After Qiao Jiming left Mulan, he was drunk all day long, groggy every day, and he didn't know what he was doing.

On that day, he came out of the tavern drunk as usual, and was about to go back to the inn to sleep. Unexpectedly, because of unsteady walking, he bumped into the stall next to him.

He just stood up and continued walking, but found that he was pulled by the stall man: "Hey, why do you want to leave when you break something, you see that my good things have been knocked to the ground by you, and you have to lose money." ”

"Lose money?" Qiao Jiming shook off the man's hand: "I'm about to run out of money for my own drinking, and I'll pay you money, get out, don't pull me." ”

The peddler didn't know how to be good when he met such a scoundrel, but there were so many things that were damaged, and if he was let go, he was afraid that he would have to pay for it in the next month. So I had to shout to the people around me: "Come and see, give me a review, this person knocked down my stall, so many things are broken, and he doesn't lose money." ”

Qiao Jiming saw that everyone else was pointing at him, and for a while, his alcohol was rising, and he stepped forward and grabbed the hawker and said loudly: "I told you that I have no money and you will let me pay for it, I tell you, if you don't have money, you will have one life, or we will compare and compare, anyway, I have nothing, I am not afraid of you." ”

When the peddler saw that so many people were cheering him on, he stiffened his neck and said, "I don't care if you have money or not, even if you borrow money, you will pay for my things." ”

This person couldn't make sense, Qiao Jiming's head was dizzy at this time, and he just wanted to go up and make that person disappear. As if out of his control, his fist struck.

"Beat people, beat people. The people around shouted one after another. Others ran to report to the authorities.

After a short time, someone from the government came and arrested Qiao Jiming. Because there were too many witnesses next to him and he was delirious, he was thrown into prison without trial.

Qiao Jiming stayed in prison all night before he felt that he was gradually sobering up, but he had no memory of what happened yesterday. Looking around, it seems that he is in prison, and he is still a little confused.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, and a man walked in with the man who had captured him yesterday.

Seeing someone coming, Qiao Jiming immediately said: "My lord, I just finished drinking yesterday, and I don't know what happened yesterday, why did I get arrested?"

"You smashed people's stalls yesterday and beat people. But this man has already paid back all the money for you. Don't drink so much in the future, now you can go out. As he spoke, he opened the door to his cell.

Qiao Jiming took a closer look, and that person was actually a wave. Bo Lan couldn't help but say when he looked dumbfounded: "Come out quickly, I still have something to tell you." Could it be that you haven't been in this prison enough and want to stay two more days?"

After coming out, Qiao Jiming said to him: "Why did you come, the emperor sent you?"

Noncommittal, Qiao Jiming frowned. Why did Mu Yunting send him, could it be... Is it because of Mulan's nationality?

Sure enough, Bo Lan patted him on the shoulder and said, "The emperor already knows about you, and he is afraid that you will be depressed, so he specially sent me to send you to Guizhou to take office." ”

"Your Majesty...... Don't blame me for letting Mu Lan elope with me?" Qiao Jiming couldn't believe it. He thought that Mu Yunting would be furious when he found out about this, but he didn't expect that he would send someone to save him.

The Emperor was really powerful, so he knew that he would ask this. So he said according to what Mu Yunting told him: "The emperor has no murderous intentions towards you, as long as you don't get close to the princess, he won't embarrass you." ”

A touch of bitterness surged in Qiao Jiming's heart. As long as he didn't get close to her, he could save his life, but his feelings for her now even he couldn't tell what it was.

Looking at the struggling expression on his face, Bo Lan also understood a little in his heart, and then sighed: "You better go back and pack up, I can send you to Guizhou." As long as you work hard, you may not have no opportunities in the future. The emperor still dotes on his sister very much. ”

However, he had now broken Mu Lan's heart. Qiao Jiming shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything.

Mu Lan ran all the way back to the capital from Chuzhou. didn't bother to go back to the palace to sort out his clothes, so he ran directly to Xu Lianyi.

"It turns out that he was only with me to get revenge on you, and he didn't like me at all. She threw herself into Xu Lianyi's arms and cried.

Xu Lianyi patted her head helplessly: "It's okay, it's not too late to know now, everything will pass." Don't run out so willfully next time. ”

"I'm going to let him go, I'm going to forget about him, I'm going to show him that I can live well without him. Mu Lanji said with a firm face as if he had made up his mind.

Xu Lianyi looked at her a little worried, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to comfortingly let her go back to rest: "You go back and change your clothes, and then sleep well, and when you wake up tomorrow, you will find that there is nothing that you can't do." ”

On the second day, Mu Lanji came to Xu Lianyi's palace as usual, but she always felt that she seemed to be different today.

"Look at my new snack, I got up today and made it purpose. Taste it good or not. Mu Lanyi smiled and took out a piece of dim sum and put it in Xu Lianyi's hand.

Xu Lianyi looked at her carefully, and saw that she really just wanted to taste it, so she took it with some hesitation.

"You...... You really just want me to taste the dim sum you made?" she still couldn't believe she had forgotten about it so quickly.

As if she knew her thoughts, Mu Lanji said seriously: "Don't worry about me, that incident has passed, and I will have nothing to do with him from now on." I know you've been worried about me all this time, and rest assured, I won't be so willful in the future. ”

Looking at Xu Lianyi's stunned expression, she laughed out loud again: "What I said is true, and you can taste this little snack I made, I really think it's delicious." If you like it, I'll go back and do more. ”

Can she really let go so quickly, Xu Lianyi was a little incredulous. But looking at her expression, she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to talk about the side topics while eating the snacks she sent, and observe her expression. But I was more and more worried.

Unexpectedly, Mu Lanji seemed to have a complete insight into her intentions: "I'm really good, you see, I look like something is going on now." Tell me if this little snack I made is good or not, and if there is anything that needs to be improved......"

Seeing her like this, Xu Lianyi had no choice but to suppress the worry in her heart, and accompanied her and said, "I think it's pretty good, I can put more sugar next time......

Xu Lianyi's son was full moon, and Mu Yunting named Mu Jingxi, and ordered a big banquet in the palace to celebrate the little prince. For a time, the palace was very lively, and the ministers came to the banquet with their families.

At the banquet, Mu Yunting took the lead in raising his glass and said: "Today's banquet is to celebrate the full moon of the little prince, please don't be formal." ”

Everyone at the table toasted together: "Congratulations to the emperor and the queen's mother." ”

Xu Lianyi sat next to Mu Yunting and looked at him with a gentle expression. Mu Yunting also looked back at the past. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all raised their glasses. Qiao Jingyuan sat below, with a pair of eyes deep and quiet, making people unable to see their feelings.

An official stood up and said, "Today, the little prince is full of moon, and the whole world should celebrate it. Last time, the draft was canceled due to the flooding of the Yellow River, and those women were not able to see Shengyan, which is a pity. This time, the emperor can't stop it anymore, they have specially prepared a show, planning to perform for the emperor."

Mu Yunting glanced at Xu Lianyi and saw that she didn't have a displeased expression, so she nodded and said, "Call them up, their rehearsal program must be very hard, and I can't live up to their wishes." ”

The official clapped his hands, and a group of women rushed in. These women did not meet the emperor because of the cancellation of the draft due to the last Yellow River flood, and they all looked quite good.

Those people first danced collectively, and the dance posture was still the most beautiful of Wu Peiling, Li Yajing, and Liu Jingyan. Even Xu Lianyi was a little fascinated. She glanced at Mu Yunting and secretly squeezed his hand.

Mu Yunting patted her arm with a smile, and whispered in her ear: "What, are you worried?" Don't worry, no matter what others do, I like you the most. ”

Xu Lianyi lowered her head and said with a smile: "I'm not worried." It's you, so many talented women are coming for you, and you have to worry about dealing with it again. ”

"I have my own way of coping. Mu Yunting raised his head and put on the majesty that the emperor should have. The ensuing aura of the superior made Xu Lianyi feel inexplicably at ease.

Below, the women have finished dancing and are showing off their talents one by one.

Wu Peiling first walked in front of the little prince, Mu Jingxi was not afraid of life, and stared at her with a pair of eyes.

She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Mu Jingxi. Mu Jingxi saw something moving in front of him, and he reached out to grab it, but he didn't expect that the moment he grabbed it, it turned into a rattle. Wu Peiling shook it gently in his ear, making Mu Jingxi giggle, and she always wanted to grab it.

Mu Yunting saw Mu Jingxi laughing, and couldn't help but be happy: "This show is really heartfelt, come here, reward! A pair of white jade bracelets, twenty pieces of silk cloth of various colors, two boxes of special peach blossom rouge, and two jade ruyi." ”

This Wu Peiling is the daughter of Wu Feilang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the women below who have not yet performed their talents are eager to try it when they see that she can get such a reward.

For them, this is already a very rich reward. And even if it's just an ordinary reward, it's a gift from the emperor, and it's an extremely dignified thing. If he is brought back to the palace by the emperor, he must be just around the corner.

Although she was rewarded like this, Wu Peiling didn't show too much surprise, but just knelt down generously and thanked her: "Thank you for the emperor's reward." ”
