Volume 1 The Orphan Girl in the Imperial Capital Chapter 40 An IOU

Mu Yunlan was worried about the news of the assassination, and when she heard this, she was a little impatient, and just saw Mu Qingyao who hurriedly followed, and said: "You and my eldest sister will continue to enjoy the lanterns, and I and the imperial uncle still have things, so I won't accompany them." After speaking, he directly pulled Yue Jingxuan and walked forward.

Yue Xiaohan's face changed slightly, her eyes swept over her hand holding Yue Jingxuan's sleeve, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she stepped forward to block her way: "Yun Lan, today is the Shangyuan Festival, you have come out, wouldn't it be a pity not to enjoy the lanterns?" ”

Mu Yunlan looked at him, and a faint mockery flashed in her eyes: "It's a pity not to accompany the beauty, let her be wronged and uncomfortable alone, Uncle Huang, let's go." ”

Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, these three princes are not afraid of dying! The original Mu Yunlan liked you so much, you ignored her, but now that people have changed, they are more attentive, ridiculous!

Yue Jingxuan walked forward with her strength, the corners of his eyes swept over Yue Xiaohan's ugly face, and his irritable mood was a little better because of the noise on the street.

Mu Qingyao followed, looking a little out of breath because of chasing Yue Xiaohan's footsteps, her cheeks were dyed with a hint of pink, and a pair of autumn eyes looked at him with three points of sorrow and three points of grievance, but her words were extraordinarily gentle: "Cousin, didn't Sister Yunlan agree to join us?" ”

Yue Xiaohan stretched her eyebrows, the smile on her face became gentle and polite again, but her fist tightened slightly: "Yun Lan has something else to do, so she left first." ”

"Then let's go enjoy the lanterns." Mu Qingyao's voice was tactful, with a little caution, which was particularly distressing.

"Hmm." Yue Xiaohan nodded and walked with her towards Huanhua Lake, but this time she became more and more absent-minded.

Mu Qingyao secretly clenched her fists, her fingernails pinched her palms hurt, and hatred slowly flowed in her eyes: Mu Yunlan, I don't believe I can't win you!

drove away Yue Xiaohan, Mu Yunlan felt a lot more comfortable: "Tell me quickly, who assassinated Uncle Wen Yu and them?" ”

"Qi family."

Mu Yunlan's expression froze: "Qi family, Concubine Jin's people?" ”

"Well, last time in Fanghua Pavilion, the person who assassinated me was sent by the Ning family, the mother of the second prince, and it was the Qi family who wanted to kill you. The Ning family was born in Wenchen in the end, and they didn't even know that a nail had been pierced in their own people. Yue Jingxuan said it lightly, and his tone was disdainful.

Mu Yunlan gritted her teeth, and two flames lit up in her eyes: "What a Qi family, you actually killed me like this!" "The eldest lady murdered her life, Concubine Jin secretly attacked her twice, Qi Mingwei almost ruined her appearance, this account is settled!

Yue Jingxuan lightly swept her pink cheeks dyed with anger, and said loudly: "You have received the royal reward, and you will enter the palace to thank you after the sixteenth opening of the dynasty." However, you don't have an order with you, the emperor doesn't have to go, but Concubine Jin has to go. ”

Mu Yunlan didn't understand what he meant at first glance, but after a while, she reacted, and looked at him with bright eyes: "Uncle Huang, will you help me?" ”

Yue Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, and called Uncle Huang when he needed to use him: "Why should I help you." ”

"You see, we have all lived and died together many times, I am in trouble, you help me very much, another day you are in trouble, I will stick a knife in your ribs! How, isn't it exciting? Mu Yunlan smiled like a flower.

Yue Jingxuan made a thoughtful look, paused for a while and shook his head: "No." ”

Mu Yunlan choked up with a smile, and looked at him with your ruthless, unjust, and unreasonable eyes: "Okay, if you don't help, I'll ...... again" and then think of another way......

"It's not that I can't help," Yue Jingxuan interrupted her, "Let's make an IOU." ”

"What, IOU?"

"Yes, write you, Mu Yunlan owes this king a favor, and if the king of Japan is expelled, he must pay it back."

I always felt that someone wanted to harm me, Mu Yunlan trembled, and the tiger lamp in her hand also jumped. Yue Jingxuan swept over the round paper tiger, only to feel that it was getting more and more stupid.

"How's it going, have you figured it out? I'll help you get angry in exchange for a favor, it's very cost-effective. Yue Jingxuan's narrow phoenix eyes shone brightly, with an aura of seduction without a trace.

Mu Yunlan thought about it seriously, and when she looked up, she saw his eyes, and suddenly felt a thrill, and the intuition she had cultivated over the years told her that the man in front of her was extremely dangerous: "Oh, no need, I'd better figure it out myself." ”

Yue Jingxuan retracted his gaze absently, his expression was the same as usual, with a gentle smile, which caused many women around him to blush. Mu Yunlan saw a girl covering her lips tightly with her hands at the moment when Yue Jingxuan swept her, her face turned red and her eyes were full of tears, and she was suffocated with excitement, she was afraid that she was going to faint.

Ignorant girl, don't you know that the man in front of you is a water demon? Beauty is beautiful, and if you are not careful, you can drown!

Yue Jingxuan's voice was cold: "You seem to have an opinion about me?" ”

"Nope!" Mu Yunlan denied it categorically, "I'm just looking at how many women have secretly promised you Uncle Huang." "When I go back tonight, there must be a lot of girls who can't sleep at night......

Mu Yunlan tossed the tiger lamp in her hand from time to time, and couldn't help but show a bright smile when she saw its beard fluttering up and down. As everyone knows, there are also many sons next to him whose hearts are throbbing, because of how much love she has touched.

"Nothing to see, let's go back." The two unconsciously walked to the edge of Huanhua Lake, and Yue Jingxuan looked at the men and women who secretly followed behind him, and a strong sense of boredom rose in his heart.

Mu Yunlan nodded, if it weren't for the clothes made by the nurse to come out to show off and show off, she would have practiced at home tonight: "Good ......"

Before a good word could be spoken, there was a sudden bang in the sky, and a firework suddenly rose into the air and exploded in the sky.

Mu Yunlan looked at the sky blankly, and unconsciously murmured: "It's so beautiful......"

Yue Jingxuan raised his eyes, looking at the flowers that were rapidly disappearing in the sky, his eyes were empty and lonely, the imperial capital was still so vain, it had never changed since he left eight years ago.

Mu Yunlan turned her head happily, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw his expression.

He stood silently, his eyebrows were cold, and there was no warmth around him, even the curvature of his hair swept by the breeze was cold. The feeling that he was alone and prosperous and he was standing alone had never been seen in anyone.

"Uncle Huang, I thought about it carefully, I still promise you, when do you think I will write you an IOU?" Mu Yunlan suddenly spoke.

Yue Jingxuan paused slightly: "Why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”

"I found that you have a very special status in the palace, even the emperor respects you very much, and it is not impossible for me to deal with Concubine Jin myself, but the price is too big to pay, and it is not worth it. It's stupid not to take this shortcut with you, so I'll give you an IOU. ”

Mu Yunlan looked around, except that the lanterns were all lanterns, and there was nothing that could be used as a token, and finally simply stuffed the tiger lamp in his hand into his hand: "This should be regarded as a token, there is no pen and paper now, when I finish writing the IOU, I will send it to you when I enter the palace tomorrow." ”

Yue Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the stupid tiger in his hand. The tiger lamp flickered, and his beard trembled slightly.

Until the two of them separated and returned to the house, Mu Yunlan was still a little pity, a good tiger lantern was actually used as a mortgage, and she wanted to take it back to show the nurse, but along the way, Yue Jingxuan peeked at it many times, thinking that he liked it very much and was embarrassed to say, give it to him if he gave it to him, after all, he still owes favors.

At the gate of the palace, Tianshu saw Yue Jingxuan coming back, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master, you are back." ”

"Well," Yue Jingxuan lowered his head and swept the silly tiger in his hand, his eyes were still disgusted, he was stupid, but now that the candle was burned, he didn't even feel a little stupid, "...... Find some candles that fit in your lanterns. ”

"Yes." Tianshu looked at the strangely shaped tiger lantern and paused for a moment before agreeing.

Yue Jingxuan lit the tiger lamp and hung it at the head of the bed, and poked the upturned beard with his fingers: "It's still disliked by people." He said this, but he did not take it down.

At the beginning of the sixteenth day of the first month, Mu Yunlan got up early and took out a red Baidie dress to change into, this dress was also prepared by the nurse recently, she felt that it was too flamboyant and had never worn it: "Nurse, green sleeves, come and help me dress up, dress up, I want to enter the palace today." ”

The two were surprised.

Wu stepped forward to help her comb her hair: "Miss, you didn't enter the palace so formally in the past, why did you pay extra attention today." ”

"I'm going to do something big today." Mu Yunlan brushed the large butterfly and begonia flowers on the red collar, thinking about the appearance of Feng Jingyu last time, she learned from him to hook the corners of her lips evilly, and suddenly, her originally light and clear face was more charming and flamboyant, she patted her cheeks, "Green sleeves, give me the eyebrows, I will draw them myself." ”

After tossing for nearly half an hour, Mu Yunlan stood up, flicked her sleeves and suddenly turned around, her wide red sleeves curled bewitchingly: "How is it?" ”

Qingsleeves stood dumbfounded, half-open mouth and couldn't come back to his senses, but Wu was well-informed, and barely found his voice: "Miss is really beautiful." ”

Mu Yunlan hooked her lips and smiled, and stroked the dazzling gilt silk on her head: "Okay, then I will enter the palace." ”

Looking at Mu Yunlan's fluttering figure, Qingsleeve pinched herself: "Mother Wu, just now Miss said that she was going to enter the palace to do something big, and I always felt that this matter would be very good." ”

Wu slapped her and chuckled: "Miss is different today, she is famous in the imperial capital, and she should be publicized." ”

Qingsleeve covered the head that was hurt by the pat, and secretly pouted: Miss is afraid that she is not a little more publicized today......

In the palace, Concubine Jin raised her hand to look at the dyed dankom, with a hint of sharpness in the corners of her eyes: "Mama Qin, Mu Yunlan will enter the palace today to thank the palace, right?" ”

A solemn-faced grandmother put down the bird's nest porridge in her hand: "Yes, it will be almost there in half an hour." ”

Concubine Jin slowly raised her eyes, and her fingertips gently brushed the cup on the table: "Mama, this time my father sent you in to let you help me plot, do you know what to do?" ”

Mama Qin stood with her hands down, her eyes lowered and the rules were strict: "Niangniang, don't worry, that thorn in your heart, the old slave will definitely help you pull her out completely." ”
