Lele stuck out his tongue in embarrassment. He did not mention the jade pendant, but rolled his eyes and replied:

"I lost to Grandpa Huang in chess. He was happy for a moment and agreed to Lele's request. His request was that Lele should often come to the palace to play chess with him."

Leng Yu couldn't believe this statement, but the imperial edict was absolutely true in his hands, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

He turned around and looked at Liu Dechang, who was already so excited that he was about to cry.

"Master Yue Zhan, congratulations, you got your wish."

Liu Dechang was so excited that he was a little incoherent, "Yes, yes, I, Liu Dechang, have been alone for many years, and finally I have a wife and daughter by my side. I am so lucky that my death is worth it."

Seeing that what he said was not pleasant, Luo Lan blamed him:

"Dad, it's a happy day. Don't say any unlucky words. It's fine now. Mom can officially return to the Duke's Mansion as the Duke's wife. Nana is also the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion. You don't have to hide it anymore.

With it tucked away, you can walk around the capital of Daning Kingdom openly."

A long-lost smile appeared on Xina's face, and Leng Ming standing next to her also snickered secretly.

Liu Dechang couldn't help but took Xiaoling's hand directly.

"Let's go home."

Xiaoling blushed with embarrassment and tried to dissuade her:

"It's getting late now, it's not too late to go back tomorrow."

Luo Lan was also there to persuade:

"Mom is right, how can you welcome your wife into the house at night? You should hire the best drummer in the capital early tomorrow morning to welcome your mother back to your house by playing music."

Luo Lan's words made Liu Dechang nod with understanding,

"Yes, Lan'er is right. I have neglected this point. I am going to make preparations now. Not only do I have to hire drummers, but I also have to hold a big banquet to let everyone know that I, Liu Dechang's wife, am back."

After saying these words with great interest, he turned to look at Xiaoling and said reluctantly: "Xiaoling, if I keep wronging you for one more night, I will come to take you home early tomorrow morning."

When the word "go home" was mentioned, Xiaoling nodded excitedly, but Luo Lan couldn't help but scolded:

"Dad, why is it that Mom is aggrieved when she lives in Prince Yu's Mansion? It's as if I've made Mom angry."

Seeing that Luo Lan seemed a little unhappy, Liu Dechang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to explain,

"That's not what you mean. Your mother must have wanted to return to the Duke's Mansion for a long time. After all, it is her home. No matter how good Prince Yu's Mansion is, it is not her final destination. Okay, I won't say anything anymore. You take good care of your mother. Tomorrow

I'll pick her up early in the morning, and by the way, you all go to the Duke's Mansion for a wedding banquet."

After saying this, he happily strode towards the door of Prince Yu's Mansion.

When Xiaoling saw this, she also said excitedly:

"I'm going back to pack my things, you guys can chat slowly."

After saying that, she trotted towards her room.

Looking at her back, Leng Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth with the back of his hand and said with a smile:

"I never expected that the majestic Duke of Ning would sometimes be so excited that he could not speak incoherently."

Luo Lan raised his hand and hit him on the head.

"You dare to laugh at my father?"

"How dare I? I'm just feeling emotional."

After saying this, he came to Lele, rubbed his head, and said lovingly:

"Lele has made great achievements this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Lele glanced at Luo Lan, grinned and said:

"My mother promised me to give us a day off to play with my uncle."

Before Leng Yu could respond, Leng Ming spoke directly:

"Okay, Lele has made great achievements. Don't say play for one day, but play for ten days. Your father will agree, right, fourth brother?"

Leng Yu frowned and glanced at him, then said coldly:

"Ten days won't do. I'll give you three days off to play with my uncle. But you have to be obedient and don't get into trouble. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lele was the first to applaud, "Great, now you can go play."

An An and Huaiyu also jumped up happily, "It's great, we can finally have a holiday, Lele is great."

Seeing the happy expressions of these children, Leng Yu directly took Luo Lan's hand and said softly:

"Let's go, they don't seem to need us."

Luo Lan pursed her lips, nodded with a chuckle, and followed his pull towards the backyard of the palace.

Seeing them leaving, Leng Ming approached Xina and asked cautiously:

"Nana, come with us to visit Prince Ming's Mansion tomorrow. You haven't been there yet."

this……

Just when Xina was about to find a reason not to go, Leng Ming winked at the three children, and the three children gathered around them.

"Auntie, come with us."

"Yes, it's easy for us to take a vacation. Please accompany us."

"Yes, auntie, grandma is accompanied by grandpa, mother is accompanied by father, but we don't have anyone to accompany us, so you can accompany us."

The begging of these three children really made Xina feel helpless.

"Okay, but you have to go to bed now, it's getting late."

The three children happily agreed and ran to their rooms one after another.

When everyone left and only Leng Ming and Xina were left here, Xina turned to look at Leng Ming,

"You should go back too."

"good."

Although Leng Ming agreed, he had no intention of leaving.

Xina looked at him with some confusion, "Why don't you leave?"

Leng Ming looked at her and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Nana, do you still remember what I told you during the day?"

Hearing these words, Xina's face suddenly turned crimson, she bit her lip tightly and shook her head vigorously,

"Leng Ming, I'm sorry, I think it's inappropriate between us."

"Why? Now that your identity has been restored, you are the daughter of the Protector, and I am the prince. If we want to be together, I believe my father will not object."

"Leng Ming, please let me be the second young lady of the Duke's palace safely, and don't mention this matter again. I don't want to mention it at the cusp of the storm."

"But……"

"Stop talking, I'm tired after a long day, so I'm going to bed first."

With these words behind her, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the backyard, leaving Leng Ming in a daze.

He couldn't understand why Xina rejected him. He felt that he had said everything he should say and Xina should accept him.

But when facing Leng Ming, Xina felt like a big stone was weighing on her heart and she couldn't breathe. It wasn't that she didn't like Leng Ming, she just felt that Leng Ming was still like a child who hadn't grown up yet. She

You can't give yourself to him so easily. If the two of them live together, it will feel like two children playing house.

She was originally a strong woman, how could she find a young man who only knew love and love to live with her all day long?

Maybe she will choose to be with Leng Ming when he truly becomes a man who stands upright! But at least not now.
