Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 108
"What, you mean big brother and the prince..."

"I'm not too sure about this, but it's said in the palace, so I just listened to it."

……

It turned out that the emperor didn't just come in to watch the excitement, and came here to check on Mulan!I froze in place, confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Over there, the emperor is inquiring about my ancestral home and family situation with Zhang Ying and his wife. He is somewhat satisfied when he hears that I am a clean and agile child.I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd that the emperor inquired in such detail, which made me hold my heart tightly and keep thinking wildly.

A long laugh came from the pavilion: "It's really beneficial to go out for a walk today. I met an interesting girl and heard an interesting story. Xianqing, I am a little envious of you. Funny girl." The emperor came out of the pavilion, stopped in front of me, and looked at me again. "Mulan, I want to listen to your jokes when I have time later, so help me make up a funny story."

"Yes."

The emperor turned his head and walked out.Zhang Ying and his party hurriedly escorted them out, and all the attendants who came with them also went out.I stood under the tree, feeling very complicated. I don't want to provoke anyone and just want to live a peaceful life for myself. It seems that this situation is not what I like to see.

When Zhang Ying returned to the mansion with his wife, he saw me still standing there with a complicated expression on his face.

"Mulan, come with me." Mrs. Zhang was worried and wanted to follow, but Zhang Ying stopped her. "No one else will follow except Mulan."

The first time I saw Zhang Ying talking to me with a serious face, I nodded in agreement.Seeing Zhang Ying walking in the direction of the study, I looked back anxiously, and Ting Lu and Ting Yu who came after me stood there unexpectedly when they heard what my father said. Ting Lu looked at me with doubts and worries, and Ting Yu looked at me It was a look of astonishment, and was stunned by the tone of his father's words.

We came to the study room and closed the door. Zhang Ying looked at me straight and asked solemnly, "Do you know why the emperor is here today?"

"Guess a little..." I whispered.

Zhang Ying was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a bit of softness, but his tone could not see any tenderness. The emperor's words put a lot of pressure on him, so he had to harden his heart and look at me.From his actions and expressions, I had vaguely guessed what he was going to say, and prepared for the worst in my heart. "Mulan, there are no outsiders here, I want to have an open and honest talk with you."

"Yes."

"You are a good girl. Our Zhang family likes you very much. It is our Zhang family's blessing that any of my sons marry you. However, this is not a good thing. Because of you, Tingyu has been slow Willing to marry Xuelian, because of you, the two sons have become a joke in the capital." Zhang Ying turned around and sighed worriedly: "More than that, listening to the emperor's tone, even the elder brother and the crown prince... They are all scrambling to get you, it’s not a blessing for our court to go on like this. Mulan, I want to ask you a question, which one do you like between Ting Yu and Ting Lu?”
