Chapter 596: Family Banquet
Under Lan Jihua's explanation, Bai Qianfan finally figured out the intricate relationship between the Nanyuan royal family. Lan Liuqing is the princess of the previous dynasty, when the empress of the dynasty, she has married three attached horses in her life, and the reigning is Lan Nonghua's father, he is a very talented poet, very famous in Nanyuan, very loved by the girls, even the empress admires him, so even if he carries a small oil bottle, he does not dislike it, and recruits him to be an attached horse.
Lan Nonghua changed his surname after entering the palace, because he changed his surname to be eligible to compete for the monarch of Nanyuan, which is an open country, and does not emphasize the orthodoxy of blood, and pursues the principle of the capable first.
Lan Jihua even joked, "Sister, why don't you just change your surname to Lan and compete for the throne with Brother A." ”
Bai Qianfan is unbelievable, in the royal family of Dongyue, except for the crown prince, no one dares to say that they want to fight for the throne, they only recruit troops and horses behind their backs, form gangs, and dare not make trouble in the open.
"You're not afraid that I'll take your place?"
Lan Jihua shrugged his shoulders and disagreed, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, this is very practiced in Nanyuan, everyone wants good things, this is understandable, take out all your skills and show them to see who is the top-notch one, and I am not only a competitor of you." ”
"Who else?"
"The Lan Nonghua you see today, and some of the children of the clan, as long as the surname is Lan, they have power."
"Aren't you afraid of other people's hooks?"
"What are you afraid of, who doesn't have a few yin hooks behind them, but the bottom line is that you can't die, the Nanyuan royal family has always been sparsely populated, if you fight to the death one by one, you don't need foreign enemies, you can destroy yourself."
Bai Qianfan was amused by his words, "Empress, I mean the Empress allows you to fight like this?" ”
"Of course, she likes people with fighting spirit." Lan Jihua encouraged her, "You can join in, the mother queen will definitely be very happy." ”
Bai Qianfan shook her head, "I'm not interested," she put Murong Mian on the ground and let him practice walking slowly along the table, "I'm only interested in raising him." ”
Lan Jihua smiled helplessly, "You really don't look like a native of Nanyuan." ”
As soon as the words fell, Murong Lin sat on the ground, Lan Jihua hurriedly got up and wanted to pull him up, but Murong Lin brushed his hand, grabbed the table leg and struggled to get up, and continued to walk forward slowly with his short legs.
Lan Jihua turned her head to look at Bai Qianfan, and when she saw her sitting there without any reaction, she felt strange: "I thought you were very nervous, why didn't you react at all when he fell?" ”
Bai Qianfan wrote lightly, "I'm used to falling, and besides, he doesn't like others to help him,"
"Lin'er is like a native of Nanyuan, he has the spirit of self-improvement, or ......" he asked tentatively, "Let him change his surname to Lan ......"
"Don't even think about it." Bai Qianfan glanced at him, "We'll leave when the time comes, besides, his father is the emperor of Dongyue, and he will be the crown prince when he goes back, do you still have to compete with others for the throne?" ”
Lan Jihua touched her nose, "That's true, but the Dongyue Emperor has set up a queen, in case the new queen gives birth to a son in the future, Lin'er won't ......"
"No, it won't." Bai Qianfan interrupted him, "There won't be that kind of thing." ”
"What won't happen? The new queen can't give birth to a son? ”
"Knowing that I'm not dead, he won't be a new queen."
"So, you didn't believe me from the beginning?"
Bai Qianfan looked at him and shook his head, "I don't believe it." ”
Lan Jihua looked at her for a long time, "Where does your confidence come from?" Ah Mei, let me tell you, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world, he is now the emperor, and he has the entire Dongyue on his shoulders, and the things he thinks about are different, he has to think about the whole country. is like the mother queen, although she is the empress, many things are helpless. ”
After he said for a long time, Bai Qianfan sat there indifferent, his expression was indifferent, and he obviously didn't listen. He sighed secretly in his heart, with such a stubborn son, it is not easy for the mother emperor's plan to be implemented.
No matter how Lan Jihua lobbied, Bai Qianfan always felt that she had come here as a guest, and she would leave as soon as the time came, and she couldn't find a sense of belonging to her homeland. In her opinion, her hometown is in Lin'an, where she grew up, and now that her husband is there, she will soon return to him.
To Nanyuan, to the empress and Lan Jihua, to be honest, she can't talk about deep feelings, after all, feelings take time to slowly precipitate, and besides, it feels very strange to her here, everyone treats her well, but she is always a little uneasy in her heart, it is an intuition, not to mention danger, it is a kind of uncertainty about the unknown, she is not sure what else she can encounter here.
Ruzhu Ruyu is a sister flower with a clear division of labor, Ruzhu is responsible for all errands, Ruyu is responsible for close service, so she is often only Ruyu alone, Bai Qianfan will not let people help bring Mo Ronglin, she takes him everywhere, Mo Ronglin's food is also made by herself, the little guy is almost a year old, in addition to milk, he will also eat some soft rice, Nanyuan's rice is particularly delicious, glutinous and sweet, Bai Qianfan gave him a small bowl, a small spoon, he can eat the bowl quietly as if he had just been washed.
Bai Qianfan likes to watch him eat, chewing heavily, in fact, he only has four teeth in his mouth, but he looks very old when eating, which often makes her laugh, and when she laughs, Murong Lin eats more energetically. Bai Qianfan felt that his personality was quite like herself, with a face, but it was a very out-of-the-box character, and she couldn't wait to see him grow up.
Three days later, at the family banquet, Bai Qianfan finally saw the thunderous Ma Bai Qingyin, sure enough, it was Yushu Linfeng, a talent, the years did not leave any traces on his face, he looked like Lan Jihua's brother, but it is said that he is eight years older than the empress, and people can't help but secretly praise him for his ability to stay in the face.
There were also some royal relatives of the clan who participated in the family banquet, and the empress introduced Bai Qianfan one by one, but she didn't remember any of them, both men and women wore golden crowns, and their clothes were incomparably gorgeous and luxurious, and they hugged her, making Bai Qianfan feel as if she was in a garden.
Lan Jihua relieved her siege, blocked everyone, and said, "Don't worry, Princess Wuyang has just returned to the court, and there will be time to get close to her in the future, don't scare her." ”
The banquet in Nanyuan is different from that of Dongyue, there is a long table, the table is covered with a white silk cloth, hanging down lightly, and the dishes are not round, but have various shapes, Bai Qianfan found that many dishes are placed with flowers, she is very surprised, are these flowers edible?
Lan Jihua saw her confusion and explained, "Some can be eaten, some are put on display, and you can see it if you look closely." ”
Bai Qianfan followed his example, took a big yellow flower and ate two bites, it was a little powdery, slightly sweet, and it tasted good. She thought it was very interesting, and asked Lan Jihua for advice on how to make these flowers, thinking that she would teach Crimson when she went back, she must be very interested.
