He pouted and nodded, "Why did you pinch me? What did I say wrong?"
"Who do you think I am, Luo Lan? A flirt? And then suddenly disappear? I pinched you, and you felt pain. I was warning you that you are not dreaming. Unless I die one day, then I will disappear."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Hearing her words, his face suddenly turned ashen. He immediately put one hand on her red lips and kept scolding her, "You can't say such depressing words during the New Year. Even if I die, I won't let you die."
He didn't let her say it, but he said it anyway?
She frowned slightly, her bright eyes flashed a few beautiful and lovely glances, then she climbed her hands onto his neck and said softly:
"What I mean is, I will grow old with you, and die with you. Although I come from another world, there is no way to go back. Only when I die can my soul travel back. So, in this life, I will not leave you. Now, are you relieved?"
Hearing her say this, a happy smile finally appeared on his face.
He held her head in his arms, resting his chin on her hair. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and slowly said:
"Lan'er, watching your performance today, I was really in a trance for a moment. I feel that you are not an ordinary woman. How come you can do everything? With this girl, Leng Yu has nothing to ask for in this life, except..."
He put his mouth to her ear and whispered softly,
"Lan'er, my father has restored my status as a prince, and he has also acknowledged your status as a princess. The Yu Palace will never be the same again, so I want to give you a grand wedding..."
Hearing him say this, Luo Lan quickly shook his head.
"Husband, there's no need for that. We're already husband and wife, so there's no need for those pretentious things. I think you have more important things to do right now. I feel like I've caused you trouble this time."
Leng Yu naturally understood the meaning of her words. He pursed his lips and said softly:
"Are you talking about the Wu family father and son and Leng Zian?"
Luo Lan raised his head, looked up at him, and nodded gently, "Yes, the status of the crown prince has not been abolished yet. Now that your status as a prince has been restored, they will still think that you are the biggest threat to Leng Yun, so they will definitely find trouble with you everywhere. You must be careful."
"I know."
His tone suddenly became a little heavy, and he held her arms even tighter. Thinking of Leng Yun, the sinister look deep in his eyes became more obvious.
The news that Luo Lan won three games in a row at the royal annual banquet spread like wildfire, making her instantly famous overnight. The entire palace and the court praised her performance, and even the people in the capital began to be curious about her.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the area outside Prince Yu's Mansion suddenly became bustling with people, and long queues of court officials lined up to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts to Prince Yu and Princess Yu.
Xiao Lingzi came to report the time in a hurry. Leng Yu and Luo Lan were still asleep. They had only been asleep for half an hour.
There was a knock on the door, and Ah Hong came over hurriedly to stop it.
"What's going on so early? The prince and princess went to bed late and haven't woken up yet."
Xiao Lingzi said anxiously and helplessly:
"Many people have come outside to wish His Majesty and Princess a happy new year and give them gifts. I don't know what to do, so I came to ask for instructions."
Ah Hong snorted contemptuously, then said:
"These people are all fence-sitters. Why didn't they come to see the prince before? Now that the prince is doing well, they come to pay their respects. In my opinion, they should all be driven away."
"That would require the instructions of the Prince and Princess. I wouldn't dare do that. What if the Prince blames me?"
"Then you can't knock on the door so early. What if the prince blames you?"
Hearing Ah Hong say this, Xiao Lingzi smiled helplessly, then frowned, stood in front of the door with his hands folded on his chest, and was wondering what to do when the door creaked open from the inside, and Leng Yu's pretty face and strong body appeared at the door.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi hurried forward and clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish his words, Leng Yu waved his hand and said, "I heard everything. Go back and tell them that Prince Zhennan is in Prince Yu's mansion and he doesn't like crowds."
Xiao Lingzi clasped his fists and nodded:
"I understand. I'll go back right away."
Seeing Xiao Lingzi leave, he said to A Cai:
"Let the princess sleep for a while longer. I'll go see the uncle."
No matter what, Leng Zian is his uncle after all, and he lives in Prince Yu's Mansion. There is no reason for him to turn a blind eye to him. Moreover, today is the first day of the new year, and he should go to pay his respects to him first.
At this time, Leng Zian was still sound asleep. His personal attendant Duosheng tiptoed to the bedside and called softly:
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"My Lord, my Lord, it's dawn."
Leng Zian's brows tightened, he half-opened his eyes, and shouted unhappily:
"You're calling out to the dead here so early in the morning? Get out."
Duosheng did not leave, but whispered:
"Your Highness, yesterday you asked me to remind you that you had to go to the palace to pay homage early this morning, and you had to bring the young prince with you."
Hearing this, Leng Zian sat up as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. His sleepiness disappeared instantly, and his face became a little more gloomy. After relaxing his expression, he turned to look at Duosheng.
"Hurry, change my clothes and go find the young master."
"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. You must have frightened the young master yesterday. If you go to him now, he might not agree to go into the palace with you."
"What should we do then?"
Leng Zian stood up from the bed and waited for Duosheng to help him tidy up his clothes, frowning and complaining:
"It's all that woman's fault. If she had said a few nice words to Xiao Zhi, why would he treat me like this? I'll definitely punish her when I get back."
"Your Majesty."
Duosheng dissuaded him helplessly:
"That's all for later. The most pressing matter now is how to persuade the young master to follow you into the palace. You boasted yesterday in Baohe Hall, and there will be no shortage of people coming to the palace to watch the fun today, especially Huang Shixiong and Liu Dechang. You should think about how to convince the young master."
"How do you convince them?"
Leng Zian's face suddenly became ferocious, his anger was evident, and his voice became unusually cold.
"Little kid, just hit him a few times and he'll be fine. I'm the boss, do I have to beg him?"
"Your Majesty, why won't you listen to my advice?"
Duosheng seemed somewhat helpless. He had followed the prince for many years, serving him at his beck and call, and was deeply relied upon by him, so naturally he spoke more casually and boldly. Otherwise, ordinary servants would not dare to speak to Leng Zian like this.
Besides, the name Duosheng was chosen by Leng Zian. He hoped that his women could give birth to more children for him, so the servants around him were either named Duosheng, Huasheng, Huisheng, or Quansheng.
Leng Zian suddenly raised his eyebrows and stared at him, "Then what do you think I should do? If I don't beat him up, will he obey my will?"
