C114 Not Calling Him Uncle, but Calling Him Grandpa.

There were three words written on his cold face, “Not welcome.”

He reached out his hand and pulled the little thing out of his arms, “You have to follow the rules of a junior. Can you even hug your aunt?”

“Damn, Gu Jun’an, are you trying to provoke me?”

Gu Jun’an’s eyes were cold, “Pay attention to your identity. You should be called uncle!”

Lan Linzhi was irritated, “I don’t have an uncle like you!” He didn’t want this kid to be his uncle. Apart from being good-looking and knowing how to fight, what else could he do?

He regretted it. He should have refused to let Little Nine marry this kid.

Lan Qingqian stood in front of Lan Linzhi and patted him, “Ah Che, you can’t be rude. The old son-in-law is my son-in-law. You should call him uncle according to the seniority.”

Gu Jun’an forced a smile, “If you don’t want to, you can call me Grandfather!”

He was a sworn brother of the late Xiao Ren, the father of the emperor.

If the son of the late Xiao Ren called him Grandfather, then his grandson should call him Grandfather!

Lan Linzhi was taken advantage of.

He Dongzhi saw that his emperor was at a disadvantage, so he changed the topic, “Seventh Prince, let’s go in and talk about something important.” It was really improper for the emperor of his country to call the emperor of the other country Grandfather.

Gu Jun’an told Lan Qingqian, “Don’t run around.”

Naturally, Lan Qingqian was a girl who couldn’t stay quiet, and Lan Licheng was even more so. In the blink of an eye, she forgot to tell him and sneaked out of the residence with Lan Qingqian.

The two of them had a great time in the city.

The children raised in the palace yearned for the vast world outside. The grown-up Lan Licheng was also like this.

In the past, the father and mother had been suppressing her, but after the father passed away, the mother’s suppression became more and more strict. She had the final say in the matters of the imperial court, and she had the final say in the matters of the harem.

Even choosing concubines was done by her alone. She had to choose who to be close to and who to be far away from.

The women she found were all related to her mother. Don’t think that he really didn’t know what her mother’s intentions were.

Lan Licheng was like a puppet with strings, and he couldn’t breathe. He thought that one day, he would definitely rebel and take the power in his own hands.

In the evening, Lan Licheng heard the sound of a lute when he saw the red and green skyscrapers. The sound of the lute was clear and melodious, and it had a unique flavor.

He stopped and listened for a while. “This lute is better than Consort Yun’s.”

Lan Qingqian knew who Consort Yun was. She was a palace maid who used to be with Lan Licheng. She played a good lute, and she was gentle and soft like warm water.

Suddenly, she had an idea. “Why don’t we go in and listen to who played this lute?”

Lan Qingqian wasn’t very interested in the sound of the lute. In her opinion, Consort Yun’s lute wasn’t worse than this.

However, she was very interested in the people coming and going to and fro.

Why were the people on the other side so happy? What was there to eat on the other side?

Thus, she nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, she was wearing the clothes of a boy. Lan Linzhi was very generous and didn’t make things difficult for them. They were allowed to enter.

The people on the other side were a little messy. They came from all walks of life and because it was the border, there were people from all over the world.

Lan Linzhi listened to the pipa and saw the girl sitting on the high platform. The moonlight was hazy and he could only see her appearance.

Although she was pretty, she wasn’t considered a beauty in the harem.

However, she was lowering her head and playing the pipa seriously. Lan Linzhi couldn’t help but take a few more glances. “Look at the one playing the pipa on the stage. Is she pretty? I don’t think there’s such a girl in my palace.”

Lan Qingqian looked up and seriously said, “She’s pretty, but which of your little concubines isn’t pretty?”

Although Lan Qingqian’s words were childish, they hit the nail on the head. There was never a lack of looks, talent, and even family background in the harem.

Lan Linzhi pulled at her tender face. “What do you know? Her temperament can’t be seen in the harem. It makes people feel as if they’re bathing in spring wind.”

As they were talking, the old procuress came over. “Oh, Young Master, what are you doing here? I’ll find two people who are good-looking and can serve you.”

“Is this lute player not serving the guests?”

The old procuress glanced at her and snorted coldly. She said with disdain, “You said that this lute player was just bought a few days ago and knew nothing about playing the lute. She didn’t know how to make the guests happy. I will introduce someone else to you. It is your first time here, so I don’t want to ruin your mood.”

“I am interested in this lute player,” Lan Qingche said stubbornly.

The old procuress smiled. “There are all kinds of people in this world. If you like her so much, you can sell her to me for two hundred taels of silver. What do you think?”

As if she was afraid that Lan Lichen would refuse, she immediately said, “She is very clean. She hasn’t received any guests yet. She only plays the lute every day and makes a decoration for the guests.”

Lan Lichen thought for a while and threw a jade pendant from her waist to her. “Is it worth two hundred taels of silver?”

The old procuress looked at it carefully and smiled. “It is. It is. I will find a quiet corner in the yard for you and prepare some food and wine. Then I will find a contract to sell her to you.”

That jade pendant was worth at least one thousand taels of silver!

They were in the quiet backyard. When the light came out, they could only see the grass and trees around them and hear the cicadas.

Lan Qingqing was chewing on a pig’s elbow.

Lan Lichen looked at her. “You have eaten a chicken and a duck. You have two bowls of rice and half a lamb chop. Why are you still eating so happily?”

Although she said so, she put some meat in her bowl and even used a handkerchief to wipe the sauce off her face.

Liu came over and saw Lan Qingqian carefully wiping the little girl’s face with a handkerchief. She was so gentle as if she was protecting a treasure.

She couldn’t help but take a look…

When she saw Lan Qingqian, she walked over. “I heard that you bought my indenture. I am a dull and uninteresting person, so I am afraid I can’t serve you well.”

Lan Li Che turned around and looked at her. She could see her appearance clearly now.

Her porcelain white face, crescent eyebrows, almond eyes, and cherry lips.

“What’s your name?”

“Liu, but I don’t have a name here. They call me the Pipa Spirit.”

Lan Qingqian heard this and became curious. “Then did you become a Pipa Spirit?”

Lan Li Che patted her on the head. “You have delicious pork trotters.”

Lan Qingqian felt wronged. “You are so young, but I am older than you!” In the end, the two aunts were covered by the pork trotters in Lan Qingche’s hands.

Liu smiled. “No, I am good at playing the pipa. I like to play pipa, so they call me that.”

“Your pipa is so good!” Lan Li Che praised.

Lan Qingqian said seriously, “Ah Che, you used to praise Yun Fei like that too. Are you out of words and only know this one line?”

Lan Linzhe said that he was really unlucky to meet such a big sister-in-law who was trying to ruin his plan.

“Shut up, you. You can’t stop me from talking. Go play by the side.”

Then, he chased her away.

Lan Qingqian rolled her eyes. She didn’t want to listen to such boring things.
