Legend of the Orchid

One day at the beginning of June, Li Zhonglan was playing with cats in the small garden of Xiyuan, when he suddenly heard the sound of brisk footsteps. He looked up and saw Dixiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walking quickly with a smile on his face.

Before Die Xiang approached, Li Zhonglan covered her nose and shouted, "What's the smell on you? Why is it so strong!"

Dioxin sniffed her sleeve in surprise, and asked, "It still smells? This subordinate has already changed clothes."

"Don't come here yet!" Li Zhonglan said as he spread his five fingers, a silver sachet appeared out of nowhere in his palm, he threw the sachet to Die Xiang, and scolded, "Talk to me after a good fumigation!"

Die Xiang grabbed the sachet and couldn't laugh or cry. She felt that Mr. Lan was much more active and domineering than before, but he was very energetic and his magic power surprised her. It seemed that His Royal Highness really took good care of him.

The two looked at each other in embarrassment for a long time, Die Xiang slowly approached, although Li Zhonglan was still covering her nose, but she didn't dislike her any more, she just asked, "Where have you been, and you still have a fishy smell all over your body?"

Die Xiang replied: "His Royal Highness said that Mr. Lan wanted to eat fish and clams, so he sent his subordinates to Qilu to buy them. After buying them, his subordinates rushed for a day, and just delivered the seafood. Come to pay Mrs. Lan a visit."

With a thought, Li Zhonglan saw the two big bags under the eyes of Diexiang's swollen face, she quickly removed her hand covering her nose, and said slightly touched, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Die Xiang smiled back and said: "It is a blessing for my subordinates to be able to work for Mr. Lan."

Li Zhonglan saw that although there were beads of sweat on Die Xiang's forehead, there was a touch of bright pink on her cheeks, and the other party was wearing a strong outfit, but she was wearing a gold bracelet on her wrist, so she couldn't help gossiping: "Die Xiang, when did you marry Jin Yan? "

Die Xiang blushed, and hesitated: "Jin Yan hasn't proposed marriage yet, so I don't know yet."

"It's unreasonable!" Li Zhonglan slapped the stone table and said angrily, "This Jinyan looks honest, but I didn't expect it to delay you. I have to talk to him well so that he can marry you in as soon as possible."

Die Xiang lowered her head shyly, and gave her a blessing: "Thank you, Young Master!"

After Die Xiang left, half an hour later, Zhao Tingjie walked over with a few maids carrying food boxes.The maid arranged the food on the stone table, and finally brought out a bowl of noodles, which was covered with flatfish and clams, which tasted very delicious.

Li Zhonglan curled her lips and said, "Fish and clams are good for braised or soup, why mix them with pasta?"

Zhao Tingjie sat beside him, scratched his pink nose, and asked, "What day is today, think about it."

Li Zhonglan suddenly realized that today is his birthday. No wonder Ting Jie was in a hurry to buy Die Xiang to buy seafood. He presumably wanted to cook this bowl of noodles for him, but he only mentioned it to Ting Jie once when he was 15 years old. I will firmly remember it.

Although she was moved in her heart, Li Zhonglan complained, "Why didn't you celebrate for me last year?"

Zhao Tingjie smiled and said, "I sent you a cart of orchids, did you forget?"

Li Zhonglan's smile couldn't hold back anymore, he gave the other party an affectionate look, then grabbed the silver chopsticks, and started to eat the bowl of noodles seriously.

Seeing that he picked out all the flatfish and clams in the bowl, and the noodles remained intact, Zhao Tingjie frowned and said, "Lan'er, these are longevity noodles, you must eat them."

Li Zhonglan never liked noodles, so she bargained with Zhao Tingjie: "Can I eat one?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tingjie agreed very readily: "Yes."

So Li Zhonglan picked up a piece of noodles and sipped it into her mouth, but she didn't know that Zhao Tingjie bullied him because she didn't know how to eat noodles, because Changshou noodles had only one piece of noodles.

As a result, Li Zhonglan ate for a long time, and found that the noodle was not broken, she couldn't help but annoyed: "Why is this noodle so long?"

"Why don't you call it Longevity Noodles." Seeing Zhong Lan's annoyed look on his face, Ting Jie joked, "The noodles can't be broken, otherwise your lifespan won't be long!"

Li Zhonglan struggled to eat for a long time, and found that the noodles were still intact, she couldn't bear it anymore, bit off the noodles, and said angrily, "Even if I lose my life, I won't eat it!"

Zhao Tingjie had no choice but to pick up Zhonglan's silver chopsticks, put the noodles in front of him, and said, "Let me continue your life for you."

When the two were eating noodles in the garden, Wang Yunyi had received the news, and quickly summoned Mrs. Chen to discuss it: "It seems that the disobedient Hou lied, Li Zhonglan's birthday is not in winter, and the demon must not be Li Yuzheng's wife. born!"

Chen nodded and said: "Even a concubine has royal blood after all, so he can be a proton. Why did the disobedient prince lie? According to what the slave family saw, that monster Li Zhonglan should not be an heir of the royal family!"

Wang Yunyi's eyes lit up, and she laughed sinisterly: "If that's the case, then the demon will surely escape death! Let's wait and see the reaction of the demon on the day of Hou's birthday."

On the Qiqiao Festival in the third year of Taiping Xingguo, Li Yu simply set up a banquet at home. Zhao Tingmei, who has been named the King of Qi, visited with his nephew Zhao Yuanzuo to celebrate Li Yu's birthday.

What is Li Zhonglan doing at this moment?

He pestered Zhao Tingjie to take him to the market.Zhao Tingjie thought it was troublesome to go out and change his appearance, so he evaded: "Don't you like the market?"

Li Zhonglan said: "When it's deserted, I want to be more lively."

Zhao Tingjie pressed his eyebrows and pretended to be dissatisfied: "With me here, do you still feel deserted?"

Li Zhonglan looked at the other party with a wide smile, then put her head on the neck of the courtyard, and said with a smile: "It's not deserted, with you here, I am willing to go anywhere."

Li Zhonglan's rare talk of love made Zhao Tingjie very satisfied, and the Great Demon King said kindly: "You have to take good care of your husband when you come back."

The little fox nodded repeatedly.

So Zhao Tingjie changed his appearance and took Li Zhonglan to watch the excitement.

In the garden, Wang Yunyi angrily smashed the melons and fruits enshrined to the Weaver Girl, and Mrs. Chen persuaded: "Fortunately, we also know that Li Zhonglan is not Li Yu's son, and this can be regarded as great news from the Weaver Girl Empress. "

Wang Yunyi sneered and said: "That bitch won't be proud for a few days, let's see how arrogant he is!"

The next day, Wang Yunyi wanted to write a letter to ask his father Wang Pu to read Li Zhonglan's copy. Unexpectedly, something strange happened. Li Yu died suddenly last night.

Wang Yunyi had an idea and wanted to observe Li Zhonglan's behavior again.

After Li Zhonglan learned the news of Li Yu's death, she was really depressed. After all, she was the old lord of the old country, and her death meant that the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past had really become a yellow flower of yesterday.Zhong Lan felt sad again, Ting Jie patted his back lightly to comfort him: "Let me accompany you to worship."

The two came to the Mansion of Disobedient Marquis, and saw Empress Xiao Zhou in plain clothes, stupefied in the mourning hall, while Li Yu's son, Li Zhongyu, knelt on the ground and burned paper with a solemn expression.

When Li Zhongyu saw Li Zhonglan approaching, he gave him a cold look. When he saw Zhao Tingjie, he suddenly lost his mind, jumped up, and swung his fist to hit him.

But how could he be Zhao Tingjie's opponent? After a few rounds, the latter grabbed his hands. Zhao Tingjie kicked him in the calf, forcing him to kneel down.

Li Zhongyu was not convinced, and kept cursing: "You Zhao killed my father, and there is no good person named Zhao!"

Zhao Tingjie reprimanded: "You just lost your father, so I forgive you for being biased in your words and deeds. If there is another time, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that she and Ting Jie had become unwelcome people, Li Zhonglan had no choice but to bow to the mourning hall, and then dragged Ting Jie back home.

Three days later, when Li Yu went to the funeral, Li Zhonglan accompanied her in plain clothes, but she saw Zhao Tingmei, who looked haggard, near the cemetery.

Seeing King Qi standing far away, Zhong Lan wanted to go over and talk to him, but Zhao Tingmei froze and left in a hurry.

Li Zhonglan will listen to Zhao Tingjie about this matter, and Tingjie sighed: "It is said that the fourth uncle killed Li Yu, but the fourth uncle respects Li Yu so much on weekdays, how can he kill him?"

Li Zhonglan's face sank like water, and she asked doubtfully, "Could it be Zhao Guangyi's murderous hand?"

Zhao Tingjie frowned into a "Chuan" word, obviously he also had such doubts, he said: "I heard from Die Xiang that Li Yu's old minister Xu Xuan is a master drug maker, Zhao Guangyi must have this person to help him, it must be like a tiger with wings."

"Teacher?" Li Zhonglan was astonished. The long-standing doubts seemed to have a reasonable explanation, but he still couldn't believe it. He shook his head and said, "Teacher is an upright person, it won't be like this!"

"Little fool!" Zhao Tingjie scratched Li Zhonglan's nose and said worriedly, "There is no real integrity in seeking a job in his position. You should pay more attention in the future and don't be deceived by appearances."

"I have you!" Li Zhonglan didn't like preaching, so she acted like a baby.

Zhao Tingjie smiled softly, hugged the little fox tightly, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will take good care of you."
