Ah Hong stood in front of her with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, I just went to the Imperial Study to ask, and the Emperor hasn't turned over anyone's name card tonight. I heard he's going to spend the night alone in the Yangxin Palace."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's heart suddenly trembled, and then he blamed:
"What did I think it was? What a fuss."
"Your Highness, Eunuch Qin also said that the Emperor questioned him about his incompetence, saying that he shouldn't have been dangling a signboard of a concubine in front of him. He said that without you, he wouldn't be where he is today, and that there can only be one woman in the harem..."
Ah Hong's words were incoherent, but Luo Lan felt warm in her heart.
She had originally regretted saying those things to him today, but now it seemed that she not only regretted it, but also felt a little ashamed.
"I see."
"Your Majesty, you... aren't you going to the Yangxin Palace?"
"No, let the emperor rest for a while. I'm tired these days."
"But...but didn't you and the Emperor agree that you couldn't sleep in separate rooms? I think that since the Emperor didn't turn over the name card for the concubines and said those words, you should go to the Yangxin Palace..."
Luo Lan sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her hair and pondering.
What Ah Hong said might make some sense. She should go and apologize to him. She shouldn't test him with such words.
Thinking of this, she stood up and came to the bronze mirror.
"If you want me to go, comb my hair properly. I can't go out with my hair down!"
Hearing this, Ah Hong responded happily and called Ah Cai over to help her dress up the Empress.
As night fell, Luo Lan, wearing a bright rattan green long skirt with silver silk flowers and a gold-edged pipa-collared outer jacket, was followed by Ahong, Acai and several palace maids. They walked in the quiet red brick palace and headed straight for the imperial study.
According to what Ah Hong said when she came back, the emperor was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study. If she didn't go to call him, he would probably go to bed very late.
When Eunuch Qin, who was guarding the door of the imperial study, saw her coming, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"You are here, Madam?"
"Where's the Emperor?"
"He's still inside. It's so late, and I've urged him several times, but the emperor still refuses to go to bed."
"I'll go in and take a look."
Qin Shun hurried forward and pushed open the door of the imperial study. As soon as she stepped in, she heard Leng Yu's unhappy scolding:
"I'm not sleepy, I'm not tired, and the tea isn't cold. I'll call you if I need you. Go out."
Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu who was busy at the desk and walked forward with a distressed look on his face.
Leng Yu saw that the footsteps did not sound like Qin Shun's, so he frowned and looked up, and saw Luo Lan walking towards him with a smile.
His face, at this moment, looked much more relaxed.
He quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked to her, and asked with concern:
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"What about you, Your Majesty? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm not sleepy. I still have some memorials to read."
"Can't we look at the memorial tomorrow? It's so late, go back to bed!"
"You go to sleep first, I'll be there soon."
"Have you forgotten what the Emperor said?"
Luo Lan frowned and looked at him with displeasure.
"Didn't you promise me that you would sleep in the same bed with me every night? Why did you break your promise today?"
this……
Leng Yu suddenly felt a little wronged. It was obviously she who said the sour words first, so he wanted to give her some independent space.
How come he has now become the one who made the mistake?
He walked over from behind the dragon table without saying a word, stepped forward and took her hand.
"Okay, I'll go to bed with you now. Nothing is as important as sleeping with my queen, right?"
Luo Lan then grinned and said, "Let's go. I'm really tired these past few days, and you're tired too."
When Leng Yu came out of the imperial study holding Luo Lan's hand, Qin Shun's eyes were as big as copper bells.
Only after watching the two of them walk towards the Yangxin Palace did he shake his head and sigh, muttering to himself,
"This is truly a case of one thing conquering another. I've advised you dozens of times, but it's no use just a few words from you, Madam."
Ah Hong carefully reminded him beside him:
"Eunuch Qin, you are a man who has seen through the mundane world. How can you understand the affairs between men and women?"
"Humph! Isn't Miss Ahong also someone who has seen through the mundane world?"
As he spoke, he swung the whisk in his hand with disdain and quickly chased after him.
Ah Hong chuckled secretly, then pulled Ah Cai along and followed.
…
The nights in early spring are not as long as those in winter, but Leng Ming at this moment is looking forward to the daylight coming up soon.
Because he was locked outside by Luo Xue, Luo Xue also claimed that he would be made to stand outside all night and would not be allowed to sleep in another room.
"Luo Xue, Xue, you have to let me know why you punished me, right?"
"Luo Xue, Luo Xue..."
"Snow……"
Leng Ming felt extremely wronged. He didn't know why Luo Xue didn't let him go back to the house. After knocking on the door for a while, Luo Xue finally opened the door when he thought it was about time.
"Xue, what's going on? Why are you angry? You have to tell me why."
Luo Xue stood at the door with her hands on her hips, staring at him with her pretty eyes.
"Why did you ask your mother to go to the accounting office to withdraw 1,000 taels of silver? What do you want to do?"
Leng Ming frowned several times, looking at her in bewilderment.
"You...what are you talking about? What one thousand taels?"
Luo Xue rolled up her sleeves, stepped out of the door, gritted her teeth and asked,
"Leng Ming, you've only been a second-rank minister for less than half a month. Although your annual salary is over a thousand taels, you haven't received it yet. The annual salary that the Xiwang Mansion deserves is just enough to maintain the family expenses. The money in the mansion is all saved bit by bit by my business. I just took over the business of Huichuntang, and it hasn't started to make money yet, and you let your mother take a thousand taels of silver and spend it recklessly on the street. Do you think this thousand taels of silver is easy to earn? Do you think your Xiwang Mansion has endless money? Did you ask me before letting your mother go out and squander it? Did you consider me?"
