Dong Lingjiu pursed his lips. The word "Xue Chen" was like something dirty. Once it entered his ears, Dong Lingjiu really wanted to clean his ears.
"Tan'er, spring is too short, can you and I not mention other men's names when we are together in private?"
Xia Tan'er turned her head and saw Dong Lingjiu's stern face, with a bit of unhappiness in her eyes.
Also, the two of them haven't seen each other for several days, so it's understandable that Dong Lingjiu will be unhappy.
So Xia Tan'er coaxed Dong Lingjiu for the first time today.
"Uncle Nine Emperors~"
The voice was so loud that it cheered people up. Xia Tan'er stood up and swung Dong Lingjiu's clothes around, all the little dissatisfaction in Dong Lingjiu's heart was gone.
"You know how to use this trick to trick me."
"The tricks are not old or new, they just work."
A doting smile appeared on the corner of Dong Lingjiu's mouth. He raised his hand and tickled the bridge of Xia Tan'er's nose affectionately.
Then, taking advantage of Xia Tan'er's unpreparedness, she picked him up and walked to the bed.
"It's late at night. Let's rest with my husband."
"Disgusting~"
The moonlight outside the window falls on the huanghuali-carved window pavilion, and the spring scenery between the small world and the earth is beautiful.
Soon, it was the day before the Kyushu event.
On this day, everyone who participated in the competition rushed to the palace, but Xia Tan'er entered the palace quietly after Nanlingmu and others left.
On the carriage, looking at Xia Tan'er's sneaky appearance, Feng Muchan crossed his arms and looked puzzled.
"Tan'er, it's not like you're here to compete, but rather like you're here to steal something. Other princes and nobles' battle arrays are as big as they are, but you'd better be as low-key as possible."
"This uninformed person really thinks that the people sent by the Lu family are so shabby. Aren't you embarrassing the Lu family?"
Xia Tan'er directly borrowed the name of the Lu family when she signed up, so the fact that someone from the Lu family participated in the competition was widely spread among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Everyone is extremely curious about who among the Lu family has such ability, so that the Lu family can open a direct path for him to pass the competition.
You know, those who can participate in the competition are the best ones selected from among the people in their own country.
So you can imagine how much attention Xia Tan'er can get.
Listening to Feng Muchi's complaints, Xia Tan'er didn't take it seriously.
"There is a saying that shoots the first bird with a gun, and there is also a saying that pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. Don't be flamboyant in anything you do. The more incompetent you are, the more your opponents will look down on you, and they will not attack in groups. Only then can you make a good plan by calculating it in your heart and slowly mapping it out."
"Tan'er, I can understand what you are saying, but how do you plan to introduce your identity to others during the dinner?"
"Of course it's Doctor Tan."
"Doctor Tan?"
"Yes, Doctor Tan cured Mrs. Lu. He didn't ask for any other reward. He only asked for an opportunity to participate in the Kyushu Grand Competition. This reason is enough for the Lu family to use the back door for me, and it is enough to stop their mouths."
"He's just a doctor. He only has excellent medical skills, but he may not be able to do it when it comes to the competition. They might think of me like this."
Feng Muchi looked at Xia Tan'er's explanation of his identity. He suddenly felt that based on Xia Tan'er's calculations, he was really sold and he might still be counting the money for her.
Feng Muchi felt again that it was a good thing that he had followed Xia Tan'er in the first place. Whoever was Xia Tan'er's enemy would be unlucky.
"Baby, I have a high fever and am positive again. I recommend an antipyretic medicine, Etocoxib, which is super easy to use. I hope you are healthy and safe."
