"...By the way, Miss Gu just said she's not yet the Princess of Dehe. Does that mean she and Dongfang Yinzhang haven't married yet?"
"It's almost there. There's only one month left. The fifteenth day of the next month after their wedding will be the big day for you and County Master Yunlan to get married."
"What?" Baili Xuanlang was stunned. "You've already set a wedding date? We haven't even brought the betrothal gifts or the matchmaker to propose to Miss Xu yet. The three letters and six betrothal letters are all necessary, and I'm still not sure of Miss Xu's intentions."
Baili Qingluan was surprised and speechless. "You haven't confirmed Yu Lan's feelings yet? Last time you sent a message asking me to go to Xishui County with the betrothal gifts to propose marriage, I thought you two were already in love with each other. It turns out you are just wishful thinking."
"Yes, little uncle, you are not really wishful thinking, are you?" Su Ning'an followed anxiously, "I thought Xu Yulan would be my aunt-in-law soon. Fortunately, I didn't shout it out just now, otherwise it would be so embarrassing. And the wedding date was set by the Imperial Grandmother, and the betrothal gifts are on the way."
"No, you misunderstood. Princess Yunlan definitely likes me. I just noticed that she was extremely uneasy and didn't dare to like me boldly."
"Are you sure?"
"Eldest sister, I am sure and certain that she just doesn't dare to like me."
Baili Qingluan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, this was probably because the gap between their family backgrounds was too great.
If she had dared to marry someone of lower social status back then, Xu Yulan might not have dared to marry someone of higher social status.
Xu Yulan's mind is much clearer than it was back then.
Baili Qingluan got to know Xu Yulan better through Xiao Lingyu.
She lost her mother when she was young, and her father was murdered. She had to deal with all kinds of people on her own. She must have seen a lot of people and many heartless men.
On the other hand, he grew up doted on by his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, and had heard and seen all kinds of secret affairs in the backyard of the ministers.
She was still blind and married that bastard Song Linyuan.
She had the confidence to marry him at that time. If she was wronged, her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen, would support her. How could the Song family not dare to do anything to her?
As a result, distant water cannot quench nearby fire, and she underestimated the Song family!
Not only did she marry down, she also married far away. Tsk, that's so tragic, she almost lost her life.
Xu Yulan was not only concerned about the huge difference in status, but also whether her brother Langlang was someone worthy of trust.
What if Langlang takes a few concubines in the future?
She couldn't say for sure. At present, Langlang didn't know how to do it, but what about the future? She didn't know.
"Langlang, Xu Yulan didn't dare to love you boldly because there was a huge difference between you two. You were a prince and she was a commoner, so she had concerns. Now that she is the Princess of Yunlan County, a noble lady, with the Emperor and Empress backing her up, she can let go of such concerns."
Baili Xuanlang's eyes lit up, "Then we are a perfect match. She can feel free to like me."
"Don't be too happy too soon. If you marry a wife, your mother will give you two concubines and send you a bunch of concubines."
Baili Xuanlang understood instantly, "My Queen Mother sent them away three years ago. I sent them to Northwest Continent to plant trees! If she sends me away again, I won't go back to Xirong. I'll live with Yu Lan in Beiyi and build a mansion across from Prince Fu's Mansion in Rongcheng. My Queen Mother wants to see her grandson but won't let her!"
Baili Qingluan smiled, "Remember what you said today. Tomorrow I will go to the palace and propose marriage between you and County Lady Yunlan in front of the Emperor and Empress."
"Ah?" Baili Xuanlang stood up quickly, "I...I'm going too!"
"Don't get excited, sit down first." Baili Qingluan pulled him to sit down again, "You will enter the palace tomorrow, not now."

"Your Majesty, Princess Yunlan has arrived at the gate of the East Palace."
Xiao Lingyu was currently breastfeeding Xiaowu. "She's been so tired from the long journey. First, send County Lady Yunlan to the Jiaoyue Pavilion in Duhua Palace to rest. After the Emperor leaves court, we'll have her join us in the kitchen for dinner."
"yes."
"Mom...eh eh..." Xiao Wu was full after drinking, and pointed with his little hand in the direction where Mo Shu left.
"Xiao Wu, are you going to see your aunt Yu Lan?"
"Burp~" Xiaowu suddenly burped, and a little milk stain overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, Xiaowu, we can't go now. My mother and I need to clean up before we go see your aunt."
"County Lady, the Empress, mindful of your long journey, has asked you to rest for a while in Bright Moon Pavilion." Mo Shu, along with a group of palace maids, respectfully escorted Xu Yulan and her servant to Bright Moon Pavilion. "After the Emperor dismisses his court, we will have dinner together in the kitchen with the Emperor and the Empress."
Mo Shu opened the door of Jiaoyue Pavilion, bowed and stepped aside, then raised his hand to signal Xu Yulan to enter the room.
Xu Yulan nodded and entered the room. The furnishings in the room were quite luxurious. Xu Yulan sighed in her heart for a moment and then sat down on the chaise longue.
Mo Shu led the palace servants to serve tea, snacks and fresh fruits.
A moment later, toiletries were delivered. After the palace maid helped Xu Yulan wash up, Mo Shu saw that Xu Yulan was still a little reserved, so he said, "County Lady Yunlan, the Empress wants you to stay in the palace and make it your home. Please rest first. I will call you when it's time for dinner."
"good."
Mo Shu pulled Qiao'er out together and closed the door gently without making a sound.
Xu Yulan was indeed a little tired, so she leaned back on the beauty couch to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was gently pushed open.
Is this Aunt Yu Lan?
Xiaowu looked at the sleeping Xu Yulan curiously, and stretched out his little hand to touch Xu Yulan's smooth forehead.
Xu Yulan smelled a milky fragrance and suddenly opened her eyes. Xiaowu's little hand subconsciously retracted.
"Yu Lan, you're awake."
"Empress." Xu Yulan hurriedly stood up and was about to bow. Xiao Lingyu stuffed Xiao Wu into her arms and pressed her back. "This is Xiao Wu. She's precious. You have to hold her tight. Don't drop her."
Xu Yulan couldn't sit or stand while holding Xiaowu, so she had to continue lying down and holding Xiaowu carefully. If he fell, she couldn't afford the compensation.
Xiaowu noticed that she was very nervous, so he reached out his little hand to touch her face, then leaned in her arms and babbled happily.
Looking at the adorable Xiaowu in her arms, Xu Yulan relaxed. "Sister, Xiaowu smiled at me. Does he like me?"
"He can smile at you and hug you, which means he likes you. Look at her, does she look like me or the emperor?"
"Xiaowu looks more like his sister. He will definitely be handsome when he grows up."
The more Xu Yulan looked at the baby in her arms, the more she liked him. She couldn't help but lower her head and kiss Xiaowu's forehead.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "How is it? Do you like baby dolls?"
Xu Yulan looked at Xiao Wu with a gentle smile on her face. "I like it. Do all babies have the scent of milk?"
Xiao Lingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "You'll know when you give birth to a child."
Xu Yulan's face flushed instantly, "I... I'm not married yet, so it's too early to have children."
"It's getting late. You should get married. I asked you to come to Beijing to help you find someone."
