Nirvana of the Phoenix with a well-thought-out
plan
in mind: It is Prince Mu’s Mansion, not Li Shiyu, who climbs the path
of glory and favor after confusing the country and demons.
But Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words, eyebrows and eyes slightly raised, as if in meditation, and then she looked at Li Shiyu, not for a moment.
Li Shiyu is not impatient, patiently waiting for Mu Lan’s answer.
The choice is too tempting.
At least in anyone’s eyes, Li Shiyu’s olive branch is enough to make Mu Lan move, rather than stay in this crisis-ridden Mu Wangfu, it is better to find a more stable backer.
But Mulan didn’t think so.
Who knows that entering Yuwangfu is not another abyss?
If Li Shiyu is still defeated in this life, then Mu Lan is doomed to be buried with him, but it is different from the way he died in the previous life. Why should
she take such a risk with herself. For
a long time, Mu Lan calmly opened his mouth, looked at Li Shiyu and did not avoid his eyes, but said clearly word by word: “Four princes, I am just a trouble, my existence is of no use to four princes.” The implication is
also a refusal.
Li Shiyu was a little surprised, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes a little more deep, but Mu Lan always did not change color.
Finally, Li Shiyu laughed out loud.
Mu Lan is always expressionless.
“Mulan, the king is becoming more and more interested in you.” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and opened his mouth lightly.
“Curiosity can kill a cat, four princes.” Mu Lanpi smiled back without a smile. The atmosphere between the
two seems calm, but it seems turbulent, such a situation, so that Mu Lan can not help but burst of irritability.
When Mu Lan did not want to install, suddenly, Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan.
Mulan got his freedom. Only then did
she gradually get rid of the hair-trigger sense of irritability.
Li Shiyu stood up, the dark purple brocade called this person more slender tall and straight, Mu Lan calmed down, do not want to be bewitched by this person.
“Four princes, walk slowly and don’t see me off.” Mulan gave the order to leave for the third time.
This time Li Shiyu didn’t stay much, and his voice was a little cold: “Mu Zhantian won’t let you go so easily.”. Your existence is a threat to the side of the imperial concubine. Life in Mu Wang Fu will not be easy. Although the imperial concubines didn’t get all the real power, the Mu Mansion was still under her control.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
“It’s not much better in the Mu Mansion than in the Yu Mansion.” Li Shiyu is reminding Mu Lan, “Mu Zhantian is a man who will probably get rid of you as soon as possible. Be more careful yourself.”
“I don’t need the four princes to worry about that.” Mu Lan answered coldly.
Li Shi-yu looks at Mu Lan with a somewhat secretive expression on his face: “The implication is that you have a well-thought-out plan.”
Mu Lan smiled perfunctorily and did not mean to answer.
Li Shiyu, who was about to leave, suddenly turned back and pinched Mu Lan’s mandible. Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and said, “Four princes, you..”
It happened that Li Shiyu kept quiet and practiced martial arts all the year round, gently rubbing Mu Lan’s delicate skin with thick cocoons. The place of
skin, faint still can see scar.
Mu Lan subconsciously hid for a moment.
Such a dodge, but let Li Shiyu sink, holding the hand of the mandible tightened, the next moment has bent over, directly kissed the lips of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was stunned. Do not
want to, Mu Lan resisted, but even if resistance, Mu Lan still remember camouflage, looks like an innocent girl bullied by a flower thief.
The cat pupil is full of mist, delicate and pitiful, as if the next moment tears will fall down like this, that hand is not polite to block directly on Li Shiyu’s wound.
Li Shiyu’s movement is faster, the next second already firmly clasped Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan exclaimed, the final defeat in the strength of Li Shiyu, was close to the man to seize his kiss, Mu Lan was ashamed and annoyed, but there is no way to take the people in front of him.
But Li Shiyu suddenly let go of Mu Lan, but his hand was still holding on to Mu Lan: “You really don’t know martial arts.”
Mu Lan was startled. Sure enough,
the man was testing. On the surface, however,
she was extremely aggrieved: “If the four princes don’t leave, I will call someone.”. If I call someone, the four princes know what will happen.
Li Shiyu smiled faintly. “Why don’t you show it to the king?”
Mu Lan really wants to shout. There are only two ways to end up
shouting. One is that you have a tryst with the king in the middle of the night, and you don’t keep the way of women. Second, after the incident, you will follow the king into the mansion. As long as the king says a word, you will still be the king’s princess. If the king is weak and unwilling, you will only be the king’s concubine. Li Shiyu’s words are neither salty nor light.
Mu Lan: “… …”
This is the first time after rebirth, Mu Lan was cornered, as if every inch in the hands of this person.
And she doesn’t have any room for backhand.
Li Shiyu, you remember.
Mu Lan sneers in the heart, the surface actually appears to surrender and the grievance many.
Li Shiyu seemed to have amused Mu Lan enough and looked at the sky outside. Then he got up and said, “Mu Lan, live well for this king.”. You are the one whom the king has taken a fancy to. Will the king stop?
Voice fell, Li Shiyu has jumped up, quickly disappeared from the front of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was so angry that he almost blurted out a curse.
But soon, Mulan calmed down.
After completely calming down, Mu Lan went outside the house and went directly to the direction of the lotus fragrance.
When Hexiang saw Mulan coming out, she really breathed a sigh of relief. “Miss, I’m afraid something has happened to you inside.”
Or, he Xiang looked back. The figure of Li Shiyu has completely disappeared from the
house.
Mu Lan knew what she was worried about. She didn’t explain much about what had happened between herself and Li Shiyu. She quickly changed the subject: “Have you done what I told you?”
“Done.” He Xiang nodded, “Chen’s housekeeper will bring the things in a moment.”. That’s the snake, and it makes people squirm.
It’s really scary.
Hexiang steeled herself and closed her eyes to dispose of the snake and throw it into the jar of medicinal liquor.
Then, the lotus fragrance pointed to the corner of his room, the snake wine is still there, even if it looks like this, it makes people feel creepy.
“Thanks for your hard work.” Mu Lan nodded and said appreciatively.
He Xiang patted his chest and then asked in a low voice and curiosity, “Miss, what do you want with this horrible thing?”
“You will know tomorrow.” But Mu Lan smiled and said nothing. “Of course it’s useful.”
He Xiang looked at Mu Lan with an inexplicable face. Do you
want to get out of here? Mu Lan asked the lotus fragrance lightly. Without thinking
, Hexiang nodded, “Of course.”. Not to mention the status of a young lady, even we slaves are thinking that one day we can leave the West Tower and go to the East Tower to serve our masters. As
she said this, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. She immediately covered her mouth and knelt down. “Miss, that’s not what the maidservant meant.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Mu Lan flicked Hexiang’s forehead. “I didn’t think much about it.”. It’s your mouth that should be restrained. Misfortune comes from the mouth. When you speak, think about it first, and don’t jump out in a hurry. Do you understand?
“The maidservant knows.” He Xiang lowered his head and answered respectfully.
Looking at Mu Lan’s beautiful face with a smile, Hexiang really felt that she had followed a good master. These masters in
Prince Mu’s mansion are somewhat uncertain.
Those in the east building to serve the superior slaves, is also frightened, carelessly may be the head of the fall, and they these slaves in the west building, but not as comfortable as they come.
Hexiang has always been contented.
Today this matter, if in the hands of other people, I’m afraid the life of the lotus incense will not be saved.
Neither dead nor disabled.
But Mu Lan looked at the appearance of the lotus fragrance being taught, laughing out loud in a low voice, and more and more liked the girl who had no scheming in front of her.
He Xiang soon forgot what had happened before, and couldn’t help asking, “What does this snake wine have to do with us leaving here?”
“Go back to bed and we’ll find out tomorrow.” Mu Lan sold a pass.
He Xiang nodded, but did not ask much, and then cleverly returned to his room, Mu Lan then turned and walked toward the house.
The room had become quiet, but when the man left, he still seemed to leave a faint musky smell.
Very unique.
As long as the smell is close, the identity of the person can be known almost immediately.
Just like the moment of being attacked by a king cobra, Mu Lan already knew when the man appeared.
She was quiet, thinking about what she had said to Li Shiyu before, and finally Mu Lan didn’t say much, and then she took off her clothes, leaned on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
Only in the dream, Mu Lan also kept the heart of vigilance at any time.
……
The next day. When the
genius was bright, Mu Lan had already woken up.
Hexiang fetched water to wash Mulan’s face, Mulan asked Hexiang to prepare a slightly colorful skirt, which was different from yesterday’s simple but elegant, and today’s Mulan looked bright and moving.
The aqua pink skirt with Phnom Penh makes Mu Lan walk as if with sparkling waves.
Every gesture makes people unable to move their eyes.
He Xiang could not help saying, “Miss, you are really beautiful.”
Mu Lan smiled, and she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, knowing that the face was naturally beautiful. Otherwise, after the last prince saw himself, he would not want to take it as his own, even regardless of the idea of Mu Zhihua.
But Mu Lan is too boring, compared with Mu Zhi’s exquisite heart, it naturally seems inferior, after the interest, it has been left out in the cold.
Had it not been for his own powers, I’m afraid Li Shiyuan would have died before he ascended the throne.
These past, easily let Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes stained with blood, but also in an instant, such blood has all faded, Mu Lan became the harmless daughter of Mu Wang Fu.
He Xiang also did not say much, quickly dressed up for Mu Lan.
This time Mu Lan, hair accessories also have more jewelry, not exaggerated, but just the right embellishment, the more beautiful Mu Lan shines.
He Xiang combed her hair, as a woman, she looked at Mu Lan to see some entranced.
Mu Lan calmly stood up and said, “OK, now let’s go and pay our respects to our grandmother.”
“Yes.” He Xiang answered.
Mu Lan nodded. “Go and bring the snake wine you made yesterday.”
He Xiang said, and her face changed. “Miss, do you want to give this to the old lady?”? The old lady will be annoyed when she sees it. The old lady won’t like these things.
But Mulan smiled and said, “You’ll know when you get there.”
He Xiang seemed to understand and followed Mu Lan to the outside of the West Building.
Mulan walked in front, and without even thinking about it, he could find his way precisely. He Xiang looked a little surprised: “Miss, you just came back, but there are many paths in the palace, but you can remember them so clearly. It’s amazing.”
How can you not remember. She has been walking
this way for several years.
Every step was taken in blood.
But Mu Lan did not explain these words, but said with a smile, “Maybe I have a better memory.”
He Xiang nodded and quietly followed Mu Lan.
Soon, they arrived at the ancestral temple.
Wang Xueshuang is old and doesn’t like to sleep. She wakes up at dawn every day. When she wakes up, Wang Xueshuang will go to the ancestral temple to chant sutras and worship Buddha, and then she will eat. During the
meal, the imperial concubine and two concubines would come to accompany Wang Xueshuang for breakfast and pay their respects.
This is also the habit of Mu Wangfu.
So when Mammy Li saw Mu Lan, who had arrived so early, she was a little surprised, but she did not change her face and said, “Why did you come so early, Miss?”? The old lady is chanting. I don’t like to be disturbed.
“Hello, Mammy Li.” Mu Lan and Li Mammy said hello,
Li Mammy is the closest person around Wang Xueshuang, naturally in the palace has some status, just like Chen housekeeper, everyone saw Li Mammy always with some respect.
Mu Lan is no exception.
Li Mammy is satisfied with Mu Lan’s knowledge and reason, such Mu Lan and their own think of Mu Lan too much. Like Wang Xueshuang,
she thought she would see a Mu Lan who had no rules.
Such a discovery is somewhat unexpected.
Also because Wang Hsueh-shuang had a good impression of Mu Lan, Mammy Li did not embarrass Mu Lan: “Miss, wait here for a moment, wait for the slave to go in and ask the old lady.”
“Don’t bother, Mammy Li.” Mu Lan said calmly, “Grandmother’s chanting shouldn’t be disturbed. I’ll just wait here.”. While listening to my grandmother recite sutras, I can learn a little to calm myself down.
What Mu Lan said is clear and logical. Mam
my Li looked more and more fond of it and nodded repeatedly.
At Mu Lan’s age, there are very few people who can worship Buddha quietly.
Li Mammy also did not say anything, and Mu Lan nodded, and walked into the ancestral temple, and Mu Lan stood quietly in the ancestral temple, his face without a trace of impatience.
Occasionally, Mu Lan’s eyes fell on the ancestral temple, but soon came back.
She knew that she did not need to wait too long to see Wang Xueshuang smoothly. And the person of side imperial concubine, also can appear very quickly.
After all, in the last life, Mu Lan once interrupted Wang Xueshuang’s chanting in a hurry, which made Wang Xueshuang even more angry. Only
then did Mu Lan know that Wang Xueshuang was interrupted when she did not like to chant sutras, and that her appearance here was also the coax of Mu Zhihua’s soft words.
And she was punished by Wang Xueshuang again and again, Mu Zhihua also appeared in the woodshed again and again to appease, pitiful, and even blamed himself for such a crime.
Mu Lan where to think, all this is the arrangement of Mu Zhihua, naturally feel that Mu Zhihua is the best person, dedicated to their own, never give birth to any doubt, will step by step into the trap of Mu Zhihua, there is no room to turn over.
Now, Wang Xueshuang is testing himself.
As Mammy Li said, there are not many people who sincerely worship Buddha.
Really accompany Wang Xueshuang, or pretend to be clever, in order to win Wang Xueshuang’s favor.
So Mu Lan kept his countenance.
Sure enough, Mu Lan had only been standing for less than half an hour when Mammy Li came out and said, “Miss, the old lady will let you in.”
“Thank you very much, Mammy Li.” Mu Lan smiled gently, completely without any shelf.
Then, when Mu Lan followed up with Mammy Li, she naturally put a small purse she had prepared into Mammy Li’s hand: “Mammy, a little token of my appreciation, please accept it.” Mam
my Li quieted down and looked at Mu Lan.
But Mu Lan calmly smiled, did not say anything, after nodding his head, he crossed Mammy Li and walked toward the ancestral temple. Mam
my Li took it quietly. Of course, Mammy Li recognized
the small purse, which was the ornament that the old lady had asked the housekeeper Chen to give to Mu Lan. Mu Lan had just arrived, and naturally it was impossible for him to be more than other people in Mu’s palace, but what Mu Lan sold was the most precious pearl in those ornaments. I can
see the sincerity of Mu Lan.
Li Mammy with Wang Xueshuang side for decades, has long been the essence of people, where can not understand the meaning of Mu Lan.
This Mu Fu up and down, Mu Lan can manage in the shortest possible time, what does this mean, how can Mammy Li not see. I’m afraid
Prince Mu’s mansion is going to be earth-shaking.
But Mammy Li did not say it, quietly following Mu Lan’s side.
……
Wang Xueshuang chanted sutras and worshipped Buddha in the ancestral temple, but did not mean to speak to Mu Lan. Mu Lan just stood quietly waiting, and did not interrupt Wang Xueshuang.
It was not until Wang Hsueh-shuang had finished reading a scripture that he put down the wooden fish and looked at Mu Lan. “Lan, why did you come to me so early?”
“When I was at the Ku Mansion, my adoptive mother also had the habit of chanting sutras, so I developed the habit of chanting sutras with my adoptive mother. When I thought that my grandmother was also chanting sutras and praying for the Mu family, naturally I wanted to accompany my grandmother and do some filial piety.” Mu Lan said calmly and quietly answered Wang Xueshuang’s words. When
Wang Hsueh-shuang heard what Mu Lan had said, she couldn’t help but nod: “Well, it’s really good that you have this heart.”
She looked at Mulan again.
Today’s Mulan compared with yesterday, and added a bit of gorgeous, but not publicity, introverted and likable, bathed in the morning, the whole person appears to be brilliant.
An ordinary Gu Fu, how can you train such a person.
Wang Xueshuang is impressed.
Mu Lan listened to Wang Hsueh-shuang’s words with a humble look on her face: “Mu Lan still has a lot to learn. If she does something wrong carelessly, please forgive her grandmother.”
Your child is not only like your mother and concubine, but also has the same bearing as your mother and concubine. When your father comes back and sees you, he will surely rejoice. Wang Xueshuang couldn’t help nodding.
Think of the dead princess, Wang Xueshuang can not help but also some sentimental.
Mu Lan stood quietly and did not speak.
When Wang Xueshuang stood up, Mu Lan naturally came forward to hold Wang Xueshuang, such a small action, and let Wang Xueshuang satisfied a few minutes.
The two men walked out of the ancestral temple.
He Xiang was still standing outside the ancestral temple, holding the bottle of medicinal liquor in his hand, which was obviously very heavy, but he Xiang was stunned and did not say a word. When
Mu Lan came out, he exchanged a look with He Xiang.
But Mu Lan did not take the initiative to speak.
Also almost in Wang Xueshuang out of the ancestral temple, Mu Lan saw the side of the imperial concubine with Mu Zhihua from not far away, obviously two people see Mu Lan, the face also followed a slight change.
They did not expect that Mulan could get there first.
Obviously, Wang Xueshuang’s expression is very satisfied with Mu Lan, which has a way out with Chen Zhirong’s idea.
But when Mu Zhihua saw Mu Lan, her face changed. She thought she would get the news of Mu Lan’s accident this morning, but Mu Zhihua never waited.
But Mu Zhihua did not dare to inquire.
In her opinion, even if Mu Lan did not die in the hands of the king cobra, he would also die under the sword of Mu Zhantian, but now, Mu Lan appeared safe and sound in front of him. How could
Mu Zhihua feel at ease? The premonition of uneasiness enveloped her whole body in an instant, and even her figure could not help trembling.
But this matter, Mu Zhihua did not dare to disclose, even Chen Zhirong she did not say.
She subconsciously looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan’s expression as if nothing had happened, but again calm, Mu Zhihua did not take the initiative to open his mouth.
But Mu Lan and Chen Chih-jung paid their respects: “Mu Lan has seen the imperial concubine.” Only then did
Chen Chih-jung look at Mu Lan. She just nodded, looking gentle but with a sharp edge in her eyes. She glanced at him, with a hint of warning in her eyes: “Are you Mu Lan?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan answered, “I came back in a hurry yesterday, and I heard that the empress had entered the palace, so I didn’t go to pay my respects, and I asked the empress to forgive me.”
This is reasonable, directly blocked Chen Zhirong to give Mu Lan Xiama Wei’s words, to the mouth of the words swallowed down.
Good and bad, wrong and right, all let Mu Lan say, Chen Zhirong did not vent his anger, abruptly ate a dark loss. After all,
Chen Chih-jung was a person who had come through a storm. Such a scene would not have made Chen Chih-jung so angry that her face suddenly changed. She was calm: “It doesn’t matter.”. It’s all right if you have this heart.
“Thank the Empress for her kindness.” Mu Lan Fu Fu body, and then she looked at Mu Zhihua, but only nodded.
Just look at Mu Zhihua’s eyes, more than a point of deep meaning.
Mu Zhihua couldn’t help shaking.
Chen Chih-jung twisted her eyebrows and looked at Mu Chih-hua. Only then did Mu Chih-hua come to her senses. She was blessed. After Chen Chih-jung, she and Wang Hsueh-shuang paid their respects. “Hello, grandmother.”
“Okay, okay.” Wang Xueshuang still loves Mu Zhihua very much, and he is naturally in a good mood when he sees Mu Zhihua.
She took Mu Chih-hua’s hand and said, “My little Chih-hua is getting better and better. The threshold of Mu’s palace has been broken by matchmakers.”
“Grandmother” Mu Chih-hua answered angrily.
Chen Chih-jung said helplessly, “Mother, I don’t know how you can be so clever and angry with me every day.”
Wang Xueshuang laughed out loud.
Three people appear to be happy, as if completely forgotten the existence of Mu Lan. Mu Lan is not anxious not annoyed, quietly followed in the end, and did not rush to seize everyone’s attention.
On the contrary, some of the lotus fragrance can not bear to see, some unwilling to look at Mu Lan, obviously before the attention of Wang Xueshuang, is Mu Lan, but now instantly changed.
“Miss,” Hexiang called in a low voice, complaining for Mu Lan. “You’d better go up and have a word with the old lady.”
“No hurry.” Mu Lan is at ease.
He Xiang said that the emperor was not anxious, anxious eunuch, but in the end he Xiang did not say anything, after all, after the next day, he Xiang also saw that Mu Lan was not so weak on the surface.
She did not say a word, still holding the snake wine, followed behind Mu Lan.
A party of people entered the dining room.
In the dining room, the two concubines of Prince Mu’s palace had already prepared breakfast in person and brought it out to please Wang Xueshuang and Chen Zhirong.
Chen Zhirong looks magnanimous, but the surface of the turbulent undercurrent has never been broken.
In the last life, Mu Lan’s memory of the two concubines can not be more light, almost never come and go, so that now, Mu Lan in the face of such two people, can only remain silent. One of the two concubines in
Prince Mu’s palace had no children after he had passed the womb.
Naturally, Mu Wangfu is also the least important, and the courtyard where he lives is the closest to the West Tower.
Another concubine gave birth to Mu Zhanxiao and Mu Mian for Mu Hongyuan, but Mu Hongyuan liked them. In addition, the people in this room were relatively low-key and never fought for them, so Chen Zhirong was also tolerant.
Obviously, Mu Zhanxiao is not simple.
Can be with Li Shiyu, how can it be simple, just last life, Mu Lan was completely deceived by Mu Zhihua, completely failed to understand this one.
That’s why I missed so much.
And the two concubines have obviously seen Mu Lan, just a polite nod, and did not say much, in the present situation of unknown conditions, silence is the best policy. If you
stand on the wrong side carelessly, you may be killed at any time.
A group of people gradually took their seats.
Mu Lan is naturally sitting in the most remote position, but she is never impatient.
It was not until Mammy Li suddenly said, “Old lady, Miss Mulan has brought something for me. I think Hexiang has been holding this bottle for a long time.”
“Oh?” Only then did Wang Hsueh-shuang look attentively at Hexiang. “Lan, what are you carrying?”? I didn’t hear you mention it.
“I see my grandmother is busy, and it’s not a big deal, so I won’t say anything.” Mu Lan advances and retreats properly and opens his mouth gently.
Wang Xueshuang is interested.
Because Wang Xueshuang’s identity is there, there are many snobbish people, which one is not in front of him, he would like to be able to please his own things to send up.
Therefore, Wang Xueshuang has seen many rare treasures and rare things, and there are very few things that can make Wang Xueshuang happy.
Now looking at Mu Lan to take things, Wang Xueshuang is a bit curious.
Curious about what kind of way Mu Lan can please himself.
And Wang Xueshuang has always been smart, Mu Lan wants to please their own purpose, show clearly, but Mu Lan’s approach will not make people feel purposeful, but as natural as a matter of course.
“Tell me about it.” Wang Xueshuang’s mouth is neither salty nor light.
Even the people present could not help looking over. The bottle
in Hexiang’s hand was covered by a cloth curtain, so that people could not see the contents of it, and everyone could not help exchanging a look.
But Mu Lan smiled calmly and calmly, and was not in a hurry to lift the curtain. She explained to Wang Hsueh-shuang: “Grandmother, inside is a bottle of King Cobra’s medicinal liquor, with top-grade ginseng and all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. If nothing else, at least it’s very good for Grandma’s health, so Mu Lan prepared it and sent it to Grandma.”
Other than that, Mulan didn’t mention anything.
Wang Xueshuang’s eyebrows twisted up, unable to guess her mood at the moment, whether she liked it or not.
Even Chen Zhirong was somewhat confused by Mu Lan’s move. The
two concubines also looked at each other, and neither of them dared to speak. Although the
king cobra is so venomous that it is impossible to survive after being bitten by it, this does not affect the tonic nature of the king cobra as a medicinal liquor. That’s why Mu Lan prepared to send it to his grandmother. Mulan continued to say.
Then she nodded to the lotus fragrance.
Hexiang did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent up the medicine bottle, which was still covered by the curtain.
“Oh, I’ve heard of that.” Wang Hsueh-shuang nods. “Lan has a heart.”
Mu Lan smiled. “Does Grandmother want to have a look?”? I’m afraid this king cobra is going to become a spirit, and you won’t see it in Kyoto. As the
voice fell, Mu Chih-hua, who was standing to one side, suddenly opened his mouth and began to complain: “Sister, do you really want to give such a thing to your grandmother, or do you want to frighten us?”? This place is full of women, not to mention king cobras, even ordinary snakes, and I’m scared.
Said, Mu Zhihua shivered close to Chen Zhirong, the eyes of panic and dislike expressed clearly.
As if to say that Mu Lan does not know the general situation.
Mu Lan looked at Mu Zhihua quietly.
Mu Zhihua was somewhat guilty of being seen by Mu Lan, but on the surface he always looked aggrieved: “Sister, am I wrong?”? Why do you look at me like that?
Mu Lan chuckled, neither salty nor light, but the irony in his eyebrows and eyes was obvious. Looked at Mu Zhihua’s eyes cold down, with a bit of provocation, there is no fear of any meaning.
Mu Zhihua’s heart beat very fast, and the fist in his palm clenched tightly.
Chen Zhirong is a person essence, the first time looked at Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua more and more appear guilty, suddenly, Chen Zhirong understood what, her brain turned fast. The
king cobra thing was done by Mu Zhihua.
And she could not guess what Mu Lan was going to do, so naturally she had to strike first. Although
Wang Xueshuang did not care about the backyard, she did not like the internal strife in the palace of Prince Mu. What she wanted was family harmony and prosperity.
Chen Zhirong also obviously did not expect that Mu Lan, who had just returned, could set off such a big wave.
As a result, before Chen Chih-jung could open her mouth, Mu Lan was already smiling at Mu Chih-hua: “Miss Yi is oversensitive. I didn’t mean to frighten everyone. I just thought that this palace of Mu’s was clean as soon as possible. Even if the flowers and trees were lush, they were cut out clearly. How could such a thing suddenly grow? That’s why I thought it was strange.”
This easily answered Mu Zhihua’s words and brought the matter out again.
Wang Hsueh-shuang’s brows were already twisted, and her face changed. “Lan’er, do you mean that this snake was found in the palace?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan doesn’t deny it. “Last night, after I fell asleep, I was awakened by this spectacle-king snake. If it hadn’t been for the quick reaction of Ho-hsiang and the housekeeper Chen, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to pay my respects to my grandmother today, but would have died under the snake’s venom.”
Obviously bloody incomparable picture, Mu Lan said again calm but.
“How could there be such a thing in the palace?” Wang Hsueh-shuang’s face turned cold, and she looked at Mammy Li. “Mammy Li, go and get the medicinal liquor in Hexiang’s hand. I’ve got a handful of bones. I haven’t seen what a king cobra looks like yet!”
“Yes.” Mammy Li immediately walked in the direction of the lotus fragrance.
Hexiang hurriedly handed the thing to Mammy Li, who took it and turned back to Wang Xueshuang, opening the curtain in front of all the people.
A huge king cobra had its eyes open, and although it was dead, its core was still outside, and it was soaked in the medicinal liquor, which made people panic. The other women
in the room could not help screaming, but the next second they covered their lips tightly, and their faces were pale.
Even Wang Xueshuang, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, could not help frowning.
“Mu Lan, do you know what will happen if you talk nonsense in the palace?” Wang Xueshuang questioned Mu Lan in a cold voice.
Mulan calmly replied, “Mulan knows.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang looked at Mu Lan from moment to moment, while Mu Chih-hua, who was standing to one side, was already sweating with fear. Without thinking about it, he said, “Grandmother, I’m in a panic when I look at Chih-hua. I feel a little uncomfortable.”
“Is Miss Yi afraid?” Mu Lan looked at Mu Chih-hua with a half-smile, as if to appease Mu Chih-hua. “However, Miss Yi lives in the east, where there is plenty of sunshine, and the flowers and plants are all pruned by a special person. Naturally, it is impossible for such things to appear, so Miss Yi doesn’t have to be afraid.” Then
Mu Lan chuckled, “As long as people are open and aboveboard, they won’t feel guilty and afraid. Miss Yi, am I right?”
Mu Chih-hua’s face changed, and he stammered, “Yes, my sister said so.”
Wang Xueshuang’s eyes fell on Mu Lan and Mu Zhihua’s body, eyes slightly narrowed, a little more sharp, Mu Zhihua bowed his head and dared not speak, as if afraid, but it was full of ten guilty.
“Make it clear.” Wang Xueshuang questioned Mu Lan in a cold voice.
Mu Lan is not impatient to look at Wang Xueshuang, this just said the context of the matter carefully, Wang Xueshuang’s eyebrows more and more tight.
Mu Lan’s eloquence is very good, and the picture that comes out makes people’s hair stand on end.
But Mu Lan’s purpose is not to describe this process, in Wang Xueshuang’s reaction, Mu Lan knows that his goal has been achieved.
“What Lan’er means is that the King Cobra was found in the West Building, where you live?” Wang Xueshuang grasped the key point and asked Mu Lan.
“Exactly.” Mu Lan answered, “When Mu Lan came, he found that the West Tower was relatively cold, and he didn’t see much sunshine all the year round. Although it wasn’t like weeds were reborn, I thought that the dark place might be more attractive to these things.” As
he spoke, Mulan chuckled, “I’m just going along with it. Since something so rare has appeared here, I just borrowed flowers and offered them to the Buddha to make snake wine for my grandmother to body building and physical fitness.”
Clearly is a matter that can not be explained clearly, but in the words of Mu Lan, it is very good to resolve such a tense atmosphere.
She slowly explained the benefits of medicinal liquor from a medical point of view, Wang Xueshuang’s face obviously eased down.
Looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is appreciative.
Mu Lan did not mention any topic again, and the dining room was silent, and no one dared to open his mouth.
“How did you do that?” Wang Xueshuang’s tone softened.
Mu Lan explains with a smile, “My adoptive father used to like these things, so I followed suit.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded, very appreciative, but there is no woman without talent is the idea of virtue, like Mu Lan a little more, and then, Wang Xueshuang suddenly looked at Chen Zhirong.
Chen Chih-jung froze for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and immediately answered, “Mother, if you have anything to say, just tell me.”
Mu Lan is the legitimate daughter of my Prince Mu’s mansion. Why does she live in the West Building? I remember that this matter was arranged by you. This matter is going to spread out. What will people outside say about the gossip of my Mu Wangfu? How can your side concubine come out. People outside will only say that you can’t tolerate the daughter of the late imperial concubine. In that case, how dare I give you the Mu Mansion after a hundred years?
Wang Xueshuang’s voice became stern.
Looking at Chen Zhirong’s eyes also a little more sharp. When the
imperial concubine was still there, Chen Zhirong had already given birth to Mu Zhantian, and even the three rooms had given birth to Mu Zhanxiao, but there was no news of the imperial concubine’s stomach, and Chen Zhirong was ready to move at that time. Just because
Wang Xueshuang doesn’t care doesn’t mean he doesn’t know.
Chen Zhirong wants to replace, everyone knows, but because of Mu Hongyuan’s love for the imperial concubine, Chen Zhirong can not be corrected, even if the imperial concubine died for many years, Chen Zhirong wished to take charge of the palace of Mu Wang, but it is still the name of the side imperial concubine, and has not been corrected.
Now Mu Lan came back, no matter what reason Mu Lan came back, Chen Zhirong naturally felt threatened, arranged such a thing in the courtyard, Chen Zhirong moved his hands and feet.
Just Mu Lan did not mention, the slaves dare not say, Wang Xueshuang will not ask, only let this matter continue to ferment.
And Mu Wangfu quickly clean, not to mention Mu Wangfu, even Kyoto can not see the king cobra, but this thing appeared in Mu Wangfu, but also so coincidentally, is in the West Tower where Mu Lan lives.
Sima Zhao’s heart is well known, and what he wants to do is really clear at a glance.
This clearly wants Mu Lan’s life.
But Mu Lan actually used the cleverest way, filed a complaint, but will not let the person be bored, instead lets the person like this clever girl more.
No crying, even calm and steady.
This is what a housewife should look like in Wang Xueshuang’s eyes.
In vain, Mu Lan is the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion.
And this kind of bearing, unexpectedly is a young girl in her prime of life, if not know the age of Mu Lan, Wang Xueshuang really feel that this should be a long-experienced woman will be calm and calm.
Chen Chih-jung was so frightened by Wang Hsueh-shuang’s words that she immediately stood up from her chair and knelt down in front of Wang Hsueh-shuang. “I asked my mother to punish me. It was because I didn’t arrange it well and didn’t notice these things that Mu Lan was frightened and this happened.”
Wang Xueshuang did not speak, but just looked at Chen Zhirong.
Chen Zhirong cold sweat, the palm of the hand has been tightly clenched into a fist, and the side of Mu Zhihua is also scared of the pale face, Chen Zhirong married into Mu Wang Fu for so many years, has never been so ashamed.
But now, all this is given by Mu Lan, but they have no ability to resist. How could
Chen Zhirong be reconciled.
But the two concubines stood quietly, not daring to say a word, only four rooms, do not have a profound look at Mu Lan, obviously Mu Lan also exceeded her expectations.
The daughter of the imperial concubine is by no means an ordinary person. Seeing that Wang Xueshuang was silent,
Chen Zhirong continued, “I will arrange a new courtyard for Mu Lan right away. This will never happen this time.”. I will also have someone thoroughly investigate the case of the king cobra in the palace, and I will surely find out the cause and effect. After saying
these words, Wang Xueshuang eased his face. With a wave of her hand,
she said, “Mammy Li, take the snake wine back. After all, Lan Er’s filial piety makes it all right to drink it.”. I’d like to look back and see how this palace can hide dirt and leave such a thing. If it can appear in Lan’er’s house today, it may appear in my old woman’s house tomorrow, and it will kill my old woman.
Wang Xueshuang’s words made the people in the room become silent in an instant.
Chen Zhirong knelt and did not work. “The slave knows,” said Mam
my Li respectfully.
Wang Xueshuang nodded, and then looked at Chen Zhirong carelessly: “You also get up, don’t bother to find the courtyard for Lan Er, before the imperial concubine’s courtyard let Lan Er move over on the line.”. After all, that’s where her mother and concubine lived, and no one is more suitable than Lan’er.
A word, let Chen Zhirong’s face changed, but because of Wang Xueshuang, Chen Zhirong did not dare to say anything more.
Everyone knows that the best location of Prince Mu’s mansion is the courtyard of the imperial concubine, which has been empty since the imperial concubine died of dystocia sixteen years ago. This is also the nearest place to Muhongyuan.
How many times Chen Zhirong blew the pillow wind and wanted Mu Hongyuan to give the courtyard to himself, but Mu Hongyuan never relented.
She did not ask for Wang Xueshuang, but Wang Xueshuang refused Chen Zhirong on the grounds that she was not suitable to be the master.
But now, Wang Xueshuang has given this courtyard to Mu Lan, this invisible is to tell all the people in the house, she is to recognize the identity of Mu Lan, no one can neglect Mu Lan.
Even if she this side imperial concubine, now has mastered the entire palace internal affairs, also must be respectful to Mu Lan.
Because Mu Lan is the legitimate daughter of the palace, is the person who has the most right to speak.
This and Chen Zhirong think completely different, how can not let Chen Zhirong hate to gnash teeth.
Their yearning for things, but so easily taken away by Mu Lan, Mu Lan or the woman she hated most, when she removed the imperial concubine, should not let Mu Lan stay.
Who knows, a baby will change everything in 16 years.
Chen Chih-jung, however, managed to hide this insidiousness very well, and in front of Wang Hsueh-shuang, she said respectfully, “Yes, mother, I’ll let the housekeeper Chen arrange it later.”
“You can’t lose any of the things you should have. I asked housekeeper Chen to prepare some clothes. The weather is getting cooler, and you can’t leave what you should prepare. If there’s anything missing, you can ask the storeroom to get it. Do you hear me?”. Wang Hsueh-shuang ordered, “I must thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the reason. I have lived most of my life, but I want to know how this king cobra came to the Prince’s Mansion.”
“Yes.” Chen Zhirong nodded. Only
then did Wang Hsueh-shuang stop mentioning it with satisfaction, and naturally changed the subject: “All right, let’s eat.”
After Wang Xueshuang moved the chopsticks, the rest of the people moved the chopsticks, and the undercurrent seemed to have never happened before.
It was not until the meal was over that Wang Xueshuang was a little tired and sent the others away.
The crowd filed out.
……
As soon as she left the house, Hexiang could not help clinging to Mulan and saying, “Miss, you are too powerful. You are going to move to the courtyard of the main concubine. You will make the side concubine angry to death.”
Mu Lan smiled and said, “I’m just getting back what I deserve.”. I won’t miss anything that doesn’t belong to me.
He Xiang seemed to understand and nodded.
The imperial concubine passed away for so many years, the palace is not without rumors, when the imperial concubine was pregnant, Chen Zhirong wanted to frame the imperial concubine many times, but Mu Hongyuan spoiled the imperial concubine, plus many bodyguards around the imperial concubine, which made Chen Zhirong fail.
But the imperial concubine dystocia, it is said that is not so simple, but was killed.
This man is self-evident.
It’s just that there’s no evidence, and no one dares to say that in the palace.
He Xiang thought about it, and when he wanted to say something, he saw Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua suddenly turn back and walk back. He Xiang immediately took back the words on his lips.
She said, “The maidservant has seen the imperial concubine, Miss Yi.”
Chen Chih-jung did not pay any attention to the fragrance of the lotus, but just looked at Mu Lan in this way. Mu Lan was calm and blessed: “Mu Lan has seen the empress.”
Chen Zhirong’s eyes did not move away from Mu Lan’s body.
Mu Lan also did not avoid Chen Zhirong’s eyes, calmly standing, eyelids did not blink.
“Mulan, I underestimated you.” Chen Zhirong spoke directly, and his voice was somewhat gloomy.
Mu Lan lifted her eyelids, but she said calmly, “The empress has praised me. Mu Lan is just driven by the instinct of survival.”. If no one provokes Mu Lan, Mu Lan will naturally be able to keep his nose clean.
Chen Zhirong stood without changing her face.
“If someone provokes Mu Lan, then Mu Lan is bound to be vindictive. After all, a good man is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others, isn’t it?” Mu Lan even went so far as to say that he was somewhat lazy and undisciplined. “I don’t like people riding on my head.”
“You..” In the wide sleeve, Chen Zhirong’s hand clenched tightly into a fist.
Mu Lan obviously had no intention of chatting with Chen Chih-jung. “Empress, if it’s all right, Mu Lan has to go back to the West Building to pack up.” Finish
saying, Mu Lan did not pay attention to Chen Zhirong again, turn round to walk.
Chen Zhirong gas anger attack heart, even if she means sinister, can climb to the present position is not necessarily a fuel-efficient lamp, but in the quick tongue, Chen Zhirong is obviously no match for Mu Lan.
When Mu Zhihua saw that Chen Chih-jung had suffered, he stopped Mu Lan directly: “Stop! Who allowed you to be so rude?”
The voice falls, Mu Zhihua’s hand has also been raised, homeopathy will give Mu Lan ear photon, but Mu Lan’s action is faster, directly clasped Mu Zhihua’s hand. When I met Li Shiyu
yesterday, Mu Lan wanted to hide his martial arts, so everything was in forbearance.
In Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan does not need to hide at all.
Because Mu Zhihua doesn’t understand kungfu at all, he only thinks you are strong.
So, Mu Lan unceremoniously used force, almost in the next moment will be Mu Zhihua’s wrist to break, Mu Zhihua screamed.
Chen Zhirong’s face also changed.
“Miss Yee, I don’t like people yelling at me.” Mu Lan opened his mouth coldly and looked at Mu Zhihua with a gloomy look in his eyes. “Is Miss Yi not afraid to shout so loudly? Maybe the king cobra will go to find you tonight.”
Mu Chih-hua’s face turned white in an instant: “Mu Lan, you..”
“After all, there’s a king cobra in the palace. Who knows if there’s a second one?” Mu Lanpi smiled and threatened.
Then, Mu Lan loosened Mu Zhihua’s hand, Mu Zhihua’s wrist was almost dislocated by Mu Lan, and her face was even more white and frightening.
Mu Lan did not pay attention to the chaos here, turned around and walked in the direction of the West Tower, this scene is also natural to see in the eyes of the slaves in the house, the slaves also looked at each other, who dare not open their mouths. What happened
today made it clear that Wang Xueshuang was on Mu Lan’s side.
And Mu Lan’s means and attitude have also warned the people in the palace, and Mu Lan against, and not much good end.
These slaves have long become the elite, and naturally know the meaning of talking to people and ghosts.
At first, he was disrespectful to Mu Lan and felt that Mu Lan was a slave who abandoned his daughter. He also changed his attitude in an instant and became respectful to Mu Lan.
After Mu Lan left, Chen Zhirong’s face never eased.
Mu Chih-hua looked at Chen Chih-jung with grievance and wept, “Mother, you have to make decisions for Chih-hua. Look at how proud Mu Lan is.”. If you keep this person, it will be a disaster if you turn around and say something.
“Don’t make trouble for me.” Chen Chih-jung ignored Mu Chih-hua’s wailing and warned in a low voice, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done. You can do such a big thing without my permission!”
Mu Chih-hua was scolded and became honest, but he was somewhat unwilling: “I can handle it.”. It would have been done long ago.
“Your brother doesn’t want to hear from you.” Chen Chih-jung twisted her eyebrows and said, This kind of thing will have to be discussed with me later. Now that the situation has changed, Mulan has your grandmother’s backing, and it’s too easy to get into trouble at the slightest sign of trouble. Let’s wait and see what happens. There are plenty of opportunities to get rid of her. Don’t be impatient.
“Yes.” Mu Zhihua answered, but he did not dare to do it again.
Chen Chih-jung lowered her eyebrows and her eyes sank. “When Zhan Tian comes back, you let him come to me.”
Mu Zhihua gave a hum.
Chen Zhirong nodded and said nothing more, and soon left in a hurry with Mu Zhihua.
But the king cobra this matter, must look for a scapegoat to come out, otherwise, this matter cannot end well, sooner or later will draw fire to burn oneself. Was placed
by Mu Lan this way, Chen Zhirong is a grudge in the heart, she will not let Mu Lan proud down.
She can get rid of the imperial concubine, and how to allow Mu Lan to be presumptuous in front of himself.
In such gloom, Chen Zhirong left in a hurry.
……
“Miss” Hexiang followed Mu Lan and looked at the scene before. She couldn’t help saying, “You’ve offended the imperial concubine. I’m afraid..”
“Afraid?” Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrance and laughed.
Ho-hsiang shook her head. “I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid when there’s a young lady around.”
“So?” Mulan raised an eyebrow. “Maybe I’ll sell you one day.”
“That is also the fate of He-hsiang.” He Xiang said directly, not to please, but really think so.
Mulan burst out laughing and poked Hexiang on the forehead. “Don’t worry. One day when your young lady is here, I’ll have meat to eat, and so will you. Don’t worry about that. I don’t care about a side concubine.”
He Xiang listened to Mu Lan’s words and looked at Mu Lan with some adoration. The self-confidence and calmness in
Mu Lanmei’s eyes come from long experience and are convincing unconsciously.
The master and servant walked in the direction of the West Tower.
Walking out of the corridor, Mu Lan stopped and looked at Mu Zhantian. He Xiang was a little nervous and immediately knelt down to pay his respects. “I’ve seen the king of Yi County.”
Chen Zhirong is at least a person who is gentle on the surface and seems to be easy to talk to.
And Mu Zhantian is a gloomy person from beginning to end, slightly offended, he can let you can not survive, can not die, so the people in the palace to see Mu Zhantian are cautious.
In particular, Hexiang, an inferior slave in the West Tower, could not be more afraid. Compared
with Hexiang’s submissiveness, Mu Lan was much more undisciplined. Instead, she told Hexiang directly, “Get up first and go back to clean up. Housekeeper Chen is waiting.”
He Xiang Leng, finally listening to Mu Lan’s command to get up.
Mu Zhantian’s expression was even colder. “Did the king let you, a slave, get up?”
He Xiang was frightened to kneel down again, but before he could kneel down to the ground, he was brought up directly by Mu Lan, who looked at Mu Zhantian without changing his face. But
it was to Hexiang that he said, “Go back and clean up.”. Know who your master is. I didn’t ask you to kneel. You don’t have to grovel to anyone.
He Xiang answered, but still looked at Mu Lan with some worry.
In Mu Lan’s firm eyes, he Xiang summoned up courage and left quickly.
Mu Zhantian watched the fragrance of the lotus leave, and his eyes fell on Mu Lan. “Mu Lan, that’s how you taught your slaves. When you saw the king, you didn’t kneel down to pay your respects.”
“King Yi, isn’t it up to the master to beat the dog?” “He Xiang is one of mine,” said Mu Lan calmly. “Outside, you are the king of Yi County. Inside Mu Wang Fu, I am also ahead of you. When I am in power, if the king of Yi County doesn’t know how to be modest, it’s really asking for trouble, isn’t it?”
“What sharp teeth.” Mu Zhantian gave a sneer. “You were lucky last night. The king would like to see how many lives you have. You can escape again and again.”
Mu Lan laughed out loud in a low voice, but his sweet laughter was like wind chimes blowing in the wind, and he was not afraid of the danger of Mu Zhan Tian. When he looked up at Mu Zhantian
again, his eyebrows and eyes were already tinged with coldness: “King of Yi County, I was sent out of Mu’s palace when I was a child, because my life was hard. I would like to know whether I took someone else’s life first, or my life was confessed first.”
Mu Zhantian’s hand was pressed on the scabbard, as if the sword would be pulled out at any time.
But Mu Lan is very calm into a step, and Mu Zhantian paste is very close, cat pupil in the amorous feelings toss and turn, but such amorous feelings with blood.
Onion white boneless small hand, gently pressed on the palm of Mu Zhantian, a luck, the sound of the sword falling scabbard came, and Mu Lan has withdrawn his hand as if nothing had happened.
The voice, with some disdain, came to Mu Zhantian’s ears: “The king of Yi County has come to this day and has become a confidant of the prince. He must have some means.”. I’m a man who likes challenges. Don’t let me down, eh?
This is a naked provocation.
After that, Mu Lan ignored Mu Zhantian and walked in the direction of the West Tower without looking back.
Mu Zhantian looked at Mu Lan’s figure, his eyes became more and more heavy, and the cruelty in his eyes was obvious.
After that, Mu Zhan’s genius quickly turned around and left, no longer staying here. After
Mu Zhantian left, a tall figure came out from behind the rockery.
His eyebrows and eyes with a bit of deep meaning, thoughtfully looking at the direction of Mu Lan’s departure, but some surprise.
In the palace, almost no one dare and side imperial concubine a room of people against, even if the heart has dissatisfaction is also very good, like Mu Lan, just came back two days to let side imperial concubine a room of one after another.
In addition to what happened
last night, Mu Zhanxiao stood with his hands on his back, and the fist in his palm tightened.
This Mu Lan, already let a person do not understand.
Enemy or friend?
Mu Zhanxiao sank, did not say anything, but quietly toward the direction of the West Tower calmly followed up.
……
West floor
such as Mu Lan arrived, Chen butler has ordered people to pack up, Mu Lan’s things are not too much, two or three people did not have a moment of time has been packed up.
It was Hexiang who looked nervously at the door of the West Building and was relieved to see Mu Lan.
“Miss, you’ve come back. You scared Hexiang to death.” He Xiang was a little scared.
Mu Lan just smiled and walked toward the butler. “Thank you, butler Chen.”
Chen’s attitude was even more flattering: “Miss, your things are all packed up, and I’ll have someone send them to the Snow Tower in a moment.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan motioned with a smile.
The slave found two other maids to wait on the young lady, and arranged four bodyguards for the young lady to avoid the accident of yesterday. These are all our own people, who have been carefully trained by the slaves. Please rest assured, young lady. Chen butler’s heartfelt expression is extremely obvious.
Mu Lan smiled.
Such a result is expected.
When entering Mu Wang Fu, Chen butler was already obedient to himself, but because of Chen Zhirong, Chen butler could not do anything more.
Now that Wang Xueshuang has spoken, Chen’s housekeeper naturally has no scruples. The meaning of this
training, on behalf of these are Chen butler’s confidant, and Chen Zhirong has nothing to do, placed in their own here is absolutely safe, but also can be used.
Mu Lan didn’t say anything. House
keeper Chen went on to say, “In a few days, the clothes prepared for the young lady will be ready, and the slave will send them to Luoxue Lou to give them to the young lady.”. Then let the tailor personally make some winter clothes for the young lady. These tailors were all from the best embroidery house in the world in those days. They were good embroiderers, and the young lady would certainly like them. When Mu Lan
heard this, he looked at Chen. “Chen, where do you think these tailors came from?”
The Li family. The most famous embroidering house in the world in those days has been in decline for a long time, but these beautiful girls and tailors have all come out. When the Li family was not in decline, even the empress in the palace might not be able to ask for a dress. Chen butler is a little sad. The decline of the
Li family was no more than thirty years, and it was defeated overnight.
The Li family was defeated overnight. There were too many rumors. Some people said that they had offended the empress Dowager, so they were beheaded. Some people said that the Li family once had an empress in the palace, which eventually brought disaster to the whole embroidery room. Others said that the Li family embroidered the relics of the former Dynasty, which angered the emperor.
But no one knows.
I only know that thirty years ago, the Li family was beheaded all over the house, and none of them survived, and these embroidered girls fled one after another, hiding their names and not daring to say where they came from.
It’s just that the Li family’s embroidery method is unique and can be seen through at a glance.
So Li Jiaguang is no longer brilliant, but these embroidered girls can also get a chance of survival.
And the world still likes to label them as the Li family.
“So?” Mulan sank thoughtfully. Then he said, “Let them come and see me later.”
“Yes.” Chen butler did not think much about it, only when Mu Lan had a request to mention it to these embroidered girls.
And Mu Lan did not say anything more, soon, Mu Lan led the lotus fragrance, from the West Tower to the Snow Tower, all the way, the scenery is infinite.
Meet the slave, see the slave from a distance all grovel to pay their respects.
Mu Lan is not arrogant, like a spring breeze blowing, more and more let the slaves be convinced. Not long after
leaving the West Tower, Mu Lan suddenly stopped for a moment. He Xiang was stunned and looked at Mu Lan. “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
“You go first.” Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.
Hexiang didn’t dare to think much about it and walked ahead. Chen’s housekeeper cleverly didn’t ask much. After nodding his head, he took the slaves in the direction of the Snow Tower. When
Mu Lan walked out of the West Tower and arrived at the promenade, he turned around and walked toward the southwest corner.
“Second Brother.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly, calling Mu Zhanxiao in the dark.
Mu Zhanxiao is not taboo, calmly unbroken from behind the tree came out, gentle at Mu Lan smiled. Compared with Mu Zhanxiao
and Mu Zhantian, it is much more low-key, is the imperial bodyguard in the palace, although not as deep as Mu Zhantian’s emperor’s favor, but also mixed like a fish in water.
Most of the time, Mu Zhanxiao lived in the palace.
So Mu Zhanxiao knew Li Shiyu.
This is the cause and effect of Mu Lan Shun later.
But Mu Lan with the memory of the last life, although she had no contact with Mu Zhanxiao in the last life, but also clearly know that Mu Zhanxiao is not the imperial bodyguard so simple, in the imperial capital also cultivated a lot of their own forces and shops. The largest bank and cloth spinning in the
imperial capital, as well as the famous antique shop, all belong to Mu Zhanxiao.
But now, Mu Lan has no doubt that all this is not only Mu Zhanxiao, but also Li Shiyu.
Also because of this, so the last life, in the prince Li Shiyuan has not yet ascended the throne, side imperial concubine Chen Zhirong why for a long time did not lay hands on the three rooms, is nothing more than scruples about the existence of Mu Zhanxiao.
After Li Shiyu’s defeat, Mu Zhanxiao was naturally uprooted.
At that time, Wang Xueshuang had already passed away, Mu Hongyuan had no time to take care of these, and the three rooms disappeared completely.
But in this life, Mu Lan is very clear, Mu Zhanxiao in the hands of these things, is his most advantageous springboard, do not need to bother, as long as Mu Zhanxiao is willing to help, then the recovery of the embroidery room is just around the corner, as for the revenge of the Li family, she can come back.
“I don’t deserve this second brother.” Mu Zhanxiao smiled and said, “But I admire you for being able to easily get the Luoxue Tower that the side imperial concubine has been thinking about for many years.”
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows, somewhat carelessly, and even somewhat lazily: “The second brother has been following the fourth prince for a long time, so he also likes to test people when he has nothing to do.”
Mu Zhanxiao will be a happy army, silent, temporarily unable to answer.
He is not a man of eloquence.
Also obviously did not expect Mu Lan to be able to say so bluntly.
In the end, Mu Zhanxiao was amused, and looked at Mu Lan with a smile in his eyes: “Sometimes testing is a means of self-protection.”
“That’s true.” Mu Lan doesn’t deny it: “So the second brother made a special trip to the West Building to find out what was going on.”
Mu Zhanxiao smiled and said nothing.
Mu Lan’s eyes fell on Mu Zhanxiao, but he seemed much calmer: “Now that the second elder brother has come, I might as well talk business with the second elder brother.” “I’m just an imperial bodyguard. How can I talk about business?” Said
Mu Zhanxiao with a heavy face.
When Mu Lan heard Mu Zhanxiao’s words, he lowered his head and chuckled. Then he looked up at Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes, which were much sharper: The situation in Korea and China is not clear now, and several waves of forces are based on their own. The prince is a legitimate future son of heaven, but many forces are advancing at the same time, so how can prince succeed easily?
Mu Lan suddenly said something irrelevant.
This makes Mu Zhanxiao’s expression change slightly, and then look at Mu Lan’s eyes, it becomes much more fierce.
But Mulan didn’t mind at all, but continued lightly: “I, Mulan, am just a weak woman. I don’t want to see these things in the court, and I can’t see through them. Second Brother, all I want is to borrow Second Brother’s chassis to do something and leave some money for myself to defend myself.”
Mu Zhanxiao did not speak, stood, did not leave, and did not deny.
“After all, it’s easy for people to do things with money. If there’s a chance, I’ll have a way out.” Mu Lan does not shy away from his own demands. “Where did I come from? What kind of situation is it in the house? I don’t think a clever man like my second brother would know.”
「……」
“So I’ll make a deal with my second brother to see if he’s willing.” Mulan threw out the bait.
Mu Zhanxiao didn’t take the bait. His eyes fell on Mu Lan, and people couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. He only heard him say lightly, “Let’s hear it.”. What is there in me that is worth your trouble?
Mu Lan smiled, Yes. In the most prosperous part of the imperial capital, I want two shops, a reliable shopkeeper, and two trustworthy people.
In a word, let Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes slightly narrow.
When Li Shiyu and himself said that Mu Lan was not simple, Mu Zhanxiao only thought that Li Shiyu was a soldier, but now, Mu Zhanxiao did not think that Li Shiyu was a soldier, but he looked down on Mu Lan.
These things, even if Mu Zhantian and the prince do not know, why would Mu Lan know?
This, Mu Zhanxiao’s eyes, also has hidden a few points of killing.
Li Shiyu’s words are right. I’m afraid
Mu Lan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, such a person can’t stay before he can’t distinguish between friends and enemies.
And how could Mu Lan not see Mu Zhanxiao’s reaction? She didn’t care at all. She went on: “What the second elder brother has to worry about is not only the people that the prince sees on the surface. The prince has also cultivated a lot of influence in the dark. There is Chengji, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War in the court. The second elder brother can bury the business line in the imperial capital, and so can prince. The prince is the master of the second largest bank behind the scenes.”
Mu Lan’s words stopped. She looked at Mu Zhanxiao and said, “Second Brother doesn’t believe me. As long as Second Brother helps me, I will naturally find out the charges of Mu Zhantian for Second Brother. There is also a roster of contacts with the prince. I think Second Brother needs these.”
This condition is extremely attractive.
These assassinations were all due to the roster and the evidence of the prince’s guilt in the hands of Mu Zhantian.
With this incriminating evidence, bringing down the prince is just around the corner.
And these things, Mu Lan actually know.
Mu Zhanxiao sank, and did not give the answer at the first time, nor did he answer any of Mu Lan’s questions.
Mu Lan, however, was not in a hurry to open his mouth: “After the second brother has thought it over, he can give me the answer.”
Say that finish, Mu Lan nodded, toward the direction of the snow building, as if never appeared, Mu Zhanxiao looked at Mu Lan left the figure, slightly narrowed eyes, with a trace of deep meaning, for a long time have not said a word.
It was not until Mu Lan’s figure was completely out of his sight that Mu Zhanxiao quietly left.
……
By the time Mulan reached the Snow Tower, the butler Chen and the slaves he had brought with him were already busy. When they saw Mulan, the slaves knelt down in unison: “The slaves have seen the eldest lady.” “Get up,” murmu
red Mulan.
Only then did the slaves get up respectfully.
“Miss.” Chen’s voice said, “These two are the bright moon and the fresh breeze. They are in charge of the young lady’s daily life. They are at the young lady’s disposal at any time. The two outside are the little five and the little seven. They have deep skills and can take good care of the young lady’s safety.”
“There is Lao Chen, the housekeeper.” Mu Lan nodded his head.
The housekeeper said nothing more, but said happily, “The slave will leave first, and will not disturb the young lady’s rest.”
Mu Lan said lightly, “Go.” After butler
Chen reached the door, he suddenly turned back. Mu Lan looked at butler Chen. Then butler Chen opened his mouth and went on to say, “Wang Yeh will go back to the mansion today. Please get the young lady ready.”. Today’s matter, the side imperial concubine empress will first step and Wang Ye will know. Although the old lady gave the young lady the Falling Snow Tower, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing. No one could guess what Wang Yeh was thinking.
Chen butler is talking about Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded clearly: “Thank you, butler Chen, for your advice.” Mu Lan understood
this move. Living in the snow building, it seems to be an absolute victory, Wang Xueshuang spoiled himself, but the more spoiled, the more treading on thin ice.
Mu Hongyuan’s deep love for the late princess has never allowed anyone to enter the Snow Tower.
Mu Lan’s entry is undoubtedly a challenge to Mu Hongyuan’s authority. Wang Xueshuang’s purpose in doing so is to kill two birds with one stone. Besides warning Chen Zhirong, he is also warning Mu Lan.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on Mu Lan’s good fortune.
After that, Chen butler did not stay in the snow building, nodded and left. After
Chen butler left, Mu Lan stood in front of the window and pondered.
In her last life, the first time she saw Mu Hongyuan was a few days after she came back. She was tortured and crazy. Even if Mu Hongyuan saw her face similar to that of the late princess, she would not be willing to accept such a crazy self.
Almost after a look, Mu Hongyuan’s eyes were disgusted, and then naturally gave himself to Chen Zhirong to teach, the result can be imagined, nature is worse than death.
This kind of torture, until that year’s draft, Chen Zhirong wanted Mu Zhihua to marry the prince, and pushed Mu Lan out. Unexpectedly
, on the day of the draft, Mu Lan had a high fever, his face was pale and frightening, and his eyes were scattered and dull. Today, the emperor naturally looked down on him. With Chen Zhirong’s means, Mu Lan became a palace maid.
Later, Mu Lan was accidentally taken in by Prince Li Shiyuan, which turned over.
Then Chen Zhirong and Mu Lan warmed up.
Of course, this is the last word, the last word of the trap.
And now Mu Lan wants to think about how to occupy a position in Mu Hongyuan’s heart, so that Mu Hongyuan has a deep memory of himself, and will not implicate himself because of the matter of falling snow.
In this way, in Mu Wang Fu, she is a firm foothold.
At least it is impossible to be besieged on all sides, and the people who clean up the side of the imperial concubine alone will become simple. But Mu Lan also has some scruples, once her action has changed the history, then whether the track of the previous history will change?
Mu Lan did not know that she could not easily draw a conclusion before the situation was unknown and she had no backing. You can
‘t gamble.
Quiet, Mu Lan thought about it, called back the housekeeper Chen who had left, and asked carefully about his mother and concubine.
Chen butler is truthfully and Mu Lan said the late princess’s preferences, as well as the dribs and drabs of getting along with Mu Hongyuan, Mu Lan carefully wrote down, and then thanked.
Chen butler just left.
Asking these is not for anything else, but Mu Lan wants to use the mother and concubine to arouse Mu Hongyuan’s attention, this is the most stable way, otherwise any trick will be self-defeating.
Because Mu Hongyuan is also famous for his uncertainty.
Only for the late princess, Mu Hongyuan will hold back all his temper.
Mu Lan was sent away, apart from the untimely birth, the biggest reason is that the late princess died because of the birth of Mu Lan dystocia, Mu Hongyuan is disgusted with Mu Lan.
Even hate.
Mu Lan in Mu Hongyuan’s heart is good for nothing, plus Chen Zhirong has taken the lead in sowing dissension, Mu Hongyuan will not have any soft-hearted, she can use this and Luo Xue is almost a copy of the face, Yingying appeared in front of Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Hongyuan will be powerless.
After that, Mu Lan heavily ordered, “Hexiang, help me find a set of aqua blue skirts, find the accessories that my mother likes from my grandmother’s jewelry that Chen said, and help me dress up according to my mother’s appearance.” After two days
, He-hsiang was already convinced by Mulan, and did not question what Mulan had done. She repeatedly replied, “I’m going.”
Mu Lan waited patiently.
Half an hour later, the appearance of the figure in the
bronze mirror made Ho-hsiang exclaim: “Miss, you were born good-looking, and after dressing up, there is probably no one in Kyoto who is more beautiful than you.”
It’s really beautiful.
Slightly mature makeup, will not let Mu Lan appear old-fashioned, but let Mu Lan become more dignified and stable, aqua blue clothes said Mu Lan’s skin can be broken. Every step, like a fairy, leisurely. Some of
the lotus fragrance can not return to God.
Instead, Mulan walked up to Hexiang and knocked on her forehead. “I’ll just say these words here. If you go out of here, you’ll rot them in your stomach. Not to mention whether you’ll bring me trouble or not, at least your life will be restless in the palace.”
He Xiang nodded repeatedly. “The maidservant knows.”
After all, Mu Lan is a legitimate daughter, but the person who walks in the palace all the year round is Mu Zhihua, and the whole Kyoto knows that the daughter of Mu Wangfu is Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, but also a very jealous person, how can others be better than themselves.
Therefore, let the lotus incense silence, is only a means of self-protection.
Seeing that he Xiang was clever, Mu Lan was relieved and nodded, “It’s almost time. We can’t come later than Dad.”. It never hurts to go early.
Say that finish, Mu Lan leisurely toward the snow outside the building.
If Mu Lan’s memory is correct, Mu Hongyuan after returning to the mansion, from Chen Zhirong that left, must come to the snow building, this is Mu Hongyuan’s habit.
Not to mention, there is still such an uninvited guest living in Luoxuelou.
Mu Lan sank, but gradually calmed down.
Sure enough, when Hexiang pushed the door open, she went out, and before she could get out of the small courtyard of the Snow Tower, she saw Mu Hongyuan’s tall figure come in, frowning, and the sense of seriousness was obvious.
He came with anger.
He Xiang was obviously afraid for a moment and looked at Mu Lan subconsciously.
Mulan soothed Hexiang with his eyes, and then calmly walked up to Mu Hongyuan: “Mulan has seen his father.”
Mu Lan lowered his head, did not look up, waiting for Mu Hongyuan to open his mouth.
Mu Hongyuan’s line of sight is Mu Lan’s head, his anger waves of roll up, in the first time back to the house, Chen Zhirong has seen himself, the whole story of this matter is truthfully said. Between the lines
, Chen Zhirong seems to be a complete statement of the facts.
But this literally means that Mu Lan deliberately fawned on Wang Xueshuang and gave them a lot of embarrassment. In just a few days, he stirred up trouble in Wangfu in order to recapture Luoxuelou. The purpose
of recapturing Luoxuelou is to show the identity of his legitimate daughter.
Chen Zhirong is crying, if this matter spread out, outsiders will think that the people of the palace do not agree, this is not to add to the embarrassment of Mu Hongyuan?
Besides, everyone in the palace knows that Luoxuelou is a taboo, Mu Lan can be so justified to come back, can only take oneself is Chongxi can give Wang Xueshuang life this matter, to coerce Wang Xueshuang.
After all, no one is afraid of death.
In Wangfu, Luoxuelou is Mu Hongyuan’s taboo, but Mu Hongyuan is a filial son, absolutely no one is allowed to disrespect Wang Xueshuang.
These charges add up, in Chen Zhirong’s view, Mu Lan can not escape this time.
“How dare you.” Mu Hung-yuan snorted coldly, “Do you know what crime it is to live in Luoxue Lou without permission?” Chen, who was
following Mu Hung-yuan, twisted his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “Wang Yeh, this is what the old lady means.”
This is to help Mu Lan speak.
But Mu Hongyuan paid no attention: “There is no room for you to talk here.”
“The slave is guilty.” Chen butler immediately answered. Out of the corner of his
eye, he looked at Mu Lan, unable to help, but Mu Lan smiled calmly and slowly looked up at Mu Hongyuan.
At the moment when Mu Lan raised his head, not only Mu Hongyuan, but also Chen’s housekeeper was stunned. At the first sight of Mu Lan, bu
tler Chen knew that Mu Lan was a copy of the late princess, but in such a deliberate dress, anyone who had seen the late princess would think that Luo Xue had come back to life.
Mu Hongyuan looked shocked, did not say a word for a long time, before the anger monstrous moment also in such a face, completely converged up.
Father, when Mu Lan first arrived, he didn’t know what crime he had committed. The old lady just felt sorry for Mu Lan, who nearly died in the West Building. In addition, there were people in the courtyard of the East Building, and they wouldn’t be able to get out for a while. That’s why she wanted to give Mu Lan Falling Snow Building.
Mu Lan is neither humble nor pushy, and by the way, he mentioned the matter of the West Building to prove his innocence, but he did not say it carefully.
Mu Lan is very clear, Chen Zhirong is absolutely impossible to mention what happened in the West Building.
What Mu Hongyuan heard was just taken out of context.
To be able to live in the snow building, Mu Lan is also a little surprised, but for Mu Lan, this is to take it as it comes, Wang Xueshuang kill two birds with one stone, Mu Lan knows, can not disobey. It is the best policy to survive
in adversity. It is the most incorrect action to hit a stone with an egg before
one’s wings are full.
Showing weakness is the clearest way to do it. The shock in
Mu Hongyuan’s eyes did not disperse for a long time, even Mu Lan’s voice he felt that his beloved concubine had come back, that every smile, every move, if not a very close person, how could it be so similar.
He clenched his fist in the palm of his hand, and his eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body in an instant.
Mu Lan also did not avoid Mu Hongyuan’s eyes, quiet Ren Mu Hongyuan looked at.
“You..” It took him a long time to find his own voice. “What did you say your name was?”
“Mu Lan.” Mu Lan answered calmly.
Mu Lan.
Mu Hongyuan’s memory suddenly became absentminded, and of course he remembered the name of Mu Lan. It was his beloved concubine who took it personally when she was pregnant. At that time, he had absolute expectations for Mu Lan’s birth. He wanted to give Mu Lan all the best things in the world.
As a result, the fact is that such a mistake happened.
In the end, Luo Xue’s life was not saved, and Mu Lan was sent to the palace. For sixteen years, he ignored her.
Even Mu Hongyuan still remembers that Mu Lan held his hand on his deathbed and carefully explained that he should take good care of Mu Lan and not let Mu Lan lose his mother and father.
As a result
, now looking at Yingying and falling in front of his Mu Lan, Mu Hongyuan’s mood is also somewhat ups and downs.
If Dad thinks it’s not appropriate for Mu Lan to live in Luoxuelou, Mu Lan will move out immediately. If you have offended your father, please forgive him. Mu Lan said neither humble nor pushy. She
didn’t get up. She was still kneeling, but her spine was straight.
Looking at Mu Hongyuan’s eyes is not fear, but also with a trace of indifference and blame, as if this sound is only because of the blood relationship, not from the heart to please.
The two people are very close, but they also have a sense of distance.
Such a sense of distance, not only did not provoke Mu Hongyuan, but let Mu Hongyuan suppress years of guilt, that is, a burst of surge up.
In Dazhou, having no children after marriage is a major crime and can be divorced by the husband’s family.
Luo Xue married into Mu Wangfu for many years without children, Kyoto people are also talking about, Mu Hongyuan is under the pressure of Wang Xueshuang, this is one after another to marry the side of the imperial concubine and concubine, ease the tension conflict.
But this does not affect Mu Hongyuan’s love for Luo Xue.
Just a little bit of Luo Xue fell into the irresistible desolation, but also in such desolation, Luo Xue’s body was dragged down day by day. When she
finally got pregnant, she failed to survive, but insisted on giving birth to Mu Lan.
And now Mu Lan seems to be at that time with sad eyes, blame looking at their own Luo Xue, all of a sudden let Mu Hongyuan’s heart soft down.
That is the guilt of Luo Xue, but also the guilt of Mu Lan.
Finally he failed to take care of Mu Lan, even did not hold a look, Mu Lan has been sent away, not never thought of, but a lot of things, and finally put Mu Lan completely behind.
Plus all the people clearly told themselves, Mu Lan is a jinx, can not stay for a long time, for a long time, Mu Hongyuan naturally also preconceived that.
Mu Hongyuan’s reaction, Mu Lan carefully see in the eyes.
She’s calm. When
Mu Hongyuan came to his senses, he also realized that he had lost his temper. He sank and calmed down. He stood in front of Mu Lan with his hands on his back. “You get up first.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Mu Lan is not affectation, quickly stood up.
But Mu Lan also did not take the initiative to approach Mu Hongyuan, more did not speak, but just so quietly standing in place. There was a faint smell in the
air.
It was not until Mu Hongyuan said, “Did you just say that you nearly died in the West Tower?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan did not deny it.
Mu Hongyuan looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, which changed from gentle to sharp: “How could you almost die in the magnificent palace of Mu Wang?”? Besides, who in the Mu Mansion doesn’t know why you came back? How could anything happen to you?
Mu Lan did not immediately open his mouth, as if thinking about how to say.
She knew that Mu Hongyuan was questioning himself, even if his present appearance made Mu Hongyuan feel guilty, but this did not mean that he could easily replace Chen Zhirong’s power rooted in the palace for many years.
Therefore, some words are not suitable for Mu Lan to take the initiative to say.
In the last life, Mu Lan never had a chance to talk to him in front of Mu Hongyuan, and there was no time to set things right, so Mu Lan also appeared to be more careful. There was a little more speculation and speculation in
her mind.
Soon her eyes were inadvertently swept over the housekeeper Chen. House
keeper Chen knew this and immediately answered respectfully, “If you go back to Wang Yeh, this is what happened.”. A king cobra suddenly appeared in the West Tower at night, disturbing the young lady and nearly killing her, so the old lady was furious and asked her to move to the Snow Tower immediately.
Chen butler made things clear in a few words.
“Nonsense.” Mu Hongyuan’s voice rose sharply, angrily rebuking Chen butler, “Are you getting more and more confused now?”? How could there be a king cobra in the palace? Even Kyoto couldn’t exist.
“Forgive me, Lord.” Housekeeper Chen was calm. “The old lady knew about this, so she ordered the slave to send the young lady to Luoxuelou. The slave also saw the king cobra with his own eyes.”. As for how the serpent came, the slave doesn’t know.
As Chen’s voice fell, Mu Lan began to speak in fear: “Father, Mu Lan doesn’t know where this snake came from. If Mu Lan hadn’t known that the snake hit seven inches, I’m afraid what he saw today would have been Mu Lan’s body, not a living person.”
She looked at Mu Hongyuan and said, “Ten thousand steps back, even if Mu Lan doesn’t cherish his life, he won’t use such a tragic way of death to make trouble for himself.” As
he spoke, Mu Lan’s eyes turned red. “Besides, Mu Lan doesn’t have the guts.”. When he saw the snake, Mulan was already terrified. If it hadn’t been for his instinct to survive, he would have fainted on the spot.
The words were pitiful, and when he looked at Mu Hongyuan again, it was like the panic of the rest of his life, and his slender body was still shivering. The
more you look at it, the more people feel pity.
Not to mention the tearful appearance of Mu Lan’s eyes, just like Luo Xue, who accused himself in those years.
Mu Hongyuan sank and said, “The king will find out about this matter.”
“Then Mu Lan can move out of the Snow Tower.” Mu Lan seems not to dare to neglect, immediately turned around and ordered the lotus incense to clean up the shape. Seeing this,
Mu Hongyuan waved his big hand and said, “No, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let the slaves do it.”
This did not make Mulan overjoyed, but he straightened his spine and said, “Mulan thanked Dad.”
“Get up.” Mu Hongyuan then let Mu Lan get up. After
Mu Lan nods to signal, just stood up, also not anxious to leave, the lotus fragrance is already frightened not to dare to move. “Back to Wang Yeh,” said
the housekeeper, “the empress has already checked this out. It’s because the palace kitchen didn’t take good care of it. Although the cobra king is highly poisonous, it’s a top-grade winter tonic after being poisoned. It’s also an excellent medicinal material. It was intended for the old lady to eat, but I didn’t expect to disturb the young lady.”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows for the invisible.
This reason is perfect.
“The minion who made this incident has already been kicked out of the palace after being hit fifty times.” “And the young lady also has the heart,” said the housekeeper Chen without changing his face. “She made snake wine for the old lady, and the old lady was very happy.”
Mu Hongyuan nodded, and then looked at Mu Lan: “Lan has a heart.”
“It was the adoptive parents who taught me well to go back to my father.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly. The tension that
had been on the verge of breaking out eased in an instant. Mu Hongyuan’s dissatisfaction with Mu Lan also turned mild.
Chen butler is looking at secretly surprised.
This is also in addition to the late princess, the first person who can make Mu Hongyuan completely change his attitude, but did not expect that this person would be Mu Lan who was expelled from the palace by Mu Hongyuan. The weather is going to change in
Mu Wangfu.
At that moment, a gentle and refined voice suddenly said, “The king is telling me where Lord Mu is going. So it’s here.” When
Mu Hongyuan heard the voice, he turned around and said, “I have seen the four princes.”
“You’re welcome, Lord Mu.” Li Shi-yu smiled faintly and motioned to Mu Hung-yuan to get up. “My father should have come to the banquet in Mu’s palace in person, but my father was ill during this time, and the prince was in charge of government affairs, so it was only then that the king and his third brother came together.”
Mu Hung-yuan responded with a smile: “The four princes and the three princes have come to bring splendor to Mu’s palace.”
Li Shiyu smiled, the eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Mu Lan, Mu Lan was a little surprised, did not expect Mu Wangfu’s family banquet actually saw Li Shiyu.
In the memory of the last life, Li Shiyu did not appear so frequently in Mu Wang Fu.
After all, Li Shiyu and Mu Zhanxiao have always been unknown to outsiders.
But Li Shiyi appeared in Mu Lan’s memory.
Because Li Shiyi has always been a princeling, and Li Shiyuan stands on the same line, if Li Shiyuan is not free, Li Shiyi will appear instead of Li Shiyuan.
But this Li Shiyu and Li Shiyi appear at the same time, lets the human feel puzzling many.
But Mu Lan didn’t think much about it. Blessed,
she paid her respects: “Mu Lan has seen the four princes.”
“Get up.” Li Shiyu’s tone was calm, as if he had never known Mu Lan.
Mu Lan got up.
Also at the moment when Mu Lan got up, Li Shiyi also appeared on the edge of the Snow Tower. Seeing the excitement here, Li Shiyi came in and saw the first sight of Mu Lan.
“Lord Mu, you’re really hiding people. The king has never seen this young lady before.” Li Shiyi’s tone is a little frivolous.
Mu Lan for the invisible twist eyebrow, the bottom of the eyebrow flashed a trace of impatience.
Li Shiyi and Li Shiyuan are the same type of people, both greedy for beauty, if they are missed, it is not necessarily a good thing, but today this picture is also somewhat beyond Mu Lan’s expectations, otherwise Mu Lan will not choose to do this kind of thing at such a time.
But now Mu Lan has no way out.
“This is the king’s own daughter, Mulan.” Mu Hung-yuan didn’t hide anything, but explained, “I haven’t been in the mansion since I was a child, so naturally it’s impossible for the three lords to see each other.”
“So?” Li Shi-yi’s expression became more and more ambiguous. “There are so many beautiful women in the Mu Mansion, and they really live up to their reputation. I’m afraid the threshold of the Mu Mansion is really going to be trampled by the people who propose marriage.”
Mu Hung-yuan was also somewhat pleased: “The Three Temples have gone wrong.”
Mu Lan never spoke and stood quietly in the corner.
In the battle to seize the throne, Mu Hongyuan’s attitude was somewhat ambiguous, until the last Mu Lan successfully married into the Crown Princess, Mu Hongyuan’s attitude became clear, stood on the side of Li Shiyu, helped Li Shiyu ascend the throne, but also personally buried Mu Lan’s life.
Mu Lan did not beg Mu Hongyuan, but Mu Hongyuan pushed Mu Lan away cruelly. The lives
of Fengqing Palace were confessed one by one.
Mu Lan naturally will not slow down because of Mu Hongyuan’s attitude, and there is any change in Mu Hongyuan, now Mu Hongyuan for Mu Lan, is just a chess piece to stand firm.
Mu Lan sneers in the heart for a while, to in front of such officialdom in hypocrisy, more and more appears to be bored up.
Suddenly, Li Shiyi walked in the direction of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan became alert in an instant.
But Mu Hongyuan did not stop him. Instead, he pushed the boat along and said, “Lan’er, take the four lords to the dining place.”
Mu Lan is disdainful, but on the surface he says quietly, “Yes.”
She knew that Mu Hongyuan did not agree to those who broke the palace to ask for marriage because Mu Hongyuan looked down on them, and Mu Hongyuan’s ambition had always been in the public. According
to Dazhou’s rule, officials above the fifth grade, who have daughters and have not yet been married, must be sent to the palace for a draft every three years. If you are
lucky, you will be favored by the present emperor, and the whole family will rise in the world.
Even if they are not favored by the emperor, they will be recognized as only one marriage, which is naturally either rich or noble.
And Mu Hongyuan’s background, naturally want to through this way, more stable their position, whether this person is today’s saint or prince, is a broad road.
So even if the threshold of Mu Wangfu was broken, Mu Hongyuan did not relax.
But now Li Shiyi expressed his interest in Mu Lan, Mu Hongyuan naturally will not miss such an opportunity, and Li Shiyi and the prince are in the same boat, the court is also well known.
Li Shiyi was not polite to go directly to Mu Lan’s side.
With Li Shiyi’s movements, Li Shiyu’s eyes are very light glanced, some meaningful, Mu Lan quiet under, suddenly very light smile.
This smile is not directed at Li Shiyi, but at Li Shiyu.
Her eyes raised, quietly looking at Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu did not open his mouth, as if waiting for Mu Lan to continue.
The four royal Highnesses will go together. Mulan was just taking the two Highnesses with him. Mu Lan eyebrow eyes with a bit of provocation. Can not
say why, knowing that doing so may cause trouble for themselves, but Mu Lan did not want to see Li Shiyu alone.
She hated the way Li Shiyu looked at herself, as if she were looking at her own jokes.
So, Mu Lan is dragging Li Shiyu into the water.
Li Shi-yu looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile, but said calmly, “Then there’s Miss Lao Mu.”
“I don’t deserve it.” Mu Lan nodded and then turned to look at Li Shiyi. “Your Highness, this way, please.”
On the contrary, Li Shiyi’s face changed, did not expect Li Shiyu to really follow up, but because of the face, Li Shiyi did not say anything, just a sneer, toward the front.
Mu Wangfu Li Shiyi is no stranger, where need to bring.
Mu Hongyuan’s meaning has been clear again, but Mu Lan does not know good or bad, but also killed Li Shiyu such a Cheng Yaojin. No one in the
palace knew that although Li Shiyu was the fourth royal Highness, he was assigned to the palace early and moved out of the palace. Li Shiyu had always been an idle person in the court, but he liked to keep women in the palace.
Today, the emperor is particularly dissatisfied with Li Shiyu.
But Li Shiyu lost his mother when he was young and grew up under the queen’s name. Today, the prince is the queen’s parent and child. The queen naturally wants to find a way for the prince. Li Shiyu’s character makes the queen less wary.
Therefore, although Li Shiyu did not have any reliable background of his mother and concubine, he was also at peace in the palace.
Naturally, this kind of peaceful, also let these princes to Li Shiyu lukewarm, we are just superficial harmony, because Li Shiyu never stand in line in the disputes in the court.
It’s like being completely indifferent to power.
For a long time, we really ignored Li Shiyu such a person, but in Li Shiyu’s house, Li Shiyuan still placed eyes, just in case.
But for so many years, Li Shiyu, as shown, was indifferent to the government. Although he did not party every night, he was also a typical playboy. Compared
with Li Shiyi’s dissatisfaction, Li Shiyu appeared to be much calmer, leisurely following behind the two.
Li Shiyi gets close to Mu Lan from time to time.
Said is nothing more than topic of showing off between men, enough to make women bow down, not to mention Li Shiyi such a noble identity.
Approaching the Hungry Ghost Festival, Mu Wangfu is also invited, Mu Hongyuan will take women in and out of the palace, not only to contact feelings, but also the best time for marriage.
And Li Shiyi asked such a question as Mu Lan.
In Li Shiyi’s view, Mu Lan did not grow up in Mu Wang Fu, but was sent outside, and now he came back out of the blue, for such a thing is bound to be excited.
As long as he can put some bait, Mulan will easily take the bait.
And before Mu Hongyuan’s attitude to Mu Lan, Li Shiyi also judged that it was not bad, plus Mu Lan’s own appearance, Li Shiyi moved his mind. Although
Mu Lan’s attitude was not cold, from time to time he would throw the question in front of Li Shiyu: “Your Highness, what do you think of the question that Your Highness said?”
Li Shih-yu looks calm on the surface, but out of the corner of his eye there is always a half-smile of banter. In the face of Mu Lan’s kicking of the ball, Li Shih-yu is neither too salty nor too light: “I think the third brother’s proposal is very good.”
Why don’t you bother Your Highness Si to talk to Mu Lan about what’s going on in the palace? Mu Lan is really curious, and is afraid that if he is not careful, he will offend someone. Mu Lan is naturally chatting with Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyi is somewhat dissatisfied.
But because of face, Li Shiyi is not good at opening his mouth.
Mu Lan is like an innocent person, not like both sides, or even at a loss, as if both sides do not take good care of, will offend people. “The third brother knows more about the situation in the palace than king,” said
Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and how can he really be dragged into the water by Mu Lan.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Shiyu without any trace, but he did not open his mouth immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and walked for a while. He abruptly refuted Li Shiyi’s face cleanly, but did not give Li Shiyi any chance to break out.
Eventually, the anger could only be swallowed.
But in the face of Mu Lan’s ignorance, Li Shiyi’s desire to conquer became more and more obvious. But Mu Lan is always calm.
Because of Li Shiyi, Mu Lan never saw it in his eyes.
It was not until the entrance of the antechamber that Mulan’s sweet voice came calmly: “Your Highness, Your Highness, the antechamber has arrived.” Suddenly Mu Lan thought of something and looked at Li Shiyi apologetically. “Your Highness, if you have a chance, Mu Lan will ask Your Highness for advice on the rules of the palace. Today is Mu Lan’s neglect. After all, Mu Lan has just arrived. He has never seen such a scene before. Please forgive him.” Between
the lines, advance and retreat properly, this crime also bear down, the words of apology also said, after ignoring Li Shiyi, or gave Li Shiyi some thin face. Only then did
Li Shiyi ease his face and hum.
Then, Li Shiyi walked into the front hall.
Mu Lan stood where he was, motionless.
But behind Li Shiyu quietly, not impatient, after Li Shiyi walked into the front hall, he looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan at the moment when Li Shiyu looked over, he just nodded slightly without changing his face.
On this occasion, Mu Lan thought that Li Shiyu could not do anything too out of line.
After all, this is the location of the front hall, even if there is a screen, back and forth are slaves, not careful will fall into the eyes of people.
Li Shiyu quickly to hide their own strength, more impossible in such an occasion, and Li Shiyi openly challenge, after all, he is Li Shiyi’s favorite person.
In his previous life, Li Shiyu had never had any contact with himself.
Plus there is no shortage of beautiful women in Li Shiyu’s mansion, so why should we miss people like her? Invisibly, it will only make trouble for Li Shiyu.
As a result, Mu Lan was somewhat unexpected.
Li Shiyu suddenly took a step closer and approached Mu Lan directly. Mu Lan was alert for a moment.
But Mu Lan still stood quietly.
After all, in front of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan did not expose too much, now whether it is panic or wise and calm are inappropriate.
Keeping silent is the best policy.
Li Shiyu has been close to Mu Lan, two people are very close, Mu Lan can clearly smell the faint musk smell on this person, her eyes fall on the chest, suddenly some bad heart.
“Your Royal Highness.” Unexpectedly, Mulan took the initiative to open his mouth. “If Your Highness is stabbed in the chest again today, I don’t know if Your Highness will be able to leave as safe and sound as he did several times before.”
“How many times before?” Li Shiyu grasped the key point without haste.
Mu Lan was quiet, but some chagrin that he accidentally leaked, she revealed her identity to help Li Shiyu, but that night in the West Tower, how to say a few times.
But when asked by Li Shiyu, Mu Lan was not impatient: “When I saw His Highness Si, His Highness Si’s chest was already hurt. Being able to appear here safe and sound proves that His Highness Si had already escaped once before.” An airtight
answer.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan with a half-smile. “Mu Lan, do you want to drag Ben Wang into the water?”
“That’s not true.” “Compared with the Third Royal Highness, who is not familiar with each other, I would probably prefer to get close to the Fourth Royal Highness, who knows a little about each other. At least we can hold each other’s secrets, so it’s not easy to be calculated. After all, I don’t like to be calculated.”
Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.
Mu Lan is not impatient.
Li Shiyu did not retreat, nor did Mu Lan hide.
The two stood behind a screen. Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, and Mu Lan never avoided Li Shiyu’s eyes.
Suddenly, Li Shiyu’s hand clenched Mu Lan’s chin. Mu Lan was alert for a moment, and his voice was lowered with a hint of warning: “Your Highness, at least now I’m the one your Highness likes. If you touch me, aren’t you afraid that your Highness will vent his anger on you?”
You say that the king said in the palace of Prince Mu that you had seduced the king. Does anyone believe it? Or does anyone believe that the king has made a pass at you? Li Shiyu’s rhetorical question is neither salty nor light.
Mu Lan was silent and did not speak.
Because that corollary is the form.
Really make trouble, Chen Zhirong will spare no effort to embarrass themselves, will never help themselves, now Chen Zhirong has long hated himself.
And Li Shiyu this person, Mu Lan can not figure out, do not know what Li Shiyu in the end to do.
Soon, Mu Lan softened down, not flattering, but the soft words were particularly touching: “Mu Lan knows that he is wrong, but please forgive him.”
Although not a bit sincere, even some perfunctory, but polite and decent but do a particularly good job.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan for a while, and then he said lightly, “Mu Lan, I really want to know how many faces you have.”. A man who grew up outside all the year round has a sense of propriety that is not inferior to a man who was born in a palace. Li Shiyu did not say the
following words.
Mu Lan is not stupid, can hear Li Shiyu doubt his identity.
She was not afraid. She smiled and lowered her voice. “I’m curious, too. How many people in the palace know about this face of Your Highness?”
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows.
Mu Lan stood calmly.
Two people have opened the distance, many slaves walk around the periphery, occasionally curious to look at, and then see the identity of the two people, the slaves immediately bow their heads, hurried past, who dare not say a word more. Between
the two, there was a strange atmosphere.
Until Mulan broke the silence: “Your Highness, please come in. If you stay here for a long time, if you are misunderstood, it will be bad for Your Highness.”
“Not to damage your reputation?” Li Shi-yu, on the other hand, asked directly in reply, “Are you worried that the third brother will know that you can’t achieve your goal?”
“Ha ha,” said Mu Lanpi with a smile. “Your Highness, I still don’t like it.”
Mu Lan’s tone is almost arrogant, but in such an arrogant but with confidence, there is no sense of any joke.
Li Shiyu’s eyes sank, but when they fell on Mu Lan, they had a deep meaning. But
Mu Lan was very calm and collected his thoughts: “Why, or is Your Highness also interested in me?”? I don’t know what I’m doing at the Prince’s Mansion, and I’m really not a good choice.
Li Shiyu did not open his mouth.
And the people invited by Mu Hongyuan have come one after another, and everyone is coming in the direction of the front hall, but this is not a suitable place to stay.
Mu Lan looked at the people who came one after another, and did not intend to continue to entangle with Li Shiyu. She said, “Your Highness, I have sent you here. I will retire first.”
At this time, Mu Lan became the indifferent Mu Lan, and opened the distance between Li Shiyu and himself.
When Mu Lan turned around, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “If the third brother likes someone, he will get it.”
This is Li Shiyu reminding Mu Lan.
Mulan was calm, but she didn’t turn around. “Thank you for reminding me. Mulan knows.”
Then, Mu Lan calmly left, and did not stay more, Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan left the figure, and then took back his eyes, calm and calm and side of the people said hello, this is calmly toward the front hall.
As if nothing had happened before, it did not attract any attention from Li Shiyi.
…… After
Mu Lan left, he was not in a hurry to go to the front hall, waiting patiently with the lotus fragrance, waiting for Wang Xueshuang to come, and then entering the front hall with Wang Xueshuang. On the one hand,
she had no mother, and on the other hand, she had no backing. Rushing in would not cause a sensation, but would only cause trouble. Following Wang Xueshuang, she was much safer. She could also tell the crowd clearly that she had at least one person in Mu’s palace.
But when he Xiang saw Mu Lan coming back, he couldn’t help saying, “Miss, your Highness has taken a fancy to you.”. If you can become the third princess, then in the mansion, even if the prince sees you, he will have to pay his respects, not to mention the imperial concubine. Mu Lan naturally knows
this truth.
Hexiang’s reaction is also normal.
Under such circumstances, Mu Lan can find a backer is naturally the best thing.
Mulan listened to Hexiang’s words, but calmly asked, “Why not the four royal Highnesses instead of the three royal Highnesses?” Although neither the
Third Royal Highness nor the Fourth Royal Highness has a concubine in the palace, the Fourth Royal Highness has a quick romance. There are many women in the palace, and if a young lady goes in, she will inevitably be jealous, and she may not be able to get a good deal. Besides, the Fourth Royal Highness is even less liked by the emperor. On the contrary, the Third Royal Highness and the Crown Prince stand on the same line, and they are equally favored by the emperor. Naturally, a wise man would choose the third Highness. Hexiang analyzed. It’s no secret that these are coming
soon.
Big Zhou Guo, as long as a little bit of common sense is very clear, even if do not understand the situation in the palace, but for Li Shiyu’s flower name outside, we still have heard.
Lotus fragrance can not see the essence, naturally can only give a simple judgment.
Mulan raised her eyebrows and looked at Hexiang. “Hexiang, you know that the world behind the palace wall is not as simple as you see. No matter which royal Highness you are, if you can stand to the end, you must have stepped on human blood.”
“Miss,” said Ho-hsiang with a shudder, “what you’re saying is too shocking.”
“All right, Grandmother is here.” Mu Lan did not continue.
She watched as Wang Hsueh-shuang, supported by Mammy Li and Mammy Kuei, walked over. Blessed, she paid her respects: “Granddaughter has seen Grandmother.”
“Get up.” Wang Xueshuang changed his clothes and put on makeup. Although he was ill, the whole person looked much better, but he still looked weak.
Mu Lan naturally approached Wang Hsueh-shuang and said, “Mammy Li, I’ll help Grandmother.”
Li Mammy nodded, very naturally abdicated, Wang Xueshuang also did not refuse, could not help but look at Mu Lan a few more eyes.
This wench is really born good-looking, even more beautiful than Luo Xue of that year.
In other words, this pair of eyebrows and eyes of Mu Lan is more agile than Luo Xue, hidden deep, not impatient, a little girl can have such a bearing, the future is boundless.
Wang Hsueh-shuang looked at her for a moment and then said, “Why is Lan waiting here and not going in?”
“For one thing, Lan’er didn’t have a mother to invite her back to her grandmother, and for another, she wasn’t familiar with the palace. If she went in so rashly, she was afraid that it would cause trouble for her father and grandmother. So Lan’er thought about it and decided it would be safer to wait here for her grandmother to go in with her.” Mu Lan is neither humble nor pushy.
This seems to be a pun.
She did not want to rush in and be asked for no reason. After all, the people who came to the house tonight were all dignitaries. If they were not careful, they would really offend many people. Before
Mu Lan is not absolutely sure, she will not easily put herself at risk.
Second, follow Wang Xueshuang in, Wang Xueshuang introduced his identity, far more convincing than his own mouth, but also occupy the commanding heights, do not give Chen Zhirong the opportunity to find their own trouble.
Every step, Mu Lan has calculated, absolutely will not allow oneself to make mistakes.
Step by step is the best policy.
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded with satisfaction. After a while, she continued: “Did your father go to Luoxue Lou?”.
“Father is here.” Mu Lan did not deny it.
“You haven’t seen each other for sixteen years. What did you say?” Wang Xueshuang was supported by Mulan, and the topics he asked seemed much more casual.
But there is a temptation in such a topic.
Mu Lan smiled and answered gracefully, “Maybe it was Lan Er’s face, which was similar to his mother’s, that reminded Dad of what had happened before. He chatted with Lan Er about what had happened before, and then Dad was busy greeting the guests.” The implication
is that Mu Hongyuan did not blame himself for falling in the snow building.
Wang Xueshuang was a little surprised. The first time I saw Mu Lan
here, Wang Xueshuang subconsciously thought that Mu Lan was reprimanded by Mu Hongyuan and came to appeal to herself. After all, she gave Mu Lan snow building.
But I didn’t expect it to be like this.
And Wang Xueshuang naturally guessed that Chen Zhirong had already blown the pillow wind, obviously, this time Chen Zhirong’s pillow wind was useless.
Do not know is Mu Lan’s appearance played a role, or Mu Lan this person is hidden, at least in this contest, the person who has the upper hand is Mu Lan.
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded: “From now on, I’ll live in Luoxue Building.”
“Lan thanked her grandmother.” Mu Lan is always neither humble nor pushy.
She helped Wang Xueshuang all the way to the direction of the front hall, approaching the front hall, Mu Lan saw Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua, two people have come leisurely, followed by other female dependents of the palace.
Mu Lan paid his respects. “Mu Lan has seen the imperial concubine.”
Chen Chih-jung obviously did not expect to see such a generous Mu Lan as if nothing had happened, but on the surface she had nothing to do, and said lightly, “Get up.”
“Hsieh Niangniang.” Mu Lan got up.
When Mu Zhihua saw Mu Lan’s appearance, he became more and more unwilling. Even if
she is a bright red water sleeve shirt, embroidery Seiko is particularly exquisite, even makeup is carefully tidied up, obviously in the crowd, she is the most shining star, but in front of Mu Lan, even if Mu Lan is wearing light clothes, but still easily overshadowed their own style.
Mu Zhihua gnashed his teeth with hatred.
Even his facial expression was a little ferocious.
Just because of the occasion, Mu Zhihua did not dare to attack.
But she still couldn’t help snorting coldly, and when Chen Zhirong’s eyes looked over, Mu Zhihua stopped.
Then a group of people walked towards the front hall. The guests in the
front hall had already taken their seats. Everyone was toasting and talking. Mu Hongyuan was in the middle of the host’s seat.
Mu Wang Fu has a painting of Mu Zhi, the first beauty in Kyoto, and everyone knows it.
But looking at the woman who came in with Wang Xueshuang, dressed in simple but elegant clothes, she grabbed everyone’s attention for the first time, and everyone could not help whispering.
Mu Lan always nodded gracefully, and under the introduction of Wang Xueshuang, he paid his respects to the people present one by one. Only
then did Wang Hsueh-shuang say, “I’d like to introduce you to you. This is Mu Lan, the first daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion. She just returned to the mansion not long ago, so some of the rules may not be very clear. Please forgive me.”
Wang Xueshuang opened his mouth, but the people present smiled and gave face.
But Mu Lan quietly waited for Wang Xueshuang to sit down, and then sat down on the edge of Wang Xueshuang, and the lotus fragrance stood behind Mu Lan. In
this arrangement, Mu Lan’s position is above Chen Zhirong, which makes Chen Zhirong hate to gnash his teeth, but because of the scene, he can only swallow such a dumb loss. The position beside
Wang Xueshuang has always been reserved for the imperial concubine.
So since the death of the imperial concubine, this position has always been empty, even Chen Zhirong, who now almost controls the affairs of Prince Mu’s mansion, does not have this right.
But now, with the acquiescence of Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan, Mu Lan is sitting in this seat.
The implication could not be more obvious. The first daughter of
Prince Mu’s mansion is back.
And the pattern of Mu Wang Fu will also change completely. The people
present can see clearly that under the power of Mu Hongyuan, many people have already chatted with Mu Lan.
Mu Lan is water to earth cover, soldiers to block, gentle and courteous.
No matter what the problem is, even if the needle is hidden in the cotton, Mu Lan is also able to deal with it, not to give Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang any trouble, nor will he plunge himself into it.
This scene, Wang Xueshuang saw in the eyes, could not help nodding, but also followed by more and more satisfied.
Chen Zhirong hates the tooth itch, suppresses this own mood unceasingly, only then did not erupt in public.
But Mu Lan could not keep this idea, but Chen Zhirong had never been so obvious.
But what Mu Lan noticed was not the sight of Wang Xueshuang and others, but Li Shiyu, who was sitting opposite him in the VIP seat.
This person looks at the eyes, but always with a bit of frivolity, like a smile, as if can always see through the camouflage of Mu Lan, so that Mu Lan is particularly uncomfortable.
But Mu Lan forced himself not to look at Li Shiyu.
It was not until Li Shiyu talked with the people around him that the scorching line of sight gradually dimmed.
A banquet, Mu Lan is just a legitimate identity, do not want to be more high-profile, so Mu Lan with Wang Xueshuang into the front hall, but low-key up, and Chen Zhirong’s greeting, as well as Mu Zhihua’s high-profile, Mu Lan almost put himself low-key to the dust.
Chen Zhirong, as the hostess of Mu Wangfu, leisurely toasted with Mu Hongyuan and visitors, showing the image of a princess incisively and vividly.
This is also Chen Zhirong’s way to clear his name.
Otherwise, in Mu Lan’s deliberate, the people present will subconsciously feel that the sovereignty of Mu Wang Fu should be changed.
The whole journey, Mu Lan did not eat much, most of the time in the dedicated service of Wang Xueshuang.
Last life, Mu Lan is almost desperate to please today’s queen, how difficult to serve the queen, that just accompany you like a tiger, carelessly directly to their own lives are explained out, so in those years, Mu Lan is really understand what is called observation.
Can appease the queen well, naturally Wang Xueshuang is no problem.
Even need not ask, needless to say, Mu Lan can accurately know what Wang Xueshuang likes, what kind of heat the dishes like, so the things sent to Wang Xueshuang have never been wrong. But
Wang Hsueh-shuang looks even more satisfied: “Lan’er really has a pure heart.”
“Grandmother praised it.” Mu Lan answered humbly, “It’s just that Lan Er looked at it a few more times and was lucky enough to guess right.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang smiled and said, “Mammy Li, in my opinion, this is a good reward.”
“Yes.” Mammy Li answered, “Miss, such an intelligent person, is a plastic talent.”. The old lady hasn’t found such a sweet person for a long time. Even a slave can’t keep up with a young lady’s thoughtfulness.
Li Mammy received the benefit of Mu Lan, plus has seen the means of Mu Lan, nature is to help Mu Lan speak.
“Go back and send my pair of jade Ruyi to Lan’er.” Wang Xueshuang is generous.
Mu Lan was a little surprised, but she didn’t refuse: “Lan thanked her grandmother for the gift.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded.
This pair of jade Ruyi is Wang Xueshuang’s favorite thing, but also the family heirloom of Mu Wangfu, has always been only given to the legitimate daughter or eldest daughter-in-law. This pair of jade Ruyi, one of which has been given to the late princess, after the death of Luo Xue, was buried with Luo Xue, which is also the meaning of Mu Hongyuan.
The other jade Ruyi is still in the hands of Wang Xueshuang.
Chen Zhirong these years, also waiting for Wang Xueshuang to give himself, as a result, Chen Zhirong did not wait for a long time, but Wang Xueshuang transferred to Mu Lan.
This also indirectly gave Mu Lan identity, but also clearly told himself, Mu Wang Fu everything, after all, is to return to the hands of the main room, not Chen Zhirong this side of the imperial concubine.
So when Chen Zhirong turned around, just heard such words, her face changed and changed, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes also became sinister, even the tone followed the cold down, but the surface appears gentle as water.
“Mu Lan is really awesome. He’s only been back for a few days, and he’s been able to make the old lady so happy that he’s given you all his favorite jade.” Chen Zhirong looks envious, but there are thorns in her words. As
Mu Lan listened, she smiled. “If you like it, Empress, why don’t I tell Grandmother and let her give it to you?”
“You..” Chen Zhirong’s face changed.
See Chen Zhirong change face, Mu Lan is still calm at Chen Zhirong provocative smile.
Chen Zhirong wanted to tear Mu Lan’s face.
Suddenly
Chen Zhirong was alert and leaned back, but Mu Lan took the initiative to approach Chen Zhirong, and they looked like a close mother and daughter, talking in a low voice.
But Chen Zhirong knows that things are not so simple.
Sure enough, Mu Lan’s voice was very low, sticking to Chen Zhirong’s ear, saying clearly word by word, but his attitude looked particularly undisciplined and lazy.
Empress, as long as you like it, I will take it away one by one. After all, it’s always been a very exciting thing to take people’s favor, eh? Mu Lan said with a sarcastic smile. The fist of
Chen Zhirong’s palm has been tightly clenched up, even the nails pinched into the skin, also completely do not feel. “Mulan
, do you think I will give you such a chance?”
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, but waited patiently for Chen Zhirong to go on.
“Don’t think you have the upper hand now. With the support of the old lady and the prince, you can do whatever you want. You are just an ant in my hands. When I can’t tolerate you, you will disappear easily.” Chen Zhirong’s voice pressed, almost jumping out from the depths of his throat, as if the next second could completely tear Mu Lan apart.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, remained calm, his eyes full of sarcasm, and he did not take Chen Chih-jung’s threat to heart: “Wait and see. Don’t let me down, Empress.”
The voice falls, Mu Lan has pulled away from Chen Zhirong.
For those who are disgusted, Mu Lan feels sick even if he is close to them.
Not to mention being close to Chen Zhirong for a long time.
Then, Mu Lan sat back as if nothing had happened, calmly waiting for Wang Xueshuang, plus from time to time someone came to chat, Mu Lan’s appropriate response, naturally in Wang Xueshuang’s heart and added a few points. Compared
with the delicate girl painted by Mu Zhi, in Wang Xueshuang’s opinion, Wang Fu wants a generous person like Mu Lan. Mu Lan, who has been sent out
since childhood, is really surprising and amazing.
In such a cup of light wine shadow, the people in the room talk and laugh, a plate of wine and food are constantly sent up, singing and dancing to promote peace is very lively.
Even in such a lively, Mu Lan has never relaxed, always vigilant.
Chen Zhirong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and did not expose his emotions because of Mu Lan’s provocation, but calmly deal with different groups of people.
On the contrary, Mu Zhihua couldn’t bear to look at it. Unwilling, he lowered his voice and said to Chen Zhirong, “Mother, how can you let this little bitch go like this?”! I don’t know what this little bitch is up to!
Chen Chih-jung’s face darkened. “Calm down a little. She won’t be able to dance for much longer.”
My brother is right. Mu Lan, this little bitch, shouldn’t come back. Come back is a scourge, Wangfu is restless by her, if it goes on like this, maybe one day Mu Lan will lay hands on us. Look at what she has done step by step. Mu Zhihua gnashed his teeth. Compared
with Chen Zhirong’s calmness, Mu Zhihua is much more impatient.
Mu Zhihua’s calmness lies only in the fact that the situation is within his control, not now.
It seems that everything is completely out of control.
Mu Lan’s existence has become the biggest threat to Mu Zhihua.
This is also the first time that Mu Zhihua has been deprived of his glory in Mu Wangfu since he was born. The guests who linger in Mu Wangfu tonight only have Mu Lan in their eyes, and her Mu Zhihua has long been a thing of the past, and no one cares about it.
Even Li Shiyi, who usually follows Li Shiyuan, has a great interest in Mu Lan.
You know, before that, because of the relationship between Prince Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhihua, Li Shiyi flattered Mu Zhihua lot, but now, Li Shiyi has not even seen Mu Zhihua, his eyes are full of Mu Lan.
Mu Chih-hua was born to Chen Chih-jung. How could Chen Chih-jung not see what Mu Chih-hua was thinking? She warned coldly, “Don’t act on impulse. Mu Lan is waiting for you and me to come to your door. If you do something stupid again and get into trouble, don’t blame me for not helping you.”
“Mother!” Mu Zhihua stamped his feet angrily.
Chen Zhirong did not pay attention to Mu Zhihua, just looked at the warning Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua also knew that he had made those things before, has made Wang Xueshuang extremely dissatisfied, even if he did not name himself, but Wang Xueshuang’s wisdom, how can not guess the cause of the king cobra.
Therefore, even if Mu Zhihua is not reconciled, it is also quiet down. Are you ready,
Miss? The musicians are always waiting for your orders. Mu Zhihua’s maid, Fennel, asked in a low voice.
“All right, you get the musicians ready, and I’ll get ready.” When Mu Zhihua came to his senses, the gloom in his eyebrows and eyes was swept away, and there was a trace of pride.
Fennel respectfully took the order and left.
And Mu Zhihua also quietly got up.
Mu Lan looked at the direction of Mu Zhihua’s departure and quieted down, but he did not say anything, and his low eyebrows and eyes hid a deep meaning.
Mu Zhihua’s dancing skills are superb. Chen Zhirong tried her best to cultivate Mu Zhihua. All the best dancers in Dazhou were brought into the house by Chen Zhirong to teach Mu Zhihua.
When Mu Zhihua first entered the palace at the age of twelve, the song “Neon Clothes” shocked four people. Let all the dignitaries in Kyoto remember the dance of Mu Zhihua.
Even the dancers in the palace can’t be surpassed.
Even if your dancing skills are better than yours, you don’t have the status and temperament of Mu Zhihua.
So every time Mu Wangfu held a banquet, Mu Zhihua’s dancing skills became the most anticipated scene for all the people present.
In the previous life, Mu Zhihua also used his dancing skills to humiliate Mu Lan, so that Mu Lan lost face in front of everyone, so that Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang lost face, and naturally the attitude towards Mu Lan became worse and worse. Mu Lan in the
previous life could not shake the status of Mu Zhi’s paintings at all.
Even Mu Zhihua did so clearly, but Mu Lan still foolishly believed Mu Zhihua’s sweet words, felt that Mu Zhihua was innocent, and even devoted himself to learning dance with Mu Zhihua.
But in this life, Mu Lan suddenly felt that the only thing Mu Zhihua had done right was to teach himself to dance.
Mu Lan is not stupid. Good command of
all the skills.
Even Mu Lan is gifted and intelligent, as long as a little mention, it will soon be able to surpass Mu Zhihua.
Mu Zhihua is not unable to see, but she will use the way of hidden needles, a little bit of a blow to your self-confidence, so that Mu Lan eventually as long as the face of the crowd, will no longer be able to dance a complete dance, but just a joke.
Mu Zhihua will not give Mu Lan a chance to surpass himself.
But Mu Zhihua will never know is that the last generation of Mu Lan, in order to please Prince Li Shiyuan, even though every failure, but never give up.
That kind of unforgettable learning, to this life, is the best time to blossom.
She sat in silence, listening to the musician playing the instrument, the music came slowly, the original lively room was quiet in an instant, everyone’s eyes were expectant, looking at the direction of the entrance.
Soon, Mu Zhihua stepped on the rhythm of the sense of music and entered leisurely. The
dance is still her famous song “Neon Clothes”, and the people present are never tired of watching it. Mu Zhihua is born to be a beauty, and with her deliberate dress, her eyes and feet are enough to make people palpitate.
Mu Hongyuan couldn’t help clapping along with the beat.
Wang Xueshuang looked appreciative and nodded from time to time. The people
present looked at Mu Zhihua’s enchanting figure and could not help but fantasize.
When the music fell, surrounded by thunderous applause, bursts of applause, Mu Zhihua is a blessing, this Jiao Chen stood behind Chen Zhirong.
In the face of such praise, Mu Zhihua still appears to be much more modest, and naturally won a lot of favor. The eyes of attention
in the room once again returned to Mu Zhihua’s body.
Mu Zhi thrush eyes can not help but flash a trace of pride.
Mu Lan is always calm, sitting motionless, but occasionally falls on Mu Zhihua’s eyes, with a trace of hypocrisy and perfunctory.
Suddenly, Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Lan and said, “Sister, would you like to dance a song to cheer up your father?”
Mu Zhihua easily threw the olive branch in front of Mu Lan and forced Mu Lan to take it.
“Lord Mu, Miss Chih-hua’s dancing skills are superb, and I think the daughter of Prince Mu’s wife is even better. You say that’s not the reason.”
Exactly. I saw that when Miss Mu came in, she had a graceful figure and a leisurely step. Even if she couldn’t compare with Miss Chih-hua, she shouldn’t be inferior.
……
And Mu Zhihua listened to these noises, can not help but raise eyebrows, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes more and more proud and provocative up.
But Mu Lan is always calm.
But Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan’s line of sight also fell on Mu Lan’s body, finally is Mu Hongyuan opens the mouth: “Can Lan son dance?”
This on the surface is to give Mu Lan face, but Mu Lan is very clear, if he can not go, then in Mu Hongyuan this just in the firm foothold, will soon be shaky up.
After all, this also makes Mu Hongyuan lose face.
Wang Xueshuang also looked at Mu Lan, eyebrows can not help but twist up, Mu Lan is to follow their own in, but also their own introduction of the identity of Mu Lan, if Mu Lan lose face, the final right or the face of Mu Wangfu. Although
Gu Fu is not short of Mu Lan to eat and drink, but Gu Fu did not teach Mu Lan these skills. Seeing this,
Chen Chih-jung said with a faint smile, “Wang Yeh, this Lan’er has just come back. Maybe I haven’t seen anything like this before. Why don’t we let Lan’er dance next time?”
This seems to ease the embarrassment of Mu Lan.
But the essence is to push Mu Lan abruptly out, clearly told the people present, Mu Lan is a person who can’t do anything.
Mu Lan along with Chen Zhirong’s words, the eye light very calmly fell on Chen Zhirong’s body, seems to smile.
Such a smile, see Chen Zhirong heart a tight, that eyebrows are followed by a twist up.
Obviously is a little girl, but such momentum can not be pressed through the past.
Chen Chih-jung’s painting style changes: “In fact, Lan’er is hiding something. If that’s the case, it’s better to show it in a big way, so as not to make the people present wait.” After waiting for Chen Chih-jung to finish,
Mu Lan stood up gracefully, blushing at the people present without changing his complexion: “Then I would rather be respectful than obedient.”. If you don’t dance well, everyone here will forgive you.
With that, Mu Lan walked out of his position gracefully.
Chen Zhirong’s face flashed a trace of surprise, Mu Zhihua originally also appeared to be proud of the face also changed, they looked at each other, unexpectedly can not guess the practice of Mu Lan.
And Mu Lan was already standing in the middle of the dance floor, looking at the musician not far away: “Can you play Snow Girl?” As soon as the
words came out, the scene was in an uproar. So far,
“Snow Girl” is not only the most difficult music for musicians to play, but also a dancer who has not tried it, but there is only one person in Dazhou who can dance “Snow Girl” superbly, that is, the late Rong Fei. She is also the mother and concubine of the four royal families today.
Rong Fei was a song “Snow Girl” conquered today’s emperor, from the folk was brought into the palace directly conferred the title of imperial concubine, but the beauty was unlucky, soon after giving birth to Li Shiyu, she died.
The song “Snow Girl” also became Dazhou’s swan song.
And those dancers who try to try, when they jump out of Snow Girl, seem amazing, but they lack some flavor, which makes people feel a little chicken ribs.
But Mu Lan raved about dancing “Snow Girl”.
This, the presence of the villain can not help whispering, even Mu Hongyuan’s eyes have become surprised up, Wang Xueshuang is looking at Mu Lan with a bit of shock.
Only Mu Lan’s face did not change. Li Shiyu, who was sitting
in the guest seat, also looked at Mu Lan for the first time after entering the room, and his eyes became sharp. When it
fell on Mu Lan, there was no shelter at all, and it was naked.
And Mu Lan noticed, looked at Li Shiyu frivolously, but soon withdrew his line of sight, as if he looked at that one without a trace.
She waited patiently for the musician’s reply.
But Mu Chih-hua came to his senses and snorted coldly, “Niang, how could a rough woman like Mu Lan dance Snow Girl? I guess she also knew that Snow Girl was difficult to play, so she deliberately made things difficult for the musicians.”. But it never occurred to her that the musicians at Prince Mu’s Mansion were best at Snow Girl.
The tone was full of schadenfreude, and it was clear that we were waiting to see the good play. Compared
with Mu Zhihua’s schadenfreude, Chen Zhirong is quiet, it is an instinctive intuition, Mu Lan will not do anything unprepared, but for so many years, no one can really jump out of Snow Girl, so this is.
And the musician has already replied respectfully: “Miss Hui’s words, the slave is not lucky, just playing.”
“Then there will be labor.” Mu Lan nodded politely.
After that, she looked at the people present and said, “Everyone, because of the impromptu idea, Mu Lan didn’t have time to prepare carefully. If you don’t dance well, please forgive me and leave some thin noodles for Mu Lan.”
The voice fell, Mu Lan nodded, and the musician’s music sounded.
Mu Lan a step on the spot, with the music raised, obviously no sleeves, but abruptly let the wide sleeves dance out of the feeling of agility. The
delicate facial features are only covered with light makeup, but they have the enchanting and bewitching appearance of the snow girl.
The house turned into a vast expanse of snow.
A light pink blue, even more unique.
Do not look at the waist of Yingying’s grip, rotating and beating, light steps like a deer galloping on the snow, bright eyes and white teeth, a look back, falling is palpitating.
If the people in the house were still waiting to see the joke before, it was silent now. Compared
with Mu Zhihua’s dance of “Neon Clothes”, the people at the scene completely became fixated, and with Mu Lan’s dancing posture, they seemed to fall into the joys and sorrows of the snow girl’s life.
Even Li Shiyu’s eyes are with Mu Lan, not a moment.
Mu Hongyuan and Wang Xueshuang also appeared surprised, apparently did not expect Mu Lan in such a matter can give them such a big surprise.
Instead, Chen Zhirong twisted her eyebrows, apparently unable to believe what she had seen.
And Mu Zhihua’s jealousy has been shown on his face without concealment.
She wanted to make a fool of Mulan, but Mulan completely took the limelight.
Mu Zhihua’s dancing posture is superb again, dancing all the year round is “Neon Clothes”, which will also make people bored, and the natural effect is far less than Mu Lan’s.
The original limelight was abruptly snatched back by Mu Lan, and there was no room for any backhand. How can
Mu Zhihua not hate. As the
musician’s music falls, Mulan precisely returns to the position of the first falling beat, breathing slightly. She quickly adjusts her breath and blesses her body: “Mulan has made a fool of herself.”
But the room was still silent, and for a long time it was impossible to recover from this dance, until Li Shi-yu took the lead and clapped his hands: “Miss Mu really made Ben Wang sit up and take notice.” The people
around him came to their senses and applauded for a long time.
Even Mu Hung-yuan couldn’t help exclaiming: “Lan’er really surprised Ben Wang.”
Mu Lan smiled and said, “Dad has praised me.”
“Give a big reward.” Mu Hongyuan nodded repeatedly and immediately turned around and ordered the steward Chen, “Whatever the young lady wants, you can prepare for the young lady. This is the meaning of the king. Lan’er is the daughter of the king. Naturally, she can cross everything without reporting again.”
“Yes.” Chen butler also just came to his senses and answered respectfully.
Hearing this, Chen Zhirong’s face changed, which meant that Mu Lan had gradually begun to seize power from his own hands. The entry and exit of the palace had to pass through Chen Zhirong’s hands at first.
But Mu Lan doesn’t need it.
Mu Zhihua where can allow Mu Lan so proud, want to also do not want to blurt out, but the first time was stopped by Chen Zhirong.
Mu Zhihua looked at Chen Zhirong, and finally in Chen Zhirong’s eyes, she gradually quieted down.
Mu Lan became the focus of attention.
Chen Chih-jung calmly picked up the glass on the table and walked up to Mu Lan: “Lan Er, this is really amazing to me. This glass of wine is my celebration of Lan Er’s victory.”
That doesn’t sound unusual.
Mu Lan lifted her eyelids and looked at Chen Chih-jung. “Mu Lan doesn’t deserve it.”
And Chen Zhirong has raised his glass to look at Mu Lan.
