Sina's face had turned red at this time. Her eyes were blurry and she didn't know where she was looking or what was going on in her mind.
Luo Lan sat in front of her again, looked at Sina who was concentrating on eating pastries, and continued:
"It would be better for Leng Ming to find a princess as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will be idle like this all day long. When will it end? Sina, don't you agree?"
"Xena?"
Luo Lan called out twice, but Sina still didn't respond. She seemed to be thinking about something and forgot everything around her in an instant.
Seeing that she was silent, Xiaoling knocked on the table twice.
"What are you thinking about, you little girl? Didn't you hear your sister talking to you?"
The sound of slamming the table finally caught Sina's attention. She looked up in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Luo Lan knew that this girl must have been distracted just now. She shook her head and chuckled:
"Nothing, the emperor has returned to the palace. From now on, you can walk around the mansion as you please. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll ask someone to buy it for you."
After saying this, she said to Xiaoling:
"Mom, I want to eat the squirrel fish you stewed for dinner..."
Xiaoling put down her embroidery work with a smile on her face without saying anything, and nodded happily.
"Okay, I'll make it for you right away. As long as you like it, I'll make it for you every day."
"Thank you, mother. Thank you for your hard work."
Xiaoling waved her hands nonchalantly, "What are you thanking me for? By the way, is your father coming here for dinner tonight? If he comes, I'll make him some braised pork. Your father loves meat."
"Dad didn't dare to relax during the two days when the emperor was out of the palace. He was quite busy. Now that the emperor has returned, he can have some free time. I'll send someone to inform him to come to our house for dinner in the evening."
Hearing this, Xiaoling immediately walked towards the door with a smile on her face, muttering as she walked,
"Well, he loves to eat braised pork and pork elbows in soy sauce. This guy is so fat, but he still likes to eat meat."
What she was muttering to herself made Luo Lan and Sina look at each other and laugh helplessly.
When only the two sisters were left here, Luo Lan looked at Sina who was taking small bites of the pastry and couldn't help asking:
"Nana, why do I feel like you and Leng Ming have been arguing less recently? Didn't you always argue when you met before?"
When Leng Ming was mentioned, Xina paused while holding the cake. She swallowed nervously and replied with a smile:
"It's tiring to keep arguing. Besides, he hasn't bothered me recently, so I don't bother to pay attention to him."
Luo Lan wanted to ask her directly if she liked Leng Ming, but when the words came to her lips, she held them back.
If she really says that she likes Leng Ming, then trying to stop her will hurt her more. It is better to tell her her thoughts first to avoid causing her greater harm in the future. I believe that with Sina's personality, she will know what to do.
Thinking of this, she paused and said in a deep voice:
"It's okay for you two to quarrel or make a fuss, as long as you don't develop feelings that shouldn't happen between a man and a woman."
After saying this, Luo Lan half-closed her eyes and looked at Sina. She wanted to see how she would react when she heard this.
There was indeed a look of loss in Sina's eyes. She continued to bite the cake in her hand aimlessly, her eyes dull and not knowing where to look.
“Nana…”
Luo Lan called out softly, and Xina hurriedly came back to her senses and laughed in panic:
"Sister, I know I won't like him, don't worry."
Sina's appearance made Luo Lan feel distressed. She crossed the table, took her hand, and comforted her softly:
"Nana, I don't want to get involved in your relationship. Whoever you like is your freedom. I'm happy for you if you have someone you like, but you can't like someone you shouldn't like, especially Leng Ming. First, he's the Sixth Prince of Daning State, and second, he's five years younger than you. Putting aside the age difference, your current identity as a Chu national shouldn't be made public. If you develop feelings for each other, it will hurt both you and him. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I see."
Sina held back the tears that were about to flow out of her eyes, forced a smile and nodded.
"I won't have any feelings for him. He always calls me sister, and I treat him as my brother. How could I have any feelings for him? Don't worry, sister. I know the seriousness of the matter."
Seeing Sina's sad expression but unwilling to show it, Luo Lan felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Sister, I didn't sleep well last night. I want to sleep for a while. You can go and do your work first."
At this moment, Sina really wanted to be alone and quiet for a while.
Although she did not expect a romantic relationship to develop between her and Leng Ming, she still had fantasies about him in her heart.
Now, this fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by her sister. She felt that she could not accept it for the time being, and her whole heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom.
Luo Lan knew what she was thinking. After she stood up, she patted her shoulder and said comfortingly with lowered eyes:
"You should have a good sleep and don't think too much. Some things should not be forced. Just let it go."
She didn't know how to comfort her. If Xina really liked Leng Ming, then what she had just said to Xina was really too cruel.
But what can be done? If their relationship is allowed to continue, the end result will only be a lose-lose situation for both parties.
After she walked out of Sina's room, she went straight to An An's room. An An had been wronged today, and as her mother, she should go and comfort her.
As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she saw three children sitting around the table, muttering to each other.
"Huaiyu, An'an, Lele, what are you doing?"
Hearing her call, the three children turned around together. When they saw Luo Lan, An An was the first to jump off the chair, opened his arms, and ran towards Luo Lan. Seeing this, Le Le also followed. Only Huaiyu was still sitting there with a sad look on his face.
Luo Lan stepped forward, took An An and Le Le's hands, came to sit at the table in front of Huai Yu, and asked with concern:
"Huaiyu, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Huaiyu pursed her lips and shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."
"Why do you look a little unhappy? Is there something that makes you unhappy? Tell me, and I will help you deal with it."
Huaiyu still kept her mouth tightly shut and shook her head vigorously.
Looking at his innocent big eyes, Luo Lan knew that he must be worried about something.
Just as she was about to ask again, the quick-talking An An answered first:
"Mom, I know why my brother is unhappy. It's Xiaobao's mother. She said bad things about Brother Huaiyu behind his back and told Xiaobao to stay away from him, saying that his father is a bad man and he is not much better. Mom, tell me, isn't her mother too much?"
The more he heard this, the uglier Luo Lan's expression became.
Would Yu Qiaoqiao say such a thing?
