Wind and Rain Empire

In the room filled with the fragrance of orange, on the bed hung with powder gauze bead curtains, Chen Linlin was sleeping naked under the quilt. She seemed to hear two coughs indistinctly, and she woke up suddenly

At that moment, she realized that she was naked, so she covered the quilt and looked straight ahead. At this time, Cheng Xiang was sitting gracefully in front of the small table and drinking tea with the lid on her cup.

Just when Chen Linlin was feeling puzzled, Cheng Xiang spoke faintly

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, it wasn't a man who did it, I put it on the bed for you"

Chen Linlin puzzled

"You, what have you done to me"

Cheng Xiang's beautiful eyes moved, and she looked at Chen Linlin with a slight smile in her bright eyes

"I didn't do anything, I just added some ingredients to your wine, and then I helped you up."

"Then why am I naked?"

Orange Fragrance Smile

"I replaced it for you"

She walked to Chen Linlin's bed and sat down, stroking Chen Linlin's face

"You know, I also had the same experience back then, but unfortunately I was not as lucky as you. After drinking with others, I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found an old man lying beside me that I had never seen before. "Orange Fragrance paused, stood up

"I threw up as soon as I got out of bed. I hated it so much that I wanted to die. If I hadn't met Cui Gu later and she told me to be careful, I'm afraid I would have passed away long ago."

Chen Linlin continued to hug the quilt and sit on the bed

"I see that Mr. Huang is very afraid of you."

Orange Xiang turned around and smiled

"Huh him? He's not afraid of me, he's afraid of people who like me. I've been in the industry for so long and I've met a lot of people. Among them, there are one or two who particularly like me and he can't afford to mess with him. That's why I started from 18 The reason why I stopped accepting customers since the age of ”

"Then why are you still the top card when you don't accept customers anymore?"

"The headline is the signboard of a store, like an advertisement to attract business, and like that big meal, everyone can see it, but they may not be able to afford it"

Cheng Xiang sat back in front of the bed again, holding Chen Linlin's hand

"Sister Lin'er, listen to my sister's advice, don't trust other people's words, it will hurt you badly. But if there is such a person who can keep all the vows to you and live up to you from beginning to end, such a person is worth it Entrusted, do you understand?"

Chen Linlin looked at Cheng Xiang with tears in her eyes

"Sister Chengxiang, is there such a person in this world?"

Orange Fragrance shook her head and smiled wryly

"My sister doesn't know either, because my sister has lived for so long and hasn't encountered a (turning point) so my sister, if you can't find someone you can trust, then go out on your own, don't be like my sister, you know?"

Chen Linlin nodded half understanding

"Understood, Sister Chengxiang"

Cheng Xiang opens the door and walks out, and meets Cui Gu on the corridor

Cui Gu smiled and asked Cheng Xiang

"Well, what did you say to her?"

Cheng Xiang looked at Cui Gu with disdain

"What else can I say, just tell her to get ahead!"

Cui Gu is smiling

"I promised you that if she wins the top card, you will be free. As long as she is willing to dance to meet the guests, you can leave immediately."

Cheng Xiang let out a long breath, and then her eyes became threatening

"Auntie, you'd better let me go early, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

Cui Gu asked unhappily

"Look at you, how do you say that?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid, why did you kill shopkeeper Jiang? I also saw that you saw Lin'er's parents. If you don't want me to make a public announcement, you should quickly tear up my deed of sale. ,otherwise……"

Cui Gu laughs

"Otherwise? (the face becomes grim) or you will die"

Cui Gu and Cheng Xiang wrestled, and with Cui Gu's push, Cheng Xiang stepped on the ground, and then rolled down the stairs, knocking her head on the carved railing, bleeding from one end, and then died

There was an uproar in the hall of Mingyue Tower, surrounded by screaming girls and deeply regretful gentlemen

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cuigu cried loudly

"Oh, orange fragrance! Orange fragrance!"

She ran downstairs, knelt down on the ground, lay on Cheng Xiang's body and began to cry

Chen Linlin heard the sound and went downstairs and saw Cheng Xiang's body, she was so surprised that she could hardly speak

Cuigu embraced Chen Linlin and cried

"How good this is, our Mingyue Building's top card is gone! From now on, my aunt can only rely on you, Lin'er, my Lin'er!"

At this time, Chen Linlin was in shock and didn't hear what Cuigu was howling.

another funeral

Cui Gu and Chen Linlin help Cheng Xiang to clean up her belongings in Cheng Xiang's room

Cuigu handed Chen Linlin a big wooden box

"Here are all kinds of jewelry that Chengxiang received from the benefactor. She doesn't need them anymore, so I'll give them all to you."

Chen Linlin looked at the wooden box indifferently.

"Let's bury her with her."

Cuigu poked Chen Linlin's head

"I said, Lin'er, are you stupid? These are all valuable things, and they were buried in the ground and given to those local masters for nothing? Take it!" (

So Cuigu forced the big wooden box to Chen Linlin

Renming Hall in the Imperial Palace

Empress Han's personal maid, Chang Qing, ran into the bedroom in small steps

Changqing panted rapidly and lowered her head

"Empress, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you"

Empress Han slowly adjusted her clothes and makeup in front of the mirror, then turned her head and asked

"Who is asking to see? What is the matter?"

Changqing nervous reply

"The slaves don't know each other either, but that person claims to be..."

Empress Han doubts

"You don't even know each other? (Talk to yourself) Who could it be? (Continue to ask Changqing) Then how did she get into the palace?"

evergreen feedback

"That person is holding an imperial gold medal in his hand, saying that she is the righteous daughter conferred by the government and the empress."

Empress Han recalled carefully and became suspicious

"Professed daughter? (laughs) It's really funny, when did the officials and this palace accept her... (Suddenly remembered) Could it be that little girl?"

So she turned to Changqing

"Since she said so, why don't you come in quickly?"

Changqing was about to go out to meet him, Lan Xueyi and Wang Yuhe stepped into the palace gate, Changqing stood aside

Wang Yuhe and Lan Xueyi entered the door, bowed their heads and knelt down after seeing the queen

"The civil woman/adopted daughter pays homage to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old and a thousand years old"

Empress Han looked at Lan Xueyi, who was dressed in men's clothing, and sized her up for a moment. Since the two had never met, they really didn't recognize each other, so Empress Han could only tentatively ask

"Look up, you are..."

Lan Xueyi raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile

"Mother-in-law, this is the first time we meet, I am Lan Xueyi, the daughter of Lan Anguo"

Empress Han was very surprised

"You are that Lan Xueyi? Is it really you?"

She pulled up Lan Xueyi, held Lan Xueyi's arm and looked around

"Why are you dressed like this? You look like a boy. I heard the officials say that you are a beautiful little girl before!"

"Ma'am, because my master doesn't accept women as apprentices, so I disguised myself as a man, but it's much more neat to dress like a man when it comes to practicing martial arts."

Empress Han sighs

"Oh, that's great! You're back. The officials mentioned you to Ben Gong a few days ago, saying that you have been wronged for so long. It's good to be back now!"

The queen turned her head down and saw Wang Yuhe, puzzled, and looked at Lan Xueyi

"Who is this to you? Why are you still kneeling?"

"The stepmother doesn't know, this is my wet nurse, Wang Yuhe Wang Ma, who has been taking care of me for so many years"

Empress Han held out her hand

"Since we are Xue Yi's wet nurse, we are a family, you are welcome, you should get up first."

Wang Yuhe looks up

"Thank you for your kindness (get up)"

"Mother-in-law, I just came to see you for convenience. I haven't informed my father-in-law yet, so I'll go see him right away (turn around and prepare to leave)"

Empress Han grabbed Lan Xueyi who was about to leave

"Wait, don't worry when you come here just now, the official is probably reading the memorial at this hour, so you don't need to go now, you go to the garden with my mother-in-law first, we mother and daughter have a good chat, we will go together later Let's see the official"

Lan Xueyi turned to face Wang Yuhe

"Wang Ma, my stepmother and I will go to the Royal Garden to have a chat, you just wait here, don't come in and out of the palace at will"

Wang Yuhe bowed her head and answered "Yes"

The red lacquered wooden elevated corridor in the imperial garden is about 10 meters high from the East Lake below, and the covered bridge is 5 meters wide. Lan Xueyi and the queen are walking on the covered bridge with a group of maids behind them

Empress Han looked at Lan Xueyi while walking, smiling

"Speaking of which, this is Xueyi's first time entering the harem, right?"

Lan Xueyi smiled embarrassedly

"Yeah, mother-in-law, I never thought that the harem is so big that it would take me a whole day to walk to the garden alone, right?"

Empress Han sighed

"Hey, when I first moved in, I really felt fresh, and I gradually became familiar with it. After staying for decades, looking at the same scenery all day, it is really boring (changing the subject) Hey, Xueyi, you have been away for six years. , I wonder if you have seen any interesting people and things?"

Lan Xueyi shook his head and replied easily

"Back to stepmother, there aren't many interesting things, but Xueyi still met a lot of interesting people"

The queen became interested when she heard it

"Oh? Really? What interesting people are they? Tell your stepmother quickly."

Lan Xueyi pondered for a while, then looked at the Queen

"Mother-in-law Rong Xueyi said slowly..."

The three concubines, Concubine De and Concubine, were chatting on the path by the East Lake. Concubine De caught a glimpse of the Queen and Lan Xueyi walking on the covered bridge.

Concubine De excitedly patted the concubine as if seeing the big news

"Look, two sisters! Who is the queen with?"

The other two concubines poked their heads to check, and they saw the queen covering her mouth and laughing at what Lan Xueyi said

Concubine De stared at Lan Xueyi, surprised

"Oh! That boy is so handsome!"

The imperial concubine also followed the trend

"Hey, it's true!"

But she stopped immediately and asked suspiciously.

"No, why did the queen bring a man in? Which family's prince is this?"

Concubine Xian looked around and sighed

"My sister has said this to the two younger sisters several times. You should stop in your mouth for a while, pass your brain first, and don't just say it with your mouth."

She looked at Lan Xueyi

"As soon as this person entered the palace gate, I heard people say that that person is not a man, but a foster daughter adopted by the official family earlier."

Concubine De asked Concubine Xiang Xian puzzledly

"The adopted daughter of the official family? Why did the official family accept the adopted daughter? Why haven't we sisters heard of it?"

The imperial concubine nodded, and looked at the concubine Xian puzzledly.

Concubine Xian looked at the red flowers and willows in the East Lake, feeling emotional

"It's a long story. It happened six years ago. I just entered the palace at that time. My sisters don't know where they are yet. Where did they hear about it?"

imperial concubine asked

"How did my sister know?"

"Back then, I was just a talented person. I listened to other people's left and right words. At that time, I still thought how this person was so lucky that he could become the daughter of the emperor. But now think about it. It's not worth it"

Concubine De took over

"How do you say this?"

"I heard that she was still the prime minister's daughter at that time, and dozens of members of her family were killed by gangsters overnight, leaving only her and her nurse, helpless, so the officials took pity on and named her a righteous daughter."

The concubine was surprised

"Dozens of mouths? Doesn't she become an orphan?"

"Isn't it? If you get a princess in this way, it's not worth it."

Concubine De asked, "Does my sister know why she dresses like a man?"

Concubine Xian shook her head

"I really don't know why this palace is. I only know that she resigned from the government's special reward to enter the palace and went back to her hometown with her nurse."

Concubine De took a few steps and said

"Then if I change my palace, I will definitely want to stay in the palace, so I won't go outside the palace to suffer and suffer."

The concubine smiled, with a slightly mocking tone

"That's because you're lazy"

By the lakeside of the East Lake, Chenfeng, the little prince born to the concubine Xian, was standing by and playing a ball. The second prince Yichen, born to the empress, and Zhang Tiancheng, a member of Zhang Haisheng's family, were fishing by the lake. Princess Yongping, who was also born to the empress, was on the shore. while playing

The second prince and Zhang Tiancheng threw a peach to float on the water, then set up a rope trap by the lake, and then the second prince winked at Zhang Tiancheng

Zhang Tiancheng pointed to the water not far away

"Princess, look what that is!"

Princess Yongping looked in the direction and couldn't help but be overjoyed

"Ah! That's my princess's favorite peach! You go and get it for my princess!"

The second prince is smiling

"Yongping, you are stupid, that stuff is not what we like to eat, why should we fetch it for you, you fetch it yourself"

Princess Yongping rolled up her sleeves, unconvinced

"Hmph, I take it myself, what's the big deal?"

Yongping wades into the water, Taozi circles in place, Yongping swims in the water chasing after him, but she really can't catch it, so she climbs up to the shore and steps into the trap set by the second prince and Zhang Tiancheng Among

The second prince and Zhang Tiancheng pulled and pressed the rope vigorously, and hung Yongping from a tree by the lake.

Princess Yongping shouted loudly

"Help! Help! Come on! Help!"

The second prince and Zhang Tiancheng hugged their stomachs and laughed

Zhang Tiancheng walked up to Princess Yongping and pointed at her

"Who told you to call me Dumpty? You deserve it!"

As soon as Zhang Tiancheng let go, Princess Yongping descended and almost fell into the water, and then she was brought up again by Zhang Tiancheng

"Now you know how powerful I am, Zhang Tiancheng, right? Call me a hero and let you go!"

The second prince booed, "Yes, call him Daxia! Call him Daxia!"

Princess Yongping cried

"Fatty! You are looking for death, you! Help, help!"

The cry of Princess Yongping alarmed everyone on the bridge and by the lake, but because they were too far away, they were helpless and could only worry about it.

The queen lay on the bridge and waited and saw Yongping on the lake. She was taken aback and shouted loudly.

"Ping'er? Ping'er!!! Second prince? Second prince! Yichen, put your sister down!"

After hearing this, Lan Xueyi quickly caught sight of Princess Yongping, then stepped on the railing of the covered bridge and flew out, stepping on the water and taking Princess Yongping away with a rope

The second prince was dragged loose and sat on the ground. Zhang Tiancheng flew out with the rope and hit a tree with his head. He fell with a "bang" and his head was bleeding.

After Lan Xueyi hugged Princess Yongping and landed on the ground, the queen came running out of breath and hugged Princess Yongping

The queen hugged Princess Yongping anxiously, and asked slightly angrily

"What are you kid doing with those bastards? It really worries the queen mother to death!"

The maid brought the little prince, the second prince and Zhang Tiancheng to see the queen, and Concubine Xian and other concubines also ran over

Concubine Xian hurriedly hugged the little prince and asked him anxiously, calling out his nickname.

"Is Chuan'er okay? Didn't anyone get hurt?"

The little prince shook his head with a look of ignorance.

Lan Xueyi grabbed Zhang Tiancheng's clothes and threw them on the ground

Lan Xueyi pointed at Zhang Tiancheng and cursed

"That's what the bear boy did"

The queen held back her temper that was about to explode, and asked around

"Whose child is this? How did he get into the imperial garden?"

The garden eunuch replied

"My lord, this child is Zhang Tiancheng, the eldest son of Zhang Haisheng, who is a member of the political affairs committee."

The queen scolded the eunuch in a harsh tone

"How did he get in here?"

The eunuch guarding the garden hesitated, "This...slave (looks at the second prince)"

queen angry

"Don't tell me soon!"

The garden guard eunuch knelt down with a plop, and with a trembling voice

"Yes...it was brought in by the second prince, he said...it was his...his friend!"

The second prince threatened the eunuch

"Wow, you actually confessed to me, you are courting death!"

the queen flew into a rage

"You actually broke the palace rules because of a child's words, dragged down and punished fifty times, just to make a warning to others!"

The eunuch guarding the garden was taken away by other guards and shouted

"Empress Empress, I am wronged, I am wronged!"

The queen then turned to the second prince

"Yichen, do you know where you went wrong?"

The second prince pouted

"My son is not wrong. What's wrong with me bringing friends in to play? This is our own garden, what's wrong?"

The queen immediately slapped the second prince

"Do you still dare to talk back? If you say no, you can't. If you bring your friends next time, then you don't want to enter!"

Concubine Xian stepped forward to hold the queen

"Sister, the child is still young, don't break it, it's fine if you try to persuade him, it's his fault, it really isn't his fault"

The queen's expression softened a little, and to Concubine Xian

"Tell me that this kid has been disobedient since he was very young, and he will be fine when he grows up? Today's slap is to teach him a lesson, let's see if he has a long memory in the future."

Then, she looked at Zhang Tiancheng

"And you kid, go home quickly, and you will never step into the imperial garden again, do you hear me?"

Zhang Tiancheng stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and walked away holding his bleeding head

The Queen gently hugged Princess Yongping, and looked at Lan Xueyi

"Ping'er, why don't you thank you sister Xueyi for saving your life?"

Princess Yongping saluted, "Thank you sister Xueyi for saving my life!"

Lan Xueyi helped Princess Yongping up

"Where is the princess sister, it's just my effort."

Princess Yongping looked at Lan Xueyi carefully, and then asked the Queen

"Queen, is this really my sister?"

The queen smiled, "It's my sister, that's right, that's what I call it"

Lan Xueyi chuckled

"If the princess sister thinks it's easy to call her brother, that's fine too."

As soon as the words came out, everyone around was amused, and the virtuous concubine, noble concubine and concubine De concubine entered the state of watching a play

The queen salutes Lan Xueyi

"Thanks to Xue Yi, you are here today, otherwise I don't know what troubles will happen"

Lan Xueyi quickly helped the queen up

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing? Didn't you break the snow clothes?"

The three concubines also bowed their heads when they saw the queen salute

"I'm going to report this matter to the officials now, and let the officials thank you well." The queen patted Lan Xueyi's hand

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"You don't need step-mother, this little effort is nothing, Yongping is my younger sister, why are you being so polite?"
