Hearing this, Luo Lan hurriedly sat up straight. Before Huaiyu came back, there was no need for her to worry about Huaiyu's affairs.
Leng Yu also sat up. Luo Lan said to him while putting on his clothes:
"By the way, let's ask Xiao Ningzi, Xingnan, and Leng Yuluoxue to come to Prince Yu's Mansion for dinner tonight. This will show that we value our guests from Dongyang Country."
Leng Yu nodded in agreement without even thinking.
"good."
"After breakfast, I'll go talk to An An and Yi Cheng to see what they think. I'm sure the Emperor and Empress of Dongyang won't stay here for too long, so it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"Well, talk to them nicely. I'll leave this matter to you!"
After that, they both finished dressing. She raised her hand to help Leng Yu straighten his collar and said to him gently:
"You go ahead, I'll do my makeup."
Leng Yu raised her hand, pressed lightly on the tip of her nose, and then nodded.
"Hurry up and don't keep them waiting too long."
"Got it, someone come here..."
She called out to the people outside, and Ah Hong and Ah Cai came in. They bowed to Leng Yu and began to dress Luo Lan...
Yicheng didn't have breakfast, Anan didn't come either, Lingfeng and Aji went to the street to eat dumplings, so there were only four of them eating at the huge table.
Queen Zhou didn't want to eat at first, but for the sake of her face, she patiently drank the porridge in the bowl.
Ling Yunxiao was a little anxious, so he just ate two mouthfuls of porridge and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Luo Lan knew very well the feelings of the two people opposite her. After taking a few bites, she also put down her bowl and chopsticks.
Leng Yu calmly ate a few mouthfuls of food and drank a bowl of porridge. Seeing that the three people were looking at him from time to time, he put down his chopsticks and said to Ling Yunxiao:
"It's a rare opportunity for you two to come to Daning State. Would you like to go into the palace and take a look?"
Ling Yunxiao waved his hand and refused.
"No need. We are traveling incognito this time, so we don't want to alert others. I thought about staying here one more night last night. Tomorrow, whether Yicheng is willing to go back with us or not, we will set off to return to Dongyang."
This time, Queen Zhou did not speak out to stop her like she did yesterday. She just sighed deeply and did not respond.
Presumably, she also has to consider the overall situation. As the ruler of a country, she cannot just ignore national affairs and stay here forever.
Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan and then said:
"Lan'er and I have discussed this. I'll have her talk to An'an later. If possible, let An'an accompany Yicheng back to Dongyang Elementary School to stay for a while. When she gets homesick, Yicheng should have adapted to it, and we can let her come back then."
Ling Yunxiao looked at him with disbelief.
"Is this really okay? To be honest with you two, we can see right now that Kang'er values An'an very much. We originally had the same idea, but we thought it was too rash. I never thought we'd think the same way."
Empress Zhou seemed to have suddenly seen hope and looked at Luo Lan with longing eyes.
"If that's the case, that would be fantastic. Don't worry, if An An agrees to go back to Dongyang Country with us to stay temporarily, we will definitely treat her like our own daughter. We will never treat her unfairly and will never let her suffer the slightest injustice."
Looking at Queen Zhou's anxious look, Luo Lan didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
She hoped that An An would agree to accompany Yi Cheng back to Dongyang Kingdom, but she was also afraid that An An would agree.
She couldn't bear to leave Yicheng, and even more so An'an, but looking at the mother in front of her who was missing her son so much, she decided to go and persuade An'an immediately.
Thinking of this, she greeted Queen Zhou and went to find An An.
At this time, An An was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking about.
“An An…”
She tiptoed to the bedside, and An An quickly turned over and got up. She knew that her mother usually did not allow her to stay in bed or to be unkempt.
For some reason today, she just didn't want to get up. She wasn't thirsty or hungry, but she didn't want to move.
But the moment she saw Luo Lan, she came to her senses and hurriedly apologized.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'll get up and wash up now."
Luo Lan stepped forward and pressed her down.
"An An, mother has something to tell you."
An An looked at her nervously.
"Mom, you are so serious. An An is scared. What happened?"
Luo Lan raised his hand, pulled out the hair in front of An An's forehead, and then said softly:
"You are thirteen years old this year. You have always been a sensible and obedient child..."
At this point, she couldn't hide her sadness and hugged her in her arms.
"An An, after I entered the palace, I left you and Yi Cheng in Prince Yu's mansion. It was my fault. I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry."
Her strange words made An An even more nervous.
She didn't know what had happened, but she knew that there must be a reason why her mother said that.
She carefully sat up from Luo Lan's arms and asked timidly in a low voice:
"Mom, why are you talking like that? Did An An do something wrong?"
Luo Lan forced a smile and shook his head vigorously.
"An An, you did nothing wrong. I came here today to discuss something with you, but it's just you. You have the final say."
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me. An An will listen to you in everything."
"An An, I don't want you to listen to me. I just want to tell you what I think. You can refute me."
An An stared with puzzled eyes and nodded, "Okay."
Luo Lan then tightened his lips and said with a sense of loss:
"It's like this. Yicheng's biological parents are eager for him to return to Dongyang Country, but Yicheng doesn't want to go back. Mother thinks he's probably afraid of returning to a strange place where no one knows him. He's a little scared. If there was someone who could go back with him and help her through the initial difficult time, perhaps he wouldn't be so resistant."
She spoke carefully, but An An had already understood the meaning.
Although she also had this idea, she still felt a little sad when she heard it from her mother's mouth.
She bit her lips tightly and looked at Luo Lan.
"Mother, you want me to accompany Yicheng back to Dongyang Kingdom, right?"
Seeing that An An's tone was a little cold, Luo Lan put his hands on her shoulders and kept explaining.
"An An, this is just my mother's idea. You can refute it or disagree with it."
"I agree."
An An nodded directly, "Mom, I agree."
Her decisiveness surprised Luo Lan.
She stared at her blankly, "An'an, I don't want you to leave me. I just don't want to see Yicheng's parents disappointed in him. I'm also thinking about your and Yicheng's future. I know you have a good relationship and are as close as siblings now. I think that when you grow up, if you are destined to be together, you can break this relationship. Do you understand what I mean?"
An An bit her lips tightly and nodded gently.
"Mother, you don't need to explain any more. I agree to accompany Yicheng back to Dongyang Kingdom."
“An An…”
Luo Lan always felt that An An was angry with her, and An An's calmness made her feel distressed.
