Wind and Rain Empire

Inside the royal study

The emperor is reviewing the memorial while writing

Eunuch Wu entered the door, bowed, and whispered to the emperor

"Report to the official family, the empress is here"

Empress Han slowly approached the emperor with a slight smile

The emperor put down his pen and looked up at the queen

"Oh, here we come"

The queen leaned slightly and bowed

"Courts and concubines meet officials"

"Excuse me, the empress is just recovering from a serious illness, why doesn't she rest in the palace? How do these palace servants serve you, and don't try to persuade them?"

Queen smiles softly

"Thank you for the concern of the officials. This is not a matter of the palace people. It is the concubines themselves who insist on coming to see the officials. It is not easy for them to stop the concubines. The concubines almost died before, thanks to the emperor being by his side, plus With Xueyi's special medicine and the imperial physician's treatment these days, this concubine feels refreshed and much better."

The emperor was a little angry when he heard the word "imperial doctor", and stood up

"Hmph, I get angry when I mention those imperial doctors. Queen, they are all useless when you are critically ill. They will take care of you after you wake up. What is the use of raising them? They are all inexperienced people, why not The maid next to Xueyi is useful."

The queen looked at the emperor suspiciously

"Could it be that the concubine's life-saving medicine was given by Xue Yi's maid?"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief

"Yeah, speaking of it, I have to thank her very much. The last time I went to the General's Mansion, I just wanted to see her again, but I completely forgot about the reward."

the queen stepped forward

"Officials, that woman who is so proficient in medical skills should be kept by your side, and given her a female official position so that she can always be with the official's side"

The emperor was happy in his heart but wanted to show refusal on his face, so he waved his hands

"Hey, this is not a casual thing, I have to investigate her background before making a decision"

"Can the officials find out anything wrong with her?"

"It hasn't been found out yet, I only know that she was rescued by Xueyi, and I don't know the rest"

What a smart person the queen is, she instantly understood the emperor's mind from the emperor's tone

"Officials, this concubine thinks that a child who can get along with Xueyi will definitely not be a bad child, and besides, she has never known this concubine before, so she offered this heavenly medicine after changing hands, which shows that she is loyal to the official family. A woman is much better than a concubine with a prominent family background but domineering, as long as she is loyal to the official family and does not cause harm to the court, it doesn't matter what background or life experience she is in."

The emperor was full of joy when he heard it, but he still didn't dare to speak too radically, so he continued to test

"Queen, you are right, but giving her the post of female officer is a bit wronged to her"

queen thought

"The official family is really serious, and they still haven't spoken their minds to the Ai family."

So he laughed

"Official family, this girl's good looks must have won the favor of the official family, right? The official family is thinking about it day and night, right? If that's the case, why don't you accept her as a concubine?"

emperor turned to queen

"I had this intention before, but I didn't mention it because I was worried that you, the queen, have not recovered."

"The official family's intentions for the courtiers, the courtiers naturally understand, the courtiers have been with the official couples for decades, can they still not understand the official family? If the courtiers walk ahead of the official family one day, they also hope that the official family can have A safe person stays with you for a lifetime, and the officials know that they dote on concubines and concubines, but looking at the concubines in the harem, who can take on the important task of being a concubine, so the officials need to think more about it."

"If I do this and make Zi Linglong my concubine, won't the queen be jealous?"

Queen smiled

"The officials are making fun of their concubines again. As a queen, if they can't stand the concubines of the official family, wouldn't they be soured to death?"

emperor laughs

"Hahaha, what the empress said is very true. (Pause) Since you have said so, empress, then I will make an edict to let her enter the palace."

The queen only responded

"Official sage"

Blue Snowsuit Bedroom in General Blue's Mansion

Lan Xueyi woke up from the couch, stretched her waist, let out a long breath, and vaguely saw Zi Linglong's face

"General, why did you get up so late? It's already past noon! Linglong has been thinking about waking you up, but she was afraid of disturbing the general's rest."

Lan Xueyi sat up in shock

"What? It's already noon? (After thinking about it, muttering) Hey, fortunately, I don't have to go to the morning today."

Zi Linglong asked worriedly

"General, are you feeling unwell? Linglong will take your pulse."

Lan Xueyi waved his hand

"No, it's just a very long dream. It's all about following my mother Wang's apprenticeship after my parents were murdered."

Zi Linglong thought about it for a long time, then looked at Lan Xueyi again and again.

"General, Mother Wang has been away for half a month, why hasn't she come back?"

"I don't know if some relative of her family wants to drink wedding wine when they get married. Could it be Chen Linlin from my uncle's family?"

As soon as Zi Linglong poured a cup of tea, she was so surprised that she almost spilled it

Seeing Zi Linglong flustered, Lan Xueyi asked

"Linglong, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Linglong will change the clothes for the general."

So Zi Linglong changed into casual clothes for Lan Xueyi, and Lan Xueyi stood up

Wang Ma's voice came from outside the house

"General, I'm back!"

Lan Xueyi smiled at Zi Linglong

"It really means that Wang Mama is here"

Lan Xueyi put on her clothes and went out to greet her. Wang Yuhe and the guards came in with big bags and small bags.

Wang Yuhe put down the package, gasping for breath

"Oh my god, I'm so exhausted (pointing to the big and small bags all over the place) I was eating all the food, the carriage was bumping and shaking, I ate all the way and threw up all the way, I was tossing to death (sit down on the ground) "

Lan Xueyi looked at the things on the ground and asked

"Wang Ma, where did this thing come from?"

Wang Yuhe feels baffled

"Hey, why is your memory so bad at such a young age, isn't this the local product you want me to bring?"

"Oh, that's right, that's not enough to get back so much."

"Don't mention it, the son got married, and the folks and elders sent us home. This is only a small part of it."

Lan Xueyi was puzzled

"Son? Whose son?"

"Of course it's my son. Could it be your son?"

Lan Xueyi was very surprised

"You have a son? I've never heard you mention it."

Wang Yuhe stood up

"Nonsense! If you don't have children, where do I get the milk to feed you? I just didn't say anything!"

"Then why don't you say it?"

"No one asked me why I should say it? Is it possible that I have a son when I see someone, why I didn't take it with me because I was with his grandparents, and his father ran away with a brothel? Then do you want me to tell you another big news, my sister’s child, Chen Linlin, is your sister Linlin, who got lost when she was 13?"

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong were stunned at the same time

Lan Xueyi said in surprise

"What? Sister Linlin is lost?"

Wang Yuhe has nothing to do with himself, with a high-spirited expression

"Yes, I went to Xiangyang and lost it"

"Did the uncle and aunt not look for it?"

"I found it, and said it was still alive, so there is no more to say."

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong, her suspicion reached its peak

"This……"

Zi Linglong caught a glimpse of a red food box on the ground and hurriedly changed the subject

"Wang Ma, what's in that food box, it looks familiar"

Wang Yuhe glanced at the box

"Oh, those are prunes and biscuits made by my sister, eat them."

Zi Linglong opened the lid of the box and took out a piece of biscuit, chewed it, and shed tears

Wang Yuhe stood up, puzzled, and walked in front of Zi Linglong

"Huh? Why is this child still crying?"

Lan Xueyi stepped forward to comfort

"Linglong, what's the matter? Don't eat if it tastes bad"

Zi Linglong knelt on the ground and burst into tears

"mother……"

Wang Yuhe and Lan Xueyi looked at each other

Wang Yuhe stepped forward to support Zi Linglong's shoulder

"Child, you..."

Lan Xueyi stepped forward and squatted down

"You really are sister Linlin"

Zi Linglong cries and laughs

"My mother's prunes can be sweet or not, or salty or not, and there are sesame seed cakes. I always like to put three kinds of stuffing, chicken, pork, and mutton, and a lot of peppers. It is said that these three kinds will be mixed together. So It's been like this for years..."

Wang Yuhe hugged Zi Linglong

"My child, is it really you?"

Zi Linglong cried and nodded

Lan Xueyi took out the silver hairpin that Chen Linlin gave her back then from her sleeve

"You gave me this back then, do you remember?"

Zi Linglong looked at the silver hairpin and cried even harder

"Of course I remember, sister Xueyi, no, I didn't expect you to be with me all these years, this, such an inconspicuous hairpin..."

Lan Xueyi hugged Zi Linglong and wiped away her tears

"Why didn't you say it earlier? I have suspected you for a long time"

Zi Linglong sobbed

"Actually, I've always wanted to talk, but firstly, I couldn't find a chance, and every time I wanted to talk, I was interrupted by outsiders; secondly, I was really afraid that my unclean body would tarnish the general's reputation and be left behind."

"Why are you worrying about these things? Your family treats me well, how can I dislike my sister!"

Lan Xueyi tightly held Zi Linglong's hand, and inserted the silver hairpin back onto Zi Linglong's head

Wang Yuhe reacted and raised her head abruptly, asking

"What unclean body?"

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong didn't answer, the three stood up from the ground and walked towards the inner hall

Wang Yuhe followed closely behind Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong, chanting

"Hey, you haven't told me about the unclean body yet?"

Lan Xueyi sat down with her arms around Zi Linglong

"Wang Ma, don't inquire about it, go and clean up those local products."

Wang Yuhe said unconvinced

"Look, you sisters have a secret as soon as you meet each other. If you don't tell me, I won't bother to hear it (out of the hall)"

Lan Xueyi touched Zi Linglong's hand

"Sister Linlin, I'm really sorry, I clearly suspected that you still used you as a bossy girl for so long"

Zi Linglong shook her head

"Sister Xueyi, you should call me Linglong. Chen Linlin is no longer in this world. Besides, Linglong doesn't feel wronged by being ordered by you. (Standing and looking around) On the contrary, in the general's mansion These days are the happiest days since I became sensible, if I can be with Sister Xueyi peacefully like this forever, I don’t know how happy it will be.”

"Linglong, my sister also thought about this before, thinking that Linglong is so cute and considerate, thinking that whoever gets you as a good wife must be the happiest man in the world, but... (interrupted)"

Eunuch Wu's voice came from outside the door

"The decree has arrived!"

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong looked at each other and walked out of the hall

Eunuch Wu and several guards stood at the gate of the mansion, holding the imperial decree

Eunuch Wu loudly

"The imperial decree has arrived! Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong accept the decree!"

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong came and knelt down to receive the order

"The emperor ordered that Zi Linglong, the maidservant of General Lan Xueyi, because of her meritorious service in saving the empress and being kind and pleasant, authorized her to enter the palace tomorrow. She will be named a beauty, with a reward of one hundred taels, 20 brocades of various colors, and other rewards after entering the palace." , Qin this"

Lan Xueyi stood up and looked at Eunuch Wu

Eunuch Wu laughs

"Is General Lan not accepting the order?"

Lan Xueyi answered frankly

"Elder-in-law, my family Linglong doesn't have that much credit, so I can't afford this reward"

Eunuch Wu keeps smiling

"The general is joking, right? This is what the official said, so it must be there."

Lan Xueyi looked at Eunuch Wu

"If this general doesn't accept the imperial decree today, what can father-in-law do to me?"

"The old slave knows that General Lan is a person who understands the general situation, and he will not act foolishly. Besides, this is an imperial decree. Of course, the old slave can't help the general. After all, the old slave just passes on the message."

Seeing the tension and stalemate between the two, Zi Linglong lowered her eyes, stepped forward to hold Lan Xueyi's arm, and shook her head

Zi Linglong's expression was indifferent, and she looked at Lan Xueyi

"Eunuch Wu is here to spread the word, it's useless for us to vent our anger on him"

Seeing Zi Linglong's answer like this, Lan Xueyi frowned, and took the imperial decree unhappily

"Submit's order"

Eunuch Wu patted Lan Xueyi on the shoulder

"Hey, that's right, General, this is a happy event. Not to mention that you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, a golden phoenix flew out of your house. This is all the grace of the official family."

Lan Xueyi smirked

"Hmph, thank you, father-in-law."

"Then tomorrow, the old slave will be waiting here to take the beauty into the palace."

Eunuch Wu turned around after speaking

Watching Eunuch Wu and the guards leave, both Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong had dark faces

"Tomorrow...you will enter the palace..."

Lan Xueyi reluctantly revealed this fact

"yes"

Seeing Lan Xueyi's unhappy look, Zi Linglong quickly put on a forced smile

"Since we still have this time, we can have a good time tonight"

Zi Linglong took Lan Xueyi's hand and led her to run towards the street

Lin’an, the capital city at that time, was extremely prosperous, and the rich content in the night market was hard to find in ancient and modern times. There were row upon row of restaurants and tea houses, and the giant candles lit up the sky like daylight. From time to time, there were government commissioners patrolling to maintain law and order.

Zi Linglong took Lan Xueyi to a stall selling lip gloss, and the enthusiastic proprietress immediately greeted her,

"Young Master, if you need anything, just look at it and try it out."

Zi Linglong answered "Yes" and opened the lid to smell it.

The proprietress looked at the two carefully and couldn't help admiring:

"You two are really a couple, are you married?"

Lan Xueyi just wanted to explain

"The proprietress has really good eyesight, we just got married today"

Zi Linglong dealt with it, Lan Xueyi stared at her with wide eyes, and Zi Linglong raised an eyebrow at Lan Xueyi with a smile

"Husband, do you think this color suits me?"

Zi Linglong took some lip balm with her little finger and showed it to Lan Xueyi. Lan Xueyi knew nothing about makeup, so she had to answer

"Very good, but the color looks a little thicker"

Without saying a word, Zi Linglong applied the lip balm on her little finger to Lan Xueyi's lips

Lan Xueyi was shocked

"Linglong, what are you doing..."

Before the question was finished, two soft and fragrant cherry lips were stuck to Lan Xueyi's mouth, and it was Zi Linglong who was hugging her and kissing her

Lan Xueyi blushed for a moment, seeing the same blushing Zi Linglong far away from her face, a layer of light pink appeared on her lips, making her look extraordinarily charming

"Is this the right color?"

Zi Linglong smiled cleverly, Lan Xueyi covered her mouth and couldn't believe what happened just now

When the two reacted, they realized that the people around them were all looking at them.

"Oh, you two really love each other."

The proprietress was very excited to see the two beauties making such an intimate gesture

"Take this box of lip gloss as a wedding gift for you. May you grow old together!"

The proprietress handed over lip balm

Zi Linglong is very happy holding the lip gloss

"Thank you lady boss!"

Lan Xueyi took money out of his sleeve

"Miss Boss, this can't be..."

"Take it, take it"

"Miss Boss, this is..."

The two pushed the money back and forth, while Zi Linglong walked away briskly with her lipstick

"Master, your wife is gone"

The proprietress kindly reminded

Lan Xueyi turned around and didn't see Zi Linglong, so she hurriedly chased after her, looking around, shouting as she searched.

"Linglong! Linglong!"

On a stone bridge not far away, Zi Linglong was standing there, looking at the sparkling water on the river with lights, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling

"The world is so big and so prosperous"

Lan Xueyi saw where Zi Linglong was, rushed over and asked

"Linglong, what are you doing?"

Zi Linglong pointed to a small painting boat covered with lights

"I want to sit in that, I've never sat in, how about you?"

Lan Xueyi also shook his head, saying

“Saw it as a kid but never sat in it”

So the two got off the bridge and got on the boat.

The boat was floating on the river, and the guests sitting with them were eating seafood caught by the fishermen, either stewed or steamed, so Lan Xueyi and the two also joined in the fun and ordered a few dishes for supper

The two drank about two catties of wine, but none of them was drunk

Zi Linglong raises her glass, praise

"As expected of Sister Xueyi, the one who came out of the big camp is a good drinker"

"It's not as good as Linglong, you have a good drinker, as expected from... uh"

Lan Xueyi burped while talking

Zi Linglong smiled happily

"Sister Xueyi, stop making fun of me."

Lan Xueyi Proposal

"Come on, let's do it!"

"it is good!"

The two were about to clink glasses when Zi Linglong stopped

"Wait a minute" she paused for a moment

"What do you want to do again?"

"Sister Xueyi, to celebrate our meeting and also as a farewell tomorrow, I think..."

Zi Linglong hooked Lan Xueyi's arm, looked at her with shining eyes, held up the wine glass

Lan Xueyi looked at the gesture of handing over glasses of wine, not knowing how to describe his mood, a trace of anticipation and a trace of worry, amidst the entanglement of contradictory emotions, the two of them raised their glasses at the same time and drank it all in one gulp

In the courtyard of General Lan's Mansion

Wang Ma was pacing up and down in the yard waiting for the two people to come back, only to see the two people supporting each other, laughing and laughing, still reeking of alcohol

"Oh, look at you two, what are you doing here? You came back so late"

Lan Xueyi hugged Zi Linglong and smiled

"Wang Ma, is the water ready? Hahaha, Linglong and I, take a bath together."

"It's burnt, it's burnt, go wash it, really, drink it like this"

So the two threw their clothes on the floor as they approached the bathroom.

Wang Yuhe chattered while picking up clothes

"Oh, why are these two big girls like this, how decent they are, how decent they are!"

In the bathroom, Zi Linglong wore a satin tube top and sat outside the barrel to wait for Lan Xueyi to take a bath, helping Lan Xueyi wash her long hair

And Lan Xueyi sat in a wooden barrel in a daze

"Linglong, isn't it cold for you to sit outside like this?"

"It's not cold, Linglong waits like this every day."

Zi Linglong leaned close to Lan Xueyi's face and asked softly

"Sister Xueyi, do you want me to wash with you in the bucket too?"

Lan Xueyi blushed when Zi Linglong said that.

"How is it possible?"

The two said something in unison

"This barrel is too small!"

After speaking, both of them were happy

Lan Xueyi turned around and looked at Zi Linglong. The moisture in the bathroom made Zi Linglong even more ethereal. Zi Linglong only had a beautiful and generous Lan Xueyi in her eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time, but no one noticed. A word

"Perhaps, not speaking can express your attitude better than saying anything..."

Lan Xueyi thought so, then stood up from the bathtub, wiped his body, put on his nightgown and went back to the bedroom

A faint oil lamp was lit in the bedroom, as if it was going to be extinguished at any moment, and Lan Xueyi was wrapped in a quilt on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep

Hearing a "squeak", it was the wooden door being pushed open, Lan Xueyi turned around and saw Zi Linglong in a nightgown

"You washed it too?"

"Um……"

"then you……"

"I want to sleep with you, sister Xueyi, is that okay?"

Zi Linglong opened her mouth softly, Lan Xueyi doubted that anyone in the world would reject her after hearing this request

Lan Xueyi's heart was beating, the two people were the same 12 years ago, and they were in the same scene, why did she feel so uneasy in her heart?

"There is a quilt in the cabinet, you can bring another bed"

"Is one bed enough?"

Zi Linglong lifted Lan Xueyi's quilt, got in and hugged Lan Xueyi

"Linglong, you..."

Smelling the fragrance of the person beside her, Lan Xueyi couldn't help turning over and looking at Zi Linglong

"I, I'm not feeling well..."

Lan Xueyi got up

"Where is it uncomfortable? Let me show you"

Zi Linglong frowned and looked at Lan Xueyi worriedly.

Lan Xueyi really couldn't restrain her inner feelings, she wanted to say too much but didn't say it out, she could only turn it into a hug and hugged Zi Linglong

"I hate you to go"

Lan Xueyi was crying, this was probably the second time in her life that she wanted to cry so much

The eyes of Zi Linglong who was being hugged were also filled with tears, which gradually dripped onto Lan Xueyi's nightgown

"Sister Xueyi, how could Linglong be willing to part with you?"

"If I'm born a man, can we be together forever?"

Lan Xueyi asked

Zi Linglong shook her head, and smiled at Lan Xueyi with tears in her eyes

"If you were born a man, then you won't be you, sister Xueyi"

Zi Linglong hugged a pillow, covered her face and wiped her tears

Lan Xueyi snatched the pillow and said reproachfully

"You wiped your nose all over your head, didn't you?"

Zi Linglong smiled through tears, took another pillow and threw it at Lan Xueyi

"Only you would do that?"

The two hugged the pillows and beat each other violently for a long time.

The faint light was finally extinguished in the fierce fight between the two.

The disheveled Lan Xueyi sat on the couch and hugged Zi Linglong, who was also disheveled.

"We played really crazy tonight"

Lan Xueyi raised Zi Linglong's hand and held her slender fingers

Zi Linglong looked at Lan Xueyi

"From tomorrow onwards, I will be a bird in that cage, so I should be crazy."

"exquisite……"

"Sister Xueyi, this is a secret between the two of us."

Zi Linglong raised her head and kissed Lan Xueyi again

Lan Xueyi caressed Zi Linglong's hair, the expression on her face was still immersed in the previous madness

"Linglong, I like you"

Zi Linglong smiled slightly and asked

"Just like it?"

Lan Xueyi was stunned

"I……"

Zi Linglong sat up, and said seriously to Lan Xueyi

"I love you, sister Xueyi, and I will never love anyone else in the future, please keep it a secret for me"

After finishing speaking, Zi Linglong straightened her clothes, opened the door and left

In the room, only Lan Xueyi was left in a daze. She lowered her eyes and hugged her body.

Zi Linglong outside the house has been standing under the waning moon, blowing the cold night wind, dejected

"Lan Xueyi, how could I fall in love with you?"

She looked up at the moon and sighed

The author has something to say:

Thank you for your collection and encouragement, your support is the motivation for me to continue the story

!

Changed it, not for other reasons. After thinking for a long time, I felt that the relationship between the two of them should be beyond all feelings, so I deleted the meat scene. I feel that it should not have too much impact on the following text.
