Rise From the Humble

After working in Wuyidian for two consecutive days and working overtime for two consecutive nights, Zhu Pingan finally got a short half-day holiday after the official document was issued on the morning of the third day. He could go home to rest for half a day and come back to work early the next morning. .

When Zhu Ping'an left the palace gate, he saw Liu Mu and Liu Dadao standing under the shade of a tree opposite. The two had been waiting outside for the past few days.

Liu Mu and Liu Dadao also saw Zhu Pingan at a glance and walked over with their horses. Zhu Pingan smiled and greeted the two of them and said a few words, and then the three of them rode their horses to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. go.

"Uncle is back"

Zhu Ping'an just entered the Tingyuxuan gate when he heard a happy response in Tingyuxuan, and then heard a burst of footsteps.

soon

Then they saw Li Shu, who had skin as white as snow and was very pretty, running from the courtyard holding the hem of her skirt in her slender hands, surrounded by the aura of joy, and came to Zhu Pingan like a butterfly.

After standing still, Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile. The two strands of hair blowing in the wind on her cheeks added a bit of seductive charm. Her pair of dark eyes were as bright as ink, like the two brightest stars in the night sky. stars.

So charming and charming.

When Zhu Ping'an saw Li Shu, who was slightly out of breath from trotting, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and his heart warmed up. During the past few days on duty in the cabinet, if he said who he missed the most, it was definitely the person in front of him. Little goblin.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know when he started to be so interested in Li Shu. It seemed that when he realized this, he was already drinking sweet wine.

"Why are you back now?"

Li Shu asked with a smile, her small cherry mouth was red and tender, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, her voice was sweet and indescribably comfortable, making Zhu Pingan forget the exhaustion of working overtime continuously.

"I missed you, so I came back." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"What the hell are you talking about... A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory..." Li Shu heard this, her pretty face turned red all of a sudden, she couldn't help but pouted her little mouth and cursed coquettishly. In ancient times, people were very reserved, how could it be like this? Zhu Ping'an showed off his love in public like this.

Of course, it's a different matter after the young couple closes the door.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Shu's shy look.

When Li Shu saw this, she couldn't help but pouted her little mouth and let out a sweet sound. She stretched out her little hand and slapped Zhu Pingan on the shoulder.

"Ah... it smells so strong of sweat. How long has it been since you took a shower?"

When the young couple were flirting, they got closer. Li Shu moved her little nose and smelled the strong smell of sweat coming from Zhu Pingan. She glanced at Zhu Pingan with her dark eyes. , frowning slightly.

Not disgusted, but distressed.

Li Shu knew Zhu Pingan's living habits. Zhu Pingan was very particular about personal hygiene. He washed his face and brushed his teeth in the morning and evening, bathed and washed his feet before going to bed, washed his hair frequently, and changed his clothes frequently. He was always clean and sunny. In the past, when they were both little kids in Xiahe Village, Zhu Pingan was the fairest little kid in the village.

But now Zhu Pingan's body smelled strongly of sweat, and his clothes were stained with sweat. Although Zhu Pingan smiled brightly, Li Shu could still see that he was tired. He had been working overtime in the past two days. Well, I still haven’t had a good rest.

The people in the cabinet are all bastards, and the emperor is also a bastard. How can anyone employ people like this... Li Shu cursed in her heart, and had no respect or affection for these high-ranking people.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing, who was at the critical moment of refining elixir in Xiyuan, suddenly sneezed and hit the elixir fire, causing the elixir fire to swirl all of a sudden. Emperor Jiajing had to work hurriedly for a long time before he could control the fire...

Huang Jin, who was waiting on the side, quickly started serving carefully. He was worried that Emperor Jiajing was not feeling well and was considering whether to call the imperial doctor...

"Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes. It won't be too late to have lunch after you finish your shower."

Li Shu pushed Zhu Pingan, and with a lot of coquettishness, urged Zhu Pingan to bathe and change clothes, and then ordered the maid to prepare orchid soup for Zhu Pingan and decorate the bathroom.

Just what I wanted.

Zhu Ping'an had been on duty in Wuyi Village for the past few days. There was no place to bathe. The low duty house was sultry and hot. From time to time, he would be covered in sweat. He had wanted to take a bath for a long time. Now that Li Shu urged him to take a bath, Zhu Ping'an would not refuse. After the maid mixed the bath water, she went into the bathroom to take a bath.

After Zhu Pingan entered the bathroom, Li Shu went to Ting Yuxuan's small kitchen. While instructing the girl to prepare the ingredients, she hummed a tune from the Book of Songs and fried a few dishes of Zhu Pingan's favorite dishes.

Soon, the table was filled with delicacies that were full of color, flavor, and aroma.

After Zhu Pingan took a shower and changed into clean clothes, when he came out of the bathroom, the dining table was already filled with delicacies that were both delicious and delicious, and they were all his favorites, making Zhu Pingan's mouth water.

The little bit of ash on the tip of Li Shu's nose, who was sitting opposite, naturally did not escape Zhu Pingan's eyes. Zhu Pingan, who often helped his mother Chen make fires when he was a child, naturally knew what was going on. Looking at the ash on the tip of Li Shu's nose, he seemed to recall. When I was a child, my mother secretly turned on a small stove to cook eggs for herself in the kitchen...

"Look what I'm doing, I'm not hungry." Li Shujiao snarled.

Zhu Pingan came back from his memories, looked at Li Shu and sat down with a smile, and began to enjoy the food.

Fat but not greasy, fresh and delicious, even more delicious than the royal meal in the palace...

After Zhu Pingan sat down, he never stopped using his chopsticks, and he didn't realize he had added two more bowls of rice. His cheeks were bulging and he couldn't stop.

Li Shu sat across from him dignifiedly and gracefully, eating the rice in small bites, chewing carefully, and wiping the corners of her lips with a handkerchief from time to time. When she saw Zhu Pingan, who was eating with his cheeks puffed out like a glutton, his eyes were bent like crescent moons. .

Zhu Pingan felt that this lunch was the best and most filling meal he had eaten in the past three days.

After lunch, Zhu Ping'an went to the study for a short break. After taking a rest, he planned to write down some of the things he had thought about last night and keep them for improvement.

Zhu Ping'an still knows that a good brain is worse than a bad pen. Although he has a good memory, things like inspiration disappear in a flash, and no one can guarantee that if he remembers it today, he will still remember it tomorrow.

After Zhu Ping'an went to the study, Li Shu ordered the girl to clear the table and ordered Qin'er to fetch water and wash up.

After entering the bedroom, Li Shu naturally picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the dust on the tip of her nose accurately. Then she sat in front of the dressing table and checked to see if it was wiped clean.

After Qin'er came in with the wash water, Li Shu washed up again, looked in the mirror, put on some beautiful makeup, changed into new clothes, and walked to the study with gentle steps.
