"What are you?" asked Qin Xiu, who suspected that something was wrong with his ears, with a hint of uncertainty.

"I, let me be your fiancée, what do you think?" I don't know why, Mu Hualan looked at the rare sluggishness on his face, and the originally somewhat nervous mood suddenly became relaxed, and her tone became more casual when she said this, "Don't refuse first, listen to me." ”

She didn't care whether Qin Xiu wanted to hear it or not, and explained the matter briefly as soon as she opened her mouth.

After listening to her explanation, Qin Xiu knew why he said that, and the corners of his mouth twitched, feeling a little speechless......

It turned out that the martial arts competition broke out on the field of smoky fart, and the smoked people fled in all directions, panicked to avoid the earthy yellow gas, resulting in several stampedes, almost causing a riot, fortunately because the maintenance work was done in place, the riot did not cause, and no one died.

But there was no way to continue recruiting relatives, and Mu Hualan also disappeared in a flash, and the questioning of Prime Minister Zhou was over.

When she appeared in her general's mansion in a flash, she saw her own master who appeared immediately after her, she was relaxed, and she just wanted to say hello, but the next second her head was dizzy, and she fell straight back in front of her......

When she woke up again, it was almost dusk outside, and she found herself lying on the bed in her room, her head turned, and she saw Ning Wang Ai Ming standing next to the window and looking out of the window without knowing what he was looking at.

"Master?" Mu Hualan shouted softly, struggling to straighten up.

"Forcibly use drugs to improve your strength, I haven't seen you for a while, is it a long time? Ning Wang Ai Ming didn't look back when he heard her voice, he still looked out the window and said, his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

But Mu Hualan knew that her master was angry, so she slowly sat up and obediently admitted her mistake: "Master, I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

Hearing this, Ning Wang Ai Ming turned around at this time, the expression on his face was as indifferent as ever, and said with a trace of imperceptible helplessness: "The yuan power in the dantian has been exhausted, and there have even been many cracks, many meridians in the body have collapsed, and the spiritual power has been damaged, in this case, you still dare to use an instantaneous flash, do you want to be a waste person in the future?!"

Mu Hualan also felt the situation in her body, and the miserable injury was much more serious than that of her master Ai Ming.

Those meridians that were broken by the huge Yuan Force had been connected at this time, and they looked all fine, but she knew that these connected meridians were very fragile at this time, as long as she used the Yuan Force, these meridians would be broken again, and it would not be so easy to recover at that time.

"Master......" Mu Hualan shouted softly, knowing that her master was very angry at this time, and she didn't dare to do anything, and there was a very rare trace of coquettishness on her face.

Seeing her like this, Ning Wang Ai Ming sighed in his heart, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, Mu Hualan's father was his brother who was a friend of life and death, so for this apprentice who had lost his parents, he had always been by his side as a daughter, and he taught her everything he had learned in his life, and she was also angry, and she had such high achievements and strength in her grade.

If Ai Zimo is the person who looks most like him, then Mu Hualan is the person whose personality is most similar to him!

"I've already told you that the meridians are connected, you can't use Yuan Li in the next week, don't fight within a month, take care of your injuries, this is Gu Yuan Dan, every one. Don't leave a hidden danger to your body. Ning Wang Ai Ming put an extra white porcelain bottle in his hand on the table.

Guyuan Dan, the sixth-order spirit pill, Dan is as its name suggests, it is to repair and nourish the injuries in the dantian, consolidate the cultivation, and leave no sequelae on the body.

"Thank you, master. Mu Hualan was also polite, and nodded.

"What do you want to do about recruiting relatives in martial arts?" asked Ning Wang Ai Ming after a moment of silence.

Mu Hualan lowered her head and thought for a moment about what she was going to do, but a maid appeared at the door.

"Da-da-" The maid lowered her head and reached out and knocked twice on the door, "Your Excellency, the king's steward asked the slave maid to inform you that someone from the palace had come." ”

"Who's coming?" asked Mu Hualan.

"The person who came is Gonggong Chen, and it seems that he wants you to enter the palace. The handmaid replied.

"I see, you go down first. Mu Hualan waved her hand and motioned for her to step back.

After the maidservant left, Ning Wang Ai Ming walked towards the gate, and said as he walked: "You have a good rest, I will discuss with the emperor, you don't want to recruit relatives, even the emperor can't force you." ”

"Master, I can handle it myself!" Mu Hualan Dao lifted the quilt, stepped on the Lin with both feet, and joked, if his master really went to the emperor because of this matter, Ning Wangfu would definitely have a problem with the emperor, causing His Majesty the Emperor to be jealous, and how could she allow such a thing to happen!

Ning Wang Ai Ming paused and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Master, you can leave it to me to deal with it myself. Mu Hualan looked at Ai Ming stubbornly.

Ning Wang Ai Ming looked at her stubbornness, obviously made up his mind not to make a move, to be precise, he was determined not to make a move from Ning Wangfu, sighed helplessly in his heart, turned around and walked towards the door, leaving a sentence: "You can do it yourself." ”

Although Ai Ming was very cold in this sentence, Mu Hualan knew that what he meant was agreeing to let her solve it by herself.

"Master Xie!" Mu Hualan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ai Ming's back as she left, and then she called in the maid to change her clothes.

Then I went to the reception hall to meet Gonggong Chen, Gonggong Chen is the emperor's personal grandfather, and he followed His Majesty the Emperor when he was still a prince, and he was most trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was the father-in-law who had been by His Majesty's side for the longest time.

Gonggong Chen is also a person who is competing for favor with the concubines in the palace, you must know that sometimes Gonggong Chen's words can change His Majesty's decision, if you want to get His Majesty's mercy, it is obviously a shortcut that will not fail, but Gonggong Chen is not so easy to please.

Therefore, when Mu Hualan was about to arrive at the door of the main hall, she saw her own housekeeper Wang in the hand of Gonggong Chen in the action of stuffing the spirit crystal, although she frowned, but there was nothing, as if she didn't see it, and walked towards the main hall.

When she walked into the main hall, Gonggong Chen had already put the spirit crystal into the storage ring, and was talking to Steward Wang with a smile on his face.

Seeing her come in, Chen Gonggong got up from his seat and saluted: "The miscellaneous family has seen the Lord of Lan, and the Lord of Lanjun is auspicious. ”

"Father-in-law Chen, you're welcome. Mu Hualan said falsely. But he didn't dare to look at the other party, you must know that Gonggong Chen can follow the emperor for so long, not only because the other party has the means, but also because the other party is a monk in the early stage of the seventh order!

And after Mu Hualan arrived, Steward Wang respectfully stepped aside.

"Is there any order from the emperor when Gonggong Chen came to the mansion?" Mu Hualan didn't detour anymore, and went straight to the point.

"The emperor asked the miscellaneous family to pick up the lord of Lanjun into the palace, which is about recruiting relatives through martial arts. "I was not surprised by Mu Hualan's straightforward father-in-law Chen, who had been by His Majesty's side for so long, how could he not know that Mu Hualan's character was like this, so after hearing her question, he also directly came out with his own purpose.

"Yes. Mu Hualan nodded and turned around to the Six Orders Gate, and said as she walked, "Then let's go now, it's not good to let the emperor wait for a long time." ”

Gonggong Chen naturally had no opinion, followed behind her in a slippery manner, and said: "That's naturally good, the emperor may not be in a good mood today, Lord Lan should persuade more, if you are angry, it will not be good." ”

This sentence is obviously a disguised reminder to Mu Hualan, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to follow him more and not to get involved with him because you are in a bad mood.

Mu Hualan bowed her head and made a cold face, making it impossible to see anything from that face.

Gonggong Chen didn't speak anymore, came to the palace in silence, and saw His Majesty the Emperor who was correcting the folds in the imperial study.

Seeing him, whether it was Mu Hualan or Gonggong Chen, they all saluted, and only after the emperor was "exempted" did the two get up. Gonggong Chen shook off the dust in his hand, hung his head slightly in a upright posture, and stood behind His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't greet Mu Hualan either, and asked directly: "Girl Lan, what do you think about the competition to recruit relatives?!"

Regarding His Majesty the Emperor's question, Mu Hualan did not seem surprised at all, her expression was flat, and she replied in a flat tone: "Your Majesty, none of the people on the white recruitment field do not like any of them, and if they are ministers, only if they win the ministers, they can become the ministers' concubines, but none of them won, so naturally none of them can become ministers." ”

Mu Hualan knew very well that none of them had won, that is, none of them could be her concubines.

"Oh, Lan girl, just follow my requirements for the colt, and next time I will choose a colt that fits my heart according to the requirements. His Majesty the Emperor said as he corrected the recital, his expression was neither happy nor angry, and it was impossible to guess what he really thought.

Mu Hualan frowned slightly, what does this mean that she has to continue to choose?!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to forget it, the minister doesn't think that such a competition can select the concubine who is agreeable. Mu Hualan said.

"I believe that it is possible, Lan Yatou has any requirements, and I actually agreed to Lan Yatou, I will definitely do it, I will definitely find a wishful husband for Lan Yatou. His Majesty the Emperor said undoubtedly, and put down his hand to correct and talk about it

Mu Hualan was a little speechless, could she not want it at all?!But looking at His Majesty the Emperor's serious face, she felt a little helpless in her heart, she knew that His Majesty the Emperor would never give up if he didn't find her a colt!

She smiled bitterly in her heart, is this a stone to shoot herself in the foot! If she had known that Xiu could cure the rot, she wouldn't have had to agree to this martial arts competition for the sake of the Seven Star Grass, so that now she can't refuse if she wants to.

Thinking of Xiu, Mu Hualan's heart turned, and she thought of a good idea, a note that could not only get rid of the competition but also not cause any trouble, as soon as this idea came out, the more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt!

She immediately said to His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister's request is 'cooking'!"

"Cooking?" His Majesty the Emperor had a look of surprise on his face.

"Do you want me to participate in the Recruiting Relatives Cooking Competition?" Qin Xiu asked speechlessly, the competition was changed to a 'Cooking Competition', and she could really think of such an unheard of thing as using cooking skills to choose a horse, for such a 666 behavior, should he praise a sentence with a really big brain? Or should he praise a sentence with a really rich imagination?!

"Yes, I want you to participate in the Recruiting Chef Competition. Mu Hualan replied affirmatively, "The referees are the emperor, King Ning, Prime Minister Zhou, some of my ministers and some of the people who were drawn immediately, as long as the food made by the contestants is recognized by most of the judges, you can win the game, and you." ”

"And you, I believe that with your cooking skills, you will definitely be able to win the competition!" Mu Hualan paused and said, "Don't refuse first, you think about it, after you become a colt, you don't want you to perform any pony duties, you can do what you like, I won't interfere with you, and you can also break the marriage contract if you have someone you like in the future." ”

Mu Hualan was very sincere, Qin Xiu also understood what she meant, what happened to Mu Hualan was not very clear, but Qin Xiu also guessed roughly, the popular point is that His Majesty the Emperor insisted on recruiting a horse for her, she was unwilling, but because she had promised it before, she came up with such an idea, so that the problem of recruiting relatives could be solved, and there would be no trouble.

And the reason why he was chosen, although Mu Hualan didn't have it, but Qin Xiu thought about it and figured it out, he chose him because he didn't belong to any party and had nothing to do with anyone in the court, so he could solve the problem of recruiting relatives, and he didn't have to stand in line!

This is indeed what Mu Hualan thinks in her heart, she is not stupid, how can she not know what the emperor is paying attention to, how can she not know the Jiujiu in the hearts of those princes and ministers, how can she not know that the previous competition recruited relatives and relatives, and there are people behind the participants, just pretending not to know!

It is precisely because she knows in her heart that she is desperately injured to win the game! It is because she is unwilling and unwilling to let those people succeed in their conspiracy! She doesn't want to become a pawn! That's all!

The reason why she came up with such a bibimbap this time was because she trusted his cooking skills on the one hand, and because she trusted his character on the other hand, and believed that he would not be bought by those officials! Of course, she did not deny that she still had a good impression of Qin Xiu in her heart!

"......" Qin Xiu really didn't know what was good, should he agree or refuse?
