Luo Lan stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and softly comforted him:
"Silly boy, one year goes by very quickly, so I'll leave now and see you next time."
Leng Ming looked at her and nodded heavily, "Sister-in-law Fourth, thank you."
After saying this, he actually bowed to her. Luo Lan quickly raised her hand to support him, "Why are you so polite to your fourth sister-in-law?"
Leng Ming looked up at her and smiled sadly, "Goodbye, fourth sister-in-law."
He seemed to have thought about this for a long time before speaking out.
Although Luo Lan wanted to stay with him for a while, he had many things to deal with and had no time to spend more time with him, so he could only comfort him with a few words and say goodbye to him.
On the way out of the palace, A Cai couldn't help but mutter:
"Princess, Prince Ming is a prince after all, so why is he so miserable? Is it really because he doesn't want to find a servant to serve him?"
A look of indifference flashed between Luo Lan's eyebrows, and then he chuckled,
"There are many people who offer icing on the cake, but very few who offer help in times of need. Leng Ming's temperament is too peaceful and cowardly. Even the emperor doesn't ask about him because of Concubine Chang Guifei. How can anyone else ask about it?"
After hearing what she said, A Cai said angrily:
"This matter has nothing to do with him. Why does the emperor ignore him? The emperor is really an unkind person."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Ah Cai was speaking without restraint, Ah Hong quickly looked around and interrupted Ah Cai's words sternly, "Be careful if someone listens to you, I'll smash your mouth."
Ah Cai shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to speak.
Luo Lan sighed as he walked forward slowly:
"Yes, the royal family is a place where no human relations are allowed. Prince Yu was a good example back then. I just hope Ming'er can think of some ideas on his own!"
Just as she was talking, she saw Leng Xi walking towards the palace happily. When he came to Luo Lan, he raised his eyebrows and said with some pride:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I came to the palace to announce the good news that I have given birth to a son by chance."
Hearing this, Luo Lan was still happy for Yu Qiaoqiao. She smiled and nodded,
"Congratulations to Prince Xi on the birth of his precious son."
Leng Xi raised his face and hummed with a smile on his face,
"I entered the palace to announce the good news to my father, the emperor, and my mother and concubine. I said goodbye."
Leaving these words behind, he walked past Luo Lan with long strides.
Looking at his excited back, Ah Cai whispered,
"What's so great? There are two men in Prince Yu's palace. Look how happy he is."
Luo Lan continued walking towards the palace entrance and said calmly:
"Yu Qiaoqiao gave birth to the child successfully. This is a good thing. Leng Xi should be happy. Let's go back and see the children."
The group of three people quickly left the palace, stepped on the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion, and rushed towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
three days later
Zhang Yuan's mother came to Prince Yu's Mansion in person. When she saw Luo Lan, she was about to kneel down when she was stopped by Luo Lan.
"Ms. Zhang, you are so old, how can you give such a gift to a junior like me?"
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head with a look of horror.
"You are a princess and have a noble status. How can I, an old woman, dare to call myself an elder?"
Luo Lan pulled her to sit down, chuckled and said:
"Auntie, let's not say anything polite. Why are you here today?"
Hearing her ask this, Mrs. Zhang grinned sheepishly,
"To be honest, I heard Zhang Yuan tell me when he went back that there was a girl who wanted to live with him. I thought I shouldn't wait ten days. I have long wanted to find a match for him, and now all the girls are here. What are you waiting for?"
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's straightforward words, Luo Lan nodded in agreement.
"Ms. Zhang, that's right. If you agree, I will ask someone to call the girl. Once you meet her, if you think it's appropriate, let Zhang Yuan go to the girl's house to pay the betrothal gift. This kind of thing still has to be done. Only with the consent of both parents.”
Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, that's it. Thank you, Princess, for letting you worry about this matter."
Luo Lan chuckled lightly and said to A Cai:
"Go and call Xiaoyun."
After receiving the order, Ah Cai happily went to call for help.
At this time, in a corner of Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan were sitting together, looking at a loss.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and sighed:
"When I talked about this matter with my mother, she insisted on letting me pay the betrothal gift. Now it doesn't matter whether I agree or not. She has already gone to see the princess."
Xiao Lingzi shrugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly, "At least you have a mother to make decisions for you. I don't even have anyone to make decisions. I dare not go back to the palace these days for fear of running into that Fang Qiu. I I’m afraid if she asks me, I don’t know how to answer.”
"Otherwise, you should agree. Don't worry about it. They are not bad looking. We will not lose money if we marry them."
Xiao Lingzi scratched her head in embarrassment, "I also know that my family was raised well, but I always feel that this happened too suddenly, like a dream."
Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him earnestly:
"Brother Ling, anyway, I listened to my mother and planned to marry that girl. I advise you to agree quickly. Don't look back because she doesn't want to marry you. It's too late for you to regret it."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Lingzi looked up at him, still undecided and frowning, "I...hey! Let's talk about it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a vigorous and powerful voice sounded from behind him,
"Why do you have to talk about it later? Who do you want to talk to?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who were sitting, sat up together and looked at the person coming, "Your Majesty..."
Leng Yu stood in front of them in a dark green robe, and the rubies inlaid on the golden headband on his head sparkled in the sunlight.
He took a step closer to the two of them with a dark face, and whispered in a jade-like voice:
"Xiao Lingzi, I regard you as my brother, so I would like to advise you that the days when there are women and the days when there are no women are really different. If you don't believe me, why don't you try? And I have checked for you, the origins of those two girls He is clean and his family has been farming for generations. It is safe to marry such a person."
Zhang Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I don't have any problem now. My mother is already talking to the princess about this matter. Brother Ling seems to be a little hesitant."
"There is nothing to hesitate. This girl has taken a liking to you. This is your blessing. Besides, this girl is not bad at all. Even if you are a general, it doesn't matter. It is better to find a considerate woman than a delicate young lady. "
Hearing what Leng Yu said, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I don't dislike her identity. I just... I just think it's too fast. Although you have investigated her family background, , but I don’t know her details. I can’t figure out why that girl wants to marry me, or if she wants to marry me, will there be any disadvantage to the prince..."
