Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 9 A pair of beautiful people

Back in her yard, Mu Yunlan was so cold that her face turned blue.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her dripping appearance, she was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Prepare water and clothes, I'm going to bathe."

"Yes."

Entering the house, Mu Yunlan stiffly took off the clothes that were frozen into ice cubes on her body, and trembled: "Damn the water demon!" ”

After soaking in the hot water for a while, she felt alive again. There was a bruise on his right wrist, which was pinched by the water demon in the water: "It's not good if you encounter it, hum!" She remembers all the new and old hatreds, and she will definitely get them back one by one when she finds an opportunity in the future.

In the next few days, she exercised quietly in the yard, teaching her younger brother to read and write, while thinking about the next plan.

In the past few days, she has sorted out the memories of the original owner in her mind, and has become more and more aware of the complicated situation of the Mu family, especially the backyard, which can be said to be intricate and messy.

In her previous life, her parents were deeply affectionate, and the population of her family was simple, so she didn't have to deal with the back house at all. Later, after losing her parents and brother, she was ordered to enter Beijing and live in the palace for a while.

At that time, several princes were vying to marry her, just to get the support of the military forces behind her, which provoked many people to secretly attack her, and she realized that the battles between women were sometimes bloodier than the battlefield.

"Miss, the maid Lu'e next to the eldest lady came over and said that she invited you to the East Courtyard."

"The East Courtyard? I'm still grounded! ”

"The slave maid said, then Lu'e only said to let you go."

Mu Yunlan looked at her dress, she was dressed in a plain blue Luo skirt, it was not rude to see someone, so she simply didn't change it: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

The east courtyard is nearly one-third larger than the west courtyard, and it is also more ornate and elaborately built. Walking in it, I only feel that one step at a time, the scenery is extraordinarily pleasing to the eye.

Lu'e has been respectfully leading the way, and when she came to the garden, she had just turned the cloister and heard a pleasant laughter.

I saw that in the water pavilion at the end of the corridor, the curtains on three sides hung lightly, and the noon sun was very good, shining on the curtains dazzlingly.

Mu Qingyao, who was wearing a goose yellow embroidered peony Luo skirt, was sitting at the table, pursing her lips and smiling happily, the sun shining on her side face through the curtains, only making people feel that her face was like jade and fragrant, more dazzling than the sun.

Next to her sat a man in bamboo blue clothes, with deep facial features and a handsome appearance, especially a pair of ink-colored eyes, smiling and staring, full of tenderness and warmth.

The two sat opposite each other, and people couldn't help but sigh: What a couple!

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, a trace of mockery flashed in Mu Yunlan's eyes. Isn't this person her fiancΓ© Yue Xiaohan, who hasn't shown up for a long time!

It stands to reason that her father is a concubine, even if she is the concubine of the third room, compared to Mu Qingyao and others, she is slightly inferior in terms of identity, and the position of the princess should not be her turn to sit.

However, her mother was born in the Lin family, the Lin family has been a scholar for generations, and her maternal grandfather Lin Yuan is amazingly talented, and has served as a veteran of the two dynasties.

After she fell in love with Yue Xiaohan, the third prince, at first sight, the Lin family specially asked her grandfather to ask the emperor, and finally let her get her wish.

It's just that this incident poked the eldest lady's lung tube alive.

The biological mother of the third prince is the eldest lady's own sister, and originally according to the eldest lady's plan, she was going to marry Mu Qingyao to Yue Xiaohan, cousin, cousin, kiss and kiss.

Who would have wanted her to be forced to stir up, think about it, the eldest lady hates her so much, there is also this reason.

"Sister Yunlan, you're here, why don't you come?" When Mu Qingyao saw Mu Yunlan, the smile in her eyes faded, "I was talking to the third prince, I didn't notice you coming." ”

Mu Yunlan walked into the pavilion and saluted slightly to the three princes: "I've seen the three princes." ”

Listening to her cold voice, Yue Xiaohan couldn't help but cast her gaze.

She was wearing a plain blue Luo skirt, and she walked slowly to the skirt. A head of ink-like hair was held by a hosta, not like an ordinary woman's forehead, but completely raised, revealing a smooth forehead like jade, so that the beautiful face rushed straight into the eyes, and the eyes of the people who were shaking were dizzy.

Yue Xiaohan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he knew that Mu Yunlan was beautiful, but his temperament was too cowardly, like a delicate flower that would wither at any time.

And now she hasn't seen her for a while, she has retreated from cowardice, and her bearing is cold and arrogant, although she is only slightly exposed, but she is already quite elegant.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you, why don't you let Sister Yunlan get up?" Mu Qingyao spoke casually, revealing a sense of intimacy with Yue Xiaohan everywhere.

"Sister Yunlan is exempt, I was distracted just now."

Mu Yunlan walked to the pavilion and sat down: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Mu Qingyao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Mu Yunlan in surprise, didn't this girl like the third prince very much before, and tried her best to ask for this marriage, which ruined her good deeds, how did she change her appearance today.

Yue Xiaohan said gently: "I asked my cousin to invite you over, a lot of things have happened these days, I haven't been able to come to see you, but you complain about me in your heart?" ”

Mu Yunlan raised her eyes, looking at his eyes with tenderness and friendship, and inexplicably thought of the water demon who had hurt her twice, but the man in front of her was really warm and peaceful when he smiled, but the water demon made people's hearts furious.

"The third prince laughed, you are the prince of the prince, even if you have a marriage contract with me, but in the end your parents and my parents belong to the monarch and ministers, it is a matter of love to come, and it is natural not to come."

Mu Yunlan's tone was polite and detached, without the slightest hint of the previous shyness and admiration, Yue Xiaohan smiled lightly when she heard it, and sighed slightly:

"You still blame me."

Mu Qingyao looked at Yue Xiaohan tenderly, and explained to him softly: "Sister Yunlan, you really misunderstood. It's not that my cousin doesn't come to see you, but he was sent out by the emperor on an errand, and after he came back, he contracted a cold and recuperated for a long time, and now he just happened to come to see you. ”

Mu Yunlan turned her head to look at her, and a hint of mockery quickly flashed in her eyes: "Yes, only my younger brother is in my third room now, and it is indeed inconvenient to come to the door." ”

If she really made a special trip to see her, why didn't she come to the West Courtyard, but came to the East Courtyard, and asked her to come over to meet, obviously seeing her was just by the way, but she also made this thoughtful appearance.

Mu Qingyao's breath choked, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She has always been favored in the house, and which of her sisters at the bottom did not hold her for offering, when had she ever been ridiculed like this!

"Originally, my cousin was going to see you in the West Courtyard, but you were grounded by your grandfather because of what happened before, so this is ...... My sister should be careful in the future, so as not to make my grandfather angry. ”

Yue Xiaohan took a sip of the teacup, with a gentle expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard the confrontation between the two sisters.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Mu Yunlan had no intention of wasting any more time: "Well, what my sister said is that I still have the Book of Filial Piety that I haven't finished copying, so I will go back and continue to be grounded, and I will not be with me." "It's polite to accompany them here, it's better to go back and practice your skills!

As soon as she stood up, she saw a pale-faced mother-in-law suddenly pounce: "Mu Yunlan, you can't die well!" You treat your subordinates so harshly and disregard people's lives, you will be punished! ”
