"Well, tomorrow is the Ghost Festival on July 15th. Father wants us to go to the palace to worship our ancestors. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to inform Leng Ming. You should also tell the children to get up early so that we can go to the palace together. Oh, and you have to go to Yu Qiaoqiao and ask her to bring Xiaobao to the palace. As for Leng Xi, he has been banned from entering the palace by Father, so don't worry about him."
Luo Lan looked at the tired Leng Yu in front of him, touched his hair with a distressed look, and said softly, "
"My husband, I have already sent someone to inform Yu Qiaoqiao. You should go to the palace early tomorrow to attend the morning court for the ministers. We will arrive later. We will meet at the palace. By the way, my father has been recuperating at home recently, and you have been running between the court and the military camp. You have worked hard."
Leng Yu took her hand, pressed it to his mouth, kissed it gently, and shook his head.
"It's not hard. As long as I can go home and see my wife and children, no matter how hard it is, I think it's worth it."
"Then go to bed early tonight. We have to get up early to go to the palace tomorrow. I guess the emperor will keep Lele to play chess with him again."
"Well, in the past few days, my father has mentioned to me several times that he wanted Lele to come to the palace to play chess with him. I refused on the grounds that Lele had to go to school. I'm afraid I can't avoid it tomorrow. Oh, and he also wanted our family to move into the palace, but I refused. It's really inconvenient for you to go to Huichun Hall every day, and I feel that our Prince Yu's Mansion is very comfortable. Why should we go to the palace and suffer from that stuffiness?"
Leng Yu didn't like letting the children have too much contact with the emperor. He knew that the children would be very restrained in front of the emperor and would not even dare to breathe.
He had lived in such a repressive environment since he was a child, and he didn't want his children to live in such an environment. Therefore, unless he had to, he didn't want his children to enter the palace.
"Well, although the palace is prosperous, it is not as warm as our home. Even if you become the emperor in the future, I hope to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion. If there is a chance, we can stay here for a few days and find the happiness we had when we lived here."
"Don't worry, Lan'er. Father has recovered well. I estimate that he will be able to attend court and handle government affairs normally in two months. I have made up my mind. When that time comes, I will resign the position of Regent and be my Prince Yu, managing my military camp. That way I will have more time to spend with you and the children. Otherwise, when I return now, the children will be asleep, and we can only see each other at night. I feel very sorry for the children and for you."
"Husband, don't say that. In this life, there are not so many things that go as planned. At least you can come home at night. There are so many people who can't go home every night, but they live a good life too! As long as our hearts are together, no matter where we are or what we do, we will feel very happy."
As she spoke, her red lips rested on his chin, pecking at it lightly like a chicken pecking at rice, and then she blushed and whispered intimately,
"My husband pampers me every night. Whenever I fall asleep exhausted, I feel like I am the happiest woman in the world. Even though we are busy with our own things during the day, at night we can bathe in love and fall asleep in each other's arms. This is the greatest happiness for me. So, my husband, don't blame yourself."
Looking at her slightly pouty red lips, and the redness that extended all the way to behind her ears, Leng Yu could no longer control himself and lowered his head. He placed his cold lips directly on her neck, biting it while letting out a low moan...
The next morning, Luo Lan had the three children change into plainer clothes. Before entering the palace, he took the three children to the Shangshu Mansion to pick up Yu Qiaoqiao and her son.
Yu Qiaoqiao had already known that she would be taking Xiaobao to the palace to worship her ancestors today, so she dressed early and waited for Luo Lan's arrival under her mother's nagging instructions.
"Qiaoqiao, when you enter the palace today, don't mention anything about you and Lengxi. Lengxi is the emperor's son after all, and you are powerless. Your father can't participate in the ancestor worship. He's not by your side, and mother is afraid that the old emperor will be angry and you will suffer."
"Mom, I know."
"Also, you have to thank Princess Yu. She is Xiaobao's savior, and she is also your savior. I didn't realize it before, but she is a really good person. You must thank her very much."
"Mom, I understand."
"Also, you know the etiquette for entering the palace. Don't look so stern when you enter. You haven't looked good these past few days, and your makeup is a little light today. Someone, please touch up my makeup..."
"mother!"
Seeing Madam Yu nagging in her ear, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but frown and interrupt her.
"Mom, I'm going to the palace to worship my ancestors, not to participate in a beauty pageant. I need to wear lighter makeup so that it won't look out of place. Please don't worry about me."
Mrs. Yu saw that Yu Qiaoqiao was a little impatient and nodded quickly.
"Okay, Mom won't worry about it anymore. You should go and come back early. Oh, and I'll go and tell Xiaobao a few more words."
As she spoke, she hurriedly walked outside with big strides.
Yu Qiaoqiao sighed helplessly. Ever since what happened at Lengxi's house last time, her mother's temperament had changed. She was no longer indifferent to her affairs as before, nor was she as taciturn as before. Instead, she nagged at her all day long, as if her daughter would suffer a great injustice if she said less.
At this time, the maid came hurriedly to report,
"Miss, Princess Yu is here and is waiting for you in the main hall."
Hearing this, Yu Qiaoqiao hurriedly tidied her hair and straightened the corners of her clothes, then quickly walked towards the main hall.
At this time, Luo Lan was chatting with Mrs. Yu, and Xiaobao was also secretly chatting with the three children. Their relationship seemed to be much better than before.
"Princess Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Yu Qiaoqiao bowed and saluted. Seeing this, Luo Lan smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, let's go!"
After saying this, she looked at Madam Yu again and said, "Madam, we'll leave first. I'll come to see you when I have time."
Madam Yu reluctantly held her hand and said, "I haven't talked to you enough yet, and you're leaving now? Come to the mansion again when you're free next time and spend more time with Qiaoqiao. She stays indoors all day, and I'm really worried she'll get sick."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled softly.
"Okay, when I'm free, I'll definitely come to the mansion more often. Madam, please get busy. It's getting late, and we have to go to the palace."
Yu Qiaoqiao was also urging,
"Mother, please stop holding Princess Yu's hand. We need to go to the palace. It would be impolite if we were late."
Madam Yu let go of Luo Lan's hand somewhat embarrassedly, "I...I am rude, you guys go!"
Luo Lan smiled softly at her, then called the four children and walked towards the door together...
