Wind and Rain Empire

Mianxian Market Guilai Inn

Lan Xueyi took a lot of effort to choose a set of women's clothes to put on, and sat in a room on the top floor of the inn. There was a long bench at the door, and there were a few young masters waiting in line for the interview.

Xiao Si waited on the pen and ink, looked at Lan Xueyi and asked

"General, your outfit looks so strange, it's not as natural as when you went to Xixia before."

"Are you referring to the fact that General Ben didn't stuff the steamed buns?"

"No no no no no..."

Little Four hurriedly explained

"I feel that the general doesn't seem to have painted on, and there is less color on his face"

"Hey, since it's a blind date, it must be to meet each other honestly. Are they here to meet General Ben or that pile of makeup?"

Xiao Si was at a loss for words for a while and felt that it made sense, so he quickly cupped his hands and stopped talking

Lan Xueyi sat at the table, looked at the man who walked in and sat directly opposite her, and asked

"Please report your name, age, occupation, outlook for the future and requirements for marriage partners"

Sitting next to Lan Xueyi, Xiaosi took a pen and dipped in ink to make written records

Man 1 arched his hands and answered politely

"Xiaosheng's surname is Tang, his name is Sheng, and his surname is Bowen. He is twenty-one years old. He is engaged in calligraphy and painting business. His father is a good friend of Mr. Liang, the magistrate. In the future, he hopes to develop in the capital. women are most suitable”

Lan Xueyi looked away and pursed her lips, her inner monologue

"Then why did you come to me for an interview? Are you looking for a fight?"

The words must not be spoken, so she turned to the man.

"Well, we have recorded your information, you go back and wait for the news, once you are hired, you will be notified"

Man 1 got up and bowed

"Thank you"

then backed off

Xiao Si looked at the man's back and looked at Lan Xueyi.

"General, this first man's literary quality is so high, the next one may be even more interesting."

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"What is there to see? Are there any types of men in the military camp? I'm tired of looking at it (calling outside the door) next!"

Man 2 walked into the room in military uniform, sat down, and looked at everything around him with disdain

Lan Xueyi asked the man 2

"Report your name, age, occupation, outlook for the future and requirements for your marriage partner"

Man 2 speaks neatly

"My name is Wu Xi, age is 28, I'm a professional general. I don't have any prospects for the future. I'll fight hard to protect my family and protect my country's prosperity and wealth. Those who are married can help me best. If you can't help me, give me seven boys and eight girls."

Lan Xueyi couldn't help but had a monologue

"You got the wrong guy"

she asked man 2

"Your Excellency is Yuanwai Wu's nephew, right?"

Wu Xi looked at Lan Xueyi

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Lan Xueyi laughed

"Your cousin Wu Xiuxiu looks so beautiful, with a mighty cousin like you, don't you guys get married?"

Wu Xi asked suspiciously

"When did you meet my cousin Wu Xiuxiu?"

"Just the day she threw the hydrangea"

Little Four hastily interjected to explain

"Our general even picked her hydrangea."

Wu Xi surprised

"What? (To Lan Xueyi) You took my cousin's hydrangea? Why?"

Lan Xueyi punched Xiaosi

"Tell you to talk too much (look at Wu Xi) Misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, this general just happened to pass by"

Wu Xi muttered softly

"It's no wonder that Xiuxiu has been reluctant to throw the hydrangea for a long time now, probably because she is afraid of throwing it to someone who doesn't understand it again (looks at Lan Xueyi) Your proposal is very good, I will go to my uncle to propose marriage (stand up, leave)"

Xiao Si watched Wu Xi leave, and asked Lan Xueyi

"General, why is this man like this? You just mentioned him and he went to find someone else."

Lan Xueyi stretched out her finger and nodded.

"Xiao Si, this person is cunning, I hope he will not hold an important position in the future, otherwise it will be a disaster for the country."

"General, you didn't say that because the other party didn't want to marry you, did you?"

Lan Xueyi finds it funny

"Me? Am I that kind of person? (Shouting out the door) Next!"

Zhang Tiancheng put on a hat and a beard, and walked into the house. Lan Xueyi and Xiao Si looked at Zhang Tiancheng suspiciously.

He sat at the table and asked Lan Xueyi

"Why do you two keep staring at me?"

Lan Xueyi has already seen through

"It's because I think your Excellency looks like a person who deserves to be beaten."

Zhang Tiancheng stroked his hair

"Really? This shows that I have a great relationship with the general."

Lan Xueyi's inner monologue

"With such a crappy change of clothes, I am ashamed to come to the interview (to Zhang Tiancheng) and report my name, age, occupation, and talk about my vision for the future and my requirements for a marriage partner."

Zhang Tiancheng's inner monologue

"Oops, I forgot to think of my name again (to Lan Xueyi), my name is Cheng...Cheng..."

Lan Xueyi laughed

"Isn't it a fairy?"

Zhang Tiancheng was startled and almost stood up

"You, you actually saw it?"

Lan Xueyi tore off Zhang Tiancheng's hat

"You think we are blind?"

She stretched out her hand to grab Zhang Tiancheng, and grabbed his beard

Zhang Tiancheng touched the sticky beard's chin

"Hey, hey, it hurts! It hurts!"

Lan Xueyi grabbed Zhang Tiancheng's collar across the table

"How dare you call it hurt? Are you on vacation today? How dare you run out of the camp without permission"

Zhang Tiancheng was nervous, turned around and wanted to flee

"I, I, am on vacation tomorrow"

Lan Xueyi kicked Zhang Tiancheng on the back

"You're on vacation tomorrow and you ran out today?"

Zhang Tiancheng was kicked to the partition of the room, and knocked down the partition, causing dust to rise all over the floor, and everyone waiting in line was frightened to stand up

He yelled at the people waiting in line

"This wicked woman is going to beat someone up!"

Lan Xueyi pointed at Zhang Tiancheng and Xiaosi

"And hit him with a 20 army stick, write it down!"

Zhang Tiancheng hurriedly yelled at the people waiting in line

"Look, there are still 20 army sticks per person!"

After saying that, he stood up and ran, and the people waiting in line for the interview scattered in fright.

Lan Xueyi sat back in his seat and shouted towards the door

"Next!"

Seeing that no one came for a long time, Xiao Si went out to check, only to find that there was no one in the corridor

Little Four retracted into the house

"General, there is no one left"

"That's how many?"

"Not only that, it seems that Zhang Tiancheng scared me away"

Lan Xueyi stood up angrily

"It's another good thing he did!"

She looked down from the window of the house and saw Zhang Tiancheng running with a group of people

Lan Xueyi put her hair up in a row, pulled off the dress to reveal a military uniform, threw the dress behind her, opened the window and jumped upstairs

Xiao Si lay on the window looking at Lan Xueyi and sighed

"Tsk tsk tsk, how did this happen?"

Lan Xueyi chased after him and saw Zhang Tiancheng running out of breath. He casually took a clay pot from the pottery booth next to him, aimed in the direction where Zhang Tiancheng was running, and threw the pot with all his strength. Bang" hit Zhang Tiancheng's head and shattered, Zhang Tiancheng was knocked unconscious and fell unconscious

Lan Xueyi took out a small piece of broken silver from his belt, and casually threw it to the owner of the pottery stall.

The pottery vendor yelled at Lan Xueyi

"General, it's not so much, I haven't changed the money yet!"

Lan Xueyi ignored it at all, and walked straight towards Zhang Tiancheng

Not long after, Xiaosi caught up on his horse, ran in front of the two of them, jumped off the horse, looked at Zhang Tiancheng, and asked Lan Xueyi

"General, what's wrong with Zhang Tiancheng?"

Lan Xueyi pointed at Zhang Tiancheng on the ground

"He ran too fast and had a stroke"

Xiaosi looked at Lan Xueyi in disbelief

"Huh? Really? Can this also cause a stroke?"

"Let's take it as it is, you can carry him back, you can't let him be ashamed in the market."

Palace Honglingxuan

Hong Wan is making "Earth Fire" in the house, humming a ditty while doing it

The emperor came quietly and opened the gauze curtain, looked at Hong Wan, and coughed twice

Hong Wan followed the sound and saw that it was the emperor, she approached and saluted

"The courtiers and concubines don't know that the official's house has arrived, so they are far away to welcome them"

The emperor smiled kindly

"I didn't want to disturb you, so I asked the palace servants not to report. What are you doing?"

Hong Wan clapped her hands

"Back to the official's house, the concubine is doing... (hesitating) doing handicrafts. I have nothing to do. Let's make some gadgets to pass the time."

The emperor pointed to Hongwan's workbench

"Then what kind of craft needs this gunpowder?"

"Uh... you need all the firecrackers and fireworks. Why are the officials so free today?"

The emperor walks around the room with his hands behind his back, looking around the room

"I thought you were promoted to beauty, and it must be very lonely to be separated from Linglong, so I came to accompany you"

Hong Wan stepped forward and snuggled into the arms of the emperor

"Thank you, Hong Wan, for your understanding, the officials have treated Hong Wan very well."

The emperor's hand gently caressed Hong Wan's hair

"Let's go, beauty and I go to the garden together."

In the imperial garden

On the left side of the stone bridge, Zi Linglong was wandering with her maid, on the right side was the concubine Xian who had lifted the ban, chatting with Xia Yu, and the emperor and Hong Wan were walking on the corridor beside the stone bridge.

Zi Linglong and her maid walked up to the stone bridge, and they greeted the concubine Xian, master and servant,

Zi Linglong was surprised at first, then immediately laughed and said

"Sister Xianfei, Wanfu, I haven't seen you for a month. Sister Xianfei is getting better and better. Maybe she eats persimmon crab?"

Concubine Xian didn't like it, she monologues in her heart

"You little bitch, don't be complacent"

she also laughed

"I don't eat persimmon crabs, my sister doesn't need to keep mentioning those things, it's all in the past, we all have to look forward"

Zi Linglong glanced at the red star in the distance, her inner monologue

"Concubine Xian doesn't seem to have seen the official family coming, why don't I play it today"

Zi Linglong kept smiling at Concubine Xian, deliberately provocatively said:

"Forgive my sister for being rude, to be honest, from what my sister sees, I can't see what else to see in front of my sister."

Concubine Xian's long-suppressed anger was ignited

"Bold!"

She slapped Zi Linglong across the face

"Sister, you are too rude, sister will teach you a lesson today"

Zi Linglong covered her face to Concubine Xian

"Sister, sister, I'm just telling the truth, why did you do it?"

She also slapped Concubine Xian back with a "slap"

"This is for your sister"

Seeing Zi Linglong being slapped by Concubine Xian, Hong Wan immediately told the emperor

"Officials, on the opposite bridge, it seems that sister Xianfei had a dispute with Zi Zhaorong."

emperor surprised

"Oh? Really? Let me have a look."

Hong Wan and the Emperor leave the covered bridge

Concubine Xian looked at Zi Linglong, filled with anger, pointed at her and shouted

"How dare you commit the following offense!"

Zi Linglong also returned the words without mercy

"You, a murderer, are worthy of being 'on'? The fact that the officials haven't punished you doesn't mean you can get away with it!"

Concubine Xian became angry from embarrassment

"You! You spitting blood!"

She stepped forward and grabbed Zi Linglong's neck

Zi Linglong was about to push Concubine Xian away, but she was far less powerful than the angry Concubine Xian, so she had to call for help

"Come on!"

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Zi Linglong's maid ran away anxiously for help, and happened to bump into the emperor under the stone bridge

the emperor asked sharply

"Which palace are you from? Where are you going to go?"

The maid answered eagerly

"The maidservant is from Zizhaorong Palace. The empress Zhaorong was pinched by the concubine Xian (kneeling down, anxiously) begging the officials to save the empress Zhaorong!!!"

The emperor said angrily

"It's unreasonable, two concubines are fighting in the harem, it's really embarrassing! (Walking up the stone bridge quickly, shouting to Concubine Xian) Stop!"

Concubine Xian withdrew her hand immediately after hearing the voice, and looked at the emperor

"Courts and concubines meet officials"

Zi Linglong was pinched so badly that she fell to the ground, Hong Wan immediately stepped forward to help her

Emperor blames Concubine Xian

"You have simply wasted the title I bestowed on you. You are not virtuous at all, not only unvirtuous, but also a prudish shrew. Once others don't follow your wishes, you will retaliate in various ways. Look at your What is it like to be pinched?"

Panting, Zi Linglong said,

"Officials, it was Linglong who spoke inappropriately and offended Concubine Xian, please don't blame Concubine Xian."

The emperor looked at Zi Linglong distressedly

"Linglong, you don't have to speak up for her, you're almost killed by her"

Concubine Xian pointed at Zi Linglong

"Well, you Zi Linglong, you are still pretending to be pitiful in front of the officials, officials, do you know that this Zhaorong owes a lesson at all, the concubine just slapped her, how dare she..."

"Shut up! If you say anything else, I'll get the hell out of here and live in the cold palace!"

As soon as the emperor said this, the hearts of all the people present "thumped"

When YouQi Hong Wan heard this, she was so shocked that she didn't know how to deal with it, she just monologue in her heart

"Concubine Xian, you can't go to Lenggong, there may be a corpse of Concubine Chen there, if you go, I will be found out, I can't let you go"

So she immediately knelt down

"Official family, Concubine Xian just got angry because she was confined for too long, she didn't mean it. She is the concubine of the official family after all, and she has raised princes for the official family. There is hard work even if there is no credit. The official family should not treat the concubine Xian angry"

The emperor looked redly and said to the concubine Xian

"Look at the beauties who come out of Zhaorong Palace know to plead for you, but you don't know what to do. If so, I will remove your post as a virtuous concubine and demote you to Jieyu, let's live in Lingyao Terrace."

Concubine Hyun tries to plead for herself, shouting

"Official!"

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to say anything more, pack up and move over there"

Concubine Xian looked at Hong Wan, flicked her sleeves and left angrily
