"Entering the palace? Your Majesty wants to see the child?"
Yuan Shuyi was rarely so rude in front of Luo Deyun, but after hearing what he just said, he couldn't help but burst out in surprise.
When Luo Deyun came back from the palace, he came directly to Ningxiang Garden, and Yuan Shuyi happened to be there too.
Luo Deyun said helplessly: "According to the rules, Ranran has to go to the palace to express gratitude after being granted the title of county lord. But the emperor didn't mention it at the time, so I just pretended that it didn't happen. Who knows today..."
Halfway through his words, Luo Deyun's face turned cold when he thought of someone who was also in the imperial study room at that time.
When Yuan Shuyi saw this, he knew that the father and daughter had something to say, so he stood up and said: "If I enter the palace tomorrow, I have a lot of things to prepare in advance. I will go back and make arrangements now."
Luo Deyun nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yuan Shuyi blushed, and seeing Luo Ran not looking this way, he whispered:
"We are all a family, why bother talking about this."
After Yuan Shuyi left, Luo Ran calmed down, raised his head and looked at his father, and asked, "Dad, do you still have something to say?"
Luo Deyun sat down on the couch opposite her, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and when he met her eyes she suddenly asked: "Ranran, tell the truth to daddy, is Qingning and Jing Xing's father, is he... …”
It's really hard to speak.
Luo Ran already knew that his father should have guessed it, so he lowered his head and nodded.
Then he talked about what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, but many details were automatically skipped.
After speaking, Luo Deyun's face was ashen and his cheeks were sunken due to tightness.
Seeing his father like this, Luo Ran felt extremely uncomfortable.
He smiled bitterly and comforted: "Dad, don't be sad, don't you think this has come to pass now? With the emperor's decree, I can raise my two children in an honest way. When mother gets familiar with the house, she can give me Give birth to a little brother, and our family will be together beautifully."
Luo Deyun looked at his daughter for a long time, then closed his eyes in pain: "Silly boy."
He didn't say, how could that person be the one who let go so casually?
But it's useless to think so much now. He can only try his best to protect the three of them, mother and son.
As early as when Luo Deyun asked this question, Luo Ran guessed that it was related to that person. After his father calmed down a little, he asked: "Today the emperor mentioned that he wanted to see me, but because of him?"
Luo Deyun nodded: "You and I both know how the county lord came to be. If you don't want to be with him..."
"Daddy!"
Luo Ran interrupted him and said firmly: "Dad, I will never marry into the Fu family in this life! Never!"
Luo Deyun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect his daughter to be so insistent and swallowed the words of persuasion that came to her lips. At the same time, he scolded himself in his heart: He is such an old fool, and he still wants his Jiaojiao to marry that kind of person. Isn’t this pushing her into a pit of fire?
On the second day, Luo Ran got up early on purpose to feed the two children well, fearing that the emperor would be unhappy if they cried in the palace. But before he could be fed, Yuan Shuyi, who came over early in the morning, hurriedly stopped him.
Luo Ran was puzzled.
Yuan Shuyi asked the maid to take out a sheepskin sleeve with two small cowhide water bags inside, and took Luo Ran back to the inner room.
Luo Ran looked at the water bag and asked, "What is this for?"
Yuan Shuyi blushed and said: "Don't feed your child too much in the morning. It's not good for him to urinate after peeing. Feed him less, then squeeze out the milk and put it in a bag, then cover it with this sleeve and put a hand stove inside. If the children are hungry and make trouble, give them some food.”
This was also the method she came up with when she went back last night with her grandma.
The palace was no better than outside. The children were too young to control their crying, and it was not convenient to breastfeed there.
Luo Ran held her hand gratefully: "You are still thoughtful."
Yuan Shuyi shook his head and urged: "Okay, you go quickly, I will go outside to see the child."
Luo Ran took the cowhide water bag and turned around to go behind the screen.
After a while, Luo Ran came out with two heavy cowhide water bags and asked Aunt Qiu to put them away.
Yuan Shuyi glanced at her red face and pretended not to know anything.
When everything was ready, Luo Ran took Aunt You Qingqiu and another wet nurse out. As soon as he reached the second door, he saw Lu Yuanyuan coming in a hurry, patting his chest and saying calmly: "Fortunately, it's not too late, it's okay." Caught up."
Luo Ran looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Do you have something to do with me?"
Lu Yuanyuan shook her head, looked at the baby behind her who was being held by Aunt Qiu and the others, and said, "Aren't I afraid that you would be afraid of entering the palace alone, so I came here specially to accompany you. How are you, are the little guys okay?"
It has to be said that when Luo Ran heard that Lu Yuanyuan was accompanying her, she finally felt more at ease after a panicked night. She nodded and replied, "It's all good, thank you Yuanyuan."
Lu Yuanyuan waved her hands carelessly: "Why are you thanking me? Otherwise I should go to the palace to visit the imperial grandmother, otherwise I would have to pull my ears and scold me for being heartless."
What she didn't say was that someone personally went to Prince Qing's Mansion to find her last night and ordered her to follow him.
That's right, it's an order!
She didn't dare not listen.
The group got into the carriage and headed to the palace.
In Ningfuyuan, the old lady was sitting in the main hall, stretching her neck and looking at the quiet courtyard outside, and asked the people around her: "What time is it? Why haven't you come here yet?"
The new nanny's surname is Qian. After Nanny Du was dealt with by Luo Deyun, she took over Nanny Du's work. However, the old lady seldom talked to her, and she only worked silently. Now she would hear the old lady talking about it. , and then replied: "Who is the old lady asking about?"
The old lady glanced at her displeasedly, sat upright, and said in a low voice: "Who else could it be? Ran'er came to the palace today to thank her. She is young and has little experience. How can she rest assured if I don't give you some instructions? "
"oh."
Aunt Qian responded and said calmly: "The county master has already gone out. Don't worry, old lady, as Princess Anzhen is with you, everything will be fine."
"What? Gone?"
The old lady was surprised.
She thought it would be okay if these people didn't come to greet her on weekdays, but no one came to ask her about such a big matter?
She couldn't breathe and almost fainted again. Fortunately, Xia Fang came in in time and comforted her for a few words, so she felt better and helped her back to rest.
After coming out, Xia Fang looked at Grandma Qian with some disapproval and said, "Mammy, the old lady is old. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
Aunt Qian lowered her eyes and replied: "Miss Xia Fang, this old slave has been used to his duties all his life. He doesn't know those tricks to fool people. If you can't stand it, just tell Mr. Marquis that I will do it instead."
After saying that, he ignored Xia Fang's red face and turned around to continue his work.
Luo Ran also arrived at the palace gate quickly. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw two tall figures walking towards this side. She unconsciously looked at Lu Yuanyuan.
Lu Yuanyuan hurriedly raised her hands and swore: "I swear, I really didn't know that brother Jin'an would also come. I only heard my eldest brother say that we would go to the palace to visit the emperor's grandmother."
Luo Ran pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't blame her for this, so he took Lu Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Okay, let's enter the palace quickly."
Then he pulled Lu Yuanyuan past someone's eyes without even raising his head.
"Oh." Lu Yuanyuan responded, and was pulled forward. She looked back at the two of them sympathetically, made a face, and deliberately called out to Aunt Qiu: "Auntie! Hurry up and follow!"
"Hey! Here we come!"
Aunt Qiu hurriedly followed her with her child in her arms.
