Chapter 506: Feelings that shouldn't be had
Leng Xi saw that Concubine Li was dissatisfied and wanted to plead with the emperor, so he hurriedly turned around and shook his head at her, signaling her to stop talking.
The emperor turned back to Liu Xi without scruples and said:
"Go back to the palace, let the imperial doctor give Concubine Li Guifei some medicine to nourish her body, her body is already weak, and after this toss, she will definitely not be able to recover for a while and a half."
"The old slave understands."
After Liu Xi bowed and saluted, he shouted to the people around him:
"The emperor drove back to the palace."
When the people heard this, they fell to their knees and shouted,
"Congratulations to the emperor......"
The emperor's brows have been furrowed, originally he was proud of his old age, but he didn't want to be ruined by Concubine Li, if it wasn't for that little pill, he would have to clean her up.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slightly and took a nap.
Luo Lan, who was sitting in another carriage, kept frowning, thinking back to what Li Niangniang had said to her by the river, as well as her tenacious eyes when she pointed at Concubine Li after falling into the water, and her pale face when she was in the carriage just now, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, this Li Niangniang actually had such a changeable personality, her mind was so meticulous, and she did things recklessly.
A person like her, if she takes the right path, will be a very powerful woman.
But if the road is crooked, it is far more terrible than Concubine Li.
Thinking of this, Luo Lan sighed with palpitations.
Today's incident, she felt that she needed to digest it for a while, first Xiaobao framed An An, and then Li Niangniang framed Concubine Li, these two things made her realize that in the future, she must be more careful in her life and work.
The emperor did not return to Yuwang's mansion, but took Li Niangniang back to the palace directly, the emperor left, and Luo Lan's heart was finally able to settle down.
Leng Yu did not accompany Luo Lan back to the palace because he wanted to escort the emperor back to the palace, he arranged for Ah Yu and Ah Hou to send the three children back to the palace, and then took Xiao Lingzi and others and went straight to the palace.
Leng Ming volunteered to accompany his fourth sister-in-law.
In this regard, Luo Lan looked at him quite puzzled, "Ming'er, you are also tired, go back to the house and rest, just have Ah Cai and Ah Hong with me." ”
"How can that work, I have already told the fourth brother that if I want to protect you, naturally I can't be a deserter halfway, besides, I'm not tired, not tired at all."
"Since you're not tired, let's go to the pastry shop and buy some pastries, Xena and my mother have been holding back for two days, buy some delicious food, treat them."
At the mention of Xena, Leng Ming suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes rolled lightly and nodded,
"Well, she loves mung bean cake and osmanthus cake......"
"How do you know?"
Luo Lan turned his head and looked at him with strange eyes, "I don't even know what she likes to eat, how do you know?" ”
"I ......"
Leng Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, blinked his eyes a few times, and disguised:
"I heard her last time, otherwise how would I know."
Seeing his panicked look, Luo Lan suddenly had a different feeling.
After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively:
"I listened to my father's wishes, I want to find you a family business, you are not too young, it is time to start a family."
Mentioning this, Leng Ming shook his head directly without thinking about it,
"I just turned twenty-two years old, what is the hurry, my father just said, there is no official girl in the court who is my age, I like."
"And what do you like?"
"The fourth sister-in-law is like this."
Leng Ming's blurted out words that surprised him, and when he realized that he had made a mistake, he hurriedly retorted:
"I mean, I also want to find a sensible and virtuous woman like you, the fourth sister-in-law, who can not only share my fourth brother's worries, but also keep the house in order."
Leng Ming's flustered eyes seemed to make Luo Lan capture something, and after she tightened her brows, she immediately denied this idea in her heart.
No, Xena is five years older than Leng Ming, and she is a native of Chu, If they want to be together, it will definitely be difficult, and it will even cause an uproar, and if you don't get it right, it will endanger Xena's life.
She couldn't allow that to happen, Xena was her sister, and she did everything she could to protect her.
Thinking of this, she sighed and said slowly:
"When I first met your fourth brother, I had no feelings at all, we were a little bit of accumulated feelings in our future lives, so you choose the princess, don't just look at the surface of other girls, you have to get along with her for a while, otherwise, during this time, I will pay more attention to the daughters of the ministers in the court, see which one is as compatible as you, if there is a suitable one, let my father give you a marriage."
"Don't bother the fourth sister-in-law."
Leng Ming seemed to be a little unhappy, and his voice became cold.
Looking at Leng Ming's performance when he mentioned his marriage, Luo Lan felt more and more that he must have fallen in love with Xena, and thinking of this, she secretly gasped.
How can she control this?
Leng Ming did not return to Yuwangfu with Luo Lan, but left ahead of schedule under the pretext that something was wrong.
After Luo Lan returned to King Yu's Mansion, he carried the pastries he bought and went straight to the room where Xena was.
At this time, she was lying on the table bored, watching Xiaoling do the embroidery work in her hands.
"Nana, when your sister got married, my mother couldn't catch up, and I didn't give her anything, and when you got married, my mother gave you this mandarin duck pillow."
Get married?
For some reason, when she heard these two words, Xina was the first to think of Leng Ming, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously flashed a shy smile.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Ling didn't notice her strange expression, but continued to murmur:
"You said that you are not too young, and now this identity cannot be revealed to the world, and I don't know when I can find a suitable family, my mother is really worried, when your father announces your identity and mine to the public, what should you do if you are past the age of marriage and can't get married?"
"If you can't get married, you won't get married, I've been with you and my father, isn't it better."
"That's not good, if you can't get married, then it's your father and my people who are lost, alas, people are like you, children can make soy sauce, you don't have a score now, what can I do?"
Xiao Ling's nagging happened to be heard by Luo Lan, who had just walked in, she put the pastry in her hand on the table, sat opposite the two of them, and asked with shining eyes:
"What? Mother is afraid that Xina will not be able to get married? ”
Seeing the pastries on the table, Xena suddenly came to her senses, she hurriedly opened the pastry bag, and when she saw that it was her favorite taste, she immediately looked at Luo Lan with a smile on her face, and said affectionately:
"Sister, you still know me and know that I like to eat these two flavors."
Luo Lan shrugged, chuckled and raised his eyebrows:
"Leng Ming said, you like to eat these two flavors, I still wonder, I don't know anything, how did he know?"
At the mention of Leng Ming, Xena's face flushed, Luo Lan looked at her, and pretended to be unintentional and said:
"Leng Ming is a careful man, the emperor is going to choose a princess for him, and I don't know which woman is so blessed that he will choose her."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
For some reason, Xena suddenly felt a foreign object choking into her trachea, and coughed vigorously in an unguarded manner.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly whispered and blamed:
"Such a big person, and you are so careless when you eat?"
Luo Lan got up, patted her on the back a few times, and asked with concern:
"Is there a better point? Would you like to drink some water? ”
At this time, Xena had already coughed up tears, she waved her hand vigorously, and when she stopped coughing, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head,
"No, it's just ...... The pastry crumbs choked and it was fine. ”
