……

the next morning,

Today is the first time Leng Yu has attended the morning court since he ascended the throne, so he got up early and is already ready.

Luo Lan adjusted his collar for him, and then said with a smile:

"You have a lot to announce today, but don't worry too much. If you can, just let go of some things and let Zhang Yuan and the others do it!"

"I know, but these generals under me will be dispersed this time. Some will stay in the military camp and some will stay in the palace. Who do you think is suitable to stay?"

Luo Lan pondered for a while and then said:

"Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan have already married, so naturally they are not suitable to stay in the palace. Ayu, Ahou, Xiao Ningzi, Xiaotanzi, you can keep these people as you please."

"Okay, if you say that, I will understand. Then I will keep Ayu and Xiaoningzi. Ahou and Xiaotanzi will work calmly. I can rest assured if they stay in the military camp. Ayu and Xiaoningzi will work more rudely. If they are by my side and I am always controlling them, they will be better off."

"Look at the arrangement."

"Ugh!"

Leng Yu let out a long sigh,

"It's a pity that the little twins left us, otherwise..."

At this point, he looked at Luo Lan,

"Be nice to Ah Cai. There is no shortage of girls in the palace now. Let's make her a female official. Don't make her too tired."

"Well, that's what I had in mind, and I wanted to hear your opinion."

Leng Yu raised his hand, pinched her cheek, and said affectionately:

"You are the master of the harem. All you need to do is tell me what you want to do. You don't need to ask for my opinion. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand, go to court quickly! Don't keep everyone waiting for too long."

"It's not too late to leave after a kiss."

"There are so many people here. Let's kiss again tonight."

Leng Yu looked at these palace ladies and shouted sharply:

"You are not allowed to look at it."

These girls all turned around obediently, and then Leng Yu forcibly kissed Luo Lan on the mouth.

Luo Lan's face suddenly turned red.

"I'm too old to be in shape."

"I'm only in my 30s, why am I so old? I feel like I'm in my prime now, hahaha."

With these words behind him, he turned around and walked out of the Yangxin Hall with long strides. Luo Lan also took Ah Hong back to bed and freshen up.

"emperor……"

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard a hoarse voice reaching his ears.

"Eunuch Liu, didn't I tell you that you don't have to get up early to serve me in court?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to say goodbye to you."

"Farewell? Where are you going?"

"This old slave is getting older and wants to retire and return to his hometown. I hope the emperor will give me permission."

Hearing this, Leng Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded,

"Okay, since you have this idea, I can't force you to stay. You can go to the treasury to get some money!"

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. No need. I have saved some money over the years, enough to go home and build a house and buy land."

Leng Yu looked at him with some reluctance,

"I know that your hometown is in the Lingnan area. It's a long way to go. I'll send someone to take you back."

Liu Xi hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"No need to send me away, my old slave is still strong. Just go back and find a coachman to take me back."

Listening to Liu Xi's hoarse voice, Leng Yu knew that he was deeply affected by the death of his father. He didn't want to stay in the palace because he didn't want to see things and miss people.

After pondering for a while, he nodded,

"Okay, please go in and talk to the Queen. She is thinking about you very much. It's getting late. I'll go to the morning court first."

"Go slowly, Your Majesty."

Leng Yu took long strides and walked towards the main hall. Liu Xi then walked towards the Yangxin Hall under the guidance of A Cai.

Ah Hong had just finished washing Luo Lan. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror with her gorgeous clothes and exquisite headdress, Luo Lan couldn't help but click her tongue.

"A Hong, do you remember? When you and A Cai first entered Prince Yu's Mansion, we couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing. Now we are sitting in the richest place in Daning Kingdom, enjoying the most noble treatment. However, this Why do you always feel uneasy in your heart?"

"My Lady, you are overthinking. You are the only one in the harem now, and it will be the same in the future. Why are you not at ease? If you have anything to do, just say a word and someone will break their legs to do it for you. I feel that you It’s just that you haven’t adapted to the life in this harem yet. Once you get used to it, you won’t have this uneasy feeling.”

Luo Lan pursed his lips and nodded.

"Maybe."

At this time, A Cai hurriedly walked in,

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu is here and waiting for you in the main hall."

"Eunuch Liu? He should know that the emperor went to the morning court?"

"He came to see you to say goodbye. He just said goodbye to the Emperor at the door."

"Farewell? Where is he going?"

"I said I was retiring from old age and returning home, and I came to say goodbye to you."

Hearing this, Luo Lan hurriedly got up and walked towards the main hall.

Eunuch Liu stood in the lobby of the Yangxin Hall, looking around, but his eyes were already starting to turn red.

He thought of how he had served the late emperor when he lived here. Every scene seemed to have happened just yesterday.

"Eunuch Liu, I heard that you are leaving?"

Luo Lan's voice interrupted his thoughts. He quickly raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears.

"Queen, this old slave is leaving, and I came here to say goodbye to you."

"Eunuch Liu, please stay here. You don't have to do anything. You can retire here?"

"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. I have been in the palace for decades. It's time for me to return to my roots and go back and take a look. After all, this is not my home!"

Luo Lan could understand Eunuch Liu's mood. He had served the late emperor for many years, and when the late emperor passed away, he could no longer find the purpose of staying in the palace.

She turned around and told Ah Hong:

"Go and get the banknote."

Seeing this, Eunuch Liu quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"Your Majesty, I have some savings, so you don't need to give me any money."

Luo Lan shook his head with reluctance.

"Eunuch Liu, I originally wanted to prepare something for you to take with you, but considering that it is inconvenient for you to carry it with you on the road, I just gave you a few banknotes as a token of my gratitude. You must not refuse, otherwise... …I feel bad.”

As he spoke, Ah Hong handed several banknotes to Luo Lan. Luo Lan stepped forward, stuffed them into Eunuch Liu's arms, and said with emotion:

"Eunuch Liu, over the years, you have worried a lot about me and Leng Yu, and you have been worried about us. No matter how much money I give you, it will not replace your love for us in the past. You must Take care, we will definitely visit you if we have the opportunity in the future."

Seeing that Luo Lan's words were true, Eunuch Liu did not refuse anymore. Instead, he stuffed the money into his sleeves, took a few steps back, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Luo Lan. Luo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Eunuch Liu, you can't, I can't bear it. You are the one who served the late emperor. The late emperor should respect you a little. How dare I, a junior, let you do such a great gift? Get up!"

Liu Xi sighed, nodded, stood up straight, cupped his hands and said:

"Queen, it's getting late. I would like to bid farewell to you. Please take care of yourself."

"Eunuch Liu, please take care of yourself. Your Majesty and I will visit you when we have the opportunity in the future."

Eunuch Liu shook his head and chuckled,

"Thank you for your grace."

After leaving these words, Eunuch Liu turned around and walked towards the outside of Yangxin Hall with heavy steps.

His back was a little stooped, and a little vicissitudes of life...
