This person was the fifth prince Leng Xi. When he saw the two of them approaching, his face lit up with joy, and he trotted over to greet them with a smile.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing Leng Xi, Leng Yu punched him on the shoulder and then asked:
"Fifth brother is waiting for us on a special trip?"
"yes."
Leng Xi smiled, showing his standard eight teeth, and replied with a smile:
"I'm actually waiting for the emperor's sister-in-law. I want to become my disciple."
Hearing this, Leng Yu opened his mouth in astonishment, and Luo Lan stared at him dumbfounded. After blinking a few times, he pointed at him, then at himself, and asked:
"You...want to...become your teacher to me...?"
"yes."
Leng Xi didn't hesitate at all, and nodded in response, dancing happily.
"The emperor's sister-in-law has many unique skills, especially her chess skills. I, Leng Xi, feel inferior to me. Can the emperor's sister-in-law teach me?"
Luo Lan looked at this innocent and cute big boy and helplessly shook his head in rejection.
"I'll teach you a few tricks when I get the chance. As for becoming a disciple, forget it. I can't afford it."
Hearing this, Leng Xi felt a little disappointed at first. He pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed again, grinning from ear to ear. He clenched his fists and thanked:
"That's fine, as long as I can learn one and a half moves from the emperor's sister-in-law. Na Xi'er has thanked the emperor's sister-in-law here. Tomorrow I will go to Prince Yu's Mansion to ask the emperor's sister-in-law for advice."
"Not tomorrow."
Leng Yu saw that he was biting his nose, so he quickly raised his hand to block his smiling face, and directly refused for Luo Lan:
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and we are going to the Lantern Festival. Where can I find the time to teach you?"
Hearing this, Leng Xi became even more interested and said excitedly:
"Really? Then I'm going too. As promised, I'll go find you tomorrow."
After leaving these words, he actually ignored the surprised looks in their eyes and trotted away.
Leng Yu pointed at him directly and muttered angrily,
"We are going to see the Lantern Festival tomorrow, what does it have to do with him? Besides, it will be inconvenient to take him with us."
Luo Lan could only shake his head helplessly, pursed his lips and smiled:
"That's not easy. Let's leave early tomorrow."
Hearing what she said, a smile suddenly appeared on Leng Yu's lips. He raised his hand and tapped Luo Lan's nose, and said dotingly:
"My wife is smart. Let's leave early tomorrow morning and take you to eat delicious food first. I heard that there is a chowder noodle restaurant on the outskirts of the city, which is very delicious. Also, there is a teahouse in the west of the city. It is comfortable and quiet. Let's finish eating After cooking noodles, we went to the teahouse to sit and chat so that guy from Lengxi couldn’t find us.”
Luo Lan nodded heavily with anticipation, "Okay, it's been a long time since I had a quiet cup of tea and chat with my husband, so it's settled, Lagou."
While speaking, she stretched out her little finger, and Leng Yu looked at her finger with some confusion, "This is it?"
Luo Lan snorted and smiled, pulled his finger over, let his little finger touch her own little finger, and murmured while pulling the finger,
"Hang yourself with a hook, and you won't be allowed to change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a little bitch, stuck."
This series of actions left Leng Yu stunned on the spot, but he found it quite amusing. Looking at the two little fingers hooked together, he raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Does this mean we have decided on this matter? We can't go back on it?"
"Yes!"
Luo Lan blinked at him with crystal eyes and explained:
"Whoever goes back on his word is a little bitch, and he has to learn how to bark like a dog."
Leng Yu helplessly covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled, then tapped her forehead with her finger and muttered,
"You don't know what goes through your little head all day long."
Luo Lan stuck out his tongue, looked at A Cai and A Hong holding toilet paper behind him, resisted the urge to laugh, blinked at Leng Yu, and reminded:
"Let's go, the emperor may be waiting for us."
After speaking, the two of them walked hand in hand to the palace.
Ah Cai and Ah Hou each held a handful of straw paper and followed closely behind them.
In the imperial study room
The emperor looked at the hundred pieces of papyrus, flipped through a few of them, frowned and asked:
"How many people wrote this?"
Luo Lan replied generously:
"seven people."
Hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he asked,
"Why did you lie to me again?"
Seeing that something was wrong with his tone, Luo Lan hurriedly bowed and saluted and replied:
"Your Majesty, that day you only said that I would be punished to copy the Disciple Rules a hundred times, but you did not say that I couldn't find anyone to help me. Moreover, with my own strength, I might not be able to finish copying it in ten or eight days, not to mention three days. Luo Lan is thinking that the emperor doesn't really want to punish Luo Lan, he's just pretending to let others see."
Her words left the emperor speechless. Logically speaking, Luo Lan had the greatest contribution to the murder of Leng Zian's son in the palace. He should be rewarded. If she hadn't deceived him the night before, he would have been I will really reward her.
But this was indeed an oversight in my words, which allowed Princess Yu to take advantage of her.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said:
"Since Princess Yu has handed in these hundred punishments, let this matter be dismissed."
After saying that, he waved to Luo Lan and said:
"You go down first. Yu'er and I have a few words to say."
Leng Yu's brows tightened. Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly leaned over and replied:
"Yes, Luo Lan is resigning."
After saying this, she blinked at Leng Yu and said softly:
"I'll wait for you outside."
Then, he left quietly.
Since the father and son had something to say and didn't want her to hear it, why should she disturb their interest here? It would be better to go out and relax.
After she walked out of the imperial study room, she said to A Cai and A Hong:
"Let's go hang out in the back garden."
As they spoke, the three of them headed to the back garden.
After Luo Lan left, the emperor stood up from behind the dragon case, walked slowly to his side, patted his shoulder, and said softly:
"Yu'er, my father has wanted to say I'm sorry to you for such a long time. My father knows that you must be resenting him in your heart, but there are some things that my father has his own reasons for. Can you understand?"
understand?
Leng Yu found these two words particularly harsh.
However, he still replied calmly:
"My son did not dare to accept my father's apology, and I never blamed my father. It was my son who acted recklessly and it had nothing to do with anyone else."
Seeing him say this, the emperor sighed and said:
"For Yun'er's harm to you, I should have deposed him as the crown prince, but as you know, his uncle Wu Hong holds military power, and his grandfather Wu Yuanzhang controls half of the court of Daning Kingdom, so I can't do anything, and I can't move."
Having said this, the emperor paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and then continued:
"I also know that the Wu family's father and son must be the ones behind this matter. Yoona's mind is not strong enough to do such a thing."
