Lin Mama smiled mysteriously. "Didn't Miss Li like the food cooked by the imperial chefs in the palace? For the past few years, we've made her eat that chef's food every day. After a few years, she must have gotten tired of it. And sure enough, she's finally gotten the hang of it."
Linghu Lan was both amused and exasperated: "..."
Old ginger is spicier, I'm convinced by this method!
So, was Pear White conquered by a barbecue?
Lin Mama smiled and said, "I'm doing this for Miss Li's own good. Miss Li has been focused on food all these years, but she's not very bright in other areas. I'm worried about her. Besides, she's getting old, and it's really not appropriate for her to stay in the palace. Not only will it waste her youth, but it will also make the court officials watch and think that His Majesty will change his mind. In the end, it will waste the youth of many good girls."
"What you say is right, it was my oversight." Linghu Lan nodded, relieved that Li Bai's marriage was on the horizon.
Moreover, what Granny Lin said was indeed true. Because Li Bai had been staying in the palace, many officials in the court thought that the emperor's decision to dismiss the six palaces was just a whim, and that sooner or later he would get tired of the empress and hold another selection of concubines. Therefore, the daughters in their families kept their engagements delayed until they reached an age when they could no longer delay.
As a result, many young women were heartbroken and complained bitterly. Now that Li Bai's matter has been resolved, their hopes have been completely dashed, which is a good thing.
In the evening.
After finishing his official duties, the emperor left court early and went to Suning Palace.
Now the two of them are together all the time, but they don't actually do anything. Sometimes, they just quietly read books, chat, listen to the rain, drink tea, and exchange a few casual words before resting together when it's time.
Granny Lin often said that the two of them, despite being so young, lived like they were in their seventies or eighties.
Jun Zhe didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, he thought it was great to be so casual, and he had the illusion that this was the normal way for the two of them to be.
However, Jun Zhe's mood was somewhat off today. As soon as he entered, he stared intently at Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan touched her nose. Something unusual must be going on!
"What's wrong?"
Jun Zhe chuckled, but his eyes held a hint of displeasure. He then instructed the palace maids around him, "Fetch a basin of water!"
Linghu Lan: "..."
The older they get, the harder they are to please. Where is my adorable little boy?
Immediately, a palace maid brought water.
"Give me your hand!" Jun Zhe's tone was full of dissatisfaction.
Linghu Lan: "..." My Dragon Subduing Palm technique is ten slaps, want to know more?
He silently complained in his heart, but still obediently stretched out his finger with a smile.
Heheda System: The Professional at Admitting Defeat.
Linghu Lan: Hehe, a lifelong single.
Jun Zhe took out a silk handkerchief and washed Linghu Lan's fingers one by one. After washing them, he wiped them clean little by little, and finally checked them carefully before letting Linghu Lan go.
Linghu Lan looked completely bewildered. What had she done today? This guy was acting all mischievous.
After seeing this, I really want to exorcise demons and monsters!
"Speak! What's wrong?"
"Hmph!" Jun Zhe snorted arrogantly.
"Will you only talk if I kiss you, hug you, and lift you up high?"
"Hmph!" Jun Zhe snorted again, but closed his eyes with a flushed face.
Linghu Lan: "..." Such a tsundere! She reached out and pinched Jun Zhe's chubby cheeks.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Jun Zhe opened his eyes, his gaze full of complaint. "Didn't you say you'd kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high? Why did you pull me like that?"
