late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 12
October 1861, 9 Light Rain

I sat in front of the table, looked across the book in front of me, and fixed on the kiss last night.

I was originally sitting on the wooden pillars in the corridor, and at some point, Lan'er was already standing behind me.

By the time I found out, her jade hands were already on my shoulders.

"Why, are you watching the moon?"

Lan'er smiled at me, sat side by side with me, looked up at the moon in the sky together, yesterday was fourteen, the moon was not particularly round, but it was surprisingly bright.

It is so bright that I can see her delicate skin like a baby, and see the sincere smile in her eyes.

At this time, she should be like most girls, with a longing for an ideal life.

"Wait tomorrow, the moon in the sky will be even rounder, then you will watch the moon with me!"

Lan'er hugged my arm, leaned her head on my shoulder, and pointed at the moon in the sky with one hand, with a pure smile on her face.

Shocked, I immediately stood up and took two steps back.

"The Queen Mother."

I was reminding her of her identity. At this moment, Sushun's eyeliner was everywhere, especially around her. How could she let her guard down so much.

"Why, you're scared, hehe..."

Lan'er laughed softly, and the tassels on the hat swayed, as if they were laughing at me.

"I'm not afraid!"

I am a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, I am obviously terrified in my heart, but my mouth is still stubborn, I don't know why, in front of her, I just refuse to bow my head.

"Then why are you running? It turns out that you are just like other men, duplicity."

Lan'er pouted, deliberately pretending to be angry.

"I'm not duplicity, now is an extraordinary period, please put the overall situation in the Queen Mother's mind!"

I moved out those high-sounding principles to cover up my guilty conscience.

To be honest, who wouldn't be tempted by such a gentle and beautiful woman, but I was very clear in my heart that there would never be a relationship between me and her.

"Listen to you, you really care about me!"

Before Lan'er could finish her sentence, she strode forward and gently kissed the corner of my lips. I was so startled that my eyes widened and I forgot how to react for a moment.

"Okay, you can tell me the Analects of Confucius."

Lan'er only tapped the corner of my lips lightly, then backed out, and walked towards the inner hall as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, I clearly saw a black figure flashing away from the flowers not far away. I guessed that that person must have been sent by Sushun.

This time I guess it's really over. If I'm caught having an affair with the queen mother, I won't have a hundred heads enough to chop off.

I spent the night tremblingly, and today's daylight came as expected.

Up to this moment, Sushun still did not take any action. I think he must be waiting for a suitable opportunity.

After breakfast, I sat down at the desk and stared blankly at the Analects in front of me.

In fact, although my eyes were fixed on that text, my head remembered everything.

"Zhongzheng is worthy of being a talented scholar in the Qing Dynasty. I just had breakfast and came to read a book."

Lan'er sat on the Arhat's bed not far away, holding a Mrs. Tang in her hand to cover her hands.

Hehe, I laughed dryly in my heart, what kind of talent am I, I don't know anything, I just hold my feet and don't show my secrets!
"Isn't the Queen Mother going to listen to the Analects? How about I read it to you." I picked up the book and made a gesture to read the first page.

"Don't worry, it will be very cold if it rains a little, let me warm up first!"

As Lan'er said, she clenched Tang Pozi even more tightly in her hand. Logically speaking, the weather is only September, so even if it rains, she shouldn't need Tang Pozi.

Could it be that she has a cold in her body? !
There are a few women in the palace who are in good health. I once heard that the concubine Yigui offended the emperor and was punished to kneel for a day and a night.

"Queen Mother, why don't you boil some ginger soup, it can drive away the cold." I suggested.

Lan'er shook her head, with a teasing smile on her face, "Just say you don't understand, I'm menstruating, how can I drink ginger soup!"

Uh……

"Hehe, Zhongzheng, I said you should be 25 this year! It's time to marry a wife!"

"Oh."

I deal with it casually, to be honest, I don't know how old I am, but, looking at my face, I should be in my 20s.

"Didn't I give you Meishuang!"

Lan'er stared at me, and by the way put the Tang Pozi in her hand on her stomach.

"Mei Shuang is a good girl. I can't spoil her like this. Besides, it's what a gentleman does when she's in love and ends with courtesy."

What I mean is actually very simple, going to bed without a marriage certificate is a hooligan!
However, I was surrounded by beauties the moment I wore it. It is estimated that my family's ancestral grave was buried on the dragon's veins.

"Pedantism!"

Lan'er smiled and shook her head. Although she said that, the word "happiness" was clearly written on her face.

She must have taken a fancy to me!

I am extremely convinced, but, in this way, I have to keep a distance from her, after all, we are not the same way at all.

"Queen, let's talk about the Analects."

I picked up the book again, trying to distract her.

"I've said it all, call me Lan'er when no one is around!"

"Oh, good, let's talk about the Analects."

I dealt with it vaguely, picked up the book on the table in a little embarrassment, and read a sentence without a sentence.

I don't even know what I'm talking about myself.

"Zhongzheng, your explanation of the Analects is not very good!"

Lan'er clicked her tongue a few times, shook her head lightly, then got up and walked towards me.

My body suddenly stiffened, and I couldn't restrain my hind legs.

"Lan'er, just sit down..."

Lan'er walked up to me and looked at me exhaling like Lan, "Are you really so afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid of you, it's just impossible for the two of us!"

When I got excited, I spoke out what was in my heart. At that time, even I was shocked, and I stood there a little at a loss.

"Haha..." Lan'er suddenly laughed, and the tears of laughter almost flowed out, "Zhongzheng, you are so cute, I don't think it's hard not to love you!"

What did she mean? !
Since she doesn't like me, why would she 'trick||play' me!

I think her behavior like this is very heinous, and even hurt my masculine dignity.

"Don't you know that Sushun wants to kill you?!"

Lan'er looked at me like a fool, and the smile in her eyes became more obvious.
