After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General

A few days later, it was the grand concubine selection day, and the palace was busy from top to bottom.

Zhao Yelan stayed at home without a job, tasting the newly arrived lychees.

Lychees are hard to come by, Lingnan only paid tribute to Beijing yesterday, and today the emperor gave some to several ministers who worked hard, including Yan Mingting.

Yan Mingting himself doesn't like to eat this thing, he just thinks it's a lot of work to peel it off, and it's really troublesome to wash it after the juice rolls on his hands.

But he sat aside and watched Zhao Yelan peel the lychee. Two slender hands peeled off the scale-like shell, revealing the tender and plump flesh. The moist juice touched his fingertips. There was a basin of cold water beside him. If you feel sticky, go to clean your hands.

Then the pulp was bitten into the mouth, and the bright red thin lips became more moist, and the spit out nucleus was only the size of a fingernail, with a hint of sweetness.

So repeated, do not mind tossing.

Yan Mingting was so fascinated by the sight that he was a bit tongue-in-cheek, after he peeled one again, he leaned over and bit off the flesh in one bite.

Zhao Yelan was taken aback, the lychee meat that reached his mouth suddenly flew away, his face sank, and he said displeasedly, "Don't you have long hands?"

"Stingy, I'll just give you one back." Yan Mingting peeled one eagerly, and fed it to his mouth, "Here."

Zhao Yelan glanced at the lychee meat, and stretched out his hand to pick it up, but the other party stuffed it into his mouth suddenly, so he had to open his mouth to swallow it, and glanced at him angrily.

Yan Mingting thought it was funny, the look in his eyes seemed to be smiling but not angry, which just happened to make his heart flutter.

Yan Mingting simply placed the basket in front of him, intending to feed him one by one, but Zhao Yelan stopped eating after realizing his careful thinking. It so happened that Gao Tan came back with a basket, which contained a big watermelon. To quench his thirst in summer, he first put it into the well to cool off.

There is also a bunch of grapes in the basket, which are big and plump, very attractive, if this is fed to him, why not... Yan Mingting began to fantasize, feeling a little hot for some reason.

He reached out to grab the grapes, but was slapped away by Zhao Yelan: "Go eat your lychees, don't come and grab my things."

As if afraid that he would **** it away, she carried the basket and walked towards the bedroom, as soon as she entered the door, she turned her head and asked Gao Tan: Is anyone following?

Gao Tan shook his head.

Zhao Yelan just took out the note from the basket, unfolded it, and was stunned.

— Two pieces of good news. One, the cell boss has been found and is in my hands. What do you want to do with it? Second, the medicine is finally ready, when do you plan to act?

"I just want to eat a few grapes from you. As for hiding so far away?" Yan Mingting's voice appeared at the door, and he trembled undetectably, pretending to be calm, he held the note in his palm and turned around. Turning away, he changed the subject and said, "Is there any news about Yao Mize's master?"

"Still looking for it." Yan Mingting didn't know why he suddenly asked this matter, but when he thought of him being so caring, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful, "If there is any news, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

"Let's go, go eat grapes." Zhao Yelan lowered his head, eyes dimmed, and then stuffed the note into the sachet without any trace.

In the evening, after eating, the two sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and drink tea.

There was news from the palace that the general election was over, a total of 32 people were selected, and Sun Muyun was named a noble person.

"Young lady idle?" Yan Mingting laughed twice, "I think she is quite idle, how can she be idle in the palace in the future?"

Zhao Yelan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Maybe she will have a lot of achievements in the future. If you meet her in Jiangnan, you will be a good friend."

"You want to go to the south of the Yangtze River so much?" Yan Mingting thought for a while, then smiled, "Why don't I take a leave of absence from the imperial court and let's go south for a trip, how about that? I haven't been to the south either, so I don't know why It's not really as good as Sun Muyun said."

Zhao Yelan pinched the sachet and said, "Let's talk about it, there are still many things to do in Beijing."

"What can be the matter." Yan Mingting put his hands on his head and looked up at the moon, "I haven't had anything to do since I came back to Beijing. I go to the court every day and I'm done. I don't care about any big things. It's up to us to listen to the quarrels of those civil servants."

"Isn't this a good job? How many people can only dream of a good job without having to do anything with a salary." Zhao Yelan laughed.

"But I'm too busy." Yan Mingting sighed.

"If you are so idle, go and kill the watermelon in the well."

Yan Mingting immediately went to kill melons and came back with a large plate of watermelons. Just as Zhao Yelan reached out to grab a piece, he snatched it away.

"It's too cold, let it sit for a while before you eat." Yan Mingting said.

"Nothing." Zhao Yelan went to get it again, but was stopped by him again.

"Be obedient, I finally stopped coughing recently, don't worry about getting sick again."

Zhao Yelan sighed deeply, feeling that Yan Mingting's long-winded words were difficult to deal with. He specially ices the watermelon, isn't it just to have a cold mouth?

Two days later, Yan Mingting reported the news of the border to the emperor. Although the Mongolian people had surrendered, there was a little movement from time to time recently, and they needed to send more people to watch over them. They planned to order Zhong Yuehong to send 3,000 soldiers back to the border.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Xuan agreed, and rewarded Zhong Yuehong with some good things, and went up a level.

On the day of seeing off, many officials went to greet each other for a while, and then went back home.

Yan Mingting rode out of the city ahead, followed by He Cuizhang and Zhong Yuehong. In the carriage was Zhong Mu and all her belongings.

To go here is to decide never to come back.

After arriving outside the city, He Cuizhang saw Zhong Yuehong looking around all the time, poked her on the shoulder with a whip, and pointed to the pavilion in the distance: "Here, Master Zhao is there."

In order to prevent those censors and civil officials from reading their books because he was close to this group of generals, Zhao Yelan went out of the city first and waited in the pavilion, so as to avoid bumping into other colleagues and making false claims.

"Lord Zhao!" Zhong Yuehong swung his whip and galloped out of the pavilion.

As soon as Zhao Yelan stood up, she turned over and got off the horse. With a "plop", she knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for saving your life. My little girl will never forget it. From now on, the sky will be high and the water will be far away. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Zhao, and stay safe for the rest of your life." .”

Zhao Yelan helped her up, and smiled sincerely: "It's just a matter of raising your hands. Although the capital city is dangerous, it is not as blind as the frontier. Be careful and don't be careless."

"Keep it in mind, Yue Hong." Zhong Yuehong nodded heavily, his eyes were a little red, he raised his arm and wiped away his tears, then picked up the wine glass on the table, "My lord, general, you can send it here."

Yan Mingting also picked up his wine glass: "Take care, and send me a message if you have anything to do."

"I'll replace wine with tea and practice it for you." Zhao Yelan poured a cup of tea.

The three drank it all together, Zhao Yelan took out another package and gave it to her. Zhong Yuehong opened it and saw that it was a newly made dress.

"The material was given by the nobleman before, so I naturally don't need it. Wear it if you want to wear it. Don't be afraid. If you meet Mr. Ruyi in the future, you can also wear it for him. If there is no man who can make your heart beat, Then you can be your own hero and wear it for yourself." Zhao Yelan said.

Tears welled up in Zhong Yuehong's eyes again, and he nodded solemnly, as if he was afraid of being seen crying, turned around and quickly mounted his horse, waved his back to them, and led the army away without looking back.

The mighty team gradually disappeared from sight. Yan Mingting turned his head to look at Zhao Yelan. Seeing that he was looking far away, he didn't know whether he was looking at the long-distance team or the vast sky. She, go back."

They returned to the city, because after Zhong Yuehong left, someone needed to be arranged to take her place and tasks. Yan Mingting hired a sedan chair, told Gao Tan to protect the good people, and went to the school grounds with He Cuizhang.

Unexpectedly, the sedan chair was stopped by someone on the road, Li Yucheng lifted the curtain with a smile: "Hey, I said it must be you inside, what a coincidence, Brother Zhao."

"Unfortunately." Zhao Yelan looked at his bruised nose and swollen face, and said coolly, "You fought hard."

"That's right." Li Yucheng touched Wu Qing's eyes, "I beat Fu Qian like this to help you save someone."

"You and Fu Qian have been at odds for a long time." Zhao Yelan said.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Li Yucheng said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Do you want to listen to the music with me?"

Zhao Yelan took a good look at him, recalled the conversation he had heard with Fu Qian Qiangren in front of the Hongxiu Tower that day, and said clearly: "Could it be that you fell in love with that Miaoyin lady and wanted to marry her back, but your father refused If you agree, you want me to be a lobbyist?"

Li Yucheng's face turned red, and he hesitated and said: "I am not capable of writing or martial arts, and I am twenty-one. If I can start a family, maybe my father will be happier. But you know my reputation, how can there be a good woman willing Marry me, but A Chang is different. Not only does she sing beautifully, but she never dislikes me."

"You are her benefactor, so of course I won't dislike you." Zhao Yelan poked his heart straight.

"She sells her art but not her body! Moreover, many people throw money at her, but she likes to ignore it." Li Yucheng said.

"Then why did you find me? You should go to a matchmaker, or someone else is more suitable."

"My father's colleagues don't want to see me at all, and they don't understand the beauty of rhythm! And my father actually admires you. Every time I want to trouble you, he not only tells me not to provoke you, but also praises you One sentence, that's why I'm even angrier..." Li Yucheng smiled mischievously.

The sedan chair happened to pass by the Red Sleeve Building, Li Yucheng urged him again, he was in a daze, and the sedan chair missed it.

"Brother Zhao, I beg you, please help me! You can do whatever you want!" Li Yucheng begged bitterly.

Zhao Yelan changed his mind, and said: "It's getting late, let's change another day." After speaking, he put down the curtain.

"Okay, it will happen some other day, and I will leave my life's affairs to you!" Li Yucheng shouted to the sedan chair, and then excitedly ran back to the Hongxiu Tower, looking for his confidante to discuss marriage.

In the evening, after Yan Mingting came back, he heard that Zhao Yelan and Li Yucheng were flirting on the street, so he didn't feel sullen this time, and said directly to Zhao Yelan, "Can you stop eating and drinking with those cheesy faces in the future?"

"I don't drink." Zhao Yelan was feeding the rabbit, then patted its head, got up and walked to his side, "Who did you listen to? Yu Dali?"

Yan Mingting did not answer.

"How did you promise me that in front of them, my orders will definitely override you. How are you different from the people sent by the emperor to monitor me? You should remember what happened to those people, right? If you don't want Yu Dali and the others to die tragically, don't ask them about my whereabouts." Zhao Yelan said coldly.

"No, my lord... I told the general." Gao Tan muttered from the side.

Zhao Yelan looked at him suddenly: "Who the **** are you?!"

"The general gave me this..." Gao Tan tremblingly took out a bunch of candied haws, his tone was very pitiful, "I said that I will take you out to swim in the lake tonight, so I said you might be a little tired today..."

"What lake do you swim at night?" Zhao Yelan asked.

Yan Mingting said: "I see that you are a little bored in the mansion all day long, I want to take you to relax, do you want to go?"

Zhao Yelan's throat choked up, he just turned around and followed him to go swimming in the lake after he finished beating someone, he was really embarrassed, so he refused: "No, I'm going to bed."

"Okay then, let's go to the lake another day." Yan Mingting said.

After he left the yard, Yan Mingting asked Gao Tan in a low voice: "What's the matter with your lord? You come to your temper as soon as you say it, so you are still getting angry outside today?"

"I don't know, his temper is really unpredictable, don't you know, General?" Gao Tan said while eating candied haws, "It seems that there are a few days in every month where he gets angry very easily."

"..."

Yan Mingting just felt that the reaction this time was a little too big, and he was fine when he saw Zhong Yuehong off tomorrow afternoon, could it be that Li Yucheng got mad at him?

At night, Yan Mingting lay on the ground and asked softly, "Are you asleep?"

"What's up?"

"What's the matter with you these days?"

"nothing?"

"Is it weak and weak, emotionally out of control, abdominal pain is unbearable, won't there be blood?"

Zhao Yelan frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Yan Mingting covered his mouth embarrassingly, and said again: "You haven't promised me yet, don't go out with those little boys in the future."

"why?"

"Because... someone can gossip! And isn't Wang Guisheng your pawn? No one hangs around with pawns all day long. Doesn't this make it clear to others that the two of you are together?"

Zhao Yelan was amused in his heart, so he didn't expose him, he just said: "Okay, I won't do it in the future." There was no such chance.

Only then did Yan Mingting fall asleep satisfied.

For several days in a row, Yan Mingting saw Li Yucheng's figure nearby, and made a fist at him from a distance, and then Li Yucheng ran away like a mouse meeting a cat, and slipped away.

On this day, Li Yucheng had figured out Yan Mingting's rules of going out, and while he was out, he came to the General's Mansion and shouted, "Brother Zhao, are you there?"

Zhao Yelan walked out brightly and looked at him without saying a word.

"I brought you something good!" Li Yucheng took out a sachet, "This is my sister's favorite sachet. It contains dozens of kinds of floral fragrances. It is cool and pleasant in summer. I made this. If you I like it, I will give it to you, I will even tell you the recipe!"

Zhao Yelan took it over and sniffed it: "Let's go."

"Okay!"

An hour later, Yan Mingting returned from the school grounds. Before reaching the General's Mansion, he heard pedestrians chattering about Zhao Yelan. He immediately reined in his horse and pulled someone along to ask, "Where did you say Zhao Yelan went?"

"He went to the brothel with Li Yucheng!"

Yan Mingting: "!!"

Good job, I only promised him last night not to have dinner with the little boys, and today I'm looking for the girls instead!
