"No." Wei Jingze immediately overturned his own words: "It has been wasted, otherwise I would not agree to let you enter the palace. If Lord Lan knew you have such talent, he would regret it so much."
Wei Jingze felt more than once that Lan Wenrong was not paying attention to Lan Yun.
The more time he spent with Lan Yun, the more he discovered Lan Yun's strengths.
It's like digging for treasure, there are surprises every time.
Sometimes he also regretted that it took him several months after Lan Yun entered the palace to realize Lan Yun's good qualities.
Lan Yun smiled and said, "Fortunately, he didn't find out, otherwise he would definitely want me to surrender to Prince Duan, just like he asked my eldest brother to be loyal to Prince Duan."
Wei Jingze: "Yes, but Lan Xun's perspective on people is much better than Lord Lan's. He knows how to be loyal to the emperor instead of trying to help someone else seize the throne."
Lan Yun also discovered that the original owner, Lin Huanyi, and Lan Xun, and Lan Wenrong, Jiang Qing, and Lan Ci really didn't look like a family.
At first, Lan Wenrong was attracted by Lin Huanyi's gentleness, so he tried every means to marry her. But after the novelty wore off, he became cold.
Lin Huanyi has a weak character, but she is deeply loved by Old Lady Lan, especially after she gave birth to two sons, Old Lady Lan was even more satisfied with her.
Because Lan Xun has been extremely smart since he was a child, Lan Wenrong is satisfied with him and also treats Lin Huanyi well.
Jiang Qing disliked Lin Huanyi and the other two, and often gave them a cold shoulder. Lan Ci followed suit and never dared to act rudely towards Lan Xun, but she could find ways to bully Lan Yun.
Later, Madam Lan died of illness, and the six people in the Lan family seemed to be divided into two families, and even their personalities were different.
Speaking of Lan Xun, Wei Jingze couldn't help but wonder: "Lan Xun treats you well as his younger brother, so why hasn't he noticed your strengths? Or is it that you, Yun, are deliberately hiding your shortcomings?"
Lan Yun calmly answered Wei Jingze's doubts: "Zhi Heng knows that I have been neglected since I was a child and used to being denied by my father. Therefore, even if I have any ideas, I dare not bring them up. My eldest brother treats me well, but he is also very busy and can't take care of me."
Wei Jingze understood what Lan Yun said.
Lan Yun was not favored by Lan Wenrong and was bullied by Lan Ci since childhood. Even though he had talents, he dared not show them for fear of being rejected.
Fortunately, he basically did not discourage Lan Yun's enthusiasm, otherwise Lan Yun might be like a turtle, finally sticking his head out, but shrinking it again because of his denial. In this way, he would not be able to see the confident Lan Yun now.
Wei Jingze said seriously: "I support whatever Ayun wants to do, so Ayun should be brave enough to express his ideas to me."
"Okay." Lan Yun's eyes were so gentle that they could drip water: "I have performed so well recently, Zhiheng wants to reward me."
Wei Jingze had a hunch that the reward Lan Yun wanted was probably not very serious, but he felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.
Besides, he just told Lan Yun to express his ideas bravely in front of him and he would support him. He couldn't just contradict himself after saying something.
"What reward does Yun want?"
Lan Yun curved her eyebrows, pinched Wei Jingze's fingers ambiguously, and whispered something in Wei Jingze's ear, which instantly made Wei Jingze feel a surge of heat from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his face was as red as the red plum blossoms blooming in the imperial garden.
Lan Yun actually let him wear a gauze dress and do it in front of him, and then...
"You're so evil!" Wei Jingze was completely different from the domineering attitude he displayed in front of outsiders. He was so embarrassed that he had to force himself to refute: "I'm the Son of Heaven! How could you do that!"
Lan Yun agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, Zhiheng is the Son of Heaven, then my Emperor, is that okay? Hmm?"
Wei Jingze closed his eyes and nodded with a dead heart.
He was really hopeless and couldn't refuse any of Lan Yun's requests.
——————
Wei Jingyan waited at home for three days, but there was no news from the military camp. He felt anxious, so he asked the secret guard to investigate. Only then did he learn that Wei Jingze had sent a man named "Lan Heng" to train the army.
This man was not only a martial arts expert, but his training method was also novel to the soldiers. As for what method it was, the secret guards did not find out.
Because the man was wearing a mask, no one knew what he looked like.
Wei Jingyan was very curious and wanted to go to the military camp to meet Lan Heng and see if he could recruit him for his own purposes, but he was unable to get away because he was entangled by Lan Ci.
Before, he had the excuse that he was busy with official business, but now Lan Ci knows that his tiger talisman has been taken away, and she uses the excuse that he has nothing to do to pester him in Prince Duan's Mansion all day long. She treated Prince Duan's Mansion as her own home and came and went freely before she even got married.
But Wei Jingyan forgot that before the marriage was arranged, Lan Ci was free to come and go in Prince Duan's Mansion, as if she was at home.
"Brother Yan."
Lan Ci's voice came from outside the study. Wei Jingyan waved his hand and the secret guard disappeared on the spot.
Wei Jingyan opened the study door and happened to meet Lan Ci's eyes, who was stopped by a servant.
Now when Wei Jingyan saw Lan Ci, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
He had seen too many conspiracies and intrigues since he was a child. On the surface, he was the most beloved prince of the late emperor, but the late emperor reminded him many times to support Wei Jingze to be the emperor and not to have any ill intentions.
They died a few years ago, and the harem was managed by his mother. However, his good father's words and deeds hinted that the throne could only be occupied by Wei Jingze. If he had other intentions, the tiger talisman would never be handed over to him.
He had been on the battlefield since he was fifteen years old and had made numerous achievements. However, it was not until last year when his father passed away that the tiger talisman officially came into his hands. He was in charge of an army of 200,000. The Imperial Guards and the emperor's exclusive secret guards were left to Wei Jingze, and the remaining small number of soldiers guarding the capital were managed by the Minister of War.
He got the tiger talisman, and his mother died due to excessive grief over his father's death. Otherwise, he would not be so passive and there would not be anyone available in the harem.
Because he grew up in a complicated environment, he was moved when he saw the innocent Lan Ci in the Lan Mansion and decided to protect Lan Ci's kindness.
But being too kind is stupid.
He also realized that Lan Ci was only kind before. As he grew older, he didn't know when Lan Ci became willful, a spoiled little boy.
Wei Jingyan asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Lan Ci pushed the servant away, glared at him fiercely, and snorted.
Then he stepped forward and took Wei Jingyan's wrist: "The wedding dress has been delivered, shall we go try it on?"
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, although a concubine or a concubine does not need to worship in the hall when entering the house, she will still be formally welcomed into the house. Moreover, Lan Yun is in favor now, so the wedding ceremony of Lan Ci and Wei Jingyan must also be grand.
They have been arguing a lot recently, and Lan Ci is almost losing his patience, but Jiang Qing advises him that as a concubine he should share the prince's worries and should not confront Lan Yun anymore.
