Prince Yu's Mansion
Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day to elect martial arts teachers for these children. Tonight, Luo Lan and Leng Yu are sorting out the list of applicants and screening them first. Tomorrow they will let them go on stage one by one according to their ranking to compete.
Looking at the long list in his hand, Luo Lan frowned in surprise.
"My dear, I never thought that we would have so many people sign up just to recruit a martial arts teacher."
Leng Yu looked at the list in her hand and shook her head helplessly:
"Firstly, the salary we offer is higher. Secondly, everyone knows that our Yu Palace will not let down a martial arts teacher. Our children are also smart and eager to learn. If they can serve in the Yu Palace for a long time, they will make great contributions in the future. The Yu Palace will naturally not treat them unfairly, so everyone wants to try."
"But with so many people showing up at once, I'm afraid it'll take three days of competition. Otherwise, let's just draw randomly!"
"How can that be possible? I heard that these people came to the capital long ago to prepare for their service at Prince Yu's Mansion. If they are not even allowed to enter the arena, wouldn't that be too unfair?"
Luo Lan also felt that Leng Yu's words made some sense. She frowned and said in a dilemma:
"What should we do? Do we really need three days to select talents?"
"Three days is enough. Just let the people see the excitement. The people of this capital city love to join in the fun."
"All right."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and nodded helplessly. She picked up the list in her hand and instructed Xiao Lingzi:
"Then let's arrange them to compete in the order they signed up. Oh, and tell Ali that anyone who signed up and lost will be given three or four round-trip funds. We can't let them make a wasted trip."
Xiao Lingzi took the list and nodded.
"I understand, but isn't three taels of silver per person a bit too much?"
"Not much. Some people came a few days in advance. Even with food and lodging, I'm afraid these three taels may not be enough. It's easy for us in Prince Yu's Mansion to make some money, but it's not easy for these people. Just do as I say!"
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
After Xiao Lingzi left, Luo Lan said to Leng Yu:
"Go to bed early. I have a lot of things to do these days."
Leng Yu stood up, pulled her into his arms, and whispered softly in her ear,
"My lady has been very busy these past few days. How about I treat you tonight?"
Luo Lan knew what he meant, and her face instantly turned red. She reached back, grabbed his Adam's apple, half-closed her eyes and smiled evilly:
"There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is plowed to death. What do I have to fear..."
"Bad girl."
Leng Yu bent down and held her horizontally in his arms. Luo Lan struggled to break free.
"Don't make a fuss, I can walk by myself."
"I want to hold you, like before."
"I have so many children. This makes people laugh. Put me down now."
"Who dares to laugh? This is in Prince Yu's mansion. Whoever dares to laugh will have his mouth sewn shut."
As he spoke, he picked up Luo Lan and walked out of the main hall regardless of anything. When Acai and Ahong, who were guarding the door, saw this scene, they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him, but were all smiling secretly.
Leng Yu held Luo Lan in his arms and swaggered through the main courtyard of the palace and walked towards the backyard.
Fortunately, it was already dark, otherwise Luo Lan's face would have turned as red as a monkey's butt.
The night is as dark as water, and as it gets deeper and quieter, from that room filled with love, you can hear the occasional gasp of love, which makes people blush and their hearts beat faster.
…
The next morning, Leng Xi finally felt a little more energetic. This night was long and difficult for him. Last night, he was even worried that he would not be able to see the sunrise today.
When the sun shone into the room, he slowly opened his eyes. To his surprise, he saw through the sunlight that Yu Qiaoqiao was taking a nap on the table.
Could it be that she was the one who came to feed him water last night?
He self-deprecatingly rejected this idea in his heart. This woman wished he would die, and she would not even give him water.
It turned out that because he had diarrhea for a whole day and night, he was severely dehydrated. If someone had not fed him water in time, he would not have woken up this morning.
The maids and servants in the mansion wanted to feed him water, but they didn't dare to go near him, for fear that they would use too much force and anger him, which would put their lives in danger.
Xiao Cui, who was almost favored by him, wanted to get close to him, but he scolded her back in a daze. Xiao Cui felt wronged and went back to her room to cry.
Finally, the helpless girl came to Yu Qiaoqiao for help. Thinking of Xiaobao, Yu Qiaoqiao considered it again and again and went to his room to give him water.
But at this time, he was already in a coma. He only knew that someone came to feed him water, but he didn't know who that person was.
Before the imperial physician left yesterday, he specifically instructed that no one should be left here, fearing that Leng Xi would be in danger, so Yu Qiaoqiao chose to stay.
Even though she hated him in her heart, she knew that he was her man after all. Even if she didn't want to live with him, Xiaobao couldn't live without him.
Leng Xi turned his head and looked at Yu Qiaoqiao who was sleeping soundly on the table, and suddenly felt a little moved.
When this woman married him, she was still a naive and ignorant lady from a noble family, but now she has been slowly tempered into a resentful woman.
He admitted in his heart that a big reason for his indifference was that he already had Long Xiaomin in his heart and there was no room for another woman, so he neglected her, which made her resentment even worse.
Xiaobao was seven years old, and they had been married for seven years. During these seven years, he had only loved her once, and that was when she became pregnant with Xiaobao. From then on, she lived the life of a widow. It was really hard for her to live alone in an empty room like this.
