Huang Yun waved his hand and hurriedly explained,
"No, I'm just making an analogy. You're all cute little things, how can you be sheep?"
Only then did An An stick out her tongue and smile contentedly.
When Yang Feng saw Huang Yun had finished speaking, he also continued:
"It is my honor to serve in Prince Yu's Mansion. From now on, I will do my best to teach the children well. Please rest assured, my Lords."
When he said this, he glanced at Leng Xi deliberately. The two princes in front of him were his master in public and in secret, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them. So when he spoke, he said something to reassure the two princes.
Leng Yu picked up the wine glass in his hand and said seriously:
"Today is a family dinner, everyone doesn't need to be too formal. There is no master or servant at the same table, so everyone can be as casual as they want."
Yang Feng directly picked up the water cup in front of him. Leng Yu asked in confusion:
"Mr. Yang doesn't drink?"
Yang Feng nodded coldly and replied:
"I'm not good at drinking. After drinking, my whole body itches. Your Highness, please go ahead."
Seeing this, Leng Yu stopped trying to persuade him. When he looked at Huang Yun, he saw that he was also holding a glass of water. He asked again in confusion:
"Mr. Huang is not good at drinking?"
Huang Yun grinned and laughed, but then he straightened his expression and replied:
"Yes, yes, I'll go crazy if I drink, so it's better not to drink."
Seeing that the two gentlemen were not drinking, Leng Yu simply put down the wine glass in his hand, nodded and said:
"Since no one is drinking, let's eat more!"
As he spoke, he asked everyone to start eating. Everyone lowered their heads and started eating quietly.
This family dinner was rather quiet. Apart from the noise of a few children, there seemed to be nothing else.
After the meal, everyone went downstairs. Leng Xi, Leng Yu and Luo Lan came to the main hall together. He directly took out a hundred taels of silver and put it on the table in front of Luo Lan and Leng Yu.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, this is Xiaobao and Yu Qiaoqiao's food allowance for this month. From now on, they will have lunch here."
Luo Lan looked at the banknote and smiled:
"Prince Xi is indeed wealthy and powerful, but the food in our Yu Palace is not that expensive, and it is far inferior to the quality of the Xi Palace. Whether Princess Xi and Xiaobao can adapt is another matter. You left such a large banknote, we dare not accept it."
Leng Yu also followed and said:
"Lan'er is right. We at Prince Yu's Mansion have always advocated simplicity. The monthly food allowance is fixed. Today's lunch has cost us half a month's living expenses. For the rest of the month, we'll probably have to live on vegetables. I'm really worried that Xiaobao won't be able to eat the food at Prince Yu's Mansion."
Leng Xi knew that Luo Lan and Leng Yu said this on purpose because they really didn't want Xiao Bao to come to Prince Yu's Mansion to study.
However, the more unhappy they were, the happier he was. He wanted to see how the couple looked when they were unhappy.
Leng Xi patted the hundred taels of silver on the table and said generously:
"Then, consider this banknote as my donation to help improve the food supply at Prince Yu's mansion. That should be fine, right?"
Leng Yu winked at Luo Lan, who nodded in understanding and said:
"My husband, since Prince Xi said so, we can no longer refuse. I will accept this banknote."
After she got the banknote, she shouted to the people outside:
"Agang, Agang."
Hearing this, Agang trotted over to her and said, "Princess, you called me."
"This banknote was given by Prince Xi to improve the food at Prince Yu's Mansion. From today on, there will be an extra meat dish for each of the three meals a day."
Ah Gang took the banknote and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Yes, I'll go buy some meat."
Leng Xi doesn't care about the one hundred taels of silver. He has endless silver in his Xi Palace.
Luo Lan naturally knew what he was thinking. She rolled her sparkling eyes and suddenly said as if she remembered something:
"Oh, my husband, we have a teacher, but we don't have enough tables."
After saying this, she looked at Leng Xi again.
"Prince Xi, we are short of a table for Xiaobao. Why don't you go back to the palace and get an old one?"
"No need, I'll ask someone to send Zhang Xin over later."
"A new one won't do. These five children are together all day long. Their minds are beyond the comprehension of an adult like you. If the other four children use the old table and Xiaobao uses the new one, aren't you just creating resentment? Think about it, those four children will definitely say that Xiaobao is being treated differently, and they might even ostracize him..."
Leng Xi frowned and said:
"Then I'll ask someone to bring over an old one!"
Luo Lan shook the handkerchief in his hand and said as if he suddenly understood something:
"The young master of the dignified Tangxi Prince family comes here to study, and you actually want to bring an old table from home? If the people in the street see this, won't they laugh at you for being so stingy? This is inappropriate."
This is not right, and that is not right?
Leng Xi frowned and replied loudly:
"What should we do then?"
Luo Lan rested his chin on one hand, thought for a while, snapped his fingers and said:
"I have an idea. Xiaobao's relationship with these kids hasn't been very good. Why don't you just buy five tables? If they knew you bought them, they'd definitely be happy. Then Xiaobao would have a special place in their hearts."
Leng Xi heard this and nodded without thinking.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to buy it later."
Luo Lan blinked mischievously and said again:
"Oh, right, Prince Xi has many assets. Our Yu Palace isn't as wealthy as your Xi Palace. We've run out of brushes, inkstones, and paper in the study. You should buy some more. Also, the children will need swords, spears, and clubs for martial arts training. You can pick out a few from your Xi Palace..."
