Leng Ming was still in a bad mood and he also didn't want to participate in this hunting activity, but as an important official of the court and Prince Ming of Daning Kingdom, there was no reason for him not to accompany the new emperor on his first hunt out of the city after he ascended the throne.
Although he came, he had no intention of participating, so he just sat quietly by the side, staring at the gurgling stream in a daze.
Luo Lan came and sat down beside him, picked up a stone and threw it into the stream, causing a splash in the water. Only then did Leng Ming notice that there was someone next to him.
He turned around and when he saw Luo Lan, he was about to stand up and salute, but Luo Lan stopped him.
"You don't need to be polite when you are outside. Just sit down!"
Leng Ming nodded and sat down again. Luo Lan asked directly:
"Bad mood?"
Leng Ming sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sister-in-law."
"Leng Ming, I really didn't expect you to be so straightforward in divorcing Luo Xue this time. Do you know how heartbroken Luo Xue is?"
"I can't have both filial piety and righteousness. I have no other choice."
"Then what are you going to do? Leave Duoduo alone? Abandon Luo Xue?"
"I...I don't know. I just don't want my mother to disturb Luo Xue's peaceful life. She has been with me all these years, and because of my inability to work, she has suffered a lot. I don't want her to suffer for me anymore."
"But this is unfair to Luo Xue. She made a great decision to marry you, and then she slowly developed feelings for you. Do you want to lose them just like that?"
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I don't want to talk about this anymore."
After saying this, he stood up, bowed and clasped his fists in salute.
"It's a chilly day today. My dear sister-in-law, please return to your tent and rest. I will take my leave."
From his tone and expression, Luo Lan saw the loss and helplessness. Looking at his back, she shook her head and sighed. She really didn't know how to persuade him about such a thing.
She looked at the flowing stream again, thinking about Luo Xue's future life, and felt a little melancholy in her heart.
"Emperor's sister-in-law..."
Leng Xi's voice sounded at the right moment. She turned around and saw him bowing to her.
She stood up and nodded to him.
"Prince Xi wants to see me?"
Leng Xi stood up straight and nodded.
"There is something I would like to ask the Empress's sister-in-law for help."
"About An An?"
Luo Lan probably guessed that what he was talking about must be related to An An.
Leng Xi nodded without hesitation.
"An An has always held a grudge against me. I don't know what to do to make her change her mind about me. I'd like to ask the Empress Dowager for some advice."
Luo Lan frowned and looked at him. How could An An forgive what he had done just because she gave him a few pointers?
The harm he caused to An An has already made An An want to kill him. How easy is it to change her mind in a short period of time?
She sighed softly and shook her head slowly.
"I can't help you with this matter. Since you know she is your daughter, you should do something to make her admire you. An An is a child who can clearly distinguish between good and evil and hates evil as much as she hates it. You need to make her change her opinion of you little by little instead of thinking of using one thing to make her recognize you. This is difficult."
Leng Xi looked at Luo Lan and nodded, not quite understanding.
"Ever since I knew Xiao Min left An An for me, I've been thinking about how to treat her well, so that she can recognize me willingly and let me face Xiao Min in the future. But An An won't even give me a chance to see me. I really don't know what to do. If being a good person can make her recognize me, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to spend all my family's wealth to do it."
Seeing Leng Xi's anxious and helpless look, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly.
"Some things can't be achieved simply by giving away all your wealth. Being a good person isn't just about money. You know better than anyone how many mistakes you've made over the years. You've nearly killed her multiple times, and she's experienced this firsthand. If you want her to change her mind about you, you'll have to spend a long time doing good deeds, rather than rushing into anything. Also, you took the four women you sent from the palace to Prince Xi's mansion as concubines, which might make her very disgusted with you."
Leng Xi was stunned for a moment, frowning and pondering for a while.
"That person was sent from the palace to Prince Xi's mansion. I didn't want him, but I can't disobey the emperor's order. What else can I do?"
"That's your excuse. The palace also sent four beautiful girls to Prince Ming's mansion. Why didn't Leng Ming take them as concubines?"
"this……"
Leng Xi wanted to say that Princess Ming was the Queen's biological sister, so of course he didn't dare to take a concubine easily.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Now Leng Ming has divorced Liu Luoxue, but he still hasn't taken any of these four women as a concubine. This alone leaves him speechless.
He could only nod in response.
"What the Emperor's sister-in-law said is right. I saw those women and became lustful, so I took them all in as concubines. However, there's nothing wrong with a man having three or four wives. This can't be used as a reason for An An to deny me!"
"There's nothing wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines, but An'an doesn't think so. She's lived in Prince Yu's mansion since she was a child, and she only believes that men and women should be like the emperor and I, loyal to one person forever. But now that this has happened, there's no point in saying more. I sincerely advise you that if you want An'an to recognize you, it won't take you a day or two. You have to do something to make her feel that you're changing for her. I hope you understand."
After saying this, Luo Lan turned around decisively and walked towards the tent without hesitation.
She felt that no matter how much she talked to him, it would be better for him to do it.
