After Murong Yan's affairs were settled, the palace gradually became busy, and Qin Zhen also had something to do.
While helping Murong Yan prepare for the wedding, she was also thinking about what kind of first-year gift she would prepare for her son.
However, she has limited time to deal with things every day. Lou Yan keeps a close eye on her and will never allow her to overwork. When the time comes, he will come to her door to force her to rest. Even when Lou Yan is not at home, he will give orders to Linglong
Staring at her, not relaxing at all.
Time passed like this day by day, and two days before Xiao Lanzhen's birthday, news came from the palace that the emperor was going to hold a grand birthday party for Xiao Lanzhen in the palace.
Qin Zhen was a little reluctant about this.
In her opinion, when a child is one year old, it is enough for the family to get together to have a meal and have a small ceremony. There is no need to make such a big deal.
It's really too ostentatious.
Qin Zhen doesn't want Xiao Lanzhen to live in the spotlight.
Lou Yan knew what she was thinking, so he said: "Our Lan Zhen is destined to live in the forefront of the storm."
Because Xiao Lanzhen is their son and their only child.
Therefore, whether she likes it or not, Xiao Lanzhen is destined to be the center of attention.
When Qin Zhen thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case. They now lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public, but the outside world's eyes were still firmly fixed on their palace.
Therefore, no matter how they hide, they cannot escape.
Just because Lou Yan is now the emperor's favorite son, although he does not have the title of prince, his real power exceeds that of the prince back then.
Not a prince, but better than a prince.
Therefore, Lou Yan's son is destined to be unable to keep a low profile.
However, Lou Yan could never bear to see Qin Zhen disappointed, so he said, "If you really don't like it, I'll go to your Majesty and tell him that we won't hold this first-year banquet."
When Qin Zhen heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry: "How dare you disobey His Majesty's imperial edict?"
Lou Yan said calmly: "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. I'll take care of the rest."
What’s an imperial edict? It’s not like he can’t do other, more extreme things.
He worked so hard and risked his life to win merit, and endured discomfort to please the emperor. What was he doing for this?
He just wanted to be able to do whatever he wanted without being restrained by others, so that his family could live a good life.
If they were all commoners, this wish would be easily achieved. But if they were born into the royal family, this road would be destined to be much more difficult.
But no matter how difficult it was to walk, Lou Yan also made it here.
Qin Zhen looked at Lou Yan intently for a while, but couldn't hold it back any longer. She stood up on tiptoes and kissed Lou Yan on the lips, sighing: "Ayan, why are you so nice?"
After a pause, he added: "I must have done something good in my previous life to meet you in this life."
She saved two people in her previous life.
One Xiao Jue made her irrecoverable.
A Lou Yan brought her from hell to heaven.
She thought that all the merit she had accumulated by doing good deeds would be exchanged for Lou Yan's relationship with her.
Lou Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Zhen, with a rare smile on his face. He lowered his head and kissed her back, then said, "It's because of the virtue I accumulated in my previous life that I can meet you in this life."
When Qin Zhen heard this, she felt sad in her heart.
She remembered what Xiao Jue said.
Xiao Jue said that Lou Yan in his previous life treated him...
But in their previous life, they were separated.
Qin Zhen raised her hand and hugged Lou Yan's neck, saying softly: "So, we must be good."
