Chapter 399 The Emperor’s Communication
Leng Ming, who followed him, looked at Luo Lan and said indignantly:
"Sister-in-law, I have ordered people to follow the direction of An An and Huaiyu when they came. I believe that I will find out soon who locked them up."
Luo Lan looked at the dirty little faces of the two children and asked with distress:
"What have you experienced in the past two days? Who did you meet? How did you escape?"
An An stared at her big eyes, held her mouth, and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, An An is hungry. An An wants to eat and wants to drink water in big mouthfuls."
An An's words are enough to explain what they have experienced in the past two days and one night.
Luo Lan's tears couldn't help but slid down her cheeks, but she still held back her tears and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, mom, I'll order someone to prepare some food for you, and then take a good shower and have a good sleep."
Seeing the tired look of these two children, she didn't want to continue asking questions, and she looked up at Leng Ming and said:
"Ming'er, you're tired these two days, go back and rest! Let's talk about everything tomorrow."
Leng Ming stood there, looking at her in confusion.
"But... but we should strike while the iron is hot and find out who locked them up."
Luo Lan shook her head with a trembling eyelash, "They are so tired, let them take a good rest."
While speaking, she looked down and saw that An An had fallen asleep leaning against her legs, and Huaiyu was also dozing off.
Seeing this scene, Leng Ming couldn't bear to go forward and picked up Huaiyu, nodded with his lips,
"Okay, I'll take him back to the room."
Luo Lan also picked An An up and walked towards her room.
She didn't know what the two children had experienced, but she was thankful as long as she watched them come back safely.
Perhaps it was because of the sudden loss of the two children this time that the emperor felt a sudden awakening. The next morning, the emperor sent an oral order to ask Luo Lan to bring her three children to the palace to see him.
This is the first time that the emperor has spread the word since these three children grew up.
Luo Lan, who learned the news, hurriedly ordered people to change into formal clothes for them and repeatedly told them about the rules and etiquette after entering the palace.
"Mom, what does Grandpa Emperor look like? Are you very old?"
Huaiyu, who had never seen the emperor before, was a little curious about this emperor's grandfather.
Luo Lan touched his head and said with a chuckle:
"Grandpa Emperor is not old, but Grandpa Emperor is an angry person, so when you see him, you should say more nice things. Also, today you will see a child named Xiaobao, who is the same as you,
Your grandfather, don’t quarrel with him, treat him politely and friendly, do you know?"
Huaiyu nodded first, "Don't worry, mom, we won't cause trouble for Nyonya."
An An nodded with his big eyes while touching the silver bell hairpin on his hair.
"Mom, you have told us three times. We know that we will obey, not talk nonsense, not run around, and not cause trouble."
Lele stood there, muttering his little mouth and thrust his nose and asked:
"What if he bullies us?"
Luo Lan smiled helplessly. She raised her hand and rubbed Lele's head, and replied softly:
"If anyone violates me, I will not offend others. If someone violates me, I will offend others."
After saying this, she stood up straight and said seriously to the three children:
"Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, she led the way in front, and the three children followed her with their short legs.
Today is not a special day, so the city gate is a bit deserted.
According to the father-in-law who came to send the message, the emperor had just had a sudden idea and wanted to meet his grandchildren, that's all.
When Luo Lan brought her three children to the Palace of Yangxin, Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao had already arrived with Xiaobao first.
At this time, Xiaobao was standing next to the emperor and accepting the emperor's question. He looked very reserved.
Leng Xi, who was standing aside, looked at An An and Huaiyu. He was glad that he blocked his face yesterday, otherwise he would have met him so soon, and he could not explain it.
Luo Lan brought three children to the emperor. She signaled the three children to kneel down, but she bowed.
After kowtowed three times to the emperor on the spot, the three children hugged their fists tightly, and said solemnly and seriously:
"Grandson/granddaughter pays homage to the emperor and wishes the emperor and grandfather a blessing."
The emperor looked at the three children, and finally fell on Lele, narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and asked kindly:
"Your name is Lele?"
Lele stared at her big dark eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes."
The emperor nodded, looked at Huaiyu and An An again, then waved his hands at them.
"Come on, come to Grandpa Emperor, this is Xiaobao, your younger brother."
It turned out that this little treasure had been the first to memorize the Book of Songs and a few ancient poems for the emperor because he had memorized the Book of Songs and several ancient poems for the emperor.
Seeing this, the three children got up from the ground together and came timidly to the emperor.
Lele generously stretched out his hand and greeted him in a delicate voice, "Hello, Xiaobao, my name is Lele, you can call me Brother Lele."
Xiaobao looked at him with his nose, stretched out his hand reluctantly, and then grabbed his hand briefly, then pulled it back.
Seeing this, Huaiyu politely reached out his hand, "Hello, Brother Xiaobao, I am Brother Huaiyu."
Xiaobao looked at him and snorted with disdain.
"You are just an adopted child, so I won't call you brother."
Hearing this, Huaiyu blushed and replied angrily:
"You nonsense, I am not an adopted child. My father is Prince Yu, the general of the God of War. He went to the battlefield to fight. He can resist thousands of enemies alone, and he can fight the enemy to fear."
Xiaobao hummed with his nose and continued:
"No, you are not a child from Prince Yu's Mansion at all. Your father and your mother are dead. You are just a child without father or mother."
Seeing this, An An took two steps forward, raised his hand and pointed at Xiaobao, shouting loudly:
"You're talking nonsense. My brother is the best brother in the world. He has a father and a mother. You are such a bad child. Haven't your father and mother taught you to learn to respect others?"
"You are the bad boy, you don't respect others? You can lie. He is a child without a father or a mother. Who doesn't know about the whole capital?"
Seeing that the tone of these children became more and more fierce, Luo Lan immediately stepped forward with two unhappy steps and scolded:
"Xiaobao, no matter what, you should call Huaiyu brother. How could you be so rude to him?"
Xiaobao pointed at Huaiyu without hesitation, and shouted with a twisted face:
"Hmph! His father is a traitor and he also wants to subvert the court, but in the end he was killed by his mother. His father is a bad guy and his mother is the murderer. He must be no better place, so I don't want to call him brother."
"presumptuous."
Seeing that Xiaobao was talking less and less conscientiously, Leng Xi took two steps forward, pulled him over, and scolded him sternly:
"Who told you this? You are so brave. How did your mother teach you?"
Xiaobao raised his head and replied without fear:
"It's true that everyone says that."
"Shut up."
Leng Xi blushed again and interrupted him. Seeing this, the emperor was not angry, but waved his hand directly.
