Chapter 133: Saying She's Hypocritical
The Lantern Festival is coming, and the lady who has been in a semi-comatose state since the outbreak finally wakes up. The fifth lady and the two sisters are also well. Because there is a sick master in the mansion, the mansion did not hold a grand celebration on New Year's Eve as in previous years. So on the Lantern Festival, the wife of the Duke gave the order and ordered Li Lanchun to take charge. They invited several opera troupes from outside to come to the mansion to hold a performance to liven up the event.

Although there were actors in the mansion, everyone was tired of hearing them after listening to them for too long. When they heard that a troupe from outside had been invited to the mansion, the young men and women were very happy.

Because the young masters and young ladies had to go out of the house to watch the lanterns in the evening, the party was held in the daytime. It happened that Lu Ji was taking a break. After breakfast and cleaning up, Lu Ji personally took the little girl to watch the opera.

Lu Ji was not enthusiastic about this, he just wanted to accompany Qin Xiaoning.

Qin Xiaoning felt relieved knowing his kindness and joked with him, "You were so kind to me during the time I was sick."

Lu Ji snorted, "You have no conscience. When have I ever treated you badly?"

"You never always agreed with me before." She pouted and said, "In short, you were only considerate to me when I was sick."

Lu Ji raised his hand and pinched her face. After taking care of it for a while, her little face regained its color. It felt soft and tender in his hands and felt very good.

He pinched one side, and couldn't let go, so he simply raised his other hand and pinched both sides of her cheeks with both hands.

The little girl was impatient and pushed his two big hands apart, saying disdainfully: "Your hands are so rough, don't keep touching my face, it's become rough."

Glancing at her coquettish look, Lu Ji put his big hands around her slender waist, leaned over and kissed her cherry lips, and the kiss became more and more passionate.

Feeling that it was not enough, he simply picked the person up and pressed him back onto the bed.

Big hands came to untie the dress she had just put on. The little woman struggled and protested: "These are new clothes, please be gentle."

The man ignored her and moved his hands impatiently, almost pulling the obstacles off her body.

Glancing at his anxious look, the little woman scolded: "I just gave it to you last night, and you still want more. You are so greedy again."

The man still turned a deaf ear and rushed forward, asking greedily for a while before he came to his senses and spoke.

"You were sick a while ago, but you kept pestering me. Now that you're better, you're making excuses again." The man glared at the little woman under him with his scarlet eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, why are you so hypocritical?"

She retorted: "I want you to be moderate."

How to be moderate?

Whenever he was with her, he couldn't control himself and his body wanted her uncontrollably.

It's never enough.

Lu Ji naturally would not admit that he was greedy. He leaned over and kissed her lips, and said in a rebuke, "You are so hypocritical."

As soon as he smelled her sweet scent, his body swelled up uncontrollably.

The little woman under him gasped and babbled. At that moment, the maids outside were the busiest. She covered her mouth quickly for fear of being heard by people outside the door.

It took me a while to get used to his increasing strength.

She glared at him, and followed up on his previous rebuke by saying, "Pretty girl, is it wrong to be a little more affectionate?"

What is the logic.

After hearing this, Lu Ji laughed.

"He's really becoming more and more spoiled."

His tone was full of doting, and he couldn't help but kiss her again, lingering and unwilling to let go, and the movements under him became more and more intense. The delicate little body softened like a pool of cotton under him, making him want more and more, tossing and turning for a long time, until the little person under him finally got annoyed.

"If you don't let me go, I'll miss the party. I still want to go to the theater."

The man then withdrew his attack, but did not get up in a hurry. He hugged her tenderly for a while before letting her go.

By the time the two of them stood up, dressed themselves again and came to the front yard, the party had already begun. Almost everyone in the mansion was present, including the third lady of the East Mansion, several unmarried girls and boys, who were also invited.

Lu Ji suddenly appeared holding Qin Xiaoning's hand, and everyone's eyes fell on the two of them.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but blushing and she quietly hid behind Lu Ji. Lu Ji, on the other hand, looked calm. He pulled a chair over for the girl to sit down, and then sat beside her with the big sword and golden horse.

The song sung on the stage was "Mu Guiying Takes Command". The gongs and drums were loud, the drum beats were dense, and the sound of clanging and donging touched people's hearts.

This play is the favorite of the Duke's wife.

The fifth girl also came out. She had been seriously ill and was now skinny. She sat beside the sixth girl and complained from time to time: "This cousin from the Wang family is really something. Every time we ask her to choose a play, she always picks the ones that the elders like, regardless of whether we like it or not."

It was no wonder that the Fifth Young Lady complained. Looking at the audience, only the Duke's wife seemed to be enjoying the show. The rest of the people, especially the younger ladies and gentlemen, all looked uninterested.

Finally, after the show was over, Lu Ji waved to the theater owner, who came forward with a hunched back. He was a smart man who recognized Lu Ji's identity at a glance. He smiled and said, "My Lord, would you like to perform a trick?"

Lu Ji said calmly: "What else is there to do?"

"It's all here." As he said this, the man handed over the list of plays with both hands.

Lu Ji took it, glanced at it briefly, and said, "Let them sing "Romance of the West Chamber"."

Before the boss could respond, the fourth young master beside him asked in surprise, "Second brother, you actually like this play?"

"Can't you?"

Lu Ji glanced at Shen Rui, and then instructed the boss: "After singing this, sing another song "Peony Pavilion"

These were all songs that young girls liked. When the girls from the two mansions heard this, they clapped their hands for joy. Qin Xiaoning naturally liked it too, but she always acted dignified in front of everyone in the mansion. Although she was excited in her heart, her face remained normal.

After a while, a young female actor in colorful clothes walked onto the stage and sang in a melodious voice accompanied by cheerful drum music.

This caused cheers from the girls in the stands.

Everyone watched with great interest, and the meeting did not end until after noon.

Li Lanchun was in charge of most of the affairs in the mansion. After the show was over, she greeted everyone and said, "We have been allocated a good viewing seat at the city gate tonight. Everyone should go there early. I heard that this year's Lantern Festival is organized by the Ministry of Rites, and there are many things to see."

The Shangyuan Festival in the capital is the most lively. On this day, even the royal family will come out to watch the prize. The position on the city wall is the most suitable for watching. Apart from the place specially reserved for the royal family, only the powerful and wealthy families in the capital are qualified to get a piece of land.

Everyone was naturally happy to hear this, especially the unmarried ladies, who were extremely excited.

Li Lanchun politely said to Wang Fengyi: "I have reserved a seat for my cousin and the eldest son and his wife. I heard that my cousin's wife is going back to her parents' home. I don't know if she can celebrate the Lantern Festival with us tonight."

Wang Fengyi smiled and replied, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will ask my sister-in-law to see if she can come back today."

Li Lanchun nodded in agreement, and then told the Fifth and Sixth Misses and Qin Xiaoning, "Mother-in-law and Second Aunt don't want to go out today, so you guys should go with me tonight."

The fifth and sixth girls agreed at the same time. Without waiting for Qin Xiaoning to reply, Lu Ji said, "A Ning doesn't have to follow the eldest sister-in-law. I'll take her there tonight."
