The Surprise of the Old Lan Couple

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. The weather has really turned cold. There was a little snow, but it disappeared after a few days. However, there was a dry coldness in the air. Almost everyone said that this winter would be a cold one, and that spring would definitely come late next year.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi's lives returned to normal after the Shen family's affairs came to an end.

At this time, the king of the Black Wood Kingdom finally arrived in the capital.

On the day when the people from the Black Wood Country arrived in the capital, there were a lot of people on the streets, but Shen Zian and the others did not go out. It was not that they did not want to see the excitement, but there were too many people. Su Zhi did not like that kind of crowd very much. Anyway, it would be easy to meet those people. The emperor and the empress had already invited them to the palace for a banquet. Then they could observe closely what the people from this neighboring country looked like, and even have a few words with them.

The welcoming banquet will not be held today, but the emperor and empress in the palace are also very busy, so they left Xiaori and the other children with Shen Zian and the others.

The children wanted to go out, but their parents wouldn't let them, so they stayed home obediently. They gathered together to play checkers, three of them playing against each other, and had a lot of fun. Lian Sheng watched from the side, looking very focused. His little brows would wrinkle from time to time, as if he could understand what was going on. His rosy little mouth was pursed, which made him look particularly adorable.

The third prince was leaning against Xiaori, playing with a cloth tiger made by Su Zhi. Compared to Lian Sheng, he looked more like a normal little baby.

Su Zhi and Shen Zian sat together, each holding a book. From time to time, they looked at the children and then at each other. Their faces were full of the warm joy of a stable life.

"Zi'an! Zhi'er!"

Such a peaceful atmosphere was broken by a scream that was almost inaudible. All the adults and children in the room looked in the direction of the sound.

Auntie Lan opened the curtain and ran in. She was the one who was shouting just now. It was so cold outside, but her face was completely red, and there seemed to be beads of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she had just run in. Looking behind her, Father Lan's face was not red and he was not out of breath, but his face was not as calm as usual. He was as excited as Auntie Lan, his eyes were slightly red, and his hand holding Auntie Lan was shaking.

Shen Zian stood up and said, "Godfather and godmother, what's wrong with you?"

Su Zhi also stood up, went over to help Aunt Lan and asked her to sit down, and asked Daxue who came in with her to pour tea for the two of them. She saw that the two of them were running back.

Daxue poured the tea neatly and handed it to Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan.

Father Lan and Aunt Lan didn't hesitate to drink the tea in one gulp and put the teacup on the table. Aunt Lan held Su Zhi's hand, and the excitement on her face was even more intense than before.

"Zhi'er, I think I saw my daughter just now!"

"Yes, she looks like my daughter to me. Although she has changed a bit over the years, I still recognized her at first sight!"

Old Man Lan said. His voice was also very excited. He had not seen his daughter for many years. He had already made up his mind that he would never find her again. He thought that she might have passed away long ago. He thought that she was still living happily in some corner of the world, but could not come home. And now she suddenly appeared. How could he not be excited!

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were also surprised when they heard this, and then they were happy for the old couple. This was a good thing. They were now as close as a family, and the Lan couple treated them like family members. However, they still wanted to find their biological daughter. Now that they could find her, they were happy for the couple who had suffered so much.

"Grandpa Lan, Grandma Lan, you went out to the street to see the excitement. There must be a lot of people there, right? Did you meet Auntie?"

Xiao Ri asked, they had also heard of the missing daughter of the Lan couple, and always called her aunt.

Yueyue said: "Since you have met her, why don't you bring her back? I want to see my aunt, too. Grandma, you said I look a lot like my aunt when she was little. I want to see what I look like when I grow up."

Xing'er blinked and said, "Could it be that there are too many people and we can't find it again?"

"Are there really that many people? If we follow them, we won't lose our way again."

Yueyue said that she really wanted to go and see the excitement, but her parents wouldn't let her go. Her brothers and sisters were all obedient, so she had to obey them. She was the only girl, so she had to be well-behaved and not be inferior to the boys. Now she regretted not going. If she had gone, she could help look after her aunt. She really wanted to know what her aunt, who looked like her when she was a child, looked like now.

Su Zhi helped Aunt Lan sit down and advised, "Godmother, don't worry, as long as you see her, it's fine. As long as she's in this city, I will definitely help you find my sister. Don't worry, I will definitely reunite you. But, are you sure you're right? Is that really my sister?"

Aunt Lan said, "It's obvious from the looks of her. She's a little whiter, wears better clothes, and puts on more makeup, but her features haven't changed at all."

Old Man Lan also nodded and said, "The expression is similar. When my daughter smiles, she only has a dimple on one side. I saw it."

"Yes, yes, there is a dimple on one side."

Aunt Lan also hurriedly echoed, as if she remembered the life with her daughter. Her eyes suddenly became moist and she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe them.

Yueyue said: "Yes, I have dimples on one side too."

"Yes, our Yueyue also has dimples, so she said she looks like your aunt. Maybe you can meet your aunt this time, and she will like you too!"

After hearing what Yueyue said, Aunt Lan laughed and no longer cared about crying.

Shen Zian said, "Godfather and godmother, tell me where you saw her, how she was dressed, and who she was with. I'll have people help look for her. We'll guard the city gates first, and if we see anyone who looks similar, we'll keep them. If that doesn't work, we can ask the emperor to issue an order. He will definitely not stop your family from being reunited."

Old Man Lan said, "There's no need to guard the city gate. She can't leave. Lan Lan is sitting in the Black Wood Kingdom's carriage."

Shen Zian and Su Zhi were both stunned. If they wanted to sit in the carriage of the Blackwood Kingdom, then they must be from the Blackwood Kingdom. When the Blackwood Kingdom came to Liang Kingdom, there were not many women who could come with them. I heard that there was the Queen of the Blackwood Kingdom, some female officials, and the other was a maid. What was this daughter of Old Man Lan? The most likely one was a maid. After all, Old Man Lan said that they just lived by the mountain and made a living by farming and hunting. His daughter only knew a few words. It would be difficult to be a female official, not to mention the queen, because she needed to match the status of King Blackwood.

Su Zhi said: "That's even easier. We just need to tell the emperor about this matter, and he will definitely help. Then my sister will definitely stay with you, and your family will be reunited."

Auntie Lan said, "Zhi'er, I feel that Lan Lan's identity seems unusual. She and the Black Wood King were sitting in the same carriage, and she was dressed very nicely and gorgeously. I feel that she is not a maid or a lady-in-waiting, but rather, someone close to the Black Wood King."

Aunt Lan didn't dare to say that she was the queen, because not everyone could be the queen. She thought that even if her daughter was blessed by some unfortunate coincidence, she could only be a person close to King Hei Mu at most, and maybe not even a concubine. Rather than her daughter becoming the queen or concubine of King Hei Mu, she thought that she might have made a mistake.

Su Zhi thought, could it be that she had seen the plot in the novel? Lan Lan was kidnapped by bandits, but later she was lucky enough to meet the king of the Black Wood Kingdom, and then her beauty and kindness moved the king, who made her his queen regardless of the difference in status? This is a classic plot in the novel, even more inspiring than the plot of Cinderella.

Su Zhi thought that maybe this was the case. She was her godsister, and she was a time-traveling girl. What strange things could not happen? Xiaori and Xing'er's identities, her own identity, and so many things that could be called coincidences, so many things that seemed impossible to happen, all appeared in her life.

Now it seems possible that my godfather and godmother have found a daughter who can become a queen.

God is very generous to women who travel through time. After giving Su Zhi parents of noble status and an adopted son of noble status, now he has given her a godsister of noble status. This is really not surprising.

"Godfather, godmother, a woman who can ride in the same carriage with King Blackwood must be of noble status. I heard that this time King Blackwood's queen came with him. So when the queen is here, what woman can ride in the same carriage with King Blackwood and receive the welcome from the people of Liang Country?"

"Zhi'er, are you saying that's the queen?!"

Aunt Lan couldn't believe it. How could her daughter be the queen? She suddenly worried that it wasn't her daughter. She turned to look at Old Man Lan and asked, "Old man, is that our Lan Lan? She is the queen, is she still our Lan Lan?"

Old Man Lan was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and said, "It doesn't matter if she is the queen or not, as long as she is Lan Lan, she is our daughter! Zi'an, Zhi'er, please help ask the queen if she is Lan'er. We won't meet her first, you can ask her if she is Lan Lan, and whether she is our parents. If she says yes, then she is our daughter, if she says no, then she is not!"

After hearing this, Su Zhi understood that Old Man Lan was actually sure that she was their daughter, but because of her identity as the Queen of Black Wood, he wanted the Queen to recognize them. This was also a manifestation of his love for his daughter.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi nodded and said they would definitely help them find out.

It was done as soon as it was said. Shen Zian and Su Zhi immediately prepared to enter the palace and talk about this matter with the emperor and the empress. It would be easy to meet the queen of the Black Wood Kingdom. After all, their current identities were not simple.

The children also wanted to go to the palace together. They didn’t get to watch the excitement, but they felt that this time they could see more fun and excitement by following their parents, so they wanted to follow.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not hesitate, and set off in a grand manner with a group of children, surrounded by servants. (
