Leng Yu snorted solemnly.
"I have long suspected they had other motives for returning this time, and now it seems to be true. I have no opinion on this matter. Everything I have said to you is true. I will not choose such a foolish act as a marriage alliance for the sake of so-called peace between our two countries."
"So what should we do now? There has to be a solution to this problem. And I think we should also find a way to prevent the marriage between Beihai Kingdom and Nanping Kingdom. Think about it, Tenggexiang only has one daughter, Princess Yunmeng. If there is any marriage, it can only be her. She is very thoughtful. If she becomes a member of the royal family of Nanping Kingdom, there is no guarantee that she will not instigate the relationship between Nanping Kingdom and Daning Kingdom. If the two countries join forces to attack Daning Kingdom, it will definitely not benefit us. Besides, the two imperial sisters live in Nanping Kingdom. No matter what, we should prevent this avoidable war."
Luo Lan's analysis made Leng Yu fall into deep thought.
A deep furrow instantly appeared on his brow.
After pondering for a while, he shook his head firmly.
"No matter what, I will not marry her as my concubine. Lan'er is enough for my harem. If those concubines were sent to the palace at this time, the palace would be in chaos during this period."
When talking about the concubines who will enter the palace tomorrow, Luo Lan also scratched his head.
Princess Yongning not only wants Leng Yu to choose a few from among them, but also wants to choose concubines for Leng Xi and Leng Ming. She is really overreaching.
…
Mingwang Mansion
After Leng Ming and Luo Xue took Duoduo to have dinner in the palace, they went straight back to Prince Ming's Mansion.
At this time, it was already late. The exhausted Luo Xue felt a little upset when she thought of Yongning's words. As soon as she returned to the palace, she saw Chang with a sullen face, waiting for them in the main hall.
Seeing her gloomy face, Luo Xue instantly became furious.
She took Duoduo's hand and said to Leng Ming,
"I'll take Duoduo back to the room first."
"etc……"
The moment she turned around, Chang called her, then stood up, walked slowly to their side, and asked in a sharp voice:
"The Emperor has ordered Ming'er to bring his family to the palace to attend the family banquet to welcome the two princesses home. As their mother, am I not considered a member of the family? Why didn't you invite me? Do you think I'm superfluous?"
Luo Xue's face darkened instantly. Seeing that Chang was about to start a quarrel, she directly instructed Xiao Li:
"Take Duoduo back to the room to rest."
After Xiaoli took Duoduo away, Leng Ming hurried forward to persuade her.
"Mother, that's not the case. Concubine Li didn't go either. Besides, all the people who went were young people. It would be so embarrassing if you went! We have everything in our house. Whatever you want to eat, we can ask the chef to make it for you later."
"How can it be the same? I can choose not to go, but you have to ask me first, and I have to take the initiative to say no. This shows how much you value me as your mother. But now, you didn't even say hello and just quietly left. Do you think I will shamelessly follow you?"
"Mom, we value you. You are the elder. Today, all the people attending the dinner are the younger generations. It is really inappropriate for you to go."
"Leng Ming..."
Luo Xue suddenly called out:
"It's getting late, and we have to attend the morning court tomorrow. Go back to bed!"
Originally, Chang wanted to target Luo Xue, and when she saw her speak, she finally found an outlet.
She pointed her finger directly at her and scolded her angrily.
"This was all your idea, right? You think I'm an eyesore, right? You didn't let Ming'er inform me, right? I'm Leng Ming's mother after all. You're hiding things from me. Is this what people should do?"
Seeing that Chang's words were getting more and more excessive, Luo Xue immediately took a few deep breaths and looked at Chang coldly.
"It's true that you are Leng Ming's mother, but I also have a share in this family. If you feel that this family doesn't respect you enough, you can find a place that respects you. Before you came, Prince Ming's Mansion lived a quiet and peaceful life every day. Since you came, you have made the family restless all day long. You have had enough, and I have had enough too. Please do as you please!"
After saying that, she walked forward and pulled Leng Ming's clothes, "Go back to the room."
Leng Ming also felt that Chang was getting more and more excessive. Was it necessary for her to press the issue for such a small matter?
He looked at Chang helplessly, sighed, followed Luo Xue and left.
Looking at their backs, Xiao Tao took two steps forward and gently advised them,
"Old Madam, in my humble opinion, no matter what you say, the prince and the princess are on the same page. You should stay in the east wing and don't come out unless necessary, lest the princess get angry and kick you out of the house. If that happens, not only others, but also Concubine Li will laugh at you. She will be so happy that her mouth will curl up to the sky!"
Xiao Tao's words once again irritated Chang. She already felt that she was inferior to others since she came out of the cold palace, and now she was ignored by her own son and daughter-in-law. If she was laughed at by that woman, Concubine Li, again, she might as well find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"You're the only one who knows more. Go back to your room and sleep. We'll go out tomorrow morning."
After saying this, she angrily swung her sleeves and walked towards the door.
Looking at her back, Xiaotao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile.
She had a lot on her mind, but she couldn't show it. Otherwise, if she angered Princess Ming, she would take the opportunity to kick her out, and then she would really have no chance.

Xiwangfu
After listening to what Yu Qiaoqiao had seen and heard in the palace, Leng Xi raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"The two royal sisters are back. Perhaps this is my chance."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at him in surprise.
