Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 206 The first time entering the palace
"I'm not a heartless person, but I just can't accept her. If Xuelian can't bear this kind of life, then the only option is to dissolve the marriage." Ting Yu's tone was so firm, she made it clear that she didn't want to accept this kind of marriage.It seems that I can't persuade him at all, and it's useless to stay any longer. I reached out to take back the bowl and turned to leave. He hurriedly said, "Mulan..."

I turned to face him, and guessing what he wanted to say, I said helplessly and with some distress: "It won't do us any good if you do this. If the stalemate with Xuelian continues because of me, then I will be ashamed to be in the Zhang Mansion again." Stay here, if that's the case, it's better to leave here and go back to Tongcheng, your hometown, so as not to ruin the reputation of your husband and wife."

"Are you leaving?" He was slightly startled.

"If you treat Xuelian so coldly, I can't stay here with peace of mind. I might as well disappear from your presence. Do you think I will feel comfortable seeing you like this?"

"You... are you forcing me?" Ting Yu gritted his teeth as he stared at me with his slightly narrowed black eyes, with blue veins on his forehead.

"I'm just explaining the fact that Xuelian will bring medicine in later." I glanced at him, turned and left.He stared at me with a pale face, his chest heaved violently, and his fingers holding the scroll turned blue-white.Walking out the door, I saw Xuelian still waiting outside, and the moment I came out, the anxiety on my face instantly relaxed, and I let out a breath of relief.

I put the bowl in her hand, turned and left.Xue Lian whispered: "Mulan."

"Deliver the medicine later, just go in." I left without looking back.

Walking out of the South Courtyard, before I could adjust my mood, I saw Xiaoqing rushing over and grabbed me, "Miss, madam told me to come to you! Hurry up, someone from the palace is here."

"What do people from the palace want me to do?" I asked suspiciously.

Xiaoqing didn't know what was going on, and when she heard it was from the palace, she was afraid that I would cause some trouble, so she hurried over to tell me.When I rushed to the front yard, Mrs. Zhang was waiting for me in the yard, with a young father-in-law standing beside me.The father-in-law turned his head and saw me, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute courteously: "Greetings to Miss Mulan."

I was taken aback for a moment, this person who has no name and no role, what kind of courtesy is he doing to me?

Mrs. Zhang introduced with a smile, "His name is Xiao Shunzi, and he was sent by Concubine Tong."

"Yes, the imperial concubine knows that Miss Mulan is very good at telling jokes, and has always wanted to see her. No, today I asked the emperor for instructions, and specially sent servants to invite the girl." Xiao Shunzi laughed in a standard Beijing accent. "The carriage is parked outside. If it's convenient for the girl, can you go with the little one?"

"Yes, my father-in-law wait a moment, I'll go get ready."

What kind of wind are you going to blow today? Why did Concubine Tong think of me all of a sudden?I was really confused, so I hurried back to the room and asked Xiaoqing to help me wash and dress, put on a new dress, and then put on my backpack and rush back to the front yard.Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang worriedly warned: "After entering the palace, you must be careful in everything. Inside the palace is no different than outside, especially when talking to your empress."

"understood."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhang. When you turn around, Xiao Shunzi will bring Miss Mulan back safely."
