The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Le Ning frantically coaxed Zhou Xiantong, very at a loss. After all, her modern mother was not such a gentle and intellectual woman. She usually roared at the east of the river, and the content was nothing more than:

"Look at the mess in your girl's house, the kennel is cleaner than yours!"

"My colleague's daughter can cook at home, wash clothes and mop the floor at the age of eight. Look at you, you are so old, you are not sensible at all!"

In Le Ning's impression, there is almost no appearance of her mother crying, she is always so strong and domineering.

Seeing Zhou Xiantong crying now, Le Ning suddenly thought, if her mother found out about her disappearance, or some other unexpected situation, maybe...she would cry too.

Thinking about it, Le Ning's eyes were inevitably red, and there was a slight tremor in his voice:

"Aniang, don't cry. Let's drink some porridge while it's hot. I just boiled it when I got up early in the morning. How do you taste it?"

Zhou Xiantong couldn't help nodding, took out a silk embroidered handkerchief and dabbed it on the corner of his eyes, the smile on his face was as warm and brilliant as the sun breaking through the clouds and mists: "Hey, hey, ah... what Ah Ning made must be excellent .”

She had heard the prince mention a few words about Le Ning's previous life, and she mostly referred to it as "A Ning" in her words, and now she also calls it that way, the child was not yet one year old back then, and the sage had another intention after the same week The child was brought into the palace to be raised, so Zhou Xiantong and Lu Biheng discussed it, and they were not in a hurry to get a name, they only called it nannie.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the child has disappeared, so how can he think about the name.

Hearing her calling him that, Le Ning suddenly remembered, yes, now that he has returned to the Duke's Mansion, he will definitely change his name in the future.

It would be fine if she only changed her surname, but if she had another name, would she not be able to respond even more when someone called her in the future?

As soon as her subtle worries surfaced in her mind, Zhou Xiantong noticed, and asked her if she had any concerns, Le Ning bit her lips, and asked her doubts in a low voice with a little bit of tentativeness.

Zhou Xiantong paused while holding the spoon, Fang smiled and said to her, "It's all up to you, and now I think the word 'Ning' is also very good."

The big thing is that the child is back, and the rest is not so important.

Le Ning thanked her with a smile, and there was a little smile on her face, maybe Zhou Xiantong's temperament was too gentle, she quickly relaxed, feeling that having such a gentle and tolerant mother was also a blessing. beautiful thing.

It's a pity that the original owner's consciousness has gone somewhere, and now she is the only one left enjoying Zhou Xiantong's care.

Zhou Xiantong saw her love for the chef, and Wen Sheng told her some rare dishes that he had seen when he went to the palace. Le Ning was really interested in the craftsmanship of those imperial chefs, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed after asking and answering.

Just at this moment, there was a coughing sound from outside.

Le Ning paused, but Zhou Xiantong laughed again, "Look at my memory, Biheng was a little hesitant before and didn't dare to see you, worried that his serious appearance would scare you, but now he may be waiting a little anxiously."

Lu Biheng's hearing is good, even if he is some distance away, he can vaguely spell out the conversations in the kitchen. Now that he heard his wife revealing his previous timidity, he bowed his head and coughed a few times in embarrassment, his face was still that tough guy The tip of his ear turned red quietly.

Lu Wanzhen watched from the side, and couldn't help but smile a little, but she immediately turned her head away, not daring to let Lu Biheng see it, for fear that the future father-in-law would think of this in the future, and just add a little more hindrance to herself.

Soon, Le Ning followed Zhou Xiantong out.

Le Ning is actually not very afraid of Lu Biheng's appearance, because many younger brothers who join the army in modern times also have such a serious look, but what they do is to protect their families and the country, so what is there to be afraid of?

Not only was she not afraid, but she also felt that her new father was extremely handsome.

Therefore, following the pattern of meeting Zhou Xiantong just now, she boldly called out "Grandpa" first, and Lu Biheng only squeezed out a "hmm" from her throat for a long time, obviously looking like she wanted to say something more to herself , but in the end nothing can be said.

Not only that, seeing Le Ning dressed in men's clothing, Lu Biheng wanted to pat the child's shoulder with his hand like patting the boys in the army. Everything was said, but he raised his hand halfway, remembering that this child is a juicy boy. girl, so the hand shrank back in embarrassment.

Just like that, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Fortunately, Le Ning was not afraid of him, and Zhou Xiantong mediated, and soon extended the previous conversation in the kitchen. Lu Biheng was beside him like a wall pillar, no matter what Zhou Xiantong and Le Ning said, he would always nod.

"I have some newly produced cloth from Jiangnan. Is Aning more interested in men's clothing, or wants to wear a skirt, and mother will cut some new clothes for you someday."

Lu Biheng nodded.

"I have a few shops in Dongshi. If you like, those shops are just used as restaurants. Dongshi opens late and closes early. It's much more comfortable to not have to get up early and stay late like in the square." Zhou Xiantong Thinking of the pavement at hand, he asked Le Ning again in a gentle voice.

Lu Biheng was still nodding.

Le Ning did not expect that she could own so many houses and land in an instant, she was a little dazed, and said:

"But I used to do well at Master's place... Besides, I have been working with Master for many years, and I should say hello to Master every time I feel emotional..."

In the middle of speaking, Le Ning noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird.

Lu Biheng's expression was much colder, and Zhou Xiantong couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She was a little dazed, and subconsciously looked at Lu Wanzhen who was not far away.

Lu Wanzhen had been watching from a distance, like an outsider, watching Le Ning surrounded by Zhou Xiantong and Lu Biheng, and the family of three slowly communicating.

She thought, this should belong to Le Ning's happiness, the Lu family is such a good place, maybe all the children in the world want to be born here.

From a very young age, Lu Wanzhen got used to the surname Lu, watching the children who really belonged to the Lu family running, playing, and growing wantonly in this Duke's mansion.

But it wasn't until Le Ning looked at her subconsciously at this moment that she suddenly realized that she was longing for such a scene with a sense of belonging.

She lowered her eyes subconsciously, and when she raised them again, she had returned to normal. The red mole at the end of her eyes was bright and beautiful, embellished with the burning light in her eyes:

"I haven't discussed this matter with Aning in detail yet."

Lu Wanzhen told the truth to Lu Biheng and his wife.

Zhou Xiantong sighed slowly, and Lu Biheng habitually patted her hand lightly to comfort her.

Le Ning keenly sensed something in this atmosphere.

"Master, is... what happened?"

Zhou Xiantong didn't know how to explain this matter, she really hated Zou Dequan, but she couldn't kill him.

If it wasn't for Zou Dequan, she and Bi Heng wouldn't have had to endure these 20 years of pain, but if it wasn't for Zou Dequan, perhaps their child would have been sold somewhere by that unscrupulous couple.

They now know that Le Ning traveled abroad for eight years in order to avoid the arrangement of the couple.

Thinking of the child wandering outside for many years, but their husband and wife never knew about it, what's more, Zhou Xiantong remembered that he followed Lu Biheng to Zou Gong's restaurant that day, and when he saw the half-child was about to go out, he only told him to be careful, She couldn't help feeling a lot of annoyance in her heart.

If I had thought about it more at that time, and looked at this child carefully, maybe I wouldn't have missed those many years in between.

Now being asked by Le Ning, Zhou Xiantong and Lu Biheng didn't know how to tell her that the master she had admired for many years was the culprit who separated her family of three.

Lu Wanzhen saw the embarrassment of the two of them, and immediately took the matter over, and suggested: "Let me talk to Aning about this matter."

Zhou Xiantong didn't think too much about it, she just thought that Lu Wanzhen and Le Ning had a good relationship, how could she think that His Royal Highness was not interested in drinking, and looked at her husband, then she slowly responded:

"Alright."

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for this matter."

Le Ning blinked, seeing them playing charades among themselves, he was not in a hurry, knowing that Lu Wanzhen would explain it carefully to him.

Lu Biheng watched his wife's emotional ups and downs throughout the morning, worried about her health, and said to Le Ning simply: "I'll take your mother back to the courtyard first."

Le Ning also sent the two of them out of the yard, and at the same time said to Zhou Xiantong: "I'll make some chicken soup for mother when I get back."

Zhou Xiantong smiled and shook his head: "There's no need to go through such a hassle. When you come back, your servants will clean up your food. I don't know how you like it. I'll let someone prepare it in advance."

Le Ning, who is used to doing things by himself, has not yet realized the treatment of the rich and powerful who stretch out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food. After a while, he was not used to it, and then said: "I can do it, don't choose."

Unexpectedly, after she uttered these words, a bit of heartache flashed in the eyes of Lu Biheng and Zhou Xiantong.

It must be because the child has endured too much hardship outside that he has developed such a hard-working temperament.

Le Ning didn't know that her casual sentence made the couple think a lot more, and sent them away. When she returned to the yard, she saw Xiao Zhima, who had woken up, running to her feet, using her head Rubbing her ankles against her ears, she made a meowing sound from time to time.

Le Ning saw a smile on his face, leaned over to pick up the cat, walked towards Lu Wanzhen and said:

"What did His Highness want to tell me about Master?"

Lu Wanzhen looked at the cat writhing in her arms, dishonestly trying to run away, and made a jealous voice:

"Humph."

Longman:"?"

She raised her head to look at Lu Wanzhen, then looked down at Mao'er, and laughed dumbfoundedly for a while: "Your Highness, close your eyes, you are about to ignite the sesame seeds."

Lu Wanzhen: "..."

She pointed to her lips expressionlessly, "One kiss, one news."

Le Ning simply responded, "Okay."

Lu Wanzhen froze for a moment, wondering when she became so generous.

Le Ning smiled at her and said, "Your Highness, close your eyes, otherwise I'd be so embarrassed."

Lu Wanzhen: "..." You don't look embarrassed.

Thinking so in her heart, she still closed her eyes, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

next moment--

Her lips were stung by a layer of beard, accompanied by a star of moisture.

Lu Wanzhen: "...!"

She opened her eyes angrily, shrinking her neck in fright at the sesame seeds that were being hugged in front of her, as if silently defending:

I'm just an innocent kitten, meow~

Behind the cat, Le Ning smiled uncontrollably: "Hahahaha, how does this kiss feel, Your Highness?"

Lu Wanzhen was outraged.

She pressed Le Ning to the edge of the table, leaned forward and threatened in a low voice: "You dare to play tricks on me, but you are so courageous——"

In the middle of the conversation, Le Ning suddenly stuffed something into her mouth quickly.

Lu Wanzhen choked on his words.

Soon, a sweet taste spread in her mouth, it was the small piece of brown sugar left by Le Ning when she made the "pearl".

Le Ning let go of the cat with a smile, put his hands on Lu Wanzhen's shoulders, and said to her with a wide smile:

"Eat my candy, speak sweeter, Your Highness."

Obviously someone else called her the usual "Your Highness", but for some reason, when it was said from Le Ning's mouth at this moment, it had a particularly provocative aura.

Maybe men's clothing is no longer important, and her identity no longer needs to be concealed, so her voice is soft and sweet.

Or if she was too close, Lu Wanzhen could clearly see her dark brown pupils illuminated by the sun, which tasted as sweet as the milk tea she tasted last time.

all in all--

Lu Wanzhen's anger at being teased earlier disappeared completely unconsciously.

She crushed the brown sugar between her teeth, let the sweetness diffuse, and leaned over again:

"Sweet or not, you will know when you taste it."
