"Don't tell your mother."
Ye Wuhen looked at the five-year-old Lu Chen in front of him in silence for a while, but finally did not deny it, but just made a mild threat.
"Godfather, you are so miserable." Lu Chen said these particularly heartbreaking words with a faint expression.
Ye Wuhen felt even more upset. Is this kid really only five years old? Is he really not fifteen?
Seeing that he was in a sad mood, Lu Chen said in a childish voice, "Godfather, if you want to cry, I can lend you my shoulder temporarily."
Ye Wuhen: “…”
Ye Wuhen looked at him seriously, and after making sure that he was not joking, he suddenly laughed, stretched out his hands and pinched his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to cry?"
Lu Chen frowned slightly, slapped his hand away, puffed his cheeks slightly and said, "Then just hold it in."
Seeing this, Ye Wuhen chuckled, "Little ghost, I don't think I'm miserable. If you like someone, you don't have to own her."
"You only say that if you can't have it."
Ye Wuhen choked...
"If you can have it, who doesn't want to have the person they love?" Lu Chen said it in one sentence.
Ye Wuhen was left speechless by his rebuttal, and felt that the little devil in front of him was terrifyingly insightful.
He sighed quietly, yes, who wouldn’t want to have it?
Lu Chen felt that he had said everything he wanted to say, so he picked up the chess piece again, "Godfather, you go, I want to continue playing chess."
"Huh! You want to chase me away after you've found out the enemy's situation? I won't leave."
"what ever."
Ye Wuhen felt powerless. He clenched his fists and really wanted to beat up the kid in front of him.
At this time, the laughter of a young lady came from a distance.
Ye Wuhen suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the prince wants to marry his daughter to you."
The prince currently has two daughters, one born out of wedlock and one born to a legitimate wife. The illegitimate daughter is four years old, while the legitimate daughter is only three years old.
The one who is worthy of Lu Chen is naturally the legitimate daughter.
Lu Chen paused and looked up at him. His expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little more impatient. "So what?"
Ye Wuhen raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will inherit the throne, then you may become the prince consort."
"Mother and father would not let me marry a princess, and I don't want to either."
Ye Wuhen became interested and continued to tease him, "That little baby is so cute and lovely, very lovable."
Lu Chen put down the chess piece and looked at Ye Wuhen seriously, "Godfather, I'm only five years old, don't you think you shouldn't tell me this?"
Ye Wuhen was speechless for a moment after hearing this. So you still know that you are only five years old?
So why do you know so much?
Lu Chen saw that he was speechless and snorted, "I will decide my own marriage, I don't need anyone else to arrange it."
Ye Wuhen was amused by his little adult appearance, "Okay, you have backbone, worthy of being Jiang Yueyang's son."
In fact, when Donggong expressed his desire to get married, Jiang Yueyang politely refused.
Ye Wuhen mentioned this matter deliberately just to make things difficult for Lu Chen, since his words just now were so hurtful.
Gradually, the sun set in the west and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
A group of infants also followed their parents away one after another, only the second prince was unwilling to return to the palace.
He was seen playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand and asked, "Lu Chen, Lu Heng, would you please come to the palace and be my study companions?"
"Not good." The two brothers answered in unison.
"Why?"
The two brothers didn't reply, but just silently looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand that he had been turning for a long time but couldn't restore it.
Ye Wuhen tried to hold back his laughter. These two little brats were so annoying!
The second grandson of the emperor inexplicably understood the meaning in their eyes and said angrily: "The master said I am very smart!"
"Not enough." Lu Chen was ruthless.
Lu Heng was better. He didn't say anything hurtful. He just silently took the Rubik's Cube from his hand and restored it in no time.
The second grandson snorted at the two of them, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. I will definitely surpass you!"
After saying this, he stood up and was about to leave.
After only two steps, Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting, who was holding their daughter, came in with the Crown Prince.
The three of them heard the second grandson's last words, but none of them took it to heart because they had heard such words more than once.
The Crown Prince put his hands behind his back and said, "Second brother, follow me back to the palace."
The second grandson walked over obediently, and when he saw the baby in Lu Yunting's arms, he couldn't help but tiptoe, "I want to see my sister."
Lu Yunting bent down to show him.
The little girl has round eyes, smiling eyebrows, and is soft and cute.
The second grandson gently held the little girl's hand, his face full of love, "She is so beautiful."
"Yeah, I think so too." Jiang Yueyang was not humble at all.
Then, the two brothers looked at Jiang Yueyang and said, "Aunt Yongle, Prince Linyuan, we will return to the palace first."
Jiang Yueyang nodded to them and looked at her two sons, "Chen'er, Heng'er, see the two princes off."
Lu Chen and Lu Heng followed his instructions and walked outside with the two of them.
＊＊＊
Spring went and autumn came, and seven years passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Chen and Lu Heng, who were less than twelve years old, were admitted to the Imperial Academy without any effort.
If Kong Jijiu had not prevented them from taking the exam for fear of discouraging other students taking the exam and those currently studying, they would have entered the Imperial Academy when they were nine years old.
In September of the same year, Emperor Yuan announced his abdication, the crown prince ascended the throne, a general amnesty was issued, and the crown prince was named the crown prince.
In addition, before Emperor Yuan abdicated, he established the post of chief minister and appointed Jiang Yueyang as the chief minister of the cabinet, ranking at the same level as all officials.
Jiang Yueyang has the same power as the Left Prime Minister, the difference is that her appointment and dismissal are decided by the emperor without going through the three provinces and six ministries.
To a certain extent, she and Xie Xu are both loyal ministers, but she will not blindly obey the emperor's orders.
If the emperor is unkind, she will never be loyal to him.
Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fade, but Jiang Yueyang's career as an official continues...
