Chapter 60: Undercurrents

Mu Lan was slightly taken aback. Although he deliberately lowered his voice so as not to be heard by the court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting not far away, the narcissistic expression on that self-satisfied expression made people laugh, and couldn't help laughing. : "Even if it is, at least in terms of these few meetings, Prince Min's performance is so amazing, it's hard not to be interested?"

Brother Walnut was a little surprised by her confession, but he quickly smiled disapprovingly and said, "Want to know about me? Then I'll talk about it if I win."

As he spoke, he stopped looking at her and concentrated on grilling the fish.

Mu Lan didn't expect to find out anything from him, but after hearing what he said, she was really curious.Looking at him grilling fish while sprinkling spices, he is not unfamiliar at all, his serious appearance is completely different from his age and identity, it seems that this cynical prince is not so simple. [

Without delay, I started to grill the fish in my hands.

The two were busy with their own work, when they suddenly heard a few strange dry coughs from behind, Mu Lan turned her head in surprise, and saw Meng Yiqing, who was sitting not far away, turned her gaze to another place and followed her gaze. , I was shocked in my heart.

Dong Ling did not know when he stood there, and next to him was Mo Yan, the national teacher, and they just stood at the intersection and looked at her.Dong Lingjue had an expression on his face that made it impossible to guess his emotions. Mo Yan seemed a little surprised, but his expression was much calmer than that of the person next to him.

Mu Lan subconsciously wondered if she had provoked him by anything, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was only the unhappy breakup that night.

Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Meng Yiqing spoke first to break the silence, and said kindly: "Your Majesty, is this your court? What are you doing standing there? Come and sit down." Then, she reprimanded the eunuchs and maids: "Your Majesty, come here Why don’t you report it, are there any rules?”

All the eunuchs and maids hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Mu Lan saw in her eyes and knew that these people were wronged to some extent. It was probably because of Dong Lingjue's signal that they did not disturb them on purpose.

Dong Lingjue was filial, seeing Meng Yiqing opened his mouth, his face finally softened a little, he knelt down and said, "My son, give my mother my respect."

Mo Yan behind him also knelt down to say hello, the two of them obviously just came from the court, the bright yellow dragon robe and the fiery red court dress together, it was particularly dazzling.

Mu Lan was feeling emotional that she finally saw Dong Lingjue kneeling down, when Brother Walnut beside her suddenly pulled her and motioned her to kneel down.It was only then that Mu Lan realized that, apart from her, everyone else had already knelt down, and she hurriedly put down the fish, and knelt down along with her.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, there is no need to be so polite between mother and child." Meng Yiqing did not forget to take advantage of her words, "The national teacher should also be exempt."

Only then did Dong Lingjue get up and take his seat, and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid. Suddenly, he turned his eyes to look at Mu Lan again, and said, "Why does that one over there look so familiar? Look up."

Although there was no roll call, Mu Lan looked up at him with interest, brushed her body and said, "My concubine pays my respects to your majesty."

"It really is you." Dong Lingjue's deep pupils were somewhat cold, he glanced at the seat beside him, and said, "Come and sit."

Asking if she didn't offend him, Mu Lan calmly got up and walked over, and sat next to him.

Dong Lingjue glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Brother Walnut who was still kneeling, and said nonchalantly: "Ying Xian, come and sit down too."

I don't know if something unpleasant happened the last time the queen invited this brother Walnut to dinner. Mu Lan obviously felt that Dongling Jue didn't treat him as close as he did the first time.

On the contrary, Brother Walnut—that is, Dong Ling Ying Xian was quite disapproving, ordered someone to put his grilled fish on a plate, wiped his hands casually, and sat down.

Dong Lingjue didn't look at him anymore, and then turned to Mu Lan, and said with a half-smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that you are not only better physically, but also in a good mood."

His words were really malicious, so Mu Lan could only pretend not to hear it, and said: "With the love of the emperor and the queen mother, the ministers and concubines are naturally happy."

Dong Ling snorted uncompromisingly, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just that?"

These words are obviously a sting, isn't it just a desire to be dissatisfied?Is it necessary to slap her face all over the place like this?Mu Lan looked at him with some amusement, and said, "What does your majesty mean by saying that? Oh, yes, the matter of poisoning has finally come to light, and this concubine should thank you for making decisions for me."

/>

Not to mention that the real murderer was not brought to justice, Concubine Shen's confinement is really not a punishment.Mu Lan didn't want him to do anything to Concubine Shen, but his intentions for her were nothing more than that, and she wasn't even dissatisfied with him, so what did it mean that he kept finding trouble with her?

Meng Yiqing sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and interjected jokingly: "Emperor, are you complaining that Concubine De has been with Ai's family for the past few days and neglected you? Don't get angry at her either. Turn around and Aijia will give her back to you."

Dong Ling is definitely not a person who shows his emotions. When Meng Yiqing made such a joke, the sharpness in his eyes suddenly faded, and he said with a smile: "This is a small private grievance between me and her, and the queen mother laughed."

Meng Yiqing giggled and nodded again and again, "The Ai family has nothing to do with your children's affection. However, this girl and the Ai family are very close friends. You are not allowed to bully her, and the Ai family even pointed at her to talk to me to relieve boredom." Woolen cloth."

Her overt protection made Dong Lingjue look at Mu Lan in surprise, and then said with a smile: "The queen mother is joking, as the king of a country, how can I make things difficult for my concubine, right?"

The last two words were obviously aimed at Mu Lan, and the cold eyes conveyed a message to her, "We will settle our accounts later."

Mu Lan was puzzled, Dong Ling had already changed the topic, turned to Dong Ling Ying Xian, "It's just right that you are here, I need to find you."

Dong Ling Ying Xian was watching the play with great enthusiasm, obviously he didn't expect that he would be involved, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "Why do I suddenly have an ominous premonition?"

Perhaps because he is still young and a generation older than Dongling Jue, Dongling Jue doesn't care if he doesn't hold back his words, he just smiled slightly and said: "It should be considered a good thing, there is Princess Huasheng from a poor country who intends to have a relationship with him." We are married to Western Chu, and now the entire royal family, the candidate of suitable age and status, is probably left with you."
