This name made everyone present a little confused, especially Zhang Yuan. He opened his mouth in shock, not knowing what to do.
Luo Lan looked at Zhang Yuan and said seriously:
"Go back and ask your mother what she thinks, then you can discuss it and give this girl an answer within ten days."
Zhang Yuan blushed, lowered his head and nodded, "I understand. I am sorry for causing the princess so much trouble. I am at fault."
Luo Lan nodded and looked at Xiao Lingzi again, "General Ling, don't try to avoid this matter. Getting married is a matter of time. You have no parents or family, so you have to make the decision yourself. The prince and I are waiting for your reply."
Xiao Lingzi stole a glance at Fang Qiu, a hint of restraint flashed in his eyes, and then nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Princess. I will definitely consider this matter carefully."
Luo Lan turned to A Cai and said:
"A Cai, arrange for these two girls to stay and assign them some errands to do. We'll make a final decision after ten days."
Since they were here for these two men, why didn't she act as a peacemaker? Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi were both old enough to get married, so why would she turn them away when such a good opportunity came knocking on her door?
When the two girls heard this, they grinned with excitement. After thanking Luo Lan, they picked up their bags and followed A Cai.
Luo Lan said to everyone again:
"You all go down, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan stay."
As their master, she has the right to give them some good advice on their lifelong affairs.
After receiving the order, Xiao Shuangzi and others retreated one after another. Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi stood there somewhat embarrassedly.
Luo Lan looked at the two of them and said softly:
"Although these two girls are a little bolder, you can also see that they are women from respectable families. You are not young anymore, and you should think carefully about your marriage."
Xiao Lingzi blushed and glanced at Zhang Yuan, then replied with some trepidation:
"Princess, this happened too suddenly. I... I can't accept it right now, so... so let's talk about it later."
In contrast, Zhang Yuan was much more relaxed. He shrugged and replied directly:
"If my mother knew about this, she would be so unhappy that she would lose her mind."
Hearing this, Luo Lan nodded directly.
"Well, think about it later. Zhang Yuan's house has been renovated, so you don't have to worry about having no place to live after you get married. As for you, Xiao Lingzi, you have followed the prince for many years and have made great contributions. If you agree, the prince will buy you a yard so that you can have a small home of your own."
This sentence made Xiao Lingzi feel a little excited. To have a home of his own? He had been an orphan since he was a child. Prince Yu's Mansion was his home. He had never dared to think that he would have his own home.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Luo Lan said again:
"It's not just you two. If there's a suitable match later, Ayu, Ahou, the little twins, and the others will all get married. Everyone has emotions and desires. This isn't something to be embarrassed about. You should go back and think about it carefully."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand. Seeing this, the two of them saluted and retreated.
She thought this was a good start. Only when these men had their own families would they feel at peace.
In the evening, Luo Lan talked about this matter with Leng Yu, and Leng Yu also expressed his support.
"This is a good thing. Xiao Lingzi has been with me for many years and is usually carefree in life. No matter what the girl's identity is, as long as the two of them agree, there is nothing inappropriate."
Luo Lan fiddled with the incense box at hand and replied:
"Yes, and they are already grown up and it's time for them to get married. I admire these two girls for being brave enough to come and find their own happiness. I like people with straightforward personalities."
Leng Yu stood up from the table, walked slowly to her side, put his hands under her armpits, held her in his arms, and sighed:
"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you."
Luo Lan frowned and looked at him, snorting in displeasure.
"You're still so polite to me. Oh, by the way, I promised Xiao Lingzi that if he agrees to get married, I'll buy him a yard."
"It's all up to you. By the way, why don't you go to the palace tomorrow? Ming'er hasn't been in a good mood lately. Go and persuade him. Maybe he'll listen to you."
Mentioning Leng Ming, Luo Lan felt even more sad. This child was too worried and not good at talking. If he couldn't get over something, the consequences would be very serious.
So, the next morning, after Luo Lan looked after the children, he took Acai and Ahong into the palace.
It turned out that Leng Ming had already moved out of Dening Palace and lived in a small courtyard in a remote area.
Luo Lan wandered around the palace for a while before she found the courtyard where he was. When she arrived at the gate, she saw him sitting in the courtyard in a daze. She called out softly,
"Ming'er..."
Hearing her voice, Ming'er came back to his senses, stared at her blankly, and suddenly grinned.
"Fourth sister-in-law, are you here to see Ming'er?"
Luo Lan slowly walked to the round stool in front of him and sat down. Looking at his pale face, he asked distressedly:
"Ming'er, you've lost weight."
Leng Ming grinned, smiled with a sense of loss and shook his head.
"It's better to be thin, so thin that no one can notice me."
"Ming'er, what's wrong with you? I heard that you didn't want the servants to serve you, and you insisted on moving here to live by yourself? Why is that? Is someone bullying you?"
Leng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and shook his head slowly with a lonely look in his eyes. "No one bullied me. I wanted to hide, but I couldn't find a place."
"Why are you hiding? What's on your mind? Tell me, okay?"
