; it’s perfectly legitimate.”

The Holy Emperor's claws slowly pushed Lin Chang'an away from the dragon throne.

"Go away, go away! If a man wants merit, he should earn it himself. Do you think I'll give it to him?"

"You're not a real prince, nor am you my nephew, so why should I give it to you?"

The Holy Emperor looked disgusted.

It's like they're crossing the river and then burning the bridge.

Lin Chang'an was stunned.

Your Majesty wasn't like this before.

He said he considered the palace his own home and himself a member of it.

Oh dear, I've been scammed again!!

"Your Majesty, many envoys have arrived. Would you like to go with the Empress?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor picked up Lin Wanwan and headed towards the door.

Throughout the entire process, the regent was ignored.

Lin Wanwan wondered why the Holy Emperor treated that paper like a treasure.

He scratched his head, but still couldn't figure it out.

Soon, the masters from all over set off for the Golden Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs lined up in long queues, following behind in an orderly fashion.

The Emperor and Empress entered the hall one after the other, and the once bustling Golden Palace instantly fell silent. Everyone stood up and bowed deeply to the Emperor and Empress.

"Greetings to His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress."

The Holy Emperor waved his hand, "Sit down, all of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Because it was a summoning ceremony, the banquet disrupted the usual order.
