She sighed lightly, nodded, raised her hand and motioned Acai to stand up.
"Okay, since you insist on doing this, I can't force you. But you have to remember, if one day you get tired of it and want to find someone to spend the rest of your life with, you must tell me and I will make the decision for you, understand?"
Ah Cai stood up from the ground, came to Luo Lan, and nodded heavily.
"My Lady, let Ah Cai dress you for the rest of your life. If Ah Cai is not by your side, no one else can do your hair or makeup properly."
Luo Lan smiled helplessly, then turned the wheelchair, looked at A Cai in the bronze mirror, and smiled knowingly.
Ever since Ahong and Acai came to her, Acai has always been the one doing her makeup. She really doesn't know what she would do if Acai was not by her side?
So she nodded immediately.
"Okay, then I'll grant you this wish and let you dress me up all the time. But from today on, neither you nor Ah Hong are allowed to call yourselves slaves in front of me. You are my sisters, not slaves."
"My lady, this is against the rules."
"Rules are made by people. Ever since the day the Emperor gave you official titles, I've told you not to call yourselves slaves. You all hold official positions now. People like Ah Hong can change occasionally, but you keep calling yourself a slave. If you use that term again, I'll kick you out."
Seeing that Luo Lan was trying to scare her with this, Ah Cai immediately changed her words.
"Okay, slave... No, I... remember..."
Luo Lan looked at A Cai in the bronze mirror and smiled.
These two girls have followed her for many years and have never had any second thoughts about her. They are really like her own sisters.
When she mentioned her sisters, she thought of Luo Xue. She hadn't been to the palace for three days and didn't know how Duoduo was doing.
Thinking of this, she looked at Acai,
"Let's go back to Prince Yu's Mansion and see if Duoduo is feeling better."
"Yes, I'll be there in a moment."
"Forgot again?"
Ah Cai quickly stuck out her tongue and changed her words.
"Yes, I'll be there in a moment."
Luo Lan then pursed her lips and smiled.
As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid came in to report.
"My Lady, Miss Liu Er is here."
Luo Lan immediately looked at A Cai happily.
"I can't help but think about it. As soon as I finished speaking, she came. Ah Cai, hurry up, just do it casually."
"Don't worry, my lady, it will be fine soon."
After Acai inserted the last hairpin into her hair, Luo Xue walked in holding Duoduo's hand.
After Duoduo came in, he stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and mumbled incoherently:
"Hello, Auntie. I'm here to pay my respects to you."
Luo Lan smiled and waved at her.
"Duoduo, come on, let auntie hug you. Auntie misses you."
Duoduo is waving his hands vigorously.
"No, Mom told me before we came that Auntie is injured and she can't hold Duoduo. Duoduo is very active and what if he touches Auntie's wound? Duoduo should go play with his brothers and sisters."
As she spoke, she secretly stuck out her tongue at Luo Xue. Luo Lan looked at her lovingly and instructed A Cai:
"Acai, take Duoduo to play with Lele and the others."
Acai stepped forward and took Duoduo's hand. Duoduo waved goodbye to Luo Lan and Luo Xue, then ran out happily.
Luo Xue looked at Luo Lan who was sitting in the wheelchair and asked with concern:
"Sister, why did you get out of bed? Doesn't your wound hurt?"
Luo Lan shook his head and chuckled.
"It's okay. If I don't move around, I feel like I won't be able to walk anymore. It's just right that you're here. Push me outside to get some fresh air!"
"Okay, the weather outside is nice today, let's go to the Imperial Garden..."
At this time, Ah Hong came in carrying jujube porridge.
"My lady, you haven't had breakfast yet. Please eat first."
Luo Lan looked at Luo Xue,
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Luo Xue wanted to say that she had already eaten, but she knew that if she said that, her sister would definitely say something, and then she wouldn't eat anymore.
So she shook her head.
"No, I wasn't hungry this morning, but after seeing your jujube porridge, I did feel hungry."
"That's perfect. Come eat with me and then we'll go after we finish eating."
Luo Xue hurriedly pushed her wheelchair to the side of the table, pulled out a chair and sat next to her. She took the bowl of porridge handed to her by Ah Hong and placed it next to her.
"Sister, you have to eat more. Mother also told me to eat more. Oh, and she also asked me to bring you two old hens to the palace. She said you should take good care of yourself. She wanted to come to the palace to see you these days, but she caught a cold and was afraid of infecting you, so she asked me to tell you."
Luo Lan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"There's nothing in this palace, why did we ask you to bring a chicken all the way here?"
"I told her that, but she said the chicken she brought was good and nutritious. Maybe it was a little token of her appreciation, so I brought it to you and you can have it at noon."
"Mom caught a cold? Go back and get her some medicine. Tell her not to rush to see me. I'm fine now. I'll be able to leave the palace to see her in a month or so when my leg injury heals."
"Okay, I'm planning to go to the Duke's Mansion when I go back tonight, and I'll give it to her then."
After Luo Lan finished a bowl of porridge, he raised the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, then asked tentatively:
"Xue, where did Leng Ming go? Don't you really know?"
When Leng Ming was mentioned, Luo Xue paused while serving the porridge, then frowned and shook her head slightly.
"I don't know. He made me so disappointed. I don't want to know where he went. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
"Xue, you can't think like that. All of this was caused by the Chang family. Leng Ming didn't want this to happen."
"Haha! He can divorce me because of his mother, and his emotions can be manipulated by her. This is enough to show that he is still a child who has not grown up. When he encountered the problem this time, he just avoided it and didn't know how to find a solution. I am extremely disappointed in him. There is no point in me missing a man like him."
She had originally thought that after he knew about Chang's secret memorial to the Emperor, he would take the initiative to admit his mistake and ask the Emperor to withdraw his order, stating that he would not marry Princess Xingnan and that he only had her, Liu Luoxue, in his heart. However, he did not do that. Not only did he destroy the house, he also hid away without even saying a word to her. This behavior really disappointed her...
Seeing her ugly face, Luo Lan couldn't help but say:
"But...but you are husband and wife after all, you still have so much..."
"Duoduo is my child and has nothing to do with him. A man like him who has no responsibility is not worthy of being Duoduo's father, nor is he worthy of being a father or a husband..."
After saying this, Luo Xue swallowed the porridge in the bowl carelessly, then wiped the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore. Let's go to the Imperial Garden..."
"good……"
Luo Lan knew that Leng Ming would feel sad when she mentioned him, so she agreed to her wish and decided not to mention him. She let her push the wheelchair towards the Imperial Garden.
