As soon as he returned to the high court, he was called to an elegant rose garden, Lan Li originally thought that there might be something urgent, but when he saw his adoptive mother, he found that the old god was sitting in the garden pavilion with a satin fan leisurely fanning the wind, and the brown-haired Margaery was still snuggled next to him, and he didn't see how anxious he looked at all.

Lan Li stepped forward, and the old man in the dark green robe looked at him, and the little girl beside her took the lead in saying hello.

"Lan Li! I heard you were almost drugged? ”

The black-haired young man couldn't help but glare at the mischievous little girl when he heard this, and the old man also gently slapped her on the back of the head with a fan.

"Be polite, Margaery, and don't make people laugh like a jerk."

The little girl stuck out her tongue, and the old man then looked at Lan Li, and after he stepped forward to say hello, motioned for him to sit across from him.

"When you first came to the High Court, you were still a short and thin boy, like a girl, I heard that you are weak and sickly, and I was afraid that you would die here and cause trouble, how could I have thought that you would look like this."

After sitting down, Lan Li heard the old lady say this, a pun, obviously talking about the things that happened in Hewan before, he smiled at this, looking a little shy, and the little girl next to the old man had a curious expression.

"Like a little girl?"

"Adults talk, you don't interject." The old man patted his granddaughter with a fan again: "What a lady, I think you are a chirping little hen." ”

"Grandmother!"

The girl pursed her lips to express her displeasure, but received no response, so she grimaced and stopped in a huff.

"What do you think of the High Court, Lan Li?"

The old man then turned his attention again to the black-haired young man opposite.

The years had made the old man, known as the Queen of Thorns, look even thinner, his hair had long since turned silver-white, his fingers holding the fan were thin and withered, and his teeth had long since fallen out, but he sat there with a lot of energy, and his speech did not show the slightest weakness.

In a sense, this old man is the helmsman of the High Court.

"The most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms." Lan Li replied when he heard this.

"And what about the people in the High Court?"

"People?"

Lan Li thought for a moment and said, "Villas is gentle and polite, a very reliable friend, Madame Ellery is strict and responsible, and I am grateful for the teaching she has taught me since childhood. I was scared of you when I first came, because they all said you were not easy to deal with, but now I think it's obviously not wise to listen to some rumors from outside. ”

His last sentence wasn't entirely a compliment.

In fact, although it was the previous relationship between the adopted son and the adoptive mother, Lan Li hadn't spoken much to this person over the years, and he could feel that the old lady didn't attach much importance to his existence, and naturally she wouldn't be bored with herself.

Now, on the contrary, he suddenly called him over and made a gesture of sympathy, obviously affected by the previous incident.

"What about me, Lan Li?" The little girl, who had just been shut up for a short time, blinked at this time, ignoring her grandmother's squinting gaze.

Lan Li looked at her and replied with a smile: "You were ugly when you were a child, but now you are much more pleasing to the eye, but you are too cunning." ”

"Don't lie, I'm so beautiful, how could I be ugly when I was a child?" The little girl completely ignored the latter sentence and puffed out her face to express her dissatisfaction.

Lan Li ignored her, but started talking to the cheap adoptive mother in front of her again.

They talked about the people of the High Court, about the Duke of Metz who was far away in King's Landing, about Lan Li's life in the High Court in the past, and about some trivial household words...... The old man, known as the Queen of Thorns, had never been a patient person, but at this time she seemed to be full of desire to talk.

"What are your plans when you return to Dragonstone?" She asked suddenly.

"Familiarize yourself with what the lord needs to do for a while." Lan Li replied, "Then maybe I will go to King's Landing, my brother has written from me to ask me to go to King's Landing, but I don't know the details yet. ”

This is the truth, Robert did write to him to ask Lan Li to go to King's Landing to help him, Lan Li did not have the idea of refusing, in his heart he was not willing to mix in any secular affairs, but the situation is no longer than before, the Targaryen obviously has a comeback trend, and it is completely different from the situation in his memory, and it is very inappropriate to stay out of the matter at this time.

"The people of House Targaryen are either crazy or monsters, and they will not end well if they follow." Probably guessing what he was thinking, the old man said with disdain.

This has never been very kind to see the Targaryens, probably because of a Targaryen fiancé when he was a child. It is said that her former fiancé was gay and died in battle with his lover.

"There's not much to stay on Dragonstone, there used to be dragons to look at, but now it's just a pile of rotten rocks. Tell me that you might as well go straight to King's Landing. The old lady said, seeing that Lan Li smiled and did not answer, so the conversation changed.

"Maester Lomis told me that you are familiar with history books?"

"I've seen some of it." Lan Li replied.

"What do you think of Viserys II?"

Viserys II?

Lan Li's expression was stunned when he heard this.

Viserys II was the successor of the Targaryen kings after Baylor, or St. Baylor as the people called him, and he was also the father of the mediocre king Aegon who was once used by the Rites to "remind" Robert.

What is this person doing when he has nothing to mention?

Lan Li had this doubt in her heart, but then she reacted, and after a moment of silence, she replied: "Viserys II has served three generations of Targaryen kings, and has been the hand of the king for more than ten years, and he can stabilize the situation in the rear when the young dragon king Daeron is busy conquering Dorne, and he can also rule the whole country in place of the king when St. Belle ignores the prayers of the state minister...... Overall, Viserys II was a fine king, one of the best Targaryen kings in terms of statecraft - he died too soon. ”

His words sounded nothing, but then there was a sudden coldness in the gazebo. After taking a deep look at Lan Li, the old man didn't ask about history or anything like that, but after chatting for a while, he waved his hand and motioned for Lan Li to go on his own.

Lan Li didn't hesitate to get up and salute and leave.

Viserys II was one of the most powerful of the Targaryen kings, but his coronation was controversial, and it was rumored that he was sitting on the Iron Throne after killing his nephew, and the old lady did not mention this person in particular, and took the little girl Margaery with her, implying that it was self-evident.

It's just that Lan Li doesn't have the slightest interest in this.

Viserys II was shrewd and capable, but he died after only a year on the Iron Throne, and it is rumored that he was poisoned by his heir, his eldest son, King Aegon.

The killer will eventually receive the same retribution, Lan Li has already given an answer.
