While she was surprised, Yu Qiaoqiao continued to say in a deep voice:
"I know, you will ask me why I want to go back, and you will also ask me, what is there that I should miss? Oh, I have no choice. A married woman is just a guest in her mother's family. It's okay to go back and stay for a while. There are always a lot of inconveniences when you stay for a long time.”
From Yu Qiaoqiao's expression and her words, Luo Lan could hear her helplessness.
She nodded in understanding,
"It's right to go back. Xiaobao is a member of the Leng family. Lengxi will not allow him to live outside. For Xiaobao's sake, you should go back."
"If it weren't for Xiaobao's presence, I would rather become a nun than go back to Prince Xi's Mansion. Thinking about going back there, I have a particularly depressing feeling. I know it's my fault. Prince Xi's Mansion is not sorry. My place, I have the final say in all matters in the house, and I spend money as I please. However, because of Lengxi's indifference, I always feel that it is not my home. I don't know how I can overcome this state..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up at Luo Lan, with a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, and murmured,
"Sister, can you enlighten me? I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I go back. "
enlighten?
How to enlighten? She also knew that Leng Xi was cold and aloof.
In order to atone for Long Xiaomin's sins, he had been keeping his integrity for all these years. Although such a spirit was commendable, he didn't know that doing so would hurt another woman.
She thought about it again and again and said calmly:
"If I were you, not only would I not be crazy, I would also enjoy it."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at her with puzzled eyes, Luo Lan smiled lightly and continued:
"You just said that you are the princess of Prince Xi's Mansion and the mistress of Prince Xi's Mansion. You can spend the money of Prince Xi's Mansion as you please. I think men are the most unreliable species in the world. Instead of waiting, He came to take pity on him, so he might as well live his life, take the money from Prince Xi's Mansion, play as he wants, eat as he wants, find a servant girl to accompany him when he has no one to accompany him, and turn a blind eye to him without any control, Leng Xi, like this Wouldn’t it be a happy day!”
Luo Lan was immersed in her fantasy. She even thought that it would be a wonderful thing if she was allowed to live like that for a few days. She must study food every day and play cards with her servants and girls every day. If you fall asleep when you are sleepy, eat when you are hungry, and think about nothing, you will still live a very comfortable life.
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at her with wide eyes in astonishment. She never dared to dream about such a day. Her mother had warned her since she was a child that for ladies, there are some things that she should do and some things that she should not do. If she was really like Princess Yu said If you do that, what's the difference between those women who are like shrews on the street?
Thinking of this, she shook her head vigorously,
"Your idea is good, but I can't do it. My mother has told me since I was a child that I can't do things that are too high, and I don't dare to do it."
Luo Lan shrugged helplessly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. The moment he put down the cup, he flicked his fingers on the table.
She really didn't know how to persuade a stubborn woman like Yu Qiaoqiao, or in other words, she couldn't persuade her at all.
The education she received since she was a child has bound her into a certain frame. It would be as difficult as the sky for her to break free from that frame.
"I'm sorry, I can't be as free and easy as you. I...if I had half of your thoughts, I wouldn't be like this..."
Luo Lan frowned, smiled, and replied calmly:
"If you still want to live the same life as you did before, then continue on the path of your life!"
She didn't want to persuade someone who couldn't be persuaded at all. She stood up and said apologetically:
"There are still patients waiting for me over there. I can't stay with you any longer. You...just take care of yourself!"
The meaning of her words was obvious. For a woman like her who refused to listen to repeated advice, she didn't want to say more.
Yu Qiaoqiao stood up knowingly and chuckled at her:
"I will try to change..."
"Okay, I hope the smile on your face comes from the bottom of your heart next time we meet."
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded, turned around with her skirt up, and walked outside.
Looking at her back, Luo Lan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
In this life, if a woman meets the right person, she will be happy for the rest of her life; if she meets the wrong person, she will be miserable for the rest of her life...
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the emperor asked the regent Leng Yu to issue an order on his behalf. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival should be more lively, and all ministers are invited to bring their families to the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
The emperor's health has been getting better these days, and his mood has improved greatly.
Concubine Li has been bringing various nourishing soups to the emperor in the past few days. The emperor drank it and found it very useful.
Now she sees the situation in the court more clearly than anyone else. Leng Yu has reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand, but Xi'er is still banned outside the palace. Now it is not possible for mother and son to change the world, so she has been doing very hard recently. She is low-key, but her unwillingness to be mediocre has been reminding her that she should not be anxious when things happen, and she will get ahead sooner or later.
Today, she made another bowl of pigeon soup for the emperor. Because she had something to discuss with the emperor today, she made this soup with extra care.
Recently, all affairs in the court were handled by Leng Yu, but the emperor, under Liu Xi's persuasion, thought better of it and was happy.
Anyway, Leng Yu would come to report to him regularly on all the big and small matters in the court, so even if he didn't come forward to deal with them, he still had them all in his hands.
He stayed in the Yangxin Hall all day long, drinking tea and playing with the birds, and his life was comfortable and comfortable.
At this time, the little father-in-law came over, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is here and she has brought you soup."
The emperor immediately became energetic when he mentioned Concubine Li's soup, which made Liu Xi a little worried.
The emperor waved his hand,
"Please come in, Concubine Li."
After the young father-in-law withdrew, Liu Xi reminded him in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, you really like to drink Concubine Li's soup. I didn't know Concubine Li had such skills before."
"I heard her mention that in order to make me a bowl of delicious soup, she could stay by the stove for several hours. For this reason, I have to drink it."
"Yes, Concubine Li is very attentive..."
Having said that, Liu Xi was still a little worried. After all, the incident about the immortality pill had just passed, and now that the soup that made the emperor addicted came out, he had to be cautious.
After a while, Concubine Li came slowly with two girls. She personally held the bowl of soup in her hands.
"emperor……"
She bowed and saluted, and the emperor hurriedly waved his hand.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
After Concubine Li nodded and smiled charmingly, she stood up and came to the emperor. She placed the bowl of soup on the table, then picked up the spoon inside, filled out a bowl with a small bowl, blew it with her mouth, and then sent it to the emperor. In front of him, he said softly:
"Your Majesty, please try the pigeon soup I cooked for you today. Does it taste to your taste?"
The emperor picked up the small bowl in front of him, held it to his mouth, took a sip, and then nodded,
"Well, the soup has a strong aroma, and it's elegant and hits your nose. The soup is oily but not greasy, and the soup is fragrant. It's delicious, delicious."
Hearing this, Li Fei's face suddenly showed a happy smile, and she said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, please drink more. Drinking more soup is good for your health. Winter is coming soon. Drinking more soup can drive away the cold and keep you healthy."
Concubine Li was Concubine Li after all. She could always find a way out of desperate situations and find the emperor's weakness.
The emperor drank a bowl of soup in one breath. Liu Xi hurriedly offered the handkerchief to him. He wiped the corners of his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
"My beloved concubine's skills are getting better and better. I will go to your Liyuan tonight..."
