Luo Lan frowned and nodded.
"Well, the harem has its own rules. Since she violated them, we must deal with them."
"yes."
"My two sisters, these are all carefully selected beauties. Please take your pick!"
Originally, Leng Yu didn't want Luo Lan to get involved in this matter. He said, let the two imperial sisters do whatever they want. As long as they don't remove the signs of the concubines and don't let the concubines sleep with him, what can they do if they choose one?
However, as the mistress of the harem, Luo Lan still felt that if she did not show up, it would make her seem stingy.
The older Princess Yongping didn't care about this matter either. After all, she came to Daning Kingdom for another purpose. Whether the emperor selected a concubine or not had nothing to do with what she wanted to do.
Princess Yongning walked forward to the palace maids, looked around at them, and pointed at a few of them.
"You, you, you... the six of you, stay in the palace and serve the emperor!"
When the six beauties heard this, they were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, princesses, and thank you, Queen."
Yongning nodded slightly, and then she looked at the other women.
"Would you like to stay in the palace as servants, or would you like to go to the prince's mansion and be masters?"
After hearing this, the women looked at each other and bowed.
"We are willing to go to the prince's palace."
Yongning had a satisfied smile on her face. She looked around again and then pointed at a few of the women.
"The four of you go to Prince Ming's Mansion, and the four of you go to Prince Xi's Mansion. Whoever serves the prince well will have the chance to become a concubine."
After making the arrangements, she turned back to look at Luo Lan.
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for making arrangements and greeting the two princes. This harem must look like a harem and be lively and bustling."
Luo Lan didn't want to argue with her too much. After all, she was the one who made the decisions in the harem, so how long could they stay here?
So she nodded in agreement.
"Ahong, do as Princess Yongning says."
"Yes, my lady."
Seeing this, Yongping reminded:
"Yongning, let's go. This morning, a servant sent a message saying Xi'er wants to come to the palace to see us. If he doesn't see us later, he'll be worried."
"Xi'er? I haven't seen him for many years. I remember when we left here, he was the only one crying. Come on, I miss him a little bit. Come on, go see him."
Before leaving, Luo Lan told A Cai:
"Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing to stay can be sent back directly with some money.
"Yes, my lady."
After Luo Lan nodded, he walked towards Fengyi Palace with Yongping and Yongning.
They had just returned to Fengyi Palace and had not yet finished their tea when they saw Leng Xi coming slowly with Yu Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao, carrying a few boxes of cakes.
When he saw him, Yongning was the first to stand up from his seat and go to greet him.
"Xi'er, I didn't see you yesterday. I heard you were injured. How are you? Are you okay? I'm thinking about going back to Prince Xi's Mansion to see you."
Leng Xi covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then clasped his fists and saluted.
"How dare I bother my second sister to come and see me? I just felt a little more energetic today, so I came to see you and my eldest sister. I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you guys doing?"
Yongning sighed with a dim look in his eyes.
"Okay, but I often miss home and Daning Kingdom!"
Yongping came closer and changed the subject.
"Xi'er, what is this child holding?"
Xiaobao hurriedly presented the cakes in his hand.
"Aunt, these are osmanthus cakes and date cakes from the Zhang family's old shop in the city. My dad said that Aunt likes osmanthus cakes and Aunt likes date cakes. We bought them specially before we came."
Hearing this, Yongping took it with great emotion, and kept saying words of gratitude.
"Xi'er, you're so thoughtful. When I was in Nanping Country, this is what I wanted the most."
Yongning nodded happily.
"Xi'er is so thoughtful. She even remembers what my elder sister and I like to eat."
Yu Qiaoqiao hurriedly followed suit.
"When Prince Xi heard that you two were coming back, he kept asking at home what you liked to eat and the games you used to play with him when you were little."
The more he spoke, the wider Yongning's face became.
Luo Lan, who had been sitting in the main seat, watched all this with a calm expression.
Yesterday, Yu Qiaoqiao said that Leng Xi had caught a cold, but seeing his rosy complexion, he didn't look like he had a cold at all, so she suspected that Leng Xi was probably pretending.
Since he wants to pretend, he must have his reasons, so let him continue pretending!
So, she waved to Qiaoqiao and greeted her warmly:
"Qiaoqiao, Prince Xi has been ill for a long time and hasn't recovered yet. Don't stand for too long. Help Prince Xi sit down!"
Leng Xi hurriedly bowed and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not sit down any longer. I have something to discuss with the Emperor."
Seeing this, Yongping stepped forward and pulled his arm.
"Xi'er, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why are you leaving right after arriving? The emperor will be here soon. Let's talk about it right here! You're not feeling well, so don't run back and forth."
"But……"
"It's nothing, the Emperor will be here soon after finishing his court. By the way, Second Sister has selected a few beauties for you, all of them are beautiful. To be honest, Second Sister is a bit partial, the ones she selected for you are prettier than the ones she selected for Ming'er. You'll be able to see them when you return."
Hearing this, Leng Xi took a deep breath. Although Yu Qiaoqiao's face was a little pale, she didn't say anything.
"Thank you for your consideration, second sister. It's a pity that I can't accept your kindness."
"Why is that?"
Yongping looked at him in surprise.
"Xi'er, is something wrong?"
Leng Xi glanced at Luo Lan and hurriedly shook his head to explain.
"No, I came here this time because I have something to discuss with the Emperor. It's not convenient to talk about it now."
Seeing that he was hesitant, Yongning glanced at Yongping and then said "oh".
"Well, since it's not convenient to talk about it, let's wait until the emperor comes. Come, sit down first and chat with my second sister."
Looking at Yongning holding Lengxi in such an intimate manner, Luo Lan couldn't help but think in her heart that after Princess Yongning came to Daning Kingdom, she probably only smiled at Lengxi!
About half an hour later, Leng Yu finally arrived. He had many memorials to deal with and didn't want to come to Fengyi Palace, but Princess Yongning kept sending people to convey them.
As soon as he came in, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Long live the emperor."
After Leng Yu sat down in the right seat, he raised his hand to everyone.
"Everyone, get up!"
Then he looked towards Lengxi,
"Prince Xi seems to be in good health. Has the cold healed?"
Leng Xi hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I still have a slight cough and feel weak all over, but I feel much better."
"That would be best. Since you're here today, why don't you accompany your two sisters to dine in the palace?"
"yes."
Yongning couldn't help but remind him:
"Xi'er, didn't you say you had something to tell the Emperor? Go ahead!"
