Chapter 19 :
Going with the flow (Pushing the waves)
Lian Mu Han glanced at him and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Dare I ask that the Crown Prince wants the Empress to hand over the Phoenix Seal?"
Dongfang Jin looked at him blankly: 'What do you mean by that? In good time, why would my MuHou hand over that Phoenix Seal?''
"Oh, that was my mishearing, I thought that the Crown Prince was going to follow the example of the General's House and have a concubine as the head of the house!" Lian Mu Han had a frozen, silly look on his face.
An Qing Ran laughed inwardly, but outwardly froze: " Wasn't it like this in other households? Since childhood I've been used to it ......"
Her voice was so soft you could barely hear her. She was wondering how she could push this conversation forward and create more trouble.
When Lian Mu Han heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "I say cousin, It's not surprising that you don't know about other people's families. You are a high-born daughter of a noble family. But our Crown prince is most familiar with these, let him tell you. Since ancient times there has been a difference between the Di and Shu, this is a matter of ethics, the essence of governing the country and the family ......"
Dongfang Jin smiled and took over, "Brother Lian is also exaggerating a bit, how can a general be so good at governing his army that he can't be good at governing his household? There must be a reason for that, mustn't there, General?"
The General's face could not stand it after all the praise and derogatory remarks he received from the two men back and forth.
He looked at Lian Muhan. It was normal for him to be affectionate with his Gumu. But how could a junior discuss his family? He wanted to say something about it.
He wanted to say something, but the crown prince was with him again, Although this Crown prince was not usually very involved in political affairs and just lounged around all day, but in the end it was the Eastern Palace, and he dared not speak out in anger, so he said in a deep voice: "Bring the Second Lady!"
Hearing his tone, An Qingran's heart was happy, she raised her eyes, but saw Dongfang Jin looking at her, smiling with interest, An Qingran pulled the corner of her mouth.
While Lian Mu Han sat there with a straight face, looking at the dishes on the table, he suddenly spoke, "When will this new replacement dish come up? I'm hungry ......"
Lian Jin Yu felt distressed at her nephew's question. “I still have some rose cake inside. Ran Er you should go and get them!”
An Qing Ran answered cheerfully and turned to go into the inner room. She searched the room but did not understand her mother's meaning. The pastry was not in the room, but she saw the water marks on the bed at a glance, the light in the house was dark just now. That Lian Jinrong was just looking for someone, and did not look closely.
Now, it was obvious that the light from outside was shining in. So she was busy reaching out and ripping the sheets off the bed and replacing them with a new one. Outside the house Lian Jingyu was already anxious and An Qingran came out, "Mother, I don't see any pastry."
Lian Jingyu exclaimed, "Looks like I remembered wrong ......"
Hong Mama took another look and busily walked in, hesitated and respectfully said: "Madam is not misremembering, the plate of pastries in the morning was already a bit bad when it was delivered, there were moldy spots on it, the old slave had someone send it back again to see if they could handle it ......"
"Moldy? Then what to do with it! By the way, it can be sent to the backyard, where there are pigs and chickens ......" An Qingran immediately interjected. She secretly apologised to her mother for her disrespect, but this is a great opportunity, isn't it a pity not to use it?
"Ah? Gumu, you ......" Lian Mu Han looked with tears under his eyes, "When I return to Lian House, nephew will have a cart of it sent over, how can auntie eat those mouldy things?"
An Qing Ran secretly sighed that her mother was smart enough to know that now was the opportunity to bring down Lian Jin Rong and make everything clear, so that her father would not be kept in the dark by that woman...
