MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 101
The truth of the matter has come to light, Yan Shu kept her promise to the Queen Mother in mind, and the next day, she came to Ci'an Palace as soon as possible to share the ins and outs of this melon with the Queen Mother.
After listening to what she read from the book herself, the Queen Mother was naturally furious.
"It's strange that the Shaw family asked the Ai family for this matter. It turned out that the nephew of the Han family had the evil intentions! Hmph, what a heartless guy! This is the result of the old lady forcing her son to raise an heir!"
Yan Shu hurriedly nodded beside her, "That's right, the concubine also thinks the same way, then Mrs. Xing thought that she forced her son to be like that, if she knows now, will she regret it?"
But the queen mother sneered and said, "Regrets can only be regretted in the underworld. Fortunately, she died early, otherwise the general's mansion would have been made by her?"
Yan Shu nodded vigorously again.
What the Empress Dowager said was that it was fortunate that Mrs. Xing died seven or eight years ago, otherwise Mrs. Shao's mother and her three children would not have survived today.
But now it's all right, Han Xing'an, the nephew of the wolf-hearted general, dares to lie about the holy will and slander the king, he is afraid that he will die.
After he died, he could just reunite with his eccentric grandma, tsk.
And sure enough, within a few days, the imperial court sentenced Han Xing'an to beheaded for crimes such as slandering the holy name, falsely preaching the holy will, moral corruption, inhumanity and unfilial piety, etc., and it was personally approved by the emperor's imperial pen, no one dared to object, and On the day when the imperial decree came down, the man was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
And looking back at the words of Mr. Xiaoyao, the ungrateful nephew ended up being beheaded. I didn't expect the reality to be fulfilled so quickly. For a while, the people shouted happily, and at the same time, speculation about the identity of Mr. Xiaoyao was very high. agree.
——To be able to know the important affairs of the court officials in such detail, and to judge the results so accurately, who else could this Young Master Xiaoyao be other than His Majesty's?
So, in the future, don't be too hard-pressed to try to fight against others like Wei Jingshi, the false heir of Bamian Bookstore.
After all, to fight against others is to fight against His Majesty, and there is absolutely no chance of winning.
~~
Thanks to Doctor Jiang's superb medical skills, after more than half a month, General Wu An finally recovered.
And the first thing he did after he recovered was to enter the palace with his concubine, Mrs. Shao, to thank His Majesty the Queen Mother.
Yan Shu, who had learned the news in advance, was very excited, and insisted on following the emperor to Ci'an Palace, intending to see with her own eyes the stalwart appearance of this dedicated and tough guy.
Fortunately, the emperor and empress doted on her, so she let her go.
Of course, the hero and heroine of her storybook are all in their forties or fifties now, and General Wu An has long lived up to his youthful spirit, You Qi has just been ill, and his body is also slightly weak.
But after all, he is a battle-tested person, and he still has a heroic spirit in his body. Standing with the slightly thin Mrs. Shao, he can still be called a man with a talent and a woman's appearance, and he is a perfect match.
At this time, as soon as they entered the palace, the two immediately knelt down to salute. General Wu'an said, "The minister, Han Gaochu, brought his concubine to see Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and Yi Concubine. Thank you for your majesty and the Empress Dowager's great grace, and I asked the old minister to pick it up." A life, the old minister is afraid that there will be no repayment, and he is very ashamed."
Yu Wenlan said, "The general is just recovering from a serious illness, so you don't need to be too polite. You served the country bravely in the first half of your life, and the imperial court will definitely treat you badly. Let's get back together."
General Wu An should be, and then he stood up with Mrs. Shao's support.
The Empress Dowager looked at the two of them again, and said, "Speaking of which, the general should thank Mrs. Shao well this time. If she hadn't asked Aijia to come to Aijia, Aijia and His Majesty would not have known the situation in your residence."
After finishing speaking, Yan Shu hurriedly nodded in her heart, the queen mother is worthy of being a leader in her list, and she just said what she wanted to say!
—Speaking of which, Mrs. Shao was able to enter the palace to invite the Empress Dowager because she was obstructed by her nephew a lot in the mansion. Fortunately, the servants were kind and sent her to the gate of the palace.
Although it has been difficult now, General Wu'an has finally recovered, and the two will love each other even more in the future and spend the rest of their lives hand in hand.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears—
[Woooo, back then he gave up his daughter and only asked for one person, and now she is trying her best to ask for his chance to save him, what a touching love! Make people believe in love again! 】
Yu Wenlan who heard silently, "???"
Why does she think so?
Isn't his intention enough to make her believe in love?
Unexpectedly, just as he was frowning secretly, he saw General Wu An suddenly knelt down again and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is very true. This old minister has been thinking over and over again these days. Today, I have the courage to implore His Majesty to allow this old minister to resign and return to his hometown, so as to give her The title of a legitimate wife."
What, resign?
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but sighed one after another.
——As we all know, Mrs. Shao came from a humble family background, and the current etiquette does not allow General Wu An to give her the title of wife, but if General Wu An resigns from his official position and just becomes a commoner, there will be no obstacles.
But in this way, wouldn't the scars all over his body be in vain, and the achievements he had earned through life and death for decades?
In a state of astonishment, before the emperor could speak, he saw General Wu An say again, "The one I've ever felt sorry for in my life is her. Now that I'm old, I just want to give her an explanation. I can no longer be loyal to Your Majesty." , the old minister is very ashamed, at least some sons continue to be loyal to the country to make up for the shortcomings in their hearts."
After the words fell, everyone nodded in their hearts again—
Yes, General Wu An has lived and died to protect his family and defend his country. He is worthy of the king, the world, and even the family. After all, he alone earned the glory and wealth of the entire Han family. He even gave in and accepted his nephew as his heir.
The only one who owed it seemed to be Mrs. Shao and her children.
If this continues, the sons and daughters will still bear the status of concubines, and the daughter may still not find a good family, and even after death, the two will not be able to be buried together...
It must have been a life and death experience, and General Wu An finally made the choice he wanted to make.
After thinking about it this way, everyone understood General Wu An's original intention to some extent.
However, Yan Shu was very anxious, and couldn't help but said, "I can understand that the general is thinking of Madam, but the price of making such a decision is too high. Is there no other way?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the emperor quietly, and said anxiously, 【Hey, can't you see such a touching love emperor? Why can't they marry each other! After all, Mrs. Shao is considered heroic in saving her husband this time, and deserves to be commended! Don't be so cold-blooded, okay! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
The incident happened so suddenly, he really didn't expect that General Wu An would make such a request today, why did he become cold-blooded?
He thought about it for a while, and was about to open his mouth, but unexpectedly, the queen mother took the lead.
"The general's sympathy for concubine love is moving, but if His Majesty approves your resignation, won't the outside world think that the imperial court despises you for being old and does not use you, and treats you badly? My family thinks that this matter probably still exists." If there are other ways, why bother to resign in such a hurry?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu immediately looked at the queen mother, nodded and said, "What the queen mother said is very true. Who knows that General Wu An has lived and died for the country several times in the past, and now he has sent his parents and children to the battlefield. Such a mind, He deserves to be treated well by the imperial court. According to my concubine, Madam Shao's efforts to save her husband are worthy of praise."
The voice fell, but the Empress Dowager said cleverly in her heart, and then she said to General Wu An, "Concubine Yi is right, your nephew falsely preached the holy will, if Mrs. That nephew of yours succeeded, wouldn't it be insulting to His Majesty's sages? Madam Shao's actions have greatly comforted the Ai family, and today I will grant you two to officially become husband and wife."
When the voice fell, everyone was taken aback.
Only Yan Shu was the first to react, and quickly said, "The empress dowager is holy!"
I was so excited that I was about to cry, [Yiyingying is still a big guy on the list! Queen Mother I love you! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
and many more…
Obviously he can also say...
Just haven't had time yet...
However, at this moment, everyone in the hall followed Yan Shu and said, "The empress dowager is holy!"
All looked excited.
And General Wu An and Mrs. Shao finally came to their senses. Under the surprise, they all knelt down again with red eyes, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "Thank you, Empress Dowager Long En!"
The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded, and said to General Wu An, "General, you don't need to be polite, and you don't need to think about resigning again. You have experience on the battlefield, and the court may use you again in the future. It would be good to teach more apprentices."
General Wu An was excited again, "Please don't worry, Empress Dowager, as long as the imperial court still has room for me, even if I try my best with this old bone, I will definitely go all out, go through fire and water, and never give up."
After the voice fell, everyone could not wait to clap their hands and applaud.
Empress Dowager Shengming! Holy Empress Dowager!
Yu Wenlan, "..."
The queen mother is indeed very wise.
Of course, the most important thing is-
high speed.
~~
The Empress Dowager returned to the General's Mansion with General Wu'an and Mrs. Shao on the day of the marriage decree.
It can be described as a great joy to be married by the Queen Mother herself.
However, General Wu An and Mrs. Shao are both over fifty years old now, and the house has just experienced some turmoil. The two of them didn't want to make a big deal, so they found an auspicious day, and went through a simple ceremony in the house. And handed over the marriage certificate to the government.
It seemed simple and peaceful, but it made them wait for most of their lives.
From then on, the beloved concubine became a beloved wife, and the status of the children as concubines became concubines, and the husband and wife finally realized their wish to live and die in the same bed.
And because of the advance foreshadowing of Mr. Xiaoyao's storybook, many people have actually sympathized with Mrs. Shao's background. At this time, they are very pleased to see that the hero and heroine of the story finally have a happy ending in reality.
Although there were probably some discussions behind their backs, but to General Wu'an and his wife, it was nothing after experiencing a life-and-death farewell.
For the rest of the day, it would be nice to spend it together with a clear conscience.
~~
Having witnessed the successful conclusion of this story with her own eyes, Yan Shu, who is an important hero behind the scenes, is also very pleased.
Lying on the couch at night, while stroking her belly, she gave prenatal education to the cub inside—
"Where there is a will, there is a way. So Baoer, always remember to keep hope in your heart. Although there are still many rules and regulations in this world, as long as you work hard in the right direction, your wish will definitely come true."
After the words fell, Yu Wenlan, who had just finished washing, also went up on the couch, and while hugging her in her arms, she commented, "'Where there is a will, there is a way' is good, but speaking of it, it is mainly your credit. If it weren't for If you discover the truth in time, those two may not end up in the happy ending they have now."
As he said that, he glanced at her swollen belly, and he didn't know how yearning he was.
He also wants to touch it...
Why don't you just come?
Anyway, it’s fine if you don’t want to make a mess.
Unexpectedly, she was making a difficult decision in her heart, but she saw Yan Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, the concubine is referring to herself! The concubine just thought at the time that she could do something meaningful by writing a script. Saved one unfortunate family after another, and cleared up one truth after another that was smeared, isn't the concubine's wish fulfilled?"
Yu Wenlan raised her eyebrows, "...that's really good. But are you sure you didn't write the storybook for money?"
Yan Shu choked, "...money is one thing, but concubines are also people who have big pursuits!"
Then she suddenly looked at him, pouted and said, "Speaking of which, the reason why the concubine wanted to write a storybook to earn money was not because she was too poor."
[Hmph, since money is mentioned, I'm not going to be polite. 】
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The concubine has made a lot of contributions to His Majesty these days. Hasn't Your Majesty ever thought of rewarding the concubine?"
Yu Wenlan, "..."
The ability to climb in such a smooth manner is really rare in the world.
He also laughed and said, "Then how do I reward you? Could it be that you are still short of money?"
As he spoke, he suddenly had an idea, pretending to be unintentional, put his hand on her stomach, and while gently stroking, said in his heart, 【Fool, I gave you my whole heart, isn't it enough? 】
As he spoke, he looked at her quietly.
Seeing that she was really taken aback, 【Huh? Why did you hear me again? 】
[Is he saying that he gave me his heart? ? ? 】
Yu Wenlan nodded silently in her heart, desperately wanting to tell her that she heard correctly, that's what he thought.
However, he was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he quickly pretended to have no intention of taking his hand away.
With a silent cough in my heart—
Silly girl, now you finally understand his intentions, right?
However, her mind was not on his confession just now.
Yan Shu was trying to think about a question at this moment—why did she suddenly hear his thoughts again?
She began to wonder in her heart, 【Did something happen just now? Is it because he put his arms around me? 】
【its not right! You are still hugging now, why can't you hear me again? 】
【Oh, right! He seemed to be touching my belly just now, could it be... This belly is a signal receiver? 】
Yu Wenlan was shocked.
Although she didn't know what the so-called "signal receiver" was, she was about to guess it.
Tsk, why did you suddenly become smart again?
To be on the safe side, he immediately said, "By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I will entertain the officials and their families at that time. Do you think this banquet will be held in the palace, or at Jinmingchi, or Jinbo Is the garden done?"
Hey, is there a chance of getting out of the palace?
Yan Shu was finally temporarily distracted, thought for a while, and said, "I think Jinbo Garden and Jinming Pool are both good, but it seems that the water surface of Jinbo Garden is wider? I think that when the monarch and ministers enjoy the moon together, the atmosphere should be better." Better."
—Hey, moon viewing is actually the second priority. The roasted pig and roasted lamb that I ate at Jinbo Garden last time are still fresh in my memory. It made her feel a little greedy, and now I still want to eat it very much!
Yu Wenlan listened silently, nodded immediately and said, "Okay, that's Jinbo Garden, I will ask them to prepare more siu mei, I think you should like it."
Unconsciously, Yan Shu's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "Thank you Your Majesty, my concubine really likes the roast sheep there. If there are many people at the mid-autumn night banquet, how about roasting two more?"
Yu Wenlan nodded hurriedly, "It's okay to roast five."
As he spoke, he asked again, "What else do you want to eat? Think about it these few days and ask them to prepare it earlier."
Yan Shu really thought about it seriously, "In addition to roasted lamb, grilled fish is also good. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, blue crabs are the fattest. Why don't you try blue crabs! By the way, blue crabs are not only steamed, but also made into spicy stir-fry. Crab or meat crab stew is also very good..."
Yu Wenlan nodded again and again, "It's up to you."
…
Phew, it's dangerous.
