Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 225 The Woman Chosen by the Emperor

Why is he doing this?Could it be true that Concubine Tong Gui said that she fell in love with me?

Thinking carefully about the way the emperor looks at me, the dark eyes are always full of infinite enthusiasm, and every time we meet by chance, they often appear behind me as if designed... The more I think about it, the more startled I become, dense pimples ooze from my forehead. Sweaty, just feel that there are countless bugs crawling behind.In this way, it is not difficult to explain why Zhang Ying's mention of marriage to the emperor always delays and does not give a positive response. Could it be that he is waiting for my intention?
Impossible, impossible, the emperor knows that the person I like is Ting Lu, how could it be possible to win my love?

Returning from the palace to the mansion, I lay restless on the bed thinking about something.During the meal, Ting Yu probably saw that my face was not right and raised his eyes to look at me several times, but Xue Lian graciously picked up food for him and made conversations, so that he didn't even have a chance to make eye contact.Following the example of snow lotus, Ting Lu frequently picked up vegetables for me and asked me to eat more, which made Zhang Ying and his wife laugh.Seeing that we get along so closely, Ting Yu's eyes looked a little lost, and occasionally tried to pull out a very faint smile to meet the scene.Seeing him in such pain made my heart ache, and I never dared to see him concentrate on eating again.

It's almost New Year's Eve, and I've lived in Zhang's Mansion for almost a year in a blink of an eye.According to the usual practice, the emperor will worship the ancestors on the first day of the new year, and then arrange the marriage of the royal children.Zhang Ying said that the emperor will arrange our affairs on that day.Counting the time, there are more than ten days left. Mrs. Zhang is very happy, and before the emperor's decree comes down, she is busy with Zhang Luo's marriage for us.My hometown in Tongcheng sent me my eight-character card, and wrote to say that the master Yao Wenyuan is in poor health and cannot return to Beijing to attend the ceremony, and Mrs. Zhang is asked to take full control of the marriage and so on.These days, I tried my best to forget what Concubine Tong Gui said, counting the days and looking forward to the New Year wholeheartedly.

The wedding dowry was loaded with ten carts, and it was transported from the distant city of Tongcheng to Zhang's mansion. Mrs. Zhang and I spent a whole day arranging things and making new clothes, and we were so busy.

"Hey, the house is so lively!" A very special voice sounded, and Li Dequan appeared at the door.

I, who was counting items in the yard, raised my head and laughed. "It turns out that Eunuch Li has arrived." Mrs. Zhang immediately sent someone to inform the master, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Li is here to see the master, right?"

Li Dequan nodded, and kept looking at the carriage full of goods in the courtyard, "Who is this wedding for? I heard that the Zhang family is busy with weddings. Which young master is it for this time?" ah?"

"Who else, of course Ting Lu and Mulan!" Mrs. Zhang said.When Li Dequan heard it, his expression suddenly became strange, with a puzzled expression on his face.Zhang Ying came from the backyard, he turned around and saluted: "Master Zhang, the emperor is announcing you to enter the palace."

"The little eunuch was sent over to pass on the message. Why did Eunuch Li come in person?"

Li Dequan glanced at the goods cart, and said suspiciously: "My lord, please forgive me for talking too much. You can't rush to marry the young master Ting Lu. Didn't the emperor say that he would personally marry Ting Lu when he was in Beiwei? Why are you doing it now?" I'm in a hurry..."

Zhang Ying said with a smile: "Where, of course we have to wait for the emperor to grant the marriage, but we are preparing first, so as not to be in a hurry when we get it."

Li Dequan nodded suspiciously. Zhang Ying went back to the backyard to change clothes. Mrs. Zhang was instructing her servants to carry things. Li Dequan came over and respectfully said, "Miss Mulan, can I take a step to talk?"
