Maybe the Empire and DunBroch are allies. The Emperor would send his most decorated soldier (Mulan) to help train the princess of DunBroch. She would be honor-bound to help Merida due to being asked by the Emperor.

At least, I hope that's the explanation that they give. Otherwise she is just a sword for hire, and honor doesn't really exist among mercenaries. Nah, that's to fancy. Mulan is just a tutor.

We haven' actually seen Mulan in her empire (except once) doing anything. Now she wandered around with Phillip and Aurora, so I'm guessing she was let go. Then, she left them for the Merry Men, then now she's found work tutoring Merida. I guess it's better than peasantry.
