Seeing that he was not dead, Xina burst into tears of joy. She also felt a little sorry for Leng Ming, so she quickly apologized.

"I...I didn't mean it. I...I was just joking with you. Who would have thought...you'd be so frightened."

Leng Ming saw that she said this as if it was his fault, his face darkened instantly, and he blamed her in a cold and unhappy voice:

"I can't help but be scared? Your peanut went straight into my throat. If it weren't for Fourth Brother slapping the peanut out, I would be dead now."

Having said that, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and threatened in a sinister voice:

"If I were to become a dead man, I would haunt you every night, demanding your life and leaving you no peace."

His words made Xina's hair stand on end. Leng Yu frowned and stopped her, saying:

"Ming'er, don't scare her. It was an accident. It's okay now. Don't worry about it."

Don't care?

When Leng Ming heard these three words, an unintentional smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This woman has tried to harm him time and again, and it is impossible for him not to hold it against her.

But everyone was in a good mood today, and he didn't want to ruin everyone's good mood, so he nodded casually.

"Okay, I'll listen to Fourth Brother and not argue with her. Actually, she's a few years older than me. From Fourth Sister-in-law's perspective, I should call her Sister."

When he said this, he turned to look at Xina, with murderous eyes, but a smile on his lips as he clasped his fists and said:

"Sister Sina, you were born a few years before me, so you should be taking care of me, your younger brother. I can let bygones be bygones, but don't be naughty again, or you'll try to harm me again and again. Even if I'm lucky, I can't escape every time."

Leng Ming's words made Xina blush with embarrassment. The other person had already asked for peace with her, so what reason did she have to give him the cold shoulder?

Thinking of this, she curled up a beautiful smile at the corner of her lips, then clasped her fists towards Leng Ming and nodded seriously.

"You are too polite, Prince Ming. I have done things wrong in the past, but I never meant to hurt you. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Leng Ming's mouth curled up into a subtle smile, raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Sister Na, what are you talking about? You are Fourth Sister-in-law's younger sister, and I am Fourth Brother's younger brother. We are family after all. It's okay if you admit your mistakes. Why would I bother with you?"

Although he said this, only Leng Ming himself knew that he didn't really think so in his heart.

This woman is too arrogant and domineering, and too conceited. He has been unlucky since he met her. He will not be able to swallow this humiliation unless he finds an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Seeing that the two of them had finally put aside their differences, Liu Dechang smiled happily and raised his glass.

"Okay, okay, in that case, let's drink this glass of wine, let's let bygones be bygones, and get along well from now on."

Leng Yu also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we are a family, let's not make things too awkward because of this."

Luo Lan was also quite pleased and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, everyone, drink up the wine in your glass. We are all a family from now on. When a family is together, such unpleasant things will never happen again."

After saying this, she raised the wine glass in her hand. Everyone raised their glasses after hearing her words. After several glasses were raised, everyone tilted their heads back and drank the wine in their glasses...

The family dinner ended in the early morning, and Leng Yu and Luo Lan supported each other back to the room.

Luo Lan was lying on the bed with a blushing face, and she hooked her finger at Leng Yu with a smile on her lips.

"Husband, you haven't slept in this bed for five years. Do you miss it?"

Leng Yu fell beside her, half-closed his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bed, his bright eyes were filled with a smile, and he murmured,

"Yes, I miss not only this bed, but you as well. I even miss the air here. I often think of the scene when you first came at night, and the scene when we were happy together. I have waited for this day for too long."

After saying this, he turned over and turned her body over. The moment their eyes met, Luo Lan realized what was going to happen next, so her face turned red all the way to her ears...

There was a slight smell of alcohol in Leng Yu's breath, and Luo Lan's breathing also became rapid at this time.

She simply raised her hands and hooked them around his neck, pouting her lips like a spoiled child and bringing them to him, "Husband, kiss, today I want..."

Looking at her delicate face and those tempting red lips, Leng Yu felt the blood rushing to his head. In just a moment, he felt so hot all over that he began to tear at his collar.

Luo Lan knew that this guy could not resist her temptation. So, she took advantage of his drunkenness and continued to tease him, adding fuel to the fire.

"Husband, I'm so hot..."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her clothes one by one, with a smile on her lips and tenderness in her eyes.

At this time, Leng Yu, who was already burning with desire, used both hands to tear off her clothes until her inner underwear was exposed. Then he looked at her with excitement and infatuation.

Luo Lan's drunkenness reached its peak at this moment. She kept twisting her body and urging:

"My husband, I am burning with desire and need you to put it out."

Her words, coupled with her movements and expressions, made Leng Yu stiffen instantly. He didn't have time to do the previous movements and went straight to the point...

That night, the two drunken, bewildered people filled the room with ripples. Their panting and shouting made the mosquitoes and flies flying by the door unable to help but cover their ears and eyes...

…

Inside the Imperial Palace

As soon as the Emperor had sent an order to the Ministry of Rites to process his plan to make Concubine Li the Empress Dowager, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the court ministers.

Among these people, Liu Dechang was the leader.

"Your Majesty, I believe it is not appropriate for you to enthrone Concubine Li as empress now. The incident between Concubine Li and the Chu people outside Prince Xi's mansion some time ago is still being criticized by the people. If you enthrone her as empress now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Leng Xi wanted to say a few words, but because Concubine Li was his mother, if he said too much it might arouse suspicion, so he could only look at Yu Shiming and wink at him.

Although Yu Shiming also felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to establish a queen at such an old age, after careful consideration, he realized that if Concubine Li became the queen, it would be beneficial to his son-in-law Leng Xi, and not harmful. Why not take the opportunity to do him a favor?

Thinking of this, he took two steps forward, bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, I think it is most appropriate to make Concubine Li the Empress at this time. The harem cannot be left without a leader for a day. Concubine Li has served Your Majesty for many years and has devoted herself to you. It is most appropriate to make her the Empress."

Yu Shiming's words made Li Shangshu beside Liu Dechang quite dissatisfied. After exchanging a glance with Liu Dechang, he took two steps forward and bowed in reply:

"Your Majesty, the late Queen passed away many years ago, and you are already old. I feel it is not appropriate to appoint a Queen at this time. Please reconsider."

After hearing this, half of the ministers clasped their fists and said:

"Your Majesty, please reconsider..."
