Wind and Rain Empire

Purple Cloud Pavilion in the Imperial Palace

Hong Wan changed out of her old earth-colored uniform, and put on a brand new lavender maid outfit, and walked into Zi Linglong's bedroom, where she saw layer upon layer of crystal bead curtains and gauze. everything is hazy, and Zi Linglong is half lying on the couch, wearing a long purple gauze skirt, opening her eyes and sniffing the fragrance of misty smoke, fanning gently with her round fan.

Hong Wan looked at Zi Linglong, and didn't know what kind of temperament this master was, so she swallowed her saliva worriedly, and walked slowly towards Zi Linglong

Then she knelt down and said

"Slave Hong Wan, pay homage to Empress Zhaorong"

Zi Linglong raised her eyes lazily

"Get up and sit next to me"

Seeing the fan she was holding lightly patted the couch, Hong Wan stood up and carefully sat beside Zi Linglong, for fear of breaking her into pieces.

Zi Linglong flicked her fan casually, and reached out to Hongwan

"Give me a hand"

Hong Wan gently lifted Zi Linglong up, Zi Linglong felt dizzy with her left hand, and fell into Hong Wan's arms

As an indescribable fragrance wafted in, Hong Wan gasped, her eyes were restless, and she monologues in her heart.

"This... is probably what people often say is warm and fragrant nephrite."

Zi Linglong looked at Hong Wan in a daze

"It's probably because the fragrance has been smoked for a long time. Bengong is a little dizzy now and wants to rest. Please help me change clothes."

Hong Wan replied without thinking.

"Yes, Empress Zhaorong"

But it didn't take long to react, looking at the long gauze skirt on Zi Linglong's body, she was stunned.

"But isn't that the pajamas you're wearing?"

Zi Linglong stroked Hong Wan's head and smiled

"Silly boy, this is not pajamas, this is a bathrobe after bathing, and the pajamas are in the cabinet by the wall"

Hong Wan went to get her pajamas, and changed into Zi Linglong's

After changing, Zi Linglong was already lying on the couch, whispering to Hong Wan

"There is a bottle of red rejuvenating cream in the drawer of the dressing table in Bengong, you can use it."

Hong Wan took out the red bottle from the drawer, unscrewed the lid, and then smelled a strong fragrance, so strong that she felt that it was inappropriate to rub it on her face.

So I just walked to Zi Linglong's couch and saluted

"Thank you, Empress Zhaorong, for the reward"

Zi Linglong turned over while half asleep and looked at her

"You try to wipe it first"

"This……"

Hong Wan hesitated, and Zi Linglong also knew that Hong Wan didn't fully trust her, so she got up lazily, took the bottle, took some cream, and gently rubbed it on Hong Wan's scar

Facing such a beauty in front of her, Hong Wan felt unbelievable, thinking to herself

"What kind of parents does a person want, and what kind of things have he experienced to be so beautiful..."

Zi Linglong couldn't help laughing when she saw Hongwan looking at her in a bewildered manner

"What are you looking at?"

"The maidservant is just thinking, my lady, you are really gentle and beautiful"

Zi Linglong continued to gently rub Hongwan's face, asking

"Isn't Concubine Chen pretty?"

Hong Wan lowered her eyes

"She can't compare to you"

Zi Linglong stopped her movements, closed the bottle tightly and handed it back to Hong Wan

"Remember to apply this every day, and it will be fine soon, for sure"

"Thank you Madam Zhaorong"

"I'm tired, you should go down and rest first."

"Yes, ma'am"

After the words fell, Zi Linglong slowly fell on the couch, Hong Wan stepped forward to cover her with the quilt

Hong Wan was about to leave Zi Linglong's bedroom when she suddenly felt a burning pain on her face, as if she had applied Chaotianjiao water to her face. The face slowly waited for the pain to pass. After a while, the pain gradually became itchy. She quickly took her hands off her face and ran to look in the mirror. The scar had disappeared. She touched her face in surprise and looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror Own

"It turns out that this is really a rejuvenating cream. There is such a magical thing in the world."

Hong Wan turned her head, looked at Zi Linglong who was sleeping soundly on the couch, thought for a while and left

While Zi Linglong was on the couch, she opened one eye and saw that Hong Wan had left, so she sat up

"Hong Wan, Hong Wan, teaching by example is worse than preaching. I have taught you so personally. You have to learn a little bit, and don't let down my painstaking efforts."

Next morning

Lan Xueyi walked into the Ziyun Pavilion in court clothes, and she didn't see anyone who was paying attention to her. She poured tea and sat down to eat as if she was at home. Zi Linglong entered from the back hall with Hong Wan, and saw After Lan Xueyi got excited, he ran towards Lan Xueyi with small steps

"Xueyi, you are here!"

Hong Wan herself was very surprised when she saw Lan Xueyi for the first time, thinking to herself

"Yeah? Why did this man enter the harem?"

Zi Linglong hugged Lan Xueyi's neck neatly, which was rare, and sat on Lan Xueyi's lap

Hong Wan was even more taken aback when she saw it, and stared at Zi Linglong's actions with wide eyes.

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong's behavior slightly surprised

"Huh? What happened to you today? Why are you so excited?"

Zi Linglong glanced at Hong Wan, and acted like a baby to Lan Xueyi

"I miss you!"

Then she spoke loudly on purpose

"My loneliness for many days can't be resolved. Seeing you is like seeing the sun rising slowly, and my heart is warmed by it."

Lan Xueyi squinted at her and smiled

"Oh? Really? Who are you listening to when you speak so loudly?"

She remained calm, holding a cup and continuing to drink tea

Zi Linglong is still hugging Lan Xueyi

"Don't tell anyone, just tell you. If you don't speak louder, it won't be affectionate enough (turning point) Why are you free to come to me today?"

Lan Xueyi put down the teacup

"It was my adoptive father who asked me to come to see you. He said that tomorrow is the martial arts competition. I hope you can show your skills at the banquet and amaze everyone. He is currently in a meeting with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so he is very busy. Come here empty, let me send a message (looks at Hong Wan) who is this little girl? Is your foster father a maid for you?"

Zi Linglong turned her head to look at Hong Wan

"Her, be it (to Hongwan), you haven't met the general yet, have you? This is the adopted daughter of the official family, and also the imperial court-appointed general Dingyuan Lan Xueyi, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

Only then did Hong Wan react, thinking

"Oh, it turned out to be a female general."

So he bowed and saluted Lan Xueyi

"The servant has met the general, the general is blessed"

Lan Xueyi looked at Hong Wan with great interest, raised his hand and said,

"Mianli (to Zi Linglong), you have to take care of such a handsome little girl, otherwise you will say that you are free."

Zi Linglong grabbed Lan Xueyi's face

"I remember you saying I was pretty the first time you saw me, honestly, don't you say that to every girl?"

"Hey, sister Linglong, to say you are beautiful is to flatter you. How can I say that to every girl? Besides, what I said is the truth, can't I?"

Zi Linglong turned to pinch Lan Xueyi's chin

"From today onwards, you are only allowed to look at me, not other girls. You are only allowed to praise me for being beautiful, and you are not allowed to praise other girls for being beautiful. Do you know that?"

Lan Xueyi gently opened Zi Linglong's hand

"Hey, you took the wrong medicine today, what did you say?"

Zi Linglong frowned at Lan Xueyi and shook her head gently

Lan Xueyi seemed to realize what Zi Linglong was implying, so she cooperatively pulled the back of Zi Linglong's hand and kissed it

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I just like you, okay? Everyone in the world is ugly, and you are the most beautiful. I am so fascinated by you, is it enough?"

Zi Linglong nodded, quietly raised her thumbs up to indicate that Lan Xueyi did a good job

"Well, that's right"

Lan Xueyi then asked

"But don't try to change the subject. Have you regressed in your piano and dancing skills? Is one day enough for you to practice?"

Zi Linglong slapped Lan Xueyi's arm coquettishly

"Oh, how long have you known me, can't you trust me?"

"Okay, okay, I can believe it, I believe it~ I have~ passed~!"

Lan Xueyi also followed suit and kissed Zi Linglong on the cheek, taking advantage of her

Hong Wan looked at the two with embarrassment, not knowing what the two were doing

Royal Garden Stone Bridge

Lan Xueyi and Zi Linglong walked on the bridge, Zi Linglong hugged Lan Xueyi's arm, Hong Wan didn't follow

After hearing Zi Linglong's whisper, Lan Xueyi was shocked

"What? You said you wanted to train Hong Wan to be the second you?"

Zi Linglong stretched out her finger and pointed towards Lan Xueyi.

"Hush! What are you doing, you? Keep your voice down!"

Lan Xueyi asked in a low voice

"Why do you want to train her? She was not born by you"

"Oh my god, my good sister! Do I have to be born to cultivate me?"

Lan Xueyi poked Zi Linglong on the head

"You, it's safe to ignore each other in the harem, and you still want to train her? Aren't you afraid that she will become your archenemy and confront you in the future?"

Zi Linglong gently took Lan Xueyi's hand

"Oh, you only know how to deploy soldiers on the battlefield, and you don't understand the affairs of the harem. (Explanation) I'm asking you to be a man and I'm a woman. Precepts and deeds, subtly, let her understand how ordinary men and women get along. Only then can we love each other and respect each other as guests.”

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong in disbelief

"Ordinary men and women? The two of us? How do you think it's unqualified? First of all, it's you. How can a normal woman look like you? It's obvious that you want to cheat money and sex."

"Go, what's wrong with me, who would cheat money and sex?"

Lan Xueyi crossed her arms and looked at Zi Linglong with a little worry.

"And I also know that I am not an ordinary woman, let alone an ordinary man. Will you mislead her children by teaching her like this?"

Zi Linglong's wishful thinking

"No, no, she is useful to me"

Lan Xueyi held up Zi Linglong's hands, and the two looked at each other

"Linglong, you are the most cherished person in this world, you promise me not to do anything that might hurt yourself, you understand?"

Zi Linglong's clear eyes looked at Lan Xueyi

"Sister Xueyi, don't worry, I will be cautious in the harem, and I will never put myself in danger."

"What I worry about is not that you put yourself in danger, but that you simply want to put yourself in danger, and you always feel that you are going to do something unimaginable to ordinary people"

"Ah? Am I acting so obvious?" Zi Linglong was a little suspicious

"It's not obvious, but I know you"

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong seriously

Concubine Shu and Concubine De passed under the covered bridge opposite, and saw Zi Linglong and Lan Xueyi talking on the bridge

Concubine De looked at the two and shook her head

"Oh, tsk tsk tsk, you're showing off your affection again."

Concubine Shu looked at Concubine De incomprehensibly

"Hey, you didn't hear what they were saying, how do you know they are in love? Besides, aren't they two good sisters?"

Concubine De shook her finger at Concubine Shu

"You, you are too simple! How can there be a pair of good sisters, one man is like that, and the other is like that? They must be something..."

"Then what? What is that?"

De Fei whispered

"Right food! You idiot"

Concubine Shu waved her hands and said in firm disbelief

"Impossible, sister Zhaorong... (whispering to Concubine De) I heard from her palace people that she likes to flirt with officials. What is she doing? Besides, one of their sisters is in the palace and the other is in the palace." Frontiers, places that are far away from each other, where we don’t see each other for months or even years, it will be very difficult to maintain that kind of relationship, hey!”

Concubine Shu sighed

Concubine De beat Concubine Shu

"Eh? I said what are you feeling!"

Concubine Shu pouted

"I just thought about it. If I were Sister Zhaorong but I like General Lan and don't like officials, but I still have to force a smile in front of officials, tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel miserable, that kind of sympathy So I surged up (turning, rubbing my stomach), what should I do, I seem to be a little hungry again..."

Defei thinks it's funny

"What sympathy? I guess you're just hungry."
