Chapter 192 The Emperor, Empress and Crown Prince Visit
Li Youran chose a room that was neither too big nor too small, just right for her to live in.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhiyan, who was beside Li Youran, went to open the door.
"Who is it?" Li Youran sat on the bench in front of the table, looking at the teacups and teapots on the table.
"I am the manager of the Princess's Mansion. I arrange all matters, big or small. My name is Zhou Qin, you can just call me Uncle Zhou. I'm honored to meet Princess Ruixiang..." Zhou Qin introduced himself and knelt on the ground.
"Please get up quickly. Uncle Zhou, what's the matter?" Li Youran turned around and saw an old man who was older than his father kneeling on the ground.
"I'm here to ask the princess what she likes to eat so that the kitchen can prepare it!" Zhou Qin stood up and explained his purpose.
"Anything is fine. We come from the countryside and are not picky about food!" Li Youran said with a smile. Uncle Zhou in front of him had kind eyes and looked amiable.
"Then I will arrange for the kitchen to cook some of the most famous dishes in Beijing." After Zhou Qin finished speaking, he was about to leave and nodded politely to Li Youran.
When we arrived at the dining room, we saw the table filled with all kinds of delicious food, many of which we had never seen before. There were about twenty dishes in total.
Ye and Li's father were led to dinner by the maids, and even Li Yuanbo, Li Kangze, and Li Heming were led to dinner.
Old man Li and old lady Cheng were the last to arrive. They were dazzled by the dazzling array of dishes.
Li Youran climbed onto the chair happily and sat upright.
On the table there are mandarin duck jade chicken, duck tongue with hundreds of flowers, crystal pork elbow, almond tofu, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, etc.
Every dish looks and tastes delicious.
"Princess, our chef is the imperial chef bestowed by the emperor. These are dishes from the capital..." a maid beside her introduced, describing the taste of each dish.
People who listen to it are so greedy.
"The dishes cooked by the imperial chef in this palace must be delicious!" Li Heming exclaimed.
After everyone in the family is seated, start eating.
Li Youran ate two small bowls of rice until his stomach was full. After eating, he went back to his room to take a nap.
...in the palace.
The emperor heard from the eunuch that Princess Ruixiang and her family had arrived in the capital and settled down in the princess's mansion.
"I haven't seen the little girl yet. I'll go out and take a look tomorrow!" The emperor was particularly curious about the little girl's appearance.
“By the way, bring the Queen with you and tell her!” The Emperor almost forgot something and gave the order.
Song Nanyao also learned the news and asked people to prepare gifts. He hadn't seen Xiao Raner for a long time and they had only communicated through letters.
A carriage full of gold, silver, jewels, and some accessories were prepared because Xiao Raner liked silver.
When Song Nanyao entered the Princess's Mansion, he learned that Li Youran was taking a nap, so he had to deliver the things and left, planning to come back the next day.
It was late in the evening when Li Youran slowly woke up. His back and waist ached from sleeping in the carriage these days, although sometimes he would sleep in his space.
Li Youran got out of bed, stretched, twisted her neck, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhiyan standing outside.
"Zhi Yan, what time is it now?" Li Youran looked at the sky outside.
"Miss, it's already the evening hour. Are you hungry? Do you need me to bring you some food?" Zhiyan answered, looking at Li Youran who had just woken up, worried that she was hungry.
"I'm not hungry. Have my parents eaten?" Li Youran felt that his stomach was still full.
"I've already eaten. I didn't disturb you because you were sleeping soundly."
"Oh, Miss, the Crown Prince came this afternoon and brought a carriage full of gold, silver and jewelry. He said Miss liked them."
Zhiyan quickly told Li Youran that the prince had come.
Li Youran’s eyes suddenly lit up. It was jewelry!
"Let's go and see it tomorrow!"
In the early morning, birds were chirping on the branches. Li Youran spent the whole night in the space, chatting with Yumian and others. When she was tired, she lay on the massage chair and fell asleep. She felt so comfortable.
After breakfast, guests arrived soon after. They were the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince.
The three of them were wearing casual clothes. The emperor was accompanied by Eunuch Qin, the queen was accompanied by Huaiyu, and the prince was accompanied by the guard Yanfeng.
In this way, he entered the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
When Li Youran came to the main hall to greet him, she wondered who it was! Seeing Song Nanyao in casual clothes, she was surprised.
"Brother Nanyao, you're here! Ran'er missed you so much!" Li Youran said as she rushed forward and threw herself into Song Nanyao's arms.
Song Nanyao looked down at the little girl. She had grown taller, but was still chubby.
"I miss Xiaoran too! How have you been recently? Are you used to staying in Beijing?" Song Nanyao touched Li Youran's head.
"Not bad, the food here is very tempting!" Li Youran felt a little greedy when he thought of those delicious foods.
"Who are these two?" Li Youran felt two pairs of eyes staring at her. She turned her head in confusion and then noticed them.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty…" Li Heming had already seen the Emperor and the Empress a long time ago, so he was not unfamiliar with them because he had gone to the palace early in the morning.
The person next to the emperor should be the queen!
"Get up!" The emperor walked forward and helped Li Heming up.
The Li family members then realized that the people in front of them were the emperor and the empress, and they all knelt down and kowtowed nervously.
Li Youran also reacted and knelt on the ground with her small body.
The emperor said gently, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.
The emperor's usually majestic face now had a kind smile on it, making people feel friendly.
Li Youran blinked her big eyes and looked at the two people in front of her curiously.
Wow, this emperor has such a good temperament! He looks very safe and has a good appearance too.
Look at the queen next to her. She is dignified and graceful, and her every move reveals an elegant upbringing. You can tell at first glance that she is a lady from a noble family and is very beautiful.
It turns out that Brother Nan Yao is so handsome, it turns out he inherited good genes from his parents!
The queen squatted down and carefully looked at the cute little girl in front of her, her eyes full of love and gratitude: "You are the girl who saved Yao'er! You are so cute, thank you for saving him!" She gently stroked Li Youran's hair, her tone soft and kind.
Li Youran blinked her big eyes and answered obediently, "You're welcome, Queen. This is my due."
Then, as if she had thought of something, a brilliant smile blossomed on her face, and she continued, "The Queen is a beauty as beautiful as a country, stunning the whole city, so beautiful that she could make fish sink to the bottom of their chests, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers... Her appearance amazed Ran'er. Anyone who saw her would like the Queen!"
She hurled a stream of compliments at once, using all the nice words she could think of.
Queen Liu laughed so hard at Li Youran's words that she almost lost her composure even though she had always been very careful about her image.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this child's way of speaking was so pleasing that people couldn't help but want to get close to him.
“Don’t call me Empress Your Majesty, just call me Aunt Yan!” The Queen felt that calling her Empress Your Majesty all the time seemed a bit strange.
She spoke to Li Youran with a smile, her eyes revealing a kind of kindness and warmth.
"Okay, Aunt Yan." Li Youran smiled sweetly, revealing two cute little canine teeth.
Her voice is clear and melodious, like the sound of nature, which makes people feel happy.
