If Lin Di had only a trace of guilt before, then at this moment, this trace of guilt has expanded infinitely, almost wrapping his old father's heart.

The little dumpling was still wiping away tears. Lin Zhanyuan was anxious and sad when he saw his sister crying, and threw the pen and ran over.

He thought it was this stern-looking uncle who made his sister cry, and he was obviously afraid of him, but he still put his arms in front of his sister, summoned up the courage to look at him and said, "No... don't bully my sister!"

He was born fair and handsome. Among all the sons of Emperor Lin, none of them had such clear and pure eyes.

It's just that the eyes are red at the moment, like the rabbit at his feet, very aggrieved and sad.

Lin Di's fingers were a little stiff, he looked at the two children for a long time, then sighed and stretched out his palms, landing on the heads of his own pair of children, and touched them soothingly: "Okay, two little crying bags."

Xiao Lan also came over at this time, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who has failed to teach."

Lin Di turned to look at her with a rare solemn tone: "No, you taught these two children very well."

He picked up a child with one hand, pulled it to the side of the soft collapse, first carried Lin Feilu up, looked at the nervous Lin Zhanyuan beside him, and leaned over to hug him to the soft collapse. After weighing it, he smiled: "It's quite heavy."

The little dumpling lay beside his lap, raised his head and looked at him for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Don't the emperor hate my brother?" Lin Di coughed dryly to hide his guilty conscience: "I am different from others, of course not."

The little dumpling cheered, and suddenly came over and put his arms around his neck, and slapped his face: "Royal father is the best and best person in this world!"

When did Emperor Lin get so close to his children, he was stunned by his daughter's kiss, but when he saw the happy appearance of the little dumpling, he laughed again, thinking to himself, her daughter is indeed a caring little padded jacket!

He glanced at Xiao Lan next to him, she seemed to be moved by this scene, her eyes were dyed with a hint of red, but the smile on her lips was gentle, with a different kind of style.

Lin Di took her hand and let out a long sigh, "I have neglected you over the years."

Xiao Lan pursed her lower lip slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she did not hide her sincerity when she looked at him: "My concubine has never blamed Your Majesty." She lowered her eyes and smiled, "And with these two children by my side, my concubine is by my side. It's been a really good few years."

No resentment or jealousy, and generous, Lin Di was very satisfied.

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

Lin Di thought about the four snowmen she built in the plum garden when she first met Xiao Wu. At this moment, I look at the children and wife around me, and it is exactly the sentence "Family of four neat and tidy". He has countless children, but at this moment, it seems like the first time, like an ordinary man in this world, he feels at home. This kind of bland and warm atmosphere was something he couldn't feel in any other concubines' palaces.

The emperor always said that he was alone and widowed, and the meaning of loneliness, only he could understand. Sitting in this position for a long time will sometimes miss the warmth.

Xiao Lan's tenderness, her daughter's intimacy, and her son's innocence just made up for his lack of emotion.

Lin Di has completely forgotten the resistance and hesitation in his heart before he came today, and is immersed in this precious warmth. He hadn't taught Lin Feilu how to play chess for a long time. At this moment, a chessboard was set up to play two games. He was surprised to find that the chess skills of this little group had improved a lot, and the chess game also had its own style.

What did he think of and asked Xiao Lan: "I remember your chess skills are good?"

Xiao Lan said: "Your Majesty is wrong, but I just learned a little bit."

Lin Di's interest greatly increased: "Come on, let's kill a game with me."

Lin Feilu gave up his seat and sat obediently on the sidelines to watch the game between the two.

Xiao Lan lives up to her reputation as a talented girl, and is proficient in everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Xiao Wu's chess game was really learned from her, and there was a hint of tenacity in the softness. She could kill her without leaving a piece of armor, but she could pull back a piece unexpectedly in the next step.

Among the concubines and concubines in the harem, there were very few people who could play against him. There was a concubine Mei in the past, and her chess skills were not comparable to Xiao Lan.

But in the end, it was still not as good as him. Under his fierce attack, Xiao Lan's flexibility couldn't hold back, and he finally lost. Lin Di only felt that this game was hearty, and he said with undiminished interest: "Another game."

Xiao Lan glanced at the sky outside the window and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty want to stay for dinner?"

Lin Di didn't even think about it: "Naturally."

Xiao Lan said: "Then the concubine is going to prepare."

Emperor Lin said, "Let the imperial kitchen deliver it, so you don't need to do it."

Xiao Lan lowered her eyes and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty won't be here for a long time, concubine wants to cook by herself."

Emperor Lin thought for a while, but he didn't object. As soon as he nodded, Lin Feilu crawled over with his hands and feet: "It's me, it's me! Father, it's me and you!"

Lin Di laughed: "Okay, come!"

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

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

Lin Feilu said while playing chess, "This is the first emperor's rabbit!"

Lin Di was a little surprised, but he just thought it was given to the sixth by Lin Ting, but he didn't ask much.

In the evening, Xiao Lan personally cooked the food and brought it to the table. She has practiced her cooking skills very well over the years. She is not in the same style as the exquisite dishes of the imperial kitchen. She has a warm feeling of home-cooked dishes, and can satisfy picky eaters like Lin Feilu, and the taste is naturally not bad.

She had already learned through her daughter that Emperor Lin did not like to be tired of eating, and these dishes were fresh and delicious. Emperor Lin was used to eating the meals in the imperial kitchen, and suddenly changed his taste. After tasting it, he was full of praise.

After finishing the meal, the sky gradually darkened, and after talking to them for a while, Emperor Lin walked out of the gate of the Ming Palace with satisfaction.

Xiao Lan and the two children greeted him away at the door, and when Emperor Lin disappeared at the intersection, Qing Yan and Yun You couldn't hide their excitement and whispered, "Congratulations to Empress!"

Today's trip, everyone understands that Xiao Lan is going to regain his favor.

She just smiled lightly, and took the two children's hands and walked into the house.

The next day, the news that Emperor Lin stayed in the Ming Palace for an afternoon and ate dinner spread in the harem. The fifth princess has been favored for a long time, but His Majesty is reluctant to go to the Ming Palace. Everyone knows that he cares about that fool. He even talked in private that it is estimated that if the fool is around, His Majesty will not step into the Ming Palace for a day. .

Unexpectedly, Lin Di not only slapped them in the face, but also flipped Xiao Lan's brand within two days.

Once the brand is overturned, the signal of re-petition is obvious. After hearing about this, Concubine Mei smashed another set of teacups. But she is still in the period of confinement, and she can't even walk half a step out of the palace gate. The palace servants in the palace also left a lot, leaving only two or three to serve, and there are not enough people to run errands.

Not long ago, her father also sent a letter to her, saying that she should understand His Majesty's character. Now that she is angry, any action is superfluous, so she must be calm and rest her body first. When he comes back from Jiangnan after treating the flood, and has merit, he will help her find a way with his family.

So no matter how angry she is, she can't do anything now, she can only pin her hopes on Concubine Hui.

But Concubine Hui was cautious, and for many years she stood behind others and never came forward herself. Back then, he would do something to Xiao Lan because Xiao Lan's holy pet was pregnant and pregnant. If he gave birth to a prince, it would definitely affect his status.

Now Xiao Lan has just regained her favor, and with Concubine Hui's character, she won't move so quickly.

The hostile forces did not move, and the neutrals stood on the sidelines. Only Concubine Xian, who had befriended Xiao Lan, came to congratulate her. Xiao Lan didn't like interpersonal relationships before, so when he was framed, no one helped, but now he is much smoother than before.

The situation of the former dynasty has always been closely related to the situation of the harem.

For example, after the fall of Concubine Mei, the status of her mother's faction in the court was reduced a lot, and Emperor Lin also demoted a child of the Liu family as an official because of a trivial matter. The court officials who used to love to befriend the Liu family don't come to the door much now.

The Xiao family gained favor because of Xiao Lan back then, and they also received some benefits, but these benefits disappeared when they fell out of favor. The Xiao family had given up on Xiao Lan all these years, and had sent a cousin of Xiao Lan into the palace before, in an attempt to regain holy favor.

It's a pity that my cousin is not up to the mark. I have seen Emperor Lin no more than three times in the palace for many years. She is a lady, not as high as Xiao Lan.

The Xiao family also blamed Xiao Lan for this, and felt that it was because of her that Emperor Lin angered the Xiao family's daughter.

Xiao Lan cried day and night at first, feeling that her parents were unkind, but now that the two children are always by their side, she thinks about it.

Now, as soon as the news of her return to favor came out, there was an immediate movement from the Xiao family. In fact, as early as 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.

Just thinking that there is still that fool Lin Zhanyuan, His Majesty is moody, and the fifth princess does not know whether he will be favored for a long time, so he temporarily suppressed it.

Until now, it has been completely reassuring.

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

There were countless tears in the night, Xiao Lan was thinking, if only my father and mother could comfort her, and tell her, you and us would be good. Even if it's just to lie to her.

But there was nothing, outsiders couldn't avoid her, and her family couldn't avoid her.

She once asked someone to send letters to her parents, but she only got one sentence, pretending that the Xiao family never raised your daughter. It's okay if you fall out of favor yourself, don't let your mother's family be implicated again.

Pain for a long time, it is also numb.

What her parents didn't give her, she gave it all to her children.

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

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

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

Father Xiao did not hide his anger: "As a child, there is no reason to hate your parents! I think this unfilial daughter has been in the palace for too long, and her heart has also hardened!"

Mother Xiao thought for a while and said, "Next month will be Xiao Wu's birthday, then we will go to the palace for a banquet, and we will talk to her face-to-face when we see Lan'er. This child has always been soft, but she is angry now, and she will wait until she sees us. , it is not impossible to turn a blind eye.”

The breath of spring is from light to strong, and from strong to light.

When the leaves were green in late spring, Lin Feilu's six-year-old birthday finally arrived.

Emperor Lin ordered a lot of arrangements, and the palace naturally did not dare to neglect it. It was completely organized according to the standard of a state banquet. The royal family and relatives were all invited and prepared gifts.

Not only that, but Emperor Lin also personally sent a letter to the queen mother who was cultivating Buddhism in Wutai Mountain. The letter stated that it was the birthday of Xiao Wu, and you have been away from the palace for more than a year. It is time to come back and have a look.

The Empress Dowager worshipped Buddha in her later years, for many years

I moved to Mount Wutai before and lived there.

As the last palace fighting champion, she was very upset watching her son's harem fighting openly and secretly. Everyone was old and didn't want to participate in these anymore. Since leaving the palace, she has not encountered any major events, and only comes back once a year or two.

Looking at her son's earnest letter, the queen mother couldn't help but wonder if she was old and had a bad memory?

Who is Xiao Wu?

When she returned to the palace last time, she never heard of such a person?

Don't blame the queen mother.

There are many princes and princesses in the palace, and she doesn't care about the emperor's heirs at all, and rarely asks about it. She seldom returns to the palace, and she doesn't know that it's normal for an unloved princess in your life.

The queen mother thought for a while, and decided to pack it back to the palace to see who the emperor was, Xiao Wu, who threw a state banquet for a mere little princess.
