Seeing her weird smile, Concubine Li narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but ask.
After Li Fei took a sip of tea, she put the tea cup down, with a proud look on her brows, and said casually:
"This Prince Yu's Mansion is indeed a good place. After people come here, their mood will become better and they will laugh unconsciously."
Concubine Li knew that Concubine Li was prevaricating her, but she didn't care about her affairs because she was thinking about her own affairs.
After Luo Lan followed Leng Yu and saluted the emperor, he made an excuse and couldn't wait to go to the backyard.
Ah Hong and Ah Cai, who rushed to the backyard first, came over to greet her and whispered in front of her:
"Princess, the second young lady and the madam are all in the room. The servants have given them instructions according to your instructions. They all said that they will stay in the room well."
Luo Lan frowned and nodded helplessly.
"That's good. Arrange the meals and daily necessities of the madam and the second lady. Arrange more manpower in the backyard in the next few days. If anything happens, notify me in time."
"I understand, I have arranged for someone to deliver meals to Madam and Second Young Lady."
"Well, I'm going to the back garden now to say hello to the two ladies. Don't follow me. Go to the front yard to see if there's anything you need help with."
After A Cai and A Hong took the order, they quickly walked to the front yard. Luo Lan walked through the verandah and went straight to the back garden.
Because of the arrival of the emperor and the two empresses, the people in Prince Yu's palace were caught off guard, and everyone began to get busy.
After Luo Lan came to the back garden, she went straight to the pavilion.
When Concubine Li saw her, she waved to her with a smile without waiting for her to salute.
"Lan'er, come and sit quickly. This place is no better than the palace, so there's no need to salute."
Luo Lan came to the two of them, bowed slightly,
"Greetings to you two empresses. Although this place is not as good as the imperial palace, the due etiquette cannot be less."
Concubine Li also looked at her with a smile on her face.
"You're welcome, Princess Yu. When we came this time, we caused a lot of disturbance and caused you a lot of trouble."
Luo Lan hurriedly smiled and replied:
"Empress Li is very polite. Your Majesty brings your two empresses to Prince Yu's Mansion. It is an honor for Prince Yu's Mansion. However, we were not informed in advance, so we were caught off guard and failed to prepare the reception in advance. Please don't blame us for being slow." It’s laziness.”
Li Fei's eyes flashed with an unclear look, and she waved her hands calmly,
"You're welcome, Lan'er. The reason why I didn't say hello when I came this time is that the emperor didn't want you to spend a lot of time preparing. Besides, we won't stay for a day or two and then leave, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Luo Lan had just learned from the emperor that they would stay at Prince Yu's Mansion for at least three days. During these three days, except for one day when they took Concubine Li to enjoy lotus flowers outside the city, they spent the other two days in Prince Yu's Mansion.
In other words, Xina and her mother had to stay in the room for two days without leaving the door.
Fortunately, there are only two days left, so just let them get through it.
Thinking of this, Luo Lan leaned forward again and said:
"Luo Lan is very happy that the two empresses can stay in Prince Yu's Mansion for a while, so please cool down here while I go to the kitchen to see how the lunch is being prepared."
After Li Fei smiled mysteriously, she waved her hand directly.
"Go and get busy if you have something to do. Concubine Li and I can just sit here for a while. The scenery of Prince Yu's Mansion is really unique!"
Luo Lan saw a different look in Li Fei's eyes. Could it be that she had discovered Xina and her mother?
Thinking of this, she nodded calmly, turned around, picked up her skirt and left.
She was thinking along the way, what would she do if Li Fei discovered Xina and Niang? How could she defend this matter?
Thinking of this, she frowned deeply and didn't notice the person walking towards her at all.
"Lan'er..."
Leng Yu stood in front of her like a mountain, bumping into her.
"What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear me when I called you twice?"
Luo Lan raised his head and saw Leng Yu's handsome eyes, he frowned sadly and replied softly:
"I don't know. I always feel that Li Fei knows something. I'm wondering what we should do."
Leng Yu raised his hand, pulled out the broken hair from her forehead, and comforted softly:
"Don't worry, according to my father's wishes, they are just here to relax. As for Concubine Li, I will send someone to pay more attention to it. Xina and mother, please give me more instructions..."
"I have already asked Ah Cai to give them instructions, but after Concubine Li came to Prince Yu's Mansion, she went straight to the backyard. I always felt that there was something wrong. It seems that we should not be careless."
Seeing Luo Lan's nervous expression, Leng Yu held her hand distressedly and comforted her in a low voice:
"Don't worry Lan'er, I have everything with you. No matter what happens, I will support you."
Luo Lan looked up at Leng Yu and nodded heavily,
"I feel relieved when my husband says this. You can take your three children to pay your respects to your father later. I will go back to my room and change my clothes."
"Okay, my father also said just now that he wants to play chess with Lele..."
Hearing that they were going to play chess, Luo Lan frowned and said:
"Ms. sir, tell Lele not to win more than three games..."
Leng Yu's face darkened, and then he smiled helplessly,
"It's really sad that such a young child should learn to follow others' opinions."
"Mr. Sir, this is not called following the crowd, this is called acting according to the opportunity..."
"Okay, let's play by ear. It's all up to you. Then you go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll go find the children."
After Luo Lan nodded, he parted with Leng Yu and went straight to the room.
At noon, Leng Xi came with Xiaobao and Yu Qiaoqiao, Leng Yu, Luo Lan, Leng Ming and their three children accompanied the emperor to eat together.
During the dinner, Xiaobao sat next to Li Fei and kept reciting the contents of the Book of Songs to her. Li Fei praised her with pride,
"Your Majesty, you see, Xiaobao is smarter than other children. He recites the Book of Songs like a gentleman. This child will become a great person in the future."
Listening to her somewhat exaggerated words, An An curled her lips and said,
"Who doesn't know the Book of Songs? What's there to show off? If you have the ability to memorize ancient poems..."
Ancient poetry?
Li Fei frowned at her and glared at her displeasedly. Xiaobao snorted unconvincedly,
"Hmph! Just go ahead! Return ancient poems? What are ancient poems? Is the Book of Songs powerful?"
"Why not? I memorized your Book of Songs three years ago. You definitely don't know how to read my ancient poems..."
"I don't believe it, just memorize one and let me see..."
"With the blanket on my back, I paid tribute to the White Emperor among the colorful clouds. A thousand miles of rivers and mountains are returned in a day. The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying. The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. Have you heard of it? Can you do it?"
The ancient poem that An An blurted out surprised everyone, including the emperor. Luo Lan hurriedly stopped him and said:
"An'an, mother told you not to show off, why didn't you listen?"
"Who showed off? It was obviously Xiaobao who showed off first. If he can recite the Book of Songs, he will be invincible in the world. Who can't do it? If you have the ability, let's recite the poems and compare them. How about comparing them?"
