Li Xiaoran’s words made Luo Cheng unable to calm down for a long time.
After thinking back carefully, his impression of his father over the years was that of unfamiliarity.
From the beginning to the end, he had never received his father’s love, nor had he been close to him.
It was because his father was very special. Other than being his father, he was also the emperor of the country.
However, today, Li Xiaoran said something different. This made Luo Cheng realize for the first time that other than being the emperor, he was also a father.
Luo Cheng wouldn’t have thought of this in the past.
But now, he began to think about it.
The emperor, who had returned to the royal palace, was sitting alone in the imperial study.
He kept staring at something in a daze.
The eunuchs who served him were all chased out of the imperial study by the emperor, so he could think about things all alone.
At this moment, the emperor kept recalling what Li Xiaoran had said previously.
In the royal family, this girl was the first to disregard his identity as the emperor and even dare to mock him.
At this moment, the emperor finally understood.
Why did the imperial edict he issued to let his seventh son marry the princess of the Zhu Lan Kingdom become an imperial edict to let his seventh son marry that country girl, Li Xiaoran?
Perhaps his seventh son saw sincerity from that country girl!
Thinking of this, the emperor sighed.
The next morning, two major events happened in the imperial court.
The first thing he did was to restore Luo Cheng’s identity as the Seventh Prince. At the same time, Luo Cheng would be conferred the title of King of Sichuan and a city in Sichuan would be designated as his fief. At the same time, the emperor also stated in the imperial decree that although the Seventh Prince wasn’t a member of the royal family, he was the emperor’s seventh son, so there was no doubt about his identity as a prince. At the same time, Li Xiaoran’s identity as the Seventh Prince’s wife was also written on the imperial decree and was officially recognized. In other words, Li Xiaoran was the Seventh Prince’s wife.
The second thing was the content of the emperor’s will, which said that if the emperor suddenly died, the ministers of the government would support the new emperor. At the same time, he clarified that the Seventh Prince wasn’t the one who would succeed the throne.
These two major events caught everyone off guard.
The princes who originally wanted to kill Luo Cheng stopped.
The emperor’s actions were already a warning to them.
If they didn’t stop, they would probably be taught a lesson by the emperor.
Of course, there were also people who felt that the emperor was using a smokescreen to fool them.
There were some people who felt that on the surface, it seemed that the person who succeeded the throne wasn’t the seventh son, but in fact, it was the seventh son.
The emperor’s move was to protect his seventh son.
However, although they had such doubts, now wasn’t the time to attack.
After all, they had to restrain themselves under the emperor’s watch.
When Luo Cheng suddenly saw the imperial edict before he could even figure out how he should interact with the emperor, he frowned.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng stood together. Not knowing what to say after receiving the imperial edict, the couple looked at each other.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran didn’t expect to get the title of the Seventh Prince’s concubine after treating the emperor like that yesterday.
On the other side, Xiao Dezi had personally come to deliver the imperial edict.
After reading the imperial decree, Xiao Dezi was all smiles.
“Congratulations, Seventh Prince! Seventh Consort! Before I came, the emperor specifically instructed me to tell you guys to prepare some tasty food to show filial piety to him! By the way, the emperor also said that since you guys don’t like the royal family, he’ll reward you guys with a gold medal. With this gold medal, you guys don’t have to kneel to anyone except the emperor and the empress dowager!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Xiao Dezi’s words, she immediately took the gold medal happily.
“Husband, I like his gift very much. As expected, well-meaning gifts are the best!”
With that, Li Xiaoran thought of something and turned to look at Xiao Dezi.
“Xiao Dezi, you’ve been busy all morning, so you must be hungry! Why don’t you eat breakfast with us?! Let me tell you, I made my favorite rolls this morning. They taste very good. You’ll regret it if you miss out on them!”
When the young eunuch beside Xiao Dezi heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he didn’t show it on his face, but he felt very disdainful.
She wanted to brush him off with a burrito? As expected of someone who came from the countryside. She was so stingy.
If it were anyone else, shouldn’t they be more generous and reward them with some silver or banknotes?
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Dezi heard Li Xiaoran’s words and recalled the taste of the dishes he had tasted yesterday, his eyes lit up.
“Sorry to disturb you! If these rolls are delicious, I wonder if you two can make more for me to bring back for the emperor to try?!”
When the young eunuch behind heard this, he couldn’t help but look up at Xiao
Dezi in surprise.
Was this still the majestic chief eunuch of the royal family?
When Li Xiaoran heard Xiao Dezi’s words, she sized him up.
“You’re quite concerned about him! As long as you dare to bring it to him, I’ll dare to make it!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You’re a magnanimous person, so how can you harm me?!” Xiao Dezi said with a smile.
As Li Xiaoran looked at Xiao Dezi, she felt that these eunuchs who accompanied the emperor really were not ordinary people!
“Don’t worry, I, Li Xiaoran, never do such harmful things!”
With that, Li Xiaoran called everyone to the inner residence for dinner.
The two eunuchs who had followed Xiao Dezi here to read the imperial decree were also invited in.
To their surprise, Li Xiaoran actually invited them to sit down and eat breakfast together.
This terrified the two eunuchs.
“What’s wrong? Are you unwilling to sit down and eat because we’re not hospital enough?” Li Xiaoran looked at the two eunuchs in confusion as she asked.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he knew what the two eunuchs were concerned about.
Recalling what Li Xiaoran had said previously, Luo Cheng said,
“Sit down and eat! Madam is a kind person and doesn’t care about those rules. She treats you sincerely, so you don’t have to be afraid! Since Madam invited you guys to eat breakfast together, she doesn’t treat you guys as outsiders.
Help yourselves!”
With that, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran started eating.
They ate rolls as the main dish, but Li Xiaoran asked the chef to make porridge out of habit.
She used her chopsticks to pick up some stir-fried shredded potatoes, bean sprouts, and chives, then wrapped them together. As she ate, she took a sip of porridge. It was delicious..
