Chapter 503

Luan entered the palace and came out again, only more than two hours before and after.
The maid who followed her home asked while dressing her wide clothes, "Mrs. I don't eat anything in the palace, but do you want Chuncao to bring some snacks?"
Luan looked tired and shook her head and said, "No need, I'm not hungry."
Zhuang’s mother, who was standing beside her, hurriedly said, “In this way, let’s take a break.”
Luan sat down, thought for a while and said, "Chuncao, go ahead and see if the master is not free. If there is nothing to do, please invite him over."
The maid agreed to go.
Luan was upset and said to the rest: "You all go down! I want to take care of myself."
Sima Gang didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly put down what he was doing.
When Luan saw him, she said, "Master, I will enter the palace today. The Empress Dowager specially called me over and said something."
When Sima Gung heard that the Empress Dowager asked the wife to speak alone, he knew something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luan said: "It's Lantai's marriage."
Sima Jun was not surprised when he heard this. The Empress Dowager always valued Sima Lantai, so it was very likely that he would be accused of marriage for him.
"Since the Queen Mother wants to make a marriage, I wonder which lady is from?"
"Not a lady, but a princess."
"Princess? Which princess?"
"You are confused. Who else can you be? Naturally, the most favored Princess Yushan."
After hearing this, Sima Gong pondered for a moment: "If Lantai is worthy of being a princess, I wonder what this princess is like?"
Perhaps everyone is willing to let his son win the princess, let alone the most favored one. But the Sima Jun and his wife are not very different. They are only one son like Sima Lantai, and they feel guilty about him. They don’t ask him to enter the official career, and they also want him to be happy and satisfied in marriage. Although the princess is good, she has too high status, so she is afraid she will be wronged by her son.
Luan said: "Princess Yushan is dignified and has a very good temperament."
Sima Jun said: "Since the empress dowager has spoken, I'm afraid she can only respond."
Luan said, "The Empress Dowager did not say death, she just asked me what I mean. I thanked me so much, and said I would come back to discuss with you and Lantai."
Sima Jun said: "Discussion? Can we refuse marriage? Although we are a clan, we are also ministers."
Luan said: "Of course I know, but I'm afraid of Lantai..."
"How is he? Does he not want to?" Sima Gang didn't know that Su was kind, but Luan knew, but she felt that two men would not last long in the same place.
Sima Lantai always wants to marry and have children. As for Su Haoyi, Sima Lantai is willing to support him, so he will leave.
It’s just that my son’s stubbornness is afraid that he can’t make a move for a while, so he needs to persuade him.
"I mentioned it to him before, but he didn't answer." Luan did not say Su's good intentions after all: "It's better to ask him."
Sima Jun said, "I asked him to come and ask. This child is probably stupid in his studies of medicine. He is afraid that there is only patients and no relationship between men and women."
Immediately asked the maid to invite Sima Lantai over, but Sima Lantai was not at home.
Until he came back the next day, Luan called him into the room.
Sima Jun wanted to ask where he went yesterday. Luan stopped her husband and asked her son first: "Can you eat breakfast?"
Sima Lantai said: "I've eaten it. My father and mother asked my son to come over, why?"
Luan was still talking, and Sima Gang cleared his throat and said, "Yesterday your mother entered the palace, and the Empress Dowager told her about your marriage."
Sima Lantai frowned when he heard this and said, "What did my mother say?"
Luan said: "What can I say? I can only listen to the empress dowager. The empress dowager appreciates you. Now I want to marry the princess Yushan who I love the most."
"I don't want it!" Sima Lantai said, "Don't come!" Before his mother could finish her words.
"You... do you know what the Empress Dowager meant?" Sima Gang's tone became stern.
Luan quickly picked up a cup of tea for her husband and said, "Master calm down and drink a little tea."
He also said: "When you entered the palace that day, you must have met the princess. Are you not satisfied?"
Sima Lantai said: "My son never looked up, he didn't know what the princess looked like, nor did he want to know."
Sima Jun said, "You didn't even look at it, how could you know that they were not good?"
"Is she good about me?" Sima Lantai said: "I won't marry her."
"It's outrageous!" Sima Gang said angrily: "You have always been the most sensible, let alone the marriage of a man, you resist so much, but do you already have someone in your heart? Since you have the right to say it, let alone the empress dowager's accusation of marriage, do you think it's easy to shirk it?"
"It's nothing to resist marriage. Didn't the Twelfth Uncle refuse to marry Princess Wucheng back then?" Sima Lantai said: "Besides, my son is indeed..."
"Lantai!" Luan interrupted Sima Lantai's words: "My heart hurts so much..."
The father and son quickly stopped arguing and stepped forward to help Luan to bed and rest.
Luan never let her husband know Su Haoyi, so he spent him and had a detailed discussion with his son.
"You are unwilling to accept this marriage, but for Mr. Su?" Luan leaned against the head of the bed, his breath a little unstable.
Sima Lantai replied without hesitation: "Yes."
Luan said helplessly: "But he is a man, and you and him cannot last long. Listen to your mother, you obey the Queen Mother's will. As for you and him, as long as you don't make trouble, I will cover it up for you for your mother."
Luan felt that she had made a great regression. If she were the elders of other families, she would never be so tolerant.
Who would have thought Sima Lantai was not grateful at all and said, "My son was going to report to his mother. Hachiro was actually a daughter, and his son had already signed up for life with her in Xianyuan Mountain. My master and her master were the masters."
Luan couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. If Sima Lantai hadn't stabbed her tiger's mouth with a silver needle, she would have really stopped breathing.
"You, you..." Luan said a few of you in a trembling voice, but she couldn't say anything.
She and this son are not very familiar with each other, and they are not even as close as those who serve them.
Luan was sad and couldn't express his helplessness in his heart.
Sima Lantai knew that his mother was in a dilemma and said, "Mother doesn't have to worry. My son will go to the palace and ask the Empress Dowager to take it back."
"What then?" Luan asked him.
"My son took Hachiro away from Beijing and returned to Xianyuan Mountain."
"Do you really want this?" Luan's tears flowed down, and she didn't wipe them, letting tears roll from her face and hit her clothes: "Whether she is a man or a woman, her status is too low, and she is not even as good as the daughter of a poor family. You..."
Sima Lantai felt pain, but he knew that if he obeyed his parents' orders at this time, it would mean that he would let down Su Haoyi and betray the oath between the two of them.
"You can't think about me and your father? Do you think about the reputation of the Sima family and your own reputation?" Luan's voice was hoarse and in pain.
"My son is unfilial." Sima Lantai knelt down and kowtowed three times to Luan: "No matter what, the son's intentions will not change."
Luan was extremely tired. Looking at his son kneeling in front of him, he used to think he was a jade man, but now it seems that he was actually made of stone.
