Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

Under the moonlight, the beautiful woman's charming smile is captivating.

Even Jia Lian couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

It was at this moment that Jia Lian realized that Qin Shi had shed her conservative clothes for the night and had once again returned to her cool and charming attire from back then.

Her delicate robes could not conceal her allure. Her stunning beauty, every smile and frown, was a source of entanglement in love.

Jia Lian didn't know what kind of beauties Zhao Feiyan of the Han Palace or Yang Guifei of the Tang Palace were, but at this moment, Jia Lian understood that only such peerless beauties could cause the emperor to neglect his morning court.

So Jia Lian used the railing to lean over and lightly climbed over to the outside of the pavilion, standing in front of the beauty.

The beautiful woman asked shyly, "What are you going to do?"

Jia Lian did not answer, but made a move to hug him.

Amidst the fluttering of elegant robes, Jia Lian sensed a subtle fragrance wafting through the air.

He failed to embrace the beauty's slender waist, for she took two steps back, looked around, and whispered, "Not here..."

Even though it was the dead of night and everyone was quiet, it would be bad if the night patrol saw them.

Not wanting to dampen Jia Lian's enthusiasm, she then said in her uniquely sweet voice, "Didn't Second Uncle say that the moonlight is exceptionally beautiful tonight? I haven't admired the moon in a long time, so why don't you take me up to see it again?"

Qin looked up and glanced at the spot where they had sat on the roof.

At this moment, she realized that she could only see the eaves and corners from below, and could not see the place where they had been lying. At the same time, she felt more at ease, and a thrilling thought quietly emerged in her heart, making her heart flutter and almost unable to control herself.

To conceal her thoughts, she only glanced at Jia Lian before heading towards the spot where the ladder had been placed.

Jia Lian lifted his leg to follow, but suddenly noticed something and turned around to look into the darkness behind him.

After two breaths, she turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and followed Qin's footsteps.

Behind the shade of the tree, the girl who had almost been exposed patted her chest, secretly relieved.

Jia Lian followed Qin Shi to this alley. Since there was no escalator, he was wondering where to find one so late at night when he saw Qin Shi walk straight in and reach the corner.

Here, a sturdy wooden ladder stands all alone.

Qin blushed when she caught a glimpse of Jia Lian's surprised gaze.

She had considered every aspect of the arrangements for tonight's date.

This ladder was naturally placed here by someone she had arranged long ago.

Jia Lian understood perfectly well, and instead of mocking her, he went over, carried the ladder back, secured it, and then gestured for Qin Shi to go up first, while he stayed behind to protect her.

Even though she had already experienced it once, Qin was still apprehensive when she saw the tall wall.

However, knowing that Jia Lian would protect him, he mustered up his courage and carefully climbed the ladder.

Looking back, she saw that Jia Lian had indeed followed, and her face immediately turned bright red, her legs tightening slightly.

She hadn't forgotten that, for the sake of beauty, beneath that skirt she wore only a pair of close-fitting underpants to protect her most vital areas.

The rest of her fair legs were exposed.

At this moment, Jia Lian was below her; wouldn't he be able to see her clearly just by looking up? Fortunately, after glancing at him a few times, she realized that Jia Lian didn't seem to have any intention of looking up at her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. No longer being too shy, she turned back and continued climbing.

She was unaware that, just after she turned around, Jia Lian's gaze subtly swept upwards.

Just one glance was enough to make his blood boil, almost causing him to lose control.

I wiped my philtrum with one hand, and thankfully there was no blood.

However, Jia Lian still secretly made a decision in his heart.

I absolutely have to eat it tonight!

Having made up his mind, he calmed down considerably. He ascended against the fragrant breeze, finally carrying the beauty's fragrant buttocks, and in one swift motion, he sent her to the rooftop. Jia Lian then followed suit and climbed up as well.

"Phew~"

Once she was sure she was safe, the beautiful woman, her tension and shame subsiding, let out a long sigh of relief.

After confirming Jia Lian's condition, he looked up at the sky and was immediately captivated by the stars. He exclaimed happily, "Uncle, look! The night view up here is indeed more beautiful than anywhere else!"

Jia Lian glanced at it casually. Although he also felt that the night sky tonight was even better than the previous one, his mind was not on that at the moment.

"It's even more beautiful."

Jia Lian lay on his back on the roof ridge, looking at Qin Shi and replying casually.

Qin turned around and found that Jia Lian was not looking at the night sky at all, but only at her. She was both embarrassed and happy. She glared at Jia Lian, then stood up, carefully maintained her balance, and slowly walked inside by stepping on the ridge.

Once she reached the spot that Jia Lian and Xiang Ling had chosen, she stopped, glanced back at Jia Lian one last time, then sat down sideways, propped her head up with her hands, and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, even the darkest heavens and earth seemed beautiful to her.

Hearing the sound of rubble rubbing against the tiles, Qin Shi knew it was Jia Lian approaching. She didn't turn around, suppressing her shame and nervousness, until she was sure that Jia Lian was just sitting next to her and hadn't done anything to her. Only then did she relax.

Then, she gently shifted her hips, getting a little closer to Jia Lian.

"hehe."

As if she heard Jia Lian's laughter, Qin Shi regretted whether she had been too proactive and seemed a little shameless, when she felt a tightening around her waist.

It turned out that Jia Lian had already wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Qin Shi, willingly submitting, leaned into Jia Lian's arms, greedily inhaling his scent.

Although Jia Lian had pressed her against the door and forcibly kissed and caressed her in the dark room of Ningguo Mansion last time, for some reason, only now did she feel that this was the moment when she and Jia Lian were truly together!

A perfect fusion of heart and soul.

This is a world that belongs only to the two of them.

Qin Shi only cared about her own feelings, thinking that the scene was wonderful, but she had no idea of ​​the torment in Jia Lian's heart.

She was a woman who brought ruin to the country and its people, a woman who would make any man stand at attention upon seeing her.

What's more, she dressed up even more alluringly tonight and continued to charm Jia Lian for quite some time.

With such a beautiful body in his arms, how could Jia Lian possibly resist? In just a dozen breaths, Jia Lian couldn't help but turn over, pinning the beauty beneath him, and lean down to kiss her.

Waaah...

The beauty had her wish, but there were still some words that were particularly important to her that she hadn't said, so she hesitated and struggled.

Jia Lian could only take a small bite, then looked up at her condescendingly.

Looking at Jia Lian's face and feeling his sharp will, Qin Shi finally understood what it meant to "the arrow is on the string and must be released."

Therefore, she skipped some of the pre-planned emotional build-up and said with flushed cheeks, "Uncle hasn't called me properly for so long... I... I don't like being called 'Rong's wife'..."

In his haste, Jia Lian suddenly remembered that this might be Qin Shi's first time here.

Even ordinary women value this highly, let alone a peerless beauty like Qin.

At this point, it's understandable to have a few tricks up your sleeve.

So, calming down, she smiled and said, "Oh, what do you want me to call you? My sweet baby?"

Qin rolled her eyes at Jia Lian and said softly, "I...I have a childhood name, it's Keqing. 'Ke' means 'beautiful,' and 'qing' means 'a beautiful woman.' That's what my father called me when I was little, and Uncle...you can call me that too..."

"Qing, my dear~"

Jia Lian smiled, not at all surprised.

In this era, women don't even have the right to have their own independent names.

Take Baochai and Daiyu, the three sisters of the Spring Festival, for example. Strictly speaking, their names can only be called "pet names".

For family and elders only.

After marriage, a woman can only take her husband's surname.

For example, the Wang family of the Jia family.

As for nicknames, they are basically no longer valid.

In this respect, Wang Xifeng was an exception. Her nickname was actually brought to her husband's family and became known to everyone.

It has to be said that this is also a skill of Wang Xifeng.

Before her marriage, Qin Keqing not only had her own name, but also a beautiful courtesy name – Jianmei.

Qin Keqing, Qin Jianmei, both sound quite nice.

Qin Keqing had no idea that Jia Lian already knew her background. When she saw Jia Lian laughing, she thought he was mocking her childhood name. Lying under Jia Lian, she pretended to punch Jia Lian's chest a few times until Jia Lian caught her with one hand.

After a moment of silence, realizing that Jia Lian hadn't made any advances towards her but was instead quietly waiting for her to speak, Qin Keqing felt an even sweeter warmth in her heart. Finally, she decided to reveal her deepest secret:

"Second Uncle, please be gentle later..."

Qin Keqing, who originally thought she was very bold, couldn't help but bury her head in her chest when she got to this point.

Unfortunately, this position was difficult to achieve, so he could only turn his head away and continue, "It's...it's my first time..."

The meaning of hearing it from Lady You is completely different from hearing it from Qin Keqing herself.

Therefore, even though he was prepared, Jia Lian was still shocked when he saw Qin Keqing shyly and quietly saying that this was her first time doing such a thing.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Lian could tell from Qin Shi's expression that this was something Qin Shi was very concerned about and was solemnly announcing to him.

Having already been with several stunning beauties, he naturally knew how to perform best and win their hearts at this moment.

He was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, reached out and cupped her face in his hands, asking incredulously, "Keqing, is what you're saying true?"

The unexpected surprise in Jia Lian's eyes made Qin Keqing, who had been blushing nervously after speaking, instantly happy.

Just as I imagined...

Overwhelmed by joy, Qin Keqing met Jia Lian's gaze and nodded with a smile.

She raised her arms and wrapped them around Jia Lian's neck, pulling him down close to her. Then she whispered in his ear, "Although Rong'er and I have been married for two years, I haven't let him touch me in these two years..."

Not at all!

Therefore, what the uncle received was Keqing's clean and innocent body.

"Does Uncle like what people say?"

The beautiful woman whispered sweet nothings, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

Jia Lian was overwhelmed with emotion. How could he not be happy at this moment?

Without saying much, he lowered his head, asked for a kiss, and used the best way to tell the beauty how he felt.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Although the roof was fairly spacious and sturdy, it was still made of tiles. Qin was only wearing light, fine clothes, though she didn't mind that her carefully tailored garments were soiled or torn.

However, her delicate body was too tender, and even a slight touch made her cry out in pain.

Jia Lian snapped out of his daze and also noticed the problem.

Although I feel sorry for the beauty, I know that this place is the place she carefully chose to dedicate herself to.

Therefore, stopping at this point and saying "next time" or "change the location" would be truly foolish.

So Jia Lian took off his relatively sturdier robe and spread it out to the side, then placed the beauty on it and whispered soothingly, "Bear with it, I'll be gentle."

"Hmm~"

The beauty gave a soft "hmm" and hugged Jia Lian's strong waist tightly. Having prepared meticulously for two days, she naturally wouldn't be intimidated by this small difficulty!

She even secretly told herself that no matter how much it hurt, she must not cry out again, lest she spoil her second uncle's mood...

……

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a rare sight in the world, finally got married. Even the sun, moon, and stars were ashamed to look on, and dark clouds came to cover their eyes.

But in the end, they couldn't resist their curiosity and would often let the moonlight shine through the clouds onto the breathtaking rooftops.

Several feet away, pressed against the corner of the wall, Qingwen sat there looking depressed, kicking the ladder in front of her with her toes, but ultimately not daring to use force, for fear of disturbing the lovers on it.

She is very smart.

Second Master and Little Rong's eldest mistress have been up there for so long and haven't come down yet; they must be up to no good!

Who would believe someone saying they'd go up to admire the moon?

If it's for moon-gazing, why didn't Second Master take me? And that Little Rong's eldest mistress, no wonder everyone says she's a vixen. I used to think she was being unfairly accused.

Is it wrong to be born beautiful?

However, at this moment, when the other party seduced the man she loved, Qingwen's feelings towards her plummeted.

I even considered climbing the ladder to cause trouble.

However, after thinking it over and over, I still didn't dare.

Because it is not necessary.

Even if they sabotage things this time, there's no guarantee they won't get together again next time.

Moreover, this would make the Second Master dislike her, and he probably wouldn't want to take her out anymore. In that case, not only would she lose the Second Master's favor, but she wouldn't even be able to uncover his secrets like she did tonight. It would be a huge loss!

Fortunately, Xiao Rong's status was different from that of the Second Master. So no matter how beautiful she was, she could never be on the big stage.

In reality, they posed no threat to those who were rightfully inside the house.

With that thought in mind, she not only decided not to cause any more trouble, but even wandered around to check if there were any other suspicious people around for Jia Lian.

Second Master was everything to her; he was the most wise and noble person in her heart.

Therefore, she should keep Second Master's secret to herself and not let any unrelated people know it, lest it cause trouble for Second Master.

After looking around several times, he finally realized that no one would be so bored as to come over in the middle of the night, so he sat down and waited for Jia Lian to come down.

But too much time had passed, and Qingwen, who had been cursing in her heart, finally couldn't resist the drowsiness and leaned against the wall, falling into a deep sleep.

---Aside---

The second woman listed in the official register, surnamed Qin, became Qin Keqing.
