Young man, please stay

Chapter 301 Occupy the Minnan
"I am back."

"Uncle-in-law~"

"?"

As soon as Qin Lang came back with the rice dumplings leaves, he felt something was wrong.

The girls in the room looked at each other and seemed to realize this.

So Tao'er, who was running in front and wanted to help her son-in-law get something, blushed and stuck out her tongue, then stepped back, and then a former clan leader cleared his throat and reappeared:

"Qin Lang Qin Lang~"

Well, this tastes just right.

"You smell like a thieving cat."

"..."

This isn't the flavor that should be there, right?

Qin Lang saw that Miss Jin had already pricked up her pretty ears first, and his face immediately darkened. He sniffed her body, and then pinched Zhuo Beibei's little face:

"I'll give you four words: be careful with your words and actions."

"I will also give you four big words! Respect your teacher!"

"you are?"

"I'm your senior sister!"

"Oh."

Then let's let senior sister go for now. Qin Lang let go of Zhuo Beibei, then gave the rice dumplings leaves to her to wash, and then sat down between the empress and the princess.

"Hey, Silver Bottle..."

Qin Lang rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly at the princess who was making the rice dumplings:
"...You've worked hard. Oh, look at how much sweat you're getting... Tsk tsk, what a pity..."

"?"

"Ahem... No, I mean, let me help you wipe it..."

"..."

Su Yinping looked at the lecher's attentiveness and suppressed the smile in her heart. She glared at him fiercely, raised her snow-white arm and touched her forehead, not giving him the chance to touch her.

Qin Lang was frustrated and helpless. He turned his head away in dismay and looked at the empress with a wry smile:

"Baby...hiss!"

Qin Lang had just said two words when he felt pain in his heel. He turned his head away with a bitter face. The princess pretended nothing had happened and continued to wrap the rice dumplings.

"..."

Qin Lang opened his mouth but had nothing to say. The empress watched him out of the corner of her eye and found it funny. The corners of her lips twitched up and she waited until Qin Lang turned around before she straightened her lips again.

"That... Your Majesty."

Qin Lang changed his words, and this time he was not criticized:
"Your Majesty, you have worked very hard. Tsk tsk, this bench is too low. Your legs must be sore after sitting for so long. Come, let me massage them for you..."

"..."

The empress scored twice. Seeing his behavior, she held back her smile like her sister. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes more fiercely than the princess's. Her long legs were turned aside, leaving only a section of her ankles wrapped in stockings under her skirt. Qin Lang felt itchy and helpless when he saw it.

He was originally planning to do something fancy, but the two Su sisters simply kicked him one by one and kicked him away from between them.

"Are you still going to make zongzi? If you want to, sit across from me and make them carefully."

"If you continue to act funny, you won't be able to eat lunch."

Since the two most influential people in the Great Zhou Dynasty had spoken in this way, Qin Lang could no longer be shameless and do anything small.

Alas, there is no way, just eat something light.

"Jin'er, hehe..."

"..."

"Hey, look at your little hands soaked in water, what should you do if they get damaged? Let me help you collect the rice..."

"..."

Qin Lang, who came to the opposite side, naturally sat with Gu Jin. Just as he opened his mouth to say a few words, the girl silently revealed a dagger from her sleeve, using the shining reflection to signal him not to mess around in front of the lady and the emperor.

However, Qin Lang understood Gu Jin. Although she would draw her dagger at any time, her heart was the softest among all the women.

Over time, Qin Lang would not like Miss Jin if she didn't act like this.

So Qin Lang didn't say much, and reached into the rice basin to help Gu Jin collect the glutinous rice. Of course, from time to time he would collect the glutinous rice in Miss Jin's little hand, or mistake Miss Jin's white little hand for glutinous rice, and "accidentally" touch and pinch it, which was unavoidable.

At least Jin'er couldn't do anything about his shameless behavior and could only let him do it with red ears.

……

"By the way, I saw you guys were chatting happily when I just came back. What were you talking about?"

"It's nothing, just a rumor in the market, a little gossip or something."

"for example?"

"For example... a few days ago, Lord Wang's unfilial son saw a girl on the street and wanted to take her into his house by force, regardless of whether she was married or not. As a result, he was beaten half to death in the street... Oh, by the way, it was Ben Lei who did it."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

"Yes, so Qin Lang, you better be careful. Humph, you might get kidnapped by some big shot when you go out on the street in the future."

"Oh, Miss Su, you are joking. What do I, a man, have to be afraid of..."

--------

Over at the Princess's Mansion, Qin Lang and a few other girls were wrapping rice dumplings while chatting like ordinary people, leisurely enjoying the festive atmosphere.

On the same Dragon Boat Festival, in the Regent's Palace far away, the situation was not so warm.

"..."

Beside the big round table in the main room, Mei'er, who had changed into a palace dress after bathing, had been sitting there for about half an hour with an expressionless face, looking at the table full of food.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, in fact, Mei'er felt like ants were crawling on her body.

Eight-treasure Zongzi, Braised Round Fish with Golden Leg, Crystal Pork Knuckle, Diced Peaches with Peach Kernel, Braised Goose Kite with Skillful Hands, Shredded Crab Meat with Bamboo Shoots, Flower-shaped Longan…

Mei'er looked at the plates and smelled the aroma of the food, and what came to her mind was the dusty journey from Yangzhou back to Beijing, and the hard work of serving the drunken Regent...

Gu——~
In comparison, Mei'er felt even hungrier.

Not to mention the exquisite dishes on the table, just with some sugar or salt to dip the rice dumplings, Mei even felt like she could eat the entire table.

Of course, these images are just for imagination.

The most urgent thing is to pray that her master will stop making trouble in her shabby boudoir. She has already finished taking a bath and why is she not starting the meal yet? No one knows what she is hesitating about.

"..."

I don't believe it, I feel I can't bear it anymore.

Mei'er's throat moved, and she suddenly waved to the maids in the room:
"You guys should leave first."

"Yes."

The maids hadn't eaten yet, so they were naturally happy not to have to serve their master, so they left one after another.

After they walked away, Mei'er looked left and right, and finally stared at the dining table with her eyes flickering. After staring for a long time, she finally found the part of the elbow with the smoothest skin and the most sauce.

It was decided that this was it.

Mei'er picked up the silver chopsticks in one hand and the spoon in the other, and picked up the soft, glutinous and fragrant pork elbow from the plate, leaving only seven parts of the skin and three parts of the meat. Just as she was about to put it into the small bowl in front of her, a soft voice sounded behind her:

"Mei'er Mei'er, come and help me fix my hair. It's taking me so long to fix it... Hmm? Why are you standing there? Come on, hurry up!"

"..."

Mei'er's hands were shaking as she put down her chopsticks.

However, after going to the Regent's boudoir in the back, she finally figured out what the Regent was hesitating about.

"Master Bai, you can read Eight Ways to Catch Men anytime. Can't we eat first?"

"I...I didn't see that..."

"Master Bai, it's already showing under the pillow."

"!"

"So about that Wang Liang..."

"Yes, I have already asked someone to investigate. I think there will be news today. No matter what his condition is, bring him back to the palace first."

"Isn't that just usurping the people's rights..."

"Oh, he is so domineering. He did things secretly. Who would know that it was me who did it? Anyway, I have a hunch that Wang Liang, apart from other things, would definitely not lose to the man in Xiaopanzi in terms of appearance~!"
