Legend of the Orchid

Li Zhonglan wanted to find a housekeeper, but he didn't expect good things to happen quickly. As soon as he returned home, someone knocked on the door and said that he would introduce a servant to him.

Li Zhonglan was puzzled, and the visitor reported himself: "This house has been unoccupied for a long time, and the son moved recently, thinking that he must need manpower, so come to ask."

Only then did Zhong Lan feel relieved, and asked the other party to help find a housekeeper, and the other party immediately patted her chest and agreed, and finally brought a housekeeper who looked shrewd and capable in the afternoon.

At the same time, the other party also brought a few servants, saying to let Mr. Li see if they could be of use.Zhong Lan was in short supply of manpower, seeing that those attendants were quick in their hands and feet, she wanted them all.

As soon as there were more people, the house became lively and less empty. The house was much tidier, and finally someone could call Li Zhonglan to go to court, but Li Zhonglan was used to going to bed late and getting up late, but now he was asked to get up at Yin time every day to go to court at Yin time. It's really uncomfortable.

But after entering the court hall, he was refreshed again, because only then could he see the court steps.Zhao Tingjie was in front of him, so he peeked at the other person's back, and when the chief inspector yelled "retire", he turned around and left quickly with a guilty conscience, for fear that Tingjie would know that he was looking at him.

However, the discussions among the ministers have not diminished. Some people think that Li Zhonglan is a man after all, and His Highness Zhao is just looking for a novelty for a while. Some people say that His Highness Zhao has not yet married a wife. This time, he is afraid that he will return to the right path and give the future Weng's family a good time. Impressed.

After hearing this, Li Zhonglan's heart fell into an ice cellar. The Chen family made him very angry before, but now Zhao Tingjie actually wants to marry a regular wife?What is Li Zhonglan when he is?

Li Zhonglan was sullen, and wanted to question Zhao Tingjie, but he couldn't hold back his face. After all, he was the one who mentioned the separation, so how could he throw away the other party and blame the other party for ignoring him?

He was angry and decided not to look at each other, but he still looked at Zhao Tingjie in a strange way every time he went to court. He didn't listen to a word of state affairs, and Li Yu and Xu Xuan didn't notice the change in his eyes at all. He began to regret caring Those gossips and other people's remarks are really not worth mentioning compared to court ranks!

At the beginning of June, Li Zhonglan was wearing white silk underwear, sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. His jacket was sleeveless, and his two arms, like jade lotus roots, were dazzlingly white in the sun. His trousers were rolled up high, revealing his slender ankles. .

Even so, Li Zhonglan still felt hot, shaking the paper fan vigorously, and asked the maid to prepare ice cubes for herself.

At this time, a servant came over and said that His Royal Highness Zhao had sent orchids.

Li Zhonglan thought that Zhao Tingjie was coming in person, so she was overjoyed, she quickly put on her shoes, and ran to the door to see that there was no sign of Tingjie, only a cart full of orchids.

Zhao Tingjie asked someone to tell him that the weather was too hot and the orchids would not survive, so he might as well give them to Li Zhonglan, since he didn't like orchids anyway.

Li Zhonglan was stunned, Zhao Tingjie, what is this?Want to cut ties with him completely?Are you upset even seeing orchids?

Now Li Zhonglan was worried, she felt that the bed was empty when she slept at night, she couldn't help but miss Zhao Tingjie's arms infinitely, and worried that Tingjie would have nephrite in her arms at night, her chest couldn't help feeling sour, she took out the paper figurine, wanting to find out.

The paper figurine floated into Zhao's mansion, and before he had time to survey the terrain, he was firmly fixed by the gossip mirror hanging on a tree, unable to move.

Seeing that she couldn't command the paper figurines, Li Zhonglan was full of doubts, so she pulled out two more paper figurines, but they were still immobilized.

Li Zhonglan guessed that Zhao Tingjie was playing tricks, but she was too embarrassed to check it herself, so she could only give up and fell asleep in bed in the middle of the night.

On the second day when he went to court, Li Zhonglan's gaze was about to burn a big hole in Zhao Tingjie's back, but he didn't know that Zhao Guangyi's gaze projected on his face from the dragon chair was equally hot.

Zhao Tingjie was like nothing else, talking and laughing as usual, with a dignified demeanor, and the jade tree facing the wind, which made Li Zhonglan very angry.

Because of scratching her heart and lungs, Li Zhonglan didn't even take her usual lunch break. She wandered around the house with two huge dark circles under her eyes every day. Her peach blossom eyes were half smaller, and her moist pupils were shriveled like grape seeds. She yawned. Lian Tian just propped his cheek with one hand in a daze.

Another afternoon, Li Zhonglan was sitting in the courtyard admiring the orchids. The sun was getting brighter, so he asked his maids to move the orchids to the greenhouse. The two maids chatted while carrying the lace, saying that the handsome guard had come again.

Li Zhonglan was suspicious and asked, "What guard?"

The maid smiled and said, "I'll look for Steward Wang every few days, and I should be talking to Steward Wang at the door right now!"

Li Zhonglan's eyes widened in amazement, she put on her shoes and socks as quickly as lightning could cover her ears, and ran to the door, but she dared not go out, she just hid her body at the door and eavesdropped.

Jin Yan said: "Your son should urge him to go to bed early at night, and burn some tranquilizing incense in his room to help him sleep."

The housekeeper responded obediently, and Jin Yan said again: "Let's not investigate the matter of you withholding the servant's salary this time. If there is a next time, His Highness will definitely take your skin off!"

The butler trembled in fear and said yes.

Li Zhonglan covered her mouth, like a little bird in her heart, and danced ecstatically. Finally, at night, as soon as the sun went down, he took out the paper figurine, wanting to try again to see Zhao Tingjie's condition.

The paper figurine disappeared as usual, Li Zhonglan bit her pink lip helplessly, and decided to go to Zhao Tingjie in person.

He turned into black smoke and floated to the door of the study, and found that there were no lights inside the door. It was obvious that Zhao Tingjie was not there, so he guessed that the other party might be in his room, or in a woman's room.

Thinking of this, Li Zhonglan's heart began to ache again, he turned around angrily, trying to find the whereabouts of the culprit again, but was choked by the scene before him and took a deep breath.

But seeing a shining gossip mirror hanging on every tree, some of the mirrors were fixed with paper figurines, while others were not. It filled every corner of Zhao Mansion.

Damn Zhao Tingjie didn't take down the paper figurine either. It's not obvious that he was telling Zhao Tingjie: I miss you so much!And this thought is not an ordinary thought, it is a very much thought!See my missing fill up your home!

Li Zhonglan was so ashamed that she lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, feeling that she would never have the face to see Zhao Tingjie again, but a smiling voice came from behind: "Lan'er, do you want to see me again?"

Li Zhonglan trembled suddenly, neither running away nor staying, but Zhao Tingjie walked up to him and continued to tease: "If you want to see me, just come here, why are you sending so many paper figurines?"

"..."

"You have at least twenty or thirty paper figurines. Why, have you been missing me crazily this month?"

"..."

Zhao Tingjie suddenly pinched Li Zhonglan's chin, forcing the other party to raise his head high, and then carefully admired the other party's face in the clean moonlight, shaking his head and joked: "Why are you getting more and more haggard, because you miss me every night and want to sleep Can't you?"

Li Zhonglan looked at Zhao Tingjie's slightly slanted star eyes, extremely ashamed, broke free from the other party's shackles, and wanted to escape.

"Lan'er!" Zhao Tingjie shouted behind him, "Do you want to come back?"

nonsense!Of course I want to!But how dare he say it out loud!

Li Zhonglan didn't respond, but stopped in her tracks.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that you still have something with me." Zhao Tingjie said in a tone of surprise on purpose.

Li Zhonglan turned her head, her eyes wide open, she asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Zhao Tingjie approached him, grabbed his hand and put it on his left chest, and said with a smile, "Your heart is with me."

It was rare for Ting Jie to be so unprincipled, Zhong Lan was both angry and funny, she slapped Ting Jie's chest with her other hand, her smile was blooming like a flower, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.

The corners of Zhao Tingjie's mouth were raised, and he let Li Zhonglan beat him, but he still held on to the opponent's hand. After a while, Zhonglan calmed down and looked up at the steps.

The cool breeze of the summer night mixed with the rich fragrance of tuberose made the fiery breath from the tips of their noses extremely sweet. Li Zhonglan's breath gently sprayed on Zhao Tingjie's cheeks, with the sweet fragrance of orchids, making the other party's My heartbeat almost stopped.

Zhao Tingjie held Li Zhonglan's face in his hands, and slowly brought his lips together, his tongue easily pried open the white teeth, grabbing the sweet juice, the two of them looked like two white jade statues under the bright moonlight, so lingering, yet beautiful and holy.

Not far away, Zhao Tingjie's concubine, Mrs. Chen, watched this fiery scene angrily, filled with resentment.
