If Emperor Lin had only felt a little guilty before, then at this moment, this guilt had expanded infinitely, almost wrapping up his old father's heart.

Xiao Tuanzi was still wiping her tears. Lin Zhanyuan was anxious and sad when he saw his sister crying. He threw the pen and ran over.

He thought it was this stern-looking uncle who made his sister cry fiercely. He was obviously afraid of him, but he still opened his arms and blocked his sister in front of him, plucked up the courage to look at him and said, "No...not bullying my sister!"

He was born fair and handsome, and none of the sons of Emperor Lin did not have such clear and pure eyes.

But at this moment, my eyes were red, like a rabbit at his feet, very aggrieved and sad.

Emperor Lin's fingers were a little stiff. He looked at the two children for a while, sighed and stretched out his palms, landed on his heads, and touched them comfortably: "Okay, two little crybags."

Xiao Lan also came over at this time and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am not instructive."

Emperor Lin turned to look at her, and his tone was rare and solemn: "No, you taught these two children very well."

He held a child with one hand and pulled him to the side of the soft-collapse. He first carried Lin Feilu up, looked at Lin Zhanyuan who was nervous next to him, and then leaned over to carry him to the soft-collapse. He weighed it and smiled: "It's quite heavy."

Xiao Tuanzi lay down to his legs, looked at him with his little head tilted for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Don't Father hate brother?"

Emperor Lin coughed dryly and concealed his guilt: "I am different from others, of course I won't."

Xiao Tuanzi cheered, suddenly came over and hugged his neck, and squirted on his face: "Father is the best person in this world!"

When did Emperor Lin get so close to his children? He was stunned by his daughter, but when he saw Xiao Tuanzi's happy appearance, he smiled again and thought to himself, his daughter is worthy of being a caring little cotton jacket!

He glanced at Xiao Lan next to her, and she seemed to be moved by this scene, with a hint of red at the end of her eyes, a gentle smile on the corners of her lips, and a different style.

Emperor Lin took her hand and sighed: "I have neglected you over the years."

Xiao Lan pursed her lower lips slightly, tears in her eyes, but she didn't hide her true feelings when she looked at him: "I have never blamed Your Majesty." She lowered her eyes and smiled, "And with these two children by my side, I have actually lived a good life over the years."

He was not complaining or jealous, and was generous, and Emperor Lin was very satisfied.

The atmosphere inside the house is much more harmonious than before.

Emperor Lin remembered the four snowmen she had piled up in the plum garden when she first met Xiaowu. Now, looking at the children and wives around him, it was exactly the same as the saying "A family of four is neatly arranged."

He had countless children, but at this moment he seemed to have a first experience, like an ordinary man in the world, and the feeling of becoming a monk. This plain and warm atmosphere was something he could not feel in any other concubine palace.

The emperor always said that he was a lonely person, and only he could understand the meaning of being alone. After sitting in this position for a long time, he would sometimes miss the warmth.

Xiao Lan's tenderness, daughter's intimacy, and son's innocence just made up for his missing emotions.

Emperor Lin had completely forgotten the resistance and hesitation in his heart before coming today, and was immersed in this precious warmth. He had not taught Lin Feilu to play chess for a long time, and at this moment he made people play chessboard two games. He was surprised to find that the little dumpling's chess skills have improved a lot, and the chess path has also had its own style.

What came to his mind and asked Xiao Lan: "I remember your chess skills are good?"

Xiao Lan said: "Your Majesty praised you, but I just learned a little."

Emperor Lin's interest increased greatly: "Come on, kill me."

Lin Feilu gave up his position and sat obediently on the side watching the two of them play chess.

Xiao Lan lived up to the reputation of a talented woman and was proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Xiao Wu really learned the chess path from her, with a hint of tenacity in her softness. She could kill her in a piece of armor without leaving any remaining next step, but she could unexpectedly pull her back.

There were very few concubines in the harem who could play chess with him. There was also a concubine Mei before, and her chess skills were incomparable to Xiao Lan.

But in the end, it was still not as good as him. Xiao Lan could not resist his strong attack and finally lost. Emperor Lin felt that this game was full of joy and said unabashed: "Go another game."

Xiao Lan looked out the sky outside the window and asked softly: "Does Your Majesty stay for dinner?"

Emperor Lin didn't think about it: "Of course."

Xiao Lan said, "Then I'm going to make preparations."

Emperor Lin said: "Just let the imperial kitchen deliver it, you need to do it."

Xiao Lan lowered her eyes and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty hasn't come for a long time, I want to cook myself."

Emperor Lin thought about it, but he didn't object. As soon as he nodded, Lin Feilu crawled over with his hands and feet and said, "It's my turn! Father, it's my turn to get off with you!"

Emperor Lin laughed: "Okay, come on!"

So Xiao Lan went to cook, the father and daughter played chess, and Lin Zhanyuan played with the rabbit in the house.

Emperor Lin didn't know the rabbit, so he glanced at it and smiled, "The boss also raised a rabbit, you brothers have a common hobby."

Lin Feilu said while playing chess: "This is the rabbit of the eldest brother!"

Emperor Lin was a little surprised, but he thought it was given to Lao Liu by Lin Ting, so he didn't ask much.

In the evening, Xiao Lan personally cooked the food on the table. She has been practicing very well over the years, and is not the same as the exquisite dishes of big fish and big meat in the imperial kitchen. It has a warm feeling of home-cooked side dishes, and it can satisfy people like Lin Feilu, who are picky to eat, and the taste is naturally not bad.

She had already learned through her daughter that Emperor Lin didn't like to eat it, and these dishes were made fresh and delicious. Emperor Lin was used to eating the meals in the imperial kitchen, and suddenly changed his taste. After tasting it, he praised it.

After eating, the sky gradually darkened. After talking to them for a while, Emperor Lin walked out of the gate of Mingyue Palace with satisfaction.

Xiao Lan and the two children greeted him at the door. When Emperor Lin's back disappeared at the intersection, Qingyan and Yun You couldn't hide their excitement and whispered in a low voice: "Congratulations!"

Everyone understands this trip today that Xiao Lan is going to regain favor.

But she just smiled indifferently and walked into the house with the hands of the two children.

The next day, the news that Emperor Lin stayed in Mingyue Palace for an afternoon and had dinner spread in the harem. The fifth princess had been favored for a long time, but His Majesty was reluctant to go to Mingyue Palace. Everyone knew that he was concerned about that fool and privately discussed that if there was that fool in one day, His Majesty would not step into Mingyue Palace in one day.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Lin not only slapped them in the face with his own actions, but within two days, he also turned over Xiao Lan's sign.

Once this brand is turned on, the signal of re-election will be obvious.

After hearing about this, Meipin smashed another teacup. But she was still in the confinement period and couldn't even walk a step in the palace gate. Many palace servants in the palace also left, leaving only two or three serving people, and there were not enough people running errands.

Not long ago, my father also sent her a letter saying that she should understand His Majesty's character. Now that she is angry, any movement is unnecessary. Let her stay calm and rest as soon as she finishes the flood. After he gets back from Jiangnan after he gets the flood and has made contributions, he will help her with his family to find a solution.

So no matter how angry or anxious she was, she couldn't do anything now, so she could only hope for Concubine Hui.

But Concubine Hui is cautious and has been standing behind others for many years and never comes forward. She would attack Xiao Lan back then because Xiao Lan was pregnant again. If she gave birth to a prince, it would inevitably affect her status.

Now Xiao Lan has just returned to favor, and with Concubine Hui's personality, she will not be able to move so quickly.

The hostile forces remained unmoved, and neutral people watched the scene. Only the faction of Concubine Xian, who was close to Xiao Lan, came to congratulate him. Xiao Lan did not like interpersonal relationships before, so no one helped him when he was framed. Now it is much smoother than before.

The situation in the previous dynasty has always been closely related to the harem.

For example, after Meipin fell, the status of her mother's sect in the court was greatly reduced, and Emperor Lin also demoted the official of a child of the Liu family because of a trivial matter. The officials who used to love friendship with the Liu family are now not very popular.

The Xiao family also received some benefits because of Xiao Lan's favor, but these benefits disappeared with the loss of favor. The Xiao family had long given up on Xiao Lan in recent years and had sent a cousin who had Xiao Lan into the palace before, trying to regain the favor.

It’s a pity that my cousin is not good at doing well. He has met Emperor Lin no more than three times in the palace for many years. He is a lady, and is not as high as Xiao Lan.

The Xiao family blamed Xiao Lan for this, thinking that Emperor Lin took his anger at the Xiao family's women because of her. Not to mention taking care of him over the years, he had never even sent a letter.

At first, Xiao Lan still cried day and night, feeling that her parents were indifferent. Now her two children are always by her side, so she is excited.

Now that the news of her re-election came out, there was a moment of movement in the Xiao family. In fact, when Lin Feilu went to the palace for vacation with Emperor Lin, the Xiao family was a little ready to move.

After all, the fifth princess is the granddaughter of their Xiao family.

But when he thought that Lin Zhanyuan was still there, His Majesty was moody, and the Fifth Princess didn't know if she could win the favor for a long time, so she temporarily held back.

Until now, I am completely at ease.

So a letter from home was sent to the palace first.

On countless nights of tears, Xiao Lan thought, if only her father and mother could comfort her, she would have told her that you would have us. Even if she was just lying to her.

But there was nothing, outsiders could not avoid her, and their family could not avoid her.

She once asked someone to send a letter to her parents, but only got one sentence: Just pretend that the Xiao family had never raised you as a daughter. If you lose favor, you will not be able to implicate your mother's family anymore.

After the pain for a long time, I became numb.

She gave it to her children without her parents.

Now many years have passed, I suddenly received a letter from my home. Looking at the familiar fonts on the paper and the words containing greetings and concerns, Xiao Lan was not as excited as she imagined.

She read the letter calmly, folded it up, and threw it into the brazier that Lin Feilu used to roast dried flowers.

The Xiao family did not receive a reply from their daughter. A few days later, another letter came in. After so many times, there was no news. Xiao's mother said to Xiao's father worriedly: "I'm afraid Lan'er is still resenting that we have ignored her for years."

Xiao’s father did not hide his anger: “As a child, there is no reason to hold a grudge against his parents! I think this unfilial daughter has been in the palace for too long, and her heart has become harder!”

Xiao's mother thought for a while and said, "Next month is Xiao Wu's birthday. We will go to the palace to have a banquet. When we see Lan'er, let's talk to her in detail. This child has been soft-hearted, and now she is angry. When she sees us, she will never turn a blind eye."

The breath of spring starts from shallow to thick, and from thick to shallow.

When the leaves were green in late spring, Lin Feilu's sixth birthday finally arrived.

Emperor Lin ordered a large-scale arrangement, so naturally the palace did not dare to neglect it. It was held entirely according to the standards of the state banquet. All the royal relatives were invited and presented gifts.

Not only that, Emperor Lin also personally sent a letter to the Empress Dowager who was practicing Buddhism in Mount Wutai. The letter stated that it was Xiao Wu's birthday and that you have been away from the palace for more than a year, so it was time to come back and take a look.

The Empress Dowager worshiped Buddha in her later years and moved to Mount Wutai forever many years ago.

As the last palace fighting champion, she was very upset when she saw her son’s harem fighting openly and secretly. She was old and didn’t want to participate in these things anymore. Since she left the palace, she has not encountered any major events and she will basically come back once every one or two years.

Looking at her son's earnest letter, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but start to wonder if she was old and had a poor memory?

Who is Xiao Wu?

The last time she returned to the palace, she didn't hear that there was such a person?

It’s not a fault for the Queen Mother.

There are many princes and princesses in the palace, and she does not worry about the emperor's offspring at all and rarely asks about it. She rarely returns to the palace, so she doesn't know that it is normal for a princess who is not favored to be a noble life.
