Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

In the early morning of the next day, when a ray of warm sunlight shone into the room, Luo Lan lazily opened his eyes.

The surrounding is already slightly cold, it seems that Leng Yu has been away for a long time, today is the day of the morning court, and he will go out early in these few days of the court every month.

As soon as Luo Lan got up, A Cai knocked on the door.

"Princess, are you up? The washing water is ready, and the slaves have come in."

A Cai can always find out when she wakes up, or in other words, she is listening to her movements at the door, even if she turns over, she can hear her.

"come in."

After calling out to the door, she stretched and got up from the bed.

After Ah Cai came in, she started chattering.

"Princess, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan have been waiting for you for a long time with a few guards. They said that the prince has ordered them to obey your command for a few days."

"Well, did An An cry last night?"

"My servant just went to see her. The two young masters and young ladies are sleeping well. The nannies followed your instructions and rubbed their bellies before going to bed."

Luo Lan took the wet towel handed over by A Cai, wiped her face and nodded,

"That's fine, it'll be fine when An'an and Lele grow up to Huaiyu's age."

"By the way, princess, General Liu came early in the morning. He came to see Lele specially. He said that when Lele grows up, he will bring Lele to the Duke's mansion to teach Lele kung fu."

Hearing this, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly,

"Father is just too straightforward. If you like Lele, you don't have to be so obvious. I have to talk about him later."

While combing her hair, A Cai chuckled and said:

"It's okay, they are still young, they won't be angry."

"But they will grow up sooner or later, and in their hearts, they will never understand why their grandfather treats them differently."

A Cai nodded half-understanding, "Your words make sense, by the way, the breakfast is ready, and the servants will bring it to you. The prince specially ordered the servants to cook the marinated eggs for you, saying that you like it."

Speaking of braised eggs, Luo Lan suddenly thought of what happened last night, this guy, do you need to hint at her so blatantly?

Thinking of this, she blushed and nodded, "Well, your lord is right, go get ready."

She doesn't want to explain too much about her liking for 'marinated eggs', it's really 'unspeakable'.

After the meal, Luo Lan called Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and several guards to him, and said with a serious face:

"In a while, let's split up in four directions: Xiao Lingzi will take two people to the east, Zhang Yuan will take two people to the west, I will take A Cai and A Hong to the south, and you will take two people to the north. Go to the villages near Minghua County, look for the families of the women who were divorced by rich man Li, and meet at Lijiazhuang at noon."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and the guards clasped their fists together and said:

"This subordinate understands, this subordinate will go now."

After all, these people divided into four groups, Luo Lan and A Cai went out in a carriage, Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and others rode horses, and went straight to Minghua County.

They took Minghua County as the center and searched for people in four directions.

The carriage that Luo Lan and the others rode came to a village three miles away from Minghua County. She asked the groom to wait at the entrance of the village. She took A Cai and A Hong to the village.

They saw a few old women sitting there chatting under a big tree, Luo Lan leaned over and asked:

"Girls, are you okay chatting here?"

The ladies nodded enthusiastically and replied:

"Yes, where is the girl from? Are you here to visit relatives or friends?"

"Ma'am, I don't visit relatives or friends. I just want to know if there are any girls in our village who have married the rich man Li's family in Lijiazhuang?"

As soon as she asked this question, the old women looked at each other and shook their heads. Some of them said:

"It's almost noon, I have to go home and cook."

Several other old ladies also echoed, "Let's go, let's go, let's go home and cook."

"Several ladies..."

Luo Lan wanted to ask a few more questions, but they had already walked away.

Looking at the backs of these people, A Cai put her hands on her hips angrily and said:

"Who? No manners at all."

Ah Hong said calmly:

"Princess, why do I feel a little strange? When I greet them, they are quite enthusiastic, but when I mention rich man Li to them, they leave with an excuse."

Luo Lan nodded with doubts in her eyes. She raised her eyes and looked at the curling smoke from the chimney of a family not far away, and said softly:

"Come on, go there and ask."

When the words fell, she walked in front, followed by A Cai and A Hong.

They came to a farmyard with a broken gate. In the yard, an old woman was chopping firewood. Judging from her gray hair, she should be 60 or [-] years old.

"aunt……"

Luo Lan called out, the old woman turned her head and looked towards the door with her palms on her forehead. When she saw Luo Lan, she put down the ax in her hand and came to the door and asked:

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Luo Lan looked at the old lady's sunken eyes and said softly:

"We pass by, can we go in and ask for a drink?"

Seeing that there were three women, the old lady nodded directly, "Please come in, there is nothing else in the house, and there is still water."

The aunt was talking and welcomed the three of them into the yard.

Sitting at the dilapidated low table, watching the aunt lying on the stove lighting a fire and boiling water, A Cai wanted to stop her, but Luo Lan waved her hand and shook her head.

A Cai pursed her lips, secretly swallowed her saliva, and whispered:

"Princess, look at the side of her pot, how dirty it is, and the bucket, it seems that it has not been used for many years."

Luo Lan didn't mind chuckling, "Since you're here to beg for water, how can you dislike the dirty water? They let us in, we should be grateful."

Ah Hong also blamed there:

"The concubine didn't say anything, but you think the house is dirty, do you know how to be ashamed?"

A Cai blushed and lowered her head in shame.

After a while, the aunt came over with a steaming kettle. She picked up several enamel jars on the table, and said to herself while pouring water:

"There is no tea at home, the girls will just drink it."

Luo Lan hurriedly took the water glass over, and said repeatedly:

"Thank you ma'am, please sit down!"

The aunt pushed two glasses of water in front of A Cai and A Hong, and then sat down, muttering resentfully,

"Since my big girl left, my house has become much quieter. My old lady is really happy that you can come here to beg for a drink."

Looking at the aunt's empty eyes, Luo Lan pursed the corners of her lips, and said softly:

"Auntie, who is Da Ni? Where has she gone? Are you the only one in your family?"

The aunt rubbed her hands and nodded,

"Um……"

After nodding, she quickly shook her head again, "I'm not alone in my family, there's also my granddaughter, she is my granddaughter, but I don't know where she is, and I can't find her!"

"Why can't I find it? Is she married, or is she out to work?"
