Chapter 40: Keeping the Promise
Mo Lan stuffed the last piece of dim sum on the table into Mo Ran's mouth, and promised to accompany her out for a while to shop for New Year's goods, and let her go to freshen up and dress up.
Song Fuyue put down the teacup in her hand, glanced at Blue Butterfly, and motioned for her to take everyone out.
"You took your sister away, what do you have to say to your mother?"
Mo Lan saw through herself at a glance, and cooperated with everyone to take everyone away, and couldn't help but sigh at the intelligence of her mother.
"Father will come back in two days, I think the invitation from the concubine has also been prepared, mother, the daughter knows that it is very rebellious to say this, but the marriage between the daughter and the fifth prince must be withdrawn!"
Mo Lan picked the nail cover of her left hand with her right hand, and if a daughter said that she would withdraw from her marriage in this era, her parents would naturally not agree.
What's more, her marriage with the fifth prince was decided by the first emperor, although the holy decree said that as long as she was unwilling, this family affair could be annulled.
Seeing that she was about to get married, the concubine did not mention the marriage again except for inviting her into the palace for a meal before the New Year every year and buying two clothes.
But she can't say in public that she doesn't want to marry the fifth prince, and his voice among the emperor's heirs is still quite high.
Song Fuyue looked embarrassed at her, and chuckled, "Your father discussed this matter with me before leaving, originally you couldn't cultivate, thinking that in order for you to live a better life in the future, you have to promote this marriage no matter what, but the fifth prince is becoming more and more unseemly, when you go to Guoan Temple, he and the Qian family's unsuccessful person hugged and hugged him on the street at the door of the house, and your father and I have long been dissatisfied, and now you are unwilling, then find a way to withdraw from this marriage." ”
Then she sighed softly, "Don't worry, when your father comes back, I will mention this matter to the emperor in the next year." ”
Mo Lan noticed her sighing softly, knowing her worries, she was very moved in her heart, even if she was worried about this matter, she was secretly afraid that she would find out.
She leaned on Song Fuyue's shoulder, with a happy face, Song Fuyue gave her endless favor, making her forget the days when she was bullied in the orphanage, and the dark days when she was cultivated.
I remember when she was seven years old, a couple with beautiful faces adopted her, and she thought that she had parents to love her.
Later, in the room full of shackles, she saw one child after another being brought in, and every day they had to beat each other's heads to the point of bleeding for a meal.
Each child has an opponent, and only one survives to the end, a week before adulthood, and only those who eat each other can get out from there.
For three years, she trained there brutally for three years, day and night afraid of the arrival of that time, afraid that she would dissect the companion who had been with her for ten years, and eat his flesh alive to survive.
Fortunately, it was later destroyed by the police, and countless children were rescued, and all the people they had been trained were treated intensively and retrained to become normal people.
After successfully becoming a doctor, she saw the places where the war broke out and looked at the children who were suffering, and she still applied to join the aid group.
In those years, she deeply knew that only by constantly working hard could she live the life she wanted.
After the explosion crossed, for the first time, she realized that she could live a good life without working hard, which made her intoxicated, making her more and more decadent and losing her fighting spirit.
I don't pay much attention to the outside things, by the way, after the restaurant opens, she will give Wen Li a new job!
"Mother, my daughter has a plan to let the fifth prince come out of the marriage before the emperor!"
Mo Lan's eyes flashed with a wicked smile, Song Fuyue looked at Mo Ran who ran in from outside, and whispered in Mo Lan's ear: "Let it go, my mother supports you!" ”
"Mother! What are you talking about? ”
Mo Ran frowned and pouted, his fleshy face looked very pinched.
Mo Lan sat up straight, "It's nothing, my mother just told me that you are doing your homework at home during this time, and let me go out and give you some rewards later." ”
Mo Ran wore a pink jacket, which was the fur of the spirit beast that Mo Lan had hunted before, the pattern was drawn before leaving, the style was novel in this era, Mo Lan suddenly had a plan, she would have to take a good turn when she went out in a while!
It was snowing when she went out, Mo Lan reached out to catch the snowflakes, she remembered that it didn't snow in the first year she came here, but it was very cold, could it be that she changed history, so everything after that changed?
Soon, the snow covered the earth, and she and Mo Ran had to find a teahouse to rest temporarily, Mo Ran was not afraid of the cold, picked a position by the window, leaned on the railing and looked down.
Many people came out of the streets of the capital to clear the snow, and the flaming red lanterns were hung all over the streets, and even though it was snowing, the cries of selling still came and went.
Everyone is dressed for festivities, and there are three days to go before Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is a custom in the capital for the New Year, that is, to set up a ring at the most lively street in the city, starting on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month and ending at the end of the unitary hour, and those who can guard until the last moment can obtain a promise from the emperor that is not related to the future and safety of the country.
Inadvertently glancing at the person who had been following her since she went out, Mo Lan suddenly raised her voice, "Ran'er, let's go and take a look at the battle of the day after tomorrow, I heard that the one who wins can get a promise from the emperor." ”
The man with the hood not far away clenched the teacup in his hand and promised!
Mo Ran clasped his hands together and looked longing, "The emperor's promise, by the way, why don't I fight for my sister, so that your marriage with the fifth prince will ......"
Halfway through her words, she winked at Mo Lan, who naturally knew that she wanted to use this promise to help her break the marriage, but this was not her intention.
Picking up a piece of cake and stuffing it into her mouth, Mo Lan smiled shyly, "Everyone, shut up!" ”
Mo Ran looked at her disappreciatively, "What's this, who doesn't know about you and the five princes?" ”
Mo Lan saw her continue to fiddle with a few plates of pastries on the table, and the meat whirred, after all, she couldn't help but stretch out her claws.
Bai Yu whined in the space, it was very excited to see that it was snowing outside, Mo Lan warned it not to run around, released it, and looked at the people walking in the distance, it turned into a little milk dog in an instant and lay on Mo Lan's shoulder and trembled its buttocks.
Mo Lan chuckled in his heart, originally thinking that he would stay in Jizhou and would not come back before the New Year.
On the road, someone had already noticed Gong Yi, the noble momentum, and the mysterious mask, the crowd dispersed a lot, and even more boldly began to scream far away.
Originally, she planned to send Mo Ran home after eating the pastries, and then go to see the shop where Xin Yi had come down, but she met him before she went home.
"I heard that there was a son in Dingyin Pavilion yesterday who was dressed like this king, and today I went out to see if I could meet by chance, but I didn't expect to meet the two young ladies of the Mo family."
Mo Ran opened his mouth and stared at King Qi who was so close, forgetting to salute and speak.
Mo Lan tugged at her for a moment, and only then did she react and salute, her body trembled a little, that was the living Hades!
Gong Yi looked at the large red spots on Mo Lan's face, as well as the two handsome men behind her, and frowned, "This king still has something to do, go first!" ”
Mo Lan grabbed Mo Ran's hand and nodded dog-leggedly, "Lord Wang, go slowly!" ”
