Seeing that he was considering it too much, Leng Yu continued to persuade him patiently:
"I understand how you feel, but do you believe that love can develop between a man and a woman just by meeting them once? I do. When I first met the princess, I also thought she had other motives for approaching me, but it turned out I was overthinking it. Don't be so worried and don't think everyone is a bad person."
Xiao Lingzi lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Leng Yu patted his shoulder and said softly in a slow voice:
"Alright, as your master, I'll take charge of this matter for you. You and Zhang Yuan will choose a date to get married."
Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi looked up in surprise, "Your Highness, this..."
"Don't think too much. The girl has come to you without shame, so why are you hesitating? If you hesitate any longer, you'll be tactless."
Seeing them both looking at each other with blushing faces, he said to them again:
"I'll go to the account office to withdraw some money later, and then give you a few days off. Go back and clean up the house and choose a date to get married. Oh, and don't forget to tell the two girls about this news."
After leaving these words, he turned around with a smile on his face and left slowly.
Along the way, he has regarded the guards around him as his brothers, so, giving them each a family can mean that their life with him is not in vain.
But just as Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan were preparing for their wedding with hope, news came from the Chu State in the Western Regions that the Chu people were wantonly encroaching on the territory of Daning State in the west. After consulting with Liu Dechang and other ministers, the emperor decided to send Leng Yu to lead the troops to attack the Chu State immediately.
This news was definitely not good news for Luo Lan, because it meant that her husband would go to the battlefield. Although Leng Yu was reluctant to leave her and the child, he wanted to fight on the battlefield more and liked the pleasure of making the enemy flee in panic.
The emperor issued an edict to appoint Leng Yu as the crown prince on the eighth day of October, and the day of departure was also on this day.
Originally Leng Yu wanted to refuse as he had done before, but considering that his father wanted him to go to the battlefield with peace of mind, he gladly accepted it.
On the evening of October 7th, Luo Lan held Huaiyu in his arms, looking at An An and Le Le sleeping in bed, and murmured:
"My husband, I don't know when you will be back. By the time you come back, maybe they will already be able to call you daddy."
Leng Yu caressed An An and Le Le's little faces lovingly, and sighed a little sadly.
"Your father is a general. It is an honor for me to go to the battlefield. When you grow up, let your grandfather teach you. You must also practice martial arts well!"
After saying this, he looked at Huaiyu in Luo Lan's arms with a dark look in his eyes, pulled his little hand over, sighed and said:
"The same goes for you. I hope that when you grow up, you can bring your brothers and sisters to contribute to the Daning Kingdom."
Huaiyu looked at him and grinned, and his heart softened a little.
At this time, someone called out from outside:
"Your Majesty..."
Leng Yu turned around and saw Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi standing in front of them. When he turned around, they both clasped their fists and said:
"Your Majesty, we want to go to war together."
Leng Yu stood up and walked in front of them, patted each of them on the shoulder, and then shook his head.
"Your wedding date has been set, so don't go on this expedition. Besides, we have to keep people in the palace. I won't be at ease if everyone leaves."
"But Your Majesty..."
Leng Yu waved her hand to interrupt them. "The princess and the children also need someone to protect them. I can feel more at ease if you two stay here. Please stop arguing. Unfortunately, I can't attend the wedding on your wedding day. When I come back, you have to make up for it."
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi pursed their lips and nodded with red eyes.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will welcome you back when you return."
Leng Yu patted their shoulders and said earnestly:
"Take good care of the family so that I can fight the war outside with peace of mind."
Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan nodded solemnly, "We are waiting for the prince's triumphant return."
After leaving these words behind, the two of them left at Leng Yu's signal.
After Luo Lan handed the child to the wet nurse, she took Leng Yu's hand and returned to the room early. She wanted to stay with him for a while longer.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she nestled in his arms, a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but she still said casually:
"Don't worry, my husband. I'll take care of everything at home. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Leng Yu put his hands into her hair, kneading her hair while nodding reluctantly.
"Well, I'm sorry for the time I was away. You had to take care of all the big and small things at home, including taking care of the three children, and you also had to look after the clinic. After I leave, you don't have to sit in the clinic all day. It would be better to hire two doctors. This family needs you more."
Luo Lan felt worried from his words. It was no wonder. He didn't know when he would be back, so it was understandable that he was a little worried about his family.
In order not to make him worry, she nodded without thinking.
"Okay, do everything as my husband says."
After she finished speaking, she put her hand on his neck, pressed her red lips against his chin, raised her head like a dragonfly skimming the water, and left a kiss mark on his chin. The moment her eyes flashed, a hint of affection appeared in her eyes.
He lowered his head, looked into her eyes that could captivate his soul, and placed a kiss on them. Then he slowly moved his lips down, onto her nose, her face, and finally onto her red lips...
