Ye Lansheng saw that Nan Nan had been silent for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't help but tease him, "What, looking at you like this, are you planning to propose marriage?"
"I'll go when I'm done with the things at hand." Nannan stood up and saw that it was getting late, so it was time to go back.
Ye Lansheng rested his chin on his hand again, watching his tall and straight figure gradually move towards the door.
Nannan has become more and more indifferent since he took charge of Yufengtang. Maybe it would be better to have a woman by his side.
Thinking of this, Ye Lansheng couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly raised his figure and asked, "Do you need me to issue a decree for marriage?" With the emperor's decree, the status of the eldest girl of the Lan family has also changed.
He had heard that Miss Lan's situation in the Lan family was... a bit embarrassing.
I don’t know if Nannan knows this situation.
Nan Nan didn't look back, raised his hand and waved, "I will talk to you when I need it."
After that, the person had already walked out of the main hall door.
Ye Lansheng shook his head and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the personal eunuch Fang Zheng walking in. He murmured, "Really, he's not polite at all."
Fang Zheng bowed and waited behind him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's because the emperor and Prince Nan have a good relationship. The emperor is like an elder brother in front of Prince Nan. Prince Nan will naturally not be polite to his brother if something happens. "
Ye Lansheng turned to look at him, "You are the only one who can speak."
Fangzheng was trained by Miao Qianqiu himself, and some of his speaking skills and look at people are very similar to Miao Qianqiu.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Fang Zheng thanked him immediately.
Ye Lansheng shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "Mother, please pay attention. If the eldest girl from Lan Shilang's family is summoned to the palace, you should report to me immediately."
Now that Nannan went to the palace in person to tell her about this, she had to keep an eye on it for him.
"Yes." Fang Zheng responded with a low eyebrow.
However, for several days, no movement was heard from Xu Rou.
Ye Lansheng has been busy with state affairs recently, and since the last time Ye Xiu raised the topic of his draft in the morning alone, these days, the ministers have started to raise this topic with all their strength.
Ye Lansheng didn't even have a chance to breathe. Since he warned Fang Zheng, he stopped paying attention to this matter.
Everything was calm inside the palace, but outside the palace, something exploded in the circle of upper-class ladies in the past few days.
Princess Xiu actually wanted to hold a lotus appreciation banquet, and even sent invitations to all the officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial capital, inviting women of suitable age to participate.
This is a big event. Not to mention that Prince Xiu's Mansion has long been a mysterious mansion that many people are salivating to find out. Princess Xiu has not held any events for so many years except for celebrating the birthdays of a few children and inviting some relatives and friends. No party of any kind.
Now, the previous rules were changed and a lotus appreciation banquet was suddenly held. This incident shocked the entire circle of upper-class ladies.
Some people speculate that the real Prince Nan of the Prince Xiu Palace has reached the marriageable age, maybe to choose the Crown Prince's wife for him.
More well-informed people have heard that Prince Xiu recently proposed to choose a concubine for Ye Lansheng in the court. This banquet is also very likely to be a prelude to Princess Xiu's selection for the emperor.
After all, as we all know, Princess Xiu and the Queen Mother have a very good relationship, and it is very possible for her to interfere in the emperor's lifelong affairs.
There was a lot of excitement in the imperial capital, and naturally, the invitation was also sent to Lan Shilang's home.
Yan Zhi was filled with excitement from the moment she got the news and couldn't wait to run into Lan Shuiqing's house.
Lan Shuiqing was practicing calligraphy, sitting upright on the stool, moving her wrist slightly, and writing every stroke of her hand very elegantly.
After Yanzhi entered the house, she didn't stop or even raise her head. She just asked, "What's going on? I'm out of breath from running. Let's drink some water first."
"Oh." Yanzhi immediately poured herself a glass of water, drank it all, and then said to her with bright eyes, "Miss, I just heard some news."
"Well, speak slowly." Lan Shuiqing finished writing another word, dipped in ink, and looked calmly.
Yanzhi lowered her voice and said happily, "Miss, Prince Xiu's Mansion is going to hold a lotus appreciation banquet, and he has sent invitations to our house, including you."
"Huh?" Lan Shui paused for a moment after pouring her head. She naturally knew about Prince Xiu's palace, and also knew that there had never been a banquet in these years. It was really unexpected to have such a banquet suddenly.
"Miss, I just secretly heard the second young lady saying to the maid next to her that the lotus appreciation banquet in Prince Xiu's Mansion was probably held to help the emperor choose a queen. Miss, this is great."
Lan Shuiqing smiled. After listening to what she said, his writing movements were much more agile than before, "So what?"
"What's the matter?" Rouge was a little annoyed, "Miss, why didn't you respond at all? You are choosing a queen. As long as the lady is chosen, life will not be so difficult in the future. The lady is so good-looking, and she said Maybe the emperor will take a liking to you at first sight?"
Lan Shuiqing finally raised his head and looked at Rouge's eager look, and couldn't help but laugh, "You are overthinking. First, although I have received the invitation, it is not certain whether my father and grandmother will let me go. Second, even if The emperor is really looking for a candidate for the queen, and it cannot be decided by just looking at the appearance. Thirdly, you, you have just met a few people and you dare to say, Miss, I am good-looking and will be favored by others? Is there someone outside this person? There is a heaven outside, and the children of aristocratic families are blooming with a hundred flowers, and there are so many beautiful ones."
After hearing this, Yanzhi's face fell a little. Seeing that the young lady lowered her head to write again, she felt a little unwilling to accept it and muttered, "But no matter what, young lady, you are prettier than the second lady and the third lady. Although Rouge has not met many people, looking at our Lan family, there is no one who is more beautiful than the young lady."
Lan Shuiqing was amused by her, but her tone was indifferent, "How many people are there in Lan Mansion, and you dare to talk nonsense like that? Besides, if you enter the palace and become a queen, you may not necessarily live a good life. That palace The water inside is deep. Now I just want to protect my mother and help you live a good life. Your lady, I don’t have any ambitions, so I just want to guard this three-thirds of an acre of land."
"How can anyone say that they have no ambitions?" Yanzhi glanced at the young lady dissatisfied, but she felt that she should not give up such an opportunity, so she walked to her side and polished her ink and said, "But young lady, I heard that Princess Xiu is Ghost doctor, his medical skills are very powerful. Even if it is not for yourself, you should think about it for your wife. Your wife is still ill now. You will go to the lotus appreciation banquet. Maybe you will meet the princess and ask her to treat your wife. Woolen cloth?"
Lan Shuiqing's hand suddenly paused, and a drop of ink fell to the ground, smearing on the handwriting...
