The next day, Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er went horseback riding together, sharing a horse and looking incredibly sweet.
After riding back, we packed up and went home.
Life on the farm was comfortable, but one could not stay there for long.
After returning, Yinzhen investigated Bian Lan's information. Since the young princess had taken a liking to her, Yinzhen felt that Bian Lan must have some merits.
Yinzhen had just sent someone to investigate when Bian Lan learned that Tong Cheng'er had asked Mo Ting about the two couplets she had mentioned.
Bian Lan's first reaction was: "Why would the dean ask about this couplet?"
Mo Ting said, "It's my fault. I was chatting with Mo Han when the Fujin overheard us. She found it interesting and said a few more words."
Bian Lan continued, "Was the dean very interested in couplets before?"
Mo Ting shook his head: "I've never heard of that. Actually, you don't know, before the Fujin married the master, she was not very prominent in the capital. When the imperial edict came down, many people were shocked. It is said that the Fujin was very famous for being lazy in her boudoir. I don't like socializing much, so my reputation isn't very good."
Bian Lan: "According to this logic, Princess Xinghai wouldn't be interested in couplets."
Or are you only interested in two special "codes"?
At this point, the possibility that Tong Cheng'er was a fellow villager from another time has greatly increased.
Mo Ting replied, "Who knows what the Princess Consort is thinking! I'm just letting you know about this."
Bian Lan: "Thank you."
Bian Lan seemed preoccupied. Mo Chenyu noticed and asked her, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy."
Bian Lan shook her head and smiled, "Sir, I'm not unhappy."
It doesn't look like it! Never mind if you don't want to say anything.
Mo Chenyu thought for a moment and said, "Bian Lan, you can tell me anything."
Bian Lan said gratefully, "Thank you, sir. I will."
Bian Lan assumed that Mo Chenyu was referring to academic matters and didn't think much of it.
The two were talking at cross purposes, but it didn't affect the flow of the conversation.
Mo Chenyu sighed.
Yinzhen went to investigate Bian Lan's side and found that there was no problem with the person. Mo Chenyu did value him. Since that was the case, it would be good to have someone to help Mo Chenyu. So he called Mo Chenyu over and asked him to hand over more things, such as those "blueprints" that could not be known to outsiders.
Mo Chenyu was also quite happy. He used to work hard to repay the kindness of Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er, but after learning about Bian Lan's daughter's passing, his efforts were also for Bian Lan's sake.
He hopes that Bian Lan will one day be able to regain her female identity and be well again.
Mo Chenyu knew Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er somewhat; they were his people, especially useful ones, and quite tolerant and generous. Mo Chenyu just wanted to make himself more useful.
If Bian Lan becomes irreplaceable due to her own abilities, then whether she is male or female becomes irrelevant.
Mo Chenyu went back and called Bian Lan over.
"Sir, is there something you need from me at this hour?"
According to past practice, Mo Chenyu should be busy with his own affairs at this time.
Mo Chenyu smiled and said, "I need to talk to you about something."
Bian Lan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Her tone was playful and cute, which put Mo Chenyu in a great mood.
"Take a look at these things and tell me how much you can understand."
Seeing that he was speaking mysteriously, Bian Lan asked in confusion, "What is this?" As she spoke, she opened the thick stack of papers.
Bian Lan opened it and was stunned. It wasn't an unfamiliar object; she could tell it was the prototype of a gun.
Mo Chenyu was puzzled by her expression; something seemed off about it.
"Have you seen what's on the blueprints?"
Bian Lan quickly shook her head: "No, I just think it's quite interesting, sir. What is this... what is this?"
Mo Chenyu thought he was overthinking it; how could Bian Lan possibly know what was on the blueprints?
Mo Chenyu explained it to her, and then Bian Lan looked at Mo Chenyu with a shocked expression. Of course, it was an act. After all, if you don't know the function of a musket, that's one thing, but if you do know, it's impossible to remain calm and collected!
"Sir, is it inappropriate for you to tell me these things?"
In fact, Bian Lan didn't want to know too much.
Mo Chenyu said, "Don't worry, the prince and the dean have allowed you to know these things. They are things that cannot be said. You should understand their importance. Just do a good job in the future, and the prince and the dean will not treat meritorious officials unfairly. Even if you make some requests in the future that do not involve the overall situation, the prince and the dean will agree to them."
Mo Chenyu was subtly telling her that she could "make contributions," and that as long as she made enough "merits," it would be easy for her to regain her female identity in the future.
Although Bian Lan didn't know that Mo Chenyu said it on purpose, she successfully understood the meaning behind his words. She also wanted to return to her female form. Let's not talk about her liking Mo Chenyu, since it was just wishful thinking on her part. Just this hair alone was something she really couldn't stand.
The "yin-yang head" hairstyle really pushed her limits.
"Sir, please rest assured that I have learned such important information. I will study hard and strive to achieve something as soon as possible, so as not to let you down, nor to disappoint the Prince and the Dean."
Mo Chenyu smiled with satisfaction. It's good that she has ambition; the only problem is that she doesn't.
"I trust you. You can ask me anything anytime."
Bian Lan smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."
Back in her room, Bian Lan suddenly felt that the air had become sweeter. Although she didn't know why she had been "entrusted with an important task" all of a sudden, it wasn't a bad thing. In history, Prince Yong was the future Emperor Yongzheng. Now, he or his wife were people who had traveled from the past and had done so many things that benefited the country and the people. There was no reason why they couldn't become emperor again.
She believes that as long as she works hard, she will be able to openly and proudly present herself as a woman in the future.
Once the gender barrier is removed, it's not impossible for her and Mo Chenyu to be together!
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the harder it was for her to fall asleep. As a result, Bian Lan suffered from insomnia. The next day, she went to Mo Chenyu's study with dark circles under her eyes, which startled Mo Chenyu: "What's wrong with you?"
Bian Lan: "Sir, I was just so happy that I went to bed a little late last night."
Judging from his appearance, he probably went to bed late, or maybe he didn't sleep at all.
Mo Chenyu joked, "It's okay for one day, but you can't go every day without being able to sleep."
Bian Lan quickly replied, "Of course not, I'm sure I'll be able to sleep tonight."
Mo Chenyu smiled and said, "Alright, I understand how you feel. I can't bear to make you do anything when you're like this. There's a sofa right next to us. Rest for half an hour and we'll talk again when you're more refreshed!"
Bian Lan was taken aback. It was rather unusual for someone to sleep on the "boss's" sofa on their very first day of working in a classified department!
But such benefits were simply too much for her, a new employee who secretly admired the "boss" to refuse!
Since I can't refuse, I can only enjoy this "perk".
However, one should still maintain a certain level of restraint.
Bian Lan looked bewildered and shy: "Sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
