Chapter 69: Emotional Under the Moon
Xie Jinglan looked at the seriousness in her eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course there are a lot of benefits."
He stretched out his big palm and gently held her slightly cold knuckles. His thumb touched her fingertips and counted them one by one.
“First, once you join the Medical Bureau, you can access medicinal books from all over the country, and you don’t have to go to the library to look through old volumes.
Second, he received a salary from the imperial court and did not have to rely on others.
Thirdly, with my status as a female official, if I were to encounter the same situation as before regarding the epidemic, I would be able to avoid at least 30% of the difficulties I face."
He paused and looked down at her.
"There is another rule. The court has regulations that female officials are free to marry. They can choose their own good partner or remain single for life. Even if it is someone from their parents' clan, they cannot be forced to marry."
Xie Jinglan thought that he might only have three years to live, and wondered how long he could spend with her.
What if Cai Huichun fails to develop the antidote and dies? Will she be able to live well?
He knew her abilities and that she could make a living from her medical skills.
But she is so beautiful that I am afraid her beauty will cause chaos.
Just like Tang Zhu and Liu Mingjing, neither of them was tempted by beauty.
And myself, haven't I ever raped her?
There is nothing wrong with women's beauty, it is men who are wrong.
Therefore, if she could become a female official, those men would not dare to do anything wrong.
If she doesn't want to marry, she won't marry. She can marry whoever she wants.
Wen Ning's eyelashes drooped low. She quietly raised her buttocks and, under the pretext of adjusting her sitting position, turned half of her body to the side very naturally.
She whispered, "This lady-in-waiting's rules are really comprehensive."
She also didn't know what Xie Jinglan meant, whether he wanted her to get married or not.
But when she thought about taking the exam to become a female official, she felt a little worried and frightened.
I couldn't help but adjust my body back.
"Can I take the exam for a female official?"
Xie Jinglan reached out and took the document from her hand, tapping it gently on her palm. "You can do it! You have the perseverance to save the people of Yuezhou, but you can't handle the assessment of a mere female official?
Besides, I have found a private school for you. The teacher is a retired female official from the Imperial Hospital of the previous dynasty. She will teach you little by little what you lack or miss."
After hearing what he said, Wen Ning didn't know what happened, but suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Xie Jinglan was caught off guard and was shocked by her attack.
Her face was buried in his chest, and the fragrance of her hair mixed with her body fragrance, lingering around him.
Wen Ning raised her jasmine-like little face, looked at the handsome face that was magnified in front of her, and couldn't help but want to kiss him.
She never understood why the Marquis always loved to kiss her.
There are obviously many things that can be said in a nice way, but you have to use such a affectionate way.
At this moment, she seemed to understand that sometimes, a kiss can express more than words.
The man's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he was about to say something.
The woman's cherry-red lips covered his.
Her eyelashes were drooping, and she could see the straight curve of his nose.
Wen Ning felt the man's thin lips were a little cold, but they immediately warmed up as their breaths intertwined.
She tilted her head slightly, imitating him, and gently rubbed her lips against his.
The man raised his hand, trying to grab her shoulder, but was suddenly suspended in mid-air.
Cai Huichun's words came to his mind, and he forced himself to clench his hands into fists.
His breathing became noticeably disordered, and this subtle change gave Wen Ning courage.
Without his response, she could only clutch his shirt tighter and push herself clumsily into his arms.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jinglan curled the corners of his lips and chuckled.
He pressed his lips against hers and said in a very soft voice, "It's not like that, Ning'er." As he spoke, he took up her wrist, which was frozen in front of her chest, and guided her arm to wrap around the back of his neck. "It's better to do it this way so that you can use more strength and be more stable."
The distance between them suddenly shortened, and she was almost completely pressed against his arms.
Wen Ning's ears turned red from what the man said. Just as she was about to retort, he grabbed her neck and covered her lips with a familiar force.
This time, with her arms around his neck, her body was indeed much more stable.
Xie Jinglan's kiss was deep and slow, with patient guidance.
After kissing for so long, even breathing became a luxury.
The moonlight flowed, shining slowly on the two of them.
Until she was almost out of breath, the man leaned against her forehead and chuckled, "Well, this time it's more decent."
"Still laughing." Wen Ning's face was dyed with shame. She buried her face in his arms and her fist landed lightly on his back.
Xie Jinglan held down her restless little hand and suddenly whispered, "The night is getting colder. I'll take you back to your room."
Wen Ning's heart paused slightly, and she rubbed her nose against his collar.
He has been doing this lately. He would read with her in the study for half an hour, then send her back to her room, and then he would go back to his own room.
Wen Ning thought that he was worried because she was not well from last time, so he was hesitant.
She buried her face in his arms again, and the strands of hair on top of her head rubbed against his jaw, causing a slight itchy sensation.
"My body... is healed now," she said, and suddenly raised her head slightly, her nose brushing against the skin of his neck, her eyes falling on the small black mole on his Adam's apple.
Without thinking much, she leaned over and gently touched the mole with her lips.
Her Adam's apple rolled suddenly, and the small inky mole under her lip moved slightly.
Wen Ning found the slight vibration quite interesting, and a childish curiosity suddenly arose in her heart. She unconsciously increased the strength a little and gently held the small inky mole with her lips.
"Ning'er." The hand on her waist suddenly tightened, and Wen Ning could feel the trembling of his voice coming from his throat.
At this moment, with the warm and soft beauty in his arms, her lips, which smelled like orchids, were pressed against his most vulnerable point, and Xie Jinglan's reason was almost strained.
He closed his eyes and weighed what Old Man Cai said.
It's harmless once, just once, it shouldn't hurt her.
"Ning'er..." He called her in a hoarse voice and pressed her into his arms.
The next second, the man's kiss slid down her neck, and his thin lips brushed the delicate skin of her neck with a scorching temperature.
Then he turned around and punished the ignorant red lips, turning all the mischievousness into the lingering passion between his lips and teeth.
A glass lamp swayed beside the pillars wrapped with wisteria, and the warm yellow light spread over, colliding with the moonlight pouring in from outside the corridor, pouring down on the overlapping figures of the two people, tinging the hot intimacy with a bit of clear glow.
Wen Ning was kissed so hard that her whole body went limp. She finally managed to turn her head and take a breath.
She shook his sleeve lightly, and the rosy glow spread from his neck to his cheeks.
"My Lord, there are people on duty outside..."
Before she finished her words, the woman felt herself rising into the air.
The tall figure stepped over the silver satin paved with moonlight, crushing the bright light in the corridor with his footsteps.
The gilded hook of the bed in the inner room trembled suddenly, and he leaned down, and his shadow completely covered her.
His fingertips brushed against her long black hair scattered on the pillow, and his voice was filled with a husky tone. "This time, it was Ning'er who provoked me first."
