Aunt Qiu lowered her head and glanced at the jade pendant, and said nervously: "This, this is what the county master gave to the young lady."
In normal times, Luo Ran rarely wore jewelry for his two children, even those with longevity locks and the like. It's really because Xiao Qing Ning's little hands are always scratching, and her skin is so delicate that she's afraid of getting scratched.
These two jade pendants were given to the two children by Song Qingyou in the other courtyard that day.
At that time, Luo Ran had no other intention of snatching Fu Jin'an back from him, she just didn't want to see his proud and contemptuous look.
After returning home, he handed it to Aunt Qiu and asked her to put it away for the two children.
Maybe I forgot because I was busy, so I kept the jade pendant on the table in the side room. Before going out this morning, Aunt Qiu saw it. She thought that it would be too plain to enter the palace, so she took it and put it on the two sisters. I didn't forget to tell Aunt Gui to watch carefully and don't let the young master catch it and put it in his mouth.
Seeing the displeased look in the commander's eyes, Aunt Qiu really didn't understand what was wrong with this jade pendant.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanyuan came out quickly and took the two children in, and it was over.
Fu Jinan and Lu Jiuchen sat for a while and then left, leaving their two children in Cining Palace and picking them up after the palace banquet was over.
The Queen Mother was naturally very happy and hugged each one of them in a strange way.
Lu Yuanyuan looked at the wrinkles piled up in the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes due to happiness, rolled her eyes and said, "Emperor Grandma, you like Ning'er and Jing Xing so much, how about you accept them as your great-grandsons?"
The Queen Mother's smile froze, and she nodded her forehead and scolded her with a smile: "You little bastard, do you think the royal family is just like ordinary people, and they can recognize each other as soon as they want? Besides..."
He is obviously his great-grandson, why do he have to admit it?
The Queen Mother felt a little unhappy.
Lu Yuanyuan smiled and hugged the Queen Mother's arm and said coquettishly: "How about you make a decree and grant a marriage to Sister Ran and Brother Jinan?"
The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled bitterly. That was what Fang said when she entered the palace, but at that time she did not know that Luo Ran was pregnant with Yan Hui's child, so she thought it was Duke Jingguo and his wife who deliberately made things difficult for the motherless child.
But in fact, who can figure out what's going on here?
The Qingning siblings played for a while and fell asleep after being fed milk by Aunt Qiu. Lu Yuanyuan also left Cining Palace.
The palace, which was lively just now, immediately became quiet again.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply.
Nanny Hua on the side said: "Queen Mother, you are tired too. Do you want to go in and take a rest?"
The Queen Mother shook her head, looked at the sleeping siblings inside, and said with some melancholy: "Mommy, do you think the Ai family will ever hear them call me ancestor in this life?"
Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment and said: "If you really like the young lady and the young master, you might as well do what the princess said..."
The Queen Mother raised her hand to interrupt her and sighed: "If Mr. Luo and Mr. Jing hadn't joined forces back then, do you think Yan Hui's child would be as unwanted as he is now? He didn't massacre the Fu Luo family. , he is already kind, but it’s a pity that those people outside always say that he is cruel and violent, they are really a bunch of people who stand up and talk without hurting their backs!”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Nanny Hua quickly advised: "Queen Mother, please don't get angry with that little screwdriver. They are just afraid of the Commander-in-Chief."
After a pause, he continued: "But according to the old slave's observation, Mr. Fu doesn't seem to have any hatred towards the Luo family, and even less towards the county master..."
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, we can't control it."
-
After congratulating the queen on her birthday, the ladies then wandered around in the imperial garden in twos and threes.
Yue Wanhe is the future crown princess and it is difficult to leave the queen's side. Shen Xiqing was infected with the cold two days ago and did not enter the palace this time, so Luo Ran was left alone and found a remote pavilion to wait for Lu Yuanyuan.
But sometimes, trouble is not something you can avoid if you want to.
No, Luo Ran was thinking about whether the two children would make trouble when he heard footsteps coming from behind. He hesitated a little, but didn't stop. He saw them approaching.
She turned around and frowned unconsciously, but still nodded slightly: "Mr. Song."
Song Qingyou seemed a little nervous. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Ran suddenly looked past him in another direction.
Following her line of sight, he saw a man standing by the pond not far away, Zhilan Yushu, with a graceful demeanor. When he saw her looking over, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his cold face.
Looking at Luo Ran again, the alienation from him just now was no longer on his face, and his beautiful smile was more dazzling than the warm spring sun, which made Song Qingyou almost unable to open his eyes.
My throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it took a lot of effort to ask: "Do you like him?"
"What?"
Luo Ran waved to Shen Yuzhi, turned around and heard these words, and was stunned for a moment.
Song Qingyou took a deep breath and asked again: "You rejected my marriage proposal twice, but because of him?"
In his impression, Luo Ran was not good at making friends. Even after living in Jiangnan for more than ten years, he only knew a handful of people. So he couldn't imagine why the soft and Nuonuo girl who followed him and called Qingyou brother seemed to be a different person and cold as soon as she returned to the capital. This made him very decadent for a long time. He didn't even dare to appear in front of her, for fear of hearing her say something heartless again.
Luo Ran looked at Song Qingyou's pale face, and then at his cousin who was coming this way. He suddenly understood something, his mind moved slightly, and he nodded: "Yes."
Song Qingyou's body was obviously shaken.
If Luo Ran's previous two rejections still made him have illusions, he thought that the little girl had just broken off the engagement and was in a bad mood, so he couldn't accept it for a while. But now, I heard clearly from her mouth that she liked another man. This result was even more difficult to accept than him failing the scientific examination.
"Why……"
Song Qingyou refused to give up and asked with difficulty: "What did I do wrong? We have known each other for more than ten years. Although he is your cousin, you have just met..."
Song Qingyou was originally a bit thin, but he seemed to have become even thinner after not seeing him for several months.
After all, they still had a relationship of more than ten years, and Luo Ran couldn't bear it, but in order to make him give up and not delay him, he still hardened his heart:
"Because he is my cousin! He is very good to me, my aunt is very good to me, and my grandmother is very good to me. If I marry into the Shen family, they will not look down on me because of my past. But Brother Qingyou, Your mother doesn't like me, and I don't want to get married and have to be disciplined every day. You are very good, and there will be a woman worthy of your liking in the future, but that person is not me. "
When Shen Yuzhi walked up to him, he heard Luo Ran's words and stopped unconsciously, looking at her deeply.
Of course, he was not the only one who heard Luo Ran say this.
