This woman is so bold!
An Yan took his hands out from between hers, and seeing the confusion on her face, he smiled and said, "Let's forget it."
Shi Rong was stunned: Why just forget it?
She boasts that her appearance is not bad, and she has achieved this level, which is something that even a normal man should not be able to control.
Shi Rong then thought of something, took a step back and asked, "Mr. An, do you think I am a frivolous and casual person?"
An Yan didn't answer.
Shi Rong bit her lower lip, and then whispered: "If I say that I don't pay people easily, will Mr. An believe it?"
An Yan smiled lightly: "Why don't I believe it?"
Shi Rong continued: "I have been in the palace since I was a child. Like all the palace maids here, I have had little contact with men in my life. Although I long for... the love between men and women, I only see some people who only joke with each other at most, and I have not yet seen it. With people……"
"Ever since I met Mr. An, I have been thinking about Mr. An in my heart. I thought that Mr. An was also interested in me, so... then..."
Shi Rong looked a little nervous when she said this. She was very concerned about An Yan's opinion of her.
Everything she said was true. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have worried about the possibility of pregnancy. In such a huge palace, even the queens didn't have male favorites, so it would be their turn to mess with her.
When it comes to extravagance, Luoyang is no better than Chang'an.
An Yan put a hand on her shoulder and said warmly: "Master Shi, you are worrying too much. It's not that I dislike Master Shi. Master Shi has a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament. If you want a man, you don't have much time left..."
"I don't want another man!" Shi Rong suddenly interrupted An Yan and looked at him longingly.
An Yan laughed and said, "I think it's too inappropriate to be in a place like this. I am now the Queen's living attendant, and I still have a long time to come. I want to have an unforgettable experience with Mr. Shi."
"Mr. An..." Shi Rong felt in a trance after hearing these words, and was slightly moved in his heart.
"There will always be another chance in the future. It would be better to find a nice place than here, right?" An Yan comforted.
Shi Rong was ashamed and happy, but still unwilling to give up. She lowered her head and whispered, "Don't you think... Mr. An... it's more exciting here?"
An Yanle said: "I didn't expect Master Shi to have such a habit. The same action he did just now, he looked quite experienced."
"I read it all from books!" Shi Rong explained quickly, even the base of his ears were red at this moment. "Women in the palace... always need something to relieve their worries..."
An Yan stopped caring about this and said, "I said, I believe Master Shi."
Shi Rong looked at An Yan's face, grabbed An Yan's hand again, and at the same time unbuttoned his silver official uniform...
"Mr. An, my heart..." Her throat rolled, and her red lips slightly opened.
"Mr. An, please have a good life... remember it."
"Then please, Mr. Shi, please remember what I just said. The essential oil was actually smuggled. Do not show it to others, otherwise I will be in trouble."
Shi Rong's breathing became more and more severe, and she nodded at the same time: "Don't worry, Mr. An, I will never let others know... Also, Mr. An, you can call me by my name in private..."
An Yan's hand exerted one final force, then pulled it out, smiling and saying, "But I prefer to call you Master Shi. I like the way you look in this official uniform."
Shi Rong's body suddenly froze, her white neck stretched upward, and then she began to tremble slightly.
"Master Shi, take me out of the palace."
"good……"

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, An Yan went directly to see Yu Jingtang.
"You came back very early." Yu Jingtang said when he saw An Yan in the study.
"Nothing happened today, I was just summoned by the Queen of Heaven."
"What did the Queen of Heaven tell you?"
An Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The Queen asked me to tell my uncle something."
Yu Jingtang paused and said, "Tell me."
"The Queen said that for the sake of past friendship, you should not make the matter irreversible." An Yan recounted the Queen's original words.
"..."
Yu Jingtang frowned and said nothing. An Yan kept paying attention to the changes in his expression, but could only see the coldness in his eyes.
An Yan tried to ask: "Is there... any rift between my uncle and Duke Shentu Ying?"
Yu Jingtang glanced at An Yan and remained quiet for a long time before saying, "The court officials all said that Shen Tu Ying and I were incompatible. The officials of the Xuantang Dynasty even spontaneously divided into two major parties, one led by Shen Tu Ying, and the other led by me. headed by."
An Yan thought: "Isn't that the truth?"
Yu Jingtang snorted coldly: "It is indeed true. The two of us are already incompatible. How can we still have any old friendship."
An Yan: "...Uncle, could it be that you want to get rid of Shentu Ying?"
Yu Jingtang glanced over coldly, and An Yan immediately fell silent.
"Shouldn't a traitor who harmed the country deserve to die?" he asked.
An Yan nodded vigorously: "Damn it!"
He wondered whether Shen Tu Ying had done something outrageous, or whether Yu Jingtang was just trying to eradicate dissidents.
But looking at this posture, the Queen is obviously siding with Shen Tuying. Is Yu Jingtang going to go against the Queen?
An Yan felt that this was a bit irrational. If what he left to Shi Rong could be useful, everything would be different.
Yu Jingtang said to An Yan, "Just do your work with peace of mind and ignore the rest."
An Yan bowed and responded: "Yes."
Yu Jingtang didn't plan to tell An Yan everything, maybe because he thought it would be useless even if he told An Yan, and it would be hard for An Yan to ask further questions.
It was still early when he left, so An Yan went back to his residence and changed his clothes, then left the Prime Minister's Mansion and drove to the bank of Yunhu Lake.
The door of Huxi Garden was closed, but the window upstairs was open.
An Yan just stepped forward and knocked on the door. The maid who opened the door knew An Yan and said respectfully, "Mr. An."
"Is your lady here?"
"upstairs."
The door of Huxi Garden was closed again. An Yan walked to the stairs and heard another sound of piano.
An Yan didn't understand music, but he could tell that the person playing the piano this time was not the same person who played the piano in the previous poetry meeting.
I quietly walked up to the second floor. The layout here has been changed. It was originally a place for entertaining guests. Now all the tables and tables have been removed, and many white transparent gauze hangings hang from the roof for decoration.
When he got closer, he saw Jin Ping, the Wen person, sitting there, playing the piano melodiously. Huan Xi was holding his chin on the side and looking at his young lady. When she looked towards the stairs unintentionally, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Mr. An?"
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
Wenren Jinping raised his head in shock, and when he met An Yan's eyes, she suddenly stood up.
Huan Xi on the side couldn't help but stood up when he saw this, looked around at the two of them, then walked wisely to the side door of the inner room and went down the stairs.
"You...why are you here?" Wenren Jinping then spoke.
An Yan quickly walked up to her: "Of course I came to see you."
As he said that, he went to hold Wen Ren Jinping's hand, but she dodged her. He only heard Wen Ren Jinping say quietly: "I miss you like crazy after not seeing you for a day."
An Yan was slightly startled, this woman was complaining that he only came now.
Then he came closer and said with a chuckle: "Is Jinping waiting for me here every day?"
Wenren Jinping's face suddenly turned red, and he turned away his eyes and said, "I don't... My usual hobbies are enjoying the lake view, reading and playing the piano here."
An Yan sighed and said, "I see, I thought you were waiting for me every day to disappoint me."
Wenren Jinping pursed his lips, with a slight dissatisfaction in his beautiful eyes, and said, "Since you have your own affairs to be busy with, why should I keep an eye on you every day?"
An Yan directly grabbed her hand and said softly, "It was my fault. I have been busy these days and I neglected you."
Wenren Jinping turned his head and looked to the side and said, "I'm not waiting for you. It's not like I'm being ignored. It's more like I asked you to come."
"..."
An Yan had a headache. Seeing the stubborn look of the person in front of him, the hand he held was soft and boneless. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly pulled Wen Ren Jinping over and hugged her tightly.
Wenren Jinping exclaimed. She couldn't withstand An Yan's strength and threw herself into her arms. Her face turned crimson in an instant. After struggling, she found that he was hugging her too close. She was shy and anxious and said, "Meng Lang !”
"You are going to be my wife anyway, so it doesn't matter if you are flirting." An Yan buried his head in her neck, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said with a smile.
Wenren Jinping's pretty face felt hot, and she felt her body getting softer and softer.
"You...let me go quickly, I'm really going to be angry!"
"Then you weren't angry just now."
"...An Yan!"
An Yan shouldn't go too far. The atmosphere this time was different from last time. Some resistance was normal, so he immediately let go of her.
Wenren Jinping immediately took a step back, straightened his clothes and appearance, and gave An Yan a beautiful look.
She said formally: "Although you are...my future husband-in-law, you should also respect me. Such rude behavior...I hope it will never happen again in the future!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look elsewhere.
Before An Yan could reply, Wenren Jinping couldn't help but wonder if his tone of voice was too harsh. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to look at An Yan and whispered: "Anyway, at least you have to get my consent." OK……"
"Then can I hold your hand?" An Yan asked.
Wenren Jinping didn't answer and glared at him with beautiful eyes.
An Yan coughed slightly, and then said, "I have indeed had something happen these past few days. The Queen of Heaven suddenly demoted me and gave me an official position."
Wenren Jinping nodded: "I heard, the sixth-grade living man, dad said this official..."
She suddenly started to speak but then stopped.
An Yan's mind moved slightly: "What did Uncle Wenren say?"
Wenren Jinping said: "Dad said that Uncle Yu would not be too willing to give you this official position."
An Yan thought thoughtfully, Wenren Yunjian and Yu Jingtang must be in the same camp, and their relationship is also unusual.
"Jinping, do you know what happened between Uncle Yu and Shen Tuying?"
"I don't know much," Wenren Jinping said.
"I heard my mother say that my father, Uncle Yu, and Lord Zhen Guo have known each other for a long time. When they followed the late emperor, they didn't have this hatred..."
An Yan couldn't help but mutter: "Then why did they turn against each other?"
Wenren Jinping also thought seriously about it. After coming over for a while, he said uncertainly: "It seems that it has something to do with the former prince."
"Former prince?" An Yan was surprised. He had never read about these things in books.
Wenren Jinping continued: "Even today's biological son, at that time, Uncle Yu and father did not seem to support the former prince, but Shentu Ying was the one who supported the prince."
An Yan asked: "What happened to the former prince? Was he deposed?"
Wenren Jinping looked around and made sure there was no one around before saying: "On the eve of his enthronement, he suddenly fell ill and died."
An Yan suddenly trembled.
Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunjian...could it be possible that they conspired to kill the former prince?
Wenren Jinping added: "However, many people think this is a good thing. The former prince was murderous and killed ministers at will. The appointment of officials depended on his mood... After the former prince died, there was not even a funeral."
An Yan was meditating there, and Wenren Jinping reminded him: "We are not allowed to talk about this kind of thing casually now."
There seems to be an irresolvable conflict between Yu Jingtang and Shen Tuying.
An Yan had a completely new understanding of his uncle, he even dared to...
After that day, wouldn’t he hate Yu Jingtang so much?
After breathing a long sigh of relief, An Yan said to Wen Ren Jinping, "Thank you for telling me this."
Wenren Jinping pursed his lips and said, "That's right... there's no need to say thank you. I'm just not allowed to say it now, but it's not a secret. Many people know it."
Seeing her like this, An Yan held her head and put it on his chest: "I miss her so much after not seeing her for a day. I don't just say it casually. I've been thinking about Jinping in my heart these past few days."
Wenren Jinping felt ashamed and happy when he heard this, but he just bit his lower lip lightly. Seeing that he couldn't free his hand, he stopped trying and said in a low voice: "How can I know what you think in your heart?"
"Then how about you come and listen?"
"You want to mess around again!"
"I didn't...then let me hug you."
"Why, you took advantage..."
However, An Yan put his arm around her slender waist and pulled her delicate body into his arms. Wen Ren Jinping's soft body trembled but did not resist, and she pressed her face against his chest.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" she asked softly.
"Today is not over yet, why are you thinking about tomorrow?"
"……you answer me first."
"I will come every day from now on."
"Then what should you do if you have something to do, and now you have a public official position."
"Then I'll come to you in advance to ask for a day off."
"Ask for leave..." Wenren Jinping covered his mouth and laughed, feeling very happy. "It's like I'm taking over your time."
"I enjoy it like a cake."
"..."
The fellow listener, Jin Ping Ni Wai, looked at her warmly for a long time and then saw her playing the piano there.
When evening approached, An Yan left Huxi Garden. Before leaving, he saw Wenren Jinping's reluctant look, hugged her and said, "See you tomorrow."
See you tomorrow……
It was a mild, softened evening, with a gentle fragrance in the air.
Wenren Jinping is already looking forward to tomorrow.
The cloud lake was sparkling, and Anyan drove into the lively streets of Luoyang again. There was a heavy flow of people and noisy sounds, and everything gradually moved away.
When the carriage stopped and the curtains were opened, the sun had already set, leaving behind a piece of gold-like light that turned the sky into a rose color. Clouds spread across the sky, and the rising moon on the other side exuded a faint brilliance. , the world is extremely quiet at this moment, like a distant and hazy dream.
