The news that Leng Ming's family moved into Prince Yu's Mansion soon spread to Prince Xi's Mansion. Leng Xi was also shocked when he heard the news. Only Concubine Li was more sober and snorted coldly.
"In my opinion, this matter must be related to the Chang family. She forced people away."
Leng Xi's face became even uglier. He had originally planned to find An An in the next few days, admit his mistakes to her and ask for her forgiveness, but now that Liu Luoxue has moved in, it seems a bit difficult for him to see An An again.
He sighed helplessly, while Concubine Li raised the handkerchief in her hand with great pride.
"Xi'er, after all, mother and Chang are considered to be people who have eaten from the same pot. Now she is left alone in Prince Ming's mansion. Mother should go to see her, don't you think?"
Leng Xi's face turned cold.
"Mom, don't join in the fun. It will only cause a quarrel with the Chang family. It's not worth it to get angry and hurt yourself."
"A verbal dispute? No, she's a member of the Chang family now, and I'm the Li Concubine appointed by the Emperor. There's a huge disparity in our status. If she dares to say anything unpleasant to me, I won't tolerate her anymore..."
"Anyway, please don't cause me any trouble. I've put in a lot of effort, almost everything I have, to stay in the capital. If you have time, why not go to the palace to see my two sisters and build good relationships with them? Maybe they can be of some help to me."
"I must go to the palace, but not now. I've already ordered people to prepare gifts, and I'll go there tomorrow morning. I must also go to Chang's place. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. But you, stop thinking about recognizing your daughter all day long. She's just a bastard born to a nameless woman. What difference does it make whether you recognize her or not?"
Concubine Li's words made Leng Xi's face suddenly gloomy. He glared at her angrily.
"She's not a nameless woman, and An An isn't a bastard. She should have been the eldest daughter of my Xiwang Mansion, and her mother should have been the principal consort of the Xiwang Mansion. It was you and the late emperor who got in the way, so I couldn't marry her. I didn't want to mention this matter, but you're still here making sarcastic remarks. If anyone says this again in the future, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
As he said this, he suddenly dropped the cup of water in his hand to the ground. Concubine Li tensed up for a moment, then stood up and left in shame.
Although she was Leng Xi's mother, she didn't dare to say much in front of him when he was angry.
Leng Xi's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was filled with resentment.
He gave up the chance to compete with Leng Yu for the throne, handed over the family savings to the national treasury as a sign of loyalty, and did not want to leave the capital. All this was for his and Xiao Min's daughter, An An.
Therefore, he did not allow anyone to slander An An and Long Xiaomin in front of him, no one was allowed to do so, including his own mother.
…
As the sky gradually darkened, Luo Lan came to Qinglian Pond early. Firstly, she wanted to wash away her fatigue in the hot spring water. Secondly, she didn't want to make Leng Yu wait too long as she had an appointment with him.
She took off her clothes, asked Ah Hong and Ah Cai to guard the door, and then she stepped into the lotus pond covered with rose petals with her bare feet.
This pond is very large, and the water vapor that constantly emanates from the pond lingers above the Qinglian Pond like fairy air rising into the sky, adding a sense of mystery to the place.
Emperors of all dynasties liked to bathe here with their concubines, and this place became a place for emperors to seek pleasure.
She immersed herself in the warm water, squinted her eyes, and thoroughly enjoyed the moment.
Although Leng Yu was very busy today, he did not forget the appointment with Luo Lan, so he went to Qinglian Pond early and told Qin Shun that no one should disturb him and the queen's interest.
Ah Hong and Ah Cai, who were guarding the door, bowed and saluted the emperor.
"Long live the emperor."
"Where's the Queen?"
"Inside."
"Well, stay here and don't let strangers get close."
"yes."
After giving the order, Leng Yu couldn't wait to push the door open and walk in.
He walked past one screen after another and came to the edge of the pool, where he saw a picture of a stunning beauty appear before his eyes in the misty smoke.
Her thick black hair floated on the water like a waterfall, and her skin, as smooth and white as fresh snow, was faintly visible...
He undressed and stepped barefoot into the pool. Luo Lan opened his eyes alertly.
When she saw Leng Yu appear in front of her wearing only a pair of bright yellow panties, her face immediately blushed.
He came to her, looked at her beautiful face like a lotus emerging from water, and could not help but sigh,
"My lady, you are so beautiful today."
She pouted in displeasure.
"Is it just beautiful today?"
"No, it's always beautiful, but today it's especially beautiful."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and held her in his arms.
Her wet hair stuck to his chest, making him feel itchy.
He just felt that his whole body was a little hot under the reflection of this warm water.
Her hand went over the water surface and went straight into the bottom of the water, gently pressing his back, teasing shyly.
"Your Majesty, why is this happening?"
Leng Yu held her in his arms, leaning against the edge of the pool, murmuring in enjoyment,
"With a beautiful woman in my arms, we're taking a bath together. Why do you think I'm doing this?"
Her fingers passed over his underwear and slowly lifted it.
"How would Your Majesty like to spend such a beautiful scene?"
He suddenly held her hand tightly.
"A beautiful day and beautiful scenery naturally deserve a beautiful woman in my arms. I heard that my wife is very good at underwater skills. Would you let me see it?"
She raised her head, and the water droplets from her hair splashed on his face. He pulled her up with a smile, pressed her against his chest, looked at her bright face, and said softly,
