Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 118 Before the meeting
The next day.

early morning.

"Girl, get up quickly!"

"Madam is about to start calling for people!"

In Minglan's room, Danju looked at her young mistress with a helpless expression, her words filled with an indescribable melancholy.

"My daughter is good in every way, except for one thing: she loves to stay in bed. Once she gets into bed, it's like she's sealed in, and she just can't get up!"

Danju stared at the unidentified object on the bed with a headache, feeling a throbbing pain in her head!
At this moment, Minglan was indeed lying lazily on the bed, her small hands tightly gripping the quilt in her sleep, wrapping herself in it, making her look like a chubby caterpillar, clumsy yet adorable as she lay on the bed.

"Oh my, Danju~"

"Please let me sleep a little longer~"

"I'm so sleepy~"

Minglan is still asleep, half-asleep, and doesn't remember anything.

"girl!"

Danju disregarded the hierarchy between mistress and servant, quickly stepped forward, lifted Minglan's bedsheets, and reminded her, "Miss, have you forgotten?"

"Today is the polo match hosted by the Earl of Yongchang's wife; we can't afford to be late!"

"Ok?"

"ah!!"

Minglan was initially grumpy upon waking, but then she was startled and instantly woke up from her daze.

"Yes!"

"I almost forgot!"

Startled awake, Minglan opened her eyes abruptly, sat up abruptly from the bed, and exclaimed urgently, "Quick!"

"Danju, come help me quickly!"

"I've completely forgotten what day it is today?"

Minglan, dressed in a plain white undergarment, hurriedly got off the bed to wash and put on makeup.

"I've already made plans to meet Sister Yanran at the polo club. If I'm late, it'll be terrible!"

While doing it herself, Minglan kept muttering to herself about things.

"Hurry up, Danju!"

Seeing Danju still standing to the side out of the corner of her eye, Minglan immediately urged anxiously, "Come and help me! I'm running out of time!"

"Yes, girl!"

Seeing Minglan's slightly confused look, Danju found it somewhat amusing. She deliberately withheld certain information to make Minglan anxious, hoping to help her break her habit of sleeping in.

"Young lady, don't worry, I'll help you right now!"

After Danju agreed, she began to carefully help Minglan with her hair and makeup.

……

After a long while, Minglan finally finished dressing up. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast before rushing out the door.

As she ran, she called out, "Danju, quickly call Xiaotao over, let's go out together as a trio!"

Because Xiao Tao and her friends also wanted to experience the excitement of the polo match, the three of them had already made plans some time ago to go to Madam Wu's place to watch the fun.

"boom!"

As soon as Minglan opened the door to her room, she saw Xiaotao walking in, yawning.

"Huh? Girl?"

Xiao Tao didn't notice the urgency on Minglan's face, but asked with some curiosity, "Miss, why are you up so early?"

Then it dawned on him: "Could it be because of Madam Wu's polo club?"

"But!"

Before Danju could stop her, Xiaotao blurted out, "But even if you're going to a polo match, you don't need to go this early, do you?"

"Didn't Madam say she wouldn't set off until 9 AM?"

"It's only Chen Shi (7-9 AM) now, there's still more than half an hour to go!"

"what?"

Minglan was greatly surprised: "Is it Chen Shi (7-9 AM) now?"

She quickly took a step out the door and looked up at the sky.

The weather was perfect today, and the sun was beginning to peek out, though the warm, shy sun had only risen halfway up, with the other half still hidden beneath the earth.

At this moment, Minglan finally understood. "Danju, you..."

"Young lady, you can't blame me for this!"

Seeing that her young lady had understood, Danju was not flustered at all. Instead, she smiled and "deflected" the question, saying, "You said it yourself last night that you wanted me to wake you up early today so as not to delay the time and miss your appointment with Miss Yanran."

"you!"

Minglan was furious!
"You little devil, Danju, you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Minglan seemed somewhat "furious and embarrassed"!
Even if I say this to you, you can't just stand by and watch me get anxious!

"If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought we were going to be late!"

"no!"

"This time I'm going to teach you a lesson you little brat!"

Minglan grew angrier as she spoke, and immediately decided to "get her revenge": "Xiaotao, quickly help me hold Danju down, I'm going to teach her a lesson today!"

"Don't, don't!"

"girl!"

Danju panicked and quickly turned to run away.

Of course, Danju knew that Minglan was just joking, and even knew how she was going to punish herself. Although the punishment was just a joke, it was not exactly painless.

After all, Minglan's "family rules" can be summed up in one word—itch!

"Xiao Tao, quickly help me hold her down!"

Seeing that Danju was about to escape, Minglan quickly directed Xiaotao to surround and block her.

"Oh, yes, young lady!"

"No, Xiaotao, don't come..."

Danju laughed as she fled, while on the other hand, she tried to turn Xiaotao against her.

However, Xiao Tao is still very loyal. Although she and Dan Ju are very close, her friendship with Ming Lan is even deeper. Besides, this is just a game among a few people, nothing serious.

Therefore, Xiao Tao immediately responded to Minglan's instructions and, relying on her "sturdy and strong" body, pinned Danju down.

"Girl, I've caught Sister Danju!"

Xiao Tao shouted, as if to take credit.

"it is good!"

Minglan quickened her pace and went up to Danju, who was writhing in pain, and started scratching her until she felt ticklish.

"what……"

"Ha ha……"

"Miss...please...spare me, I'll never do it again!"

Danju was soon laughing so hard she couldn't speak under Minglan's "torture"!

……

Compared to the bustling scene here, the Duke of Qi's mansion on the other side was much quieter.

"No, what do you think of this long robe I'm wearing?"

Although the clothes in his trunk were all top-notch in both quality and style, Qi Heng was still somewhat dissatisfied, trying to pick out the best and most suitable outfit for himself, so as to prepare for today's events.

That's right, Qi Heng is going to lay his cards on the table this time!

He wanted to take advantage of Sheng Changquan's absence to personally go to Minglan and tell her his feelings, expressing his willingness to give everything for her!
As long as Minglan agrees, he will risk his life to make his parents agree to the marriage!

Qi Heng was exceptionally confident about this!

"If Mother really disagrees, then I will threaten to kill myself!"

Qi Heng's eyes were filled with determination, as if his most cherished dream was about to appear before him.

"I believe that Mother will eventually agree!"

Although it was somewhat unfilial, Qi Heng truly had no other choice but to resort to this tactic.

"If Mother approves of my willful act, I will work even harder in the future to pass the imperial examination and bring glory to the Duke of Qi's family!"

"At that time, I will definitely do my best to be filial to our mother, together with my sixth sister!"

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously crept onto Qi Heng's lips.
