Chapter 75: Thunderstorm Night Dream Return 4
"The county magistrate has not yet assumed office, and the things that need to be solved will only accumulate, and even the prison will be overcrowded by then!" Yan Mo said righteously!

"You're right." The prince stood up and said, "But the officialdom is complicated, and this matter belongs to this palace."

"Gululu—" Yan Mo was startled, she couldn't stop the protest from her stomach.

The prince was stunned for a while, then chuckled: "I am concerned about this matter, and it happens that I have not eaten. I wonder if Brother Ming would like to keep me for dinner?"

"Brother Huang is joking, how could the younger brother be reluctant." Qi Ming smiled lightly, "Yan'er, the matter of the county magistrate is left to Brother Huang, and now we have another thing to do." I saw him facing the door Forcefully said, "Lu Jiu!"

"This subordinate is here!" Lu Jiu fell down, entered the room and saluted respectfully.

Qi Ming leaned over and whispered a few words to him, Lu Jiu's face became more and more ugly to the naked eye, and he looked at his master for a long time in disbelief. After receiving the affirmation from the other party's eyes, he responded.

"Yes!" Lu Jiu pondered for a while, made a very sad expression, took a deep breath, and shouted to the courtyard, "Prince, let go of his anger—the prince will never dare! His Royal Highness! Don't blame the prince. , Master has absolutely no intention of arrogance-"

Yan Mo twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Where did you two sing this?" However, he saw the two brothers showing fascinated smiles.

"Let's go, let's have dinner." Qi Ming crossed Lu Jiu's side and smiled more deeply, "Go on and call, don't stop without this king's order."

Lu Jiu looked at Qi Ming aggrievedly and said, "Yes"

Qi Ming led the prince and Yan Mo to Yanming Courtyard, and asked the servants to serve a few more dishes. After adding a pair of tableware, he screened everyone away, leaving only the three of them.

Yan Mo looked at the prince from the left, Qi Ming on the right, grabbed a chicken leg and ate it.

Prince: "Brother Ming was not in the palace last night?"

Qi Ming: "Brother Huang is well-informed. The incident happened suddenly yesterday, and he stayed in the cottage."

"The cottage is not as good as the palace. I didn't expect that younger brother Ming would be able to let go of his status. I wonder if he could rest last night?" The prince said while observing Yan Mo, seeing her as if nothing had happened, still enjoying himself.

Qi Ming heard the prince's intention and smiled: "Where there is Yan'er, even if it is a cottage, the younger brother can rest well."

"Can you rest well? Even your couch is worth my bed!" Yan Mo expressed his dissatisfaction while eating.

Prince: "So, Miss Yan slept on the bed last night, and Brother Ming slept on the couch?"

Yan Mo calmly said: "There is no way, the cottage is only so small, and I can only wrong the prince."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said: "It's all real estate under the name of the royal mansion, hasn't the cottage changed its name yet? The emperor loves his face, and such titles are not arbitrary. Brother Ming, you have always been careful and cautious, when did you become informal? Section?"

Maybe it was infected by someone, Qi Ming smiled and said, "Brother Huang said that it is better to change the name of the cottage to Xiaolin Bieyuan in the future." He turned to Yan Mo and said, "This real estate has been given to you by the king. Now, all the people still call you the master, what does Yan'er think?"

"Xiao Lin's Courtyard?" Yan Mo felt that the name was okay, and said, "That's fine too."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "My lord, man, the old slave has brought it."

Qi Ming: "Come in."

Uncle Qiu led another old man in, leaned over to the three of them, and said in unison, "The servant has seen His Royal Highness and the Prince."

After the prince asked the two to get up, Qi Ming said to Yan Mo: "This is Uncle Qiu, the head of the palace, who is mainly in charge of all my affairs. That is Uncle Lan, the head of the Yanming Academy, if you have anything, feel free to talk to him. Say."

Qiu Bo and Lan Bo said in unison, "I have seen the princess."

Qiu Boyan had already met him, but Lan Boy was the first time she had met him.Unlike Qiu Bo's short and stout figure, Lan Bo was supposed to be tall. Perhaps because of his old age, he hunched his back, which forced him to lower his height. his looks.

Yan Mo got up and observed the two of them. Qiu Bo gave off an amiable and honest feeling, with a red face, which should be due to the stable life in the palace.The emaciated Uncle Lan gave off a faint sadness, and she felt that this person must have a story.

Yan Mo: "Which blue?"

"Shanfeng Lan." Lan Bo replied briefly in a hoarse voice.

Yan Mo: "They are all people from my Yanming Academy. In the future, they will call themselves their subordinates or me. They are not allowed to use slaves. Do you understand?"

"This subordinate understands." Lan Bo replied simply and neatly.

Seeing Yan Mo nodded with satisfaction, Qi Ming said to them, "Go down."

"Yes." The two bowed out respectfully.

Prince: "Miss Yan has a chivalrous style, which makes people envious."

Yan Mo: "Being in the countryside, don't take offense to the prince."

The prince smiled: "How come? You reminded Ben Gong of an old friend from when I was a child. She is also so sassy and casual that people can't take their eyes off her."

Yan Mo: "."

"Cough cough! Everything in the palace is up to you. If you enter the palace tomorrow, you can't do it." Qi Ming said, "When you see the father and emperor, first of all you have to change your mouth and call yourself a minister-in-law."

"Chen-in-law?" Yan Mo repeated the unfamiliar title, his eyebrows twisted together.

The prince smiled and said, "Although there are many rules in the palace, don't feel too restrained. You will get used to it if you enter the palace a few more times in the future."

Yan Mo felt a slight headache: "Hey, what else do you have to say together, anyway, there is no way to escape, just solve it once!"

While eating, the two told Yan Mo all kinds of rules and etiquette gestures, and they ate a meal for an hour.

After finally finishing the etiquette teaching, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief and sent the prince off with Qi Ming.

The prince suddenly stopped after walking out of the gate of Yanming Courtyard. Yan Mo almost bumped into him, but luckily he was held back by Qi Ming.

The prince coughed a few times, and after a long simmering gesture, he finally stretched his face for a long time, and then stepped forward until Junyan stepped out of the gate of the palace.A group of accompanying palace people stood outside the palace gate, tired of hearing the cries of forgiveness from the palace, their feet were tired and their ears were even more tired, and now they dare not raise their heads for fear of angering the angry prince.

Qi Ming bowed respectfully with Yan Mo.

"Congratulations to send the emperor brother."

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness."

The prince's car finally left. Qi Ming and Yan Mo returned to the main hall. They saw Xiao Ren carrying two tins of teapots, and another tin in Lu Jiu's hands. After drinking it, he finally took a breath and wiped away his tears. With a crying look on his face, he said hoarsely: "Big Brother Xiao woo woo woo. Your Highness, he bullied me and rushed back from Anyan Town this morning. I haven't had a meal yet, so I'm going to perform crying here for an hour. . woo woo. What kind of hobby is this. The lord is too cruel to squeeze the labor force."

Qi Ming: "But if you say a few words, will the King bully you?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiu opened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake: "My lord, forgive me! This subordinate is wrong! The subordinate shouldn't say that you are stubborn, your black heart is unpredictable, and your subordinate who likes special things really knows you are wrong. Please forgive my lord!!"

Qi Ming only touched the corner of one side of his mouth, smiled evilly, looked at Lu Jiu, and the pressure of black and blue was increasing behind him.
"Pfft hahaha~ Thank you for keeping him! I admire Lu Jiu so much!" Yan Mo held his stomach and smiled and bent over, "Where did you find this treasure. Hahahaha~ It's so interesting! !"

"Princess." Lu Jiu begged Yan Mo for help.

Yan Mo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Okay, haha, let's go to dinner. Your prince has a small belly and chicken intestines, and you will pay for it. If you don't hurry up and avoid it, I won't be able to save you for a while!"

When Lu Jiu heard this, he quickly packed up, ran to the kitchen, and happily said, "Xie Wangfei~ Xie Wangye~"

Qi Ming put away the low pressure, resumed his smile, and looked at Xiao Renchu, who was dressed in a dark guard costume, and said in a slightly firm tone, "Have you seen the princess yet?"

Xiao Ren then put down the teapot, bowed bluntly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Subordinate Xiao Ren, see the princess."

Yan Mo stared blankly at Xiao Ren, she thought of Cai Zhifeng, the dark guard who died in the battle with her second uncle, the smile just disappeared completely
"Your dark guard is really like a day for ten years, and they are all dressed up." Yan Mo said leisurely.

"Don't the princess remember her subordinates?" Xiao Ren took off the organza mask and revealed his face.

Yan Mo stared blankly for a long time before he remembered: "Are you... the guard back then?"

Xiao Ren: "It's my subordinate."

Yan Mo: "I didn't expect you to become his dark guard."

"It's a long story, listen to me and tell you slowly in the future." Qi Ming looked at Yan Mo, "There's still something to deal with, come with me."

After the two left the main hall, Xiao Ren put on a mask to hide in the shadows.
Returning to the Yanming Courtyard again, the mess was already cleaned up, and a group of maids came in with items one after another and lined up in front of Yan Mo.Zhu Shui followed the maids in and prepared to be around.

"Tomorrow, you need to wear a dress to enter the palace. I bought these in advance. You can see which one you like." Qi Ming said leisurely after taking his seat.

"Unfold and let me see." Following Yan Mo's order, the maids acted as human-shaped hangers and unfolded sets of gorgeous dresses.Yan Mo flipped through it a few times, and finally chose a set of elegant aqua, green, blue, silver, flower and moon dark patterned robes, because other robes were more complicated and heavier than this set.

Yan Mo: "Just this set, it looks a little lighter."

"And headdress." Qi Ming watched Yan Mo with interest.

"Eh? Do I have to choose this myself?" Yan Mo frowned, "I don't know much about this, so just leave a few for me."

"You mean, let me choose for you?" Qi Ming got up with a smile, came to Yan Mo, and looked at her.

Yan Mo: "What is popular in Kyoto and what is suitable for the palace, you know better than me."

"Well, let's take a look." Qi Ming said and picked up a step shaker, compared Yan Mo's hairpin, shaved her from top to bottom, and picked up the second hairpin again. The same operation made Yan Mo very dissatisfied. He grabbed his hand holding the hairpin and moved it to the head of the opposite maid, who was holding the robe she had chosen.

"Is that the way to see the effect?" Yan Indifferent said impatiently.

Qi Ming withdrew his hand: "Leave all the headgear, and leave this robe as well, and everyone else will step down."

After the maids put down their headdresses and exited, only the maid and Zhu Shui were left with the robes.

Qi Ming pulled Yan Mo into the back room: "Why don't Yan'er put it on and let me see it. Zhushui, come in with the robe."

"Yes." Zhu Shui Deling followed with a robe, followed by the maid with a wooden headgear.

"You don't need to be so troublesome, just pick a few." Yan Mo was reluctant.

"Don't worry, just put on your coat and let me see the effect." Qi Ming said, handing over the robe and coat behind him, smiling, "I won't bother you today after this matter is settled."

"." Yan Mo took the coat and put it on indiscriminately. Zhu Shui habitually wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Qi Ming's eyes, and he lowered his head embarrassingly.
After Yan Mo was dressed, Qi Ming got up and began to try on various headgear for her.
Qi Ming raised the corners of his mouth, and the curvature was very beautiful. He took the trouble to try one by one.
"Hey! Fox, you tried this just now!" Yan Mo gave him a resentful look.

Qi Ming chuckled: "Well, this one suits you, so that's it." He chose a pair of golden sea pearl rings, jade flying birds and silver steps, which just matched the water green blue silver silk flower moon dark pattern robes. Subtle and elegant, coupled with the indifferent temperament, there is no interpretation.

With anticipation, Qi Ming ordered a few words and then went to the study, and Yan Mo did not see him again until the evening.

Yan Mo, who was sleeping, was lying on the bed, thinking about what the prince said today, and thinking about Lan Bo and Xiao Ren. It seemed that there were still many things she needed to know. She didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in In the darkness. Suddenly a flash of lightning fell!Cut through the darkness!The thunder roared, Yan Mo was startled to feel that she was floating on the water, her body was cold, she looked around and found that her arms were transparent!
Another lightning strike!Yan Mo moved his limbs to stand up, and saw two figures appearing faintly above the water in the distance, one of them was a figure she was very familiar with, carrying a large copper-colored sword, and a hearty laughter swayed. Come on.

"Second Uncle?" Yan Mo tapped the water with his feet and moved forward with jumps.She clearly saw another figure, covered in black, wearing an organza mask that covered half of her face, it was Cai Zhifeng.

"Second uncle? Cai Anwei?" Yan Mo accelerated his leap, but found that the two figures were not getting closer, but were getting further and further away, "Second uncle?!! Don't go!" Yan Mo stretched out his hand to grab each other, and then I was surprised that my hands were transparent!
Boom and thunder!
Yan Mo desperately ran to Mo Chuanshan: "Second Uncle! Don't go!! Second Uncle!!"

The figure slowly raised his head, showing his face from the darkness, smiling bitterly, and said something, but Yan Mo couldn't hear it!

"Second Uncle!! What did you say? I can't hear! Second Uncle! Don't go!! Don't go!!"

A flash of lightning struck the sky. Qi Ming in the study had been dealing with the official business that had fallen over the past few days. When he saw the thunder, he realized that it was very late. He got up and ordered his servants to prepare some food and deliver it to Yanmingyuan.

Qi Ming came to Yanming Courtyard, and the maids were all guarding the courtyard gate. He knew that someone was nearby when Yan Mo was not used to sleeping, so he quietly entered and came to the back room. He just looked at Yan Mo quietly, Not wanting to do more disturbing, after a while, he found that Yan Mo's breathing was disordered.
Qi Ming stepped forward to check, and saw Yan Mo's brows furrowed. He looked at the lightning that kept falling outside the window, and couldn't help frowning. He remembered that he and Yan Mo fought side by side with the Red Mole in the first battle of the Mo family, which was also such a thunderous night.

"Yan'er." Qi Ming whispered to Yan Mo, trying to wake her up, "Yan'er, wake up. Yan'er?"

In the dream, Yan Mo wanted to grab Mo Chuanshan, but she couldn't touch anything with her transparent hands. She gathered her inner strength and tried to blast towards the water, using the reaction force to fly towards her second uncle!
Qi Ming grabbed Yan Mo's swift hand and avoided her grasp!

"It's me! Yan'er!" Qi Ming signaled, wanting to shake Yan Mo, "Yan'er! Wake up!! Yan'er!!"

"Second Uncle!!!" Yan Mo woke up, looked around, and remembered that she was in the Yi'an Palace. She stretched out her hands to check, and found that they were shaking slightly.
"Second uncle." Yan Mo's eyes blushed, buried his face in his hands, and choked out, "Second uncle. It's all my fault. I failed to save you, second uncle, woo woo. Second uncle, don't leave me alone. The emotions and memories of "Second Uncle" in the dream will continue into reality. They become slippery like fish in the water, difficult to catch and uncontrollable, and they cry out of control.
"Yan'er! It's not your fault! No!" Qi Ming hugged her tightly, "Yan'er! Those are all dreams." He wanted to regain her reason, but found that he couldn't comfort the lost relatives at all. how to pay her back
"Someone! Light the lamp!" Qi Ming called the maids, followed by Zhu Shui.

Qi Ming: "Bring the moonstone box made of silver flowers and plants in Yuemingyuan! Quick!!"

Bamboo water made the trot run out.
The thunder continued, and the rain fell heavily.
"Yan'er! Come back to your senses!" Qi Ming felt her body cold, "Yan'er! Yan'er!!"

"Woo woo ah ah second uncle brother" Yan Mo was immersed in regret and could not extricate himself.
Until Zhushui ran in, he was soaked and handed the box.

Qi Ming moved quickly, took out the contents and said to Yan Mo, "Do you still remember this thing?" He let go of Yan Mo, unfolded the red yarn headband in his hand, and ripped open the other's hands.
Yan Mo curled up, the focus in his eyes was blurred, and it took a while to see the objects in front of him. The red yarn was still bright, and the golden threads were shining in the candle flame, activating the birds that spread their wings and the blooming flowers. .
　Last night I dreamed that my hands became transparent!When I woke up and thought about the story I was going to write today, I felt that I still had to embrace the male protagonist! !
