In a certain room, Lan empire imperial palace
In the Lan imperial palace, there exists a hidden room
The room isn't in a fixed location, it will always move around the Lan palace.
The room can only be found or seen if the owner of the room wants it
Not even royal family and the emperor can find the room unless the owner give consent.
The room is massive, even bigger than the room that the banquet was held
Various stuff can be seen in the room, stuff like books, weapons, scrolls, couches, and what can be described as bean bag, books are the most numerous in numbers, making it's own small hills
In the back of the room a big bed stood there, with various book on top of it.
This room belong to none other than Lan Xue
The former empress of the Lan Empire and and the empress of blue rose, Lan Meigui elder sister
She is well known for stabilizing the empire after it was devastated.
She rules the empire for only for a millennium before choosing to retire, handing the throne to her uncle and focus on her cultivation.
And even though she only rules the empire for a short time by immortal empire standard, she is still an incredibly important figure in the empire history. Because if it wasn't for her stabilizing the empire while it was at it lowest point with almost the entire royal line devastated, and the empire in tatter, the Lan empire would have been finished right then and there.

In Lan Xue room stood two people's standing in front of each other
Lan Meigui and Lan Xue
Similar to her sister, Lan Xue also possesses deep blue eye and hairs, similarly she also wears deep blue robe, however unlike Lan Meigui who's robe have embroidery of dragons, she instead have embroidery of phoenixes.
They look nearly identical except unlike Lan Meigui who only have a blue rose headband as decoration, Lan Xue doesn't have any sort of decoration and just let her hair flow freely
She is also more expressive. Other than that they look very similar although Lan Xue is slightly taller
On side note, Lan Xiao would later in the future finds another difference between the sisters
Mainly his mom have bigger assets compared to Lan Xue
And some "other" things
.
Both of them just stand there awkwardly until Lan Xue walk toward Lan Meigui then proceed to give her a big hug
"Ah I miss little Mei'er"
Lan Meigui expressionless face disappears and replaced with a kind smile, the smile only her sisters, her son, and her disciples have honor seeing
"I miss you too sister Xue'er"
Then both of them separate from the hug, both of them make their way to Lan Xue bed and sit side by side.
Lan Xue teasingly said
"You haven't visit me for almost a thousand years now and when you do, you are already a mother? you don't even tell me you have a child!"
"Sorry"
Seeing her younger sister being slightly meek, she can't help but shakes her head, even though she is much more powerful than her she still act meek around her sometimes, she know full well that if anyone else try to tease her they might get impaled to death.
"Still, you name him after sister Xiao'er right?"
"Yes, i name him in her honor"
Lan Xue smile warmly at this
Even though both of them have live significantly longer without Lan Xiao'er, than living with her, they still love her and treasure every memory when three of them were still young
Then Lan Xue voice turn serious
"Still, you conceive him using THAT ritual aren't you? I can feel a part of your soul in him"
Lan Meigui nodded
" *Sigh* you know that, using that ritual to have a child instead of the normal way will have consequences you know? "
"Thanks to the ritual, you will develop some unhealthy obsession with him"
"I know"
"Then you also know that, no matter how pure the intention of a person doing it, even if they are doing it just solely to have a child, in the end due to their obsession will end up into incestuous relationships?"
"I know sister, I already research it"
"Then why don't you break the effect?! I can feel it affecting you, and someone of your caliber can dispel it as easy as blinking! even I can do it"
Lan Meigui gently shakes her head
"I know I can dispel it, but I choose not to"
Hearing her answer Lan Xue sigh, she know her sister long enough to know why she didn't dispel the effect of the ritual
"Well it is your choice little Mei'er, and I will respect that, how about we just talk about something else?"
Finally Lan Xue start to be relaxed again
"But you must let me meet him soon! I wanna see my nephew!"
Lan Meigui smiles and nodded
"Sure, he is currently out in the capital with Guo daughter, Lan Yue"
"Oohh little Yue? she is quite talented girl, I have high hope for her"
"You will take her to Infinity Dragon sect right?"
Lan Meigui nodded
"Yes, she is one of the few people's Lan Guo recommend to participate in the sect entrance exam"
"Good, I have high hope for her"
She then look at the door leading toward her room
"Still to actually make the daughter of Zi Kong as his attendant, he sure is brave"
The reason she look toward the door is because that's where Lan Meigui have told Zi Zexian to wait while she is having private conversations with her sister
Then both of them look seemingly at a wall in the room, but in truth they are seeing something else
They are looking at Lan Xiao and Lan Yue who is just entering the restaurant
And as if feeling something fun going to happen soon, Lan Xue smile
