Chapter 1484: One Generation Lower
Yuwen Longyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
Did they have to be so obvious?
Yuwen Longyan then laughed at Lin Yuelan," You little girl! In the whole world, only you dare to speak to me like this!"
Lin Yuelan stuck out her tongue and said," What I said is the truth!"
Yuwen Longyan no longer denied it and said," Alright, then I admit that I came for your culinary skills. Are you happy now?"
Lin Yuelan nodded and said," Yes, that's more like it!"
Liu Jiaying had been watching Lin Yuelan and His Majesty getting along so easily with a stiff expression. There was admiration in her eyes, as well as envy.
Sister Lin actually dared to speak to His Majesty like this. She was really amazing!
Now that she saw His Majesty, her legs went weak!
Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying and said," Sister Ying, don't be afraid of this old emperor. Just treat him as an elder like your Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Zhang!"
Yuwen Longyan had also heard that Lin Yuelan was very protective of her good friend.
He nodded and said," That's right, Ying girl. Just treat me as an elder like your Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Zhang. Then you can call me, uh, Grandpa Emperor! In any case, this Lan girl calls this emperor an old man every day! She is my adopted daughter, and she doesn't even call me godfather!"
Lin Deshan frowned and asked in confusion," Girl, is there a mistake in seniority? You're my granddaughter, and His Majesty has become your foster father. As for His Majesty and I…" They were sworn brothers again. Wasn't this hierarchy a little messy?
Yuwen Longyan was stunned by Lin Deshan's reminder.
Back then, he wanted to make it easier for Lin Yuelan to deal with the Duke's estate. He also wanted Lin Yuelan to have a legitimate reason to stay by Jiang Zhennan's side. He was also anxious to get Lin Yuelan to work for him.
At that time, he wanted to adopt Lin Yuelan as his daughter.
Now that Lin Yuelan said this, he remembered that he, Lin Deshan, and Doctor Zhang were brothers in Taoyuan Village.
Yuwen Longyan immediately said, "This..."
For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said," Grandpa, it's nothing. Even if you're brothers, you're not biological brothers. Just call me whatever you want!" She didn't want to be too conflicted about these terms.
Besides, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. No matter how much she struggled, it was useless!
The fact that she was the old emperor's adopted daughter had long been announced to the world when she was conferred the title of princess of the country. It had already become an unchangeable fact!
Unless she made her grandfather and the others lower in seniority than the Emperor.
But in reality, it was His Majesty who was one generation lower than them.
Of course, this was actually nothing.
Lin Deshan thought for a moment and immediately said in a somewhat conflicted manner, "This…" This was still a mess.
Yuwen Longyan said," Brother Lin, why do you worry? Just like what Lan girl said, it was really nothing. The girl can call me whatever she wants! As for between us, who would dare to say anything? See if I don't chop off his head!"
Lin Deshan laughed. "It's this commoner's fault."
When Yuwen Longyan heard him call himself a commoner, he frowned unhappily and said," Brother Lin, you're… Have you become distant from me? We're already brothers and friends. What commoner? Don't you treat me as a brother?"
Lin Deshan said hesitantly," But, Your Majesty…" After all, there was a difference in seniority!
In the past, they didn't know that he was the emperor, but now that they knew that he was the emperor, how could they lose their manners in front of him?
Yuwen Longyan pretended to be unhappy and said," What? Just because I'm the ruler of a country, you can't treat me as a friend?"
Lin Yuelan understood Yuwen Longyan's loneliness when he was in a high position. It wasn't easy for him to have two true friends. How could he pull apart the distance between them just because of his identity?
Lin Yuelan smiled and said," That's enough, old emperor. You can call us whatever you want in private. As for when we're in the public, you should know what to do. Otherwise, if outsiders knew that you were one generation lower than Grandpa and the others, even if they didn't say anything in front of you, they would definitely criticize Grandpa and the others in secret."
"Let's see who dares!" Yuwen Long glared and said in a dignified manner.
"Alright, everyone is here. I'll get someone to bring the food up!" Lin Yuelan said.
