Quickly wear it with your skills

However, just as he knelt down, the Queen called him up and quickly asked the palace maid beside him to help him up. Only then did Lan Hanlu stand up straight and slowly raise her head.

That charming face caught the queen's eye, causing her to frown at first, and then relax her expression.

He was quickly given a seat.

"I'll call you Zhixian, okay?" This was Lan Hanlu's courtesy name, and the Queen said this to show her affection. After all, Lou Xiao was fighting so hard up front.

She quickly stood up and knelt down to salute, "It's a blessing for me to be addressed by you like that."

As far as Lan Hanlu knew, the Queen was about the same age as the Emperor and should be thirty-one this year, but the Queen had taken good care of herself and looked only about twenty-four or twenty-five, and she dressed very steadily and appropriately.

In addition, her appearance was rather stern, giving her an air of authority without even being angry. Although when he spoke to her, his tone was intentionally or unintentionally somewhat intimate.

Lan Hanlu knew that this was a favor given to her by Lou Xiao because he was fighting outside, so she naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous.

The Queen was relieved to see that Lan Hanlu understood the rules. After all, no matter how much she was the daughter of a scholar, she was still a country girl. If she didn't understand the rules, she couldn't be too strict with her, otherwise it would easily chill the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court as well as the soldiers on the frontier.

"Why are you standing up again? Hurry up and sit down without being polite. Have a taste of my new tea."

Lan Hanlu thanked him again, then readily took the teacup and took a sip. The tea had a clear and pleasant aroma, and in Lan Hanlu's opinion, this tea must be rare even within the palace.

Without thinking too much, it must be a gift from the Emperor, so naturally there was a round of compliments and praise, followed by some small talk and inquiries with the Empress. Seeing that the time was almost up, he could give some rewards as a token of his favor and let the person go.

Just as the queen was about to give out the reward, she heard a commotion outside the door. Before she could ask what was going on, she heard a loud laugh.

Then the emperor, dressed in red formal attire, walked in. He was tall and straight, with a fair complexion and his hair tied up high. He walked with a steady gait, suggesting he had some martial arts background.

As soon as he entered, he walked a few steps to the Queen and helped the Queen to her feet. "Yan Yan, we are husband and wife, why do you have to be so polite? Everyone else can also excuse themselves."

The queen's cheeks flushed, "Your Majesty is actually making fun of me, and he doesn't even notice that there are other people here."

Lan Hanlu originally followed the maids in saluting and then stood up. She stood obediently aside as if she were invisible, but when the queen mentioned her, she had to quickly step forward and salute.

Lan Hanlu took a few steps forward according to protocol, and when she was still some distance away from the Emperor and Empress, she quickly knelt down and saluted. "I, Lou Xiao's wife, Lou Lan, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor seemed to have just realized that there was an outsider here. He turned around and glanced at Lan Hanlu. Of course, he knew Lan Hanlu. From the day he planned to use Lou Xiao, everything the two of them had been in his sight until now.

But when he saw Lan Hanlu's face clearly, he was still stunned for a moment. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her nose was like a hanging gall bladder, her lips were like vermilion, and her watery eyes unconsciously revealed a charm.

He secretly twisted his fingers, then pulled the queen to sit in the main seat. Seeing that there was nothing unusual with the emperor, the queen put her worries at ease.

She secretly blamed herself in her heart. The emperor has always been a man of great strategy and strategy, devoted to the country's affairs, and quite cold to the harem. She must have gone crazy. How could she think so badly of the emperor?

Although he spoke a lot, it was only a fleeting thought. "Please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

After Lan Hanlu stood up, she sat down again at the bottom with a peaceful smile on her face, cursing in her heart. Her legs were a little weak from squatting, so she stood up and said there was no need to be so polite.

"I see that the emperor is in a good mood today, but if you have any good news, it would make me happy too." The queen accompanied the emperor all the way and spoke casually.

The Emperor, upon hearing the Empress's words, seemed to have remembered something and laughed again. "Yes. There is indeed a piece of good news. Lou Xiao won a great victory up ahead and has already recaptured a city."

Lan Hanlu was not surprised by this. The Lou family army itself was strong in combat. Although it had not been led by a leader for ten years, Lou Xiao was the orthodox of the Lou family and had superb martial arts skills, so it was not difficult to subdue these people.

"General Lou is away, so it's inconvenient for the emperor to reward him. It would be better to reward his wife. After all, it's a good thing to give a wife a title and give her sons a place in the family." The queen's words showed both insight and perspective.

The Emperor patted the Empress's hand and said, "Your reason is absolutely correct. Then I will grant Lou Lan an imperial decree..."

Lan Hanlu didn't hear clearly what the emperor said next. He just felt a buzzing in his head. After the imperial edict was issued, it would be impossible for him to divorce.

However, after the emperor finished speaking, she mechanically walked to the middle and knelt down to express her gratitude, although she did not hear clearly what the emperor's series of rewards were.

She lowered her head so low that the emperor, wanting to take another look at her face, could only see her dark hair. She followed the palace maid out of the palace and sat in the carriage, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Mama also thought she was going to the palace to see the emperor. The empress was nervous, but after leaving the palace, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly comforted her. "Madam, there's no need to be so nervous. The emperor is a man of great talent and wisdom, and the empress is a benevolent woman. They are not difficult people to get along with."

Lan Hanlu nodded but did not reply. This had not happened in his previous life. He had not met the emperor. He only learned about Lou Xiao's victory after returning home, and the rewards he received from the palace were only gold, silver, and jewelry.

She didn't know that it was her different behavior along the way compared to her previous life that caught the emperor's attention, and he came over to take a look out of curiosity.

As for her performance, it was of course the guard who presented it to the emperor. A country girl could behave so gracefully and gracefully, and act in an orderly manner. Didn't this arouse curiosity?

As soon as she returned to the palace, the imperial edict and rewards arrived. She only found out about them after she sent the people from the palace away and checked the rewards.

In addition to the gold, silver and jewelry from the previous life, there is also a farm on the outskirts of the city. After reading the introduction of this farm, I found that it is about 5000 acres, but the arable land is only more than 330 acres.

Because it includes a small hill with sparse vegetation, some small wild animals, and little cultivated land, although there is a hot spring inside.

However, for a large family, this manor is of very low value. Of course, for some wealthy families, more than 300 acres of arable land is not a small amount.

What was left was 1000 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver, a set of auspicious clothes for a lady of noble title, some head ornaments, jewelry, cloth, and ornaments, which looked very spectacular when placed in the yard.

She ordered the servants in the mansion to put these things into her own warehouse. These were her own private property. Then she could buy some shops and make money from them.
