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

Chapter 59: Uncle Sixteen

The joy of going out of the palace only lasted for one day, and the news that the maid beside Concubine Shen and the servant of the Punishment Department both committed suicide in fear of crime cast a haze in Mu Lan's heart.

According to the investigation of the Department of Punishment, the poisoning was indeed a conspiracy between the two, but since neither of them confessed to the instigator behind the scenes, the Department of Punishment also re-investigated.

The next day, Dongling Jue made a decree that Concubine Shen was not strict in her rule, and she was punished to temporarily live in the "Changping Palace" and confine her feet to think about her mistakes as a punishment.

For Concubine Shen, this was considered lucky.It can also be seen from this that although both the Shen and Yan families are suspected of Zhuo Junshan's disappearance, Dong Ling never intends to abandon the Shen family. [

Even if the case of poisoning was closed in such a hasty way, Mu Lan actually expected such an ending. Now that the two poisoners are dead, it is obvious that Dong Ling does not want to involve too much in this matter. She can also guess some of the stakes.

Xu was afraid that this incident would affect her mood, so Meng Yiqing specially invited her to swim in "Taiye Lake".

"Taiye Lake" is adjacent to the Imperial Garden, with clear waves and weeping willows in the shade. There may be several pavilions around, with golden railings and jade tiles, which appear a bit quiet and elegant amidst the glitz.

Meng Yiqing was very playful at first, seeing the pleasant scenery here, he ordered the accompanying eunuchs and maids to go down to the lake to catch fish, and then asked someone to set up charcoal by the lake for a wild barbecue.

Seeing the bustling scene of everyone busy, Mu Lan had to lament the benefits of power.Only the Queen Mother dared to have a picnic in the inner courtyard of the palace so casually.

However, thinking that it was Donglingjue's garden that was ruined, Mu Lan felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart.Since coming to this time and space, I have been involuntarily playing the role of others. It is rare to have such a relaxed time. When I am in a good mood, I simply do it myself, grilling the fish and vegetables prepared by the maids on the charcoal.

In the past, Meng Yiqing's hands-on ability was also very strong when eating buffet barbecue outside. This may be due to her status as the queen mother, so she just sat in the booth and waited.Mu Lan occasionally looked up at her, but she saw her eyes looking towards the other side of the lake from time to time, as if she was yearning for the scenery there, and didn't think about it for a while.

Not long after, the smell of grilled fish ### floated in the air, and Mu Lan was sprinkling spices on the grilled fish, when she heard a eunuch come over and say: "Report to the Queen Mother, Prince Min asks to see you."

The three words of Prince Min immediately aroused Mu Lan's curiosity. When she looked up, she saw Meng Yiqing's face was full of surprise, and she just said lightly, "Tell him to come here."

Maybe because she sensed Mu Lan looking at her, Meng Yiqing shifted her gaze over, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Prince Min, although he is young, is the sixteenth uncle of the king, and he has been back to the palace for some time." , you should have seen it too, right?"

Mu Lan was very surprised, she didn't expect that Brother Walnut, who looked younger than Dong Lingjue, turned out to be Dong Lingjue's uncle?Then the last time he took a bite of the Queen's sister, didn't he mess up his generation?

What's even more strange is that Meng Yiqing seemed to be a little... happy about the arrival of Prince Min?

Before he had time to think about it, Brother Walnut, who was dressed in ochre-colored clothes, had already arrived. While sniffing and looking towards Mulan, he exclaimed, "What kind of smell is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Meng Yiqing seemed to be quite familiar with him, and joked: "Just counting your sharp nose, did you be lured here across a lake?"

Although Brother Walnut was a bit cynical, he was respectful in front of Meng Yiqing, greedy and greedy, but he knelt down politely and said: "The queen mother was joking, Ying Xian heard the excitement here, so she came here curiously, knowing that it is the queen mother, are you here?" Therefore, I specially greet you."

Meng Yiqing sized him up and said with a smile, "Is it really just to pay your respects?"

Brother Walnut still did not forget to glance at the grilled fish in front of Mulan, and said with a smile, "Of course, it would be great if the Queen Mother could let me have a meal by the way."

His childish appearance finally made Meng Yiqing happy, and said: "Look at your appearance, you are getting more and more handsome, and your face is getting thicker. But your mouth is really flattering, so get up and sit down."

Brother Walnut thanked you, then got up and found a seat to sit down, as if you just recognized Mu Lan, asked curiously: "Hey, isn't that the new Concubine De? I didn't expect that the princess of Xia Liang Kingdom would be Is there such a craft?" [

"Why don't Ai's family like her?" Meng Yiqing said as if she was homely, and then said: "Actually, there are quite a few women in our Dongling country who are ingenious, and at your age, it's time to find someone for you. "

Brother Walnut quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know what I'm most afraid of. There are so many women in the capital who want to marry me, so don't give them a chance."

As if afraid that Meng Yiqing would take him seriously, she simply rolled up her sleeves, got up and eagerly said, "I have learned this job of grilling fish outside. Today is a rare opportunity for me to show you my skills."

Seeing that Brother Walnut came over with great interest to prepare the grilled fish, Mu Lan was a little uncertain what Meng Yiqing's plan was.I just saw that the "Sunny Waterside Pavilion" is on the opposite side of the lake. This trip to the lake does not seem to be accidental.Seeing her smilingly looking at Brother Walnut, Mu Lan couldn't help but feel her heart tremble suddenly. Could it be that Yiqing has taken a fancy to this kid?

Then he turned his head to look at the young man who had walked up to her. His complexion was fair, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were clear, his facial features were well-defined but yet gentle, perhaps due to his age, he was handsome with a hint of tenderness, which was indeed very seductive.

In other words, Meng Yiqing and him should be regarded as sister-in-law, right?It's a pity that the sister-in-law is no longer his sister-in-law, and Brother Walnut, who is just too young, is especially unaware that he is being molested by others.

"Empress Defei." Brother Walnut's deliberately elongated voice interrupted her reverie.

Mu Lan came back to her senses, and realized that she had been staring at him all the time, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and replied, "Wanfu, my prince."

Brother Walnut lifted his chin, swept towards the grill in front of her, and said, "Your fish seems to be mushy."

"Huh?" Mu Lan finally remembered the grilled fish she had neglected, and hurriedly picked it up to see that one side had been charred black.

"Haha, let me just say, not everyone who was born in the royal family can be as proficient in cooking as this king." Brother Walnut smiled proudly when he saw her flustered, and picked up two skewers and cleaned them up. He handed a bunch of fish to her, and said, "Do you want me to teach you?"

He is really not ordinary arrogant, Mu Lan is also a person who wants to save face, took the skewer of fish, and said: "If the prince is so interested, why not come and compare and see who is more suitable for the Queen Mother's taste, how about it?"

"Then you're doomed." Brother Walnut smiled at her confidently: "You probably don't know yet, this king grew up in front of the queen mother, and there are probably few people in this world who are better than me in this world about what flavor the queen mother likes. The king knows better."

This is another piece of information that Mu Lan didn't know about. It seems that Brother Walnut is quite capable. No wonder Dongling treats him like a brother. It turned out that he was raised in front of the Queen Mother since he was a child.

Seeing that she was silent, Brother Walnut suddenly raised his lips, moved closer to her, and said, "You always stare at me like this, could it be that you are also interested in me?"
