The Blessed

Chapter 465



Inside the imperial study, Yan Shengzhi was seated in his high dragon seat, while Yan Shengrui who was still wearing that black armor was standing in the middle of the court majestically, like a god from heaven. The eunuchs and maids had been sent down, only the emperor's confidant Eunuch Zhang left, but at the moment, he only wished he could hide himself somewhere. His Majesty and His Highness Sheng got in a mental fight again, the weird and suffocating atmosphere made such a minor eunuch like him hard to breathe.

"I heard that Your Majesty still hasn't issued a decree to confer my wife his title?”

No one knew how long it had passed. Yan Shengrui broke the silence and his tiger eyes were staring at the one high up there. Is it possible that he thought he had turned from a tiger into a cat since he hadn’t been back for a whole year? How dare he ignore his memorials? Really thought he dare not act on impulse like when he was young?

"Is that why you pulled me away from the palace banquet?"

Yan Shengzhi’s face looked no better. The generals entered the palace to accept their rewards, he, too, promised that he would enjoy some drinks with them. But as he had just proposed a toast to them, Yan Shengrui came in and dragged him away, totally not caring about his dignity as the emperor. If it was some urgent military affair, it would be fine. But it was just a decree about conferring a title? And for a demon-like farmer? Did he still take him as the emperor?

"Otherwise?"

With a smile in his unruly eyes, Yan Shengrui sat down in a chair and took a sip of his tea. For him, this was the biggest thing at the moment.

"Bang~"

"You…"

Yan Shengzhi patted on the dragon table in front, staring ruthlessly at him. Is that the attitude he should hold to him?

"Imperial elder brother, calm down. Didn’t you always say you wish that I can get married as soon as possible? Now I am married according as you wished, so about the imperial decree, I hope you can approve it it as early as possible and make us legal.”

Facing his anger, Yan Shengrui put down the teacup quietly. If he insisted on buckling his memorial, he really didn't mind doing it himself, but, the result wouldn’t be like they wanted to see. Anyone who dare deny his princess was his enemy, including one sitting up there!

“But he is a farmer! And a monster!”

Yan Shengzhi nearly squeezed out those words through his teeth. He wouldn’t oppose if he wanted to marry a man, no, he could say he was happy with it. But the problem is, that man’s status is too low, and a man who could give birth? If he really conferred him as his first wife, where to put the face of the imperial family? How would they have the face to unify the whole world?

"What's wrong with a farmer? Soldiers, farmers, workers and businessmen, farmers rank the second place! Besides, he is a tongsheng title, a scholar! If he is not like a monster, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen for him!”

Of course, the monster in his eyes was not like that monster Yan Shengzhi called. Thinking of his honey wife, Yan Shengrui showed a faint smile, but instantly turned majestic again, “You couldn’t find a second man who could give birth! Don’t you think that is my blessing?”

“A blessing?”

Yan Shengzhi got so mad. So he felt pleased with that?

"Isn't it? Even you aren’t that lucky. See? Now I got my wife and kids. What a perfect family?”

The madder he got, the more thrilled Yan Shengrui felt. His seemingly unserious tone was mixed with some challenge against the imperial authority and his deep affections to Ling Jingxuan and their kids. Yan Shengrui could barely utter a word, only pointing at him with his trembling hand. Like Yan Shengrui thought he was not mad enough, he felt out another memorial and handed it over.

"Since you have acquiesced, how about approve another memorial of me? You don’t have to bother issuing the decree. I will bring it back myself. As for the rewards, I hope you can send it to my mansion later.”

Look how considerate he said, holding the paper, Grandpa Zhang shivered every step, and finally put the paper on the dragon table.

Even thinking with his butt, he knew it would never be something good. But under his eyes, Yan Shengzhi could only abuse himself and flipped it open after throwing him a hard stare. When he saw clearly what was on it, he breaths became in chaos. It asked him to confer his sons the title. The problem is he even asked him to confer his second son and little son Yan Xiaowu and Yan Xiaoling the dukes! Of course, not including those who had special contributions to the court. Like Yan Xiaohua Duke Hua who married the third prince of West Kingdom as his first wife for the kingdom. He sacrificed himself for the peace of the West Kingdom and Qing Kingdom! It was only justifiable. But his sons were still so small. What contributions did they make? On what ground would he ask him to confer them the title? The worst thing was, except his blood sons, he even asked him to confer his adoptive son Zhao Tiesheng! Is he trying to drive him crazy?

"You…how dare you show me this? Shengrui, there must be a limit to your being unreasonable!"

Yan Shengzhi’s hand that was holding the memorial was shaking like a chicken claw, mouth even got slanted due to the great anger, by contrast, Yan Shengzhi looked inexplicitly calm. Originally he only intended to ask for a title for Wen. But he asked for it! Why didn’t he approve of the memorial of conferring the title of his wife! Since he was so unkind, don’t blame his rudeness.

"Do I look like I am being unreasonable?"

After straightening out his clothes, Yan Shengrui slowly raised his eyes, his trademark peach-blossom eyes reflecting tyranny light, “Imperial elder brother, better approve of it. A wife should put her husband in the first place, and a father should provide shelter to his son. I have done so much for the kingdom, it’s just justifiable that you should confer two duke title and a knight title for my sons. Before, you kept nagging that why I wouldn’t get married and have kids. Now I am married and have my kids, while you keep my memorials in stock. Is it possible actually you don’t want me to get married and have kids at all?”

He had shown him enough face. Instead of wasting time with him here, he'd rather go home and spend time with his wife and children. Having been apart for not long though, he already missed them.

"Nonsense! How is that possible? Shengrui, I will ask you one last time. Are you really going to marry that monster as your first wife?”

Yan Shengzhi felt a little perplexed since he revealed that dark side in his heart. So he could only giving up wrestling with him. He could marry him if he liked! The worst scenario was he could grant him a few more side concubines. Later, he’d ask mother to see if those big families had some suitable single daughters. Just a farmer! Even though he might be a little smart, he would never be the rival of those women who had stood out from the years’ harem fight. Then, if that farmer died, it had nothing to do with them.

Thinking like this, Yan Shengzhi felt a little relieved, but…

"Not my first wife, but the only wife!"
