MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 104

As soon as he saw it, his palm was about to land on Yan Shu's bulging belly.

Yu Wenlan panicked at first, then quickly adjusted her thoughts and forced herself to calm down.

——Yes, the most important thing now is not to let her hear her own voice.

But not to let her discover that he could hear her.

Otherwise, I'm afraid she will be angry...

After sorting out the clues, he happily said hello, and put his hand on her stomach again.

At the same time, try to get rid of distracting thoughts in your heart.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly felt a certain place under his palm, which seemed to move.

The strength is not great, but it can be called clear, like a soft little rabbit, or a deer, gently kicking in his heart.

Yu Wenlan couldn't help being startled, and then she was filled with novelty and joy.

— This is his child.

This was the first time he felt the existence of the little guy.

Looking back not long ago, it seemed that it was as big as a small peanut or a small taro, but now you can actually play with him through your mother's belly?

But I don't know what action the little guy did just now?

Leg lift? Reach out? Or a somersault?

…

Hearing all these heartfelt voices, Yan Shu was very proud, and said, "? Bao'er has been moving for a long time, and His Majesty never touched it before."

Yu Wenlan smiled and said with a very good temper, "It's my negligence."

After speaking, I thought in my heart again, could the feeling not be so real through the material of the clothes?

So he tried to put his palm directly on her belly, trying to feel it more clearly.

Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't move again.

But the touch from his hand caught his attention.

Well, smooth, as ever.

Cough, speaking of it, since she was pregnant, he has always followed the doctor's advice and dared not touch her lightly. Although the two have always slept together, he hasn't touched her like today for a long time.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little... distracted.

Suddenly I miss the days when she had to work every night before she became pregnant...

Speaking of which, it has been several months now, I wonder if it is possible?

How about asking Doctor Jiang?

Yan Shu, who was silently eavesdropping, [? ? ? 】

Why is this on the mind of this man?

She was finally able to read his heart once!

But then again, it does work now.

Physician Jiang said back then that it will be fine after the first three months, cough,

Um?

Yu Wenlan's eyes lit up.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait to think about it again, but he heard Fu Hai suddenly report at the door, "His Majesty, the history of the Northwest General Administration is asking for an audience outside Qianming Palace."

Yu Wenlan suddenly recovered.

Oh yes, it's still broad daylight, and he hurried back from Qianming Palace to see her just now, and now there are probably a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with.

By the way, there is also the matter of the Duke of Qi.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand, coughed, and said to her, "Rest well, I will be back early tonight."

After speaking, he got up and strode out of the palace gate.

The rest of Yan Shu couldn't help raising her eyebrows and pondering—

He came back early... for what?

I don't really want to go to ask the doctor, do I...

Although, it is still quite exciting, cough.

Of course, it's still early, so how could she indulge in masculinity and forget about business?

Of course, it is not enough to just tell the emperor about the affairs of Duke Qi's mansion!

After all, this family can write several scripts!

Hehe, she wrote it while it was hot.

~~

As the so-called righteous indignation filled her, her thoughts became more and more flowing. It took Yan Shu two days to write two scripts.

But she didn't send it in a hurry, but went to Ci'an Palace with the manuscript first.

Tsk, there are so many melons in Duke Qi's mansion, how could she not share them with the big boss in the first place!

However, when she got to the place, before she could take out the manuscript, the queen mother cared for her first.

"I haven't seen you in the past two days, but what's wrong?"

Yan Shu was taken aback, and was about to speak, when the Queen Mother looked at her carefully and sighed in her heart, 【This girl hasn't come over for two days, could it be that she was **** off by the old man Anqi Guogong? Hmph, the old man's insidiousness all day long, now that he's said it all, it's really heart-wrenching! 】

As soon as the words fell, Yan Shu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She knew that the big boss loved her the most.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that the Queen Mother hates Qi Guogong very much.

That's right, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, the elder who is most qualified to worry about the emperor, the old man Qi Guogong actually skipped the queen mother and went directly to the book, can you not be annoying!

She hurriedly said, "The concubine thanked the empress for her concern. The concubine has been doing well for the past two days, but she has been writing a storybook. It is really a sin not to come to say hello to the empress."

The Empress Dowager heard the words, and immediately became interested, and asked, "What else did you write?"

There was no one else in the left and right halls, so Yan Shu said directly, "Actually, His Majesty got the news two days ago that Guo Zhenghai, the son of the Duke of Qi, took the eldest daughter of Lin Chengxian, a hundred households of Youwei in Luzhou, as his concubine a few years ago. Two years later, he wanted to usurp his second daughter again. That Lin Baihu refused and hurriedly found her a husband's family. As a result, Duke Qi's son framed her and put her in prison on the charge of stealing grain and grass. Now He just came out, and the prince of Qi Guo heard the news, and he wanted to repeat the old tricks and harm people again."

After the words fell, the queen mother frowned immediately and said, "Then Guo Zhenghai must be in his fifties, how could he do such absurd things?"

Yan Shu hurriedly nodded and said, "Your Majesty was very surprised at first, so he asked someone to investigate, but he didn't know that this matter was true, but also discovered other things in their mansion along with this matter, which was even more shocking. The concubine felt that it was necessary to let the world know about these things, so she wrote two scriptures."

The queen mother said, "It's only been two days, and you've written two scripts? Don't be tired."

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Madam, the concubine is not tired, and I just brought the manuscript today, do you want to read it to you?"

This is what the Empress Dowager is most willing to do. Hearing the words, she naturally nodded and said, "It's hard for you to write it all out, so naturally you have to listen to it."

Yan Shu agreed, immediately took out the manuscript, and read it to the Queen Mother.

As she said, she wrote two storybooks about the Duke of Qi's mansion. The first one takes the father and daughter of the Lin family as the protagonists, showing a father who really loves his daughter, and under the pressure of power, he is dedicated to caring for his daughter. In the end, because De Mingjun was the master, he helped the Lin family clear their grievances, punished the bad guys, and finally reunited the father and daughter.

After hearing this, the queen mother said, "From this point of view, the Lin family is really wronged. This Lin Baihu is much better than those who use their own flesh and blood to gain power, and it is indeed worthy of praise. But the prince of Qi Guogong is also deceiving people too much! Take the king's law as a lie. Is it from his family? He even framed a good person at will to take revenge!"

Yan Shu hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since Your Majesty has ordered someone to investigate, the villain will definitely get what he deserves."

The queen mother sighed and said, "Although that is the case, I still feel sorry for the daughters of the Lin parents who were ruined by Guo Zhenghai for nothing!"

As he spoke, he asked again, "What did the second script say?"

Yan Shu said quickly, "The second storybook tells the story of their Guo family's inner house." After speaking, she started reading for the Queen Mother again.

Compared with the first story, the plot of this story can be described as much more complicated, starting from the wife of the Duke of Qi’s eldest son Wei’s framing the cousin in the boudoir, and then after she married into the Duke of Qi’s mansion, she used her identity as the mistress to kill the concubine’s room , It can be said that her crimes were clearly exposed.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she naturally shook her head angrily and said, "I usually see that woman looks dignified and generous, but I didn't expect her to be such a vicious person? It's strange that the good-looking people in the capital suddenly heard that her cousin has a pockmarked face. It turned out that she was behind the scenes! Speaking of it, it’s also fortunate that her cousin didn’t marry into the Duke of Qi’s mansion, the Wei family and Guo Zhenghai really answered that sentence, it’s not that the family does not enter the family.”

Yan Shu nodded again and again, "That's right, these two are really a match made in heaven, it's a pity that those women in his mansion were forcibly taken over."

The queen mother also sighed, and said, "How can such parents raise good children?"

[Hmph, that old man still has a face to choose from! It took eight lifetimes of bad luck for others to become in-laws with them! 】

Yan Shu listened silently to her ears, and then nodded silently in her heart.

As expected of her leader on the list, she made complaints so heartily!

But speaking of it, she hasn't told the queen mother that Qi Guogong's grandson is having an affair with his father's concubine.

The main thing is really hard to say, after all, it's an extremely hidden thing, and it can't be found out by just checking.

But only these two are enough.

She then said again, "The concubine thought about it, Lin Baihu's grievances could be resolved with the intervention of the court, but what the Wei family did was all internal affairs, I'm afraid it's not easy to manage, after all, In this situation, no one in that mansion will make decisions for those poor women."

The queen mother thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "You haven't sent out the notebook yet, have you?"

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty just sent someone to Luzhou, and the case is probably still in the process of handling the case, and the concubine dare not release it. I'm afraid that it would be bad for the Duke of Qi to kill him again."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "However, let's wait for another two days. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Last time at Jinming Pond, the storytelling arrangement was quite good. This time at Jinbo Garden, you might as well ask Taichang Temple to arrange another one." .”

After the words fell, Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "Okay!"

Hehe, as expected of her big boss, he can always think of going with her!

~~

The two days passed in a hurry, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

In order to welcome the dignitaries in the palace and all the guests, Jinbo Garden started preparations two days in advance.

When night falls, one can see thousands of palace lanterns in the garden, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, reflecting the magnificent and gorgeous pavilions.

Seeing this scene, the guests were all amazed, but they didn't dare to stop and admire at will.

Just because the nobles of the palace have arrived, they need to go to pay respects as soon as possible.

In order to watch the excitement tonight, Yan Shu slept enough during the day, and at this time she was sitting with the Emperor and Empress Dowager at the top of the hall, watching the guests come forward and salute one by one, very energetic.

Today's scene, such as the Princess Dachang's family, Ruyang Wang's family and other clan relatives, as well as Guangyang Marquis, Linwu Marquis, Xuan Ping Marquis, Gongbu Shangshu and other imperial nobles are indispensable.

Not to mention, I haven't seen him for a while, but that paper-eating Guangyanghou has gained a lot of weight, his cheeks have obviously gained flesh, and his complexion has also improved a lot, which is very different from his previous image of getting thinner and thinner.

Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager asked, "It seems that Hou Guangyang's body has recovered?"

Hearing this, before Guangyanghou could speak, Mrs. Guangyanghou hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager, Lord Hou's appetite has improved a lot, and now the three meals are normal."

Marquis Guangyang also hurriedly nodded, "Thanks to Madam Lao's concern, I'm already healed."

— Cough, since he discovered pancakes, a miraculous food, at the Jinmingchi Water Play Banquet last time, he has a new hobby.

The taste of this kind of food is very similar to that of paper, but it is much more comfortable than eating paper in the stomach, and it is also nutritious. It can be rolled into anything, and finally made him gradually abandon the strange habit of eating paper, and live a normal life. human life.

I am really grateful to the person who prepared the food at the water play banquet, he was really his savior!

Yu Wenlan listened to it silently, and couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yan Shu.

And Yan Shu, hiding her achievements and fame, followed the Queen Mother and nodded, without saying anything.

A trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

Afterwards, many familiar faces appeared on the stage. Yan Shu participated in many palace banquets this year, so she knew more or less of them.

However, it was probably due to the news that the Duke of Qi submitted a letter two days ago for the selection of the queen. Tonight, many families brought young girls of appropriate age, and they were all dressed in brocade and jade clothes, glamorous.

However, Yan Shu was not in the mood to pay attention, because at this time she was fully waiting for tonight's protagonist, Qi Guogong's family, to play.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the family finally appeared.

The gray-haired Duke of Qi was in front, followed by his son Guo Zhenghai, his daughter-in-law Wei Shi, their son Guo Jianguang, and their daughter Guo Zhaorong.

Duke Qi led a large family to salute the Emperor and Empress Dowager Yanshu, "The old minister and his whole family wish Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Yi a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

After all, this old man is an elder, so Yu Wenlan naturally said politely, "You don't need to be too polite, let's be flat."

The voice just fell, but the voices of the Queen Mother and Yan Shu poured into the ears in unison—

Yan Shu, 【Look, this is the old rascal's family! Don't miss them tonight! 】

Queen Mother, [Humph! This is that family, and it is not easy to gather together today. If God has eyes, a lightning strike will be fine. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Yanshu, "..."

Tsk, that's a good idea, but it's already August, and the possibility of thunder is relatively small.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the Duke of Qi and his family had already stood up, and the Wei family took the initiative to say, "I just stepped into the garden, but I saw the flickering lights, and it was very brilliant. It is also great to be able to enjoy the scenery with the nobles today." Blessings for the servants and others."

After the words fell, his daughter Guo Zhaorong hurriedly nodded.

The Empress Dowager said, "Concubine Yi is pregnant with a dragon heir now, so she can't make any mistakes. Light up more lights in the garden, so as not to have any pits or ditches, which will cause people to accidentally step on it, and something will happen. gone."

After the words fell, everyone was shocked.

Tsk, what the Empress Dowager said... seems to have some hidden meaning?

Seeing that Wei Shi also had a meal, he could only nod his head and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is very true."

Feeling guilty for a while, it was not good to introduce his daughter alone to salute, and quickly retreated to the side.

~~

Seeing that all the guests had arrived, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner began.

Tonight, there are still singing and dancing to add to the fun. With the bursts of music, the guests exchanged glasses and the atmosphere gradually became high.

There are also many young ladies who have prepared programs tonight and are waiting for the opportunity to perform.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a few palace servants brought a table to the stage, and a piece of Xingmu was placed on the table, followed by a man, who seemed to be a storyteller.

Everyone immediately became curious, there is still a storyteller tonight?

This is really new.

But immediately after, the storyteller patted himself, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Today, I am honored to tell you some latest stories written by Mr. Xiaoyao."

Huh? Or is it a new story of Mr. Happy?

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

In particular, Yanshu's number one fan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't wait to put down his wine glass and chopsticks. He couldn't care about anything for a while, and listened intently.

The first story of the storyteller is based on the wife of Duke Qi.

Speaking of which, this is the artist who told the story to everyone in Jinmingchi last time. I haven't seen him for a while, and his skills have become more and more good. After a moving interpretation, the Wei family's viciousness is even worse than what is described in Yan Shu's storybook. To penetrating three points.

After hearing that the woman persecuted her sisters for marrying into a noble family, and persecuted her concubines after marrying, even the maids in the mansion who were molested by her perverted husband would be disfigured and sold by her, and even pushed into the lake to drown and other serious crimes At that time, everyone was so angry that they wished they could flip the table on the spot.

Fortunately, the storyteller changed the subject and said, "Finally, one day, all the ghosts who were killed by her came to claim their lives, and attached to the woman and her sons and daughters, driving them crazy and beating them at home." Beating, cursing, and even biting others. The woman panicked, so she had to ask someone to invite a Taoist priest to come and see. But after seeing it, the priest said that she had committed too many sins. Nineteen days will be possible to relieve the infestation of these innocent souls."

At this point, the eldest princess couldn't help asking, "Did she do that? Speaking of it, if it is true that eating fast and chanting Buddha for forty-nine days can eliminate the sins of this woman, it would be too simple!"

Everyone nodded one after another, thinking that this woman has done so many evil things, if eating a fast and reciting Buddha can offset it, it would be too unpleasant!

But the storyteller said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. You must know that although the scholar said so, this woman doesn't want to do it. After all, if she does this, it means that she has indeed done these evil things. Once it is spread, it will be embarrassing." Lost? So she sent people out of the mansion again, in an attempt to find a more advanced capable person to suppress the rioting ghosts in the mansion. However, before the capable man was found, the ghosts in the mansion became more and more furious , driving her two sons and daughters, one pushed her into the well in the middle of the night, and the other set fire to the house."

The Eldest Princess stared wide-eyed, "So, that woman drowned in the end?"

The storyteller nodded and said, "That's right. After all, the house was on fire at that time, and the whole family was in a hurry to fight the fire. When the fire was barely extinguished, when I remembered her, I found that she had already drowned in the well. Until now, All those innocent souls have disappeared, and the mansion has finally returned to calm. However, the house has been burned into a pile of ruins and can no longer be lived in."

"You deserve it! You really deserve it!"

The eldest princess clapped her hands and said, "This is called evil will be rewarded with evil! This ending is too happy!"

When the words fell, everyone clapped their hands, nodded and said, "This story is so good!"

Amidst the admiration, Yan Shu looked at Wei Shi, the protagonist of the story.

But he saw that his face was gray and pale, and his complexion was very ugly.

He even hesitated, as if he wanted to get up and leave the table.

Hmph, she likes to see the panicked faces of these people who have done bad things the most.

Remember the energy you had when you focused on digging a hole for her?

Unexpectedly, at this time, the gray-haired Duke of Qi suddenly said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, it's a bit too unpleasant to tell these stories about ghosts and ghosts that are made out of nothing."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

What spoils the scenery?

This old man is just a spoiler, okay? It's just a story, and he didn't do anything wrong. What are you afraid of with a little ghost?

Of course, they just dared to be angry and dare not speak out. After all, this old man is too senior to be angry at will.

Fortunately, Yan Shu opened her mouth in time, and said to the storyteller, "If that's the case, let's talk about others, are there any ghosts?"

The storyteller nodded immediately, "Yes. Please rest with me."

Then he slapped the wood again and said, "Then I would like to invite you to listen to the second story. It is said that in Luzhou Prefecture not far from the capital, there was a family. The husband and wife were loving and harmonious. Raised a pair of good daughters, both very well-behaved, the neighbors are not proud of it. Seeing the days go by, these two girls grow more and more beautiful, and soon the eldest daughter reached the age of marriage, and came to propose marriage from all over the world It’s almost over the threshold.”

"The couple were planning to choose a good son-in-law for their eldest daughter. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a powerful old man came to the capital. As for this old man, he really has no merits except for his outstanding wealth. He bullies men and women, commits all kinds of crimes, is a few years older than the master, and even falls in love with his eldest daughter, so he resorts to various tricks, coerces and lures, and finally forces his good girl to be him. concubine."

At this point, the storyteller deliberately paused, and there was a lot of scolding at the banquet.

——Probably because of drinking, or because of being blocked by the Duke of Qi just now, everyone was angry at this time, and they couldn't help saying, "This old man really has a thick skin like a city wall! He is better than others!" Dad is still old, and he still has the face to force someone to be a concubine!"

"That's right, there's no courtesy, no shame at all!"

In the midst of condemnation, they saw Guo Zhenghai, the heir of the Duke of Qi, sitting on pins and needles, got up suddenly, and wanted to sneak out quietly while everyone was unaware.

Unexpectedly, the emperor stopped him, "Where is Guo Qing's family going?"

Guo Zhenghai paused, and had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel unwell and want to go out to get some air..."

Before he finished speaking, the king said again, "There is an imperial doctor in the garden today, let me show you."

Royal doctor?

Is it really worth asking the imperial doctor to see it?

Guo Zhenghai was taken aback for a moment, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, how dare I work as an imperial doctor? I'm fine."

The queen mother saw it in her eyes, sneered, and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, just sit down and listen to the story."

Seeing that Guo Zhenghai should be, he had no choice but to sit back.
