"Dad, are you mistaken? You brought that bastard back to replace me so that I wouldn't have to go to the palace as a living sacrifice. When did I agree to her taking over my yard? Now she's occupying my yard. Does that mean she's going to take over my identity tomorrow and become the true head of the Zhuang family from now on?"
Knowing that Zhuang Yueru was truly angry, Zhuang Tianming quickly soothed her gently, "Don't be angry, daughter. You know you are the one I love the most. How could I let that wild girl take your place? In my heart, you are one and only, Ru'er."
"Humph! Now Zhuang Zhenmeng has taken over my yard, what should I do?"
"Ruru, don't be angry. Actually, that wild girl wants to live in your courtyard, so let her live there. She won't be there for long anyway. She will be sent to the palace in three days. Then you can live in any of the courtyards in the general's mansion you want, okay?"
She really didn't want to agree to such an arrangement, but Zhuang Zhenmeng came to the country this time to die for her. Although Zhuang Yueru had complaints in her heart, she still agreed reluctantly.
Looking at Zhuang Tianming unhappily, Zhuang Yueru said, "Okay then, but I don't want to live in Lanyuan. I'll squeeze in at Mother's Fanghua Garden for a few days. Dad, if you want to live in Lanyuan, that's fine too. Otherwise, you can live in Yushu Pavilion."
Lanyuan is where Qin Susu once stayed. Since Qin Susu left, the courtyard has been basically vacant. Later, Ji Hongmei simply separated half of the Lanyuan and turned it into a Buddhist temple. It is precisely because this courtyard has been influenced by incense that it looks both cold and weird.
The Yushu Pavilion is the guest room of the general's mansion. Its facilities are relatively simple compared to the courtyard where the owner lives. In addition, the Yushu Pavilion is closer to the main street, which is a big market and is usually quite noisy. So if you look at it by the number of people, Lanyuan is naturally more suitable for living.
Zhuang Tianming arranged, "Then you and your mother will live in Fanghua Garden, and I will move to Lanyuan for a few days."
"Um...thank you, Dad!"
After the accommodation was arranged, Zhuang Yueru and Ji Hongmei took their luggage and entered Fanghua Garden, while Zhuang Tianming moved into the unnervingly quiet Lanyuan.
Luosuo Kingdom. Imperial Palace
The Emperor walked quickly towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Tianqi Palace, with only a young eunuch named Yun Gonggong following him.
At this time, most of the lights in Tianqi Palace had been extinguished. Although Yu Jianxuan knew that his mother, Queen He Xinhui, had already gone to bed, he still asked the guards to pass on the message.
"Tell the Queen Mother that I have something to discuss with her and ask her to prepare well."
The emperor has the highest status in the entire palace. Since Yu Jianxuan has given the order, the guard at the gate dare not disobey. Although it was already past the hour of Xu, he still followed Yu Jianxuan's words and ran to Empress Dowager He's bedroom.
The guard at the door said outside: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has something to see you about."
The Queen Mother's maid immediately responded, "It's so late. Is there anything the Emperor can't discuss tomorrow? The Queen Mother has gone to bed. If the matter is not extremely important, the Queen Mother asks the Emperor to come back tomorrow morning."
"No, I have something very important to discuss with the Queen Mother right now. Please change your clothes as soon as possible. I will wait in the lobby."
Without allowing any room for negotiation, after Yu Jianxuan finished speaking, he walked to the lobby of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Although the Queen Mother didn't want to get up, the person waiting for her was the current Emperor, so she had no choice but to put on her robe and climb out of bed.
