Half a month later …
"Oh, why must you suddenly enter the palace?" Seeing that Ming Liehan was already waiting outside, she could only take the chance to eat an antidote when Xi Er was not paying attention, before taking her heavy clothes and walking out.
He thought that it would be an awkward family gathering after entering the palace, but he didn't expect that the emperor would actually gather all of the officials here. He purposely let everyone know that their Ming Rui's Huang Dynasty's Princess Gabriella gave birth to a white fat eldest son …
"Heavens …." Looking at the scene in front of him, he could tell that it was another banquet. Luoluo suddenly leaned into Ming Liehan's embrace helplessly and said, "My royal brother sure knows how to find an excuse to treat people to food, isn't he?"
However, Ming Liehan lowered her head and smiled dotingly, as she lightly patted Luoluo's shoulder. "Alright, the Emperor only values you a little, perhaps also does it to make up to us." Saying that, Ming Liehan kissed the Luoluo's ear. Let's go in.
"Oh." Luoluo puffed her mouth up helplessly as she looked at the person in front of him. She lightly patted the steamed bun in her bosom and said, "My son, you have to fight for mother's honor. Don't suddenly cry later!"
Originally, he thought it was just congratulation, but when Luoluo sat at the table, she used her lactation period as an excuse to not drink at all.
Ever since he completely understood the relationship between the emperor and Lan Qing with Ming Liehan, the Luoluo didn't have too much of a good impression towards the emperor and Lan Qing, even … Even though she would sometimes understand the feelings of the Luoluo s because of them, but when she thought about it again, she knew that she shouldn't have understood the people who had hurt her and Ming Liehan that easily.
Right now, she was a wife and mother. She had even more of a reason to surround the person she loved with a world that she wanted to protect. Even if Ming Liehan was always protecting her, she would be fully prepared when she became more sensitive.
The Luoluo teased Steamed Bun out of boredom as they continued to talk politely.
Until …
Until Lan Qing suddenly appeared.
It turned out that in the period of her absence, Lan Qing had already been officially titled as Lan Fei, and since everyone already knew about it, she no longer had to live in the Forbidden Palace, and openly enjoy the love of an emperor.
However, what made Luoluo quite shocked was Lan Qing's stomach. She was actually pregnant, and it seemed like she would be born soon.
"Come, Lan Qing." The emperor moved an empty seat for Lan Qing and pulled her to sit beside him.
Luoluo's mouth gaped open as she suddenly turned her head to look at Ming Liehan, whose expression did not fluctuate at all. Even if he said that he had never truly loved her, she was still a woman who had once tricked him. When he found out that she had officially become the emperor's concubine and that she was pregnant, she must have felt depressed in her heart.
Ming Liehan coldly glanced at Lan Qing, who was next to the emperor, and smiled blissfully. Even though her smile was extremely dazzling, he merely smiled coldly. Perhaps, in her heart, a woman like Lan Qing might not even be worthy of the Emperor …
Suddenly, his clothes were tugged, Ming Liehan turned and looked at Luoluo.
"The cold …."
Seeing the consoling look in Luoluo's eyes, Ming Liehan suddenly laughed lightly, put his arm around her shoulder and without hiding anything, she kissed Luoluo's forehead lightly in front of everyone, then whispered into her ear: "I already said, I do not care about her as much as you think, so, do not comfort me!"
"Really?" Luoluo relaxed and looked at him smilingly.
Ming Liehan pursed her lips, nodding and smiling lightly.
"That's good." Luoluo laughed and quickly placed a mouthful of food into a bowl. "My dear, you haven't eaten anything in a day, here, eat more, hehe!"
Ming Liehan smiled at Luoluo, raised her hand and patted her head lightly.
Suddenly, Luoluo felt a familiar gaze sweeping over him. She was shocked as she turned her head to look at Ming Xianchen, who was staring at them coldly.
She actually forgot about him …
Seeing the Luoluo looking at him, Ming Xianchen suddenly sneered as he raised the cup towards her, and then drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Luoluo didn't understand why she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart every time she saw Ming Xianchen, as if it was very dark and gloomy.
It was because Ming Xianchen's personality was too dark, with his sickly face, he seemed to be doing strange things from time to time. In the twenty-first century, she would have thought he was crazy and taken him to the hospital. But Ming Xianchen was still normal, he seemed to be confident in everything, it was just that he was too gloomy. It was as if he was forever standing by the side, sizing up everyone, planning something, thinking about something …
"Gabriella." Suddenly, Luoluo came back to her senses after hearing Lan Qing's voice. She turned her head, only to see Lan Qing walking over to her with a smile on her face.
"Lan, Lan Qing …." Luoluo had no choice but to stand up. Her arms were slightly stiff from hugging the child, and as Ming Liehan could tell, she helped her up.
Seeing that Ming Liehan was currently treating Luoluo well, Lan Qing suddenly laughed softly and raised her wine glass: "Bi Luo, let's not talk about the past anymore, but if you feel uncomfortable about it, then this big sister will use tea in place of wine to accompany you, no …. Also, the cold … "Lan Qing is here to pay you a visit as well …"
"No need." Ming Liehan looked at her coldly, then turned and hugged the bun in Luoluo's arms. She did not want Luoluo's hands to become stiff, so that she would not have to harass him to help her massage the bun after returning to the Duke's Mansion.
"Heh …" Lan Qing laughed awkwardly, her gentle and charming eyes sweeping over the smiling Luoluo. "Gabriella …"
"My sister is carrying a baby now, so she can't drink alcohol, and it's better to drink as little tea as possible." "There's nothing wrong with me, sister. You don't have to do this." As he said that, Luoluo rejected the cup that Lan Qing had brought over. Her face was full of smiles as she asked, "Are Big Sister Lan Qing and Royal Brother happy?"
Lan Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "Very happy."
"As long as you are happy." Luoluo laughed, then suddenly sat down and lowered his head, not saying a word.
After experiencing so much, she was no longer as forgiving as she was when she first arrived in ancient times. She had already blended into this era's world, so she would naturally dissolve her mind into the recent times, including some matters that she could no longer understand.
If not for her arrival, Princess Gabriella's suicide in the past would have been a tragedy … Had the emperor and Lan Qing even thought about it? Or, if Xuanyuan Ye Hen knew that Princess Gabriella had committed suicide long ago, would he have come to the palace like Sun Wukong, wanting to kill the Emperor …
Lan Qing and the emperor only knew how to enjoy such selfish happiness, but they never thought of anyone else.
Also, Ming Liehan had said before, Lan Qing was not an easy woman to satisfy. She was too outstanding, and she had made herself too outstanding.
Seeing that the Luoluo did not intend to continue chatting with her, Lan Qing's face stiffened, then helplessly smiled at the Luoluo and Ming Liehan, then turned and returned to the side of the Emperor.
Luoluo took the bun and looked at his cute sleeping face for a long time … Right now, she would rather not say a single word and maintain her bored attitude, rather than pay attention to those people who were lying.
"Cold, I'm tired." Suddenly, Luoluo whispered into Ming Liehan's ear.
Ming Liehan turned her head to look at Luoluo. She knew that she was probably unhappy due to the dazzling selfish smile that Lan Qing had on her face. She patted her and said, "Let's go back!"
"But my royal brother specifically called us over. If we both go back …"
"It's nothing." Ming Liehan laughed and helped Luoluo stand up.
Ming Liehan called the guards by her side to inform the emperor and immediately left with Luoluo.
Sitting on the carriage heading back to the Duke Palaces, Luoluo closed her eyes and looked for peace.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, Luoluo stiffened up, and turned to look Ming Liehan in the eye. When she opened the carriage, he saw that there was no one outside.
Xiao Fangzi ran over and frowned as he looked at Ming Liehan: "Your Highness, it seems like someone is monitoring us!"
Ming Liehan raised her eyebrows, and looked around: "Did you see any suspicious people?"
"No, only the carriage of the Prince of Dust passed us, but they left before us!" Xiao Fangzi respectfully lowered his head.
"Dust?" Luoluo and Ming Liehan asked at the same time, "Did he leave early?"
"Yes." Xiao Fangzi nodded.
Ming Liehan frowned and suddenly said: "Let's not worry about this for now and return to the Duke's Mansion." Saying that, she turned around and helped Luoluo back into the car.
"The cold …." Luoluo looked at his furrowed brows. "Recently, there have been some strange things that seem to be aimed at you?"
Ming Liehan nodded his head, but did not think much of it as she smiled faintly, and held Luoluo's hand: "It's fine."
"In the future, we should pay more attention to this matter. I'd rather you never be a prince, at least you don't have to have any strange enemies."
"I don't know who's staring at me right now, so there's no need to think too much about it, good boy." Ming Liehan comforted her and laughed, then patted her face and said, "If you think too much, you will become an old granny!"
Luoluo's expression suddenly froze, and then she laughed out loud. "Alright, then if I become an old woman, I'll use a knife to disfigure your face and make you accompany me in disgrace!"
Ming Liehan laughed out and raised her hand to pinch Luoluo's nose.
After returning to the Duke Palace, Luoluo had originally thought that Ming Liehan would go find Xiao Fangzi to research on recent events. After all, they were all directed at him, but Ming Liehan actually had to accompany her back first before she was willing to leave.
The moment she entered the Biluo Palace, the Luoluo panicked and was shocked to see that she had taken one of the antidotes before she left. She had taken one in a rush and then forgot to put away the antidote.
"What is this?" Ming Liehan looked at the small bottle.
"Ah, nothing!" Luoluo hurriedly walked forward and stuffed the bottle into her pocket.
Ming Liehan instantly furrowed her brows, looked at Luoluo, and slowly walked forward.
