Chapter 10 (1/2)

Ling Tian almost laughed; he finally heard the cla.s.sic script line.

In his past life, he was pulled by his sisters to watch a few different dramas, especially those of the Qing dynasty. There was always an official crying out like that. As such, the most memorable thing Ling Tian had about those shows was the phrase, ”The emperor has arrived!” He thought that he wouldn't be able to hear it anymore after entering a different world! Who would have thought that it would still be shouted out in reality? Ling Tian could not help but think to himself, Don't tell me this line also came to this world with me?

As everyone stood up to receive him, a man who looked about 30 years old dressed in a yellow robe walked in front. He had an average-sized figure and showed signs of putting on weight. His nose and mouth were lifted with an aura of n.o.bility surrounding him. Beside him, there were two beautiful ladies dressed extravagantly. Standing beside each other, they each had their own separate kind of beauty.

Ling Tian knew that one of the two was his own aunt. With a single glance, he was able to immediately identify her. Perhaps, it could be said that he was able to do so even before looking. The lady to the right of the emperor who emitted a chilly and irritable aura was definitely not his own aunt. The lady to the left of the emperor who had a friendly aura and was beaming with excitement to rush over was definitely his aunt, Consort Ling Ran.

After paying greetings to everyone, Ling Ran ignored her status as a consort and ran over, s.n.a.t.c.hing Ling Tian from Chu Ting'er's bosom. The next instant, Ling Tian's face was full of saliva from her kisses, ”Hahaha, little thing, you're finally not asleep! Aunt has come over to check on you a few times but you were always asleep like a pig. I say, little thing, were you born in the year of the pig in your previous life? Stupid little pig, fragrant little pig, aunt's Ling Tian piggy... Hahaha…”

Ling Tian broke out in sweat! This aunt of mine is really so... valiant! To think that she has come to see me a few times already. What a pity that I have always been asleep...

”Hahaha, sister-in-law, this little child is so fragrant. He is such a cute little piggy! He is just too beautiful to death! Ah! No no no, I can't say death! Let aunt kiss you again!” Ling Tian stared at his overly enthusiastic aunt with anger. Aunt, although I am your nephew, I am not a clump of dough. It hurts to be rubbed all over by you, you know?

”Haha, since younger sister loves to have a son so much, you should find the time to have one with the emperor. Then you will be able to play with him all day, hahaha.” Chu Ting'er teased Ling Ran softly.

”Ah, sister-in-law, you're being annoying. Little Tian, hahaha, you're so fair. This aunt just can't get enough of you. Brother, look at little Tian Tian's eyes. Wow, he has double eyelids. Also, also, his face is just so comfortable to rub... Ah, what are you doing? Quickly return him to me!” Ling Xiao could not bear to see his son get bullied by Ling Ran like that and s.n.a.t.c.hed his son back. Then, he scolded sternly, ”You are already a consort; how can you be so unrestrained without bearing your image in mind? Can't you be more refined? You better be careful that the emperor doesn't divorce you! What? Let you hug him for a while longer? My son's face would be all bruised by you if I were to allow that!”

A yellow-dressed figure then walked in front of Ling Tian and said, ”Haha, how would I do that? Ran'er's temperament is just naturally so lively. After so many years, she is still as lively and innocent as ever. We really like him. Hahaha, come little boy, let your uncle give you a hug.” Following the gentle voice, Ling Tian felt that he was in the arms of another person. He then opened his eyes and looked carefully at the emperor's face as though he was extremely curious. In actual fact, Ling Tian could see the expressions hidden under the emperor's eyes extremely clearly. [1]

This was the advantage a child had. Facing a one-year-old child, everyone's guard would inevitably be reduced greatly, revealing the thoughts which they would usually hide completely. After all, even if the one-year-old baby was a genius, just what would he be able to understand?

But no one would ever guess that Ling Tian actually had a mental age of 26 years old! At this moment, Ling Tian could see the complicated look in the emperor's eyes. There were a few elements of joy, worry and contradiction. Plenty of emotions flashed by his eyes and they were all committed to Ling Tian's memory.

Following which, another pair of fair hands hugged Ling Tian. Those were the hands of the empress who had been standing behind the emperor. Ling Tian knew that the empress, Yang Xue, was the precious daughter of the Yang family head, Yang KongQun. This lady was also the person he wanted to meet the most after he knew that someone wanted to poison his mother and him! Ling Tian then lifted his head and observed this lady closely.

Unsurprisingly, this empress lowered her head as though she was only focused on teasing Ling Tian who was in her arms. But from Ling Tian's angle, he was able to see a hidden coldness in her heart together with a deep hatred and worry! However, she was still able to betray her heart and said, ”Emperor, take a look at how cute this child is!”

Ling Tian's face turned cold. This lady is definitely related to that event! She is definitely going to be a trouble eventually! Now that I have not grown up yet and am still unable to protect myself, it would be best for me to find a way to restrain her. I must definitely restrain her power!

Very quickly, a cunning smile appeared on his face; Ling Tian had an idea. As though he was mumbling something, he stretched out both his hands, with one of them grabbing a strand of hair by her cheek and the other pinching the jade peaks right in front of him. At the same time, he struggled and bit down…

”AH!!” An ear-piercing shriek sounded and the empress let go both of her hands. One of her hands reached out to her hair while the other to her chest. As for Ling Tian, his small body began falling to the floor. The surface of the hall was made of solid limestone. Everyone then began to exclaim and Chu Ting'er almost fainted from shock.

While many words would be required to describe the scene, it all happened in an instant. Ling Ran who was the nearest had rushed forward, saving the small Ling Tian right before he fell onto the floor.
