The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 140 Five: The Debt Is Hard to Repay

Strange to say, looking at the bright smile in front of him, the pain in Dong Lingjue's heart disappeared unconsciously, replaced by an inexplicable sense of peace and satisfaction.

"Perhaps, otherwise, you should have been chopped off by me many times for your treachery." Dong Lingjue feigned anger, but slightly tightened his grip on her hand, and said, "So, just stay by my side like this." Bar."

Hasn't he always been domineering?Why are you so talkative today?Although Mu Lan found it strange, she liked him a little bit, and couldn't help provoking him: "Since you are the one who owes the debt, how can you forcibly detain the creditor?"

Dong Lingjue twitched the corners of his lips, and said as a matter of course: "If you stay by my side, I will pay you back, won't I?"

"Then if the concubine leaves, wouldn't it be better if you don't have to pay it back?" Mu Lan was half joking and half seriously probing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the hand holding her was tightened violently.Dong Ling glanced at her unhappily, and said: "I'm not the kind of person who never pays back my debts, so if you dare to leave, you will fall into my injustice, and the consequences will be very serious."

Mu Lan's hand hurt from his grip, so she had to compromise and said, "It's just talking, where else can I go?" It was just a joke, but he took it seriously.

Besides, this world has only seen creditors who are chasing after them. How can a debtor force the creditor to accept repayment?

"Don't worry, I won't make you regret it." Dong Lingjue said calmly as if he saw through the uneasiness hidden in her eyes.

Mu Lan's heart darkened slightly. Did he know what she wanted and what was he worried about?Just saying so brazenly won't make her regret it?If she stayed, maybe one day he would be the one who regretted it.

While talking, he had already arrived at Jinfu Palace, Wu Yong raised the curtain and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Concubine De, it's snowing outside, why don't you wait for the slaves to prepare umbrellas first."

Mu Lan looked outside the tent upon hearing the words, and sure enough, under the illumination of the palace lanterns, she could clearly see feather-like snowflakes slowly drifting down from the air, falling silently on the branches and the ground.

This scene made Mu Lan a little happy for a while, she liked the snowy weather, so she stopped Wu Yong and said, "Eunuch Wu, don't bother, just walk in like this."

Seeing the expression on her face, Dong Ling couldn't help but smile, and he got off the imperial chariot with her, but he still held her slender body by his side to protect her from the cold wind.

"Before I said I was afraid of the cold, but don't catch the cold just for the sake of the picture."

Mu Lan was also happy to enjoy the warm warmth from him, and she smiled while walking: "This is a chance for you, my concubine, don't you still owe me a debt."

Dong Lingjue smiled lightly and didn't answer, walking with her while admiring the first winter snow in Western Chu this year.

The majestic ancient city, the deserted snow, the two walked silently in this winter night, but there was a faint warmth in their hearts.So much so that in the days after saying goodbye to the palace, when she was separated from Dongling Juetian, she would still recall this night from time to time, and think of the man who hugged her tightly and shielded her from the cold wind.

The snow lasted for two days at a time, and the thick snow covered half of her calf. This was the coldest winter Mu Lan had ever lived. She was so active that she stayed in the house for two days.I didn't come out to walk around until the sky cleared.

And the day of the celebration, which made the capital lively for a while, finally arrived after the heavy snow melted.

The venue for the celebration of the Dongling Jue General was chosen in the square outside the "Dewu Hall". This place is usually where martial arts are practiced. Mu Lan took a visual inspection and found that with the area of ​​the square, it would be no problem to set up two football fields.

The civil and military officials and the princes and nobles who came to participate in the ceremony sat at the two ends, while Mu Lan sat on the viewing platform with Dong Lingjue and the concubines.

Probably because Dong Lingjue finally agreed not to arrange a finger marriage for the time being, Zhuo Wanyun seems to be well-fed these days, her complexion is much better than that day, and her face has grown some flesh.However, when she was seated, she took the initiative to sit next to Mu Lan, which surprised her. [

"Sister-in-law Defei, are you still angry with me?" The long and incomprehensible red tape was still being read out in the square, Zhuo Wanyun fawned over Mulan's side, smiling cautiously.

Mu Lan glanced at her, and said coolly: "How dare I, the princess will be blessed if you don't sue me for being black in front of the king."

/>

Zhuo Wanyun smiled awkwardly, and said: "I was afraid, I actually listened to what you said to me that day, but I was afraid that the emperor would hate me even more because of this, so I had to take responsibility on you."

Speaking of this, she probably also felt that she was a little too much, she lowered her head and said: "You don't know, although Brother Huang loves me, every time I make a mistake, he will punish me very severely. But You wouldn't do this to Concubine De's sister-in-law, so... I'm sorry."

This Zhuo Wanyun is really a child at heart, capricious.It was impossible for Mu Lan to really bother with her, otherwise, she would have pissed herself off too early.However, the more such a character is, the stronger the lethality, she'd better keep a respectful distance.

"Forget it, you are a princess and I am a concubine. We have nothing to do with each other. For the sake of your lord, I will not bear this grudge with you. However, it is better for us not to get too close, so as not to regenerate If there is any misunderstanding, you will clean up as soon as you are afraid, I can't afford it."

It has to be said that Zhuo Wanyun's ability to act like a spoiled child has been perfected in these years. She only blushed slightly when Mu Lan said this, and then took her hand and said pitifully: "De Concubine and sister-in-law, I really sincerely admit my mistake. If you hadn’t saved my life that day, I might really have committed suicide on impulse. Now that the emperor doesn’t force me to marry, and I can still see such a wonderful performance, I just realized that it is good to be alive, so I am very grateful to you."

Mu Lan thought to herself, isn't this wonderful performance just for you?However, seeing her tugging at her own hand, she seemed as if she would not let go unless she forgives her, so she could only say: "I already said that I accept your favor, so please sit down and watch the show quickly, let the following People who see it will lose their manners."

"Okay." Zhuo Wanyun sat back in her seat a little dejectedly, then picked up the wine glass in front of her again, and said, "Then I'll toast you, as an apology to you."

The women in the harem used fruit wine, which was not strong, so Mu Lan couldn't avoid her pestering, so she had no choice but to drink from a cup.

Afterwards, Zhuo Wanyun was really quieter, perhaps because it was rare to see such a lively performance.

Most of the people who participated in the performances of this celebration today were young children of some status. Although Dong Ling never said anything clearly, everyone knew that if he performed outstandingly this time, he would not only win the favor of the emperor, but also be more likely to become the king and become the king. Princess Duanyi's consort candidate.

Therefore, all the people who participated in the performances worked very hard. They were talented in both literature and martial arts, which really opened people's eyes.

In the end, Dong Ling Jue appointed a few young people with outstanding talents to stay and attend the imperial banquet at night.

Because it was a formal imperial banquet, Empress Rong Zixuan and Empress Dowager Meng Yiqing sat on both sides of Dongling Jue, Concubine Shu sat beside the Empress, and Mu Lan sat next to Meng Yiqing.

Zhuo Wanyun was uncharacteristically hot today, no matter where she went, she always followed Mu Lan.In the past, she would take the seat closest to Dongling Jue at the imperial banquets, but today she chose to sit next to Mulan by accident.
