Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's rare courtesy and concern, Lan Yu felt uneasy and felt extremely awkward.

"What's wrong with Lan Qing? Why do you look so tired?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed something was wrong with Lan Yu and asked suspiciously.

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm fine with you. I just didn't expect that Your Majesty would personally receive me on the New Year's Day. I'm a little flattered."

Lan Yu shook her head and hurriedly explained.

"Pang Yuhai, give Lan Qing a seat!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, glanced at Pang Yuhai who was standing aside, and said in a deep voice.

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately moved a chair for Lan Yu.

After Lan Yu thanked her, she sat down fearfully.

Since His Majesty gave him a seat, if he kept resisting, he would not appreciate it, so he sat up directly.

"Is it really okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu and asked again.

"Your Majesty, it's really okay."

Lan Yu nodded and replied respectfully.

"Okay, since it's okay, then you must have a few more drinks with me at the New Year's Banquet tonight."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lan Yu nodded and replied respectfully.

"By the way, I am very pleased that you have succeeded in quelling the chaos this time, so I thought about it and decided to reward you with something else."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu, smiled, and said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, serving the imperial court is what a humble minister should do. A humble minister does not want to be rewarded, not to mention that your majesty has already rewarded a humble minister before."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu said respectfully.

When he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, Zhu Yuanzhang had already rewarded people based on their merits, but the rewards were only gold, silver and soft goods.

"Those things don't count. After thinking about it, I have to reward you with something else."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lan Yu said slowly with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but think of what Hu Fei said yesterday about the title, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, stood up slowly, and began to pace.

Lan Yu sat on the chair with his head slightly lowered, not daring to disturb him. However, the longer the time passed, the more nervous he became. The words Yongchang Hou kept appearing in his mind.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lan Yu, with a smile of relief on his lips.

"You put down the rebellion in Xibo and consolidated the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. I have decided to give you the title of Marquis of Yongchang, with a salary of 2,500 dan, and allow you to be hereditary!"

"I hope Lan Qing will continue to move forward bravely and ensure the eternal prosperity of our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu, smiled and said loudly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Lan Yu suddenly stood up from the chair, with a look of horror on his face!

He never expected that Hu Fei would actually be right!

"Don't be so surprised. You deserve this. Don't let me down."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu who was stunned, smiled and said.

He thought Lan Yu was shocked because of his reward, but he didn't know that Hu Fei had anticipated his decision and informed Lan Yu in advance.

"General Lan, why don't you thank me?"

Looking at Lan Yu who was almost stunned to the point of being stunned, Pang Yuhai on the side quickly reminded him softly.

Hearing Pang Yuhai's words, Lan Yu suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness. From now on I will do my best to help Your Majesty rule the world!"

Lan Yu knelt on the ground, held her hands respectfully, and said loudly.

"well!"

"Hahaha, get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu, whose face was full of shock and gratitude, smiled, stroked his beard, and said slowly.

Lan Yu stood up in fear. Her mind was filled with the shadow of Hu Fei who appeared in Lan's house yesterday. The shock in her heart was hard to calm down for a long time.

After a while, Lan Yu finally said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and left the Yangxin Hall.

Looking at Lan Yu's flattered back, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved, feeling that he had successfully appeased Lan Yu.

Lan Yu, who walked out of the Yangxin Hall, was speechless for a long time, and her fear of Hu Fei became even deeper.

He never dreamed that Hu Fei could calculate that His Majesty would grant him the Marquis of Yongchang just by casually speaking. This was simply unbelievable.

Moreover, His Majesty did not mention anything about yesterday's incident, as if nothing happened.

...

East Palace.

apse.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, General Lan is outside asking for an audience."

Xiao Qi quickly walked into the hall and said respectfully.

"Please."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said hurriedly.

After hearing that Lan Yu had been summoned to the palace early in the morning, Zhu Biao had been keeping an eye on the movements in the Yangxin Palace and was ready to go there at any time.

But after he waited for a long time, the Yangxin Hall was very calm, and there was no movement at all. He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful in his heart, but he finally let go of what he had been worrying about.

Soon, Lan Yu walked into the main hall accompanied by Xiao Qi.

"Lanyu, a humble minister, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

Lan Yu walked closer and bowed hurriedly and respectfully.

What happened today was really strange, so after leaving the Yangxin Palace, Lan Yu came directly to the East Palace, intending to tell the prince everything.

"I heard that my father summoned you to the palace early in the morning. Why?"

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu and asked slowly.

"Returning to His Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Majesty thought that Wei Chen had contributed a lot in quelling the rebellion in Xibo, so he summoned Wei Chen to the palace, granted him a title, and promoted him to the title of Marquis of Yongchang."

Lan Yu cupped her hands and replied respectfully.

After Zhu Biao listened, he nodded slowly and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Then it's time for me to congratulate General Lan."

Zhu Biao hesitated and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lan Yu said with cupped hands.

"Except for giving you a title, your father didn't say anything else?"

Zhu Biao thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

"No."

"What His Royal Highness wants to ask is whether His Majesty has questioned what happened outside the palace gate yesterday, right?"

Lan Yu glanced at Zhu Biao and asked hesitantly.

"That's right."

Zhu Biao nodded and did not deny it.

"Back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Majesty did not mention a word about what happened yesterday."

Lan Yu said slowly, her eyebrows filled with solemnity again.

After hearing Lan Yu's answer, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he was full of confusion. According to common sense, even if he didn't punish what happened yesterday, his father would definitely intervene, but unexpectedly he didn't mention it at all.

"Your Highness, there is something very strange. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Lan Yu hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
