When she returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, Liu Dechang was teaching his three children Kung Fu. Seeing her return, the three children came forward and called out,

"Mom, you're back."

"Mom, I can do horse stance now."

"Mom, I can do horse stance now."

Luo Lan touched their heads one by one and whispered to them:

"You guys go play for a while, Mom and Grandpa have something to say."

The children nodded in agreement and ran off hand in hand to play games.

Liu Dechang came over and saw that she looked unhappy. He asked with concern:

"Lan'er, what happened?"

Luo Lan motioned him to sit down at the stone table in front, looking at him solemnly, "Dad, I just met some people from Chu. I feel like a large number of them must have poured into the capital, intending to commit some illegal acts. Please investigate this matter carefully."

Hearing this, Liu Dechang's forehead instantly twisted into a knot. He asked in disbelief,

"Are you seeing right?"

"I've already fought with them. They came here to assassinate me, but I later controlled them. Master Yu has probably taken them back by now."

Hearing this, Liu Dechang slammed his hand on the stone table and shouted,

"No wonder people have been reporting that many unfamiliar people have come to the city recently. It turns out these Chu people are causing trouble. I'm going to Shuntian Prefecture to check it out now."

He was about to stand up, but then sat down again as if he had thought of something.

"You said the Chu people wanted to assassinate you just now?"

Luo Lan nodded without thinking, "Yes."

Liu Dechang's expression suddenly became tense. He held his chin with one hand and pondered for a while, then said seriously:

"Don't go out casually during this period, and don't go to Bai'antang. Since the Chu people didn't succeed this time, they won't give up. In order to let Leng Yu fight the enemy at the front, you can't let him be distracted in the rear."

Luo Lan glanced at the child who was jumping over there and nodded heavily.

"Dad, I understand. I will be more careful."

At this moment, Ah Cai came back hurriedly, panting and replied:

"Princess, those two...that woman ran away."

Hearing this, Luo Lan's face suddenly became gloomy, but Ah Cai continued:

"When Lord Yu and I arrived, they were gone. Fortunately, we left in time, otherwise they would have been in danger."

Luo Lan felt that what Acai said made sense. If there were really a few people with good martial arts skills who came at that time, her silver needles might not be able to cope with it.

Liu Dechang sighed angrily and stood up from his chair.

"It seems I have to investigate the details of these Chu people."

After leaving these words, he put his hands behind his back and walked quickly towards the gate.

"A Cai, make me a cup of chrysanthemum water with some rock sugar."

She suddenly felt an inexplicable bitterness in her mouth.

"Yes, Princess."

Ah Cai stepped back in response. Luo Lan sat on the stone bench, resting his chin on one hand, in a daze.

After a while, a clear and familiar voice came over.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"

Leng Ming's voice suddenly rang out. Luo Lan looked up and saw Leng Ming, who had grown into a handsome man, squinting his eyes and tilting his head to look at her.

Luo Lan smiled softly when she saw him. She had already seen the children sharing the snacks he brought.

He would come to Prince Yu's mansion every few days, and because he would bring some new toys or snacks every time he came, the children were particularly attached to him.

"Ming'er, did you bring them food again?"

Leng Ming sat opposite her, looked at the children, and replied with a chuckle:

"I am their uncle. They are the joy of my life. Seeing them happy makes me happier than anything else."

Luo Lan couldn't help but chuckle, "You're the only one who can spoil them. By the way, how have you been lately?"

Hearing this, Leng Ming sighed directly.

"Alas, the Ministry of Rites has too many complicated tasks, but they won't let me do them. I'm so fed up with it. I'll go tell my father that I don't want to work in the Ministry of Rites anymore. I'll just be a gatekeeper."

Seeing Leng Ming'er's embarrassed look, Luo Lan smiled helplessly. In the past few years, he had worked in almost all the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Personnel. However, due to his weak character and the fact that he had taken poison that year, the ministers were afraid. The emperor did not specifically instruct him to entrust him with important tasks. His words and deeds only told him to get by. Naturally, no one dared to assign him heavy work. He felt bored because he had nothing to do.

Luo Lan's eyes showed a hint of a smile, and then he said softly:

"You don't have time to do these things, why don't you go serve in the army?"

She meant to be joking with him, but Leng Ming suddenly looked at her excitedly and nodded.

"I came here this time with this intention. I want my fourth sister-in-law to talk to General Liu on my behalf and let me get a position in the army. I know some martial arts, and although I'm not very good, I'm not bad either."

Seeing that he was serious, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise.

"Do you really want to join the army? Then you won't have the comfortable life you have now. You can't just come to Prince Yu's Mansion whenever you want. You have to follow the rules of the army."

Hearing this, Leng Ming glanced at the children and nodded with determination.

"I'll go, but I want to wait a few days. Tomorrow is my birthday. Can I invite them to visit Prince Ming's Mansion?"

Birthday?

Luo Lan rolled her eyes. Yes, tomorrow is September 13th, Ming'er's birthday. If he didn't tell her, she would forget it.
