Leng Yu was still about to clean the fish, but was stopped by Luo Lan. She pulled him forcibly, poured him a basin of clean water, pressed his finger in, and said worriedly while washing it:
"Although the wound is not big, it can be fatal. Fish is fishy. If the wound gets infected suddenly, the consequences will be very serious if it is not treated in time."
Seeing her nervous look, Leng Yu felt warm in his heart. He thought about how she looked when she first came and saw him like that. There was not a trace of disgust in her eyes, and she even looked a little distressed. This woman was really kind and lovely.
"Princess, the pot is burnt."
The cook standing at the door couldn't help but remind Luo Lan. Luo Lan, who had just cleaned Leng Yu's wound, heard this and hurriedly said to him:
"You are no longer needed here. Go to the study and keep the Calabash Brothers company."
Calabash Brothers?
Leng Yu's face was a little surprised by this title, and Luo Lan hurriedly explained:
"The Calabash Brothers are seven very powerful brothers. I'll tell you their story when I have time."
Hearing her address, Leng Yu looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, then pursed his lips and said:
"I'm not going back, so I'll help you pick celery."
"No, you can't pick it well."
"Then let me help you cut the cauliflower?"
"No, you won't."
"Then I..."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Luo Lan, who was busy cleaning the fish, suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at him, pouting unhappily.
"You don't listen to your wife? Can't you hear me when I tell you to go back?"
Seeing that Luo Lan was a little angry, Leng Yu put down the vegetable leaves in his hand in disappointment and walked out quietly.
Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed the two cooks and the kitchen helpers to take good care of the princess.
After Leng Yu left, Luo Lan asked the cooks to come in and help pick vegetables.
After she cleaned and trimmed the fish, she put it directly into the pot, turned it over twice, and fried it thoroughly with oil. Then she added water and seasonings, and spread cabbage leaves on the fish to make it taste fresher and more delicious. Finally, she covered the pot.
After the fish was cooked, she started cooking again, stewing chicken, stir-frying vegetables, and frying eggplant...
In short, she was busy in the kitchen all morning, and at noon, a table of sumptuous meals was placed in front of everyone.
Leng Yu waved his hand at the people with ink on their faces, "Gourd brothers, this is the meal made by the princess herself, you must eat it well and don't leave any leftovers."
Although this title made these people look at each other in surprise, no one cared, because the dishes on the table in front of them were delicious and beautiful, and they were made by the princess herself. What a great honor it was.
They were drooling with greed, but no one dared to sit down. Luo Lan asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Sit down."
The little twins scratched their heads and said with embarrassed lips:
"How can we sit here when the prince and princess are here?"
Hearing this, Leng Yu seemed to understand something. He pointed at a few people and pretended to be angry, pointing at them one by one.
"You really deserve to be called the Calabash Brothers, each of you has a big belly and a small mouth. Fine, if you don't want to see us, we'll leave. You can eat as much as you want."
After he finished speaking, he came to Luo Lan, took her hand, and said gently:
"Madam, I heard you prepared some unique side dishes for me. Let's go and eat."
Luo Lan nodded with a grin on his face, and replied with a smile:
"OK!"
At the moment of turning around, Leng Yu turned back again and said sternly to the seven people who were still standing there, hoping that they would leave as soon as possible:
"Remember, no leftovers are allowed, otherwise I'll punish you by making you copy ten more times each."
Hearing this, the seven people nodded quickly and agreed, "We understand. There won't be any left. Your Highness, please accompany the Princess to dinner."
Seeing that they were intending to drive people away, Leng Yu glanced at them sideways, turned around, took Luo Lan's hand, and left with her shoulder to shoulder.
The moment they left, the seven people hurriedly sat down and began to wolf down the delicious food.
Three days passed in a flash, and the seven men lived up to expectations. They worked hard in the study all night and finally wrote 100 copies of "The Rules for Disciples" in the morning.
When Luo Lan and Leng Yu arrived at the study, they saw the seven people lying there sleeping in all directions. Ah Gang, who was following behind them, explained:
"They didn't sleep all night and only went to bed after the cockcrow."
Leng Yu suddenly sighed distressedly, and then said to A Gang:
"Let them sleep a little longer and don't disturb them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the thick stack of "Discipline for Students" from the table and immediately felt it was heavy.
Today is the punishment deadline set by the emperor, so Luo Lan and Leng Yu rushed to the palace with the one hundred copies of the Disciple Rules.
Sitting in the carriage, Leng Yu held Luo Lan's hand and said softly:
"My dear, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. There will be a lantern festival in the city. Let's go and see it!"
Ancient lantern festival?
Luo Lan suddenly became interested and nodded excitedly, "Okay, are there any lantern riddles? I'm the best at it."
"Yes, every year during the Lantern Festival, the Lihua Academy in the capital holds a lantern riddle guessing competition. Because it's an event sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, the person who guesses the most is awarded a medal as the smartest person in the capital."
Hearing this, Luo Lan immediately became interested. She was very good at guessing riddles. How could she not participate in such an interesting event?
So, she immediately started dancing with joy, and said proudly:
"Then I will take this title."
Seeing her childlike appearance, Leng Yu couldn't help but reveal a doting smile, then raised his hand and gently pressed her nose, muttering,
"You've already been hailed by the people as the most talented woman in Daning State. If you were to become the smartest person, wouldn't the capital city be too full to accommodate you?"
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows proudly, pointed at his chest and said mischievously:
"It doesn't matter whether the capital can hold it or not, as long as it fits here, it's enough."
Leng Yu raised his hand and pressed her hand on his chest. He looked at her with a pair of affectionate eyes and said lovingly:
"My heart isn't big enough to hold only Lan'er."
Having said that, he suddenly changed his tone, blinked a few times, and said with a wicked smile:
"If Lan'er can give birth to another little Lan'er or little Lengyu for me, that would be another matter."
"Hate."
His words made Luo Lan's face turn red with shame. She had not thought about having children yet. Every time after having sex with him, she would take an emergency contraceptive pill because she felt that the current situation was unstable and they had too many enemies to face. She and Leng Yu's life had not finally settled down, so she had no energy to raise a child.
Of course, Leng Yu didn't know about this, and she wouldn't tell him.
But looking at his expectant eyes, she suddenly felt a little distressed.
The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace. After Leng Yu jumped out of the carriage, he helped Luo Lan out of the carriage. Just as the two were about to walk towards the palace gate hand in hand, they met someone.
