Not long after, Ming Xi came to find Yan Xiaoliu. Ye Zhen did not stay to eat with Ming Yu and the others. If she stayed, Yan Xiaoliu would not dare to sit down and eat.
Back at the Yong Shou Palace, Mo Rongzhan was about to come out to find her.
"Have you had lunch?" Mo Rongzhan looked down at Ye Zhen who walked in front of him. Coming back so early, she should not have eaten yet.
"No." Ye Zhen reached out and took his arm. "Ming Xi and the others are having lunch at Ming Yu's place, so I came back to accompany you."
Mo Rongzhan laughed. "Ming Yu pestered Yan Xiaoliu to go riding again?"
"So you know." Ye Zhen glared at him. "It's all because you indulged your daughter before. She is getting wilder and wilder now."
"Yes, I don't know who she resembles. I was not like this when I was a child." Mo Rongzhan sighed. A crying child has milk. This sentence was not suitable for him. When he was a child, no one could act coquettishly. No matter what he wanted, he could only fight for it himself.
Listening to his words, he meant that his daughter was like her.
Ye Zhen scratched his palm. "Was I wild when I was a child?"
"I remember father-in-law said that you pestered him when you were a child, asking him to take you outside." Mo Rongzhan whispered in her ear.
"Why don't I remember?" Ye Zhen snorted. Anyway, it was all in the past.
Mo Rongzhan just looked at her with a shallow smile.
Ye Zhen blushed at his smile and shook off his hand angrily. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm not laughing at Yao Yao. I just think it's fortunate to have father-in-law to raise you so well." She was a delicate girl who was raised in the palm of his hand, but she was kind and strong, different from ordinary noble ladies. Every time Mo Rongzhan thought that he could have such a beautiful girl, he felt that it was God's compensation for him.
"By the way, do you know that Yan Xiaoliu has recovered his memory?" When the two entered the bedroom, she leaned down on the soft couch and looked at Mo Rongzhan with her apricot eyes.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly. "I just learned about it recently. What's wrong?"
Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried about him staying with Ming Xi?"
"Yan Xiaoliu is very loyal to Ming Xi and Ming Yu, and in the future, he might need to rely on Ming Xi to take revenge. His talent is very good, there is no harm in becoming Ming Xi's right-hand man." Mo Rongzhan did not mind Yan Xiaoliu's background, as long as he was loyal to Ming Xi, it was fine.
Well, it seemed like he was very optimistic about Yan Xiaoliu.
"Are you worried that he will harm Mingxi?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"There's no such worry. I'm just afraid that his heart will not settle down and only think about revenge." Ye Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan laughed, "Don't underestimate Yan Xiaoliu, he knows what is most important to him."
"You make it sound like you know him very well." Ye Rou snorted.
"We have taught him martial arts for half a year. If we still don't know what kind of person he is, then we are not worthy of you." Mo Rongzhan bent down and kissed her cheek, "Accompany us to eat."
When Ye Zhen heard Mo Rongzhan's words, she put down the matter of Yan Xiaoliu. The next day, after Mo Rongzhan went to the court, she left the palace for the Lu family.
Lu Lingzhi's marriage was set in February after the beginning of spring. Pei Shi had been busy with the wedding recently and had no time to enter the palace.
Hearing that the Empress had arrived, Pei Shi hurriedly put down the work at hand and came out to greet her in person.
"Mother, you have been very busy recently. You have lost weight." Seeing Pei Shi lose some weight, Ye Zhen was distressed. "If you are too busy, let someone else do it. Or, I will give you two experienced nannies?"
"No, no, I look better when I lose a little weight. I am in good spirits recently, and I am happy doing things." Pei Shi took Ye Zhen's hand into the backyard.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Eldest brother is getting married, of course you are happy."
"I don't know how many years I have been looking forward to this thing. It would be better if I could hold a grandson as soon as possible." Pei Shi smiled so widely that only her teeth could be seen.
"It's almost New Year. When will eldest brother come back?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I'm afraid it will take a few more days." Pei Shi said, and the two entered the door of the garden together.
Ye Zhen was about to speak when she saw a pretty figure coming in a hurry, standing in front of her and Pei Shi. A pair of almond-shaped eyes looked at her timidly.
"This commoner girl … greets the Empress." Lu Yun 'er held her breath and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
"Get up." Ye Zhen did not recognize who she was and looked at Pei Shi doubtfully.
Pei Shi smiled, "You didn't recognize her, did you? She is Little Fifth Yun 'er, Zan Zhi's sister."
The Fifth Young Lady of the Lu family! Ye Zhen heard from Lu Shiming that when he and Lu Xiangzhi were not in the capital, Pei Shi's life was not very happy every day. Later, she met the daughter of the second branch on the street and took her back. She also hired a teacher to teach her her lessons, saying that Pei Shi's character was upright and kind, very different from the second wife of the Lu family.
"Fifth sister has grown up so much." Ye Zhen looked at Lu Yun 'er softly and found that she did not look like Lu's second wife or Lu Shixun. Instead, she looked a bit like Old Madam Lu. "This Empress can't recognize you anymore."
Lu Yun 'er said shyly, "This commoner girl only saw Empress twice at that time. Empress is much more beautiful than before. I almost couldn't recognize you as this commoner girl's third sister."
Ye Zhen thought of Pei Shi's lonely days with such a little girl accompanying her in the past few years, and she had a good impression of her. "I heard that you are studying at a women's college?"
"Yes, but Third Aunt also hired a teacher to teach me how to play the piano." Lu Yun 'er looked at Pei Shi gratefully.
"Yun 'er's talent is very good." Pei Shi said with a smile.
Ye Zhen smiled, "Then can Yun 'er enter the palace to relieve this Empress's boredom in the future?"
Lu Yun 'er looked at Ye Zhen nervously. She knew that her parents had offended the third branch before, but she was grateful to Third Aunt for forgiving them and treating her well. The only thing she was afraid of was that the empress would not forgive them. She was afraid that she would be unhappy with her. She did not expect her to be so gentle.
Pei Shi didn't know what to say. She glanced at Lu Yun 'er and whispered to Ye Zhen, "Yao Yao, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Mister Shan is back. I didn't know it until you came back. He is now Yun' er's teacher."
Mister Shan is back? Ye Zhen froze for a moment and looked at Pei Shi in surprise. "Is Mister Shan in the capital?"
"Yes, he will come to teach Yun 'er today. Do you want to see him?" Pei Shi asked. She didn't know why Mister Shan left without saying goodbye, but Yao Yao should know better than her.
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. Mister Shan valued her so much. He didn't know her identity as Ye Zhen and only regarded her as Lu Yaoyao. If he knew that she married Mo Rongzhan, he would feel indignant for Ye Zhen and may not be willing to see her.
"Wait until he comes. I'm afraid he won't want to see me." Ye Zhen whispered.
Lu Yun 'er lowered her head, a little puzzled. Why would Mister Shan be unwilling to see the empress?
