After rebirth, White Lotus forced her husband to be a good man

Chapter 60: A slight difference, a mistake, a thought of chaos, a step into the abyss

Piaohonglou in the early morning is a bit less charming than at night.

At that time, Boss Xi was sitting in front of the round table, holding melon seeds in one fleshy hand, with a look of surprise on her face. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the banknotes on the table, then raised her head to look at the person in front of her. "Miss Lan, I'm not taking good care of you here? Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Lan Zhiruo curled her lips slightly, raised her eyes to look at her, and said softly, "Mommy, the trouble I've been having for so many days is just because I haven't found a suitable place to live. I really like this place in the capital. Originally, I just came here to take a short rest, but now I can’t leave here. Why am I so embarrassed to bother you here all the time? "

She lowered her eyes and looked down at the 1000-tael banknote, stretched out her slender hand, stuffed the banknote into Boss Xi's palm, and lowered her voice slightly, "I will never forget your care for me, Li Qing." There’s a lot of affection.”

Boss Na Xi's raised eyebrows moved slightly, and he stuffed the banknote into his sleeve with a smile. He raised his hand to hold the flower fan on the table and fanned it slowly, "The little lady has an extraordinary background and only lives in wealth. But Don't say it's from my place. My Piaohonglou raises all idle people, and capable people don't dare to raise them. These days, I only have one head."

Lanzhiruo raised his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes a little deeper, with a sly flash in his eyes, then he narrowed his eyes sweetly and smiled, loosening his hold on her hand, "If you want to know where I am, go outside and ask. Ask, who knows that there is a woman named Lan Zhiruo in Piaohonglou. Wherever I go, I dare not throw away this reputation. When good things happen, they must be brought with your cultivation. Besides, what can I do? I am just a person who plays the piano and sings music, but you really look up to me."

After saying that, she stood up and waited for the two maids upstairs to bring down their luggage. She walked past Boss Xi with a half-smile on her face, with a murderous look in her charming eyes.

When she sat on the plain sedan at the door, the maid carrying the luggage whispered beside Lan Zhiruo, "There is news in the palace. There will be a draft in front of the emperor on the seventh day of July, and she will enter the Academy of Talents at the end of June. The identity of the lady has been prepared, and the potential The granddaughter of Mr. Yunzhibeard of the Buddhist Academy in Jian County is temporarily staying in the capital. This is the greeting from the princess. The palace has sent people to take care of it. The lady’s house is on Zhengyang Street. Qin Wuhou’s Mansion is more than a hundred steps to the left, and the plaque gate is :Landi Yayuan.”

Lan Zhiruo nodded, a flash of worry flashing in his eyes, "Does the portrait I asked you to find have any features?"

The maid's expression darkened slightly, "Not yet. After the Lan family case, all the portraits of Queen Lanji were burned. I have sent people [-] miles to Rongguo in a hurry. I have turned back recently. My wife is waiting. Good news."

Lanzhiruo took a deep breath and looked up at the busy streets in the distance.This move is a risky move, and the bet is on the heart of the emperor.If she can successfully pass the eighteenth election and be promoted to concubine, then the recovery of the Lan family will be inevitable.

Qin Wuhou Mansion.

The hot sunshine outside the window spilled into the house along the screen window. There was a slight shadow under the supporting tree standing in the flower garden outside the door. In the blink of an eye, it was as long as three bamboo poles.

The sun was about to shine on Tan Yuwang's little butt. At this moment, she was holding the quilt between her legs, with her butt facing out. She was sleeping very sweetly, and her eyelashes were curled up.

But suddenly she felt her butt was so hot, she frowned, squirmed her body inside, and fell asleep again.After a while, the sun continued to move inward, as if it was deliberately chasing her butt.

She raised her hand and touched her butt, which was hot from the sun. Feeling a little irritated, she suddenly moved inside and bumped her head against the wall. There was a loud thud, which made her gasp in pain, and she suddenly felt Sober, he covered his head and sat up with a grunt.

"It hurts...hiss..." She raised her hand to rub her head, opened her sleepy eyes and looked into the room.

Surprisingly, Ye Niansi stayed in the room obediently today.

He was dressed in an off-white brocade dyed with ink, with long blue silk draped over his broad shoulders. He was holding the seventh volume of "Jingxin Lu" in his hand, reading quietly with his eyes lowered.It seemed that he had formed a habit. His slender fingers pointed at the word slowly and read down one word at a time.

Qin Yu looked at him with Xingyan eyes, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Because she was angry that he didn't read these books properly, she took all the hard-written books back to the room. She was originally going to burn them, but Liu Ye said that after Ye Niansi saw them, she took them back alone. I went to the library and read patiently from now on, never daring to disobey her again.

At this moment, she looked at his cold face, his elegant and distant appearance, without the slightest feeling of threat, which made her feel a little dazed for a moment.

Maybe he really has changed for the better.

But as soon as this idea appeared in Qin Yuwang's mind, she became inexplicably panicked and her heart beat faster.

If before Lan Zhiruo appeared, then if he got better, he really got better.

But now, the heroine from the original book has appeared.In the previous life, Tan Yuwang and Ye Niansi had no intersection. They only knew that he was from the enemy camp. Every time they met on the battlefield, he always wore a mask. She had never seen his face, and he must have never seen it either. I will remember her appearance.

But if Lanzhi is the woman standing next to him and can be liked by someone like him, it means that this woman must not be simple.

And Qin Yuwang is a complete female supporting character. If she hadn't worked hard in this life, she would never have had the slightest place in Ye Niansi's heart.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuwang smiled wryly to himself. I'm afraid he doesn't have much of a position now. If this little tyrant really has the power to kill, she might be the first one to deal with him.After all, she wasn't very nice to him, and she always wouldn't let him do what he wanted to do.

How can a supporting female character counter the aura of the heroine?This problem is what Qin Yuwang needs to solve urgently now.No matter how deep Ye Niansi's thoughts are, he still needs one or two people around him to do some necessary things for him.

Lan Zhiruo should be this person.She always felt that Ye Niansi seemed to have contact with someone in the house, but these contents were not written in the original book. Maybe that person only revealed his identity after she died, so she couldn't guess who it was. .

Tan Yuwang shook his head. She hated using her brain. Thinking about these things every day made her feel groggy as soon as she woke up.She stroked the wood of the bed, stood up, and when she walked to Ye Niansi, she glanced at his waist.

There is a big bow in front of her lean waist, which she must have tied before going to bed last night.Complete and ugly, it can be seen that it has not been untied.

She sat down at the round table contentedly. Ye Niansi was expressionless and concentrated on reading the book without looking up at her.

Qin Yuwang glanced at him with apricot eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Yeniansi, I want to discuss something with you."

Ye Niansi didn't raise his eyes, opened his thin lips lightly, and said in a cold voice, "You just have to listen to the second lady's instructions."

Qin Yuwang held the tea cup on the table with one hand and pinched his knee with the other. Before he could say anything, his ears were already as red as ripe cherries, but his face remained calm.

She hesitated and hesitated, her heart pounding, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. She was a little embarrassed, so she pushed the water glass to Ye Niansi's hand, "Drink some water."

Ye Niansi glanced at the cup with his black eyes, raised his eyes and looked at the woman's strange expression. He didn't know what way she was thinking of torturing him. He said coldly, "I'm not thirsty."

Qin Yu stared at him with apricot eyes and said seriously, "I didn't ask you if you were thirsty. I asked you to drink water."

If you don't obey now, that won't do.Qin Yuwang thought about it. In terms of hard indicators, he would definitely not be able to compare with Lan Zhiruo. That woman was beautiful and capable, and she had the same position as Ye Niansi.

Then she would stop pretending and become unruly and force him to do things.Anyway, he was her husband in name, so she tied him up day and night until the end of this year, which was all within the rules.

Ye Niansi looked at her doubtfully.After hesitating for a moment, he took hold of the water glass and put it to his lips.

Tan Yuwang finally prepared himself mentally, "I want to have a child." With a puff, Ye Niansi frowned and choked a mouthful of water into his throat. He held the book tightly in his hands, raised his black eyes, looked at Tan Yuwang, and spoke in an indifferent voice. , "Second Miss, you can say this kind of thing more tactfully."

Qin Yuwang raised one leg and stepped on the foot of Ye Niansi's stool, leaned slightly towards him, blinked twice, "Okay. Ye Niansi, I want to have many in-depth exchanges with you and create a love relationship with you." The result. Is it euphemistic enough?"

Ye Niansi clenched his molar teeth a little and lowered his dark eyes, "The second young lady knows how to be euphemistic."

Just as he was talking, there was a gentle knock on the door. Liu Ye opened the door and brought in the scented tea and breakfast with his left and right hands, "Second Miss, it's time for breakfast."

Liu Ye put the wooden plate on the table, with a vermilion official seal in his hand. Ye Niansi, who was reading quietly, was caught by the red envelope in his peripheral vision, and watched with dark eyes as Tan Yuwang opened the gold collection. Seal, eyes deep.

Liu Ye lowered his waist and said: "It was just sent from the palace, saying that there will be an election on the seventh day of next month. The announcement is already being made, but it has not been announced yet. The Li Si Pavilion in the palace is going to invite seventeen women from aristocratic families to do the evaluation. After the palace aunts’ physical examination, deportment, etc. have all been checked and screened, before the emperor is selected, these seventeen women from aristocratic families will vote first. If they fail, they will be sent back and only the best will be kept."

Qin Yuwang glanced at the content of the letter and frowned slightly.In the past, there was no such link in the draft. The women selected by the aunts in the palace were already very good. Now this step has been added. Tan Yuwang guessed that the reasons were complicated, but one possibility is that the emperor did not want his wife to People from many aristocratic families entered the harem.

Think about concubines such as Xiao Qin and Guan Shuliang. Once they are favored, they will subtly affect the direction of the government and the opposition.And in this general election, if seventeen women from aristocratic families vote at the same time, each other will be able to see the information of the selected woman, and everyone will favor their own relatives and suppress other families. In this way, it will be the women from non-aristocratic families who are even more vulnerable. Advantages.

She glanced at Willow Ye, "Is there anything we can choose this year?"

Liu Ye replied: "The Marquis has already told the nieces and nephews of the second lady that they will not choose for the time being this year. We will wait and see what the rules are for the new eighteen selections."

Tan Yuwang nodded. It seemed that Tan Yu and her thought of getting together.

"You take my signature and seal and give a note to the palace, saying that I agreed to this matter. According to what is written in this letter, I will go to the Talent Academy to have a look in three days."

"Yes, second lady."

Ye Niansi sat aside and read quietly, his dark eyes clear with calculations, but his expression remained unchanged. The dazzling red official title occasionally flashed through his peripheral vision, and his whole body was indifferent and filled with chills.

Exactly fifteen days after the incident at Qin Wuhou Mansion, Qin Xiaoxian completed all the handovers, personally returned his shirt to the Ministry of War, and handed over the Xiaoqi Camp token that had been with him for almost five years, with the unwillingness of a young general to meet a traitor. , dragging his tired body back to the Qin Mansion, where the pillars of national protection had already been removed.

The garden in June is full of splendor, with beautiful flowers blooming everywhere, delicate peonies standing gracefully, and lotus flowers in the lake pond dying. Tan Xiaoxian used to like to feed the fish by the lake pond, and he treasured those red-top brocades he raised by himself. Li, now he is standing by the lake again, looking at the bottomless and turbid lake water with his sword eyes, the stars in his eyes are shattered.

Bursts of laughter could be heard in the distance, and a group of women from aristocratic families walked around Jiang Xinlan talking and laughing, followed by several painters, and two slaves holding a portrait in their hands.

The painting shows Jiang Xinlan playing with colorful butterflies among thousands of flowers. The joy in her eyes and the brightness of her smile are vivid on the paper.

But Tan Xiaoxian, who was under the shade of the tree on this side, suddenly felt desolation and anger in his eyes.

A maid looked up and saw it. She was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly reminded Jiang Xinlan. She seemed to have realized something. The smile on Jiang Xinlan's face froze slightly, and she turned to look at Qin Xiaoxian who was standing not far away.

When the women behind her saw this, they all retreated, "Then don't bother the madam and the general. When the third lady gives birth, we will have a chance to express our feelings. Don't refuse anymore!"

Jiang Xinlan smiled at them, waved her hand, and the maid who followed her sent them out knowingly.

Jiang Xinlan stood there without moving, but Qin Xiaoxian walked to her side step by step, looking at her swollen belly. When he came to speak, he tightened his words slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "It's almost time to give birth. It's time to give birth." Have a good rest for a few days and don't wander around."

Jiang Xinlan lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, raised her eyes and looked at him, "General, don't worry, this child is the grandson of Jiang Wuhou Mansion, I will protect him."

The anger in Tan Xiaoxian's heart suddenly surged, and he lowered his voice, "Xinlan, why did you do this? How could you frame your family just for the plaque in the Jiangwu Marquis Mansion?"

"Family?" A bitter smile appeared on Jiang Xinlan's lips, "General, just because we are family, I cannot allow my second sister to harm all of us by herself. You said framed, do you know what vicious words you are using to describe me? Everything I said is true. Everyone has seen the Lan family’s spiritual tablet. The second sister offered incense to the traitor in the room. This is still a small matter. If it is a big matter, who can escape? Be careful, the general and I are husband and wife. Don’t you understand this at all?”

Jiang Xinlan's eyes turned slightly red, "I know that the children of the Qin family are very united, but what I am carrying in my belly is not your flesh and blood. I think about him, you, and our family. Can you There are so many people in the prefecture who despise me, but now you have become one of them!"

Tan Xiaoxian looked into Jiang Xinlan's eyes and was stunned.At that moment, it was hard for him to see the heroic figure of the beautiful woman wearing bright clothes and angry horses.

What she said was right. Finding the Lan family's spiritual tablet in the Qin Mansion was no small matter.But she could have told Qin Yu about the matter and then dealt with it at home. However, Xiao Zhen found out about it directly, and the Jiang family benefited from it.He had never realized that the person beside him had such deep thoughts.

Jiang Xinlan felt a little aggrieved and walked forward with difficulty, reaching out to support Tan Xiaoxian's arm, but the man avoided it with a cold face.

Tan Xiaoxian turned around and hid the complicated look in his eyes. The once heroic young man who thought he had a good wife and successful career has now come to nothing in a blink of an eye.

He closed his eyes for a moment and said sternly, "I found a place to live in the North Courtyard. From now on, you can stay in this yard by yourself and don't leave people around. If you find someone you like in the future, you can come and find me. Peace and separation.”

Jiang Xinlan was stunned for a moment, with tears hidden in her eyes, looking at Tan Xiaoxian's coldly leaving back in disbelief.She held her hand on the tree beside her, her eyes a little dull. Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly came up to support her and whispered, "Third Madam, the young master said angry words. Don't worry about going up there."

"I received a letter from my family, saying that today the Sixth Prince went to the house again with a bunch of congratulatory gifts. He has been here since early in the morning and has not left yet. But the Marquis doesn't know what to do." He sighed and lowered his eyebrows.

Jiang Xinlan forced herself to calm down and asked doubtfully, "What does the Sixth Prince want to do with my father?"

The maid thought for a while and replied, "I also heard from someone who sent a message from the family that the Sixth Prince has been to the palace six or seven times. It is said that he wanted the Marquis to allocate 5 people to let Prince Xiao go to train the army. , gain some knowledge.”

"The Marquis is now a role model in the court. He has done a lot of practical things as soon as he took office. I heard that His Majesty will happily praise him every day when he goes to court. In just ten days, he has already reorganized the officials. The land is very good. Therefore, the Marquis has face everywhere now. No matter how strong the Sixth Prince is, he must still have something to ask the man in charge of the military. The Marquis did not give him a good look, this time. He looked at me coldly, but if he comes again today, he will make the Marquis very upset."

The maid looked around and lowered her voice, "I thought I would never stop doing anything, so I might as well use this matter to suppress the arrogance of the Sixth Prince."

Jiang Xinlan calmed down for a moment. She was still thinking about what Tan Xiaoxian had just said to her, but she couldn't move her mind to other things. She frowned and waved her hand, "Daddy is now dominating. With his height, he naturally has his own way of dealing with it, so I won't worry about it. Just shut your mouth, if these things are spread in the Qin family, I will look after you."

The maid hurriedly responded, "Yes, madam."

I'm very sorry to everyone. I had meetings in the past three days and didn't take the time to make an update.Will be updated steadily in the future, thank you for your company and protection~
