In the past, his grandmother always seemed high and mighty.

However, his grandmother’s previous arrogance had vanished. A few strands of her hair had turned white, and she looked much older.

“What’s wrong? Are you frightened? People get old!” The empress dowager wasn’t surprised by her grandson’s shocked look. Instead, she walked over and said with a smile.

Luo Cheng nodded subconsciously. After realizing this, he looked elsewhere awkwardly.

Seeing Luo Cheng nod so honestly, the empress dowager was immediately amused.

“People will age and change!” The empress dowager lamented.

When Luo Cheng heard the empress dowager’s words, he remembered the changes he had made in the past year and nodded.

“Grandmother. you’re right!”

When the empress dowager heard Luo Cheng call her grandmother, she immediately looked at him in surprise.

“How unexpected! I didn’t expect you to become so sensible after being away for so many years. In the past, you wouldn’t say anything. Now, you’ve become much more agreeable!”

As the empress dowager spoke, she asked someone to bring some fruit platters.

“Come, sit down and eat something with me! Over the years, my appet.i.te has been deteriorating. After seeing the change in you today, I feel very happy and I have an appet.i.te now!”

When Luo Cheng heard the empress dowager’s words, he nodded and sat down to eat with her.

As the empress dowager ate, she sized up Luo Cheng.

“You’ve become much more sensible after you got married! I remember that in the past, your presence was always very low. Moreover, anyone who looked at you would be intimidated by you. You’re too stubborn and your personality is very similar to your father’s, but this personality will make you suffer a lot!” Luo Cheng was surprised to hear the empress dowager’s words.

All these years, he rarely got close to his father. Even when he faced the empress dowager, he rarely showed any intimacy.

Luo Cheng had always thought that no one in the royal family liked him or cared about him.

But now that he heard what the empress dowager said, he began to realize that he had really neglected some things.

When the empress dowager saw Luo Cheng’s thoughtful expression, she also remembered what had happened back then and her voice softened.

“Back then, you were too lonely and aloof. Even if I wanted to dote on you more, I didn’t dare to show it! Child, you might feel resentment, but many things aren’t as simple as you think. Your mother had a low status and had no family. After your mother pa.s.sed away, you were alone and helpless.”

“If your father and I don’t take you seriously, that’ll be the best protection for you. Once your father and I take you seriously, what awaits you will be a calamity. You were born in the royal family, so you should know that in this birdcage-like royal family, danger is everywhere. Our concern isn’t good for a child who has no one to take care of him!”

The empress dowager’s words enlightened Luo Cheng.

In the past, Luo Cheng might not have understood. A year ago, even if Luo Cheng did understand, he wouldn’t want to think about it.

But the current Luo Cheng was different!

Li Xiaoran gave him sincerity and true love, so he became much more compa.s.sionate.

Therefore, he was able to listen to what the empress dowager was saying now.

“I understand!”

Seeing that Luo Cheng understood what she meant, the empress dowager nodded. “Child, it’s good that you understand! In this world, many things are out of your control. Even your father is restrained by many things. Your father isn’t a perfect father, but he’s also working hard to be a good father.

Understand him more, and your father will understand you more. Your

Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else this time. He just nodded and stopped talking.

In Luo Cheng’s heart, whether they could get along well depended on the emperor’s actions.

If his father still acted like before, he would at most maintain a superficial harmony between them.

Therefore, the future relations.h.i.+p between them ultimately fell on his father.

He didn’t have any designs on that throne, so he didn’t mind.

The empress dowager could tell that Luo Cheng didn’t think much of it, so she sighed and said nothing else.

There were too many misunderstandings and barriers between father and son, so it was impossible to completely resolve them in a short time. They could only take it slow.

Fortunately, this kid was willing to return to the capital now, so there was room for negotiation.

After that, the empress dowager changed the topic to Li Xiaoran.

“Tell me, how did you get together with that girl called Li Xiaoran?”

“Speaking of which, it was by chance! Perhaps the heavens took pity on me and sent Xiaoran to my side!” At the mention of Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up.

Luo Cheng explained how he and Li Xiaoran met and how they ended up together.

The empress dowager was old and liked to hear these sorts of things the most, so as one person spoke while the other listened, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When Xiao Dezi arrived, the empress dowager let Luo Cheng go.

“Bring Xiaoran to see me when you’re free! Don’t worry, with me around, I won’t let her be bullied!” The empress dowager finally said.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll bring her in for you to see!” The empress dowager let Luo Cheng go after getting his promise.

After Li Xiaoran resolved Luo Cheng’s matter, she also had a detailed understanding of Prime Minister Yan.

She already knew what to do.

However, now wasn’t the time to take action. She had to wait a little longer, at least until she found some evidence against Yan Xiaoqiao.

With an idea in mind, Li Xiaoran’s mood improved.

Since she wasn’t in a good mood today, Li Xiaoran decided to make some delicious food to make herself feel better.

Therefore, after some thought, Li Xiaoran decided to get some ingredients to cook roasted meat.

Even if there was no iron net, there would be iron plates.

After was.h.i.+ng the various ingredients, he cut them and marinated them.

Since lettuce wasn’t easy to find, she would use cabbage to wrap the meat instead.

After everything was ready, Luo Cheng came with a guest.

As soon as he entered the Seventh Prince’s residence and smelled the aroma of meat coming from the courtyard, the emperor immediately felt hungry!
