The lunch ended with Wu Linlin's anger, Luo Lan's embarrassment, Concubine Chang's suspicion, and everyone's praise.
After leaving Dening Palace, Luo Lan was thinking about finding a reason to stay overnight when Concubine Li stood in front of her. She looked at her with a smile.
"Princess Yu, are you free to come and visit Liyuan?"
Leng Xi appeared out of nowhere. He stood beside Concubine Li and nodded continuously.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to Liyuan too, let's go together!"
In the past, Luo Lan would have refused, but now she just wanted to go to Concubine Li's palace to find that Lu Ma, so she agreed happily.
"Great! Today is my first time meeting Her Majesty Li Fei. It would be a shame if I didn't go to your palace to pay my respects."
Concubine Li smiled slightly, "Princess Yu, please."
"Empress Li, please go first."
After she finished speaking, Concubine Li turned around and led the way, while Luo Lan followed closely with A Cai and A Hong.
Leng Xi put one hand behind his back and followed Luo Lan, looking at her curiously as he walked.
"Sister-in-law, are you a human or an immortal? Why do I feel that you are not a mortal?"
Luo Lan's face was cold and he replied in a gentle voice:
"Are you scolding me? If I'm not a human, what am I?"
"That's not what I meant."
Leng Xi looked at her with a smile, "I think you are amazing. You can do medicine, play the piano, dance, and recite poetry. What else can you do?"
Hearing her ask this, Luo Lan frowned.
"It's just some trivial tricks. Lord Xi, thank you for your praise."
Leng Xi suddenly felt a little emotional, "Ah! Now I am a little envious of my fourth brother. He is so lucky to have a woman like the emperor's sister-in-law by his side all the time."
This Leng Xi, although young, is a bit smooth-talking.
Seeing that he was fluttering all the way, Concubine Li couldn't help but stop and turn around to look at him.
"Xi'er, if you have nothing else to do, go back home. Your mother is having a few women's conversations with Princess Yu, so don't get involved."
Hearing Concubine Li shouting at him to leave, Leng Xi pursed his lips and stuck his nose out at Concubine Li.
"Okay, then I'll go play with my brother Ming first, and then I'll go play with the emperor's sister-in-law."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, winked at Luo Lan, and turned away.
Looking at his leaving back, Concubine Li sighed helplessly and shook her head.
"Xi'er is a child who never seems to grow up. She is too playful. Please don't mind her."
Luo Lan chuckled softly, "Prince Xi is quite good, very sunny."
She actually felt in her heart that Prince Xi was not a scheming person. Perhaps only a person like him could survive safely in the royal family!
After Luo Lan followed Concubine Li to Li Garden, he was arranged to sit in the main hall while Concubine Li went inside to change clothes.
She looked around carefully, and Ah Hong couldn't help but whispered in her ear:
"Princess, I heard that the harem is dangerous. This Li Fei asked you to come here, is it just to chat?"
Ah Cai also pursed her lips and agreed, "I also think she has other motives, but I think her motive is to get your fish oil."
Ah Hong shook her head in disbelief, "No way!"
"Why not? What woman doesn't love beauty? Especially in the palace where people compete for favor. If she sees something that can make people more beautiful, it would be strange if she doesn't think about it."
"Shh!"
Luo Lan raised his finger to his lips and glanced towards the door. There, several maids were guarding it, like wooden figures, motionless.
She whispered to Ah Hong:
"Concubine Li will be here soon. Go ask about someone named Madam Lu."
Ah Hong nodded solemnly, "I know."
At this time, Concubine Li walked in wearing a light blue dress, followed by two maids each holding a small box in her hand.
She came to the middle of the main hall and sat down, then looked at Luo Lan and said with a gentle smile:
"Your name is Shui Luolan, so I'll call you Lan'er from now on. Calling you Princess Yu all the time seems strange."
"Your Highness, you can call me whatever you want."
Concubine Li took the box from one of the maids and opened it, revealing a pair of exquisite ruby earrings.
"Lan'er, I brought this pair of earrings from my mother's family. Although they're not the best, they're still quite valuable. Since we're meeting for the first time today, I'll give them to you as a gift!"
Hearing this, Luo Lan was a little stunned. Concubine Li gave her such a big gift on their first meeting. She felt really flattered.
She waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, "Your Highness, you are too polite. I cannot accept this."
Concubine Li ignored the situation and took the box from another maid, opened it, and an exquisite red jade necklace appeared inside.
"Lan'er, this ruby necklace and these earrings are a set. You dance well and look beautiful, so these jewelry are perfect for you."
This scene really surprised Luo Lan.
What exactly does Concubine Li do? Why would someone give her such a heavy gift?
After she finished speaking, she handed the two boxes to the girls and motioned them to take them to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan took the box somewhat embarrassedly and thanked him repeatedly:
"Your Majesty is so polite. How could Luo Lan have the nerve to accept such an expensive gift?"
Concubine Li shook her head and chuckled, "That's nothing. I feel like I'm compatible with you. I liked you the moment I met you. If you have the chance in the future, please come to my Li Garden often and chat with me."
Although she said this, Luo Lan also knew that it would be unreasonable not to give her a gift after sending a gift to Concubine Chang today.
Then, she took out the same box as Concubine Chang's from her pocket and said, "Your Majesty, I actually prepared a small gift for you when I came here. I hope you don't mind it."
