It can be said that Queen Ma's arrival is an absolute big event for the entire Lan family.
And this time is different from the last time His Majesty came.
Because the last time His Majesty came to the Lan family, it was mainly for a private visit incognito, and there was no big fanfare.
But this time, Queen Ma came, bringing gifts and knocking on the door seriously.
This nature is completely different.
The entire Lan family was extremely happy.
When it was time to eat, a large table was filled with food.
"Lanyu, Chu Ze is almost helpless in Yingtian Mansion. Now he can rely on me as his godmother. From now on, you will be considered a family, so you should help him more."
"As for Chu Ze."
After having a pleasant meal, Queen Ma sat directly on the main seat in the living room, while Lan Yu sat on the side with a cautious face to keep her company.
Chu Ze was sitting on the guest seat below, looking around from time to time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Queen Ma and the others. The main thing was that he basically couldn't get a word in what the other party was talking about.
Might as well look around
While Queen Ma and the others were talking, Chu Ze also saw something interesting.
At a window on the side of the living room, he actually found someone peeking.
Yes, someone is peeking.
A little head was lying quietly by the window, looking left and right in the living room like a thief.
It looks like a kitten trying to steal a fish.
When Chu Ze discovered the other party, people outside the window sill also noticed Chu Ze.
But what surprised Chu Ze was that the two men simply looked at each other.
The little head that peeked out seemed to be frightened and quickly retracted.
"Chu Ze...what are you looking at? You are looking at it so seriously."
Just when Chu Ze wanted to see if the other party had run away directly, Queen Ma's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ah? Sorry, I was distracted just now. I didn't pay attention to what you said. What happened to that just now?"
After Queen Ma heard Chu Ze's words, she also followed Chu Ze's gaze and glanced at the window.
Although there is nothing there at this time.
But Queen Ma seemed to already know something.
After giving Chu Ze an aunty smile, she spoke.
"I want to say that I plan to tell Uncle Lan something. Take a look, why don't you go walk around first and get familiar with the environment. After all, this is also your future father-in-law's home."
"It will be inevitable to move around more in the future."
"Go and look around."
Although Queen Ma sounded like she was discussing with Chu Ze, in fact.
She almost said this to Chu Zeming directly.
The adults want to talk, you kid, go out and play by yourself.
Chu Ze could naturally hear such an obvious intention to drive people away.
"What about that? I'm a little full from what I just ate. I'm going to go out for a walk to eat something good!"
Seeing that it was obvious that he didn't want to be there anymore, Chu Ze certainly wouldn't choose to stay any longer.
After chatting, Chu Ze stood up and walked outside.
The housekeeper of Lan Yu's house also came to Chu Ze's side at the right time to follow him.
Firstly, it was to guide him, and secondly, he was worried that Chu Ze would wander into the residence of the female family members.
After seeing Chu Ze leave, the smile on Queen Ma's face gradually faded.
Then he turned to look at Lan Yu beside him.
"Lanyu, now that he is gone, I will tell you something."
"Queen, please speak, Lan Yu will definitely listen attentively!"
When she saw Queen Ma, whose expression suddenly turned serious, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel nervous.
He stood up straight from his position, standing upright, waiting for Queen Ma's next words.
When Chu Ze was here just now, they mostly talked as if they were in-laws.
But now, it's clear that's not the case.
"Lanyu, there are some things that I, as the queen of the harem, are not suitable to say to you. If His Majesty finds out, he will still blame me."
"But your brother-in-law Yuchun calls me sister-in-law, and you are also Biao'er's uncle. Now Chu Ze is my adopted son, and you are Chu Ze's father-in-law."
"I will only say these words to you once, you must remember them."
"You are reckless and arrogant. This is not the first time His Majesty has told me these things."
"There is nothing wrong with having a character like yours on the battlefield. After all, as a general, you must dare to fight and kill, and you must be bloody to lead the army to victory."
"But you have to remember that in addition to being a general, you are also a minister!"
"Besides, your identity is getting closer and closer to the royal family. To a certain extent, you are already a relative."
"Throughout history, tyrannical relatives often did not end well."
"As Biao'er's uncle, not only should you not be arrogant in this capacity. Because if your relatives are arrogant, if they violate discipline in the future, the people in power will be more strict with them."
"Otherwise it won't be enough to appease everyone."
"I shouldn't have said this today, but... I feel that my health is getting worse and worse these days. If you had made mistakes before, I could still beg for mercy from Your Majesty."
"But if one day I leave and you make another mistake, no one may be able to intercede for you."
"Especially because of your character, you must have offended many people in the court. If you commit a crime one day, you will be attacked by the crowd. At that time, as a relative, you will know the law and break the law. Even if your Majesty wants to It would be difficult not to deal with you."
Queen Ma's voice is very soft, and even the sound alone can give people a sense of immersion and relaxation after listening to it.
But the meaning expressed by her gentle voice at this time caused cold sweat to gradually rise on Lan Yu's forehead.
Throughout the day today, the Prince and Queen Ma actually said similar things to him one after another.
What does this mean?
No matter how stupid Lan Yu was at this time, he could still feel that something was wrong.
Although he wanted to say something at this time, but after his lips trembled slightly, he found that he could not say a word.
Terrified, on pins and needles!
Seeing the cold sweat on Lan Yu's forehead, Queen Ma also knew that her warning must have worked.
But Queen Ma also knew very well that some things should not be taken too far.
Some words can only be touched upon.
If you speak too clearly, there will be no room for detours.
"Sapphire."
"Hey! Queen, please tell me, Lan Yu will listen!"
After hearing Queen Ma's voice again, Lan Yu seemed much more well-behaved this time.
Although she had been warned by Prince Zhu Biao and Queen Ma today, Lan Yu knew it in her heart.
Since they would say these things to him, it at least meant that he could still be saved.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be Queen Ma who came to the house today.
"Chu Ze, you must not treat him as an ordinary young man."
"The relationship between you and Biao'er is very mysterious, and you are Yuchun's brother-in-law. You can be regarded as having made great military exploits for the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty will never treat you badly in any way."
"And His Majesty is well aware of your character flaws, so at Biao'er's suggestion, he agreed to let Chu Ze marry your family."
"I can tell you clearly that Chu Ze is His Majesty's think tank for the Crown Prince. You should listen to his opinions more in the future."
"This child has a simple heart and a delicate mind. If you and he help Biao'er achieve great success in the future, your Lan family will have both famous generals and famous ministers. The Lan family will be able to shine."
It can be said that Queen Ma is quite familiar with painting cakes and appeasing people's hearts.
After some beating, he directly painted the cake for Lan Yu.
Moreover, in order to let Lan Yu clearly feel the importance of Chu Ze, she did not hesitate to lie a little.
The matter of their family's marriage to Chu Ze was focused on Prince Zhu Biao.
At first glance, it seems that the prince can prefer Sapphire.
And Lan Yu was exactly what Empress Ma thought. She really believed that what happened to Chu Ze was something the prince had done intentionally.
Especially what the prince said to Lan Yu in the morning.
If he, Lan Yu, is not happy with this marriage, he can simply break off the engagement and choose the girl as the daughter of the Xu Da family.
When Lan Yu heard these words at the time, he would only think that Zhu Biao was speaking angrily.
But after Empress Ma said this, Lan Yu gradually understood the importance of Chu Ze.
He himself also discovered that it seemed that if Chu Ze became the son-in-law of Xu Da's family.
In the future, Chu Ze will support Zhu Biao again.
Then the Xu Da family naturally followed Zhu Biao.
In this way, it seems to be the most reasonable arrangement.
However, Chu Ze is now marrying into their Lan family!
If the prince hadn't deliberately favored his blue jade, it would be unreasonable.
Lan Yu, who thought she had thought everything through in her mind, now felt increasingly grateful to Zhu Biao.
And as the gratitude to Zhu Biao in her heart became stronger, the guilt and self-blame in Lan Yu's heart became deeper.
Zhu Biao was so biased towards him, but he still had problems with Chu Ze.
Doesn't this mean that Zhu Biao's kindness was thrown to the ground and then stepped on it a few times?
"Queen, please rest assured that I, Lan Yu, will assist the Crown Prince with all my heart and be loyal to His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!"
"From now on, Lan Yu will also restrain her temper and arrogance, and will never cause trouble to the prince. She will not cause trouble to His Majesty!"
"If there is anything wrong with what I say, I, Lan Yu, am willing to be punished. Even if my head falls to the ground, I will never blame anyone."
Looking at the solemn Lan Yu in front of her, the seriousness on Queen Ma's face finally gradually melted away.
Her purpose of coming here today has obviously been achieved.
She knew that she might be dying soon, so now, she wanted to do something within her ability.
And Lan Yu is the person Empress Ma wants to protect again.
From Queen Ma's point of view, she could naturally see Lan Yu's arrogant temperament.
If it is not restrained, it will definitely harm him in the future.
"I have already said what should be said and what should not be said. The road ahead is up to you."
"I'll leave first. Don't call Chu Ze. Remember, it will be good for you to talk to him more and listen to his opinions more."
After achieving her goal, Queen Ma had no intention of waiting for Chu Ze to come back.
After finally explaining to Lan Yu, he led the others and left silently.
Lan Yu watched Queen Ma go away respectfully, but when Queen Ma's carriage gradually disappeared from his sight, Lan Yu seemed to suddenly think of something.
The whole person's face suddenly became nervous.
Then he suddenly turned around and rushed directly into his backyard.
"Chu Ze... a virtuous son-in-law, a virtuous son-in-law!"
When Lan Yu called Chu Ze's name all the way to her backyard.
He happened to see Chu Ze, who was sitting on the grass with a leaf covering his face, as if he was taking a nap.
"My dear son-in-law! Are you sleepy? How about your father-in-law asking someone to clean up a guest room for you and stay at his home today?"
After finding Chu Ze, Lan Yu also came to Chu Ze's side with a smile on her face.
After a slight hesitation, he followed Chu Ze's example and sat down on the grass.
Then he leaned casually on the tree trunk behind him.
At first glance, I thought the two were good friends.
"Hey? Uncle Lan, why are you here? Have you finished talking to the Queen?"
After feeling that there was someone else around him, Chu Ze woke up from his drowsy state.
Taking off the leaves covering his face, he looked at Lan Yu beside him with some confusion.
I asked still a little confused.
"Uh, I've said that. But, dear son-in-law, I suddenly have something I want to talk to you about. Do you think it's convenient for you now?"
"Well, I should be quite convenient now. Uncle Lan, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're a little weird?"
Seeing Lan Yu, who had just disappeared for a while, suddenly become a little cautious when talking to him.
When Chu Ze looked at him, his face was full of doubts and confusion.
"Haha, what can I do to be weird? Aren't I afraid of disturbing you? I remember you told me before that you would like me to have less to do with Hu Xiang in the future? This matter Is there any other explanation for this?"
"Uncle, I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious about this. Look...if it's convenient, I can explain this to my uncle!"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say."
Lan Yu said, not forgetting to use her eyes to signal the butler who had been standing by to leave.
And Lan Yu suddenly looked like a different person.
Chu Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems that the Queen has told you something terrible!"
