After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

The mother and daughter waited in the palace courtyard until it was time to light the lamps, and then the Queen Mother asked Min Shanggong to come and call for help.

When Chen Dongyue brought Jun Lan, who was full of worries, to the temporary residence of the Empress Dowager, they saw that quite a few people were already sitting in the not-so-large living room.

Prince Kang and his wife, the Crown Prince and his wife, Prince Yong'an, Ji Chongning, and Song Ke were all there.

When everyone saw Chen Dongyue and Jun Lan coming, they all shouted for the servants to bring stools for the mother and daughter to sit on.

Chen Dongyue declined again and again, "No, no, we have been sitting for the whole afternoon, just standing is fine."

After all, if we want to put two more chairs in this small hall, we have to put them outside the door.

The Empress Dowager also discovered this problem.

The old lady grumbled, "Alright, stop being so polite. Song Ke, get up and let your wife sit down. Jun Lan, come here and let me take a good look."

Jun Lan glanced at Chen Dongyue.

After seeing Chen Dongyue nodded at her, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the Empress Dowager.

Chen Dongyue didn't bother to be polite with Song Ke and sat calmly on Song Ke's small round stool.

After Jun Lan walked up to the Empress Dowager, the old lady pulled him into her arms.

After looking Jun Lan up and down for a few times, she said, "If you don't look closely, you won't notice this child, but once you look closely, he does look a bit like the Lin family's child."

Ji Chongning, who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager, nodded and said, "Indeed, he looks very much like my grandfather."

“Yes,” the Empress Dowager also nodded, “Look at this hand, and then look at this foot, how big it is… Most girls can’t have such big feet.

This child doesn’t look fat, but… uh, I can’t hold him up, he’s a solid block!”

The people below had different expressions.

They really didn't understand whether the Empress Dowager's words were a compliment or criticism.

However, Jun Lan felt that the old lady was praising him.

She smiled at the Grand Empress Dowager and said, "To answer your question, my mother always said that girls with big hands and feet have great strength, and I can eat two bowls of rice in one meal!"

The Empress Dowager was amused by Jun Lan. "Okay, okay, the tone of your speech is exactly the same as your mother's. Then I ask you, are you willing to live with me in the palace?"

"Can you tell the truth?" Jun Lan asked with his head tilted.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Just say what you think. Don't worry too much."

"I want to go, but I don't really want to go." Jun Lan twisted his fingers in embarrassment.

"Where did you get this from?" asked Ji Chongning beside him.

Jun Lan replied, "My mother told me before that there are many new and interesting things in the capital, so I wanted to go and have a look.

But if I have to stay in the palace all the time, won't I be able to see anything new? It would be better to stay in Liaocheng.

And also...if I leave, what will my mother and grandma do if they miss me?

Besides, I also miss the teachers and classmates in the academy... Although Tugen is a little dirty, he is also my good friend, and I don't want to be separated from my good friend."

"Hahahaha," the Queen Mother was amused, "you little kid, you have a lot to consider."

"If I promise you that I will bring all your relatives and friends to the capital, and... you can enter and leave the Eastern Palace freely, would you be willing to go to the capital with me?" Ji Chongning asked.

"Really? My nephew?!" Jun Lan was very surprised. "You keep your word~~~"

Everyone was amused by Jun Lan's call of "nephew".

Ji Chongning looked fierce and said to Jun Lan, "Can you please give me some face?"

"........Then what should I call you?" Jun Lan asked back.

Um, this...it seems like it’s not wrong, right?

But Ji Chongning didn't want to discuss this issue in depth, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "The important thing now is whether you want to go back to the capital with us. We can discuss other things later."

“........Mother?” Jun Lan looked at Chen Dongyue who was sitting at the door, as if asking for help.

Chen Dongyue replied, "You can decide your own affairs, but I have to make it clear that I am a rude and unruly person, and I am really not suitable to live in the palace."

"I didn't ask you to live in the palace," Ji Chongning continued, "We have already discussed it. If Jun Lan is willing to go to the capital, she can study in the East Palace during the day. If she likes, I can also help her find a few study companions.

You can go back to the Lin Mansion at night. Then you or Old Lady Song and the others can also stay at the Lin Mansion.

As for whether you want to continue doing business, open a shop, or do something else, no one will interfere with you."

"Mom?! Do you think this is okay?" Jun Lan looked at Chen Dongyue with bright eyes.

"I don't have any problem, but your grandma and your second uncle have their own things to do in Liaocheng.

If you want them to accompany you, you have to ask their opinions." Chen Dongyue replied.

Jun Lan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go back and ask!!"

Seeing Jun Lan so anxious, the Empress Dowager asked her to go home and ask.

After the mother and daughter left, the Empress Dowager said to Song Ke: "You are the best head of the family. Jun Lan can consider everyone's opinions, but she never thought of asking for yours."

It hurts, old lady.

Seeing Song Ke's embarrassed expression, Ji Chongning immediately added: "That's what I said! No one asked Song Ke where he would go in the future~~~ Chen Dongyue didn't ask, and Jun Lan didn't ask either."

Song Ke lowered his head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't ask. Anyway, I have to be with my wife and children."

After saying that, he raised his head and grinned at Ji Chongning.

Ji Chongning gritted his teeth and managed to say, "That's not necessarily true."
