Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1542 Why bother saying thank you?
The wind and snow gradually subsided, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. If you step on it, it can sink as deep as your knees.

Lan Lingling carried the food box onto the sedan chair and took the sedan directly into the Zichen Palace of Emperor Yuanwu.

When Emperor Yuanwu saw her, he immediately put down the official duties at hand, stood up and came to meet her, taking the cold cloak from her.

Lan Lingling put the food box on the table: "Auntie Huang made some food for us and asked me to bring it to eat with you."

Emperor Yuanwu untied the cotton-padded jacket wrapped around the food box and opened the lid of the food box. The food inside was still hot and fragrant. The smell made people move their index fingers.

He arranged the food himself and helped Lan Lingling sit down: "Eat first, and I will take you somewhere after dinner."

Lan Lingling obviously didn't have much interest and had not yet recovered from today's blow.

When she raised her eyes, a bowl of rice was handed to her hand: "Eat first."

Lan Lingling nodded slightly, took the chopsticks and pulled the rice into her mouth. She didn't even seem to notice that her favorite dish was on the table.

Emperor Yuanwu put vegetables into her bowl from time to time to ensure that every bite of rice she ate was mixed with the right amount of vegetables.

After she finished her bowl of rice, Emperor Yuanwu moved his chopsticks, but by then the food was almost cold.

Lan Lingling was stunned, and then started to put the vegetables in the bowl into the bowl, and then put them into her mouth.

She couldn't taste anything about her favorite dish in the past, until the dish stuck in her throat and she vomited it out.

Emperor Yuanwu didn't care about eating, so he quickly picked it up on a plate.

Lan Lingling didn't know whether she was crying or choking, tears rolled down her eyes.

Emperor Yuanwu gave Eunuch Lu a wink, and Eunuch Lu immediately came over to take care of it.

When Lan Lingling saw Eunuch Lu preparing to clean up the leftover food, she quickly said to stop: "Don't carry it down yet, I'm not full yet."

Emperor Yuanwu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and she quickly explained: "I'm fine. It's just that the food cooked by the emperor was so delicious that I couldn't help it."

Emperor Yuanwu didn't say anything, but pushed the plate in front of her: "Eat slowly, I'll ask Lu Xing to cook you a bowl of hawthorn water for digestion. After eating, drinking the hawthorn water will make your stomach less uncomfortable."

Lan Lingling just nodded and continued to shovel the food in the bowl into her mouth.

Not even halfway through, she was choked and coughed again and again.

Emperor Yuanwu obeyed and handed over tea and water. When Lan Lingling's red face slowly returned to normal, he said, "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

Lan Lingling's nose became sore and tears rolled down her face.

She cried and said, "I don't want to waste Auntie Huang's heart."

Emperor Yuanwu told her: "The reason why Auntie Huang cooks with a big belly is to make you happy, not to make you finish all the food she cooked." Lan Lingling sobbed and choked: "I'm fine, give me some With time, I can adjust.”

Emperor Yuanwu took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand, winked, and asked Eunuch Lu to take it down.

After the table was cleared, Emperor Yuanwu gently wiped the corners of her mouth: "In front of me, there is no need for you to show off. Whether you cry or laugh, to me, it's all you."

Although Lan Lingling couldn't stop crying, at least she was no longer as excited as she was just now.

She sniffed: "There is nothing else, I just can't accept it. I have always regarded Master as my reborn parent, but the truth is that they killed my parents and then took me away from my parents."

Emperor Yuanwu said nothing, but stood up and silently took her into his arms.

Lan Lingling leaned on Emperor Yuanwu's chest for a long time before she let out a long sigh of relief: "Everything will be fine."

Then, she told Emperor Yuanwu: "I didn't have the impulse to kill a few of them for revenge. I knew it wasn't the right time yet. Do you think my parents' spirits in heaven would blame me for being unfilial?"

Emperor Yuanwu shook his head: "No, I think they would rather you live happily than take revenge."

Lan Lingling sniffed: "I know, so I don't regard revenge as a long-cherished wish that must be fulfilled in this life."

"Southern Xinjiang is different from Great Qin. In Great Qin, parents have sworn hatred, but in Southern Xinjiang, because of the small number of people, we have been taught since childhood not to lose our lives for revenge."

"So I know that my father and mother-in-law also hope that I can let go of everything and live happily."

"But I know that I can't let go. The letting go now is only temporary, until the time comes when I can avenge my parents."

"I just discussed it with Yu'er. I told her that she doesn't have to worry about me how she wants to deal with the elders."

Emperor Yuanwu patted her back gently to comfort her: "I know what you are thinking, and I also understand your contradictions and sadness at this time."

"As long as it makes you happy, I don't have any problem with whatever you plan to do with them."

"What I want you to know is that you are my wife, not my appendage. I will respect your ideas instead of asking you to obey me. Everything is based on me."

"If what you want to do conflicts with national affairs, what I should do is find a way to find a balance instead of sacrificing you to maintain peace."

Lan Lingling nodded slowly and said sincerely: "Thank you!"

Emperor Yuanwu raised the corners of his lips: "Between you and me, why do we need to say thank you?"

Lan Lingling asked him: "You said you wanted to take me somewhere, where?"
