Enemies Meet
Phoenix Nirvana: The Path
to Glory and Favor of the Demon Queen of the Confused Country And the prince and the four princes have come, so naturally it’s impossible to do this. Chen Zhirong looks at Mu Lan and sneers: “Mu Lan, you’re lucky today. You’re locked up in the Snow Tower. You’re not allowed to come out.”
Mu Lan calmly looked at Chen Chih-jung and said, “If I broke the rules by leaving the house in private, then I’ve already been pardoned by my grandmother in the house, and no one is allowed to interfere with my behavior. Now the empress is openly challenging my grandmother?”
“You..” Chen Zhirong was criticized and couldn’t say a word.
“Of course I can go to confinement, but when my grandmother comes back tomorrow, I’ll naturally ask someone to name her. After all, it’s my fault that I didn’t go to pay my respects.” Mu Lan said the words coolly. The
threat could not be more obvious.
Even Mu Lan brought up the matter of the day: “When I went out of the house without permission, I would naturally apologize to my grandmother. Whether she was beaten or punished, Mu Lan would accept her fate.”
The implication is clear to tell Chen Zhirong, today she wants to torture in private, Mu Lan will not be so willing to give up.
Chen Zhirong’s face is getting heavier and heavier.
Chen butler did not dare to breathe, stood, lowered his head, did not speak, but out of the corner of his eye swept to Mu Lan.
Mu Zhihua was anxious and shy. “Mother, the prince is coming. Let’s go out first. Aren’t there many opportunities in Mu’s palace?”? Can’t you say you’re a little bitch?
Chen Zhirong listened to Mu Zhihua’s words, and his face softened for a moment.
Indeed, in the palace, can find too many opportunities, want to let a person disappear from the palace, the easiest thing, she was able to send away Luo Xue, the same can send away Mu Lan.
But Mu Zhihua and Chen Zhirong are quite different.
She and the prince for a long time, the prince’s natural understanding of the clear, the prince good beauty, can rush to Mu Wangfu at this point, is bound to be heard of Mu Lan.
I’m afraid today, Mu Lan is the main reason for the prince to come. How could
Mu Zhihua let Mu Lan succeed, and how could he let the prince see Mu Lan.
But now, even the rumors of Kyoto’s first beauty of Mu Zhihua, in front of Mu Lan, also become less confident and more panic.
Therefore, to prevent Mu Lan and Li Shiyuan to meet, is the best policy.
Mu Zhihua looked coldly at the side of the bodyguard, the implication is to let the bodyguard follow Mu Lan, do not allow Mu Lan to appear in the front hall, the bodyguard naturally understand the meaning of Mu Zhihua.
After that, Mu Zhihua followed Mu Lan and hurried out of the house to prepare for Li Shiyuan and the four princes.
After the two men left, Mu Lan stood up slowly and glanced lightly at the people in the room. The people in the room immediately looked at their noses and mouths, and dared not say a word. Only then did butler
Chen carefully step forward and say, “Young lady, I’ll see you back to the Snow Tower.”
Mulan murmured, “There’s a butler, Lao Chen.” When
the bodyguard saw Mu Lan walking in the direction of the Snow Tower, he was relieved and immediately winked to let the people on the side report to Chen Zhirong.
Mu Lan is not impatient, leisurely toward the landing snow building.
He Xiang followed closely.
“Young lady, be more careful in the future.” When the housekeeper Chen reached the Snow Tower, he quietly said, “Today’s luck doesn’t come every time.”
“Thank you, butler Chen, for reminding me.” “I’ll be careful,” motioned Mulan, nodding his head.
Chen butler said no more.
But looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, Chen butler always felt that Mu Lan seemed to have a plan for everything, even today, in the face of such a battle, Mu Lan is not impatient.
But this, Chen butler did not ask the export, respectfully retreated to one side.
Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance back to Luoxuelou.
Mingyue and Qingfeng came up head-on, and even Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, who had always been cold-faced, were not nervous and looked at Mulan. After confirming that Mulan was all right, they returned to their positions and did not ask much.
“Miss, it’s great that you’re all right to come back.” The moon opens her mouth.
Mulan smiled. “Nothing will happen.”
Qingfeng immediately said, “The maidservant is going to prepare food for the young lady.”
“Good.” Mu Lan smiled.
Mu Lan in eating this point, but not against Chen Zhirong, not afraid of Chen Zhirong to poison themselves, because Mu Lan is very clear about his constitution, from an early age appears to be weak and sick, Gu yuanzhi to take good care of his body, with a lot of precious medicinal materials.
Including fighting poison with poison.
So Chen Zhirong can get those poisons, Mu Lan does not need to try, no matter what taste, can easily taste out.
Such a small skill of carving insects is of no use here in Mulan, and naturally she will not guard against it.
The moon and the breeze quickly withdrew. He Xiang stepped forward and closed the door. Then he said, “Miss, aren’t you going out?”
“Why are you going out?” Mu Lan asked Hexiang.
“Here comes the prince.” He Xiang, on the other hand, said directly, “The prince is the future emperor, and the prince often comes and goes to the palace because of the second young lady.”. But the prince has never come in such a hurry. I’m afraid it was the young lady’s previous song Snow Girl that made the prince miss her.
“Then?” Mulan continued to ask quietly. As long as the
young lady goes out, the maidservant thinks that the beauty and dancing of the young lady can make the prince move. As long as the prince likes it, then it’s hard to say who will be the crown princess. If the young lady becomes the crown princess, the family of the side concubines will only be able to cling to the young lady, and will not embarrass the young lady everywhere.
He Xiang told Mu Lan truthfully what he thought. “Do you think the East Palace is where I belong?”
Mu Lan chuckled.
“Huh?” He Xiang was stupefied, but for a moment she couldn’t come to her senses. “Isn’t the East Palace good?”? All the unmarried women in Kyoto think about is that one day they will be able to enter the East Palace, and then they will have a lifetime of rich clothes and jade food, and be worshipped on their knees.
After thinking about it, Hexiang added, “It’s better than being in the palace.”. The maidservant is not stupid. The old lady and the prince seem to be helping the young lady, but when something really happens, the old lady and the prince are still on the side of the imperial concubine.
Mu Lan listened to Hexiang and looked at Hexiang quietly. Then he said, “Hexiang, people rely on mountains. Mountains will fall, and people can only rely on themselves.”. Everything in the palace is far from as simple as you think. Inside Prince Mu’s palace, every step is taken carefully, not to mention inside the palace with red walls and bricks.
“Miss, then you..” He Xiang was even more anxious. “You can’t let the old lady find too thick to point out a prince to you.”. The talent show is coming soon. If the daughter of an official above the fifth grade wants to take part in the show, those above the third grade have no right to marry on their own, not to mention you.
“There is another way out of the draft.” Mu Lan opened his mouth calmly.
He Xiang came to her senses and looked at Mu Lan in disbelief. “Miss, you are the legitimate daughter of Prince Mu’s mansion. How can you be a palace maid?”! Even a female official is inferior to others!
Mu Lan didn’t explain too much to Hexiang.
She felt free in her heart.
Draft, she will not let oneself choose, will not enter the palace for the imperial concubine, will not be accused of anyone’s imperial concubine, she wants to enter the palace justifiably, step by step to the most hated person in front of, from now on uproot.
And Mu Lan also understood that Li Shiyuan could be the prince and stand firm, not simply the son of the queen, Li Shiyuan naturally had two brushes.
The love of beauty does not mean that you will have no scruples.
Now anxious to paste up, is nothing more than same fate as the previous life, Li Shiyuan will never cherish what he gets, only think, can not get, will become impatient and serious.
What Mu Lan wants is that Li Shiyuan falls in love with himself, and the sins he suffered in his last life will be reported one by one in the hands of Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhihua.
She has never forgotten how Mu Zhihua sent himself to Li Shiyuan step by step, and she also believed that Mu Zhihua’s sisters served the prince, which is the sum of the world.
Even, Mu Zhihua gave up the position of Crown Princess. Is
nothing more than to their own powers, can help Li Shiyuan shovel dissidents. Let their own flattery, let Li Shiyuan tired, after all, the last life of Mu Lan is a very boring person, and Mu Zhi painting of the hundred charming thousand Jiao, simply vulnerable.
If Mu Lan remembers correctly, the reason why Li Shiyuan married himself in the last life is that besides Mu Zhihua’s hands and feet, Li Shiyuan found out the relationship between Li Ruolan and the Li family.
This life, Mu Lan will not stop.
Entering the palace is only a gradual step, but it can not be too hasty.
But the lotus fragrance sees Mu Lan did not speak, also followed quiet down.
The moon and the breeze have also quickly sent to Mu Lan dinner, lotus fragrance results, to Mu Lan cloth dishes, Mu Lan is slowly eating, not impatient. When the sky
outside the window was sinking, Mu Lan got up after dinner.
Luoxuelou knew that Mu Lan liked to go out for a walk after dinner, but he didn’t stop him.
He Xiang naturally followed, but Mu Lan turned to look at him and said, “There’s no need to follow. I’ll just go out for a walk and come back soon.”
He Xiang nodded: “The young lady should pay attention to safety.”
“Yes.” Mu Lan smiled.
Then the footsteps of the lotus fragrance stopped, she looked at the figure of Mu Lan after all still some do not feel at ease, but the lotus fragrance is also very clear, Mu Lan seems to be able to save the day every time. In
such an idea, the lotus fragrance followed to put down the heart, this just turned around to return to the snow building to clean up.
Mu Lan didn’t go anywhere.
Instead, he went directly to the courtyard of Mu Zhihua.
At this time, Li Shiyuan must be in love in the courtyard of Mu Zhihua. Mu Lan knew that she had no intention of destroying it, but she wanted to find a reasonable reason to meet Li Shiyuan.
This meeting, compared with the previous life, seems to be much earlier.
To Mu Zhihua’s surprise, Li Shiyu appeared in Mu Wangfu again. Is
she bumping into Li Shiyu too often recently?
Mu Lan sank, ears have come a burst of sound of panting, the sky outside gradually sank, the candlelight inside the house has been lit, through the window paper, intertwined people become more and more emotional. Anyone who looks at
such a picture looks red in the face.
Only Mu Lan seems to be all right, standing motionless, low eyebrows and eyes hide a deep meaning, the whole person seems to be shrouded in a thin layer of fog, people can not see the most real reaction of Mu Lan at the moment.
“Why doesn’t the king know that Miss Mu still has the pleasure of peeping at other people’s sexual affairs?” Suddenly, a slightly playful voice came.
Mulan returned to his senses and looked at the man standing behind him. “I seem to have been seeing Your Highness very often recently.”
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan, but did not go on.
Mu Lan calmly turned around and said, “Your Highness’s voice is very good. If you take another step closer, you’ll reach the range of your Highness’s hearing. You’ll be knocked out, and you’ll be convicted of peeping together with Your Highness. I don’t think it’s a loss.”
Li Shiyu was thoroughly amused by Mu Lan’s words. Looking at Mu Lan walking toward him, he said slowly, “Mu Lan, don’t you want to lose anything?”
“It’s easy to die if you lose too much, so I don’t like to lose when I have a choice.” Mu Lan lightly expressed his meaning very clearly. When the
voice fell, Mu Lan was already standing in front of Li Shiyu. The
two men were not too close.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu’s bony hand pinching her chin. She still stood motionless: “What is your Highness doing?”
“Mu Lan, you said you were peeping at people making out here at night. Are you also restless?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
Mu Lan did not change her face because of Li Shiyu’s words. She looked at Li Shiyu with a half-smile and said, Your Highness 4 knows that I am peeping at people making out, and now he has come here specially to molest me? It seems that Your Royal Highness has a strong taste, too.
This made Li Shiyu laugh with complete anger.
Holding Mu Lan’s hand also loosened.
Phoenix eyes but always staring at Mu Lan did not loosen, Mu Lan will not than Li Shiyu’s eyes, two people standing in the corridor not far away, but tacit understanding and Mu Zhihua
just two people’s body shape is not close.
Mu Lan did not speak, in the unclear purpose of Li Shiyu’s appearance, Mu Lan chose silence, this is the best policy, appears to be the safest.
It was Li Shiyu who stood with his hands on his back. After looking at him for a moment, he suddenly said, “I remember you told me that your goal was the position of Crown Princess.”? Can’t wait to show up now?
“In the eyes of Your Highness, is Mulan such a brainless person?” Mu Lan asked without changing his face.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, then smiled, short laughter in the quiet night, it is particularly sexy, Mu Lan suddenly some trance, but only for a moment, she has collected all the emotions.
“It really doesn’t look like it.” Li Shi-yu gives a fair assessment, but his words gradually become sharper. “But you are sure that the prince will marry you instead of Mu Chih-hua?”.
“Your Highness has asked this question.” Mu Lan returned to the cold.
Li Shi-yu doesn’t mind either: “Old Mrs. Mu and the empress Dowager will come to befriend each other as soon as possible, and the concubines and the empress will come to befriend each other as soon as possible. Not to mention, the Mu family is an important official in three Dynasties, and they hold an important position in front of the father, so some things have already become a tacit understanding. After the Hungry Ghost Festival, the father will appoint the crown prince and Mu Zhihua.”
Mu Lan hum, as if listening to a story.
Some things are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface. A single action affects the whole body. Nor is it that you alone can easily change the present situation. Li Shi-yu said lightly, “The old lady won’t allow this marriage to go away. Otherwise, why do you think those who have broken the threshold of the Mu family for so many years have returned without success?” As
he spoke, Li Shiyu quieted down: “There is no shortage of princes here who haven’t married their concubines.”
The implication is that the marriage of Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhihua is a sure thing and can not be changed.
It was not until Li Shiyu’s voice fell that Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Your Highness, how can you easily know the result of something that no one has ever fought for?”
The words were somewhat ungrateful, but Li Shiyu could not speak.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s eyes more heavy a few minutes, but hidden in the layers of mist under the Mu Lan but people can not see any clues. It is
impossible to hear that this is a bit sincere and a bit of a joke.
But Mu Lan, who was not afraid of death, looked at Li Shiyu and said, “Just like the four royal Highnesses, they have deliberately planned and arranged for so long. Can it be said that they will give up without even trying?”? Don’t you think it’s a pity?
This, Mu Lan did not pierce, but also in front of Li Shiyu said directly.
Li Shiyu’s eyes turned cold in an instant, and the gloom in the depths of his eyes almost completely engulfed Mu Lan in the next second, without giving Mu Lan any chance to think, Li Shiyu’s hand had already grabbed Mu Lan’s wrist.
Mu Lan stumbled and was brought to his arms by Li Shiyu.
When Mu Lan came to his senses, he still looked at Li Shiyu calmly. Li Shiyu’s voice was so deep and terrible that every word seemed to come from the depths of his throat: “Mu Lan, do you know what the result of these words is?”
“At most, it would be fatal.” Mu Lan’s face did not change color. “There are too many people who want to kill me. Do you still need one more royal Highness?”? Besides, is it true that your Highness has never had this idea?
“You..” Li Shiyu was angry for a while, but in the next second, he suddenly laughed.
Mu Lan still quietly looked at Li Shiyu, before Li Shiyu’s idea, Mu Lan did not have any action, in Mu Lan’s view, Li Shiyu and Li Shiyuan compared, more difficult to understand people’s hearts is not the latter, but the former.
In the last life, if she hadn’t destroyed Li Shiyu’s elite soldiers with her powers, Li Shiyuan would not have been able to break through under the heavy outflanking and finally killed Li Shiyu.
It seems that in her last life, she was also an implacable enemy of Li Shiyu.
But in this life, they can talk so calmly.
Suddenly
, when Mu Lan was meditating, Li Shiyu bent over and kissed him. He did not give Mu Lan any chance to think at all. Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu with some consternation. Such consternation made Li Shiyu feel very good.
Even though they were inside the gazebo, the minions would pass by at any time.
If such a picture is seen
Mu Lan back to God, such emotional fluctuations, expressionless looking at Li Shiyu, also did not respond to Li Shiyu’s kiss, as if such a kiss, for Mu Lan, painless.
In the end, it was Li Shiyu who loosened Mu Lan. Looking at Mu Lan’s motionless appearance
again, Li Shiyu’s eyes sank a little more: “Mu Lan, this king is more and more curious about what kind of person you are.”. You’re not afraid of frivolity, but you’re ambitious. Mu Lan, what do you want?
“I want the life of His Highness?” Mu Lan suddenly looked at Li Shiyu with a smile.
Li Shi-yu’s face does not change: “Then try it.”
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing.
And Li Shiyu also looked at Mu Lan: “Mu Lan, you got so many benefits from this king, don’t you have any expression?”? Do you still want the king’s life? What are the
benefits? It goes without saying.
It was Mu Lan who faced Li Shiyu’s question: “Could it be that the benefits I got from the Fourth Royal Highness were for nothing?”? I thought I had reached an agreement with my second brother, and that what I could get was also what his Highness wanted, wasn’t it?
“Mu Lan, do you know that if you become the Crown Princess, even if you take this evidence, you will not be able to live.” Li Shiyu sank down and looked at Mu Lan warningly.
The two men stood in the gazebo and looked like they were just talking in a low voice.
But no one knew that there was such a constant undercurrent in their hearts.
And Mu Lan smiled faintly, “Don’t bother to worry about your Highness.”. Whether Mu Lan lives or dies, in the whole world, only oneself can decide, no one can.
It is calm, firm and confident.
Such Mu Lan, see Li Shiyu some trance, too flirtatious, also too beautiful.
From that time after the family banquet of Prince Mu, what Li Shiyu thought of most often was the “Snow Girl” dancing in front of everyone, and every smile was enough to make people remember deeply. No matter which concubine
Li Shiyu was looking for, it was impossible for him to get Mu Lan out of his mind completely.
It is a man’s desire to conquer, in Mu Lan’s unruly, a little bit was lifted up, more and more uncontrollable.
Almost immediately, Li Shiyu blurted out: “Instead of waiting for a hopeless crown princess, why not choose a legitimate opportunity to be the fourth imperial concubine?”. You have a brain, which the king admires, Mulan. Don’t you think you have a better chance of winning?
It’s an attractive offer.
But Mulan did not waver. Instead, he said lightly, “Your Highness, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. I hope Your Highness understands what Mulan means.” The implication is
that Mu Lan has never been at ease with Li Shiyu.
Just as Li Shiyu has never been at ease with Mu Lan.
Two people in the confrontation again and again, each other, but the other side helpless, as if clinging, but also trying to get rid of the relationship with the other side.
Mu Lan will not take everything to block an unknown future.
Entering Yuwangfu proves that history has completely changed. Before Mu Lan’s wish was fulfilled, she would not and could not do such a thing.
This is the second time that Mu Lan has rejected Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and said, “Mu Lan, the king doesn’t like people who refuse again and again. Now the king wants to marry you. If one day you come to beg the king, the initiative will be out of your hands.”
Mu Lan smiled faintly: “Mu Lan thanks your Highness for reminding me.”
Li Shiyu’s eyes sank a little.
At the time of the game, Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhihua suddenly appeared. Mu Zhihua was shy behind Li Shiyuan. Although it was not as intimate as under the window paper, people with a discerning eye could see that their relationship was not simple.
Li Shiyuan is back to Mu Lan, and did not see Mu Lan’s appearance at first sight, only to see Li Shiyu and Mu Lan chat, which makes Li Shiyuan interested in picking eyebrows.
Want to know, can enter Li Shiyu eye, must be a stunning beauty.
What’s more, as a man, who does not love beauty.
Instead, Mu Zhihua recognized Mu Lan at a glance, and never thought that Mu Lan would be here, she thought that at least tonight, Mu Lan would stay in the snow building honestly.
And before and Li Shiyuan lingering, Li Shiyuan did not ask Mu Lan in bed, which woman would like to hear his man mention other women’s names in bed.
Not to mention, this woman is Mu Zhihua’s most hated. The fingernails of
Mu Zhihua’s hatred were pinched into the palm of his hand, but the surface was about to break his teeth and swallow the unhappiness back.
Instead, Li Shi-yu faced Li Shi-yuan, and without any trace, he pulled his eyes away from Mu Lan: “I’ve seen my second brother.”
Li Shiyuan nodded his head.
And Mu Lan had already turned around. Before Mu Lan could pay his respects, Li Shiyuan saw Mu Lan’s face. There was a flash of surprise in his eyebrows and eyes, but he didn’t show it on the surface. Instead, he asked, “This is..”
“My daughter Mu Lan, I have seen the prince.” Mulan Fu Fu body, lightly explained his identity.
Such a tone with calm, there is no meaning of flattery, even looking at Li Shiyuan’s eyes are not interested, calm without waves.
When Li Shiyuan saw such Mu Lan, he became interested.
Not to mention, Li Shiyuan rushed to Mu Wangfu tonight, the biggest purpose is to see Mu Lan, the person who can make the “Snow Girl” dance amazing.
But now see, even if Mu Lan is only a little makeup, but compared with Mu Zhi painting which looks like a delicate makeup in front of him, it is not inferior at all, and even with a trace of arrogance.
Such arrogance is the wing that men most want to break off.
And in the big week, see Li Shiyuan, no matter who, which is not servile, want to climb up the relationship with Li Shiyuan, but Mu Lan seems to have no feeling of his identity as a prince.
Li Shi-yuan raised his eyebrows and said, “The fourth brother is very familiar with Miss Mu.”
“Back to the second brother, I’ve seen him a few times, but I’m not familiar with him. I happened to meet him here, so I chatted with Miss Mu.” Li Shiyu put his attitude very lightly.
That look did not mean to look at Mu Lan at all.
These words made Li Shiyuan nod with satisfaction, and then he looked at Mu Zhihua as if inquiring: “Is this the legitimate daughter of Lord Mu?”
Mmm. It is my sister. Although Mu Zhihua is reluctant, he should answer such questions truthfully.
Li Shi-yuan smiled and said, Sure enough, the Mu family produces beautiful women. When Princess Mu was still alive, she could be called the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. Now when I see Miss Mu, it’s really extraordinary. It’s like Princess Mu is alive.
That’s a compliment.
Mu Zhihua listened to the face changed, where she could not hear Li Shiyuan’s interest in Mu Lan, but Mu Zhihua did not dare to make a mistake.
Everyone knows that Mu Zhihua’s ambition is the Crown Princess, but Mu Zhihua did not sit in this position one day, dare not take it lightly, after all, in this palace, nothing is impossible.
Not to mention, the person Mu Zhihua has to face is Mu Lan.
“Your Royal Highness, I’m flattered.” Mu Lan smiled and said calmly, “I’m still a far cry from my mother and concubine. Mu Lan is too young to learn from her.”
“The king thinks you’re on a par with Princess Mu.” Li Shiyuan praised Mu Lan in a fancy way.
Mu Lan smiled again and said, “Mu Lan doesn’t deserve to be the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. Mu Lan has just arrived here, and she doesn’t quite understand many of the rules.”. Compared to Miss Yee, it’s a far cry.
Advance and retreat properly, neither humble nor pushy, even in the face of praise, Mu Lan also appears calm, even taking into account the face of all the people present.
Li Shiyuan listened and laughed out loud, apparently particularly satisfied with Mu Lan.
Mu Lan also did not say anything more, quietly standing in place, Li Shiyu did not trace a look at Mu Lan, suddenly Li Shiyu understood.
Mu Lan is not interested in peeping at sex, but it is true to wait for Li Shiyuan to come out here. The best way is to
advance and retreat properly and to refuse and welcome.
Mu Lan is more than fierce, even every step is accurate.
Li Shiyu sank, but Li Shiyu in Mu Lan’s eyes can clearly perceive that she did not have any interest in Li Shiyuan, even with a trace of hatred.
Hatred?
That’s worth asking.
Since it is hate, why bother to take away the position of the Crown Princess from the hands of Mu Zhihua?
If Mu Lan becomes the Crown Princess, will she stay or not?
Li Shiyu quieted down and clenched his hand into a fist, but the surface was uneventful.
“Know the painting.” Li Shiyuan listened to Mu Lan’s words, but looked at Mu Zhihua. “Your sister is modest, and she is a talented person.”
Mu Chih-hua’s voice was soft, but his smile was hypocritical: “Well, my sister is very powerful. She has just returned home and her reputation has spread far and wide. She will be great in the future.”
It sounds like a compliment, but it’s a secret complaint. How could
Li Shiyuan not hear it.
But for Li Shiyuan, women are the seasoning of life, as long as they do not make too much trouble, the following people like how to make trouble, Li Shiyuan will never ask.
After all, in the palace, the fittest can survive.
Mu Zhihua in Li Shiyuan’s view, although beautiful, in bed, deep in his favor, but Mu Zhihua is the son of a concubine after all, in the absence of a choice, the best choice in Mu Wangfu is naturally Mu Zhihua, now more than one Mu Lan, a lot of things will have variables.
Only this, Li Shiyuan will not show on his face.
Besides, Li Shiyuan read countless people, how can not see Mu Lan is neither humble nor arrogant under the calm and intelligent, even a simple conversation, he can easily perceive, Mu Lan to their own indifference and sense of distance.
Li Shiyuan restrained his emotions and said, “Oh,” as if he were asking. Naturally,
Mu Chih-hua could not have filed a complaint in front of Li Shi-yu and Mu Chih-hua, but on the surface it seems that the sisters are in harmony: “Your Royal Highness, the elder sister has come back and is very fierce. Isn’t it because of the song Snow Girl that Chih-hua feels ashamed of himself?”.
“When the king returned to the palace, he had already heard a lot about Miss Mu.” Li Shi-yuan followed Mu Chih-hua’s words, “I wonder if Ben Wang would be lucky enough to see Miss Mu dance the Snow Girl in person?”
If it were an ordinary person, he would have agreed.
But Mu Lan is not an ordinary person, she calmly smiled: “If there is a chance, naturally can.”. It’s just that I can’t dance as well as the late Concubine Yung. When the time comes, please don’t laugh at the prince.
“Of course not.” Li Shiyuan answered with a smile.
Four people stand, but only Li Shiyuan and Mu Lan, two people have a chat, Li Shiyuan any question, Mu Lan can answer with ease, Li Shiyuan is more interested in Mu Lan.
Li Shiyu looked at the whole process coldly.
After waiting for a while, he said lightly, “Second Brother, my father asked you to come back and see him as soon as possible.”
“You see, I had a lot of fun chatting with Miss Mu, but I almost forgot my business. It’s time for my father to punish the king.” Li Shi-yuan answered with a smile, “Miss Mu, next time I have a chance, Ben Wang will have a good discussion with Miss Mu.”
Mu Lan smiled faintly: “Mu Lan doesn’t deserve it.”
Then Mu Chih-hua immediately said, “Your Highness, Chih-hua will see you out.”
Li Shiyuan did not refuse, but also knew that he was not suitable to stay in the palace of Prince Mu, so he strode out of the courtyard, let go of Mu Lan, some unwilling, but for Li Shiyuan, the future is long. After Li Shiyuan left,
Mu Lan turned around and was about to leave. But
Li Shiyu called Mu Lan lightly, “Mu Lan, are you hating the prince?”
Mu Lan was startled. Then he calmly said, “Your Highness, you want to hide.”. Mu Lan is a civilian girl. She doesn’t know the prince. How could she hate him?
Li Shiyu did not speak, but looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, but with a trace of behavior.
Mu Lan surface calm, but the heart is more and more irritable, it seems that in front of Li Shiyu, what emotions can not be hidden, obviously no one can see, why Li Shiyu can expose his mind every time.
For a long time, Li Shiyu chuckled and said, “Are you sure you want the crown princess?”
“Yes.” Mu Lan said directly.
“I don’t know what’s good for me.” Li Shiyu did not know whether to scold or tease.
Mu Lan didn’t care. “If it’s all right, Mu Lan will retire first. Your Highness, please help yourself.”
Even Mu Lan ignored Li Shiyu and walked quickly towards his courtyard. Anyway, for Mu Lan, tonight’s goal has been achieved, and it is meaningless to stay here more.
Mu Lan’s every step is very good, she can calculate Mu Zhihua will rely on his relationship with Li Shiyuan, to slander her.
But so what?
Under such circumstances, the more calm people are, the more they take the lead.
The more anxious a person is to jump, the more disgusting he is. What’s more, Li Shiyuan is now interested in himself, not Mu Zhihua. For Li Shiyuan,
Mu Zhihua has long been in the bag.
Li Shiyu looked at the direction of Mu Lan’s departure, his eyes were low, but he did not stop Mu Lan, watching Mu Lan leave from his own line of sight, and then Li Shiyu stepped up and walked
quickly towards the door of Mu Wang Fu.
At the corner of Prince Mu’s mansion, Mu Zhihua grabbed Li Shiyuan. Instead of his previous deference, he added a touch of a little woman’s coquetry: “Your Highness.”
“Is Zhihua jealous?” Where did Li Shiyuan not understand Mu Chih-hua’s idea? He reached out his hand and raised Mu Chih-hua’s chin. “Hmm?” On the contrary,
Mu Chih-hua felt a little uncomfortable being asked by Li Shi-yuan, but finally he said, “Your Highness, ever since you saw your sister, your eyes have been on her. How can you not be jealous?”
Li Shi-yuan laughs frivolously: “Do you know that painting has no confidence in itself?”
“Because my sister is so powerful.” Mu Chih-hua said innocently, “It’s only been half a month since I returned to the mansion, and I’ve already made the mansion full of chickens flying and dogs jumping. My mother and concubine are so angry with my sister that she can’t speak. Now my heart hurts.”. If you don’t believe me, your Highness, go back and ask the people in this house. Do you know if the painting is lying?
Li Shiyuan did not interrupt Mu Zhihua’s words and listened quietly.
When Mu Chih-hua saw that Li Shi-yuan had not interrupted, he became a little bolder and said, “Sister did it on purpose today.”. She also threatened Zhihua before, saying that she wanted to take back everything that Zhihua liked, saying that Mu Wangfu owed her. Your Highness, Chih-hua has suffered so many grievances during this time. Your Highness has not felt aggrieved for Chih-hua, but has become interested in his sister. How can Chih-hua not be jealous and angry?
Said, Mu Zhihua soft body close to Li Shiyuan.
She has always been a wise person, knowing that Li Shiyuan likes his body and face, so Mu Zhihua always cherishes his face and knows how to best please Li Shiyuan.
Sure enough, Li Shiyuan hit the wall in Mu Lan, but in the soft words of Mu Zhihua, he was coaxed very well all of a sudden.
He hugged Mu Zhihua, but his attitude was somewhat frivolous: “You see, didn’t the king come to Mu’s mansion to look for you as soon as he came back?”
Mu Zhihua smiled angrily and beat Li Shiyuan on the chest.
“If the king is really interested in Mulan, doesn’t he have to look for Mulan as soon as he gets to the mansion?” Li Shiyuan coaxed Mu Zhihua more than enough. “So, if you think too much about this king’s Zhihua, your position in this king’s heart will not change.”
Li Shiyuan said that his face did not change color.
Mu Zhihua was elated by coaxing. Looking at Li Shiyuan
again, the blame in his eyebrows and eyes has long disappeared, that is, a little woman’s charming state, looking at the appearance of the man he likes.
“Your Highness.” Mu Zhihua’s voice was softer, and his slender hand was on Li Shiyuan’s chest.
“When you are away, I miss you very much, and I want to accompany your Highness every day.” This tone of voice, crisp and numb to the bone. The implication could not be
clearer.
Li Shiyuan did not know the meaning of Mu Zhi’s painting.
He and Mu Zhihua’s marriage is almost a sure thing, before the draft, the emperor will issue a decree, and today the emperor looking for Li Shiyuan, is also for this matter.
So before Li Shiyuan would not perfunctory Mu Zhihua this problem, but now the emergence of Mu Lan, but let Li Shiyuan have other ideas.
He was reluctant to part with the Jieyu flower painted by Mu Zhi.
It’s just that Mu Zhihua has been with him for a long time, and after the freshness, he’s a little tired of it.
What’s more, Li Shiyuan is not stupid, those maidservants in Mu Wangfu, even if they are just playing, can also disappear silently in Mu Wangfu the next time they appear,
this is who moved hands and feet, Li Shiyuan where will not know.
It’s just that Li Shiyuan didn’t care.
But now
Li Shi-yuan has gathered his thoughts and is looking down at Mu Chih-hua: “What is Chih-hua worried about?”
Mu Zhihua became angry. This time, however,
Li Shiyuan did not let go of Mu Zhihua. He squeezed her hand and said, “Be good. Don’t let the fourth brother see the joke.”
The voice fell, Mu Zhihua also knew the warning in Li Shiyuan’s words, and then followed up honestly, standing on the side of Li Shiyuan.
And Li Shiyu’s figure has also appeared at the gate of the palace.
Mu Chih-hua was immediately blessed: “Chih-hua has seen the Four Highnesses.”
Li Shi-yu looked at Mu Chih-hua with a half-smile and then said, “I don’t deserve it. Miss Mu, please get up.” Then he looked at Li Shiyuan and said, “Second brother, can we go back to the palace?”
“Mmm.” Li Shiyuan answered.
Soon, the two men got into the soft sedan chair, and the carriage sped away in the direction of the palace.
Mu Zhihua looked at the carriage disappeared, then hurried back, toward the palace of Mu Wang, her expression has changed in an instant, from gentle as water to gloomy, she did not go anywhere, but went directly to Mu Lan’s snow building.
Along the way, Mu Zhihua with resentment, anyone can clearly feel. Even Mu Zhihua forgot Chen Zhirong’s warning and wanted to tear Mu Lan’s face for the first time.
As a result, Mu Chih-hua didn’t expect to be stopped by Hsiao-wu and Hsiao-qi as soon as she tried to enter Luoxue Lou: “Second young lady, the eldest young lady has already rested. If you have something to do, please come back tomorrow.”
Mu Zhihua has never suffered such a grievance.
In Mu Wang Fu, all people call her [Miss], and since Mu Lan came back, even this title has changed.
Mu Lan became a young lady.
And she became the second young lady. There are already three or six or nine grades
between the lines. They
are even the slaves in the palace of Prince Mu.
“How dare you speak to me in such a tone?” Mu Chih-hua could not bear to open his mouth, but his voice was still soft, as if he had endless grievances. “Do I have no right to speak in the palace now?”.
Xiao Wu solemnly replied to Mu Zhihua, “Please forgive me, Miss. This is what the eldest girl ordered. The slave is just following orders. Miss, don’t make things difficult for the slave.”
“You..” Mu Chih-hua takes a deep breath and says, “I must see Mu Lan today.”
Xiao Wu stood motionless, seemingly ignoring the meaning of Mu Zhi’s painting.
Mu Zhihua’s face was completely changed.
In the palace, Mu Zhihua’s image has been very good, gentle and courteous, this is the first time, Mu Zhihua does not want to hide his nature, but think of the next thing, Mu Zhihua dare not be so blatant.
Just when the atmosphere was completely deadlocked, suddenly he Xiang hurried out of the room and said, “Second Miss, please welcome the eldest Miss.”
Xiaowu saw that Hexiang had opened her mouth, so she made a concession.
Mu Zhihua’s face became more and more pale with anger.
She walked directly into the house, completely ignoring the meaning of the lotus incense, the lotus incense looked at the appearance of Mu Zhi painting, twisted eyebrows, quickly followed up. When
Mu Zhihua was making trouble outside, Mu Lan had already heard it.
Just Mu Lan is not impatient to wait for Mu Zhihua to make trouble for a while, this just let the lotus incense go out to put Mu Zhihua to come in, the lotus incense does not quite agree, for fear that Mu Zhihua will do something again, but Mu Lan’s order, the lotus incense can not but follow.
So since Mu Zhihua came in, Hexiang has been nervous and watching.
“Mulan, you are full of posture now.” Mu Zhihua questioned Mu Lan as soon as he entered the door.
Mu Lan smiled calmly and said, “Miss Yi, at this point, I’m going to have a rest. Naturally, Xiao Wu won’t let anyone come in and disturb my rest.”. Could it be that when Miss Yi is resting, she still wantonly lets people disturb her?
In a few words, Mu Lan blocked Mu Zhihua and had nothing to say.
But Mu Lan did not intend to let go of Mu Zhihua’s meaning: “However, Miss Yi and I are probably not the same. I can not see anyone, but Miss Yi can’t. After all, maybe the prince will come.”
“You..” Mu Zhihua’s face changed again and again.
Hexiang stood where she was, sullen, wanting to laugh, but unable to make a sound. Anyone who is not blind can see what happened to
Mu Zhihua and the present prince. Although Dazhou is not so closed and conservative, as a famous family, he has been unclean before marriage, and it is always shameful to spread it out.
It happened that this kind of thing, but was said by Mu Lan silently, but also so as if nothing had happened. How can
Mu Zhihua not change his face.
“What does Miss Yee want with me?” Mu Lan stood up lazily, not wearing a coat, only wearing a blouse, Yingying walked in the direction of Mu Zhihua.
Even if it is such a simple dress, the skin hidden under the tulle is as white as snow, and the waist of Yingying’s grip is swaying with the pace.
Not to mention men, even women feel excited when they see it.
Every step is just right, pinching their own advantages just right, charming but not gaudy.
It was not until Mu Lan stood still in front of Mu Zhihua that she lowered her voice with a half-smile and said softly to Mu Zhihua, “Did Miss Yi look at me?”? Miss Yi, remember, your goal is the Crown Princess, so you must strive to defend your position as Crown Princess.
Mu Zhihua’s face became more and more ugly.
But Mu Lan had already pulled away, pointing his fingertips in the direction of Mu Zhihua: “Mu Zhihua, take good care of your body, lest one day the prince doesn’t love you. After all, I’m curious about the prince’s woman. Who dares to marry her?”
……
The whole process, all the initiative in this matter is in the hands of Mu Lan, even did not give Mu Zhihua any chance to open his mouth, thoroughly put Mu Zhihua to suppress a word can not be said.
Mu Zhihua’s face can be called wonderful, changing and changing.
Some things, Mu Wangfu people can not not know, but we are very smart never said broken, but now Mu Lan naked moved to the table. How can
Mu Zhihua not hate.
Looking at Mu Lan’s face, delicate facial features, thinking of Li Shiyuan’s surprise when he saw Mu Lan, Mu Zhihua did not want to raise his hand, he would give Mu Lan a slap.
Mu Lan reacted so quickly that she didn’t give Mu Chi-hwa any chance at all. Her backhand had already clasped Mu Chi-hwa’s hand. Her previous teasing was gone, and there was a trace of coldness in her eyes: “Mu Chi-hwa, I don’t really like people touching me in front of me.”
Mu Zhihua’s hand was dragged by Mu Lan and could not move.
Obviously Mu Lan is very thin, but the strength is amazing, Mu Zhihua even has no room to struggle.
“This time it’s a warning. Next time it won’t be as simple as that.” Mu Lan’s voice fell, and Mu Zhihua clearly heard the sound of his wrist dislocated.
She screamed out in pain.
But Mu Lan, with an expressionless face, let go of Mu Zhihua’s hand: “He Xiang, see the second young lady out.”
“Yes.” He Xiang immediately stepped forward and said, “Second Miss, please come with me.”
Mu Zhihua’s face changed with pain. She couldn’t believe that Mu Lan dared to attack herself in the palace of Mu Wang. She waved away the lotus fragrance.
Hexiang staggered a step.
“Mu Chih-hua, the Hungry Ghost Festival is only a short time away, and the people in the palace are still waiting for you to dance. If you lose your hands, I’m afraid you’ll be guilty of deceiving the emperor.”
Her voice was calm, but the impatience with Mu Zhihua in her eyes had become more and more obvious.
Mu Zhihua gnashed his teeth and looked at Mu Lan: “I won’t let you go.”
Mu Lan smiled, but did not dispute with Mu Zhihua.
At that moment, the voice of the moon suddenly came from outside the door: “Miss, the imperial concubine is here.”
Mu Lan raises eyebrow, this is to come smoothly.
But think about it, Li Shiyuan has gone, but Mu Zhihua did not go back, Chen Zhirong naturally can think of their own here, this just hurried to come, plus today she escaped from the tiger’s mouth, Chen Zhirong is probably unwilling.
And I’m afraid Chen Zhirong is also worried about Mu Zhihua’s accident.
Mu Zhihua heard the voice of the moon, immediately toward the outside of the house, can not wait to and Chen Zhirong complaint, the wrist pain, tear heart crack lung, how her tears can not stop, a drop of falling down, more and more people feel distressed.
When Mu Chih-hua walked out of the room, Chen Chih-jung had already come in quickly. Seeing this picture, Chen Chih-jung’s face changed: “Chih-hua, what happened?”.
Mu Chih-hua wept, “Mother, my sister has broken my hand. This is a deliberate attempt to murder me. She wants to make Prince Mu’s palace bear the crime of deceiving the king. Mother, if my hand is broken, I can’t dance. You have to make decisions for me.”
Mu Zhihua cried sadly.
Chen Chih-jung immediately looked at Mu Chih-hua’s wrist, turned around, and ordered, “Hurry, let the doctor come to the house right away.”
The slaves did not dare to neglect and turned to call the doctor.
Only Mu Lan stood motionless, facing Mu Zhihua’s accusation, Mu Lan sneered, not even willing to take the initiative to explain, until Chen Zhirong looked at Mu Lan.
She did not want to give Mu Lan a slap in the face, Mu Lan is hard to accept this palm, looking at Chen Zhirong’s eyes but followed the cold down.
Chen Zhirong’s heartbeat is a little fast.
She thought of Mu Lan backhand, thought of Mu Lan resistance, Mu Lan can be merciless in the palace to dislocate Mu Zhihua’s wrist, not to mention a slap in the face to resist their own.
In this way, Chen Zhirong will be able to justifiably clean up Mulan.
As a result, Mu Lan received the slap without moving.
But Chen Chih-jung remained calm on the surface: “Mu Lan, do you know what you’ve done?”
“What do I know?” Mu Lan calmly looked at Chen Chih-jung, whose white skin was already covered with red fingerprints. I’m afraid it won’t go away in a few days. “Miss Yi rushed into my room without thinking, waving her hand and slapping me in the face. I just dodged. How do I know what happened to Miss Yi’s hand?”
Mu Lan’s voice was not light, and the housekeeper Chen and others who came to inquire heard it clearly.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward.
As a result, it’s all right now. I turn around and blame it on me. Even if I arrest someone, I’ll get all the stolen goods. Excuse me, where is the evidence? Who can prove that I did this? What’s more, in Luoxue Lou, Xiaowu can prove that Miss Yi came to me in anger, and Hexiang can prove that Miss Yi gave me an ear of light, which is all in my possession, so I don’t understand where the anger of the side imperial concubine came from.
“You..” Chen Zhirong was said plausibly by Mu Lan that there was no room for refutation.
Mu Chih-hua looked at Mu Lan with resentment: “Mu Lan, do you dare to do what you don’t deserve?” If
I dare to do it, I deserve it. It’s just that Miss Yi, first of all, has to prove that I did it. Mu Lan’s face did not change color. He looked at Mu Zhihua’s eyes with a sarcastic look on his face. “Ten thousand steps back, Miss Yi, do you think anyone will believe this?”? I’m the same age as you, but if I compare my figure with yours, you’ll have more charm for me. Can my strength dislocate your wrist? Then
Mu Lan stood, and his eyes fell on Chen Zhirong. “Empress, Mu Lan didn’t dodge. I was slapped by you because Mu Lan didn’t want to offend the empress and make her lose face.”. But Mu Lan’s inexplicable slap will surely be taken back in the future. I don’t like people to break ground on my head.
Mu Lan’s tone is humble, but the eyes are more and more fierce, in front of Chen Zhirong, there is no timidity, as if Mu Lan is the person who controls the overall situation.
“Good.” Chen Chih-jung sneered, “Mu Lan, you have a glib tongue. I’d like to see what you’re going to say when your father and grandmother come back tomorrow.”
“How can I explain to my father and grandmother? Why don’t the empress think about how to explain Mu Lan’s sudden blow in the face?” Mu Lan smiled calmly, completely ignoring Chen Zhirong’s threat.
Chen Zhirong knew that he had fallen into Mu Lan’s trap.
As Mu Lan said, Mu Zhi painting is really done by Mu Lan, no one in the whole palace will believe that a girl can have such a great strength under such a hand, besides, Mu Zhi painting initiative to find Mu Lan is also a fact.
Plus such a noisy, Mu Wangfu’s inside see clearly, the most important thing is, here their own people are not many, are Mu Lan’s people.
Chen Zhirong is untenable.
In addition, before Mu Zhihua made the king cobra thing, and his own ugliness at the family banquet, has been enough for Wang Xueshuang to think about.
Now there is another thing, plus now Wang Xueshuang’s love for Mu Lan, it is they who may suffer.
The most important thing is that the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming, after which Chen Zhirong is not allowed to make any mistakes.
And Mu Lan
Chen Zhirong sank, since now in the palace can not move Mu Lan, then she can find a legitimate reason to send Mu Lan out.
Leaving the palace, Mu Lan wanted to be disposed of silently, which was much easier.
Think of these, Chen Zhirong sneer, stood up, quickly walked out of the courtyard of Mu Lan, the doctor has come in a hurry, Mu Zhihua was taken away, resentful look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan turned a blind eye.
It was not until Chen Chih-jung and the others had left that Mu Lan said lightly, “All right, you all go and rest. You’re still watching the fun. Aren’t you afraid to turn around and make trouble for the imperial concubine?”
Mu Lan’s voice fell, and a line of talents became birds and beasts.
Mu Lan didn’t say much. Instead, Chen said, “Miss, I’ll find someone to take care of the wound on your face.”
“Housekeeper Chen, do you think it’s better to keep the wound or deal with it?” With a smile, Mu Lan asked the housekeeper Chen. House
keeper Chen was at a loss for words when asked by Mu Lan.
But between the lines of Mu Lan, Chen housekeeper has also understood, this injury is naturally good to stay, stay, Mu Lan need not say anything, tomorrow when the old lady comes back, will naturally take the initiative to ask.
Wang Xueshuang is such a wise man that he can know what happened with a little brain.
And the side imperial concubine one room also will certainly go to the complaint first.
And now the doctor in Mu Zhihua that, natural Chen Zhirong is absolutely impossible to let the doctor come to Mu Lan here.
The matter
sank, and the housekeeper answered cleverly, “Young lady, please rest first. The empress has already sent the doctor. When the time comes, let’s see if the empress is willing to let the doctor come.”
“Thank you.” Mu Lan laughs. “The Chen butler also rested earlier.”
“Miss Hsieh is concerned.” Housekeeper Chen bowed and left.
Mu Lan then turned and walked into the house. “Miss, why don’t you let the doctor come?”
He Xiang said nervously. “The concubine is so cruel that she may leave a scar.”
“Keep it.” “The scar is gone today,” Mu Lan said lightly. “Tomorrow there will be no more singing.”
“Miss?” As soon as the lotus fragrance was stunned, it was completely unknown.
Mu Lan, however, did not give much explanation. Instead, he ordered Hexiang in a low voice, “Grandmother will certainly be back in the mansion before midnight tomorrow. When the concubine goes to pay her respects, you can go ahead and say that I have a fever and it’s not appropriate to pay my respects to Grandmother.”
Hexiang was even more stupefied, but Hexiang didn’t ask much. She immediately answered, “The maidservant knows.”. But if the old lady asks, what will the maidservant say?
“I won’t ask you. The old lady will come naturally.” Mu Lan smiled.
“But you don’t have a fever, miss. If the old lady knows you’re lying, then..” He Xiang is still a little nervous, not for himself, but for Mu Lan.
Mu Lan quieted down and said, “Don’t worry about that. Even if the doctor comes, you can’t see it.”. Just do as I say.
“Yes.” He Xiang repeatedly promised, “The young lady will rest early, and the maidservant will leave first.”
Mu Lan nodded, and the lotus fragrance left in a hurry. The
falling snow building has been restored to a quiet place.
……
At that time
, the doctor had already straightened Mu Zhihua’s dislocated wrist. Mu Zhihua was so painful that he could not speak. His eyes were full of tears, and Chen Zhirong was angry and annoyed.
“Will there be any sequelae?” Chen Zhirong twisted her eyebrows and asked the doctor, and the anxiety on her face was obvious. If a
person is incomplete, the East Palace will naturally look down on him.
The doctor shook his head and gave a positive answer: “Please rest assured that Miss Yi’s hand has been taken back. Don’t lift heavy things during this time. It’s no big problem, and there won’t be any sequelae.”
“Here comes Dr. Lao.” Chen Zhirong motioned to Mammy to come forward.
Mammy gave the doctor a reward, and the doctor thanked him and left in a hurry. Only then did
Chen Chih-jung look at Mu Chih-hua and say, Who allowed you to go to Mu Lan so impulsively. Haven’t you suffered enough at Mulan’s?
“Niang” Mu Chih-hua wept with tears in her eyes. If
you are so impulsive, sooner or later you will fall into Mu Lan’s trap. That’s giving away everything you’ve got. Chen Zhirong really hates that iron does not become steel.
Usually see their own daughter, smart, can coax Li Shiyuan happy, but now, as if completely replaced by a person, do things without any brain, impulse can no longer be impulsive.
“If you want to marry into the East Palace, why don’t you die of anger?” Chen Chih-jung gave a sneer. “The situation in the East Palace is much more complicated than that in the Mansion of Prince Mu. Mu Lan is just a man who was born a calf and is not afraid of tigers. Why do you compete with Mu Lan?”
Mother, you must get rid of Mu Lan. Mulan is now even seducing the prince, but I see that the prince’s soul is going to be taken away by Mulan. Mu Zhihua opened his mouth indignantly.
“Seduction depends on whether she has the ability.” Chen Chih-jung said in a cold voice, “You have to remember that you are the future Crown Princess. No matter what it is, you can’t let yourself lose your decency.”. Mother and the queen’s close relationship, this matter has been promised by the queen, the emperor also agreed, there can be no variables. If you get yourself into trouble, you can’t blame anyone else.
Mu Zhihua pursed his lips and said nothing.
Even if you take ten thousand steps back and say that the prince really likes Mu Lan, you’re not doing anything to Mu Lan in the palace. Don’t you understand the situation of the palace now? She’s in favor, and the more you get the upper hand, the more you make her proud, and you’ll only make yourself embarrassed.
Chen Chih-jung scolded Mu Chih-hua: When the prince marries you, you are also the imperial concubine. Even if she enters the East Palace together, she is just a side concubine. In the palace, it is much easier to make a person disappear. Did you hear what I said. Besides, we haven’t even come this far yet. I think you’re the one who’s worried.
Mu Zhihua is actually afraid of Chen Zhirong. When
Chen Zhirong changed her face, it made people shudder. Naturally,
Mu Chih-hua was scolded by Chen Chih-jung for not daring to speak out. Only then did he bow his head and reply, “I know.”
“It’s good to know.” Chen Chih-jung nodded. “The old lady and the prince will be back before midnight tomorrow. We have to go to the door to pay our respects before they come back. We can’t let Mulan take the lead again. You should be very clear about what to say and do.”
“Zhihua knows.” Mu Zhihua answered. Only then did
Chen Chih-jung breathe sigh of relief: “Whoever spoils Mu Lan, you will let Mu Lan capsize in his heart. Do you understand?”
Mu Zhihua repeatedly answered. After
Chen Zhirong explained, he nodded and left Mu Zhihua and went back to his house.
But Chen Zhirong’s mind is full of tomorrow’s coping strategies. I’m
afraid preconceived ideas are the best policy.
This night, Chen Zhirong had a sleepless night.
……
The second day. When the
time had not yet arrived, there was already an announcement outside the palace that Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan had come back.
Two people’s carriage just arrived, Chen Zhirong had already taken Mu Zhihua to stand at the gate of the palace waiting for two people, and at the gate of the palace, in addition to the people of the second room, two concubines had all arrived, even Mu Mian, who seldom went out of the courtyard, stood quietly.
Only Mu Lan is missing.
Chen Zhirong some alert look, but really did not find the figure of Mu Lan, which let Chen Zhirong twist eyebrows, according to her calculation, Mu Lan instead to wait early in the morning, as before, Mu Lan automatically went to the ancestral temple to kneel before dawn. Isn’t it time to
take the lead?
Chen Zhirong sank and did not speak.
When the carriage stopped, Chen Zhirong took the lead in kneeling down and paying his respects. Mam
my Li and Mammy Gui helped Wang Xueshuang out of the carriage, looking cautious.
These days, Wang Xueshuang is a little tired, the spirit is not very good. She waved her hand and said, “All right, get up. Don’t make a big fuss here. It’s not a big deal.”
Wang Xueshuang has never liked high profile.
Mu Hongyuan also came down soon.
Chen Chih-jung stood up and walked toward Mu Hong. “Wang Yeh, you’re back.”
“Mmm.” Mu Hongyuan answered.
Chen Zhirong cleverly followed Mu Hongyuan’s side, but out of the corner of his eye he looked at Mu Zhihua, Mu Zhihua’s aggrieved flat mouth, and the tears came.
With Mu Zhihuasheng’s lovely, once filled with tears in the eyes, anyone will feel soft-hearted.
Mu Chih-hua didn’t say anything, but Wang Hsueh-shuang had already noticed: “What’s wrong with Chih-hua?”? Tell me what you have been wronged about.
“Grandmother..” When asked by Wang Hsueh-shuang, Mu Chih-hua was even more aggrieved, but he looked like he didn’t dare say anything. “It’s nothing. It’s nothing for Chih-hua to be aggrieved.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang quieted down: “Just let you say it. I’m really wronged. How can I not make decisions for you?”
Mu Hung-yuan’s brows twisted: “What’s the matter?” Only
then did Chen Chih-jung say, My daughter-in-law doesn’t know what happened, and Chih-hua won’t say anything. But yesterday Chih-hua probably had an argument with Lan’er, and by the time I noticed it, Chih-hua’s wrist was already dislocated. But I am also responsible for this.
This good and bad, all let Chen Zhirong say.
Wang Hsueh-shuang twisted her eyebrows and walked toward the palace. “Did you say Mu Lan?”
Yes. Yesterday, Mu Lan left the house for a day without permission and came back in the evening. I am anxious, afraid of Mu Lan out of the accident. Besides, the female dependents in this house are not allowed to leave the house privately, even if they want to leave the house, they have to report to my concubine here, I think, Mu Lan should not understand the rules, will leave in private. After all, there are no such rules in the Ku family.
Chen Zhi-rong spoke slowly, seemingly favoring Mu Lan between the lines, but pushing Mu Lan to the cusp of the storm: I think, even if Niang promised Mu Lan, I don’t have to ask about the affairs of the house, so Niang is not here, Mu Lan goes out, how can I explain to the elder of my concubine, so when Mu Lan comes back. My concubine said a few words about Mu Lan. Maybe Mu Lan is not very happy.
Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan listened to Chen Zhirong’s words and twisted their brows.
This look is not very good.
This is only a few days not in the house, the house can give birth to trouble, and then a long time, not necessarily what happened.
Chen Chih-jung was also observing the faces of the two men, but she still finished her words: In addition, the prince and the four royal families came down to the mansion yesterday. After Mu Lan interrupted the prince and Zhi Hua, when the prince left, the two of them had an argument, and then that’s what you see now. I didn’t dare to ask.
Chen Zhirong finished and stopped talking.
Things have been said in black and white.
“Where is Mulan?” Mu Hongyuan sank and opened his mouth first.
Wang Xueshuang did not speak, which means that this is also the meaning of Wang Xueshuang. Seeing this, Chen Zhirong was overjoyed, and even Mu Zhihua seemed a little proud. Speaking
of Mu Lan, I haven’t seen Lan Er come to see the old lady yet. Don’t Lan Er always come quite early on weekdays? Chen Zhirong is adding insult to injury.
It was almost Chen Zhirong’s voice that fell, and Hexiang and Chen’s housekeeper came in a hurry.
Chen Zhirong’s expression became alert in an instant.
He Xiang then knelt down in front of Chen Chih-jung, saying anxiously and nervously, “My maidservant asked the old lady to forgive me. Early this morning, my maidservant went to call the eldest young lady to get up, but the eldest young lady didn’t respond for a long time. My maidservant thought the eldest young lady hadn’t woken up yet, so she didn’t dare to say anything more.”
Wang Xueshuang’s eyebrows twisted up again.
But as the time for the old lady’s return approached, the maidservant did not dare to hesitate. After all, the eldest lady had told her thousands of times yesterday that she must be called up. As soon as the maidservant entered the door, she discovered that the eldest lady had a high fever, which was so hot that it was frightening. The maidservant hurriedly asked Mingyue to inform the housekeeper Chen.
Hexiang said in good order: “Then the maidservant stayed to take care of the young lady. The young lady woke up in a daze and saw that the maidservant was still there. Then she asked the maidservant to come and apologize to the old lady.”. Chen’s housekeeper has already sent for the doctor. The panic
in Hexiang’s eyes is obvious.
He Xiang was really frightened by Mu Lan, and when he saw Mu Lan, he was pale and weak, completely unlike the man who had questioned him sternly yesterday.
So now, even the words of the lotus fragrance have become trembling, as if frightened.
And this words, Wang Xueshuang’s face also changed, Mu Hongyuan’s face is not good-looking, and then look at Chen Zhirong, Chen Zhirong more and more appear panicked.
“Wang Ye, I don’t know about this. I haven’t heard anything from the people at the Snow Tower.” Chen Zhirong immediately shook his head and tried to shake off the responsibility.
But let Chen Zhirong want to break his head, did not want to understand what Mu Lan was singing.
“Let’s go to the Snow Tower first.” Only then did Wang Xueshuang open his mouth.
Mu Hongyuan hum, did not say anything, but can see the pace of the hurry.
You should know that when Luo Xue passed away, it was because of a high fever after childbirth that he failed to save her in time, and finally she disappeared. Hearing
Mu Lan’s fever, Mu Hongyuan could not have been nervous.
Now, a group of people hurried toward the direction of the snow building, this is the first time in so many years, the snow building is so lively.
Or because of Mu Lan.
When Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan arrived, the doctor had just finished examining Mu Lan’s pulse and came out with a dignified face.
“What’s going on?” Wang Xueshuang immediately asked. After thinking for a while, the
doctor said, “Miss Mu must have had a cold yesterday. The weather has made her sick very badly. She had a very high fever overnight. Now I’ve written a prescription for Miss Mu. I won’t know anything until Miss Mu’s fever has subsided.”
This doctor, Mu Wangfu’s people are also familiar, often come to Wangfu to see a doctor, so Wang Xueshuang will not doubt the doctor’s words, and Mu Lan and the doctor did not know each other. There is no need for
the doctor to lie for Mulan.
Wang Xueshuang was supported by Mammy Li and walked toward Mu Lan’s bed. Mu Lan seemed to be in a coma. Her face was pale and frightening, as if her blood had faded overnight.
Mingming was a lively person a few days ago, but now he suddenly becomes like this. It is false that
Wang Xueshuang said she was not nervous.
Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua looked at each other, obviously some unexpected, but more is not clear, obviously last night Mu Lan is the same as usual, this short time, how can it evolve into this.
Chen Chih-jung twisted her eyebrows and looked at the doctor. “Have you made a wrong diagnosis?”
The doctor immediately opened his mouth in fear and said, “Give me ten lives, and I dare not mistake the cause of Miss Mu’s illness. If the imperial concubine is not at ease, you can ask the imperial physician in the palace to come and have a look.”. After all, this cold can be big or small.
“Go and ask the royal physician to come.” Mu Hongyuan has already spoken. “Yes, my men are on their way,” answered
the bodyguard. After the
guards were ordered, they left in a hurry.
And Mu Lan also still did not have any reaction, lying quietly on the bed, the lotus fragrance is nervous unceasingly in the side.
Wang Hsueh-shuang’s brows suddenly twisted: “Ho-hsiang, why does your master have a slap on his face?” When he
heard Wang’s words, he immediately knelt down and looked at her with great trepidation. “I dare not say anything back to the old lady.”
“When the old lady asks you to speak, you speak.” Mu Hongyuan’s voice also sank. As soon as
this question was asked, Chen Zhirong’s face became ugly in an instant, and Mu Zhihua became nervous. Even if Chen Zhirong now understood what Mu Lan was up to, it was too late for her to do anything about it.
Now no matter what Chen Zhirong says, the wrong person is himself.
But Ho-hsiang still appeared hesitant, looking cautiously at Chen Chih-jung, and then immediately withdrew her gaze. In the light of Wang Hsueh-shuang’s eyes, Ho-hsiang quickly said, “The slap on the young lady’s face was hit by the imperial concubine.”
“What’s going on?” This time, the person who opened his mouth was Mu Hongyuan.
His eyes looked sharply at Chen Zhirong.
Chen Chih-jung immediately knelt down, and before he could explain, Mu Chih-hua knelt down after him, weeping bitterly. “Father, grandmother, don’t let Mu Lan deceive you. This is all Mu Lan’s trap.”
Suddenly, falling snow in the building, noisy. When Mu Lan, who
was on the bed, heard the sound, he seemed to be disturbed. His weak body moved. Before he opened his eyes, he began to shout, “Hexiang, are you back?”? Have you paid your respects to the old lady?
“Mademoiselle, the maidservant is back.” He Xiang hurried forward. Only then did
Mu Lan slowly open her eyes and see the people in the room. Mu Lan was obviously stunned, but she soon struggled to get up and wanted to kneel down to pay her respects.
As a result, Wang Hsueh-shuang had already stopped her: “You don’t have to pay your respects. I’m sorry to see you like this. You can rest here. We’ll talk about other things when you’re ready.”
Mulan hesitated. “What am I going to say to my grandmother?”
Completely did not mention that he was beaten, nor did he sue anyone, this attitude is to let Wang Xueshuang know a few minutes, and Chen Zhirong and Mu Zhihua listen, is really hate to gnash their teeth.
Mu Lan once again beat them so that there was no room for them to talk back.
But they do not know how Mu Lan is the evolution of this matter to the present, completely only to the advantage of Mu Lan.
“Miss.” “The old lady is here because of what happened last night,” he explained.
“Last night?” Mu Lan nodded clearly, and then coughed, looking more and more weak. “Grandmother, you’re worried. Yesterday Mu Lan was not good enough to leave the house without permission, so when she came back, she was told a few words by the empress.”. Then the prince came, and the matter was over.
This statement is not too different from Chen Zhirong.
Then Lan Er went out for a walk after dinner and happened to meet the prince and Miss Yi. The prince asked Lan Er a few questions, and then the prince left. Lan’er didn’t keep it in mind either. Mu Lan said slowly, every word is particularly laborious.
Inside, there was a dead silence.
“In the evening, Lan Er had already changed her clothes, but Miss Yi came, but Miss Yi didn’t do anything, and suddenly ran out crying. Lan Er was also a little confused. Finally, the side concubine came, and Lan Er knew that Miss Yi’s hand was dislocated. The side concubine thought it was me who did it, and slapped her. Later, the matter was over.”
Mu Lan spoke very slowly, but he said things very clearly.
She did not say right or wrong, as if she was an outsider, just expressing one thing.
As soon as Mu Lan’s voice fell, Mu Zhihua’s voice came from the root of the river: “Mu Lan, my wrist was broken by you.”
This is an indictment.
“Nonsense.” Mu Hongyuan snapped at Mu Zhihua. “Mu Lan is a girl. How could she have the strength to break your wrist?”
Mu Zhihua looked at Mu Hongyuan in amazement.
Chen Zhirong was in a hurry and pulled Mu Zhihua’s hand, but Mu Zhihua’s eyes were even redder.
Zhihua, shouldn’t you be responsible for what you say? Can this kind of words be said casually? What will the prince think of you if the people in the palace see you like this? Mu Hongyuan warned Mu Zhihua in a cold voice.
Mu Zhihua has never suffered such a grievance.
In the palace of Mu Wang, Mu Hongyuan almost held Mu Zhihua in the palm of his hand and spoiled him. When he scolded himself with such a cold face, Mu Zhihua walked quickly outside the Snow Tower without thinking about it, and his pace became faster and faster. Just as
Chen Chih-jung was about to catch up with him, Mu Hung-yuan’s cold voice said, “Don’t chase me. There’s nothing to look at.”
In Mu Hongyuan’s words, Chen Zhirong’s footsteps abruptly stopped,
Mu Lan did not explain the meaning, as if to say these words, let Mu Lan’s breathing become difficult.
Wang Xueshuang did not need to ask any more questions, but he already understood.
But Hexiang suddenly said, as if remembering something: “The maidservant knows that it’s cold now. At that time, the imperial concubine came to Luoxue Lou, and the young lady went out in a single dress. That’s why she suddenly caught a cold, and became like this now, with a high fever.” Everything
is completely in front of everyone.
Wang Hsueh-shuang didn’t ask any more questions. She waved her hand and said, “All right, you all go down. Don’t bother Lan Er to rest here.”. It is up to me to decide the matter.
“Yes.” The crowd did not dare to hesitate and immediately answered respectfully.
Chen Zhirong wanted to explain, but there was no room for explanation, and finally he could only go out reluctantly, and when Chen Zhirong withdrew from the house, he saw Mu Lan’s almost provocative eyebrows and eyes, and did not shy away from falling on Chen Zhirong.
Chen Zhirong gnashed his teeth with hatred, but he could only break all this and swallow it.
Out of the snow building, Chen Zhirong’s face instantly gloomy down, three rooms and four rooms to see Chen Zhirong’s gloomy, also dare not speak, quickly with their own people left.
Chen Zhirong looked at the direction of the snow building for a long time, and then left in a hurry.
She thought she was going to the palace early.
Some things can’t go wrong, and some people can’t stay.
The low eyebrows and eyes hid their cruelty.
Quietly.
……
But in the snow building, as a group of people left, suddenly quiet down, Wang Xueshuang in the bed, holding Mu Lan’s hand, Mu Hongyuan did not leave.
Mulan coughed a few times. “Grandmother, you’d better go back first. Laner is all right. You’re here. Laner is afraid that the cold will infect you. Laner will feel guilty and blame herself.”
Seeing the sensible Mu Lan, Wang Xueshuang became more and more distressed.
Even if the initial balance is partial to Chen Zhirong a room, after this one after another, Wang Xueshuang is also a little annoyed.
She waved her hand and said, “It doesn’t matter.”. Nothing will happen if I sit down for a while. I won’t be too late to leave until the doctor comes to see me.
Mu Lan hum, did not say anything.
Wang Xueshuang waited for the imperial doctor to come, and naturally he also wanted to hear the words of the imperial doctor.
Wang Xueshuang has always been a cautious person, although Mu Lan does not know the doctor who often comes and goes in the palace, but it does not mean that he can not be bribed, but the imperial doctor in the palace, it is absolutely impossible to have any contact with Mu Lan.
Therefore, Mu Lan understood very well that as long as the imperial doctor in the palace said the same as the doctor, then Chen Zhirong’s sin would be confirmed. Mu Lan will not interfere with what
Wang Xueshuang does.
But Mulan’s goal was achieved.
Successfully alienated the relationship between Wang Xueshuang and Chen Zhirong, a little bit of Wang Xueshuang’s trust in Chen Zhirong was stripped, the next thing is much easier to do.
In the palace, although she does not want to ask Chen Zhirong, but Mu Lan knows his identity, she is not a free body, want to get a free body, or need Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan nod.
It takes a little time, step by step.
After all, the arrangement of things in the palace by flying pigeons is far less safe and effective than face-to-face arrangement in the shops.
But when Wang Xueshuang saw that Mu Lan did not speak, she casually asked, “The side imperial concubine said you went out. Where did you go?”? I remember that Ku’s mansion is also in Kyoto. Didn’t Lan Er go there when she was in Ku’s mansion?
“When I went back to my grandmother, it was because the Ku Mansion was in Kyoto, and when Lan’er was in the Ku Mansion, her adoptive father had been taking Lan’er out. That’s why Lan’er left the palace today, looking for the way her adoptive father took Lan’er, and looking for supplements for her grandmother.” Mu Lan’s homeopathic excuse.
At this point, even Mu Hung-yuan, who had been silent all the time, looked over and said, “Tonic?”? There’s nothing in this palace, and I want you to go out in person, a respectable daughter of Prince Mu’s palace. Even if you don’t, tell the slaves below, and they can do it for you safely.
Mu Hongyuan is never a person who is easy to fool.
The eyes fell on Mu Lan’s body, but a little more look at the meaning.
Mu Lan, on the other hand, did not dodge. In response to Mu Hongyuan’s eyes, he slowly explained, “Dad, only when you do everything yourself can you be more sincere.”. In addition, Lan’er couldn’t tell the way, and there were too many alleys to get around, so Lan’er decided to go and lie down herself.
Mu Hongyuan did not interrupt Mu Lan’s words.
Mu Lan smiled faintly: “Lan’s adoptive mother is not in good health and needs to be raised, so the adoptive father went to an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and asked for this nourishing prescription, which he insisted on giving to the adoptive mother. The adoptive mother’s health is getting better day by day, but the beauty is unlucky..” Mu Lan did not say the
following words.
Wang Xueshuang is listening to some reddish eyes, is embarrassed this filial but warm-hearted child, all the year round is not in Mu Wangfu, even if was picked up, knowing is the role of Chongxi, but will not bring a little full, but is sincere to do things for themselves.
Mu Hongyuan was also a little surprised, but in the end he didn’t say anything.
Gu Fu up and down thirty people died overnight was exterminated, Mu Hongyuan is aware of, but Mu Hongyuan will not have too much waves.
But now looking at this face like a princess, Mu Hongyuan can not do the initial indifference to the heart. But after years of introversion, Mu Hongyuan is not a person who can release his feelings wantonly.
Not being indifferent is probably the only thing Mu Hongyuan can do.
All right, don’t mention the past. Stay well in the palace from now on. Wang Hsueh-shuang patted Mu Lan’s hand. “I know what Lan’s heart is. If you want to go in and out of the palace in the future, you and butler Chen will tell you not to let the people in the palace worry.”
“Lan’er knows.” Mu Lan answered.
Soon, Mulan looked at Hexiang and said, “Hexiang, bring back what I brought back yesterday.”
“The maidservant obeys.” He Xiang answered.
Soon, the carefully wrapped tonic, Hexiang, was brought over. After Mu Lan took it, she personally handed it to Wang Xueshuang: Grandmother can try it. I will also ask the imperial physician if this prescription is good for my grandmother. If it’s all right, Lan’er will take the house for his grandmother.
“Good.” Wang Xueshuang nodded.
Li Mammy has naturally taken over from Mu Lan’s hand and stood quietly.
Mu Lan looks a little tired.
But still holding on.
Just outside the house came the voice of butler Chen: “Tell me, Wang Yeh and the old lady, doctor Ho is here.”
“Hurry up and welcome.” Wang Xueshuang answered.
After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Chen led Ho Changsheng in. Seeing Wang Xueshuang and Mu Hongyuan, Ho Changsheng paid his respects: “I have seen Lord Mu and Lady Mu.”
“Doctor Ho came to see my granddaughter, but suddenly she caught a cold and had a high fever. The doctor outside came to see her, but I’m still a little worried.” Wang Xueshuang simply told the whole story once.
He Changsheng did not dare to neglect.
He has an impression of Mu Lan, he Changsheng quickly walked to the front of Mu Lan, Mu Lan even if weak, still polite nod signal.
He Changsheng did not say anything, carefully felt the pulse of Mu Lan.
Gradually, however, Ho Chang-sheng’s brows began to twist, and his reaction looked similar to that of the doctor before him. After waiting for a while, he let go of Mu Lan and turned to ask, “Old lady, what prescription did the doctor prescribe before? Can you show it to me?”
“Of course.” Wang Xueshuang nodded. She quickly glanced at the
prescription, then nodded: “The doctor’s prescription is all right. I’ll add a few more herbs to make sure that within three days Miss Mu’s fever will be gone and her health will be better.”
“But is it serious?” Wang Xueshuang asked. The
sudden cold was too fierce, and Miss Mu’s body was a little weak, so it was much harder to endure. I’ve been resting in the mansion for three days. I don’t have to work hard. I’ll take the medicine on time, and I’ll get better soon. Ho Chang-sheng said gently, “It’s just that Miss Mu probably didn’t pay much attention to it before, so she still needs to take care of her body.” Hearing this,
Wang Hsueh-shuang repeatedly nodded: “Then there will be trouble for the imperial physician.”
“This is what a humble minister should do.” He Yuyi answered.
Soon, He Yuyi bowed his head and prescribed, Wang Xueshuang immediately let Chen butler to prepare, He Yuyi did not stay in the house, after seeing Mu Lan, he left in a hurry.
At this moment, Wang Hsueh-shuang looked at Mu Lan, and her heartache became more and more obvious: “Lan, you have a good rest. You don’t have to come to pay your respects these three days. When you’re ready, you can come to pay your respects to your grandmother. I’m not at ease with you.”
Lan’er will get better soon. Grandmother, don’t worry. Even in this case, Mu Lan still put Wang Xueshuang in the first place.
Wang Xuemei’s eyes were more satisfied.
Then Wang Hsueh-shuang stood up and said, “You see, this man is getting old, and his health is getting worse and worse. He just went out for a few days, and now he can’t stand it any more. Grandmother won’t be here to accompany you any more, and let Hexiang take care of you.”
“He Xiang obeys.” He Xiang answered at once.
“Hong yuan, let’s go.” Wang Xueshuang looked at Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Hongyuan nodded, but softened his voice and said a few words to Mu Lan. Then he told the slaves in a harsh voice: “If there is anything wrong with the eldest lady, the king will make your heads fall.”
“Yes.” The slaves in the house knelt on the ground.
Then, Mu Hongyuan sent Wang Xueshuang away.
On the way back, Wang Hsueh-shuang chatted with Mu Hung-yuan: “This Mu Lan, ah, is really pleasing to me. He does things in a good way. Compared to Cher in those days, he is even better.”
Mu Hung-yuan quieted down. “Does Niang like Mu Lan very much?”
“But when Mulan came back, I was still on guard. Now, Mulan has the ability to make people like him a little bit. Look at this palace. Which slave is not convinced of Mulan?” Wang Hsueh-shuang looked appreciative, but suddenly her voice sank. “It’s the imperial concubines on this side who are getting more and more restless now.”
Mu Hongyuan didn’t pick up the conversation.
“I have tolerated and believed again and again, but what is the result?” Wang Hsueh-shuang’s voice was a little stern. “Now there’s been such a scene. Look at Mu Lan. He hasn’t said a bad word. When the side concubine saw me, she said all the bad things.”
“I’ll talk about Zhirong later.” Mu Hung-yuan knew that Wang Hsueh-shuang was really a little angry, and only then did he placate him, saying, “This kind of thing won’t happen again.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang murmured, “In the palace, harmony is the real thing.”. I don’t want to see such a thing as long as I’m alive.
“I see.” Mu Hongyuan answered and then changed the subject. “The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming. I’ll tell the slaves to get ready later. The emperor wants us to go to the palace one day earlier, just in time for Niang to talk to the Empress Dowager. Zhirong also wants to discuss the marriage of Zhihua and the prince with the Empress Dowager.”
Wang Hsueh-shuang nodded. “Have you thought about Mu Lan?”
Mu Hongyuan quieted down and said, “Mu Lan just came back. I’m not a familiar face in Kyoto, and I can’t find the right person for a while, so I still have to go to the talent show.”. As for good fortune, it only depends on Mu Lan himself. It’s a good thing to be liked by the emperor or by the prince.
Wang Xueshuang quieted down and finally said nothing.
She didn’t want Mulan to go to the palace to serve the emperor, and everyone knew what that meant.
But Mu Hongyuan doesn’t seem to think so.
In the end, Wang Xueshuang didn’t say anything.
This matter, really can only see the good fortune of Mu Lan.
Then, two people did not talk, quietly walked, until Wang Xueshuang sent to the house, Mu Hongyuan left. He didn’t go anywhere, but went straight to Chen Zhirong. When
Chen Zhirong saw Mu Hongyuan, he still had some grievances, but when he saw Mu Hongyuan with a gloomy face, Chen Zhirong did not dare to say much, but he did not coax Mu Hongyuan as usual. For men, Chen Zhirong was very good, advancing and retreating appropriately.
“Mulan is a little girl. What are you fighting with her for?” Mu Hongyuan waited for a while before he spoke.
Chen Chih-jung looked at Mu Hong-yuan and said angrily, “Does Wang Yeh see that I have been bullied by Mu Lan all the time?”? Mu Lan’s ability to make a counter-charge made me sit up and take notice.
“Mother is old. You should all behave yourselves. Don’t make any trouble for her.” Mu Hongyuan’s voice sank. “The Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon. Don’t think about the wedding of Zhihua. You still have the mind to think about it. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Mu Lan is only sixteen. What are you afraid of?”? Can she still take your power?
Mu Hongyuan scolded several times. Only then did
Chen Zhirong become honest.
Besides, Mu Lan is a girl, and she can’t stay in the palace for a long time. Sooner or later, she’s going to get married. What’s your hurry. Knowing that the paintings all point to marriage, is Mu Lan still far away? Mu Hongyuan explained what he said.
This, Chen Zhirong that kind of impetuous feeling also followed to put down. Think about it, she really acted too hastily, or, in Mu Lan’s deliberate, so that some of their own can not help, without the initial calm, only repeatedly in front of Wang Xueshuang made mistakes, leaving a stain.
This chess, it seems, really can’t go like this.
If she really loses the support of Wang Xueshuang, her life in the mansion will not be easy.
And Wang Xueshuang can’t deal with it like Luo Xue in those days.
At this point, Chen Chih-jung’s voice softened: “Wang Yeh, I know I’m wrong. Don’t blame me. I won’t dare next time.”
Said, Chen Zhirong has also pasted up.
Beauty in the bosom, nephrite warm fragrance, Mu Hongyuan also naturally can not resist. The candlelight in the
room went out, and the gauze tent was full of infinite spring scenery.
……
But in the snow building, after a group of people left, he Xiang looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan has stood up, completely without the appearance of weakness.
“Little..” Miss. You. How did you do that? Hexiang is so shocked.
Mu Lan pretended to be ill, lifelike, at first the lotus incense thought Mu Lan just bribed the doctor, but now the doctor came, and the doctor said the same time, the lotus incense stunned a word can not say.
Mu Lan smiled. “I have my own way.”. But you can’t tell anyone about this, or it would really be a capital offense.
“If the maidservant knows, don’t worry.” He Xiang answered repeatedly, “But you are like this.”
These three days, I will not leave the house, and after three days, naturally there will be no need for this. I’ll take care of the other things. The imperial physician and the doctor’s prescription are sent to you on time every day. This is for the side concubine and the old lady to see. You can get rid of it later. Mu Lan explained carefully, “But everything must be careful.”
“The maidservant knows.” Hexiang nodded repeatedly.
This matter is of great importance, and the lotus fragrance can still be distinguished.
Even Mu Lan malingering this matter, the entire building, only the lotus fragrance knows, including outside the clear breeze bright moon, small five and small seven have not known.
This is also Mu Lan’s trust in Lotus Fragrance, which has continued all the way from the previous life.
“And I haven’t seen anyone for three days.” Mulan nodded. “No matter who it is, they are all outside the door.”
“The maidservant knows.” Soon, Hexiang thought, “Where are Wang Yeh and the old lady?”? Have you not seen the young lady?
The old lady’s health is so bad that she won’t come to me. As for my father, he won’t. He has a lot of official duties to deal with, so don’t worry. The others were all stopped outside by Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, so there was no need to be polite. Mu Lan explained carefully.
He Xiang answered, and then she hurried away and did what Mu Lan told her to do.
Mu Lan looked at the lotus fragrance to leave, then turned to the desk, in the blank rice paper to write out their own requirements carefully, even the way of the bunk, are drawn out with a picture.
Then Mu Lan rolled up the paper and went to the window.
The window was open, but only a gap was left.
Mu Lan’s slender fingers gently knocked on the window edge, she waited less than a cup of tea, outside the window came the sound of birds flapping their wings.
She opened the window slightly.
A pigeon had flown in and settled quietly on the back of a chair beside it.
Mu Lan removed the foot ring on the pigeon’s foot, quickly stuffed the rolled paper into the foot ring, then fed the pigeon some water and food, and released the pigeon directly.
The pigeon fluttered its wings and soon disappeared from Mu Lan’s eyes. Flying pigeons
in Kyoto is not the safest thing to do. People with
their own ideas will shoot down accurately when they see the carrier pigeon, so as to avoid the slightest accident.
And shopkeeper Wang’s homing pigeons are all cultivated by Mu Zhanxiao. Naturally, they are much safer than ordinary homing pigeons. The homing pigeons will come back at night and bring a reply from shopkeeper Wang. The matter of the
two shops is also under the control of Mu Lan, proceeding step by step.
She is not impatient.
……
A day’s time is also easy to kill.
Mu Lan is rarely quiet, as if back to Gu Fu, you can read, embroider, and soon to the time of sunset.
He Xiang brought dinner, Mu Lan just finished a side embroidery, stretched a lazy waist.
Miss, it’s time for dinner. The herbs have been disposed of according to your orders. He Xiang said quietly.
Mu Lan nodded, but also did not say much, stood up, and then walked toward the small table, the lotus fragrant cloth good dish, retreated to one side.
Then Hexiang saw Mulan’s embroidery, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more obvious: “Miss, can you still embroider?”
“Whose girl doesn’t embroidery?” Mu Lan asked with a smile. The girls who
are not out of the cabinet have to learn to embroidery, just the difference between Seiko and not. Not as good as the level of the embroidery lady in the embroidery room, most of them can also see people.
Because at the time of the wedding, the wife must personally embroider a purse for her husband, which is also intended to protect their love for husband and wife.
It is the saying of good luck.
As far as people like Mu Zhihua are concerned, embroidery is no problem. Chen Zhirong has given Mu Zhihua lot of contact with these. Mu Zhihua’s embroidery skills are also excellent among the female dependents.
It’s just
that Mu Lan sank. In the
last life, Mu Zhihua inadvertently knew Mu Lan’s ability, and then put the idea on Mu Lan, almost half threatening and half coaxing to let Mu Lan replace Mu Zhihua embroidery, and the people who won praise were all Mu Zhihua.
Ha ha
, Mu Lan smiled coldly, but the cruelty in his eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.
When Ho-hsiang saw this, she shuddered, and her voice began to stammer: “Miss, you’re making people feel like they’re in a panic.”
Mu Lan had already gathered up his emotions and smiled faintly. “Are you scared?” He asked.
He Xiang shook her head. “He Xiang knows that the young lady is not targeting the maidservant.”
Mulan touched Hexiang’s forehead and said, “I didn’t hurt you in vain.”
He Xiang changed the subject and said, “Miss, who did you do this embroidery with? It’s really beautiful. I’ve never seen such beautiful embroidery in the capital.”. I haven’t even seen it on the old lady or the imperial concubine.
Want to know, can give the people of the palace embroidery, must be Seiko a must.
Li Yan and Li Mu’s embroidery is no problem, but Mu Lan can be more superb, after all, Mu Lan is the real heir of the Li family, all the essence of Mu Lan is in it.
The Li family as the world’s first embroidery room, can cultivate countless embroidery Niang, but it is absolutely impossible to tell these embroidery Niang the most essential place, that is only passed on to the Li family.
In Li Ruolan’s generation, Li Ruolan was the only heir left in the Li family.
Li Ruolan was weak and had a child with Gu yuanzhi, but he died in the womb, so later they devoted themselves to cultivating Mu Lan, and did not mind that Mu Lan was not their own child, and passed on all their skills to Mu Lan.
With Mu Lan’s talent, this makes Mu Lan’s embroidery reach the state of pure love like fire.
Nature is not comparable to those embroidery women.
And a sachet embroidered in Mu Lan’s hand, the girls all like it very much.
“Like it?” Mu Lan asked.
He Xiang nodded repeatedly: “I like it, I like it so much.”
“Good.” Mulan smiled. “When I’ve finished, I’ll fill it with spices and give it to the lotus.”
He Xiang was pleasantly surprised: “Really?”? The maidservant thanks the young lady.
Mu Lan smiled and said nothing, but did not go on, but sat down quietly and ate the dinner in front of him in small bites.
It was not until he finished eating that Mulan put down his chopsticks.
Hexiang cleared the table and hurried out.
Mu Lan continued to go back to embroider cloth before, serious line embroidery, she only wore a thin clothes, outside a windbreaker, but did not seriously button up, plain little face without any makeup, hair is only gently pulled up, but people can not help but pay more attention to a few eyes.
Suddenly, the movement in Mu Lan’s hand stopped.
She sat quietly in place, but her ears were already sensitive to the sound of walking on the roof beams, very light, but could not escape Mu Lan’s ears. The embroidery needle in her
hand was pinched in the palm of her hand, slightly hard. The
low eyebrows and eyes flashed a trace of cruelty.
But also only a moment, in the embroidery needle to shoot through the window paper moment, Mu Lan has received the strength, and focused on the hands of the embroidered cloth, as if completely unaware of what happened outside the window.
It was not until a tall figure appeared quietly in Mu Lan’s room that Mu Lan pretended to look up in surprise and said, “Your Highness, you really like to come uninvited.”
Li Shiyu was not in a hurry to open his mouth and looked at Mu Lan. Although
Mu Lan’s complexion is pale, Li Shiyu can see at a glance that Mu Lan is by no means infected with cold, high fever and weak body as He Changsheng said.
That pale seems to be deliberate, but Mu Lan itself seems to have nothing to do, calm.
Li Shiyu can be sure that He Changsheng can not have any intersection with Mu Lan, as the head of the hospital, He Changsheng can not lie for Mu Lan.
So, how can Mu Lan easily deceive He Changsheng, the head of today’s hospital.
Li Shiyu sank, standing, hands behind him, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes, but also a trace of deep meaning.
But Mu Lan saw that Li Shiyu did not open his mouth, nor did he urge him, quietly bowing his head and continuing to embroider.
Until Li Shiyu came to the front of Mu Lan, half frivolous, half exploring raised Mu Lan’s chin, Mu Lan just passively looked at Li Shiyu.
But her surface is not any panic, looking at Li Shiyu’s eyes are particularly calm.
“Sick?” Li Shiyu asked lightly.
Mu Lan smiled and said, “How did Your Highness learn this news?”. If I get sick, I won’t disturb your Highnesses.
The king entered the palace just in time to see Doctor Ho coming back, so he chatted a few words. Only then did he know that Doctor Ho had gone to Prince Mu’s mansion to see you. But when the king looked at it this way, Miss Mu didn’t look like she had caught a cold at all, except for her pale face.
Li Shi-yu spoke directly, and the way he looked at Mu Lan was even more fleeting: “No matter how brilliant Doctor Ho’s medical skills are, it’s impossible that in half a day, a person with a heavy cold will be like a person who has nothing to do, and he can still wear such a thin dress and embroider here.”
Mu Lan, however, was not in a hurry. “So your Highness has come to see me specially?” He asked.
Li Shiyu: “… …” Did
he come to see Mulan specially?
Yes and no.
When hearing He Changsheng’s words, Li Shiyu was a little anxious and could not say why, but Li Shiyu attributed all this to the fact that he had not met such an interesting person as Mu Lan for a long time.
In addition, the undercurrent in Mu Wangfu was turbulent, so Li Shiyu was more worried that Mu Lan had an accident.
Plus Mu Lan to Wang shopkeeper’s arrangement, Wang shopkeeper is truthfully reported to Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu also can not help but curious Mu Lan will play what tricks.
It seems that before getting the result, if Mu Lan has an accident, Li Shiyu may feel that this is a pity.
So Li Shiyu made a special trip.
But when asked by Mu Lan, Li Shiyu was a little dumb for a moment. And Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu lightly, the smile in the eyebrows and eyes did not reach the fundus, very naturally pushed away Li Shiyu’s hand.
But at the moment when Mu Lan touched Li Shiyu, Li Shiyu suddenly pinched Mu Lan’s fingertips.
Mu Lan was quiet.
Li Shiyu had already taken the embroidery needle out of Mu Lan’s fingertips: “Huh?”
Embroidery doesn’t take embroidery needles. Does Your Highness think I’m going to murder Your Highness with embroidery needles? If I had this ability, I wouldn’t be trapped by the four lords and unable to move. Mu Lan’s face did not change color.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan for a long time.
The two are very close. This is
not the first time, but it is the first time in the candlelight, see such Mu Lan, Li Shiyu some trance, but the surface is still calm.
The more plain a face, but the more you can see the beauty of Mu Lan.
This face seems to be rewarded by God, and every gesture is a hook.
Li Shiyu used to see the beauty, in the face of Mu Lan, Adam’s apple could not help rolling, holding Mu Lan’s hand but did not seem to let go of the meaning.
“Your Highness, how long are you holding my hand?” Mu Lan asked coldly. Only then did
Li Shiyu release Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan’s hand gets free, did not look at Li Shiyu’s meaning again at all, lower the head to continue embroidering own thing. Then
Li Shiyu looked at the embroidered cloth and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Who taught you how to embroidery?”
“I don’t remember.” Mu Lan didn’t even lift her head. “There are too many embroidery girls coming and going, and I’ve long forgotten about them.”
Li Shiyu is interested in looking at a few eyes, although men do not understand embroidery, but also see the quality of Seiko line, Mu Lan hands is the top grade, looking at Mu Lan’s movements, is not only know fur.
Li Shiyu quieted down and said, “Mu Lan, how many things are there that the king doesn’t know?”
Mu Lan ignored it.
It was instinctive vigilance against Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu for Mu Lan, this man is too dangerous, dangerous to you and he said every word, may not be careful to catch Li Shiyu’s way, originally some things should not be said, but truthfully told Li Shiyu.
So keeping quiet is the way to go.
But Li Shi-yu didn’t let go of what Mu Lan meant: “You can deal with people with ease, and you can turn defeat into victory in a place like Prince Mu’s Mansion, where the imperial concubines almost have the final say.”. Uh His
voice sank, and he could not tell whether it was sternness or banter. “Can you even pretend to be ill now to deceive the royal doctor?”? Mulan, are you saying that the king has looked down on you, or are you hiding it?
Mu Lan did not answer.
“Doctor Ho is the head of the Imperial Hospital today. Apart from the ghost hand that has long disappeared, Doctor Ho’s medical skills are beyond anyone’s ability. You might as well tell the king how you managed to deceive Doctor Ho.”
Li Shiyu finished, then completely quiet down, waiting for Mu Lan to give himself a reply. The needle
in Mulan’s hand paused.
Then, the needle pricked on the embroidered cloth, Mu Lan looked up at Li Shiyu, but she did not get up, Li Shiyu did not mind.
Just looking at Mu Lan wearing thin clothes, that kind of looming feeling, let Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twisted up.
But soon, Li Shiyu hid his emotions very well.
Mu Lan looked at him calmly. “Your Highness, curiosity kills cats. Don’t you know that?”
Mu Lan, shouldn’t people who cooperate be a little more honest? Besides, Ben Wang is not a cat. Li Shiyu’s tone is calm.
Mu Lan chuckled and said, “Maybe in the folk, you can always hear some folk prescriptions and take some heretical ways. After all, the masters are in the folk.”. Even if he Yuyi is the head of the hospital, is he sure that he is the most powerful doctor in the world? Perhaps even an unorthodox way of doing things among the people would leave Dr. Ho at a loss.
Just like Mu Lan now.
But Mu Lan did not say much, can deceive He Yuyi, naturally because Gu yuanzhi is the heir of the ghost hand, and she all learned all the medical skills from Gu yuanzhi.
Nature can be like a fish in water.
Otherwise, Mu Lan would never dare to take this risk and do such a thing.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows to listen to Mu Lan’s explanation and quieted down, as if his attention had been completely attracted by the embroidered cloth in Mu Lan’s hands.
Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and asked, “Is Your Highness also interested in women’s things?”
“Embroider a purse for the king.” Li Shiyu ignored Mu Lan’s words and asked lightly.
Mu Lan laughed angrily. “Why?” Doesn’t
this man know what the purse means? How could Li Shiyu say
such words so openly and frankly.
“Why?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lan quietly. “Before you exchanged the information with the king, the contract only took effect unilaterally. The king provided you with shops and manpower. Shouldn’t you ask for some remuneration?”
Mu Lan: “… …”
This is really impossible to refute.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu and said briskly, “All right, I’ll embroider whatever your Highness wants.”
“Whatever you embroider, the king will have.” Li Shiyu said lightly.
Mu Lan is also not entangled with Li Shiyu on this topic, just as she was preparing to drive people away, suddenly, outside the window came the sound of carrier pigeons flapping their wings.
Mu Lan stood up quickly and walked towards the window.
Li Shiyu is a step faster, has opened the window edge of the gap, let the carrier pigeon fly in, tall figure to block Mu Lan behind.
Big week has entered the late autumn, although it has not yet snowed, but the temperature outside the window is getting lower and lower, a cold wind blowing, are biting cold.
Mu Lan is wearing such a little clothes, and then blowing the wind, back is not pretending to be sick, but really cold in the body.
“You don’t know how to take care of yourself?” Li Shiyu grabbed the reel that the carrier pigeon had received, and then handed it to Mu Lan, twisting his eyebrows and asking.
Mu Lan said directly, “I forgot.”
Li Shi-yu laughed angrily. “What can you remember?”
“Silver.” Mulan thought about it and gave an answer.
Li Shiyu simply did not talk to Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not mind, bowed his head and quickly looked at the letter written by shopkeeper Wang, and then, the letter was burned out by candlelight, but Li Shiyu, who had been standing all the time, did not mention a word, nor did he ask.
These things, Li Shiyu does not need to ask Mu Lan, Mu Lan said is not necessarily true. Since
Li Shiyu let Mu Lan do it, he would not interfere.
Soon, Mu Lan rewrote the note and stuffed it into the reel, and naturally handed it to Li Shiyu, indicating that Li Shiyu tied the reel to the feet of the carrier pigeon and then released it.
But Mu Lan did not even look at it, lowered his head and continued to embroider.
Li Shiyu shook his head helplessly, his thin lips rose slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were stained with a smile.
Then Li Shiyu charged the carrier pigeon again and closed the window carefully.
He did not leave, nor did Mu Lan urge him.
And Li Shiyu several times after fighting, Mu Lan is clear, Li Shiyu is not willing to do things, you try your best, it is impossible to let this person move.
What’s more, this is Mu Wangfu, Li Shiyu can not stay late, so Mu Lan is too lazy to urge, just bow their heads and do their own things seriously.
These embroideries are used when the shop opens.
Plus the works of the embroidery lady who is now working overnight, that’s enough.
What’s more, this opening, she is not in a hurry, after the Hungry Ghost Festival, come again, will naturally be able to become famous. People do business, not to earn any money, but to earn the most secure money.
……
Until Mu Lan embroidered some tired, the time is not early, Mu Lan just looked up, a look up, she saw Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
She thought Li Shiyu had gone.
The result is that he is too serious to feel the existence of Li Shiyu? Is this man still in his own house?
But when Li Shiyu saw Mu Lan raise his eyes, he suddenly looked over and asked lightly, “Why do you want the crown princess position?”
Mu Lan was quiet.
This was not the first time Li Shiyu had asked, but she had never been so serious. She sank and then said lightly, “If I say that what I want is the world of the mother instrument, the four royal Highnesses can be trusted.”
Li Shiyu is quiet, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes sharp a few minutes, but the whole Li Shiyu did not open his mouth to say anything.
Mu Lan has leisurely stood up and walked in the direction of Li Shiyu, this is not the first time Mu Lan took the initiative to approach Li Shiyu, to Li Shiyu’s standing in front of the time, Mu Lan’s eyes are gradually cold down.
“Whether it’s the crown prince or whoever, as long as I can finally ascend the throne of God, then I will marry him as a concubine.” What Mu Lan said is meaningful.
“Aren’t you afraid of playing the wrong game?” Li Shiyu was quiet for a while before he asked lightly.
Mu Lan laughed, “How do you know if you don’t try?”. Besides, if you bet wrong, you can still choose. But at the moment, I have no choice.
This has been said to death again.
Mu Lan had never been in contact with Li Shiyu in his last life, and this life could not guess why Li Shiyu had such a great interest in himself, but in such an interest, Mu Lan was always cautious, for fear of carelessly provoking unprovoked disputes. It is her goal to play it safe
and live to the end.
Besides, Li Shiyu is not a person of interest to Mu Lan.
Inside the house, it became silent again.
And Li Shiyu just looked at Mu Lan, Mu Lan did not take the initiative, nor dodge, until Li Shiyu chuckled, and then, Li Shiyu did not say a word, quickly flew out, disappeared from the front of Mu Lan. In the
huge room, there was still a faint smell of sandalwood on the man’s body.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and looked at the content of the embroidered cloth, as if it had been slightly affected by Li Shiyu, because of his words, the content of the embroidered cloth had changed. It has changed
from a totem suitable for women to a golden dragon.
Want to know, big week except Li Jia, privately embroider dragon, that is a capital offense.
But Mu Lan embroidered it. What
does it mean?
She quieted down, thinking that Li Shiyu could turn defeat into victory in this life and Li Shiyuan’s seizure of the throne? If the victory, Li Shiyu is the emperor, then she this crown princess, what is the final result?
Mu Lan suddenly hit a shiver, and then did not think about it. Without any sleepiness,
she lowered her head and carefully embroidered the golden dragon on the embroidered cloth, and received it in an absolutely safe place. Then, at dawn, Mu Lan fell asleep.
……
Three days later
, the doctor did not come, and the doctor came again, under the orders of Wang Xueshuang, to check the situation of Mu Lan.
He Xiang brought the man in, and Mu Lan changed her clothes and felt the doctor’s pulse. The doctor nodded repeatedly: “Miss Mu’s cold is all right, but after the cold, her body is a little weak, so she still needs more rest.”
“Thank you, Doctor.” Mu Lan thanked him politely and then looked at the lotus fragrance.
He Xiang immediately stepped forward and handed the silver to the doctor. “This is a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”
The doctor pushed and shoved, but finally accepted it. He knelt down to thank him and withdrew. After the doctor left,
Mu Lan did not stay in the house, and then left the snow building, went directly to the ancestral temple and Wang Xueshuang to pay his respects.
Some things, special time can not go, but usually still can not forget.
It’s a courtesy. What
Wang Xueshuang values most is courtesy.
So Mulan went. Sure enough
, when Wang Xueshuang saw Mu Lan coming, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and compared with before, he was more approachable, and he repeatedly greeted Mu Lan to sit beside him.
Mu Lan did not come early, nor did he deliberately avoid Chen Chih-jung and Mu Chih-hua. Instead, he gracefully paid his respects: “Mu Lan has seen his grandmother, the imperial concubine.” When she
looked at Mu Zhihua, she just nodded with a smile.
That attitude, as if nothing unpleasant had happened before.
Mu Zhihua wanted to sneer at Mu Lan, but in the face of such a discomfited situation, Mu Zhihua could only give a few hypocritical greetings. Compared
with Mu Zhihua’s reluctance, Chen Zhirong is a master, in the face of Mu Lan, it seems to be caring, and there is no hard feelings about what happened before.
She stood up in person and helped Mu Lan up. “Lan’s body is fine.”. I look at this face is still a little white, how to serve the people of the snow building, I will ask Mammy to send you some soup later, this body bone is good. Women, the most taboo is not having a good body.
“Mu Lan thanked the imperial concubine for her concern.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
Hypocrisy. Who wouldn’t.
In the face of Chen Zhirong’s hypocrisy, Mu Lan is also skillful. Then she walked up to Wang Hsueh-shuang, who looked at her carefully. Then she nodded and said, “Yes, the side princess is right. Your face is too pale. You should take good care of it later.”
“Thank your grandmother for her concern.” Mu Lan answered gently.
Wang Xueshuang let Mu Lan sit on his side, but asked for warmth. Mu Lan to deal with the appropriate, it is easy to bring the topic to Wang Xueshuang’s body, between the lines are concerned about Wang Xueshuang, Wang Xueshuang feel more and more happy.
A group of people with evil intentions stayed here with Wang Xueshuang for a whole morning.
It was not until Wang Xueshuang was tired that everyone stood up.
As he was about to leave, Wang Hsueh-shuang stopped Chen Chih-jung and said, “Chih-jung, I allowed Mu Lan to leave the mansion. I don’t have to report it to you. Just tell Chen the housekeeper.”
“Yes.” Chen Zhirong answered cleverly. Only then did
Wang Xueshuang wave his hand and say no more.
A group of people filed out.
Just out of Wang Xueshuang’s Yama, Mu Zhihua didn’t even bother to pretend, so he quickly left. But Chen Zhirong looked at Mu Lan, but he looked much more kind: “Mu Lan, I was oversensitive before, but in the future, we are still friendly. After all, what your grandmother doesn’t like most is to be noisy.”. What do you say?
“What the imperial concubine said was that Mu Lan obeyed her wishes.” Mu Lan’s face does not change color.
Chen Chih-jung nodded: “This Hungry Ghost Festival, I’ll ask your father to arrange the wedding for you. You can’t have your younger sister get married and you’re still in the boudoir. We don’t have such manners.”
Mulan laughs again: “Mulan obeys his father’s arrangement.”
Chen Zhirong couldn’t figure out Mu Lan’s mind.
This looks friendly on the surface, but secretly it is testing Mu Lan, with Chen Zhirong’s idea, Mu Lan before the temper, how can not refute.
As a result, Mu Lan is good words.
Now, Chen Zhirong had no way out for a while.
But Mu Lan did not stay much, and Chen Zhirong nodded to signal, toward their own courtyard, today in addition to Wang Xueshuang please, her purpose is to arrange the next thing out of the house.
As Chen Chih-jung watched Mu Lan’s departure, she quieted down and whispered to the minions around her: “Find someone to follow her. Don’t let her find out. Tell me exactly where she’s been and what she’s done.”
“Yes.” The slave took the order and hurried away. Inside
Prince Mu’s mansion, a quiet scene was restored.
