C107 The Love Token Sent by Little Nine to Gu Jun'an.

Lan Qingqian stared at him angrily.

Lan Licheng called out, “Auntie!” There was a hint of scheming and pride in his voice.

Lan Qingqian finally realized that he had called her Little Jiu so that she would talk to him.

When Lan Qingqian was born, Lan Licheng was already thirteen years old, so he had already become the elder of the family. Naturally, he wasn’t willing to be called auntie. Who would have an elder grandson call auntie? Gradually, Lan Qingqian started to talk and forced him to call her auntie.

He was unwilling to do so, so he was beaten up by the Xiao Ren Deceased Emperor. After getting beaten up, he lost his backbone and lowered his head to call her auntie.

From then on, he embarked on the path of a pigeon…

“You liar, I don’t want to talk to you.” Lan Qingqian turned her head, her voice filled with sadness and excitement.

“You said that you would come and give me presents, but you never came. I waited for a long time, but you never came. My father went to a faraway place, so no one cared about me. Luckily, I gave you money every year. You broke my father’s jade seal, and I was the one who broke the walnut. You and them both hate me, because of my father.” She vented all her grievances and cried.

“I didn’t! I didn’t want to come, but I couldn’t come openly. I just stood on the palace wall and looked at you. I kept looking around with the red box in my arms. If I came, my mother would become more and more unhappy with you. You’re still young, so you can’t protect yourself. The further I was from you, the less people would want to hit you. If I didn’t hang you, why would I still remember to give you the fifth grasshopper!” Lan Licheng’s eyes were red as he reached out to hug her.

Lan Qingqian cried and rushed into his arms. She lost control of her strength and pushed Lan Lichui to the ground.

Before she could stop crying, she stared at Lan Lichui as he got up from the ground.

“I didn’t use too much strength.” Lan Qingqian’s voice was full of grievance. She had rushed over to carry the old prince.

Lan Lichui patted the dust off his clothes and coughed dryly. “Little Nine, you have to control your strength. Why do you seem to be getting stronger every year?” He did not take this to heart. It was as if he had gotten used to it.

“It’s your fault for being weak. The old prince would not fall and would still hold me firmly!” Lan Qingqian felt that it was not her fault.

Gu Jun’an’s cold eyes were filled with pride.

Lan Lichui was afraid that she would get cold, so he put her on Gu Jun’an’s robe.

“Ah Che, why did you come to fight?”

Lan Lichui said, “Did we not get our revenge? My father and the Crown Prince discussed this with Grandpa Emperor when he was still the Crown Prince. However, Grandpa Emperor was too old and said that he would deal with it when my father became the Crown Prince. I didn’t expect that it would fall on me in just a few months. At that time, Grandpa Emperor and my father and a few other uncles swore that they would take revenge for Grandpa Emperor’s eldest sister.”

“Then, did the empress dowager agree to let you come? And your empress?” In her memory, the empress dowager was a timid sister and the empress dowager was fierce. She was always angry and cried every few days.

Lan Lichen, “It’s not good for my mother to object to this. As for the Empress, she’s always obedient and doesn’t dare to say anything. I was afraid that Mother would do something to me, but now that the expedition is over, I can’t do anything about it. So I came to see you personally. As for leading the army to war, I don’t know He Dongzhi. I was planning to come here quietly and sneakily go to the West Province to see you, but I didn’t expect you to come with me.”

This was the hatred of the Lan family, but it might not be the Empress’. If she could get some benefits without spending a single soldier, she would definitely have this plan. He knew his mother’s personality better than anyone else.

“I’m here to protect the Empress!” She straightened her body and looked proud.

Lan Lichen saw that she was dressed like a kid, so he had an idea. “Why don’t you come with me to the Canglan army camp to protect me? Isn’t Gu Jun’an very powerful? He doesn’t need your protection at all! After the war ends, I’ll send you back?”

If it was before, Lan Qingqian would have definitely agreed, but after being with the Empress for so long, she had feelings for her and didn’t want to leave her.

Gu Jun’an stood not far away and opened his mouth. “Do you think those soldiers in Canglan don’t recognize her?”

Lan Lichen immediately said, “She can wear a phoenix tail mask.”

Gu Jun’an said coldly, “Get lost! I’ll let you see her as the bottom line. After saying that, go back to your territory.”

“Gu Jun’an, what attitude is that? I am the Emperor! You are just a mere prince!” Lan Lichen saw his attitude and became angry.

Gu Jun’an looked at him coldly, “Let me remind you, according to seniority, you should be called uncle! Besides, I think your mother is more like the Emperor than you, and you are more like a puppet.”

This uncle-uncle sound almost made Lan Lichen vomit blood.

However, he couldn’t do anything about it because his aunt had indeed married Gu Jun’an in name.

Gu Jun’an smiled coldly and mockingly, “You need to call me uncle a few more times before you can get used to it.”

Lan Qingqian also felt that it was right, “Ah Che, according to the rules, you should call me the old husband’s uncle.”

Lan Lichen could only pretend that he didn’t hear it. He turned around and pulled the hair beside Lan Qingqian’s ear to tell her about other things.

“Are you doing well in the West Province? Is there anyone bullying you? If there is, tell me and I’ll kill him!” He kept glancing at Gu Jun’an.

Lan Qingqian shook her head, “No, if anyone dares to bully me, I’ll beat them to death. I’m so powerful!” She swore.

Lan Lichen patted her head, “That’s good. You have to remember that our Canglan princess can’t be bullied by anyone. You are the only one who can bully others. We can eat anything, but we can’t take any losses.”

The three of them squatted nearby and listened to the two of them mutter. They thought to themselves, It seems like no matter what we eat, we can’t take any losses. This is an ancestral rule passed down from generation to generation in the Lan family. One or two people, they don’t have any skills, but they inherited the ancestral rule well.

“Recently, my mother seemed to be looking for something in the palace where Grandfather used to live. She searched through it a few times, even the Imperial Study Room. But she didn’t say what she was looking for. It seemed like she was looking for a few boxes. Little Jiu, remember that if Canglan’s people mention Grandfather to you, tell them that you don’t know anything.”

Lan Qingqian nodded. “Okay.” For some reason, she immediately remembered the secret that her father had secretly given her in the past.

When the two talked about the night, Lan Qingqian was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching. She was still talking to him.

Lan Licheng held her in his arms and patted her back gently. He only sent her to Gu Jun’an after she fell asleep.

He looked down at her. “Gu Jun’an, you have to remember your promise to take good care of her. Otherwise, even if I am a puppet, I will fight with you with my life.”

Since he was young, among his uncles and aunts, there were also his brothers and sisters. He and Little Jiu were the best at playing. The others were jealous of Little Jiu. They were usually kind on the surface, but they would always push her away in the dark.

When his father left, he also found it hard to breathe. He wanted her to take care of the blood of the late emperor.
