Chapter Fifteen: Gathering at the Meng Lian Museum
The next day, Li Lanlou seemed to be much kinder to me. He didn't take me to see anything bloody and violent anymore, and spent the whole day among a pile of papers.
In order to thank him for telling me his emotional past, I worked extra hard. Maybe he saw my advantages, so he said to me leisurely,
"Have you always been so stunned?"
What? I think Li Lanlou takes pleasure in hurting me.
"Master Li, I think we are still not familiar with each other. Do you think this kind of joke is funny?"
"Are you angry? Don't be nervous, I'm just making a joke to tease you."
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to like teasing girls so much!" I said in a sinister tone.
"I regret it."
"What?"
"I regret telling you that."
That thing? It's just his gossip.
"You've said it, can you take it back? Or is the way you regret it is to make fun of me?"
He raised his head and looked at me seriously, "I may not be very good at speaking. If you are unhappy, I will take back what I said."
This person admitted his mistake faster than I thought.
"Okay, I forgive you." I said with a pout.
It's strange that when he talks like this, I feel relaxed.
Li Lanlou smiled, no longer his original expression as if everyone owed him money. The spring breeze turned into rain, and the young master was unparalleled.
The night was like water, and I returned to the palace. I knelt in front of the Queen. The Queen lightly stroked a hand of Ruyi, and her face looked rosy under the careful application of makeup.
"Wen Yun, after working with Li Lanlou for so many days, what do you think of him?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Li is calm and prudent in his work. He is very talented and is a rare talent."
"This is the consensus of everyone who works with Li Lanlou, and I know you are no exception. But other than that, what do you think?"
After being with the Queen for such a long time, I understood what the Queen meant and continued, "Master Li seems to be an ambitious person."
"That's right. Only an ambitious person can become the Yushi Cheng at this age. What's important is whether his ambition can be used by me."
Li Lanlou is able to achieve his current position not only because of his superior resourcefulness, but also because of his superior family background. His mother is the princess of Linle County, and his father is a victorious general who has fought with the late emperor in all directions. Although General Li is a military general
Although she was born in a wealthy family, she admired knowledgeable people very much, so before she died, she told Princess Linle that she must train her children in literature and not become a general like herself.
General Li's prediction was very good. After the Queen ascended the throne, among the new generation of courtiers, the Queen did not use a new general. As for the civil servants, just look at Li Lanlou now and you will know.
"Master Li, he seems willing to be honest with His Majesty."
"Tell me about it."
"From the first day I followed Mr. Li, he intentionally let me read all the important information." I swallowed what he told me about his emotional past.
"His frankness is a bit arrogant. Well, let's see what kind of petition he can come up with."
Li Lanlou seems to like spending time in Meng Lian Pavilion.
Bright curtains covered the whole room, and there were only three people inside. Li Lanlou poured a glass of fragrant wine, and his bodyguard Dongliu stood beside him. And I was invited by Li Lanlou to sit across from him and join him.
Sing to wine.
I didn't want to pretend to be a scholar and just watch him relax and have a drink alone.
When Li Lanlou sees me fidgeting, he will definitely make sarcastic remarks. This is my experience in getting along with him during this period.
Sure enough, he spoke, "I always thought you were somewhat talented, but why don't you know why you should talk to me today? Doesn't it mean that Miss Ye dislikes the filthy Meng Lian Pavilion and doesn't like my wine?"
"You have told the truth yourself, what else do you want me to say?"
"..."
"You were so busy a few days ago, why are you free to have fun at Meng Lian Pavilion now?"
He seemed dissatisfied with my choice of words, "Looking for fun? Do you know what planning is?"
"I know, but where you are now, are you Weiwei?"
"It seems you still dislike this place."
Needless to say, who likes to stay in an entertainment club all day long with an unfamiliar man, no, or two men?
"Indeed, few people here are clean."
After hearing this, I felt less happy and muttered in a low voice, "There will always be people in this world who emerge from the mire and remain unstained."
Li Lanlou drank wine today, and seemed to talk more and more shockingly, "Why, did you meet the person you like here who is out of the mud and untainted?"
I somehow got so angry that I slammed the table, but what I was thinking about was the scene when I met Ge Xiangming, "Why do you speak so frivolously!"
Li Lanlou saw that I was angry, and he seemed to be discouraged, "Okay, I made a mistake, I'm going out for a walk. Dongliu, you stay outside the door to protect Miss Ye."
Before leaving the house, he whispered, "Women are trouble."
I glared at him fiercely from behind. Li Lanlou didn't see it, but Dongliu did, but there was no reaction and he went outside obediently.
I was stunned by myself, thinking of Ge Xiangming's clean face. He was as handsome as Li Lanlou. Maybe he was clean.
I wanted to go outside to get some air, but Dongliu raised his hand to stop me, "Master Li didn't ask you to stop me."
Dongliu seemed a little embarrassed.
"That's all, just follow me out."
After leaving the door, I happened to see Li Lanlou surrounded by several very beautiful women, drinking from cup to cup.
I shook my head and continued downstairs.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure walking out the door carrying a baggage. The tall figure wrapped in cloth was particularly conspicuous.
I hurriedly ran down, "Wait!"
Dongliu reacted and did not follow me immediately. Instead, he went to tell Li Lanlou and whispered a few words softly.
I didn't pay attention to the movement on the other side and hurriedly caught up with him. I ran after him on the street, but I didn't even know his name.
"Wait a minute!" I shouted regardless of image.
Sure enough, many people on the street looked at me, but he still didn't look back.
I was walking, walking, when suddenly a hand covered my mouth and dragged me forcefully into a deserted alley next to me.
"Woo!" It was him.
"Why is it you again!" He was a little surprised, and I was a little sad, thinking that I had been thinking about him for so many days and was so anxious to find him, but now he covered my mouth and said "Why is it you again?"
His eyes were gradually filled with tears and became watery. Ge Xiangming took a look, let go of his hand, and said, "Why are you here?"
"This is not a forbidden area, why can't I come?"
"Did you just call me?"
"Asking even though you know it!"
