Yongping called her and Xingnan looked back at her unhappily.
She hurried forward and tried to persuade him kindly.
"Xingnan, you are tired. Go back and change your clothes and rest for a while. The Queen's sister-in-law will have someone send food to your room."
Xingnan frowned and looked at her coldly.
"Imperial sister-in-law, I've made a note of what happened today. If anyone dares to touch Lord Ning again, I'll make them pay double. Also, my savior hasn't eaten yet, how can I eat? I need to go see him."
Seeing this, Luo Lan hurriedly stood up from his chair, took two steps forward and advised:
"Xingnan, Lord Ning has gone to change his clothes. It's not convenient for you to go now. Why don't you go change into clean clothes first? I'll ask someone to prepare food for you. After you're full, you can go and thank him later."
Xingnan looked at Luo Lan and smiled, a rare sight.
"Okay, then I'll listen to the Queen. I'll be going back first."
Leaving these words behind, she ran towards the door happily.
Looking at her back, Yongping frowned angrily and quickly followed her out. Seeing this, Yongning also followed her out.
Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan with a playful look on his face, and suddenly laughed. Luo Lan couldn't help but ask,
"What is your Majesty laughing at?"
"What do you think?"
"I guess the Emperor is laughing at Xiao Ningzi's cowardice, Xingnan's stubbornness, and Yongping's embarrassment?"
"You should at least mention one thing, which is Xingnan's recognition of Xiao Ningzi."
Luo Lan nodded in understanding.
"Xingnan is a stubborn, willful, and unruly girl. If she's willing to be nice to someone, I'm afraid no one can stop her. But I'm worried that if she really falls in love with Xiao Ningzi, how are we going to deal with it?"
"It's premature for your majesty to think about this right now. However, the generals around me are already old and should have started families. Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan are both married and have children. Although Xiao Shuangzi has started a family, he has passed away first. Ayu, Ahou, Xiao Tanzi, and Xiao Ningzi have been serving the Great Ning Kingdom. Although I have given them each a mansion, they lack women to accompany them. I would like to ask your majesty to find them suitable marriages on a certain day. That way, I can feel more at ease."
Luo Lan nodded and chuckled.
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. How about this? When spring comes and the flowers bloom, I will hold a flower viewing party and invite the wives of the ministers to come with their unmarried daughters. Then, I will take the opportunity to find a good match for each of them."
Leng Yu nodded in satisfaction.
"That would be the best. I'll have to trouble the Queen to take care of this matter. The Queen must not forget this."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will keep this in mind."
Luo Lan then frowned and shook his head.
"Hasn't the Emperor noticed that Yongping has become a thorn in his side? If Xingnan really developed feelings for him, do you think Yongping would be furious?"
"What if she's furious? If two people are truly in love, no one can stop them. Besides, I saw a light in Xingnan's eyes. It's that kind of light... the kind of light you get when you love someone."
"Oh? Your Majesty is quite observant. Has this kind of look ever appeared in your eyes?"
Leng Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her lovingly.
"I naturally have this kind of fond look when I see the Queen, and it seems that the Queen will also have this look when she looks at me!"
Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled softly.
"Your Majesty is such a joker. Well, I've been worried about them all afternoon. Now that they're back, I'm going to lie down for a while..."
"It's rare to have so much free time without having to deal with court affairs. I'll just lie down with the Queen for a while!"
After saying that, he stood up and took her hand. Luo Lan raised her head and smiled helplessly, then followed him to the back room.
…
Xiao Ningzi returned to his tent and changed his clothes hastily. Before he could calm down, Ayu came and squatted in front of him, looking at him with half-closed eyes.
Feeling guilty about being looked at by him, Xiao Ningzi blinked hard a few times, then stood up from the bed and pushed A Yu.
"What are you looking at? Don't you have anything to do?"
Ah Yu followed behind him and said in a gentle woman's voice:
"I'm going to take food to Lord Ning. He hasn't eaten yet, how can I eat first?"
This sentence frightened Xiao Ning so much that he turned around and covered his mouth in panic. Then he realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly let go of his hand and shook it vigorously.
"You stinky mouth, what did you eat for lunch?"
Ayu laughed and said:
"What I eat for lunch is not important. What you eat later is important. Let me tell you, Princess Xingnan is bringing delicious food to you. You better control yourself. She is a princess."
Ayu's words startled Xiao Ningzi so much that he hurried to the door and secretly cracked it to peek outside. When he saw Xingnan happily walking towards him with food in his arms, he was immediately at a loss and paced in place, muttering to himself,
"What should I do? What should I do?"
At this point, he suddenly looked at Ayu and pushed him to the door.
"Tell her quickly that I'm not here."
Ah Yu shook his head in gloating satisfaction.
"She's a princess. I dare not lie to her. If she complains to the emperor, he will punish me for interfering."
"You can't just stand by and watch someone die, can you? Brother Yu, please help me. I'll help you if you need help later."
"I won't help you. Last time I drank too much, you went to the emperor to complain. You want me to help you? No way."
After saying this, he actually came directly to the door. As soon as he opened the door, Xingnan came in. She thanked Ayu repeatedly.
"Thank you, Master Ayu. Are you going out?"
