The adopted daughter returns with a new face

As soon as Lan Ruyun from the "Lan Mansion" came back, he went to the west wing and told him that the emperor would summon Lan Rufeng to reward him the next morning, and asked him to follow him into the palace the next morning.

Lan Rufeng nodded after hearing this. She didn't think much about it anyway, as she was just going to the palace to collect the reward money. The next day, she got up before dawn, packed up and went to the front yard. Seeing Lan Ruyun calling her for breakfast, she decisively waved her hand and said that it was too early and she had no appetite and could not eat, and she would eat when she came back.

Lan Ruyun didn't force him. He knew that Lan Rufeng usually got up late and went to bed late, so he simply had breakfast and took him into the palace.

Except for Feng Xiangyu and Mu Liangfeng, all the ministers greeted Lan Rufeng politely when they saw him.

When Chen Xue and his son saw Lan Rufeng, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts. Their girl had been depressed all day long since she was rejected, which made them feel very distressed.

“Greetings, Prince Rong…” The ministers waiting in front of the hall greeted Mu Rongchen when they saw him.

Mu Rongchen waved his hand and walked over to Lan Rufeng. Looking at her in blue, he said, "Mr. Lan has made great contributions this time. The emperor was very happy yesterday. I'm sure the reward will be quite a lot."

"Prince Rong, as for me, it's enough to spend money." Lan Rufeng said with a faint smile.

"How can that be possible? A man may have ambitions to travel far and wide, but he also needs money to settle down and start a career before he can marry and have children, right?" Mu Rongchen disagreed.

Lan Rufeng smiled and said, "I am young down there, there is no rush!"

"Mr. Lan, I don't agree with what you said. You are young and promising, and you are also very handsome. The best thing for you is to get married and start a career." Chen Xue said with a smile.

"Master Chen, you're joking. If a person has ties, he will never be able to go far." Lan Rufeng disagreed with what Chen Xue said. She had just entered the world of martial arts and hadn't had enough fun yet.

"That's true..." Chen Xue agreed.

"The court is in session..." Zhao An's voice rang out in the hall, and all the ministers hurried into the hall to attend the court session. Lan Ruyun signaled Lan Rufeng to wait a moment.

Lan Rufeng stood outside the palace, listening to the court officials kneeling and worshipping the emperor as he began to attend court. She thought about Mu Rongchen, who had followed her to Tengchong Mountain despite his injuries and had seen her climbing the cliff with the old man's light skills. She must have been angry when he found someone to investigate her. Although she was not worried about him investigating her, she would not be able to find evidence to prove that she was Liang Ziyu.

"Mr. Lan, the emperor summons you to the palace." Zhao An came out and summoned Lan Rufeng.

Lan Rufeng nodded and followed Zhao An into the palace. When he reached the front of the palace, he bowed with both hands and bowed at the waist to greet the emperor: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

When the emperor and his ministers saw that Lan Rufeng refused to kneel, they were a little surprised at his extraordinary courage, but they also knew that people in the martial arts world did not like official etiquette.

The emperor asked Lan Rufeng to stand up. Lan Rufeng said "thank you" and straightened up to look at the emperor.

"Mr. Lan, this time you captured the bandits in Tengchong Mountain without any soldiers, and you also brought back a lot of food and treasure to replenish the national treasury. For such a great achievement, I will grant you a mansion and marry my second princess to you. I hereby decree..." The emperor smiled and gave the order, but his eyes were fixed on Lan Rufeng.

All the ministers were surprised to hear the emperor's reward. Lan Rufeng was so frightened that his legs almost weakened. He quickly refused: "Your Majesty, the princess is a daughter of heaven. I am just a quack doctor. I dare not dream of it. Please take back your order."

"Master Lan, you are wrong. Although the princess is a gifted girl, Master Lan, a quack doctor, seems to be not bad either. They are truly a match made in heaven." Mu Rongchen said seriously.

"Prince Rong, you are joking. I am a commoner who has some self-awareness." Lan Rufeng didn't believe that Mu Rongchen was so kind. No wonder he was talking about settling down and starting a family outside the palace just now. It turned out...!

"Why doesn't Mr. Lan want to marry my daughter? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of you?" the emperor asked calmly.

Lan Rufeng saw the emperor's expression and knew that if she dared to dislike his daughter, she would be looking down on him. She could only bite the bullet and lie: "Your Majesty, I dare not dream of Princess Zhu Yan, but I already have a crush on someone. Please take back your order."

"That's not right! Just now Young Master Lan clearly told me, Lord Chen and me that he is still young and is afraid that if he gets entangled, he won't be able to go far. How come he has someone he likes all of a sudden? Is he deceiving the king?" Mu Rongchen said calmly, accusing him of deceiving the king.

"Asshole..." Lan Rufeng cursed Mu Rongchen inwardly, and bowed to the emperor, saying, "I dare not deceive you, but I have no intention of getting married, and I am ugly. I cannot afford your reward, so I will take my leave first."

"Master Lan..." The emperor called out to Lan Rufeng who was about to turn around and try to escape, and said, "I have admired you since the first time I saw you. The Second Princess loves talents and does not care about external things. I have spoken my words, how can I take them back? It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

“Master Lan, Liangyu has a very gentle personality. You won’t regret marrying Liangyu.” Although Mu Liangcheng was surprised that his father had arranged for his sister to marry Lan Rufeng, he still helped to persuade him to avoid angering his father.

"If Young Master Lan doesn't marry the princess, he must have a reason to convince the emperor, right? Otherwise, how can the emperor take back the marriage he has granted in front of all the ministers? If it gets out, it will damage the emperor's dignity." Mu Rongchen added fuel to the fire.

The ministers looked at the emperor and Prince Rong, who were forcing Lan Rufeng to marry the second princess. They all understood the emperor's intention, that he did not want to lose a talent like him and wanted to keep him in the royal family to serve the country.

The emperor looked at Lan Rufeng without turning back, and directly gave him a strong prescription: "Since Master Lan has no reason to convince me, then I will reward you with the Qiulin Mansion on South Street. You can marry the princess in three days, and I will leave the court...!"

"Your Majesty..." Lan Rufeng called out, then slowly turned around and looked at the emperor who had stood up and said, "I, a commoner, actually don't like women."

"He doesn't like women..." When the ministers heard Lan Rufeng say that he didn't like women, they were all shocked and thought: "Could it be that he likes Long Yang?"

The Emperor, Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng were speechless as they saw Lan Rufeng lying with his eyes open.

"Mr. Lan, do you mean that you like men?" Yang Feng asked with a deliberate smile.

Lan Rufeng deliberately covered his mouth with his hand and coughed twice to show his embarrassment, saying: "General Yang, your words are too straightforward, right? Can't you at least give me some face?"

"You are such a jerk. I really admire you." Mu Rongchen didn't expect Lan Rufeng to be so shameless. He was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

“In that case, I will not force Young Master Lan to marry my daughter. However, Young Master Lan is extremely talented and intelligent. I intend to send Prince Rong and the Crown Prince out of the capital for an inspection. I will appoint Young Master Lan as an imperial envoy and have him accompany them.” The emperor used another method to force Lan Rufeng to show up.

"Is it wrong to be an imperial envoy? Do you want to keep her head?" Lan Rufeng was secretly annoyed and refused in fear: "Your Majesty, I don't like being restricted, but I am also qualified to be an imperial envoy. Please think twice."

"If Young Master Lan can't bear the responsibility, I don't think anyone else can bear the responsibility of being an imperial envoy. The battle of Tengchong Mountain was all planned by Young Master Lan, who took it down easily. Even I admire him deeply, let alone others." Mu Rongchen spoke his true feelings. He really admired this woman's ability.

"Prince Rong, you are too kind to me. I just stumbled upon this by accident and it's just luck." Lan Rufeng stared at Mu Rongchen who was trying to trip her up with a forced smile.

"Then I don't mind Young Master Lan. What a fluke." Mu Rongchen continued to sing a different tune.

"You're a son without an asshole." Lan Rufeng was so angry that he cursed Mu Rongchen in his heart and wanted to kick him away.

"Mr. Lan is extremely talented, brave and resourceful. He deserves the position of imperial envoy." Lan Ruyun helped to recommend him.

"Lan Ruyun, I'm your sister!" Lan Rufeng looked at Lan Ruyun who was still helping the emperor's brothers and couldn't help wailing in his heart, but Lan Ruyun didn't know that she was his sister!
