The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Yu'er's mother died early, and you know this. Logically, Yu'er should call whoever is the master of the harem mother. But Yu'er, you have always been at the knee of Concubine Chang, and now it is Concubine Li who is managing the harem, so, you two should go and pay your respects to them separately!"
The emperor's words were not an exaggeration. No matter what, as the younger generation, they should greet them. Luo Lan had no objection to this. Leng Yu bowed and clasped his fists, saying:
"I obey your order and will go immediately. However, I have a favor to ask of you, and I hope your Majesty will grant it."
"Say something."
"I want to take Lan'er out for a walk. She has always lived in the countryside and doesn't know much about the beautiful mountains and rivers of our Daning Kingdom. I want to take this opportunity to take her to various places."
The emperor pondered for a while, then nodded.
"That's fine too. I can get a feel for the people's sentiments at the same time. OK."
Hearing this, Leng Yu clasped his fists with joy and said:
"Thank you, Father, for your help."
The emperor nodded, and said solemnly:
"You two should stay away for a few more days. When you come back, Yu'er must devote himself to state affairs, and Princess Yu must conceive a royal child as soon as possible."
No matter what, as long as the emperor agrees, they can go out smoothly without arousing suspicion. Luo Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and bowed without hesitation:
"I will follow my father's instructions and do my utmost to expand the royal family."
Hearing her words, the emperor waved his hands at the two of them with great satisfaction, "Go, I still have many memorials to read."
Leng Yu and Luo Lan hurriedly bowed and quickly left the Yangxin Palace.
They arrived outside the Dening Palace. Nanny Yu came forward to greet them, then picked up a jade ruyi and raised it in her hand, saying softly:
"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, the Queen has been unwell recently and is not in a good mood to meet guests. She has asked this old servant to prepare a small gift. Please accept it."
not see?
This made people feel a lot more at ease. Luo Lan and Leng Yu didn't want to see her anyway. If it weren't for courtesy, they wouldn't bother to come to the gate of Dening Palace.
Leng Yu wanted to refuse the jade ruyi in Yu Ma's hand, but Luo Lan took it back first and said,
"Thank Concubine Chang for me. Since the queen is not feeling well, we will not bother her any more. We will come to see her again when we have the chance."
After she finished speaking, she handed the jade ruyi to Ah Hong, took Leng Yu's hand, and walked towards Liyuan proudly.
Leng Yu couldn't help but whispered:
"Why do you want her things?"
Luo Lan replied indifferently:
"Why not take it for free? She doesn't come out to see us because she's stingy. If we don't even accept the gift, it would seem we are stingy. This is good. We don't have to meet the person, but we still receive the gift."
Seeing her smug look, Leng Yu couldn't help but raise his hand and press the tip of her nose, scolding her:
"You clever little thing, you're greedy for money. You can't even fit in all the nice things in your house, and you still want this broken thing?"
"Why not? This thing may not be expensive, but it's still worth some money. When these two girls get married, I'll give it to them as a dowry. Wouldn't that be very respectable?"
After saying this, she looked back at Ah Cai and Ah Hong, raised her eyebrows proudly and said:
"Are you right?"
Acai and Ahong lowered their heads and dared not speak.
When they arrived at Liyuan, they were treated the same way as at Dening Palace.
Luo Lan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said to Leng Yu:
"Husband, didn't you check the almanac before you left home this morning? How come both of these ladies are sick now that we're here?"
Madam Lu bowed and replied:
"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty, Princess. The Queen has been ill for several days and looks unwell. I was afraid that seeing you newlyweds would ruin her joy. This is the return gift the Queen has prepared for you. Please accept it."
Luo Lan took the gift box without hesitation and saw a jade bracelet inside. It looked quite good. She handed it to A Cai behind her and said,
"Since Her Majesty is unwell, we will not disturb you. Please give Her Majesty our regards. Please come and pay your respects to her again when you have the chance."
After she finished speaking, she took Leng Yu's hand again and turned to leave.
But before they could take a few steps, someone called them.
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, you are here."
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Leng Ming standing in front of them with a serious expression.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan hurried over, "Ming'er, are you feeling better now?"
Leng Ming pursed his lips and shook his head with a wry smile, "I heard that you just went to Dening Palace. My mother didn't see you. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't blame her."
Luo Lan patted his shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said softly:
"How can we blame her? It's just a formality."
Leng Yu nodded gently and said again:
"Sister-in-law, I know you got married yesterday. I really wanted to attend your wedding, but... but I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry."
Seeing that he looked somewhat lonely, Luo Lan hurriedly comforted him softly:
"Ming'er is already unwell, and it's inconvenient for him to leave the palace often. Your fourth brother and I won't blame you. When you get married in the future, your fourth brother and I will definitely attend your wedding."
Leng Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, then nodded directly:
"When I turn eighteen and can establish my own palace, I will immediately invite my fourth brother and the imperial sister-in-law to celebrate. But it's too far away now. Right now, I haven't made any progress in asking my fourth sister-in-law to be my teacher. But I'll put this aside for now. Please remember this."
Hearing this, Luo Lan couldn't help but want to laugh, and Leng Yu shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Leng Ming's unusually determined look, Luo Lan could only nod in response:
"Okay, Fourth Sister-in-law promises you that whenever Ming'er is willing, Fourth Sister-in-law will accept you as her apprentice. I will teach you whatever you want to learn. Is that all right?"
Hearing this, Leng Ming's face suddenly showed a cheerful smile, and he nodded continuously, "Then it's settled. However, during this period when it's inconvenient for me to leave the palace, can you come to the palace to see me when you have time? And teach me some knowledge of chess?"
Before Luo Lan could speak, Leng Yu directly refused:
"Your sister-in-law and I are going out for a while. We will come to see you when we come back."
"Where are you going?"
Seeing that he asked so anxiously, Leng Yu replied directly:
"I'm taking your sister-in-law out for a walk. My father has allowed me not to attend the morning court for a month."
Leng Ming lowered his head somewhat dejectedly, then nodded, "Okay, I really want to go with you guys, what a pity."
Leng Yu patted his shoulder again and comforted him softly:
"Ming'er, don't worry. You will grow up sooner or later, and then you can go wherever you want."
After saying this, she took Luo Lan's hand and said to Leng Ming:
"You should go back soon, your mother will be worried. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
