Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1534 Gifts and Dowry

When Lu Mingyu woke up, it was almost noon.

She originally wanted to go into the palace to find Lan Lingling, but as soon as she came out of the inner room, she saw the Lan Lingling cat eating roasted sweet potatoes in the outer room.

Lan Lingling seemed to be very afraid of the cold, so there were several small braziers next to her, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly.

Seeing her coming out, Lan Lingling quickly put down the food in her hands, wiped her mouth, and then came up to her with a smile: "Yu'er!"

Lu Mingyu pulled her to look left and right, and asked her with a smile: "Are you okay?"

Lan Lingling picked up her sleeves and then stretched out her hand: "I'm fine. If you don't believe me, take a look."

Lu Mingyu didn't really check her pulse, but helped her sit down: "I feel relieved when I see you like this."

Lan Lingling nodded seriously: "It's because I'm very good, so I came back to see you and let you know that I'm really very good."

Lu Mingyu smiled broadly: "After all the hard work, the joy comes, I'm happy for you."

Lan Lingling was busy talking to Lu Mingyu. She didn't even glance at the food on the table: "Thanks to your help, otherwise Ace and I wouldn't be able to survive. You are our benefactor."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said: "Why are you saying this? You have helped me and Zhaohua, so we are mutual. No one owes anyone, and no one has given anyone a huge favor."

Lan Lingling blushed and whispered into her ear: "Ace and I are already married. Although we don't have three matchmakers and six betrothals, we are sincere."

When Lu Mingyu heard this, she didn't react much because she already knew about it.

But she still smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations."

As she said that, she glanced at Lu Yi.

Then Lu Yi took out a box.

Lu Mingyu handed the box to Lan Lingling: "This is the gift I prepared for you."

Lan Lingling opened it curiously, only to see a few drops of delicate pigeon blood inside. She didn't seem to understand what it was, she just said: "Ah, the red stone is so beautiful."

Lu Yi explained softly: "Girl, these are the raw rubies from Xirong. The empress specially left them for you. You can take these gems to Debao Zhai and ask the master to make a phoenix crown for you, and wear it on your head when you get married. Go up, there must be no need for the imperial bureau’s work in the palace.”

Lan Lingling suddenly realized: "The ruby ​​inlaid on the phoenix crown looked like this before it was carved?"

Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, it looked like this before it was carved. These rough stones are of rare and good quality. Use them to make a phoenix crown. This phoenix crown will definitely be no worse than the empress's."

Lan Lingling understood what Lu Mingyu meant.

Judging from the current situation, if Ace insists on making her his queen, he is afraid that the courtiers will not be able to overcome it.

But even if they couldn't tell the world about their marriage, and couldn't sit in that position openly and openly, in Lu Mingyu's heart, she was the wife that A Ce Ming was marrying.

Lu Yi continued: "In addition, the empress has also prepared a dowry for you. She will send you off to get married in a graceful way. This is your natal home."

Lan Lingling's nose felt sore, and she held Lu Mingyu's hand, tears falling down.

She was moved and called out: "Yu'er..."

Lu Mingyu patted her hand: "For me, this is just a piece of cake, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lan Lingling choked up and said, "But this is different for me. I have no parents, no relatives, and only a master who cares about me." "But after meeting you, I have friends, a family, and A partner you can care about, this is different, different."

Lu Mingyu handed over the sweet potatoes on the small table: "Look, the food is cold, are you willing to leave it?"

Lan Lingling wiped her tears casually, but was not in a hurry to eat: "Yu'er, I don't know how to thank you."

Lu Mingyu told her: "Don't worry, I just did what a friend should do. We have been together through life and death and relied on each other. No amount of gold and silver can buy this friendship."

Lan Lingling was silent for a long time, and her eyes turned red again: "No one is optimistic about the matter between A Ce and I, and no one wants us to be together."

"Only you understand us from beginning to end, tolerate us, and don't restrict us with rules and etiquette."

"Although I showed that I didn't care, in fact I cared a lot, and I also couldn't figure out why I was with A Ce. It seemed like I had made a big mistake that was not allowed by nature."

"But your understanding makes me understand that what is wrong is not us, nor is this unknowing relationship wrong. What is wrong is just our union, which is not in the interests of more people."

"When Ace and I were going through life and death, it was you who helped us get through this difficult time. I will keep this feeling in my heart."

Lu Mingyu wiped away the tears from her eyes: "No matter what, as long as the result is good, that's enough."

Lan Lingling burst into tears and smiled: "Yes, as long as the result is good, that is enough."

Lu Mingyu looked at her with a smile: "Besides, your Qin Yu has improved a lot and you can speak it well."

Lan Lingling sniffed: "Of course, A Ce also praised me."

Lu Mingyu originally wanted to mention the affairs of several elders, but as soon as she did this, she gave up the idea of ​​asking Lan Lingling for help.

If it turns out that it is Lan Lingling's master, it will make Lan Lingling very embarrassed.

Secondly, she simply wanted to be nice to Lan Lingling, but now it was somewhat inappropriate to ask Lan Lingling for help, so she decided to find another way to prevent Lan Lingling from getting involved in this matter.

After making a decision in her mind, she focused the topic on Lan Lingling's recent events: "Are you happy now?"

Lan Lingling nodded vigorously: "Of course I'm happy! I've always wanted to be like you, with a son and a daughter, and a husband who knows both coldness and warmth."

As she spoke, she touched her belly and said, "Perhaps before long, I will be pregnant with Ace's child, and I will be a mother by then."

"Yu'er, do you know why I want to be a mother so much? Because I don't have any relatives. When I become a mother, I will have blood relatives."

"When I look around, I will no longer be alone. I am not afraid of deep mountains and forests, nor are I afraid of gloomy and scary places. What I am afraid of is loneliness."

"That feeling of no one caring about you when you're hungry, no one hurting you when you're cold, and only one person listening to the sound of thunder and rain when it thunders and rains. There's always only one person. I don't want to forget that anymore."

Lu Mingyu held her hand distressedly.

Although she had experienced the bitterness and pain of being displaced in the past few years, at least she still had her mother by her side, Xiao Qian, and her grandfather.

But Miss Lingling is alone.

She had never been to southern Xinjiang. Living alone in that wild forest, she could imagine the hardship and loneliness.

Finally, she asked: "I have never asked you carefully about your parents and relatives. They..."
