The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yu'er's mother-in-law died young. You also know this. Logically speaking, whoever is the master of the harem should call her mother-in-law. But Yu'er, you have always been under Chang Guifei's knees. Now It’s Concubine Li who is taking care of the harem again, so you two go and pay homage to them respectively!”
It is not an exaggeration for the emperor to say this. No matter what, as a junior, he should pay tribute to them. Luo Lan had no objection to this. Leng Yu bowed and clasped his fists and said:
"My son, I have received the decree. I will go now. However, I have something to ask for, and I hope my father will give me permission."
"Have something to say."
"I want to take Lan'er out for a walk. She has been in the countryside before and doesn't know much about the great mountains and rivers of our Daning country. I want to take this opportunity to take her around."
The emperor pondered for a long time, then nodded,
"That's fine. Let's take a look at the public sentiment. That's right."
Hearing this, Leng Yu clasped his fists with joy and said:
"Thank you very much, Father."
The emperor nodded and said solemnly:
"You can stay outside for a while. When you come back, Yu'er will focus on state affairs, and Princess Yu will want to be pregnant with the royal heir as soon as possible."
In any case, as long as the emperor agrees, they can go out smoothly without arousing suspicion. Luo Lan raised his eyebrows lightly and leaned forward without hesitation:
"My son, I will obey my father's teachings and will do my best to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family."
Hearing her words, the emperor waved to the two of them with great satisfaction, "Go, I still have many memorials to read."
After Leng Yu and Luo Lan hurriedly saluted, they quickly left the Yangxin Hall.
They came to the outside of Dening Palace. After seeing the ceremony, Aunt Yu picked up a piece of jade Ruyi and raised it in her hand, and whispered back:
"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, the empress has been feeling unwell recently and is not suitable to meet guests. She asked my servant to prepare a small gift, please accept it."
not see?
This was quite comforting. Luo Lan and Leng Yu didn't want to see her anyway. If it weren't for etiquette, they wouldn't bother to come to the entrance of Dening Palace.
Leng Yu wanted to reject Yu Ruyi, who had fallen into her mother's hands, but Luo Lan took it back first, leaned forward and replied:
"Thank you Concubine Chang for me. Since the empress is not feeling well, we will not disturb her anymore and will come see her again in the future when we have the opportunity."
After saying that, she handed Yu Ruyi into Ah Hong's hand, took Leng Yu with her, and walked proudly towards Liyuan.
Leng Yu couldn't help but blame him in a low voice:
"Why do you want her things?"
Luo Lan replied nonchalantly:
"Why don't you want to give it to us for free? If she doesn't come out to see us, she is stingy. If we don't even accept the gift, it will appear that we are stingy. This is good. No one needs to see it, but the gift is received."
Seeing her triumphant look, Leng Yu couldn't help but raise his hand to press the tip of her nose, and muttered:
"Little clever guy, you are so interested in making money that you can't even put the good things in your house. Why do you still care about this crap?"
"Why aren't you rare? Although this thing is not expensive enough, it is still worth some money. When these two girls get married later, wouldn't it be very honorable to give it to them as a dowry?"
After saying this, she looked back at A Cai and A Hong, raised her eyebrows proudly and said:
"Are you right?"
Ah Cai and Ah Hong lowered their heads in a hurry, not daring to speak.
When the group of them came to Liyuan, they were treated the same as Dening Palace.
Luo Lan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and then said to Leng Yu:
"Ms. sir, didn't you read the almanac when you went out this morning? Why are we here and these two ladies are sick?"
Aunt Lu hurriedly bowed and replied:
"My lord and princess, please don't blame me. Your Majesty has been ill for many days and her face is not good-looking. I am afraid that you newlyweds will be overwhelmed by this joy. This is the return gift prepared by your Majesty for you. Please accept it."
Luo Lan took the gift box over unceremoniously and saw a jade bracelet inside. It seemed to be in good condition, so she handed it to A Cai behind her and said:
"Since your Majesty is not feeling well, we won't bother you. Please say hello to your Majesty for us. If you have the opportunity in the future, come and see her again."
After saying that, she took Leng Yu's hand again and turned to leave.
But before they could take a few steps, someone stopped them.
"Fourth brother, the emperor's wife, you are here."
The two looked for a voice and saw Leng Ming standing in front of them with a solemn expression.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan rushed over and asked, "Ming'er, are you feeling well?"
Leng Ming pursed his lips and shook his head with a bitter smile, "I heard that you just went to Dening Palace. My mother-in-law didn't see you. I apologize to you on her behalf. Don't blame her."
Luo Lan patted his shoulder, raised his brows and said softly:
"How can we blame her? It's just a formality."
Leng Ming nodded gently and said again:
"Sister-in-law, I know you got married yesterday, and I really want to go and drink your wedding wine, but... I can't help myself, I'm sorry."
Seeing him looking a little lonely, Luo Lan quickly comforted him softly:
"Minger is not feeling well, and it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace often. Your fourth brother and I will not blame you. When you get married in the future, my fourth brother and I will definitely go to drink your wedding wine."
Leng Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, nodded directly and said:
"When I am eighteen and can establish my own royal palace, I will definitely invite my fourth brother and the emperor's sister-in-law to celebrate as soon as possible. But it is too far away now. At the moment, I want to take my fourth sister-in-law as my teacher. It has not been settled yet, but this matter first Leave it alone, fourth sister-in-law, please remember."
Hearing this, Luo Lan couldn't help but want to laugh, and Leng Yu shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Leng Ming's eyes were extremely firm, Luo Lan could only nod and said:
"Okay, Fourth Sister-in-law promises you that whenever Ming'er is willing, Fourth Sister-in-law will accept you as her disciple and teach you whatever you want to learn. That's it, right?"
Hearing this, Leng Ming's face suddenly showed a cheerful smile, and he kept nodding, "Then it's settled, but during this time when it's inconvenient for me to leave the palace, can you come to the palace when you are free?" Come and see me? And teach me some chess knowledge by the way?"
Before Luo Lan could speak, Leng Yu refused directly:
"Your wife-in-law and I are going out for a while, and we will visit you when we get back."
"Where are you going?"
Seeing that he asked so anxiously, Leng Yu replied directly:
"I'll take your wife-in-law out for a walk. My father has given me permission not to attend the morning court for a month."
Leng Ming lowered his head a little lonely, then nodded, "Okay, I really want to go with you, what a pity."
Leng Yu patted his shoulder again and softly comforted:
"Don't worry, Ming'er. You will grow up sooner or later, and you can go wherever you want."
After saying this, she took Luo Lan's hand and said to Leng Ming:
"You should go back quickly. Your mother and concubine will be anxious later. We have something else to do, so we should leave first."
