Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 1127 Mulan who can speak foreign language

Zhang Ying turned her head and glanced at me, as if she wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the emperor's voice sounded first, "Mulan, when did you learn foreign language? When you speak, everyone in the room is shocked!"

I froze for a moment, I can't tell the emperor that English is the subject I learned in middle school, my eyes rolled, and a story was improvised. "Your Majesty, when I first came to the capital, I met a foreigner. At that time, he liked to listen to operas and often sat in teahouses. The place was not far from Ting Lu's house. I often met that person when I went in and out. Later, there was a time when a friend in a teahouse held a foreigner without any money. I kindly advanced the money for him. That’s how we got to know each other. I also learned foreign language from that guy. Unfortunately, he moved soon after we met. I don't know where I went."

While I was explaining, Ting Yu and Zhang Ying looked at each other in dismay, and Ting Lu stared at me with wide eyes, which was the same as the surprised expression when I first heard me speak foreign language.

"Oh?" The emperor believed it, "What's the name of that foreigner?"

"Call..." I was about to answer when I suddenly noticed that Ting Lu's eyelids were drooping, as if she saw that I was lying. It suddenly occurred to me that there must be some foreign-related agencies in the imperial court that manage those foreigners. No more stuffing?So, pretending to be confused, he said: "It's been more than a year, I only remember that the name is very eloquent, and I forgot how to pronounce it."

The emperor nodded and praised Zhang Ying: "Mulan is still knowledgeable, loves to read, and studies quickly. I can't find another person who is as studious as Mulan in my harem. Zhang Ying, there is such a daughter-in-law, it is you The fortune of the Zhang family."

Zhang Ying smiled gratifiedly: "Yes, I often think so too."

Seeing the emperor's attention diverted, Ting Lu whispered in my ear: "There is no teahouse near our house."

I smiled mischievously, "It turned out that there was a family, you didn't pay attention, and then moved away." Eat and wipe your mouth, and the event is over.Now that no one asked me who I learned foreign language from, I secretly laughed.

Ting Lu narrowed her eyes and squinted at me, and said in a low voice, "You are too courageous, you dare to lie to the emperor..."

I secretly stuck out my tongue and laughed to myself.

When I raised my eyes, I found that Guo Xiu next to me was looking at me secretly. I wonder if he heard our whispers, but I always feel that there is a shrewd energy in those sharp eyes.I met his eyes calmly and looked at them quietly until he lightly retracted his gaze and turned to it.
