Now, he didn't react, so he looked at Luo Xue slowly.
"That……"
"What about that?"
Luo Xue then looked at Xiao Ling,
"Mother, from now on just call him Leng Ming. He is your son-in-law now, and you call him Prince. What's the difference in generation between them?"
Leng Ming finally reacted and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, just call me Leng Ming. I forgot about that."
Seeing Luo Xue's face was a little ugly, Luo Lan pinched her lightly, and then said to Xiao Ling:
"Mom, let's just call you Ming'er. It's more intimate and pleasant to the ear."
Xiaoling smiled and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, then call me Ming'er."
Liu Dechang raised his glass with a flushed face and said happily:
"Now that my two daughters, Liu Dechang, are married, I am very happy. Come, my two sons-in-law, have a drink with me today."
Leng Yu raised his glass, Leng Ming also quickly raised his glass, and the three of them drank the wine in their glasses.
At this time, Luo Lan said to the four children:
"You can eat now."
After receiving Luo Lan's instructions, the four children began to eat the food in front of them in an orderly manner...
After the meal, Liu Dechang drank happily, and Leng Yu and Leng Ming naturally had to accompany him. Luo Lan asked Xiaoling to look after the children, and she pulled Luo Xue aside, wanting to chat with her about her recent situation.
The two sisters sat in the pavilion in the back garden of the Duke's Mansion. Luo Xue said directly without any hesitation:
"I've already made it clear with him that I'll be in charge of all matters at Prince Ming's Mansion. Go talk to your brother-in-law and arrange some work for him, preferably guarding the city gates. He's too weak, has no ideas of his own, and is indecisive. If you don't temper his temper, he'll never find his place and might lose his way one day."
Luo Xue frowned and shook her head.
"That's inappropriate. He's Prince Ming. If he were to guard the city gate, not only would he be unhappy, but the Emperor wouldn't agree either."
"I'll go talk to the Emperor later. As for him... he said he would listen to me. If he doesn't, I have my own way to deal with him."
Luo Lan looked at her and asked cautiously:
"Has anything happened between you these past few days?"
"No."
Luo Xue replied directly:
"I told him he could only sleep in the same room with me, not on the same bed with me. This is what happened to him after all the trouble he put into marrying me."
Luo Lan looked at her with some worry.
"Xue, you are not only punishing him, but also punishing yourself. You can't go on like this."
"It's all right. Life isn't just about love; there are many other important things to do. Oh, and I'm going to Huichuntang tomorrow. When I find the right opportunity, I'd like to open a shop and do some small business. That way I can earn some money without being too idle."
Luo Lan wanted to continue to persuade Luo Xue about her casual statement, but found that no matter how much she said, it seemed to be of no use.
She could only shake her head and sigh:
"You always have your own ideas. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters. As for the shop, don't rush. You just got married, it's too early. Besides, the emperor may not approve it. Let's wait and see!"
"Why didn't he allow it? Didn't you say that he didn't allow you to open a clinic at first? Now he has acquiesced. When I'm ready, I'll go find him myself."
"You, how come you have so many ideas in your head after only three days of marriage? Oh, by the way, you can't let your brother-in-law do the thing of asking Leng Ming to guard the city gate. Otherwise, Leng Ming will definitely hate your brother-in-law in his heart. You should think of another way!"
Luo Xue suddenly felt that what Luo Lan said made some sense. If she asked her brother-in-law to arrange Leng Ming to guard the city gate, he would definitely think that her brother-in-law had a prejudice against him. She had overlooked this point.
So, she pursed her lips and nodded heavily.
"Your words remind me that I can't let my brother-in-law do this. Then I will personally talk to the emperor when I go to the palace to pay my respects tomorrow."
"Have you really thought it through? Let him guard the city gate? Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to do it, or that it will lower his status?"
Luo Xue nodded seriously.
"If you've made up your mind, let him guard the city gate."
The reason why Luo Xue had such an idea was, firstly, that she wanted to take revenge on Leng Ming, and secondly, that she really wanted to temper his will. These past few days in Prince Ming's Mansion, she felt a little annoyed looking at the little remaining savings.
Leng Ming has established his own palace for six or seven years, but there is not a single cent of savings in the palace.
By checking the accounts receivable and payable of Prince Ming's Mansion over the years, it can be seen that all the expenses of Prince Ming's Mansion have been on Leng Ming. There is no planning at all for the food, clothing and other expenses in the mansion, and even the servants wear the best clothes and eat the best food.
From this, it can be seen that Leng Ming took things for granted. He thought that the court's salary would be given to his Mingwang Mansion continuously, so he didn't have to worry about saving any money. He never thought about what would happen if the emperor suddenly stopped the salary of Mingwang Mansion one day, and what would the hundreds of people in the mansion eat and drink?
She wanted him to know how difficult life was, how hard it was to make money, and to see the suffering of the people at the city gate.
…
The next day, before dawn, Luo Xue came to Leng Ming's bed, picked up the gong and wooden hammer she had prepared in advance, and hit his ears hard, "dong dong dong".
Just yesterday, Leng Ming caught a cold after sleeping on the floor, so he ordered someone to put a separate bed in the room. He also announced to the servants that he would sometimes feel uncomfortable sleeping in a bed with two people, but he was reluctant to separate his room from his newlywed wife, so he added a separate bed.
Luo Xue didn't want to expose his words. As long as he didn't get close to her, he could do whatever he wanted!
"ah!"
The sound of a gong was particularly harsh in the quiet morning. Leng Ming was startled and sat up. When he saw Luo Xue holding the gong and staring down at him, he rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise:
"You...why aren't you sleeping? Are you having a nightmare?"
Luo Xue didn't bother to answer his question, but threw down the gong and replied directly:
"Hurry up and get up. We have to go to the palace to pay our respects to the emperor today."
Leng Ming then realized that it was already morning. He rubbed his eyes again, looked at the gong, and said in a flattering tone:
"Can you please stop knocking on this thing in the future? It scared me to death. I thought the sky was falling."
Luo Xue ignored him, but opened the door and called the maids in to help her wash up.
This was her first time entering the palace since her marriage, so she had to dress more formally. The two maids were also very attentive and did not dare to be negligent at all.
Leng Ming suddenly felt so aggrieved that he had no place to vent, so he had no choice but to get up and wash up.
