Chapter 185: Two Means

Bizhu glared at her: "Don't make a mess, Miss has her own plans." ”

Mu Yunlan smiled silently, returned to Xinning Courtyard to change clothes, and went to the other courtyard to find Lin Zi'an.

Lin Zi'an, Lin Ye, and Mu Yunfan had just finished eating together, and when they saw her coming, they asked Lin Ye to take Mu Yunfan to rest: "Yunlan, why did you come here so late?" ”

Mu Yunlan walked up to him and pinched his shoulders for him: "Grandpa, I just went to attend the dust washing banquet they prepared for the imperial uncle." ”

"Oh? What happened? ”

"Well, it's exactly the same as you expected before, someone embarrassed me, and talked about my reputation in the imperial capital, I followed my grandfather's teachings and didn't let them get a bargain."

"But looking at you, I'm still not happy." Lin Zi'an looked back at her.

"Grandpa, there are many forces in Yunnan, and Uncle Huang's situation is too special, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." She spends a lot of time on the art of war and strategy, and is not good at fighting between people, after all, this kind of confrontation between you and me is too complicated, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

"Since you're not good at it, keep it simple."

"Simplification?"

"Come and play a game of chess with grandpa."

Mu Yunlan nodded, she chose the sunspot first, she was a little uneasy at first, but gradually she was also attracted by the confrontation on the chessboard, and slowly immersed all her mind into it, and for a while only the sound of the falling child was left in the room.

Soon, when she arrived at a joint point, Mu Yunlan stopped thinking about it.

Lin Zi'an said slowly: "Life is like chess, the chessboard is criss-crossed like heaven and earth, and the chess pieces are scattered like life. ”

As he spoke, the movement in his hand was extremely fast, and he fell directly, causing a loophole in the layout of the entire white son.

Mu Yunlan was overjoyed and left behind. But in the next step, Lin Zi'an fell again, not only filling the previous loopholes, but also trapping her chess pieces.

"This ...... Grandpa ...... "Originally, she had the upper hand, but she lost all her advantages in just an instant.

Lin Zi'an pointed to the chessboard: "When you played these chess pieces, in fact, I have been secretly guiding you, this trap has been laid out a long time ago, but you didn't find it, so in the end, I can easily defeat you." ”

Mu Yunlan nodded, that is to say, how she will fall has long been expected by her grandfather, guiding the other party to do things according to her own wishes, this is manipulation.

"If you lose, you can't save the situation."

Mu Yunlan looked at the chessboard and thought about it, but after a while, she still frowned and shook her head: "I watched it for a long time, but I still feel that there is no possibility of turning the tables." ”

Lin Zi'an got up, took the saber from the wall of the study, and directly cut off the chessboard, the flag collapsed, and crackled to the ground: "Completely ruined the chessboard, where is there still winning or losing?" ”

Mu Yunlan looked at the chess pieces and couldn't come back to her senses for a while.

"Yun Lan, now you are the princess of Ning'an, with a special identity, so, you have to deal with it carefully, people are harmless to the tiger, the tiger hurts people's hearts, the status is high, and the enemy is also strong, so you have to be very careful, but you don't need to be as cautious as before, you should have the bearing, the prestige of the tree should be tree, and the person who should be killed should be killed!

If you have the heart, you can try to manipulate others to achieve the goal, if you really can't cope with it, you can quickly cut through the mess, and no one wants to win if you overturn the chess game! ”

Mu Yunlan threw away the chess pieces in her hand, and suddenly laughed: "I understand, thank you grandpa." ”

"Okay, it's not early, you're not in good health, go back and rest."

"Hmm. Grandpa also rested early. “

"Okay."

Walking out of the side courtyard, Mu Yunlan only felt that her heart was open, yes, it's a big deal to break the chessboard, no one should play, what is there to be afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there are ways to deal with it, not to mention, now her status is still high, and she doesn't have to be a fool to rely on!

Yue Jingxuan came back from the study, thinking about coming to talk to his wife, and saw her sleeping sweetly.

He walked outside and saw that Qingsleeve was about to go out with water, so he called out to her: "Is the princess unhappy when she comes back?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, when the princess first came back, she seemed a little worried, but she went to Emperor Lin's place, and she was happy when she came back, so she asked the slave to leave a lamp for you, and went to sleep first."

"Well, you go down."

"Yes."

After Yue Jingxuan finished washing, he went to bed and lay down beside her, and gently held her hand: Grandpa is the most enlightening person, and he should be fine.

The next day, when Mu Yunlan woke up, Yue Jingxuan also opened his eyes.

A group of four maids walked in, holding tea cups, spittoons, handkerchiefs, basins, etc., plus green sleeves and blue beads, and suddenly the room seemed to be much more crowded.

Yue Jingxuan got up for a moment, and saw Mu Yunlan being served to rinse his mouth and wash his face, a little smile flashed in his eyes, his princess was beginning to enjoy her power.

Sensing her gaze, Mu Yunlan raised her eyes and looked over, and smiled at him proudly, her expression was extremely smuggling.

The smile in Yue Jingxuan's eyes deepened, his throat moved slightly, suppressed the smile that was about to speak, and gently hooked the corners of his lips: no matter what she looked like, she was extremely likeable.

When the maids saw that Yue Jingxuan also got up, they couldn't help but hesitate, do they need to serve the prince?

Seeing their sight, Qing Sleeves ordered directly at them: "Okay, I will serve the princess, you all go down." ”

"Yes."

Yue Jingxuan was not used to being served closely, so she waited for Bizhu to bring the water, washed herself, sat on the edge of the bed and watched Yun Lan comb her hair, and then accompanied her to breakfast.

After the carefully prepared meal, rumors have spread in the palace that the princess's rules are greater than that of the prince.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunlan immediately instructed Qing Sleeve: "Call all the subordinates of Xinning Courtyard over, scold them ten times, and punish them for kneeling for half an hour, to see who dares to chew the root of their tongue." ”

This is someone else's mansion, naturally it is impossible to govern it into an iron bucket, but the rules that should be set up must also be established, she doesn't want to just say a word, and the next moment it will spread throughout the entire Zhan Mansion.

"Yes, miss."

Zan Yuan came to report the results of yesterday's banquet, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of subordinates kneeling in the sun in the courtyard, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but move.

"Lord Zhancheng, the prince invites you to go to the study to reply." Tianshu greeted him.

Zan Yuan waited for the passage and entered the study, and his eyes couldn't help but move fiercely.

Mu Yunlan was holding a secret letter in his hand, the fire paint on the secret letter had just been opened, and it carried the seal of the Seven Star Guard, and those secret letters had always been qualified to be opened only by the master Yue Jingxuan......

"Lord Zan City, you're here."

"I've seen the prince, I've seen the princess, the snake appeared at the banquet last night has been investigated, it was Zhu Ying, the daughter of Zhu Shitong, who was fed medicine, the green snake was extracted, and it won't hurt people, she raised it for a few days, but she didn't expect to pay attention when she came to the banquet, and she brought it in, which caused a misunderstanding."

As soon as Zan Yuan's voice fell, Qingsleeves walked in: "Princess, Zhu Shitong and his daughter Zhu Ying are kneeling outside the courtyard and pleading with you. ”

Mu Yunlan put down the secret letter in her hand and smiled slightly: "It was not me who was most frightened yesterday, but the ladies who came to the banquet to tell Zhu Ying that this princess thought that she was an unintentional mistake, so she would not be held accountable." However, if the other ladies at the banquet can't chase after them, then it's not up to me to manage it, let her apologize one by one. ”

"Yes, miss."

Mu Yunlan looked at Zan Yuan and smiled apologetically: "I didn't expect it to be just a misunderstanding, but I bothered the city lord to make a special investigation." ”

"It's the subordinates' negligence, and when the princess says this, it's torturing her subordinates."

Mu Yunlan was noncommittal: "Lord Wang, you must have something serious to discuss, I won't bother here, go back to the room first." ”

"Well, I'll go back to lunch with you later."

"Okay."

Out of the study, Mu Yunlan was seeing the person kneeling at the gate of the courtyard, the middle-aged man Zhu Shitong, who had seen the banquet last night, the seat was at the end of the banquet, and the whole banquet was accompanied by a smiling face, and he didn't say a word. His woman Zhu Ying's appearance is outstanding, but she always feels very familiar between her eyebrows......

Seeing Mu Yunlan come out, Zhu Ying immediately shouted loudly: "Princess, the courtiers know that they are wrong, please be magnanimous and spare me!" ”

Mu Yunlan frowned, she just asked her to apologize, how did she feel as if she was going to kill her.

Qingsleeve walked back helplessly: "Miss, I haven't finished speaking, Miss Zhu kowtowed vigorously, saying that she was innocent, it was an unintentional mistake......" She had never seen someone who could cry like this, and the tears kept falling down, as if they couldn't dry.

Mu Yunlan bowed her head slightly and walked slowly in front of Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying immediately knelt forward two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the hem of Mu Yunlan's skirt: "Princess, I really didn't mean it, if you are really angry, please punish me, don't implicate my father......"

"Presumptuous!" Qingsleeve scolded, and waved Zhu Ying's hand away, "Miss Zhu, disrespectful to the princess, the crime is even greater!" ”

Zhu Ying knelt on the ground with a pale face, looking pitiful: "Princess, the courtiers know that they are wrong, the courtiers didn't mean it, please forgive me, please ......"

"Miss Zhu!" Mu Yunlan interrupted her, "The city lord has already made it clear that it was your unintentional mistake to bring the snake into the hall yesterday. Although I pay attention to the rules, I am not strict, I forgive you, I will not hold you accountable for your mistakes, nor will I hold your father accountable, I just need you to apologize to the other frightened ladies, understand? ”

Mu Yunlan's voice was cold, but her eyes were calm without the slightest wave, which made Zhu Ying's face pale and pale.

"Yes...... Yes, I see. ”

"Now that you understand, let's go down."

"Yes, thank you for your magnanimity."

Zhu Ying got up, Xu was kneeling for a long time, and her feet were unstable and almost hit Mu Yunlan headlong.

Fortunately, Qingsleeve on the side always paid attention to her, and helped her up away from Mu Yunlan: "Miss Zhu, please be careful." ”
