Wait for you to be willing to
Phoenix Nirvana: The road
of glory and favor of the demon queen of the country. Mu Lan is leaning quietly, still resting with his eyes closed, without the meaning of opening his eyes all the way.
Until it was obvious that Li Shiyuan was coming in his own direction. Only then did
Mu Lan open his eyes lazily, and when he looked again at the thing in Li Shiyuan’s hand, Mu Lan was clear: “Is this what Your Highness is going to give me?”
Li Shiyuan smiled and glanced down at the object in his hand, but did not deny Mu Lan’s guess.
“The wedding dress of Muzi’s embroidery room.” Li Shiyuan spoke lightly. “The king himself sent someone to nail it, in the name of the king.”
Every word, Li Shiyuan said very clearly, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes for a moment.
And the bright red wedding dress has been put into the hands of Mu Lan.
Mu Lan did not speak, looked down at the hands of the wedding clothes, above a needle and thread, she is familiar with.
Previously shopkeeper Wang to ask this matter, Mu Lan let shopkeeper Wang promised to come down, Mu Lan personally opened his mouth, shopkeeper Wang naturally did not dare to neglect, plus is the East Palace to things, this wedding dress is Li Mu and Li Yan personally needle.
After all, there is no lack of good embroidery lady in the palace, and naturally it is impossible to use defective products to perfunctory East Palace.
If something really happened, it would be a matter of heads falling to the ground, and they would not neglect it at all, and since they had taken it, they would not lose the face of the embroidery room.
Will have now Mu Lan in the hands of the wonderful wedding dress.
Just Mu Lan looked at this piece of bright red, the mind is still thinking of that night in the bedroom of Qu Huachang to see the wedding dress, suddenly, this piece of bright red but let Mu Lan feel bursts of blood, even clearly does not exist blood has become obvious. Inside the
wing, there seemed to be such a pungent smell floating in the air, which could not be dispersed for a long time.
Unconsciously, Mu Lan grabbed the hand of the wedding dress and followed it tightly, with low eyes, sitting without saying a word.
Li Shi-yuan noticed this small gesture and said, “Don’t like it?”
“No.” Mu Lan’s mood had been subdued almost instantaneously, and when he looked up at Li Shiyuan again, he smiled. “Mu Lan liked it very much, but he was a little surprised to receive a wedding dress from Muzi’s embroidery room. After all, how many girls in Kyoto were waiting in line for his clothes, not to mention the wedding dress with exquisite workmanship and the longest embroidery time.”
Mulan’s words are sincere, but they are also true.
She raised her eyes and looked at Li Shiyuan quietly, and her voice softened. In her bright eyes, it seemed that the vast starry sky was hidden. Her long eyelashes blinked like fan leaves, and then her voice softened and fell: “Mu Lan has thanked His Royal Highness the Prince.” There is no doubt about the words
of peacetime, but at the moment when Mu Lan finally said it, with a bit of seriousness and joy.
Such a reaction, all of a sudden made an appointment with Li Shiyuan’s original slightly gloomy mood.
He looked at Mu Lan for a moment.
Mu Lan was looked at by Li Shiyuan, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, but the wedding dress in his hand was still in his hand, as if he liked it very much and was reluctant to let go.
“If you like it, next time the king will let the embroiderers come to the palace. How much do you like? How much do you want them to do for you?” Li Shiyuan said it directly.
In Li Shiyuan’s view, this big week is the king of the Li family, he is a prince of the East Palace, if really want to do anything, the small embroidery room is likely to resist.
If Mu Lan likes, he will let the people of the embroidery room into the palace, this life, only allowed to make clothes for Mu Lan.
Li Shiyuan tried his best to please Mu Lan.
But when Mu Lan heard this, she twisted her eyebrows and looked at Li Shiyuan quietly, but her voice could not hear too much emotion: “Your Highness, things are precious when they are rare. What people pursue is just this kind of pleasure that they can’t get. If the embroidery lady comes to the palace and only serves Mu Lan, this dress will make people lose interest. It’s not surprising.”. Besides, isn’t there a good embroiderer in the palace?
She finished calmly: “So it’s not good to let people stay outside the palace?”
“Whatever you say.” Li Shiyuan raised his eyebrows, but continued to follow Mu Lan’s words, which was also to give Mu Lan face.
Mu Lan knew that Li Shiyuan agreed to come down, slightly relaxed, but the mood will not appear too warm, or cold light.
Just in the hands of the wedding dress has not been put down in the past.
Li Shiyuan looked down, suddenly, his hand pinched Mu Lan’s chin, half forced Mu Lan to look up at himself.
Mu Lan was somewhat passive, but he did not struggle. The place where
Li Shiyuan entered his eyes was Mu Lan’s beautiful face.
Even though a face plain, no meaning color, but it does not affect Mu Lan’s delicate and gorgeous, she did not flash more, eyes to see Li Shiyuan first.
Until Li Shiyuan bent over, thin lips to touch Mu Lan’s lips, Mu Lan then turned his head, light flash, Li Shiyuan rushed an empty.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyuan without changing his face and did not speak.
Li Shi-yuan chuckled and pinched Mu Lan tightly, his voice sinking a little: “Mu Lan, how long can you hide?”
Mu Lan said lightly, “Your Highness also said that you should make Mu Lan willing.”
She quietly took what Li Shiyuan had said earlier and put it in front of the man.
Li Shi-yuan looked at Mu Lan for a moment, and then said lightly, “Are you willing?”
Mu Lan did not answer.
“The king is waiting for your willingness.” Li Shiyuan answered word by word.
Mulan looked calm. “Thank you, Your Highness, for your help.”
Voice fell, Li Shiyuan has also left, Mu Lan did not get up, just so quietly leaning on the bed, and the hands of the wedding clothes are still quietly in front of Mu Lan, she looked for a long time, this slowly stood up, put the clothes carefully aside.
Then, Mu Lan did not return to the bed and stood by the window. The wind
outside the window is no longer the previous chill, in the big week of summer, the wind outside the window also brought a trace of hot, blow on the face.
But Mu Lan didn’t care.
Even the skin is not covered with thin beads of sweat, as if completely unaffected by such a heat wave, quiet.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s eyes sank and his eyes fell not far away. Look at it for
a moment.
At the corner, she saw the figure of Li Shiyu, who stood there silently and seemed to have noticed Mu Lan for the first time.
Mu Lan thought that Li Shiyu would turn around and walk, but this person just stood in place and watched, and did not mean to leave.
The man was wrapped in a dark robe, just like his old habits, which had never changed.
The black hair was tied into a bun at random, and the rest of the hair fluttered with the wind.
Just standing so quietly, all seem to face like crown jade, eyes like bright stars, dazzling people can not move, but it seems very low-key.
How long has not looked at this person so carefully, from that time at the bottom of the cliff, just a hasty sight of the Phoenix Palace, even with a bit of malice, can no longer be as quiet as at that time.
Mu Lan found himself suddenly a little nostalgic.
Looking at the people within reach, Mu Lan sank, suddenly turned around and left from the window.
Not far away, Li Shiyu stood motionless, when Mu Lan’s figure left in front of him, he was quiet, his eyebrows and eyes were low and deep, and the big hand behind him clenched tightly into a fist, which was a very depressed mood.
Because Li Shiyuan had come, or because in less than half a month, she was going to marry into the East Palace, so the fearless Mu Lan began to dodge and avoid suspicion?
This feeling really makes Li Shiyu feel uncomfortable. Can not
say that kind of feeling, as if the heart was severely scraped, the pain is unbearable, but there is no medicine to cure.
Then, Li Shiyu laughed sarcastically.
He just wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly keenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from his ears, this time, Li Shiyu quietly turned around and looked at the position of the wing.
……
Mu Lan had pushed the door open and walked slowly out of the wing.
She had not left for many days, and when the slaves suddenly arrived, they looked very nervous and immediately stepped forward: “Miss Mu, where are you going?”
“I’ll just walk. You go on down first. You don’t have to follow me.” Mu Lan smiled and refused coldly.
The slaves retreated according to the words, and really did not follow Mu Lan any more.
Mu Lan still appears to be cautious, walked for a while, after making sure that there is no one around, this just quietly quickened the pace, Mu Lan is walking in the direction of Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s figure to leave was firmly nailed in place, motionless. Without stopping,
Mu Lan walked step by step in the direction of Li Shiyu until he stood in front of Li Shiyu. He said lightly, “If I remember correctly, Your Highness is free to come and go wherever I live. When do you need to stand outside the door with such grievance, as if you can’t get in?” There is no irony in
this, just a calm statement of a fact.
The voice fell, but Li Shiyu, who was still in the dark, suddenly came out.
At this point, Mu Lan’s heart beat faster, is an indescribable tension.
Li Shiyu’s position is very delicate, you can see anywhere here, but it will not be easily noticed by the slaves of the Phoenix Palace.
And that position, just facing Mu Lan’s wing, Mu Lan can also see clearly in the wing.
Mu Lan spoke, just habitually met Li Shiyu, mouth cheap words, rather than really want to force Li Shiyu out of the dark.
After all, this is the Phoenix Luan Palace, and there is still no room for anyone to make mistakes. The slave
here, is not Mu Lan’s person, at any time and anywhere may happen here everything, truthfully tell the queen mother, then, can not eat in the pocket of the person is Mu Lan.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
Li Shiyu, however, did not shy away from it at all and walked forward quickly.
Subconsciously, Mu Lan retreated.
But Mu Lan’s speed where can be faster than Li Shiyu, soon, Li Shiyu has clasped Mu Lan’s hand, no longer give Mu Lan any chance to retreat.
Mu Lan watched his wrist fall into the man’s palm and quieted down. “Your Highness, this is the Phoenix Palace.”. The slaves are not far away.
Li Shiyu lifted his eyelids and said, “Do you mean that the king can do whatever he wants as long as he’s not in the Fengluan Palace?”
Mu Lan gritted his teeth, rarely at a loss for words, and stood silent.
Li Shi-yu, however, did not let go of Mu Lan’s meaning: “I’m not usually sharp-tongued, but now it’s better that I can’t say a word.”
See Li Shiyu such a teasing appearance, Mu Lan a burst of anger, but in front of this person, Mu Lan still appears to be calm, just looking at Li Shiyu, standing without saying a word.
The next moment, Mu Lan simply ignored Li Shiyu, turned around and walked toward the position of the wing.
Anyway, Li Shiyu can avoid all the people appear in the Fengluan Palace, which proves that Li Shiyu can also go out grandly, so why should Mu Lan worry.
Mu Lan knows more clearly that this is not the first day Li Shiyu appeared here.
Every day can smell the faint fragrance of the forehead sandalwood, I am afraid it is from this person, she in the wing for a few days, this person has been standing outside the wing for a few days.
Duplicity.
Mu Lan could not help the abdomen for a while, at the foot of the pace has not stopped.
Soon, Mu Lan’s wrist came a warm touch, she subconsciously bowed her head, Li Shiyu’s hand has clasped Mu Lan’s wrist, gently pulled into their own control.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and said, “Your Highness, please respect yourself.”
Li Shiyu did not pay attention to Mu Lan’s words, and the pace at his feet was slightly faster.
Suddenly, not far away a slave came, Mu Lan was frightened, backhand took the initiative to hold Li Shiyu’s hand, quickly toward the house.
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, saw Mu Lan’s movements, and then laughed out loud.
In the face of Mu Lan’s anxiety, Li Shiyu appears to be leisurely, even the pace has not become faster, a force, let Mu Lan honestly follow the side of Li Shiyu. The
former slave has also seen it.
Mu Lan’s heart beat faster and faster.
Such a blatant thing, how can slave not see clearly, she subconsciously looked at Li Shiyu, and then looked at the slave, eyebrows and eyes more than a trace of chill.
But soon, Li Shiyu’s voice came in a faint voice: “Don’t act like a fool, just go in.”
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows.
Then in Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Lan suddenly understood later.
Why Li Shiyu can be unimpeded in the Fengluan Palace, why the slaves will not find Li Shiyu again and again, because there is Li Shiyu here.
Just like the former minions.
It was after Mu Lan entered the Fengluan Palace that the eunuch in charge of the Fengluan Palace arranged to serve his own people, but unexpectedly, it was Li Shiyu’s people.
Therefore, his every move here, in fact, Li Shiyu is very clear.
Until entering the wing, Mu Lan did not open his mouth to say a word.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu was in a good mood, because Mu Lan’s movements almost swept away the previous haze: “Are you concerned about Ben Wang?” When the
voice fell, Mu Lan had been dragged to the front by Li Shiyu, passively looking at this person.
She didn’t want to admit it. “Your Highness thinks too much. I just don’t want to get myself into trouble.”
“Duplicity.” Li Shiyu answered with a faint smile.
Mu Lan also does not speak, stands, expresses own protest with the silence.
It was Li Shiyu who said lightly, “There are people from my own king in the Fengluan Palace, and almost all the people who can be placed here are from my own king.”
“Your Highness is not drawing a clear line with me. What are you doing with me now?” Mu Lan asked in reply without hesitation.
“Watch over you.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Mu Lan: “… …”
This person is really magnanimous so that people can not say a word of refutation, and finally can only be so angry to look at. But they are not willing to yield to the disadvantage. With a sneer,
Mu Lan struggled to free his hand from the man’s confinement. “Since there are four people around here, the four don’t know my situation clearly. Why does the four stand there every day?”
An unceremonious question.
Li Shiyu just looked at Mu Lan quietly, but he seemed to be silent. Before
Mu Lan took the initiative to go, he was almost close to Li Shiyu. With a frivolous look in his eyes, he said lightly, “So is this your Highness who cares about me?”
Li Shiyu is not impatient, did not admit nor recognize, still standing quietly.
Mu Lan was more annoyed by Li Shiyu’s attitude.
This person’s motionless appearance, let Mu Lan have no way, finally Mu Lan simply did not open his mouth, the atmosphere in the wing was quiet and frightening.
But Mu Lan did not open his mouth to catch up with Li Shiyu.
Each of them is in a position.
Until Li Shiyu picked up the wedding clothes that Mu Lan put aside, his eyes obviously sank, his big hands with clear joints grasped the wedding clothes, tightened, and soon there were wrinkles on the clothes.
Mu Lan-ning twisted his eyebrows and looked at it. “Your Highness, this is for women. Your Highness can’t wear it. You don’t have to look like you’re having a hard time. If you really like it, if Your Highness opens his mouth and says something, the shopkeeper Wang will naturally be able to do it for Your Highness.” Not polite
at all, also do not care about the atmosphere now,
Li Shiyu suddenly cold laugh out loud, in the hands of the wedding dress is still there, and then he turned to look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan also did not speak, but did not avoid Li Shiyu’s eyes.
“Do you need someone else to give you the wedding dress you embroidered in your own room?” Li Shiyu opened his mouth coldly, and his voice sounded calm, but between the lines it was more like sarcasm. Besides, since you want to be a crown princess, don’t you know that you can’t wear this dress at all. Mulan, how could such a cautious man as you make such a mistake?
Just as unceremoniously. With a sneer,
Mu Lan said, “Who in Kyoto doesn’t know about the clothes in Muzi’s embroidery room? It’s hard to find one.”. Since the prince is prepared, how can I disappoint people? At least the prince is willing to please me and make me happy, isn’t he? As
he spoke, Mulan settled down and said, “Since that’s the case, does it matter whether you wear it or not?” The appearance
of plausibility, so that the original looks pale little face, but more than a touch of crimson, it is not so weak, as if healthy up.
Li Shiyu’s eyebrows and eyes were slightly twisted, and he was full of a sarcastic smile. He looked at him coldly and said, “Your Royal Highness, can a wedding dress please you?”? Why doesn’t Ben Wang know that you are so easy to please now? Don’t forget, this wooden embroidery room was given to you by the king, and it’s easy for the king to take it back.
“You..” Mulan was angry for a moment, but soon calmed down.
She doesn’t want to argue with such an irrational man.
But Li Shiyu’s behavior did not make Mu Lan really angry, at best, it was just anger.
As if this person and oneself are opposite, also better than this person is indifferent.
Such an atmosphere seems to be much more popular. The depression that
pressed on his chest disappeared in an instant.
Mu Lan did not speak smoothly.
Suddenly, she gave a low cough, very light, but as if how can not stop the same, has been constantly coughing.
Li Shiyu heard it.
His eyebrows instantly twisted up, subconsciously want to go in the direction of Mu Lan, but the footsteps in the moment out, and stopped, still not salty not light to keep a distance.
He just lost his hand behind him and clenched it tightly into a fist.
Eyes flash by, with obvious worry, but only for a moment.
But Mu Lan is still coughing low, also did not pour the water to drink the meaning, the head slightly hung down, quiet silent.
Suddenly
Li Shiyu was quiet for a moment, and the pace that had stood still suddenly moved. He walked directly in the direction of Mulan.
Until the man stood in front of Mulan.
Mu Lan’s low eyebrows and eyes were the man’s black gold-inlaid boots, and then the man stood still in front of him.
Mu Lan didn’t look up.
But can see Li Shiyu’s hand suddenly raised up, with Li Shiyu’s movement, Mu Lan twisted eyebrows, homeopathy looked at this person.
And Li Shiyu’s hand finally fell on Mu Lan’s hairpin. The
voice boomed out, but every word could not have been clearer: “If you’re going to marry the prince, why are you still wearing this hairpin?”
This hairpin was sent by Li Shiyu himself, and it was also put on by Mu Lan himself.
At that time, it was not affectionate, but the two did not seem as nervous as they are now, as if many pictures of the past were constantly pouring into Li Shiyu’s mind.
In Li Shiyu’s view, since Mu Lan has cleared up the relationship, everything about herself will be destroyed cleanly and will not leave her any future trouble.
But now the man has grandly brought the hairpin into the palace.
This hairpin is not very expensive, but it is absolutely invisible in the market, as long as a little attention, it is not difficult to find out the origin of this hairpin.
Mu Lan is such a smart and cautious person that he doesn’t seem to be able to do such a risky thing.
But Mu Lan did it.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s question, smiled faintly, reached out to pull Li Shiyu’s hand out of his hair, and grabbed Li Shiyu’s hand with a slender hand.
Li Shiyu’s eyes looked at the past, and did not say anything, but also let Mu Lan grasp.
When Li Shiyu’s hand left Mu Lan’s hair, Mu Lan’s voice came coldly: “I just like it, so I wear it. It doesn’t mean anything else.”
Her explanation was very calm, as if she had said a very casual thing.
Li Shiyu listened to Mu Lan’s words and chuckled, so that people could not distinguish their emotions.
Mu Lan did not speak again, they are too close, close to let Mu Lan feel dangerous, is about to retreat, suddenly, Li Shiyu’s hand a force, re-pinched Mu Lan’s chin.
Mu Lan was stunned.
And this person’s thin lips have been covered down, she did not have time to exclaim, has been Li Shiyu’s thin lips blocked tightly.
The other hand clasped Mu Lan’s waist directly.
Separated by the material of the clothes, the two men clung to each other.
Mu Lan also only a moment of struggle, closed his eyes, slender arms very naturally around the neck of Li Shiyu, the initiative to respond to this person.
She stood on tiptoe, even a little radical.
Li Shiyu chuckled and said helplessly, “What’s the hurry?”
The voice fell, also did not give Mu Lan opportunity of anger, thin lips once again followed up. Obviously, everything has become intense, less gentle and tentative before.
It also seems that the emotions suppressed by each other during this period of time burst out in an instant.
And Mu Lan’s initiative, is undoubtedly the fire, completely ignited all the enthusiasm, endless, in such entanglement, Mu Lan was forced to the edge of the bed step by step.
A stagger, Mu Lan whole person falls on the bed.
Li Shiyu has been pressed down.
He took a big breath, and Mu Lan’s breathing was not so smooth, but his slender arm was still hooked around Li Shiyu’s neck and never loosened.
It seems that I have never been so active.
Li Shiyu’s Adam’s apple rolled, and then looked down at Mu Lan, thin lips heavily kissed up, Mu Lan some eat pain, but did not open his mouth, but forcefully bit the man back.
Soon, Mu Lan has tasted the breath of blood between his lips and teeth.
She is very clear, this is Li Shiyu’s hand, Li Shiyu eat pain also did not loosen Mu Lan, until each other’s chest no longer fresh air, breathing is difficult, Li Shiyu suddenly loosened Mu Lan.
Two people’s clothes become messy, but also intact in the body.
Quiet wing, only the sound of each other’s breathing, heavy came.
Then, Li Shiyu stood up straight, and quickly opened the distance between himself and Mu Lan, quickly tidied up the messy clothes, and after a while, Li Shiyu was the image of a handsome young man.
Instead, Mu Lan seemed not to mind, lying down.
It was not until the breath calmed down that Mu Lan got up slowly and did not shy away from Li Shiyu tidying up his clothes quietly.
In the bronze mirror, Mu Lan could clearly see the obvious traces left on his chest.
This is after she bit Li Shiyu’s lip, Li Shiyu retaliated himself without hesitation. The
clothes were also messed up by Li Shiyu at that time.
This position, ambiguous visible, slightly careless will be seen clearly, Li Shiyu is intentional, Mu Lan is very clear.
But Mu Lan did not stop, laissez-faire this person’s behavior.
It seemed that after the previous intense emotions, the atmosphere in the wing quieted down again, and no one took the initiative to speak again, nor did Li Shiyu explain his previous actions.
Mu Lan did not care, until she put on her clothes, she slowly stood up and walked step by step to the front of Li Shiyu. The corners of
Li Shiyu’s mouth were still broken.
Mu Lan was quiet, suddenly stretched out his hand and carefully dealt with the wound at the corner of Li Shiyu’s mouth, but it seemed to be of no help.
Li Shiyu didn’t stop him either. For
a long time, until Mulan gave up, she said directly: “I have bitten the Fourth Royal Highness, and the Fourth Royal Highness has retaliated. We are even.”
Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.
And Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu quietly, very let very light very light smile, she carefully Li Shiyu has not tidied up the corner of the clothes also tidied up.
Only then did she calmly say, “Your Highness, no matter what my future status is, Your Highness can rest assured that I will never do anything wrong to Your Highness.”
Li Shiyu did not respond, but looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan smiled faintly, but did not continue to go around the topic. The
wing is still quiet.
“Your Royal Highness.” Until Mu Lan suddenly broke the silence again.
Li Shiyu hum, motioned Mu Lan to continue to say.
“The emperor has very rarely passed on the crown prince recently. Instead, he has been letting the four and nine lords into the palace. The people in the palace are also talking in private, and they can’t figure out what the emperor’s intentions are.”
Mu Lan lightly mentioned the recent events in the palace. People in
the harem don’t care about the court, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know.
What’s more, Li Changtian’s behavior, in everyone’s eyes, is to be indifferent to the prince, weaken the power of the prince, but to distribute the power in his hands to Li Shiyu and Li Shili, who usually look unremarkable.
All of a sudden, the undercurrent of the palace surged.
Everyone is guessing, but they dare not talk openly. If
you say that Li Changtian began to decentralize, but Li Shili and Li Shiyu’s power is far from the prince, if the prince is not taken seriously, but many things still need to ask the prince.
It’s just that Li Changtian is not so intimate with Li Shiyuan, and he has a sense of distance.
And between the three princes, also seems to be a school of its own, the surface of peace, but how can not stop the intense undercurrent.
Mu Lan understood what Li Changtian meant, but he did not know what the situation was now.
On the contrary, Li Shiyu listened quietly to Mu Lan’s words and said lightly, “Are you concerned about the king or the crown prince, or about your position as crown princess?”
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu frankly: “There are both the former and the latter.”
The implication is that there is no middle.
This answer let Li Shiyu’s eyebrows twist up, some do not understand the meaning of Mu Lan.
You know, Li Shiyu’s crown prince is gone, and Mu Lan can’t be the crown princess. So Mu Lan’s words made Li Shiyu a little confused.
Mu Lan wanted the position of Crown Princess, but his attitude towards Li Shiyuan was not very good. At first, Li Shiyu thought it was Mu Lan’s way of retreating and advancing, but now he found that it did not seem to be the case.
This matter, Mu Lan covered with layers of veil, how can not let people peep into it.
But no matter how Li Shiyu asked this question, Mu Lan never gave a reasonable answer and let all the people guess.
Li Shiyu’s face had already returned to indifference. He stood with his hands on his back and said lightly, “The prince will still be the prince. He was trained by his father. He won’t let go easily.”. In the whole week, the person who is most like the father emperor is the prince. It’s just that compared to his father, the prince is even more ruthless and aggressive.
Mulan listened quietly.
“Your father is now terminally ill. You let Feng Changyang enter the palace, but you know very well in your heart that Feng Changyang entered the palace only to find a helper for you in the palace. You also know very well about your father’s illness. Everything now is just a matter of delaying time, sooner or later.”
Li Shi-yu looks at the clear and bright: “Mu Lan, when a person is in the position of emperor, there is always greed. He doesn’t want to come down until the last moment, and he doesn’t want to hand over to someone else. Even if this person is the heir, it’s the same. The father is the same, and he won’t give up the position easily.”
「……」
The more anxious I am, the more I want to occupy everything now. And the prince can’t wait. The prince has waited too long, so he’s ready to move. Li Shiyu did not hide anything from Mu Lan, but quietly explained, “And the prince’s readiness to move made his father even more uneasy.”. He doesn’t want to be forced to abdicate one day. So he deliberately snubbed the prince.
……
In Li Shiyu’s words, Mu Lan understood that her guess was still somewhat simple.
So in fact, what you and the nine princes have in your hands, that is, it doesn’t matter. Most of the power is still in the hands of the emperor. The emperor snubbed the crown prince, not because he wanted to give up the crown prince, nor because he wanted you to really seize the throne, but because he wanted the crown prince to calm down and understand what he was doing, just like before, and listen to the emperor’s arrangement cleverly, so in the end, the throne of the emperor is still the crown prince.
Mu Lan was suddenly enlightened.
Li Shiyu murmured, “The father emperor is the Victor of the throne. He has tasted too much blood during this period. Even on the throne, he cannot sleep day and night. This is the difference between the father emperor and the crown prince.”. There is still a trace of pity in my father’s heart, but he is only greedy for power. As
he spoke, Li Shiyu chuckled and said sarcastically, The crown prince is completely different from his father. The crown prince is ruthless, which is beyond the reach of his father. Therefore, no matter what the emperor’s arrangements are, no matter how he thinks about it, I’m afraid he can’t avoid it. The
rest, Li Shiyu did not say. But
Mu Lan understood. I’m afraid
forced abdication is close at hand.
In the last life, Li Shiyuan was also forced to abdicate.
Mu Lan sank and did not speak. For a long time, she looked at Li Shiyu and said, “What about Your Highness?”
Li Shiyu naturally knew the meaning of Mu Lan’s words. He looked down at Mu Lan and suddenly pinched Mu Lan’s chin again. “Aren’t you waiting for the day when you’re down and out and the king picks you up?”
Mulan smiled. “Mulan is waiting.”
Li Shiyu hum, said nothing. He took a deep look at Mu Lan, the sky outside has gradually sunk down, Li Shiyu naturally can not stay in the wing.
No matter how many people here are Li Shiyu’s people, it is impossible for him to be his own people in the whole Fengluan Palace.
In such a time of panic, staying is an endless risk.
Li Shiyu is not stupid enough to ignore the situation.
Soon, he turned to leave, and did not say much to Mu Lan, Mu Lan looked at the figure of the man leaving, wanted to open his mouth to stop him, and finally swallowed the words to his mouth.
Stand quietly.
When Li Shiyu was about to reach the door, suddenly, Mu Lan’s footsteps quickly followed up, and when he was slender, he grasped Li Shiyu’s hand and exerted himself slightly.
Li Shiyu’s footsteps stopped and looked down at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan looked up at the man, but said nothing.
And Li Shiyu did not speak, still looking down, until Li Shiyu with a thin cocoon of finger pulp gently rubbed Mu Lan’s cheek, and finally stopped at the eyelids.
Mu Lan still did not move.
“What do you want to say to the king?” Li Shiyu’s tone became gentle unconsciously.
Mu Lan shook his head.
Li Shi-yu smiled, and then said very clearly: “Wait for me.”
The man used [me], not [Ben Wang].
Mu Lan listens, also follow light laugh out loud, did not say what.
Li Shiyu also does not mind, took back his hand, very calmly walked toward the wing outside.
Then, she quietly watched Li Shiyu quietly left, until the figure of this person completely disappeared in the eyes of Mu Lan, she closed the window.
Previously, she wanted to remind Li Shiyu to pay attention to Li Shili, a person who had never appeared in the previous life, but eventually she swallowed the words on her lips.
Now the situation is not clear, and Li Shili has always appeared after the last life, Mu Lan does not know, if she can change history, will also change the trajectory of Li Shili.
More importantly, no matter what purpose and idea Li Shili has, it is an indisputable fact that Li Shili has helped several times.
Without Li Shili, I’m afraid Mu Lan would have been involved in right and wrong earlier, instead of being alone now.
So when the words came to his lips, Mulan swallowed them.
But in the wing room, very quickly restored the quiet, Mu Lan as if after Li Shiyuan and Li Shiyu came one after another, that kind of tired feeling also followed obviously.
She was in a trance, and soon returned to the bedside, and soon fell asleep.
And in the nightmare, the original seemingly blurred picture, but gradually began to clear, but Mu Lan is still not clear, the picture has changed, the chaos of war.
It was a bloody and cruel thing to seize the throne in the last life.
This nightmare lasted for a long time.
It was not until Mu Lan pierced Li Shiyu’s chest with his power that Mu Lan woke up from such a nightmare, and his mouth was full of fishy sweetness. The corners of
Mu Lan’s mouth had oozed blood.
It’s a nightmare, but it’s like being in it.
Mulan gasped for breath for a long time before she calmed down from such a mood, and then she sat up and said nothing for a long time.
The whole Fengluan Palace seemed quiet.
……
A few days later
, Mu Lan spent seven days in the wing, which really recovered, and Ji Jang Geum’s medicine was delivered on time every day, even in person.
Mu Lan will give the daily prescription to Li Changtian to Ji Jang Geum, Ji Jang Geum will convey. For the
rest, they didn’t talk.
It wasn’t until Ji Jang Geum felt Mu Lan’s pulse that he found that Mu Lan’s pulse condition was getting more and more stable. This was really a sigh of relief: “From tomorrow, I don’t need to take these. Miss Mu, what do you think?”? But I will still go to the Phoenix Temple every other day.
“Thank you.” Mu Lan nodded his head.
After that, Ji Jang Geum did not stay in the Feng Luan Palace and left in a hurry. After Ji Jang Geum left,
Mu Lan did not stay in the wing, but went directly to the main hall and paid his respects to the queen mother. When
the Empress Dowager saw Mu Lan coming, she looked at him carefully and nodded with satisfaction. “He looks much better. That’s how he looks.”
“Mu Lan thanked the empress for her concern. If it hadn’t been for the empress, Mu Lan wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.” Mu Lan Fu Fu body, quiet finish has already walked toward the queen mother. It is
still natural to take over the hands of the slaves, bow their heads and do it quietly, and did not say a word more, nor any refusal.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, “Lan’er is so strong. I just like the mourning family.”. Although his mouth is not very sweet, he is a man who does things in a down-to-earth manner.
Mu Lan smiled gently. Everything is
arranged in good order.
But they don’t take credit for it.
The queen mother likes Mu Lan this strength, but such Mu Lan, the queen mother is not not worried, but such worries, the queen mother finally put down.
In her opinion, Mu Lan’s cleverness will not set himself on fire.
……
Suddenly, the little eunuch hurried in from outside the Hall of Phoenix and Luan, saying in a low voice, “Tell the Empress that Miss Yi is here.”
“Oh?” The queen mother is a little strange.
Even Mu Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn’t expect Mu Zhihua to come back. According to Mu Lan’s understanding of Mu Zhihua, under such circumstances, Mu Zhihua is bound to hide safely in the East Palace, protecting the fetus in the belly, and there is any abnormality on the surface. The position of the
Crown Princess can not be kept, but the child in the belly is the last gold medal of Mu Zhihua. If the child is born, a lot of things are hard to say.
What’s more, Mu Lan in the Phoenix Luan Palace, is a well-known thing, Mu Zhihua can not not know. Are
you still here so brazenly?
Mu Lan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then chuckled.
She looked quietly at the entrance.
The Empress Dowager’s voice came faintly: “Miss Yi has been in the East Palace since she got pregnant. She lives in seclusion. Even the Empress seldom goes there. Why did she suddenly come to the Ai family?”
Maggie answered quietly, “The maidservant can’t figure it out.”. Perhaps when Miss Yi’s condition stabilizes, she’ll come to pay her respects to the empress. After all, Miss Yi has been watched by the empress.
The queen mother nodded and put down her teacup. “Go ahead.”
The little eunuch ran out at once.
Mu Lan also did not evade, standing in place.
After a while, Mu Zhihua had followed the little eunuch in, but with two slaves beside him, he looked cautious.
Mu Lan did not look at the trace of a look, some ridicule, because Mu Lan’s look, Mu Zhihua instantly became particularly nervous.
Subconsciously protect your stomach with your hands.
But on the surface, Mu Zhihua calmly paid his respects to the queen mother.
The queen mother waved her hand and said, “All right, don’t pay your respects like this.”. There’s going to be an accident, and the Ai family can’t afford it. If someone comes, give Miss Yi a seat.
The slave soon brought the stool.
Mu Chih-hua thanked her and sat down carefully. Then he said, “The Empress Dowager, I’ve come to pay my respects to you as soon as I know the painting is better.”
“You have a heart.” The queen mother nodded, but her voice was neither salty nor light.
Mu Zhihua is some carefully looking at the queen mother, afraid of a careless to offend the queen mother, after all, unmarried pregnancy into the East Palace is a fact, before Palace of Gathered Elegance, although there is no evidence, just Su Qiaoqiao opened his mouth to say, but Mu Zhihua is also very clear, how can not guess with the queen mother’s cleverness.
After all, there is no smoke without fire.
So Mu Zhihua can’t figure out the queen mother’s mind, so he can only be careful.
But Mu Lan glanced at Mu Zhi’s painting for the invisible.
Mu Zhi painting month is still small, plus Mu Zhi painting itself is thin, now simply can not see pregnant, but Mu Lan, this posture, but as if the world does not know in general.
Not the Crown Princess, but already has the posture of the Crown Princess.
I really didn’t put myself in the eye.
Only occasionally Mu Lan caught the eyes of Mu Zhihua, but in the eyes of Mu Zhihua, he saw his own panic.
Mu Lan sneered in his heart. How can
Mu Zhihua not be afraid.
Just the surface, Mu Lan is not obvious, but quietly listening to Mu Zhihua and the queen mother chatting about insignificant things, also did not open his mouth, and Mu Zhihua did not say hello.
After all, Mu Lan is not used to sticking his hot face to someone else’s cold ass.
But Mu Lan is very clear, Mu Zhihua today to Fengluan Palace, I am afraid not to please so simple.
She was quiet, and her standing figure suddenly shook. “How are you, Miss Mu?” Said the minion on
one side, who was quick with his eyes and quick with his hands.
Mu Lan nodded, and the Empress Dowager and Mei Ji also looked over. Then the Empress Dowager said, “Look at the memory of the Ai family. You have just recovered from a serious illness. The Ai family will let you stand here.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s Mulan.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly.
“All right, you go back and rest first. Just pay your respects in the morning. You don’t need to make a special trip to stay here again. There are still so many slaves here. If something happens, the Ai family will call you.” The queen mother waved her hand, but there was concern for Mu Lan between the lines.
Mu Lan’s red lips moved and wanted to say something more.
But Mei Ji had already looked over and said, “Miss Mu, since the empress has said so, you should go back and rest. Don’t let Xu’s efforts be in vain.”
“Then Mu Lan is more respectful than obedient.” Mu Lan put down the thing in the hand, light mouth is also not affectation and reluctantly.
It seems to be really uncomfortable.
After that, Mu Lan stood up and walked towards the outside of the Phoenix Hall. When he passed Mu Zhihua, Mu Lan just raised his eyebrows and glanced at them lightly. There was a trace of invisible provocation in his eyebrows and eyes, but he soon went down and left calmly.
Mu Zhihua’s heart beat faster and his palms were sweaty in an instant.
But she didn’t dare to look at Mulan.
Almost passively, Mu Zhihua sat in place and chatted with the queen mother for a while.
Then she thought of an opportunity and said, “Empress, I know that my sister has been ill recently and has been convalescing.”. You see, Zhihua has not been able to come to see his sister for so long in the palace, and he feels a little sorry. So, after a while, Zhihua wants to go to see his sister and accompany her to talk about herself. After all, my sister will soon marry into the East Palace. So I asked the Empress for permission.
Mu Zhihua no matter how this person’s conduct, the etiquette of the palace is not left behind.
Reading between the lines will not give people an uncomfortable feeling, even if they know that Mu Zhi’s painting has a purpose. Naturally,
the Empress Dowager could hear it: “That’s right, you sisters should have a good chat.”. Lan’s health is not good, do not disturb too long on the line. After all, this is the Feng-luan Palace. If Lan’er really had an accident in the Ai family, the Ai family would be to blame.
This is neither salty nor light, as if to follow the words of Mu Zhihua, but between the lines is a warning to Mu Zhihua not to act arbitrarily. How could
Mu Zhihua not hear it.
She gritted her teeth ruthlessly, but on the surface she was still respectful: “Know the painting and remember the teachings of the empress.”
“Go.” The queen mother waved her hand.
Mu Zhi painted a blessing, and then, accompanied by the slave, walked toward Mu Lan’s wing.
On the contrary, the queen mother looked at Mu Zhihua quietly and did not speak.
Mei Ji was quiet for a moment before she said, “Don’t worry, Empress. This is the Palace of Phoenix and Luan. The slave thought, Miss Yi still has a sense of propriety.”
“The child who knows how to draw is just too ambitious.” The queen mother shook her head. “By hook or by crook.”
Mei Ji nodded, “I thought, if Miss Yi were a wise person, she would know how to quit while she’s ahead.”. If you come to the Feng-luan Temple today, I’m afraid there will be many people who take a soft attitude and ask for peace.
The queen mother gave a hum.
Maggie naturally handed the tea up, and then changed the subject without any trace. Inside the
Feng Luan Palace, it looks calm and peaceful.
……
At that moment,
Mu Zhihua had already reached the door of the wing. She looked at the slave behind her and said coldly, “Wait here.”
“The slave obeys.” The slave took a few steps back consciously.
When Mu Zhihua stood at the door of the wing, the little eunuch immediately greeted him. “Miss Yi, Miss Mu is waiting for you in the room.”
This made Mu Zhihua’s heart skip a beat again. It seems that everything is prepared by Mulan.
Walking to the door of the wing, the footsteps stopped involuntarily, which was a kind of unconscious fear. Mu Zhihua is not a person who has no mind to take the initiative to go to Fengluan Palace, through the reason of Mu Lan’s illness, nothing more than to please.
Cozying up doesn’t mean really compromising.
People should know how to advance and retreat, and how to endure humiliation.
Plus now Mu Lan is in the limelight, she is almost difficult in the East Palace, once Mu Lan married into the East Palace, the results can be imagined.
Mu Zhihua sank, and when she was not finally sure, whether it was a mountain of knives or a scourge in the door, Mu Zhihua had to go in.
Then, Mu Zhihua took a step forward, and the slave had pushed the door open for Mu Zhihua.
When Mu Zhihua walked into the palace, the slave carefully closed the door of the wing, and the sound of closing the door behind Mu Zhihua made the feeling of tension in Mu Zhihua’s heart more and more obvious. Terri
ble.
But Mu Lan in the room is like a person who has nothing to do, where there is a sense of weakness in the main hall of Fengluan Palace, instead, he is calmly making tea on the wooden table, not even lifting his eyelids, not to mention looking at Mu Zhihua.
Mu Chih-hua gritted his teeth, a little reluctant, but took the initiative to say hello: “Chih-hua has seen my sister.” Then
Mu Lan lifted her eyelids slightly and said, “Miss Yi, pay your respects to me.”? I can’t do that. You know, Miss Yi is the eldest son of the prince. If something happens, I can’t afford it.
Mu Lan’s attitude is very cold, also did not let Mu Zhihua sit down the meaning.
Mu Zhihua was said by Mu Lan, subconsciously on the hands to protect the stomach, is really afraid of Mu Lan to do anything to themselves, after all, Mu Lan has nothing to do.
Remembering what had happened to Mu Wangfu, Mu Zhihua could not help but shiver, and suddenly regretted coming to Mu Lan now, but at this point, Mu Zhihua had no room to retreat, even if he regretted it, he had to go on.
“What did my sister say?” Mu Zhihua’s voice was gentle and soft, as if he had suffered a great grievance. There is no place to sit
around, but the place to sit is close to Mu Lan, and Mu Zhihua really doesn’t have the courage to get close to Mu Lan.
Instead, Mu Lan made tea and looked at Mu Zhihua. “Is Miss Yi going to stand and talk to me?”? I’m not used to looking up and talking to people, and my neck is sore.
Mu Lan said directly, not at all polite.
This, originally stood in the doorway Mu Zhihua thoroughly appeared passive up, immediately toward the direction of Mu Lan, found a farthest stool to sit down.
Mu Lan also just took a look, faint smile, eyebrows and eyes are full of sarcasm.
No concealment.
But Mu Lan took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Mu Zhihua and put it in front of Mu Zhihua: “Since you are pregnant, it’s not appropriate to drink tea, so drink water.”
Mu Zhihua didn’t move.
I dare not move at all.
I always think what Mu Lan will do.
That feeling of paranoia can almost easily drive Mu Zhihua to the state of being possessed by the devil.
But when Mu Lan saw that Mu Chih-hua was not moving, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Yi, there’s no poison in this water.” As she spoke, she half smiled. “When I really want to attack Miss Yi, I won’t use such dirty tricks. Besides, ten thousand steps back, this is the Phoenix and Luan Palace. The slaves all watch Miss Yi walk into my house with their eyes open. If something happens, I can’t get away with this crime.” As
he spoke, Mu Lan chuckled, “Or does Miss Yi think I look so stupid?”? Do you do things without thinking?
Mu Chih-hua: “..”
I was criticized and I couldn’t speak. Between the lines, Mu Lan seemed to be satirizing his previous act of poisoning Mu Lan. Mu Zhihua really hated him so much that he gnashed his teeth, but he dared not do anything to Mu Lan.
Finally, he could only pick up the cup indignantly, take a sip, and put it aside.
It happened that Mu Lan was still fanning the flames: “I dare to drink a mouthful, but I dare not continue to drink.”? It’s really poisonous. Believe me, this one could kill you, too.
Mu Zhihua instantly cold sweat, and then look at the clear water in front of him, the whole person is not good.
But on the surface, Mu Chih-hua remained calm: “Sister, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that I’m really not thirsty.”
“Whatever you want.” Mu Lan was very light. Then he put down his teacup and looked at Mu Lan. “Tell me, what do you want me to do?” In
contrast to Mu Lan’s directness, Mu Chih-hua still seems gentle and gentle: “I came to see my sister. I heard that my sister was not in good health these days, so I came here specially to see her.”
“Have you come to see me, or have you come to prepare for peace?” Mu Lan’s playful rhetorical question.
Mu Chih-hua: “..” She smiled awkwardly. “Look at what you said, sister.”. You will soon marry into the East Palace, we have to serve the prince together, of course, is to be good, the total can not let people see a joke. In the past, when I was doing things, I didn’t know what to do, so I asked my sister not to remember.
Mu Lan listens, that attitude is a little cold, but also the face does not change color, let a person completely guess the idea of Mu Lan at the moment. The more
Mu Zhihua said, the more nervous he became.
But Mu Lan seemed to have no intention of opening his mouth.
Mu Chih-hua steeled himself and went on to say, “My elder sister has a lot of things. Don’t haggle with Chih-hua. Chih-hua will be obedient and sensible in the future. Chih-hua will do whatever my elder sister says. He won’t do anything wrong to my elder sister.”
If we say that the former is to sue for peace, now it sounds like begging for mercy.
Mu Lan smiled and looked at Mu Zhihua, as if the original expressionless face had become moved and gentle.
But under such tenderness, what hides is the indifference in Mu Lan’s eyes. How could
she be soft-hearted because of a few words from Mu Zhihua? What kind of person is Mu Zhihua? Where would Mu Lan not know. The
present Mu Zhi painting is very much like the Mu Zhi painting of the previous life.
Always after mercilessly gave Mu Lan a knife, again gently looked at Mu Lan, said the words appeared innocent to the extreme. All the disasters let Mu Lan take the blame alone, but he stayed out of it.
To make peace and please is just to lower the guard.
Mu Lan restrained his emotions, and when he opened his mouth again, Mu Lan’s attitude was obviously much softer, as if he believed Mu Zhihua’s words.
We are sisters. How can I blame my sister. My sister is more familiar with the East Palace than I am. It’s better to help more in the future. You can’t let people see the jokes of Prince Mu’s mansion.
Mu Lan answered hypocritically.
Mu Lan has countless ways to kill Mu Zhi painting, but not now, in Mu Lan’s view, that way is too cheap Mu Zhi painting, Mu Zhi painting last life to do everything to oneself, even if let Mu Zhi painting go to hell a hundred times is not enough.
Besides, it’s such a gentle way.
She wanted Mu Zhihua to be in torture, unable to survive and unable to die.
But Mu Zhihua heard Mu Lan’s words, and then looked at Mu Lan’s gentle eyes, this mind just followed down, the heart can not help but Mu Lan sneer.
In Mu Zhihua’s opinion, Mu Lan is stupid.
As long as you give some sunshine, it will be brilliant.
…… The two people,
each with their own thoughts, chatted in the wing, both of which were insignificant, with a sister on the left and a sister on the right, looking very intimate.
It wasn’t until Mu Lan looked a little tired that Mu Chih-hua stood up and naturally protected his stomach. Then he said goodbye: “Sister, I’d better rest. You see, I’ve been quarreling with my sister here for such a long time. It’s Chih-hua who doesn’t understand.”
“No.” Mu Lan smiles. “I’m also very happy that Chih-hua can chat with me.”
Mu Zhihua also smiled gently at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan had no intention of leaving Mu Zhihua. Mu Zhihua also turned around and walked out. Just as Mu Zhihua turned around, Mu Lan suddenly remembered something: “That’s right.”
Mu Zhihua’s footsteps, that kind of subconscious tension followed.
But she still turned around and looked at Mu Lan cleverly, because she was nervous and her palms could not help sweating.
As a result, Mu Zhihua did not expect that Mu Lan just turned around, took something from the cabinet, and then walked towards Mu Zhihua.
Mu Chih-hua opened his mouth quietly and looked at Mu Lan tentatively. “Sister, what is this?”
“You see, I’ve forgotten all about it. The prince will blame me later.” Mu Lan said with a smile, even the smile is particularly sincere.
“Prince?” Mu Zhihua is not clear, but because of the sudden arrival of the prince, and let her heart beat faster.
You know, although Mu Zhihua lives in the East Palace, but now she is not as good as Li Shiyuan’s concubines in the East Palace. In terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, Mu Zhihua has not suffered any grievance. There are all kinds of scenes and slaves. But since he entered the palace and went out for Mu Lan’s accident, Li Shiyuan warned him that Mu Zhihua had never seen Li Shiyuan again.
East Palace who does not know that Mu Zhihua is a person who is not favored, even want to order slaves, but also not so comfortable, such a day, every day let Mu Zhihua hate gnash his teeth.
But there was nothing I could do.
After all, now for Mu Zhihua, the most important thing is to protect the meat in his stomach and avoid accidents.
After all, those concubines in the East Palace are not fuel-efficient.
Mu Zhihua is unwilling and unable to oppose those people now.
“Yes.” Mu Lan’s voice suddenly came, smiling, and she had already opened the red cap in her hand, revealing the wedding dress inside. “This is what the prince has prepared for his sister, but it’s not easy for the prince to pull down his face and talk to his sister, so this matter is in my hands.”
Mu Lan’s voice was still gentle: “After all, the Empress Dowager has ordered that the side imperial concubine should be appointed after the crown princess. I thought that this wedding dress would not be given to my sister until I entered the East Palace. Now it’s just right that it should be given in advance.”. This is a wedding dress that the prince has prepared for his sister, and I think she will like it.
This, Mu Lan said the true and false difficult to distinguish.
But the eyebrows and eyes are full of sincerity. Looking at Mu Zhihua
again, her hand sent forward, Mu Zhihua passively took over.
“It’s a wedding dress from Muzi’s embroidery room. How many girls in Kyoto couldn’t get it? The prince was able to personally ask someone from Muzi’s embroidery room to make one. It shows that the prince really cares about you.” Mu Lan is simply lying. “If I remember correctly, my sister has always liked the clothes in Muzi’s embroidery room, but the embroidery room has never made them for her.” It’s
half sweet, half funny, and half sarcastic.
All the emotions are integrated into an emotion, Mu Lan said the export, so that Mu Zhihua surprised and happy, completely some reaction can not come over.
Li Shiyuan’s three words easily diluted Mu Zhihua’s vigilance.
Too long did not get Li Shiyuan’s favor, so that Mu Zhihua some feelings can not help it.
She didn’t suspect anything at all. She looked at Mulan with a laugh and said, “Thank you, sister.”
“It should be.” Mu Lan smiled. “Now that the prince has thought of letting me change hands on this matter, naturally he won’t want his sister to ask questions on her own initiative. Just wait for the day when the imperial concubine is standing on her side. When her sister puts it on, a lot of things will go smoothly.”
Mu Lan’s words are full of sincerity.
Mu Zhihua nodded repeatedly.
Then Mu Lan went on to say, “Then I won’t keep my sister, and I won’t send her far away.”
“Chih-hua thanked his sister.” Mu Zhihua said again.
Mu Lan nodded, the slaves have opened the door, she personally sent Mu Zhi painting to the door, to the hands of the slave who sent Mu Zhi painting, standing in the doorway, quietly watching Mu Zhi painting leave, her low eyebrows and eyes, hidden deep meaning.
Mu Lan found that the upcoming wedding seemed to have become less annoying.
Why let the embroidery room take the list of the East Palace, and even this dress is made according to the figure of Mu Zhihua, not himself.
Because the best is yet to come.
Mu Zhihua is eager to repair her relationship with Li Shiyuan, but she will never know that this move will only make her fall into hell step by step. It is wrong to please
the enemy. It is
easy to believe the enemy’s words because of external factors, which is a mistake on top of a mistake.
Mu Lan smiled coldly, having long lost the patience of dealing with Mu Zhihua before, and the cruelty in his eyebrows and eyes was obvious.
And this move, not only appeased Mu Zhihua, but also let the queen mother see in the eyes, after all, now the situation in the palace is not clear, in the queen mother’s heart, family and everything is the first to know.
Mu Zhihua’s actions, but did not let Mu Lan remember, but personally sent people out, sisters talk very happily, will only let the queen mother feel Mu Lan sensible.
This is beneficial to Mu Lan.
She stood quietly in place, watching the figure of Mu Zhihua disappear, Mu Lan then turned into the wing, the door of the wing closed again.
…… The days that
followed were much more peaceful, and there were no more storms.
Apart from dealing with Li Shiyuan, Mu Lan spent most of his time with the queen mother, while Xu Luochen followed Mei Ji all the time, learning the rules of the palace, and they only chatted a few words during the afternoon break.
But after entering the palace, the little girls who had appeared to be chattering were much quieter.
This deep palace looks full of vitality, but as long as you come, you can clearly feel the gloom visible to the naked eye. People who
can press can’t breathe.
But Xu Luochen’s liveliness is incompatible with this deep palace. It is not surprising that the temper is
slowly worn down.
Feng Luan Palace is not Xu Luochen’s final destination, where she will go, Mu Lan can not guess, but they also seem to have a tacit understanding, never mention the future, as if there is only everything in front of us. Three days before the
big wedding, according to the big week tradition, Mu Lan naturally can not stay in the palace, but to return to Mu Wang Fu, the big wedding day, Li Shiyuan will personally go to Mu Wang Fu to welcome the bride, and then pick up Mu Lan into the palace.
Naturally, Mu Lan left the palace.
Out of the palace gate, Mu Lan looked at the red walls and tiles behind him, did not speak for a long time, low eyebrows and eyes, hidden deep meaning, and then no longer look, quickly turned into the carriage. The
carriage moved slowly, and the sound of the wheel hub became clear on the flagstone road.
Mu Lan sat quietly without saying a word.
This deep palace, when it comes in again, is a lifetime, is a bloody storm.
She closed her eyes to sleep, did not open her mouth to say a word, until the carriage stopped in front of Mu Wangfu, because Mu Lan came back, Chen butler and Hexiang had been waiting outside the palace early.
Seeing the carriage stop, Chen butler immediately stepped forward, Hexiang lifted the curtain, put the low stool, and personally helped Mu Lan out of the car. In
that voice, there was a visible joy: “Young lady, you are back.”. I want to kill my maidservant.
Mu Lan hadn’t seen Hexiang for more than a month, but when he saw Hexiang’s bright smile, he couldn’t help chuckling and flicking Hexiang’s forehead: “I’m not in the house. You didn’t embarrass me, did you?”
“The maidservant doesn’t dare. She’s just doing her best to clean up the snow and wait for the young lady to come back.” Hexiang opened her mouth mischievously. The depressing atmosphere in the
palace, as if in the lively lotus fragrance, suddenly disappeared.
Mu Lan’s mood followed a lot of carefree.
She looked to one side at Chen, who had already respectfully said, “I’ve seen the eldest lady.”
“These days there is a steward, Lao Chen.” Mu Lan is sincerely grateful. “This is what a slave should do,”
Chen said dutifully. The slave knows that when you come back today, you have prepared what you like to eat and some things you can use easily.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered.
They did not say much at the gate of Prince Mu’s mansion, and were soon welcomed into the mansion by the slaves.
Mu Hongyuan knew that when Mu Lan came back, he would naturally be in the mansion, and he was about to get married. During this period of time, Mu Hongyuan seldom left the mansion. When
Mu Lan came back, he did not immediately return to Xuelou, but went to the main building and Mu Hongyuan to pay his respects, and then turned around and went to the ancestral temple to pay his respects to Wang Xueshuang. The person who
came out to meet Mu Lan was Mammy Li.
Mu Lan nodded and said, “Mammy, how is grandma?”
“The old lady’s condition is not very good. The doctor has come and gone several times, but the effect is very little. Recently, the old lady has been good and bad, and she is a little confused when she is sober, but she can still ask about you from time to time.”
Mu Lan nods her head and looks serious. Then she quietly walks toward the ancestral temple. “I’m going to see my grandmother.”
“The old lady must be very happy to know you’re back.” Mammy Li had tears in her eyes.
Mu Lan did not speak, quickly toward the ancestral temple, after a while, Mu Lan saw Wang Xueshuang.
Wang Xueshuang lies on the bed, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, originally appears withered and thin hand, now can only touch the bone.
Mu Lan’s brows were twisted.
Mingming last life, Wang Xueshuang did not leave so early, and this life, looking at the situation, Mu Lan is very clear, I am afraid Wang Xueshuang is not long, the most is three months.
So, has the trajectory of history really changed?
Mu Lan did not speak, she half crouched on the edge of the bed, and Wang Xueshuang seemed to feel someone coming, slightly opened his eyes, and when he saw Mu Lan, the light in his eyes became obvious.
The withered hand moved, and Mu Lan quickly grasped it: “Grandmother, Lan has come to see you.”
Wang Xueshuang is neither good nor bad.
But Wang Xueshuang has never done anything evil in his life. At most, he is partial. At least in this life, Mu Lan is also good.
So seeing such a picture, Mu Lan was very sad.
“Lan’er is back.” Wang Xueshuang’s voice was intermittent, and every word he said was particularly tired.
Mulan nodded. “Laner is back.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded, struggled, is Mu Lan personally helped Wang Xueshuang up, and then in the back of the pillow, so that Wang Xueshuang can be comfortable. Mam
my Li followed and waited on Wang Xueshuang.
Wang Hsueh-shuang didn’t have much strength, but she still said intermittently, “Lan..” When you enter the palace.. Take care of yourself and don’t lose the face of Mu Wangfu. Be careful in everything. Every word of
Wang Xueshuang is particularly difficult to say.
Mu Lan nodded and answered, “Lan Er always remembers her grandmother’s teachings.”
Wang Xueshuang nodded, gasping for breath, did not continue to say anything, and Mu Lan twisted eyebrows at Wang Xueshuang, took advantage of the situation to her pulse, this pulse has long been weak, want to find all seem difficult.
Had it not been for the rare herbs in the palace, I’m afraid he would have died long ago.
“I can’t do it anymore. Lan promised me..” Wang Hsueh-shuang suddenly grabbed Mu Lan’s hand. “Prince Mu’s mansion has long been in pieces.” Someday, if something happens, Lan’er will protect the people in the palace. This is my last wish before I leave.
Mu Lan did not speak.
“I know you hate the people of the second house..” Chen Zhirong coughed.
Li Mammy immediately stepped forward and patted Wang Xueshuang on the back, as if following Wang Xueshuang’s breath.
Wang Hsueh-shuang came to her senses and then continued: “But, for my sake, Lan’er, show mercy.”
Say that finish, Wang Xueshuang desperately coughing, but holding Mu Lan’s hand has never been loosened, the prayer in the eyes is also clearly visible.
Mu Lan did not speak.
But she didn’t shy away from Wang Hsueh-shuang’s eyes. After a long time, she quietly said, “Grandmother, I have my own sense of propriety about these things.”
Other words, Mu Lan did not say again.
Wang Xueshuang could not tell what the mood was, and then looked at Mu Lan’s eyes, with helplessness. Mu Lan did not say the words to death, but Wang Xueshuang also understood the meaning of Mu Lan.
She sighed silently, shook her head, and then gradually released her hand, looking extremely tired.
Mu Lan did not say much, personally covered Wang Xueshuang with a quilt, then turned around and told Mammy Li to serve Wang Xueshuang, and then she twisted her eyebrows and opened a prescription and gave it to Mammy Li.
“Mammy, send someone to the pharmacy to get this house. At least it will keep Grandma alive for a while.” Mu Lan opened his mouth lightly. Mam
my Li’s eyes were also a little red. She took the prescription from Mu Lan and nodded: “I’m going to do it.”
Mu Lan said nothing.
After that, Mu Lan did not stop at the ancestral temple for long, but turned around and walked out. As Mu Lan walked outside the house, Mammy Li suddenly called to Mu Lan: “Young lady.”
Mu Lan turned around and looked at Mammy Li quietly, but her voice did not allow any refusal, nor did she give Mammy Li another chance to speak: I understand Grandma’s mind, but a lot of things are beyond Grandma’s control. If I show mercy to people, do they show mercy to me?
Mu Lan’s voice was particularly steady: “Mammy, to be kind to others is to be cruel to oneself.”. Grandmother has always been kind to her second wife, but I don’t need such kindness. Mam
my Li didn’t say anything more.
This palace is no longer the original palace.
She is very clear, even if Mu Hong is far away, I am afraid also can not make a decision, the fate of the palace is indeed in the hands of Mu Lan.
“The maidservant knows.” Mammy Li answered.
“Just take good care of your grandmother.” Mu Lan said quietly. Mam
my Li answered respectfully, and Mu Lan soon left the ancestral temple and returned to the Snow Tower.
Lotus fragrance has been waiting in the snow building, everything is in accordance with Mu Lan’s habits, see Mu Lan to come, quickly handed the tea, very attentive.
Mu Lan laughed out loud, took the tea and drank it quietly, but he was not stingy to say, “He Xiang, you have made progress in making tea.”
Ho-hsiang smiled. “It was the young lady who taught me well.”
Mulan drank quietly, but asked casually, “Tell me what happened in the house this month.” As soon as
the lotus fragrance listens to Mu Lan to open the mouth, that chatterbox has not been able to stop, is everything big and small and Mu Lan said clearly.
From big to small, there is nothing missing.
Mu Lan listens quietly, but also understands the situation inside the mansion 7788.
But Mu Lan actually knows, before she enters the palace, this Mu Wangfu can not have too many accidents, Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhihua again dissatisfied, also dare not play any tricks in Mu Wangfu. The situation of
Wang Xueshuang was somewhat beyond Mu Lan’s expectation, and the rest of the things were basically under Mu Lan’s control.
There’s nothing to worry about.
After Hexiang finished, she looked at Mulan with some care.
Mulan put down his teacup and smiled. “All right, if you have anything to say, just say it. You don’t have to hide it.”
“The maidservant really said it.” Hexiang opened her eyes wide. “Miss, you’re going to the East Palace, and you’re going to take the maidservant with you.”. The maidservant has asked the housekeeper Chen that if you marry into the East Palace, you can take a personal maidservant with you.
Mu Lan was quiet and did not speak.
His face could not tell whether he had promised or not.
He Xiang, however, became nervous and said, “Young lady, if you leave, the maidservant will be the same as if she had no backbone. Even if she is in the palace, she doesn’t know what to do.”. The maidservant still likes to follow you around, so you must not leave the maidservant behind. In the palace, you also want a personal maidservant, so let the maidservant follow you into the palace, OK?
He Xiang said very seriously, looking at Mu Lan, without any element of a joke.
This is not the first time that Hexiang and Mulan have said such a thing.
It’s just that Mulan never promised. The death of Hexiang in the
last life brought too much excitement to Mu Lan. Hexiang died because of himself. What about this life? Can she protect the lotus fragrance from any accident?
Mu Lan himself is not completely sure.
“Young lady,” he Xiang called out, “You bring the maidservant into the palace. The maidservant just wants to follow the young lady.”
Mu Lan looked at He Xiang with a serious expression. Are you sure you want to go to the palace with me? The palace is not here, nor is it any fun place. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces. I don’t even know if I can protect myself, let alone you. Aren’t you afraid you’ll die if you go in?
“The maidservant is not afraid.” He Xiang said directly, “The maidservant is the lady’s person in life, and the lady’s ghost in death. The maidservant will not regret it.”
This is not ambiguous at all.
For a long time, Mu Lan chuckled, “OK, I’ll take you to the palace.”
“The maidservant thanked the young lady.” He Xiang knelt down, but his face was excited.
Mu Lan quietly looked at the face of the lotus, the mood is gradually calm down, and then looked at the lotus this brilliant smile, Mu Lan secretly vowed in the heart, no matter what this life will meet, she must protect the lotus.
Soon, he Xiang stood up and said, “The maidservant will prepare some snacks for you.”
“Go.” Mu Lan answered.
He Xiang answered happily and soon went out.
Mu Lan lowered his head and pinched his forehead, sitting quietly, and soon the housekeeper Chen came, but Mu Lan did not speak, quietly looking at the housekeeper Chen, the housekeeper Chen had handed over the accounts sent by the shopkeeper Wang during this period.
And the matter inside the palace, Chen butler did not say again.
Mu Lan didn’t ask much.
She carefully turned over the accounts, shopkeeper Wang’s accounts have been done very clearly, do not need too much thought, and Li Shiyu even if the two shops and their own pick clean, but will not completely transfer people away.
This person
Mu Lan thinks of Li Shiyu, the corner of the mouth curved.
Li Shiyu said that he was duplicitous, but Mu Lan felt that Li Shiyu was duplicitous much more than himself.
If you really want to pick it clean, why should you leave the shopkeeper Wang to yourself.
Besides, in the past, apart from the two shops belonging to Li Shiyu, the most important person was shopkeeper Wang.
Thinking of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan’s eyebrows and eyes seemed to be infected with stars.
She laughed in a low voice and suddenly wanted to see the man.
Mu Lan thought so and really did so.
When she stood up, the housekeeper hesitated and said, “Young lady, where are you going?”
“Go out for a walk.” Mu Lan said directly.
“But the big wedding is around the corner, and you’re going out..” Chen butler did not stop, but after all, some do not quite agree.
The wedding is coming, and the people in the palace are coming and going.
Things are constantly sent to the palace of King Mu, and Mammy in the palace will come ahead of time to help Mu Lan, so as to avoid other accidents.
And now Mu Lan wants to go out, in case the people in the palace know, it is always bad to spread out.
Mu Lan smiled and said calmly, “I’ll be careful.”. If someone in the palace comes, he will know the news in advance, and you can inform me. Besides, if someone in the house is looking for me, just say I’m resting and not seeing guests.
Mu Lan arranged it very carefully. When butler
Chen saw that Mu Lan had said this, he finally couldn’t say anything more. He nodded his head and said, “I know.”
Mu Lan hum, with the lotus fragrance left from the side door.
Chen butler Mu Lan’s figure disappears, this just returns to the mansion to arrange other matters.
……
Kyoto Teahouse.
Mu Lan has not come for a long time, even when the second child of the teahouse saw Mu Lan, he was stunned, and then subconsciously looked at the location of the second floor wing. Is it such a coincidence
today?
Mu Lan commonly used wing, teahouse people have been kept for Mu Lan, other people can not get in, and when Mu Lan is not, the longest person in this wing is Li Shiyu.
Today, Li Shiyu came first, but he did not inform any of them that Mu Lan would come.
As a result, Mu Lan suddenly appeared.
Waiter quickly recovered from his stupor and immediately went up to meet him. “Miss Mu, come with me.”
Mu Lan hum.
Waiter quickly took Mu Lan to the wing on the second floor.
But it was not the one that Mu Lan often used, but went to the opposite wing, which made Mu Lan slightly twist his eyebrows, and the waiter also noticed that there was some desire to speak and stop.
“Someone?” Mu Lan asked directly.
Waiter quieted down. “Yes.”. The young man is inside.
In the face of Mu Lan, there is no need to conceal the identity of Li Shiyu, who is this childe, Mu Lan is very clear in the heart. She raised her eyebrows slightly and naturally turned around and walked towards the position of the original wing.
Waiter didn’t stop him. He couldn’t stop Mu Lan at all.
Mulan turned around. “You don’t have to follow.”
“Yes.” Waiter didn’t speak.
He Xiang is also very clever and silent, waiting outside the wing, the door of the wing, is opened by Mu Lan himself.
As early as when Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance into the teahouse, Li Shiyu had already seen it clearly, and now the door of the wing was opened from the outside, but Li Shiyu did not feel anything strange.
Even his action of drinking tea did not stop, and he slowly picked up the cup.
When Mu Lan came in, Li Shiyu’s eyelids were only slightly lifted, and did not say much, Mu Lan did not mind, quietly toward the opposite position of Li Shiyu.
Then, Mu Lan took over the action of making tea.
Li Shiyu didn’t stop him either.
For a long time, two people did not speak, even when pouring tea, Mu Lan did not look at Li Shiyu, as if apart from drinking tea, they did not open their mouths and say a word to each other. The
wing is also quiet.
This situation is very similar to the first time, although they share the same space, but they do things in their own way.
Occasionally, out of the corner of Mu Lan’s eye, he would look at Li Shiyu, but it was only a touch, and he took it back.
Li Shiyu did not seem to exist as Mu Lan at all.
But Mu Lan handed over the tea, this person is not polite to pick up.
Mu Lan was silent, and in his heart he could not help crying for a while.
Suddenly, Li Shiyu calmly said, During this period, Miss Mu looked at Ben Wang no less than ten times? Did Ben Wang not wipe the corners of his mouth after breakfast this morning, or was there something wrong with him that made Miss Mu stare at Ben Wang like this?
Mu Lan was stunned by the action of making tea. After being teased by
Li Shiyu so rudely, Mu Lan was also direct: “Since the four royal Highnesses can accurately calculate how many times I have seen your Highness, can I understand that your Highness is also paying attention to me?”? Otherwise, how can he who is attentive pay attention to what is elsewhere?
“Have a sharp tongue.” Li Shiyu chuckled.
Now that Li Shiyu had discovered it, Mu Lan did not cover up and looked at it generously.
When Li finished drinking the tea in his cup, he asked, “Three days later, we’re going to have a big wedding. If we don’t stay at Prince Mu’s mansion, what else are we going to do?”? Aren’t you afraid that if someone comes to the palace and can’t find you, you’ll get into trouble again?
Mu Lan laughed. “If I remember correctly, the emperor has been particularly attentive to your Highness recently. Isn’t your Highness accompanying the emperor and drinking tea in this teahouse? It’s so leisurely and carefree that he’s not afraid of being preempted?”
Li Shiyu said a sentence, Mu Lan can reply a sentence. No face at
all, sharp and direct.
Li Shiyu could not help but look at Mu Lan, who had no warmth in his eyes, but suddenly felt a touch of warmth: “Mu Lan, are you not willing to eat at all?”
“The canthus is bound to report.” Mu Lan nodded.
Li Shiyu didn’t say anything.
Mulan asked again, “Your Highness has not answered my question yet.”
“Hmm?” Li Shiyu did not know whether he really did not understand or was playing dumb. Don’t
your Highness need to accompany the emperor? This is your Highness’s opportunity. Whether the emperor is sincere or not, it is an opportunity after all. Mulan said directly, “After all, your Highness has evidence in his hands, and sooner or later it will be handed over to the emperor to bring down the prince.”
Mu Lan’s words are like a test.
But Mu Lan did not think Li Shiyu would answer himself.
When it comes to this aspect, Li Shiyu and her did not say everything they knew, so Mu Lan did not really take it to heart.
As a result, Li Shiyu looked at it very seriously.
Such excessive attention to the eyes, so that Mu Lan’s eyebrows a twist, some unknown, holding the teapot’s hand paused, and then put aside, but also did not fill again.
But Li Shiyu’s voice came quietly: “The king expected you to come here, so he came here specially to accompany you.”
Mu Lan is stunned, is really unable to speak, looking at Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu did not shy away from Mu Lan’s eyes, and every word he said was particularly serious: “Now, Ben Wang just wants to accompany you.”
I just want to accompany you
with five simple words, rolling back and forth in Mu Lan’s mind. Can not
say the feeling, blocked the heart of Mu Lan, a burst of, depressed people feel a little uncomfortable. But inexplicably listening to these words, let Mu Lan’s eyes have the feeling of acid swelling.
But Mu Lan could not shed tears, and the corners of his eyes became more and more dry.
And Li Shiyu finished, but also did not continue to say, just so quiet looking at Mu Lan. It
was a long time before Mu Lan answered, “Good.”
Li Shiyu chuckled, suddenly stood up, Mu Lan was caught off guard, but this person suddenly bent over, thin lips up, gently in Mu Lan’s lips fell a kiss.
Very light, and very touching.
Mu Lan closed his eyes.
But Li Shiyu did not go deep, thin lips fell on Mu Lan’s ears, when the heat came, Mu Lan could not help but shrink, the palm of the hand subconsciously clenched, some sweat.
And Li Shiyu’s voice was almost bewitching: “Tomorrow the king will take you out.”
Mu Lan hesitated and looked at Li Shiyu. With a smile in his eyes,
Li Shiyu pinched Mu Lan’s chin with his slender fingers, but his voice was much more gentle: “You’ve chosen a good wedding.”
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and became more and more confused. The eve of the
big wedding is the Tanabata Festival. On Chinese Valentine’s Day, everyone in Kyoto will go to the market. There are many exciting and interesting things in the market, but everyone will wear a mask. No one knows who you are, and no one can recognize you. You can do whatever you want.
Li Shiyu quieted down when he said this.
Mu Lan understood the meaning of this man in Li Shiyu’s words.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled. “So Your Highness is inviting me?”
“Are you coming?” Li Shiyu asked directly.
“Come.” Mu Lan is not affectation. No one knows what will happen in the
future, but everything can be grasped now.
Li Shiyu can leave the palace when the situation is not clear, so why should she be hypocritical.
And Li Shiyu got Mu Lan’s answer, chuckled, and naturally sat back in his seat, quietly drinking tea, the two are no longer talking.
It was not until sunset that Mulan got up and left.
Li Shiyu did not see him off. When Hexiang
outside the door saw Mu Lan coming out, she went up to meet him and said, Young lady, I’m going back to the mansion. The steward Chen has sent someone to urge him.
Mu Lan hum.
Soon, the two men went downstairs and went out from the side door of the teahouse, but it did not cause much noise. In a short time, Mu Lan had already returned to Mu Wang Fu. Housekeeper
Chen was waiting at the side door. When he saw Mu Lan, he went up to meet her and said, “Young lady, someone has come to the palace and sent something. The person who wants to see you has been stopped by the slave.”. The people in the palace said that Mammy would come the day before the big wedding, and that at that time, no matter what, she must see the eldest lady.
Mulan nodded. “I see.”
“Young lady..” Chen butler continued to speak.
As a result, Mu Lan interrupts Chen: “Tomorrow I won’t be here all day, and I won’t be back so early. If I have something to do, you can stop me. He Xiang will stay in Luoxue Lou.”
Chen butler: “… …”
He wanted to say to Mu Lan that he would not leave the house again these two days, but before he could say it, Mu Lan gave himself a bolt from the blue.
But Mu Lan is the master, he is just a slave, Mu Lan’s orders have to follow.
Finally, butler Chen answered, “Please be more careful with the eldest young lady, and the slave will take care of things in the palace.”
“There’s Lao Chen, the housekeeper.” Mu Lan answered.
Then, Mu Lan took the lotus fragrance back to the snow building.
……
The second day.
Genius just bright, Mu Lan has already woken up, she quietly silent sound, from the wardrobe to find the clothes sent by Li Mu not long ago, carefully selected.
In the end, she chose a pink dress, and her white skin was even brighter.
This is probably the first time Mulan has worn such a bright color since his rebirth. In the
bronze mirror, a young girl’s face appeared, bright and brilliant.
It is not a deliberate restraint of dignity, but a few years older.
Even the bun has been combed by Mu Lan more lively and pretty, has always been only a little makeup on the face, are carefully on a layer of makeup, even in the bronze mirror also followed more and more pretty.
When Hexiang heard the noise, she pushed the door and came in.
Mu Lan turned and looked at the lotus fragrance.
The lotus fragrance is somewhat stunned, has never seen such Mu Lan, the lotus fragrance is somewhat not quite adapted.
Her voice stuttered. “Miss, what are you …”
Mulan smiled. “Do I look good?”
“Good looking.” Ho-hsiang nodded earnestly, then felt a little embarrassed. “It’s just that the maidservant has never seen a young lady wear such bright clothes. I’m not used to it.”
Then all of a sudden he Xiang became lively and walked toward Mu Lan. “Miss, you should be like this. Don’t always wear lifeless clothes. How old are you? How beautiful you look like this.”. The maidservant dares to say that if you go out like this, there will not be a young lady in Kyoto who looks better than you.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and said, “Your mouth..”
“The maidservant is just telling the truth.”
Mu Lan didn’t say anything.
He Xiang suddenly gave a narrow smile and said, “Young lady, you look so beautiful. Are you going out to see the prince?”
Mu Lan did not speak and did not answer Hexiang’s question.
In Mulan’s opinion, the less you know, the safer you are, no matter what it is.
However, when he Xiang saw that Mu Lan did not answer, he thought so on his own.
Dazhou’s tradition is that three days before marriage, the couple do not meet, so Hexiang subconsciously thinks that they do not want to miss the Qixi Festival, so Mulan will dress up.
Originally, Qixi Festival is a very important festival in Dazhou.
The market is so lively that it doesn’t end until midnight.
“Young lady, the maidservant will be here for you to guard. You can go at ease.” Hexiang blinked. The sky
outside is already a little bright.
Mu Lan actually did not make an appointment with Li Shiyu, yesterday this person just said to take oneself out today, but how to meet, where to meet, this person did not say.
Mu Lan subconsciously felt that he wanted to go to a teahouse or a shop.
That’s where they see each other most often.
Mu Lan sank, quietly walked out of the side door of Mu Wang Fu, and no one found Mu Lan left. And the market in Kyoto has begun to be lively gradually. Much earlier
than usual in the morning.
……
Suddenly, gradually approaching footsteps, so that Mu Lan instantly became alert up, but only a moment, Mu Lan followed to relax down. The
familiar smell of sandalwood soon lingered around Mulan.
Mu Lan turned around, Li Shiyu’s figure has appeared in front of Mu Lan, but Mu Lan can not see Li Shiyu’s face, this person’s face was covered under the mask. The
black and white mask, simple and clean, did not damage the slightest heroic spirit of this person, but more mysterious.
“Your Royal Highness.” Mu Lan opened his mouth quietly.
Li Shi-yu chuckles: “Aren’t you afraid of mistaken identity?”
“It’s hard.” Mu Lan is direct. I don’t know if
this is a pleasure to Li Shiyu, his laughter became obvious, suddenly, Li Shiyu like magic, from the hands into a new mask.
Mu Lan saw that the mask was also based on black and white, but there was a colorful feeling on it, which was amazing at a glance. Together
with Li Shiyu’s face, it always makes people feel that they should have been like this.
“For me?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Shiyu did not deny, it is natural to pick up the mask to help Mu Lan put on, Mu Lan subconsciously clasped Li Shiyu’s hand, always feel that such action is too intimate, after all, this is the market, although the morning is still sparsely populated, but it still makes Mu Lan a little uncomfortable.
“Your Highness, I can do it myself.” Mu Lan’s voice was very light, but his ears were a little red.
Li Shiyu lowers his head and looks at Mu Lan. The movement in his hand pauses slightly, and his eyes fall on Mu Lan. “Call me by my name.”
It’s different from calling yourself “I” instead of “Ben Wang”.
This time, Li Shiyu let Mu Lan call his name.
Mu Lan is not used to it, but more embarrassed.
She stood quietly, looking at Li Shiyu, as if to guess the meaning of Li Shiyu’s words, and Li Shiyu did not avoid Mu Lan’s eyes, falling on Mu Lan’s eyes are particularly focused and serious.
Mu Lan hid in the wide sleeve of the hand, unconsciously hooked the fingertips.
“What do you want me to call you?” Mu Lan was quiet for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth and asked calmly and tentatively.
“My name.” Li Shiyu chuckled and repeated.
Mu Lan’s delicate and good-looking eyebrows were slightly twisted.
Li Shiyu’s slender fingers did not know when they had pinched Mu Lan’s chin, and with a slight lift, Mu Lan had already passively looked at Li Shiyu.
Before giving Mu Lan a chance to react, Li Shiyu suddenly bowed his head.
Suddenly close to the handsome face, as well as this person’s familiar sandalwood smell, are easy to let Mu Lan’s heart beat faster, even breathing are somewhat cramped up, but the surface, Mu Lan has always been calm.
As if on purpose, Li Shiyu’s thin lips brushed slightly against Mu Lan’s cheek, and then fell on Mu Lan’s ear.
Thin lips out of the hot air, so that Mu Lan can not help but hide for a while.
And in his ear came Li Shiyu’s deep, bewitching voice: “Call the king by his name.” It was the third time he had repeated the same words, and soon the rest of the words became very clear, and word by word came to Mu Lan’s ears, “Shi Yu.”
That’s Li Shiyu’s name.
But Mu Lan has never heard anyone call Li Shiyu that.
It seems strange and familiar.
But Li Shiyu such a move but with a trace of bewitching, so that Mu Lan can not help but become up, she seems to be evil, possessed, looking at the handsome face close at hand, red lips move slightly.
Just like the melodious voice of an oriole, slowly reciting word by word: “Shi Yu..”
Cheeks, white skin are followed by a slight red, but instantly disappeared, and then look at Li Shiyu’s face, but appears to be serious.
It seems that what I read before is just a very common name.
Such anyway, but thoroughly pleased Li Shiyu.
He did not tease Mu Lan to open his mouth again, for Mu Lan’s temper, Li Shiyu again understand, but again tease, even if Mu Lan is willing, will become angry.
“Remember, you are only allowed to call me by my first name today. If you call me by the wrong name..” For the rest, Li Shiyu did not speak.
Mu Lan coughed lightly and ignored the man.
But Li Shi-yu went on to say, “You will suffer the consequences.”
The voice fell, but Li Shiyu did not seem to have said anything in general, the mask prepared for Mu Lan, carefully to help Mu Lan wear, not even a detail did not let go.
The mask covers Mu Lan’s face, but it does not damage Mu Lan’s beauty.
Obviously is separated by the mask, but can see this pair of clear but with deep eyes, like the abyss, people can not help but immerse in it.
After confirming that the mask was worn, Li Shiyu’s hand naturally took Mu Lan’s hand and gently wrapped it in his palm.
Mu Lan did not refuse, let this person lead himself.
Then she asked, “Where are we going?”? At this time of year, there aren’t many people in the market, so there’s nothing to see.
This is also the truth.
Besides, the genius has just been bright for a while, how can it be a sea of people. It even seemed a bit deserted, and there was no movement except for a few stalls shouting.
But Li Shiyu did not answer Mu Lan’s question, but quietly took Mu Lan’s hand, got on the waiting horse, put Mu Lan tightly in his arms, and then rode the whip, running quickly towards the suburbs of Beijing. Li Shiyu did not let go of Mu Lan’s hand during the
whole process.
It was not until the outskirts of Kyoto that Li Shiyu took Mu Lan up the mountain that Mu Lan realized that this was the location of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Wanfo Temple is different from Kaiyuan Temple, which is the place where the princes and nobles of Dazhou must go to burn incense and worship Buddha, while Wanfo Temple is the place where the common people of Kyoto go.
Mu Lan has always felt that compared with the hubbub of the Wanfo Temple and the quietness of the Kaiyuan Temple, the former is more fireworks, and the Buddha should not be able to see such fireworks?
It’s just that Mu Lan doesn’t understand why Li Shiyu came here.
In Mu Lan’s impression, Li Shiyu can go to the place, should also be Kaiyuan Temple, and this person actually does not believe in ghosts and gods, rarely come to such a place, in addition to forced circumstances, Li Shiyu will hardly appear in the temple.
Mu Lan can’t help feeling surprised.
But Mu Lan did not open his mouth.
Li Shiyu always has his own purpose in doing things, and will not easily decide a thing, and you do not need to ask, when this person should explain, naturally will not be ambiguous.
It was not until the gate of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple that Li Shiyu stood up.
Mu Lan stood with Li Shiyu.
At this time of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, incense has been very exuberant, although not as bustling as traditional festivals, but there are still many people in and out, but wearing masks are young men and women, holding hands tightly, to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for marriage.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu subconsciously, always feeling that this person would not be so unreliable. When
Mu Lan was quiet, Li Shiyu suddenly said, “My mother was just a commoner. Because she danced, her father took a fancy to her and made her an imperial concubine. When she was in the palace, she would come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple once a month to burn incense and worship the Buddha here.”
Mu Lan was somewhat surprised by Li Shiyu’s opening, but she did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Rong Fei was a commoner, and everyone in Dazhou knew that Dazhou had a commoner princess, which was a very rare thing at that time. Even the princess was very popular. In the second year of entering the palace, she gave birth to four princes, Li Shiyu. When everyone
thought that Rong Fei would get the Tao, they got the news that Rong Fei was ill.
It was not long before Rong Fei died.
This is seen by outsiders, but the people in the palace are very clear that the death of Rong Fei is not so simple.
But this matter also became a taboo in the palace, no one mentioned again, Rong Fei was also buried.
And at that time Li Shiyu, just over two years old, how can know, how can remember, even the last side of Rong Fei did not see, was sent to Qu Huachang that, raised by Qu Huachang.
As if he was looking for the truth of the Li family’s extermination, Li Shiyu was not looking for the truth of the death of Rong Fei.
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and listened quietly without saying a word. Li Shiyu’s calm voice was still in
her ear: “It wasn’t until my mother passed away that I learned from Mammy, who had always been with her, that my mother would come here every month, and I wrote it down. When I came of age, I was made King Yu and moved out of the palace to live in King Yu’s palace. From that time on, every month I would come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to burn incense for my mother.”
Mu Lan did not expect Li Shiyu to do so.
But Mulan didn’t say anything, just listened.
“Today is the Tanabata Festival, and my mother died on that day.” Li Shi-yu’s voice is still calm, and there are not too many emotional ups and downs, as if he had already adapted to it. “So, every year on the Tanabata Festival, I go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for my mother.”
With these words, Li Shiyu suddenly bowed his head.
That is Mu Lan has never seen Li Shiyu, such a mood, as if with a trace of sadness and helplessness, looks less tough on weekdays, more fragile. People can’t help but want to hold Li Shiyu gently.
Mu Lan subconsciously bit his lips and did not open his mouth.
Just by Li Shiyu in the palm of the hand, tight.
Li Shi-yu noticed and glanced down. When he looked at Mu Lan again, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and his tone brightened: “This is the first time I’ve taken a woman to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas to pray for her on the anniversary of her mother’s death.”
Superfluous words, Li Shiyu did not speak again, quietly looking at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan’s cheeks were a little red.
It’s just blocked by the mask. It’s not visible.
On such a special day, Li Shiyu appeared in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple with himself, and how could Mu Lan not know, but Mu Lan did not open his mouth, two people’s eyes flowed through, as if no one had punctured this thin paper.
For them now, silence is the best way.
“Go inside.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly and did not continue the previous topic.
“Good.” Only then did Mu Lan answer.
Soon, Li Shiyu took Mu Lan to the Wanfo Temple, and Mu Lan quietly followed Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu is very familiar with everything in Wanfo Temple.
Mu Lan quietly watched Li Shiyu buy incense, lit it in front of Buddha, stood tall, bowed seriously, and then inserted the incense, let the smoke be few.
After that, Li Shiyu stood in place and did not move for a long time.
Mu Lan did not disturb Li Shiyu and accompanied him. Neither of them spoke
until Li Shiyu turned to look at Mu Lan. Mu Lan smiled faintly at Li Shiyu, and his voice was still calm: “I want to go to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.”
“I will accompany you.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
“Good.” Mu Lan answered. In fact, Mu Lan is no stranger to the
Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. When she was in Gufu, Li Ruolan would come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple on New Year’s Day, and naturally she would take Mu Lan with her, but Mu Lan was in a child’s mood, not seriously burning incense and praying for blessings, but playing more.
Perhaps influenced by Li Shiyu, Mu Lan really calmed down to see this temple.
It seems that I miss Li Ruolan a little more.
She walked quietly in the temple, Li Shiyu followed the side, met the steep steps, Li Shiyu’s hand will naturally hold Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan didn’t refuse.
Two people are walking.
Suddenly, Mu Lan points to a nearby rockery: “When I was a child, my mother brought me here, and I liked to hide behind the rockery. When my mother couldn’t find me, she would be particularly anxious, but I didn’t come out anyway. I laughed secretly behind the rockery until my mother was about to cry, and then I ran out. Soon I was able to coax my mother to laugh through her tears.”
Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, but he really didn’t expect Mu Lan to have such a lively side.
Since Li Shiyu knew Mu Lan, Mu Lan has always been like this, calm and calm, never affected by anything outside, step by step, strategizing, everything is clear in mind.
“At that time, I just thought it was fun.” Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and chuckled. “Now I suddenly feel that that’s the fireworks, the fireworks that can’t be dispersed.”. And now if you want to have it again, it’s impossible.
With some emotion, she couldn’t help breathing deeply.
Li Shiyu is like Mu Lan to appease himself in general, holding Mu Lan’s big hand also followed tightly.
Mu Lan chuckled, looking at Li Shiyu, the smile in his eyebrows and eyes was a relaxation that he had never had before.
The two men walked up the steps of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
“Have you been to the top of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?” Mu Lan suddenly asked.
Li Shiyu quieted down: “Never.”
Every time I come here, I just burn incense and worship Buddha in a hurry and then leave. And Li Shiyu knew very well that Rong Fei had come here before she entered the palace, perhaps like Mu Lan, she could walk through the whole Wanfo Temple, but after entering the palace, all this became unreachable.
Even if they are allowed to come, they will only come and leave in a hurry.
And it is impossible for him to measure the whole temple of ten thousand Buddhas.
“There is no main hall above, but there is a place where divination is particularly efficacious.” Mu Lan explains, “My mother used to take me up the ladder step by step. I didn’t even have the slightest idea of worshipping the Buddha. I just thought it was funny. Now that I think about it, it’s like I’m going to ask the Buddha to forgive me for being young and ignorant.”
Li Shi-yu laughed and then said, “I thought you didn’t believe in ghosts either.”
“There is always fear in this place.” Mu Lan explained.
Li Shiyu hum, said nothing. The stone steps
up the mountain were particularly steep, so almost no one came to this section. Even people like Mu Lan, who practiced martial arts, had a hard time walking, and their foreheads were slightly sweating.
“Tired?” Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan and asked softly.
Mu Lan snorted, “Tired.”. I’ve walked a lot on the flat ground, and I’ve never seen anything like this.
“Then when you climbed up from the cliff, how could I see you walking like flying?” Li Shiyu raised his eyebrows, but he was not polite at all.
Mu Lan: “… …”
She was scolded by Li Shiyu and could not speak, and finally she could only look at the man with such a glare.
Li Shiyu laughed out loud and suddenly half squatted down.
Mu Lan doesn’t know.
“Come up, I’ll carry you up.” Li Shiyu said directly.
Mu Lan snorted and said with a straight face, “Didn’t anyone tell you to be sincere when petitioning the Buddha?”? At least this part of the way is up by yourself. Otherwise, how could the Buddha satisfy your wishes?
“You don’t believe in ghosts?” Li Shiyu is not polite at all.
“Then why didn’t you carry me up on your back when you were on the cliff? The road was much harder than it is now. What kind of hospitality would you offer?” Mu Lan is not polite either.
Li Shiyu laughed helplessly and looked at Mu Lan. His slender fingers held the tip of Mu Lan’s nose and said, “Mu Lan, you don’t want to suffer any loss, do you?”
“Didn’t you already know?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan’s white skin because of mountain climbing became red, the whole person is more energetic, he is more emotional, suddenly pinched Mu Lan’s chin.
Mulan Leng, a moment back to God.
The man had already lowered his head and kissed him, but only once, he loosened Mu Lan.
After that, Li Shiyu calmly said, “Since you are sincere, let’s go.”
Mu Lan did not utter a word, his fingers subconsciously touched his lips, above which there was still a faint temperature of this person.
Suddenly, Mu Lan felt that Li Shiyu was intentional.
When entering the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Li Shiyu asked Mu Lan to take off his mask first, saying that he was not pious in front of Buddha.
But this feeling does not seem to make Mu Lan feel excluded.
Her eyebrows and eyes could not help bending, hiding in the mask, but no one could see clearly, and then looked at Li Shiyu to hold his hand again, Mu Lan smiled, and then some childish put all their weight on Li Shiyu’s body.
Li Shiyu doesn’t mind.
The two men climbed to the top of the mountain little by little.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Mu Lan took a deep breath and looked down at everything below. Then he said with emotion, “This is how small the mountains are at a glance.”
“Is that how you use it?” Li Shiyu shook his head.
“Isn’t it?” Mu Lan snorted.
“Well, if you say so, yes.” Li Shiyu is also very cooperative.
Mu Lan did not bother with this question either. He compared a vermilion door not far away and said, “I’ll go in and ask for a sign. You wait for me here.”. I know you don’t like these things, so just sit here or walk around. Just as
Li Shiyu was about to open his mouth, Mu Lan interrupted the man: “Don’t say you accompany me. Buddha doesn’t like people who are not sincere.”
Li Shi-yu laughed out loud, and only then did he answer, “Good.”
Mu Lan hummed, turned around and walked toward the door, not tired when he went up the mountain, but full of energy.
It seems that even the gloomy air on his body has disappeared.
Now Mu Lan is like a young girl.
Li Shiyu looked a little absorbed.
But he did not follow up, but quietly waiting in place, waiting for a long time, did not see Mu Lan come out, Li Shiyu then twisted eyebrows, toward the door.
……
Mu Lan entered the room, where an old monk was sitting. When he saw Mu Lan, he stood up and said, “Almsgiver.”
“Master, I want to ask for a peace charm.” Mu Lan opened his mouth quietly. The
room was filled with the smell of incense, which made people feel particularly stable.
The master looked at Mulan and nodded, “Be sincere when you pray for peace. Remember the person you want to bless. The Bodhisattva will hear you when you follow the incense.”
Mu Lan hum.
She personally lit three sticks of incense, piously knelt on the futon, closed her eyes, and let the smoke fill the air. She knelt for a long time, and after reading all her thoughts, she put the three sticks of incense in the incense burner.
The master handed over the bucket.
Mu Lan shook, and then dropped two sticks, Mu Lan picked up, the above characters Mu Lan can not understand, she handed to the side of the master.
The master looked at the sign handed over by Mu Lan, and soon his eyebrows were twisted up, with a trace of dignity. Aware of this,
Mu Lan asked in a low voice, “Master, this sign..”
“Do you want me to tell you the truth?” Asked the master.
“Yes.” Mulan’s answer is without hesitation.
The master was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at Mu Lan and shook his head. “I’ve been here for twenty years. I’ve never seen such a sign. It looks like a good sign, but it’s extremely dangerous.”. I wonder who the benefactor asked for the divination?
“a very important person.” Mu Lan answered.
Because of the master’s words, Mu Lan’s eyebrows also twisted up. The master can not know himself, nor will he know who this person is, so the master does not need to deceive himself for this.
But ten thousand Buddha temple, the big week’s dignitaries will not come, the master is the pure repair person, also will not know the outside world those who disturb.
So this, let Mu Lan subconsciously feel uneasy, that kind of fear seems to be how can not be suppressed.
Master listened to Mu Lan’s words, nodded, and then opened his mouth: “This man, there will be great evil, life hanging by a thread.”. As for whether we can live or not, it depends on good fortune. The master didn’t say the
rest.
Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows. The premonition of uneasiness in
my heart became stronger and stronger. What does it mean? The battle to seize the throne in the
last life will be staged in about half a year. Does this mean that Li Shiyu will fail in the battle to seize the throne this time?
Mu Lan does not want to believe, also dare not believe.
If failure means anything, Mulan knows better than anyone, and she can’t help being creepy. When she looked at the master
again, her voice was muffled, but she seemed calm: “Didn’t you say that this sign looks like a good omen?”
“What is auspicious on the surface is also a sign of danger under the sun.” Master explained.
Mu Lan said nothing and stood quietly.
The master is also very quiet.
Mu Lan looked at the master for a long time and asked clearly, “Is there a way to resolve it?”
The master pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “The poor monk’s ability is limited, and he can’t resolve it.”. This is the first time I’ve seen this sign in 20 years. The
master paused and said, “Almsgiver, ask for a peace charm, embroider his name on it, and tell him to keep it with him. It’s just a little comfort.”
The voice fell, the master handed Mu Lan a peace charm, very simple, is common in ordinary people.
Mu Lan also took it when he was a child. After a serious illness, Li Ruolan asked for a peace charm from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. It was red and white, embroidered with her name. Li Ruolan put it on her personally and told Mu Lan gently that it could protect Mu Lan from growing up safely.
She did grow up safely.
Even a few times of danger can be saved.
If the amulet is useful, really as the master said, Li Shiyu is a bad omen, even if life is hanging by a thread, is it possible to be reborn like her again.
Mulan sank, took the amulet, and thanked him earnestly: “Thank you, master.”
The master nodded.
Mu Lan asked the master for a needle and thread, and then quietly opened the amulet, carefully embroidered Li Shiyu’s name inside, and then re-sewn, and then returned the needle and thread to the master, put the amulet in the palm of his hand, and knelt on the futon, reading softly.
This scene fell on Li Shiyu, who was standing outside the house.
The sun has risen, a faint halo on Mu Lan’s body, so that the lines of her face more soft, kneeling on the futon slender figure, with piety.
Li Shiyu thought that even in the years to come, as long as he walked into the temple, he could think of the girl who was kneeling on the futon.
Suddenly, I want to hold Mu Lan in my arms.
And the man kneeling on the futon, when he stood up, seemed to be aware of Li Shiyu’s eyes, she quietly looked over, Li Shiyu smiled faintly.
Mu Lan did not speak, then looked at the master, politely nodded, gave the incense money, and then turned and went out.
Li Shiyu is waiting at the door.
“Ask for what?” Li Shiyu asked.
“Be happy and healthy.” Mu Lan answered.
Li Shiyu chuckled, but did not say anything, just want to take Mu Lan’s hand, toward the foot of the mountain, but Mu Lan quiet down, the pace stopped.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan. “What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t you curious who I asked for it?” Mu Lan asked.
Li Shiyu was silent.
Mu Lan, however, was not mystifying, and quickly handed the amulet to Li Shiyu: “It’s for you.”
Li Shiyu was a little surprised, did not expect Mu Lan to prepare for himself, but he did not speak, just took over with a smile, looked carefully, the appearance is not strange, but Li Shiyu did not dislike, seriously on his chest.
I embroidered your name in it, so it took a while. The master said, write down the name, and the amulet will work. Mu Lan explained.
Li Shi-yu hummed: “If I put it here, I won’t lose it.”
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu to put the peace charm away, but smiled, do not know is relieved or how, but the master said, but has been in Mu Lan’s chest, pressure, how can not relax down.
However, Mu Lan did not tell Li Shiyu this. With a hint of playfulness in
her eyes, she quietly looked at Li Shiyu: “Aren’t you going to say thank you to me?”
Voice just fell, Li Shiyu’s hand once again pinched Mu Lan’s chin, quickly pulled Mu Lan to himself, Mu Lan was caught off guard and fell into Li Shiyu’s arms.
Mu Lan’s face is very hot. The top of the mountain
is not spacious, only when someone comes up, you can see what they are doing, Mu Lan should be glad that very few people will go to the top of the mountain, this person can be so unscrupulous.
But Li Shiyu is not like before, just a while to loosen Mu Lan.
Mu Lan sighed silently, and his slender arms finally wound around Li Shiyu’s neck.
She’s responding. Everything
around became quiet, only the occasional wind, Mu Lan’s skirt was gently blown up, the occasional fallen leaves, also fluttering with the wind.
It was not until Li Shiyu had kissed enough that he loosened Mu Lan, and then gently held Mu Lan in his arms, his chin against Mu Lan’s hair, and his big hand along Mu Lan’s back.
Mu Lan did not speak, nor did Li Shiyu.
At this moment, it seems that everything is still, and only Li Shiyu and Mu Lan are left in the world.
For a long time, it was Mu Lan who sheepishly pushed Li Shiyu away. “You took me to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple early in the morning,” he coughed. “I haven’t had anything yet, and I’m a little hungry.” Hearing Mu Lan’s coquettish voice,
Li Shiyu chuckled, “Call me by my name, and I’ll take you there.”
Mu Lan: “Li Shiyu, you..”
“Call by name.” Li Shiyu is very insistent.
His eyes fell on Mu Lan in an instant, without any concession, a face of insistence, but Mu Lan was stared at by Li Shiyu, cheeks slightly red, not natural, but with shyness.
In the end, Mu Lan couldn’t stand being stared at any more and coughed lightly: “Shi Yu..”
Very, very light, so light that only you can hear it.
Li Shi-yu chuckled, but he was aware of Mu Lan’s temper, and instead of being embarrassed, he changed the subject: “What do you want to eat?”
“There’s a shop not far ahead, and the chicken soup wontons are very good.” Mu Lan thought for a moment, “When my mother took me to open the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, she would also eat a bowl of wonton here. I haven’t eaten it for a long time, but I’ve been thinking about it.”
“Good.” Li Shiyu nodded.
Soon, he firmly took Mu Lan’s hand, along the way, slowly down the hill, the steps down the hill looked steeper, but was held in the hands of Li Shiyu, Mu Lan did not feel any danger.
Occasionally, two people’s eyes meet, is a faint smile, there is a flash of shyness.
It seems that they have never been so calm.
……
Leaving Wanfo Temple, Li Shiyu rode with Mu Lan and walked towards the small wonton shop that Mu Lan said. By the time they
arrived, there were already quite a few people in the shop.
Because far away in the suburbs, plus those dignitaries in Kyoto will never come here, so Li Shiyu and Mu Lan did not put on the mask again, but Li Shiyu wore a silk scarf on Mu Lan’s face.
They found a remote place to sit down and ordered two bowls of small wontons and some small snacks.
Soon the waiter sent it up. Steaming
small wonton, Mu Lan did not eat for a long time, but also feel particularly delicious.
She couldn’t wait. She took a bite, burning her mouth, and the wonton fell off: “It’s so hot.”
“Things don’t run away. Why are you so anxious?” Li Shiyu shook his head helplessly.
He picked up the spoon, carefully blow cool, and then handed to Mu Lan’s mouth, Mu Lan quiet under, but not polite to eat down.
Eat slowly.
Li Shiyu is not in a hurry, slowly feeding.
When Mu Lan had eaten enough, he shook his head and said, “I can’t eat any more.”
Li Shiyu didn’t mind, either, and ate it directly with Mu Lan’s spoon. Mu Lan quieted down: “This is the spoon I used.”
“Can’t I use what you used?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Mulan thought, laughing out loud.
Yes, what can’t be used? They’ve done everything, and now it doesn’t make sense to be pretentious. She coughed lightly.
Li Shiyu also did not speak, quiet to finish the rest of Mu Lan’s food.
Even the clean spoon in Li Shiyu’s bowl has not been used, and it has always been used by Mu Lan.
Mu Lan looked, but more and more embarrassed, finally she coughed lightly, did not look at Li Shiyu, until Li Shiyu finished eating, the two were back on the horse, riding in the direction of the market.
This time, Li Shiyu carefully put on Mu Lan’s mask.
After all, the markets in Kyoto are not as dangerous as those in the outer suburbs.
This is the only way they can get along in such a dangerous place.
They cherish each other very much.
The annual Tanabata Festival is very lively. The streets of
Kyoto are full of people wearing masks, but even through masks, you can feel the shy but brilliant mood.
Li Shiyu and Mu Lan did not let go of their hands. The nature of the little girl in
Mu Lan’s bones was exposed in an instant, looking at everything in the market, as if she was interested in everything.
It is clear that any item owned by Mu Lan is more valuable and rare than things here, but it is not as good as these ordinary gadgets that make Mu Lan happy. As
she strolled around the stall, she picked up her favorite small object and made a gesture: “Hey, do you think this is good?”
It is a pair of hairpins, not so much before, the material is also very cheap, but the butterfly above looks particularly smart, people can not help but look at more than two eyes.
“Like it?” Li Shi-yu asks
, “I like it.” Mu Lan nodded.
Li Shiyu naturally took the hairpin in Mu Lan’s hand and put it directly in front of the shop owner to inquire about the price. The boss laughed and said the price was reasonable.
Li Shiyu was not ambiguous at all and paid the money quickly.
Then the hairpin was already in Mu Lan’s hand: “Here you are.”
Mu Lan happily took it over and looked left and right, but he was really happy. Then he picked up the hairpin and handed it to Li Shiyu: “Help me put it on.” A
cheerful voice.
Li Shiyu also did not refuse, seriously help Mu Lan put on.
Cheap hairpin, and Mu Lan’s clothes are very contrary, but it does not affect Mu Lan’s good mood, Li Shiyu also followed Mu Lan’s preferences, low eyebrows and eyes, with a faint smile.
They walked quietly in the market, holding hands. The
market was crowded with people. Li Shiyu carefully protected Mulan in his arms to avoid the crowd colliding with Mulan. Mulan stayed at the booth. As long as he liked it, Li Shiyu would buy it. After a while, Mulan had already taken a lot of small objects in his hand.
With a happy face.
“It’s like I’ve never seen you smile so happily before.” Li Shiyu quieted down and suddenly opened his mouth.
Mu Lan snorted, “I had it when I was a kid, but I really didn’t have it when I got back to Prince Mu’s mansion.”
“What about after entering the palace?” Li Shiyu asked again.
“Hey, can you not ask such a disappointing question now?” Mu Lan turned around and looked at the man with some dissatisfaction.
Li Shiyu smiled low, but finally did not say anything, pinched the tip of Mu Lan’s nose, Mu Lan was a little annoyed, took a quick look around, saw no one noticed them, immediately stood on tiptoe, mercilessly bit on Li Shiyu’s thin lips.
Thin lips slightly see some blood.
Li Shiyu did not say anything, looked at Mu Lan with a smile, wiped his thin lips with his finger pulp, and then watched Mu Lan walk into the next booth, shaking his head helplessly.
But Li Shiyu is very clear in the heart, so unbridled hand in hand, except today, but do not know when in the future.
He lowered his eyes, said nothing, and then quietly followed behind Mu Lan.
Mu Lan has gained a lot in a day.
But early in the morning to now, is also a little tired, at noon, Li Shiyu took Mu Lan to the teahouse, the shopkeeper came up, Li Shiyu whispered a few words, the shopkeeper suddenly enlightened, immediately took two people to the compartment.
They rested for an hour in a private room and had lunch.
Mu Lan is not in a hurry to leave, lying outside the window, outside the heavy traffic, some lazy.
“Where else do you want to go?” Li Shiyu asked.
Mu Lan shook his head and said, “It’s a little sour to walk. I don’t want to move.”. All the people who should go shopping in the morning have gone shopping. Now there are people below. I’m afraid there is no place to go down. I’m not going.
She refused. It’s
not just because Mulan is tired of crowded places.
Also because of Mu Lan’s subconscious vigilance, in a crowded place, if something happens, it is too late to escape, so, subconsciously, Mu Lan is resistant.
It’s just that Mulan didn’t say it.
Li Shi-yu raised his eyebrows and calmly asked, “Where are your feet getting sore?”
Mu Lan is not polite, compared to the position of the calf. Coming down from the temple, it’s impossible to feel nothing. I haven’t been so upset for a long time, and I’m still a little uncomfortable.
Li Shiyu hum, sat down opposite Mu Lan, gently lifted Mu Lan’s feet, and put them on his own body.
Mu Lan is stupefied: “What are you doing?”
“Squeeze it for you.” Li Shiyu opened his mouth lightly.
Mu Lan looked at Li Shiyu quietly, some could not believe what he heard. In any case, Li Shiyu was a prince who had never condescended to do such a thing.
On weekdays, it is the slaves who serve Li Shiyu. When is it Li Shiyu’s turn to serve.
Subconsciously, Mulan wanted to take his feet back.
But Li Shiyu grabbed, did not give Mu Lan such a chance, he took off Mu Lan’s shoes, and then lifted up the skirt, took off Mu Lan’s socks.
Mu Lan’s feet could not help shrinking. Being intimate
with this person does not mean that you can be calm when you are held by this person in broad daylight. In
contrast to Mu Lan, who is not calm, Li Shiyu is much quieter: “What are you hiding from? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
And his palm slightly, warm temperature, just the right strength came, to a large extent, to alleviate the pain of Mu Lan.
Just such a move, or a little shy.
Mu Lan coughed lightly and finally stopped looking at the man and looked out of the window.
And Li Shiyu’s face is always as usual, quietly repeating the movements in his hands, until his fingertips feel Mu Lan’s calf gradually relaxed down, he just put away his hand.
But Li Shiyu was not in a hurry to loosen Mu Lan’s hand, put on Mu Lan’s socks again, put on his shoes, and then put down his skirt.
Everything was quietly restored to its original state.
When Li Shiyu looked up, Mu Lan, who had been looking out of the window, suddenly looked over, and Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan in silence, as if waiting for Mu Lan to open his mouth.
Mu Lan quieted down for a moment and then said lightly, “According to the tradition of Dazhou, if a girl’s ankle is seen by a man, she will be married home.”
“Are you going to marry?” Li Shiyu asked in reply.
Mu Lan did not make a sound. Every word of
Li Shiyu’s speech was taken very seriously: “If you want to marry, I’ll marry.” Neither of them
mentioned that Mu Lan would marry into the East Palace in two days, so focused eyes seemed to only accommodate each other.
Mu Lan listened to Li Shiyu’s words and quieted down. She looked up at Li Shiyu and said, “Can I get married whenever I want?”
Li Shiyu gave a hum.
I don’t know whether to answer or perfunctory.
Mu Lan smiled and did not pursue the question.
Some things, out of this step, want to retreat has no way to retreat, besides, she can not retreat. If you choose something, you are doomed to give up something.
Mu Lan did not speak again.
Li Shiyu did not continue the topic.
The original harmonious atmosphere suddenly quieted down, indescribably dull.
Mu Lan’s eyes fell out of the window again, suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and she looked like that lively and bright girl, pointing to a peddler not far away with her slender and white fingers.
A string of attractive ice-sugar gourds makes people salivate, and there are many people around the vendors, many of whom are men and women wearing masks.
Mu Lan pointed and looked at Li Shiyu: “I want to eat this.”
Li Shiyu hum, very cooperative to stand up. Smiling
, Mulan held her chin and continued, “Choose the biggest and best one.”
“Greed.” Li Shiyu laughed.
Mu Lan shook his head, Li Shiyu did not say anything, turned around and quickly walked out of the compartment, Mu Lan’s attention looked out of the window.
From this position, you can clearly see the people coming in and out of the teahouse.
Naturally, it also includes Li Shiyu.
Li Shiyu’s mask was put on again, and his tall figure walked out of the teahouse. The street was bustling, but it seemed that only Li Shiyu was left in Mu Lan’s eyes.
She looked at the man quietly, walked towards the vendor, paid the money, chose a string of ice-sugar gourds from the shelf, and then turned back.
Mu Lan suddenly chuckled. It
really seems to be the biggest one.
Li Shiyu carefully chose the appearance of ice-sugar gourds, so that Mulan has not been able to return to God for a long time, this usually uncertain man, at this moment suddenly let people feel particularly lovely.
It seems to have the feeling of being held in the palm of the hand.
She is Li Shiyu’s treasure worthy of lifelong care.
And this day, for a long time, has been lingering in Mu Lan’s mind, which is one of the driving forces supporting Mu Lan to go on step by step.
It seems that when you are out of breath, you can always think of the sweetness of this day.
When Mulan was in a trance, Li Shiyu had come in from outside the wing, holding the ice-sugar gourds Mulan wanted, Mulan turned around and looked at the man, who had lifted his mask and put it aside.
Then, naturally, he gave the ice-sugar gourds to Mulan: “For you.”
“Is it the biggest?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows and took it over.
Li Shi-yu laughs out loud: “Why don’t you go down and compare it yourself?”
And Mu Lan has already taken over the ice-sugar gourds in Li Shiyu’s hand with a smile, and happily bit one. His mouth was full at once, and he could not say a word.
Li Shiyu watched quietly, laughing out loud in a low voice, not knowing whether he was laughing at Mu Lan now or something else.
But the indulgence and spoiling in Li Shiyu’s eyes can also be seen clearly.
Mulan bit the ice-sugar gourds and still watched from the window.
Li Shiyu did not know when to walk to the edge of Mu Lan, very natural embrace her waist, a force, Mu Lan fell into the arms of Li Shiyu.
Mu Lan didn’t struggle. As
she nibbled, she smelled the fragrance of sandalwood, which was close at hand, with a faint sweetness. She quieted down for a moment, and suddenly she handed the ice-sugar gourds to Li Shiyu: “You eat.”
Li Shiyu took a bite.
Mu Lan rubbed in the man’s arms again.
It’s very unimpressive and very relaxing.
“How does it taste?” Mu Lan asked lazily, “No matter in the palace or in the palace, you can’t eat such a small thing.”. In fact, it’s not that I don’t have it. I just don’t have this feeling. Now this way of eating is not proper in the palace.
Li Shi-yu smiled and said, “Not bad.”
“Do you still want it?” Mu Lan naturally handed it over again.
Li Shiyu was very cooperative and took another bite. The
man ate much faster than woman, and the couple finished eating. Suddenly he hugged Mu Lan tightly, his thin lips almost pressed against Mu Lan’s ear, and said very clearly, “Do you know what I want to eat?”.
“What?” Mu Lan didn’t come to his senses.
By the time he came to his senses, the man’s kiss had fallen.
Mu Lan slightly stunned, but in the action here suddenly understood the meaning of this person’s words, although she is not an unknown girl, but to hear such words is still a little shy.
However, Mu Lan’s resistance is like a desire to refuse to meet.
Her voice murmured, “Shiyu, this is a teahouse.”
Li Shi-yu, on the other hand, is rarely oblivious: “No one dares to come in without my permission.”
Mulan: “But..”
“No buts.”
……
All the protests were swallowed up by Li Shiyu, and there was no trace of them. What Mu Lan can finally do is to accompany this person to sink and sink again. Inside the
wing, the enthusiasm is like fire, and outside the wing, there is also a lot of traffic.
Mu Lan took this day as the end of the day, and let go of all his emotions and unparalleled enthusiasm.
Li Shiyu felt it.
Strong and powerful arm Mu Lan Lou in the bosom, handsome face close at hand, also seems to take off the usual gentle disguise, become crazy up. In
all the eyes, nothing can be seen, only the stars in front of us.
In the light and shadow, Mu Lan’s slender fingers suddenly put on Li Shiyu’s chest, this person’s chest position still has a faint wound, that is left before. For
such a long time, it has not been completely good to go.
You can see how deep the wound was at that time.
Not to mention the numerous wounds on this person’s body, many of which have faded to almost invisible, but the touch of your fingertips can still be clearly felt.
Mu Lan stroked quietly.
In the past, when they were entangled, they never paid close attention to these, as if all their efforts were spent on confrontation and competition with each other.
And now, all this seems to have become very clear.
One side of the stimulation of Mu Lan’s eyes, completely let Mu Lan some back to God.
Her eyes were slightly red, as if in tears, but soon Mu Lan found that her eyes could not shed a drop of tears at all.
Obviously very uncomfortable, but also can not control such a reaction.
In such mixed and complicated feelings, she held Li Shiyu tightly and did not speak for a long time.
Li Shiyu also noticed the abnormality of the man in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at Mu Lan rubbing his wound carefully, and finally stopped in the position of his chest.
“Worried about me?” Li Shiyu asked.
Mulan grunted, but did not deny: “It’s been so long, and it’s still not ready here.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Li Shiyu explained.
“I don’t think I’ve ever noticed these injuries on your body before.” Mu Lan twisted his eyebrows and opened his mouth quietly.
Li Shiyu looked down and saw that the scars on his body, big and small, were not the result of these years of fighting with Li Shiyuan. But when practicing martial arts, he was injured, and for three years, he was replaced by Qu Huachang when he went to the frontier.
Men are not like women, delicate, the whole body is as clean as new, like an egg is perfect.
These wounds are not shameful, but a symbol of experience, which is not inappropriate.
These memories, but let Li Shiyu suddenly thought of Long Shaoyun.
Therefore, he was familiar with Long Shaoyun very early, but they had very little contact, but it is also an indisputable fact that they spent three years together in the frontier. General
Long Lao was also Li Shiyu’s first master in martial arts.
It’s just that no one in the palace knows about it.
Li Shiyu chuckled, but without much explanation, he helped Mu Lan up: “So Lan Er is caring about me?”
“You flatter yourself.” Mu Lan said angrily.
Li Shiyu also did not affect his mood because of Mu Lan’s words, eyebrows and eyes looked at Mu Lan, but with a faint smile, did not disperse for a long time.
Mu Lan gently pushed the man away and stood up.
Li Shiyu’s action is faster, directly clasped Mu Lan’s hand.
Mu Lan did not resist, and his voice seemed to calm down: “It’s getting dark outside. The market is the most lively in the evening, and there will be more interesting vendors coming out. I want to go out and have a look. Don’t you want to accompany me?”
“Accompany.” Li Shiyu is concise and comprehensive.
“Then why are you holding my hand?” Mu Lan raised his eyebrows.
Li Shiyu looked at Mu Lan, but his eyes were particularly serious, and he said clearly word by word: “If I can, I want to hold on like this and not let go.”
Neither light nor heavy words, but more like a promise, looking at Mu Lan’s eyes is not a moment.
Mu Lan quieted down, hum, is a response.
Li Shiyu suddenly pulled Mu Lan closer and kissed her heavily on her lips. Such a frivolous act was never done by Li Shiyu before, but now it seems particularly presumptuous.
Mu Lan lowered his head and blushed a little, but he didn’t say anything.
And Li Shiyu has loosened Mu Lan, got up to pick up the clothes that slipped on the ground, and then one by one to wear back to Mu Lan, and did not let Mu Lan start.
Even Li Shiyu’s movements looked clumsy, but he still rubbed them carefully. Li Shiyu twisted his eyebrows and wore
a dress for a long time.
Mu Lan also did not open his mouth to urge, as if to enjoy all this.
The years are quiet and good, and Yu Junchang.
Even, finally Li Shiyu very not easy to toss about good time, also appears to be a mess, Mu Lan looked down, Li Shiyu seems to be a little embarrassed, rare embarrassment pinched the eyebrows.
“Are all your girls’ clothes so complicated?” Li Shiyu sighed.
Mu Lan laughs out loud: “Try more next time.”
She stood up neatly, let Li Shiyu drag his skirt, and then neatly re-tied the bandage and adjusted it.
Li Shiyu rarely looked at it with some gaping eyes.
I still don’t understand.
Only after Li Shiyu loosened Mu Lan’s skirt, he naturally held Mu Lan in his arms from behind.
Mu Lan did not struggle, and after a long time he said lightly, “I want to go down and have a look. It’s so lively outside.”
“Good.” Li Shiyu answered.
But as if hugged for a while, this talent loosened Mu Lan, Mu Lan turned around, looked at Li Shiyu, complexion has been restored as usual, but if you look carefully, you will find that Mu Lan’s ears are still a little red, with some invisible sense of shyness.
But Mu Lan soon hid all his emotions and looked at Li Shiyu with a smile.
Li Shiyu naturally bowed his head and kissed him, then carefully put on a mask for Mu Lan again and took her hand and went out.
Mu Lan’s little hand slipped into Li Shiyu’s palm, warm breath came, some slightly hot, but this feeling made Mu Lan feel heart beat faster, as if the heart was heavily brushed, can not stop the heart.
…… The
night market is particularly lively.
If there are not many men and women wearing masks during the day, then the market at night is already full of people, and you can clearly feel such affection in every gesture.
Mu Lan strolled from stall to stall.
I didn’t buy anything more. The
novelty has passed. The
crowd kept coming in the direction of the two people, and Li Shiyu still protected Mu Lan in his arms to avoid the crowd bumping into her.
Mu Lan occasionally lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and the place where he entered his eyes was the hands of the two men, which had never been loosened.
She didn’t speak.
But Mu Lan is very clear, want to hold hands so wantonly, I am afraid it is only this day, after that, there may be no chance. She closed her eyes
slightly, and when she looked up again, her eyes were as calm as usual.
They have come out of the dense market, the surrounding population has obviously decreased a lot, and the hot and dry feeling has disappeared. After the
passion fades, it is gradually calming down.
They are all people in the matter, and they know very well what they are going to face next.
Mu Lan looked down at his toes, and when he wanted to open his mouth, Li Shiyu had already grabbed Mu Lan’s hand and gently rubbed his fingertips with a thin cocoon.
Mu Lan was stunned, and some did not quite understand what Li Shiyu was going to do.
Suddenly, Mu Lan’s wrist came a trace of cold touch, a jade bracelet has slipped into Mu Lan’s wrist, can be hung there, how can not fall down.
Mulan glanced down. The fineness of the
jade bracelet is excellent, the crystal is clear, the jade cloud inside is complete, but it seems that no one has worn it for a long time, and it is still.
People raise jade, and jade also raises people.
This jade bracelet is priceless.
“For me?” Mu Lan was quiet before he asked.
Li Shiyu said, “It’s for you.”
“Why didn’t I know when you bought this?” Mu Lan asked curiously.
She turned the jade bracelet around in the palm of her hand. They were all together that day and had never been separated. She had no memory of Li Shiyu buying these. What’s more, the places they went to could not sell such first-class jade bracelets, so they could only be prepared by this person.
Li Shiyu smiled and did not speak, but seemed to have no meaning to explain.
Mu Lan did not ask much, but did not refuse, but quietly watched, did not take off, but quietly opened his mouth: “I have to go.”
Li Shiyu said, “I’ll take you to the intersection ahead.” He didn’t let go when he was holding Mu Lan.
Mu Lan didn’t refuse.
The two of them walked quietly.
This section of the road is not long, Li Shiyu did not let go of Mu Lan’s hand, the two did not talk, has been walking to the intersection, Mu Lan stopped.
“This is all right.” Mu Lan said.
Her hand quietly pulled out from Li Shiyu’s palm, Li Shiyu looked down at the lost palm, slightly clenched into a fist, and then lost behind her, a faint hum.
All the passion faded, and the two people were separated by a barrier, unable to touch each other.
Mulan nodded and said, “Your Highness, be careful.”
Her address to Li Shiyu became the cold and emotionless Four Royal Highnesses.
Li Shiyu is still in the cold hum.
All the passion faded in an instant.
Mu Lan nodded and turned to walk in the direction of Mu Wangfu. Li Shiyu did not stop him, but he did not leave until Mu Lan’s figure disappeared. Li Shiyu turned away. After
this parting, no one knows what will happen.
They have their own mission, no one can compromise for anyone, Li Shiyu has no right to ask Mu Lan to do anything, just as Mu Lan will not ask Li Shiyu to do anything.
And Li Shiyu gave Mu Lan that jade bracelet, he did not explain
that it was Rong Fei’s close old Mammy later to Li Shiyu.
That is Rong Fei left Li Shiyu is imperial concubine thing, that year Rong Fei already felt that he was going to have an accident, the jade bracelet has been taken off, to the old Mammy, until Li Shiyu sensible, and then to Li Shiyu.
She asked Mammy to tell Li Shiyu that if she met someone she really liked, even if she could not make her a concubine, she could also give this jade bracelet as a gift.
Li Shiyu didn’t care at that time.
First, Li Shiyu did not think that he really wanted to be a concubine. At that time, Yu Wang Fu was already besieged on all sides, and every concubine who came in had a different purpose.
Second, Li Shiyu firmly believed that if he really wanted to set up a concubine, no one could stop him, and naturally this jade bracelet could also be sent out.
But the current situation really caught Li Shiyu by surprise.
Rong Fei seems to have already calculated the general, will prepare the jade bracelet.
And Mu Lan is really Li Shiyu most want to send jade bracelet that person, want to marry, but can not marry.
Li Shiyu is not unable to stop, but he is more aware that if he stops Mu Lan, this matter will become a heart attack between him and Mu Lan, how can not step over, and ultimately is not a good end.
But if we do not stop Mu Lan, then the next thing to face is not necessarily what Li Shiyu is willing to accept.
In the end, Li Shiyu could only stand like this for a long time before he turned around and left quietly.
…… Inside the mansion of
King Mu.
Mu Lan took off his mask and did not bring it into the palace, but the housekeeper Chen, who had been waiting in the side door, heard the noise and hurried out.
See Mu Lan, Chen butler complexion appears particularly intersection and flustered, such Chen butler Mu Lan has never seen, this let Mu Lan quiet down.
But there was no sign of panic on Mulan’s face: “What happened that made you so panicked?”
“Young lady, the prince has come down. He is now in the Snow Tower.” The housekeeper Chen said quickly, “He Xiang is kneeling there again, but no one dares to go in.”. The prince said that he Xiang had neglected his duty, and that he didn’t even know where his master was going.
The voice fell, and Mu Lan’s face darkened.
She really didn’t expect Li Shiyuan to come.
But also so against the decency of things, Li Shiyuan is really unscrupulous to ignore the face of the queen mother and Qu Huachang?
“I see.” Mulan frowned and answered faintly, “I’ll go and have a look now.”
“Young lady..” “You have to be careful. His Highness the Prince has been here all afternoon, and now there are people outside the Snow Fall Building who never leave.”
Mu Lan hum. She turned the mask in her
hand and touched it gently with her fingertips, as if she were looking at the person she loved.
Mu Lan did not know, Li Shiyuan suddenly appeared, is there any accident in the palace, otherwise, now under such circumstances, why Li Shiyuan can stay in Mu Wang Fu is half a day.
Was it discovered?
Mu Lan lowered his eyebrows and hid his emotions very well, and when he raised his eyes again, he looked as if nothing had happened.
Water to earth cover, soldiers will block. It’s no use worrying
now. She
sank and put the mask in the butler’s hand. “Keep this,” she said, “and do not allow any damage.”
Chen butler: “… …”
He really admires Mu Lan, and he still has leisure at this time.
This mask, Chen butler is not a fool, naturally also know what it means, so today Mu Lan went out is a private meeting?
Chen butler can feel more or less, but Mu Lan did not say, Chen butler will not ask, what to do, what not to do, he knows better than anyone else. Looking at Mu Lan’s figure
again, Chen answered respectfully, “Yes, the slave knows.”
Mu Lan did not look back and walked quickly in the direction of the snow falling building.
……
Falling Snow Tower. At the time of
Mu Lan, the slaves of the palace were all stopped outside, and those standing on the periphery were all masters in the palace. Mu Lan knew them one by one. These were all people around Li Shiyuan. Even Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu were stopped, and the sword pointed at their necks.
Two people move again, Mu Lan has no doubt, Li Shiyuan’s cold-blooded, they will fall to the ground.
But now, still can be safe and sound to let oneself see, I am afraid Li Shiyuan also left a thin face for her.
Quiet, Mu Lan looked first to the people present. The
leading bodyguard had already paid his respects: “My subordinates have seen Miss Mu.”
Mu Lan nodded: “Who can explain to me what’s going on?”
The bodyguard answered respectfully, “My subordinates are only following orders.”. Ask Miss Mu to ask the prince himself about other things.
Mu Lan raised his eyebrows, but his voice was cold and faint: “Let go of people.”. The prince knows that if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the thin face, you will kick your nose on the face. Isn’t the person who holds me up holding me up?
