Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Hearing these two words, Xingnan felt her head suddenly feel dizzy. She asked eagerly,

"Where did he go?"

"He took the initiative to request an order and went to work outside the palace."

Xingnan was so angry that he kept beating the quilt with his fists and cursed angrily:

"He just avoided me on purpose. He went too far, too far."

Seeing that Xingnan was getting angry, Ah Hong immediately leaned over and said:

"This slave is still in a hurry to go back and resume his duties. Please say goodbye."

After leaving these words, she turned around and came to the door. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked towards the door.

Fengyi Palace

A Cai had just served dinner, Leng Yu took the bowl and chopsticks, put a piece of meat to Luo Lan's mouth,

"Madam, if you eat more meat, you will grow more meat."

"Mr., I can just eat it by myself. My legs are only injured, but my hands are not injured."

"It's rare that I'm free today. Just give me this chance. Be good and open your mouth."

Luo Lan had no choice but to open her mouth and eat in small bites.

Seeing her eating with gusto, Leng Yu smiled with satisfaction,

"Lan'er, you don't have to pretend to be sick now. I'm thinking that if I take Lele and Yicheng into the palace to see you tomorrow, these two children will be as anxious as a butt monkey at home."

"Okay, Lele has been quite lonely these days. It's just a good time for them to get together. Later, you can ask the imperial kitchen to cook something delicious for them and let them stay in the palace for two days!"

"Okay, by the way, there is a flood in Mianzhou, and Lengxi has asked me to go there to provide relief. I may not be able to come back in a few years. I was thinking, do you want to talk to An'an? Ask An An to forgive him?"

Luo Lan swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head in embarrassment.

"I mentioned this to An An a few days ago, and she was very resistant. Now that she has her own ideas and perceptions, let's not impose our ideas on her. If Leng Xi is really willing to be a Yixin As a member of the imperial court, I believe An An will gradually accept him."

"Well, let's not force her. Let's let this matter go for now!"

At this moment, Ah Hong walked in quickly,

"Your Majesty, your Majesty."

"What did Qixia Palace say?"

"My servant has not seen Princess Yongping. It is said that she has gone out to do business. Princess Xingnan immediately vetoed it. She did not agree to marry to Prince Ming's Mansion."

Leng Yu seemed to have expected it and nodded.

"I understand, you go to eat first! I'm here to guard the queen."

Ah Hong and Ah Cai hurriedly bowed and saluted together.

"The slaves retire."

Seeing them both retreating, Luo Lan waved his hand and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Ms., I'm full, you can eat by yourself."

Leng Yu put the bowl on the table, sat down next to her again, held her in his arms, shook his head gently,

"I'm not hungry, let's talk!"

Luo Lan frowned slightly in confusion.

"Is there anything on your mind, sir?"

"Yes! Too many things have happened inside and outside the imperial court recently. I feel very tired. Sometimes I think about how great it would be if we could take our children to live in a place with mountains and rivers. ah!"

"Your Majesty, are you giving in again? The country of Daning cannot tolerate such thoughts."

"I know, the burden on me is very heavy. I just want to chat with you for a few words. By the way, let me massage your legs. Didn't you say that this will help the blood circulation in your legs and be good for your wounds? Is recovery beneficial?”

"Ms. sir, your hands are used to handle national affairs. How can you use them for such a trivial matter as pressing my legs? Ah Hong has already done so for me during the day."

Leng Yu reluctantly changed his sitting position, pulled her legs over and placed them on his own, massaging them gently while looking at her lovingly.

This scene made Luo Lan feel dazed for a moment. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how great it would be if they could really live like ordinary people one day!

……

the next morning,

Ming Wang Mansion

The emperor's edict of rejection of marriage arrived at Prince Ming's Mansion in the morning. Mrs. Chang took the edict from Eunuch Qin with a pale face and smiled bitterly with red eyes.

"If I had known this, why would I have bothered so much? This is really... I'm really shooting myself in the foot!"

Qin Shun looked at her and curled his lips.

"I heard that Prince Ming is missing. Madam, you have to send someone to look for him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be too late to regret."

With these disdainful words, Qin Shun turned around and left with a group of young eunuchs.

Xiaotao stepped forward, helped Chang up, and comforted softly:

"Old lady, let's go back to the house!"

"Xiao Tao, did you hear the meaning of the imperial edict? Princess Xingnan didn't take our Prince Ming's Mansion seriously at all. I'm still waiting expectantly for the emperor's edict of marriage. Do you think I'm extremely confused? ?”

"Old madam, you...you are not confused, you are also doing this for the prince's benefit."

"I'm doing it for him? But he doesn't appreciate it at all. Now I don't know where to go to hide in peace, leaving me alone as an old woman to guard this dilapidated home. By the way, Xiaotao, do you think I've been raped by that woman Li Taifei again? Did you harm me? What she gave me was a bad idea, right?"

Xiao Tao tightened her lips and shook her head, "I don't know."

"No, I'm going to settle the score with her. This woman has been hurting me all her life. She's still coming to hurt me when she's old. Her heart is really vicious."

"Old madam, please don't go. If you do, you will inevitably get angry."

"No, I have to go, Xiaotao, change my clothes, take out my most beautiful long skirt, and dress it up for me. By the way, where are my pair of jade hairpins, put them on for me... …”

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to walk into the room. Since she was going to find Concubine Li, she couldn't be too shabby and couldn't let her see the joke.

Xiwangfu

Concubine Li just found out about Leng Xi's request to go to Mianzhou to provide disaster relief. She came to Leng Xi's study, looked at Leng Xi who was leisurely drinking tea, and asked angrily,

"Why don't you discuss it with me? You have to make the decision yourself."

Leng Xi slowly brushed off the foam on the tea with a tea lid, took a sip of tea, and replied casually:

"Why do I need to discuss it with you? I'm not a three-year-old child. I can make my own decisions on what I want to do."

"Xi'er, Mianzhou is far away, and there are many disaster victims there. Where there are disaster victims, there will be unruly people. You will be in danger if you go there. Besides, why do you insist on doing something that can be done by any official? Do it yourself?”

"Mother, this matter is not your business. You just need to remember that after I left, although I gave those concubines titles, I did not touch them. You can keep them to serve you. You can also give them some money and let them go back to their parents' home, but please don't cause trouble for Qiaoqiao, otherwise, I will never tolerate you when I come back."

"You dare to threaten your mother?"

"It's not a threat. Qiaoqiao's father was demoted because of me. Now there is no one to support her. She is the woman that I, Ming Media, are marrying. I don't allow anyone to bully her. I don't want my Prince Xi's Mansion to be like Prince Ming's Mansion." , I was made very upset by others."

"Mother will not make trouble like Mrs. Chang, who ran away with her daughter-in-law and lost her son. By the way, Xi'er, tell mother that you offered to go to Mianzhou, do you want to establish your own business there? Connections? Don't worry, my mother will take care of things for you here in the capital. When you come back, we, mother and son, will work together to take the throne back from Leng Yu. "
