His words were sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were empty and deep. Looking at him, Concubine Li was stunned for a moment.
She wanted to raise her hand to touch his face, but he dodged her.
Concubine Li blinked a few times, sighed and said softly:
"Xi'er, ever since you moved out of the palace, I feel like you've changed. Before, you would tell me everything, but now, I can't see you for days..."
“People change.”
Leng Xi interrupted her, his expression becoming cold, and he added: "In this ruthless palace, if I don't change, I will not be able to do what my mother wants."
Although his words were spoken softly, they made Li Tai's heart tremble. The look in her son's eyes when he spoke to her made her feel cold and scared.
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Leaving these words behind, Leng Xi turned around dejectedly and walked out of the main hall of Liyuan.
His expression was cold and gloomy, without a trace of his daytime appearance.
Leng Xi used to be an innocent and romantic child. He liked to play and laugh, but every time he was disobedient and laughed unscrupulously, his mother would make him kneel as punishment and warn him that if he wanted to achieve great things, he should not smile foolishly every day.
Over time, he felt that he could no longer laugh, and his mind was filled with only power and status. Although he did not like this kind of life, he had no choice but to do it.
There were many times when he didn't know what he wanted. Whenever he wanted to stay comfortably in his Prince Xi's Mansion for more than three days, his mother would summon him to the palace and give him some spurs. Therefore, he lived in anxiety and embarrassment every day.
He knew that his mother wanted him to be the crown prince and the emperor in the future. His mother said that only in this way would he avoid being like the Prince of Zhennan, who was exiled to a remote place by his own brothers.
When he told his mother that he felt the life of the Prince of Zhennan was a kind of relief, his mother would make him kneel again as punishment, and even not give him a single bite of food for three days...
Thinking of this, Leng Xi quickened his pace. He wanted to quickly escape from this palace, which was like an abyss to him, and become the two-faced person he was unwilling to be, to fight for the so-called power and status.
All this is just to fulfill my mother's wish.
…
Early in the morning, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion and waited.
Luo Lan was getting dressed, while Leng Yu was sitting not far away watching her, with a pitiful expression like a little woman who was about to be abandoned.
Stroking the long hair in front of his chest, Luo Lan looked through the bronze mirror and saw Leng Yu sitting not far away. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he smiled:
"Husband, why are you so sad?"
Although Leng Yu was very reluctant to let Luo Lan leave, his face was calm, because he knew that after this time, he would use the sixteen people in the sedan chair he promised to carry his wife into the mansion.
He pursed his lips and muttered with a pitiful look:
"My dear, your husband is upset because your dear is leaving."
Ah Hong, who was dressing Luo Lan, couldn't help but chuckle, and Ah Cai laughed out loud. Seeing this, Leng Yu growled slightly in displeasure.
"What are you laughing at? Is what I said wrong?"
Ah Cai stuck out her tongue and spoke first:
"We servants dare not laugh at the prince, but the prince and princess are only gone for a few days, why make it so sad? We servants don't understand."
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ah Cai in the bronze mirror, then raised his eyebrows and said reproachfully:
"Little girl, you are still young now. You will understand when you find your soulmate."
When Ah Cai mentioned her beloved, her face flushed. She lowered her head and muttered quietly,
"What are you talking about, Princess? Ah Cai doesn't want to find someone she loves."
Seeing her being so shy, Luo Lan laughed as if he had discovered something:
"A Cai, could it be that you already have someone you love? Otherwise, why is your face so red?"
"No, the princess will just make fun of me."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the basin on the stool and bowed, saying:
"I'll go get some water."
After saying this, she left as if escaping.
Looking at her back, Luo Lan looked at Ah Hong and asked with pursed lips:
"What happened to Acai?"
Ah Hong pursed her lips and shook her head, "I don't know, I've felt she's a little strange lately, and she's always laughing secretly."
Hearing this, Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"She doesn't really have a crush on someone?"
"No, she's a silly girl who only eats and sleeps all day. How could she understand such things?"
After saying this, Ah Hong handed the lipstick to Luo Lan and said softly:
"Princess, you can go out after applying lipstick."
Luo Lan took the lipstick and nodded to her:
"I understand. Please go out first. I have a few words to say to the prince."
Ah Hong knew that the princess was going to have some sweet talk with the prince, so after receiving the order, she quickly retreated.
Seeing that Ah Hong had closed the door and they were the only two left, Leng Yu came up behind her. He placed his hands on her shoulders, looked at the pretty person in the bronze mirror, and said lovingly:
"My lady, wait for me to come and marry you."
Luo Lan placed her hand on his, chuckled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work these past few days, my husband."
Hearing her say this, he leaned forward and wanted to kiss her face, but she blocked him with her arm, "Don't mess up your fresh makeup."
Leng Yu could only retract his mouth, then pulled her up, facing her face to face, and said softly and lovingly:
"My dear, take good care of yourself these days and get some rest. I will miss you."
Luo Lan raised her hand and gently pressed the tip of his nose. With a flicker of her brows, she replied coquettishly:
