Chapter 486: Thorough InvestigationChapter 891: Choosing a Character

Guan Zhiwei, as the Right Servant Minister of the Ministry of Works, even if he was poor, would still have a sedan chair to take him to and from work as a benefit provided by the imperial court, so this was something that wouldn't be spared.

Only when Zhuang Zhiwei got out of the car and saw Li Chen and Sān Bǎo standing at his doorstep did the shock on his face become apparent.

"Lord, my Lord!"

After the shock, Guan Zhiwei hurried over to bow.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "I often go out of the palace in plain clothes, no need for formalities."

Guan Zhiwei forcefully straightened his bent waist and asked Li Chen in confusion, "Lord, to which part of my humble home do you wish to go"

"Come on in, shouldn't we welcome guests" Li Chen said with a smile.

Guan Zhiwei's face was full of surprise and delight. He hurriedly said, "This is a great honor for me. I am overjoyed! Open the door, quickly open the door! Open the main gate!"

Upon Guan Zhiwei's order, the entire Guan residence was thrown into chaos.

Li Chen usually dressed plainly, deliberately avoiding the airs of a prince. Therefore, Guan Zhiwei did not tell his family about Li Chen's identity. However, this did not prevent the Guan family members from showing him great respect and courtesy out of awe for the young man who seemed to be their master.

Li Chen stepped into Guan's mansion, finding the courtyard to be rather small and its furnishings unremarkable.

"I thought Xu Changqing's family was already quite poor, but it seems your family isn't doing much better either."

Li Chen looked at the furniture, which had faded with age, and said.

Guan Zhiwei's expression was a bit awkward. He quickly said, "I don't mind these things. Plain food and drink are enough to satisfy me. As for furniture and chairs, it doesn't matter if they are used or not."

"Is that so"

Li Chen responded with a half-smile, then saw a four or five-year-old boy with pigtails and found it interesting. He touched the boy's pigtails and said, "Is this your son"

Guanzhiwei said with doting affection, "Your Highness, it is my son."

"As a humble minister, I have been married for many years but have never had children. Only a few years ago did my wife finally conceive, giving me this one and only child."

"Not bad."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Having a child late in life is also a fortunate event."

Guan Zhiwei still couldn't figure out why Li Chen had suddenly come to his house. However, as he spoke, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Your Highness, I have a request."

Li Chen was still teasing the little doll. Unexpectedly, Guan Zhiwei didn't look that good, but his son was carved out of pink and jade, quite cute. And since he was young, he didn't know how to be respectful. He interacted with Li Chen giggling, making Li Chen feel more interesting than adults.

"Although my son has gained fame, he still lacks a name. Your Highness, would you be kind enough to bestow upon him a name This would be both the greatest fortune for a humble servant like myself and a blessing for our family and my son."

Upon hearing Guan Zhiwei's request, Li Chen gave him a glance and said, "You know how to climb up the pole."

What's his real name

Guan Zhiwen saw Li Chen didn't refuse and immediately beamed with joy, quickly saying: "My son's name is Shan Yue, Guan Shan Yue. The humble minister hopes he has a steady and profound personality, just like a mountain, capable of accomplishing great things."

"Mountains and rivers."

Li Chen savored the name for a moment, then nodded. "It's a good name."

As for the words.

Li Chen changed the subject and smiled, "I'm having dinner here with you today. After dinner, I'll give this child a name as payment."

Guan Zhiwei was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness. I will immediately instruct the servants... no, I will have my wife prepare a meal right away."d no one would dare to make a commotion here, all for our safety!"Another prominent figure involved in the waterways business grumbled, his face etched with displeasure.Since ancient times, waterway t...
