Chapter 102: First Encounter

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Si Yuhan had grown heavier, too heavy for him to carry for a long time.

Ke Ruan sat down on the bed, held Si Yuhan into his arms, and turned over to put him in the inner side of the bed.

He gently patted Si Yuhan on his hand. “Be good, let go of it. You won’t be comfortable if your hand is pressed down.”

Si Yuhan didn’t respond.

Ke Ruan continued, “I will hold you, let go of your hand.”

Si Yuhan moved but he didn’t release his hand. Ke Ruan sighed and reached out to hug him, “I’m holding you. Let go of your hand, be a good boy and go to sleep.”

Rubbing against Ke Ruan’s chest, he finally let go of his hand.

Ke Ruan patted him on the back gently. “Sleep tight. I’m with you.”

The unique scent of ambrin from his body could be smelt. Si Yuhan’s knitted eyebrows gradually loosened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As long as Ke Ruan was by his side, Si Yuhan could sleep well.

When did this start?

Because Ke Ruan needed to go to court, he got up very early and moved carefully so as not to wake him up.

In the morning, Ke Zhan was afraid that Ke Ruan’s good behaviors were nothing but a gimmick and he would reveal his true colors in the court. He had long instructed Lin Qingye to watch over him, and he himself was staring at him all the time in court.

However, he never expected that his good-for-nothing son neither mess around, nor put forward a lot of pertinent suggestions.

He even challenged Chancellor several times, well-matched.

This was really gratifying, and worth congratulating.

Hence, all the civil and military ministers could feel that this day His Majesty was in a particularly good mood. As to the changes of His Highness, naturally, they caused the dismay of some and the delight of others.

After morning court, Ke Ruan was finally relieved. Going to court was really tiring.

He stretched lazily while Lin Qingye followed him, whose burning gaze fixed on him. Your Highness’ performance was much better than he imagined.

“Your Highness,” an old voice came from behind him.

Ke Ruan froze, pretending to put down his hand casually and looked at Chancellor in his best posture.

Speaking of which, this was their first formal encounter.

Even though Chancellor had a smile on his face, Ke Ruan, who was familiar with the imperial duel drama, could easily tell that the message delivered from his eyes was to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and pull out his tendon.

Since it was their first encounter, Ke Ruan naturally couldn’t fall into a disadvantage. With a noble smile on his face, he asked, “Is there anything you need, Lord Chancellor?”

Traces of venom flashed across Yan’s dim eyes. As long as he saw Ke Ruan’s face, he could think of his baby son’s death.

Why on earth should the throne be handed over to this loser?

With merely one look and one greeting, loads of thoughts went through their mind.

“Your Highness’ performance today was very good. His Majesty is very gratified. The ministers are also very happy to see such a prince.”

Ke Ruan raised his eyebrows. “Really? So, are you happy? ”

“Of course I am happy too.”

Ke Ruan nodded and said with a faint smile, “In the past, I was too impetuous, and made Chancellor worry too much. This trip to Yu Liang County has indeed made me grow up a lot.”

Chancellor’s expression froze. At this, the smile on Ke Ruan’s face became bigger. Old bogyman! As a new youth from the 21st century, who had stayed up late to read novels, to deal with such a treacherous minister, little case.
