MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 77
At first hearing this, Yan Shu still didn't understand, she frowned and said, 【What did you say? 】
System, [Just now when Bamboo Book came in, I saw the pen in your hand, it was the same as the one that the Empress Dowager asked her to send to Qianming Palace two days ago. Yes, it is indeed the same as those who paid tribute to the Queen Mother, so it is you who gave the things that the Queen Mother gave to Young Master Xiaoyao. 】
Yanshu, "..."
She really didn't expect this situation.
In fact, after the Queen Mother rewarded "Master Xiaoyao" that day, Yu Wenlan did quietly send the things to her.
But she is not stupid, how dare she use it publicly?
The pen she is using now was actually specially given to her by the emperor after he saw that she was afraid of losing the horse and regretted not using the pen given by the queen mother.
She has been writing with this Yucihu pen for the past few days, no one has seen it and said nothing, how could Zhushu think so?
At this moment, when she first heard the system say that, she immediately fell into a difficult situation.
— It is foreseeable that as long as Zhu Shu keeps reporting it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely become suspicious.
Even if she brought the emperor to testify that the pen she used was given by the emperor, the queen mother may not completely dispel her doubts.
Unless, Mr. Xiaoyao personally held up a pen to the Queen Mother and said that he got it, I'm afraid it will be successful.
But isn't she the Young Master Xiaoyao?
"..."
This problem has fallen into an endless loop, and Yan Shu has a headache.
But the system snorted again, and said, 【I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Can you still wear this vest for the rest of your life? Since you have to lose it sooner or later, it is better to lose it now. Anyway, you are pregnant with a dragon heir now, and you are expected to be angry no matter how angry the Queen Mother will be. 】
Yanshu, "..."
Although, she didn't want to make the Queen Mother angry!
That's her leader! !
She's still the heroine of the CP she was drinking! !
How can the Queen Mother hate her? Woohoo.
but…
Judging from recent contact, the queen mother is not those old-fashioned people.
So... Even if she knew that Mr. Xiaoyao was not a man, she wouldn't be too angry, would she?
But the system said, [But the queen mother said a few days ago that she wanted to see Mr. Xiaoyao, but you found all kinds of reasons to prevaricate it. 】
Yanshu, "..."
Also tusk. After all, she was dishonest first. At this time, the Queen Mother may be really angry when she learns the truth...
Woooooo, this is her top boss, she doesn't want to lose the top boss! !
When he was making a difficult decision, he heard the system say, 【Well, Zhu Shu has already opened his mouth with the Queen Mother right now. 】
Yan Shu, [! ! 】
She simply put her mind to one side, instead of being summoned by the Queen Mother passively, she should take the initiative to confess to the Queen Mother, so she hurriedly got up and walked out.
Liandong said anxiously, "Mother, slow down, the imperial doctor said you have to be careful..."
But Yan Shu told her, "Come on, tell Your Majesty something for me."
Then whispered in her ear.
Liandong hurriedly responded, and hurried to Qianming Palace.
Yan Shu sat on the shoulder chair and went to Ci'an Palace.
Oh, by the way, after being promoted to the concubine position, it is also a happy event to finally have her own means of transportation.
~~
At this time, in Ci'an Palace, Zhu Shu was reporting to the Queen Mother, "I want to report to your empress, this servant has already sent the things you rewarded to Empress Yifei."
The Queen Mother nodded, and said, "How is Concubine Yi doing now?"
Zhu Shu lowered his head and said, "Imperial Concubine Yi seems to be in good spirits. When the maidservant arrived, she was writing at the desk."
The queen mother said with a oh, and said with a smile, "You are still practicing handwriting even when you are pregnant? She is a diligent one."
——Ever since she started writing the storybook, Yan Shu has been using the banner of practicing calligraphy, so except for Emperor Fuhai Rendong who knows the truth, everyone else thinks she is practicing calligraphy.
Then the Empress Dowager's voice fell, but she listened to the bamboo book and said, "It's just that the servants are watching, the pen used by Yifei Empress...is very similar to the pen you gave to Young Master Xiaoyao last time."
"Um?"
The Queen Mother paused.
Before he could say anything else, he heard the human voice from the palace outside the door, "I want to see you, Concubine Yi."
The queen mother first collected her thoughts, nodded and said, "Come in."
It should be outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Shu came in.
"The concubine sees the empress dowager."
The Empress Dowager nodded on the warm couch, without any strange expression on her face, she just said, "Be flat, didn't you say that you don't need to rush to thank Aijia, why are you here again?"
Yan Shu said, "Last night, Imperial Physician Jiang said that the concubine's health is fine and she can move around properly. Since this is the case, the concubine was rewarded by the empress, but it is really unreasonable not to come to thank you."
After finishing speaking, he said solemnly, "The concubine thanked the Queen Mother for the reward."
The Queen Mother also nodded, "This is Your Majesty's first heir, and you have worked hard. It is the first time you are pregnant, you must be careful at all times, and ask the people around you to cheer up, and you must take care of the safety of the heir." Birth is."
Yan Shu nodded and said yes, and then took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty was promoted to the status of concubine last night."
But the Queen Mother still said in a low voice, "The Ai family already knows, this is His Majesty's love for you, you have to do your duty and work hard to repay you."
Yan Shu hurriedly nodded again.
But in my heart, I feel that something is not right—
The queen mother's attitude today seems to be a little more alienated from her than the previous two days.
Tsk, could it be that she really became suspicious of her...
Well, since everyone is here, let's take a gamble.
So she coughed and said, "The concubine has something to report to the empress."
The queen mother still looked indifferent, and said, "What's the matter?"
Yan Shu coughed, "This matter is of great importance..."
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, and to give her some face, she raised her hand and told everyone to back off.
There was no one else in the hall, so Yan Shu said, "Actually... this concubine is Young Master Xiaoyao."
The voice fell, but the queen mother was taken aback.
"What did you say?"
Yan Shu knelt down again, and said in a slow tone, "The concubine is actually the young master who wrote the storybook. He didn't report the truth to the empress before. He really deserves death. Please forgive me."
The queen mother finally heard it clearly this time, but she was still surprised. After looking at her for a while, Fang said, "Then you really wrote the book?"
Yan Shu nodded, "Yes."
The queen mother hissed, "How do you... have such abilities?"
Yan Shu bit her head and said, "At first, His Majesty wanted to find someone who wrote a storybook to write about the cases that Jin Yiwei found out. After the concubine knew about it, she boldly asked for her order and tried it. So I asked someone to take it out and distribute it. In this way, the ministers and concubines continued to write."
The queen mother still looked at her in surprise, "Try to write, and you can write so well?"
Yan Shu said again, "Actually, my concubine likes to read story books since she was a child, probably because she read them a lot, so it's quite easy to write."
The queen mother couldn't hold back her tut and tut twice, "You are very modest."
Then he asked, "Then why did you choose a man's name?"
Yan Shu had no choice but to introduce the original intention to the Queen Mother again, "Because many people are prejudiced against women nowadays, the concubines are afraid that if they choose a woman's name, they may not even look at it."
The queen mother sighed, "Although this statement is reasonable, but now they still think they are reading scripts written by men, so their prejudice against women has not changed."
Yan Shu hurriedly said, "It's the concubine who didn't think carefully."
The queen mother sighed again, "Forget it, it's not your fault. You are a little girl, and you really can't change anything."
Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, thinking that this is also a compromise in reality.
Before she finished nodding, she heard the Queen Mother suddenly change her tone, and said coldly, "But the Ai family asked you last time, why didn't you tell the truth to the Ai family? Do you still want your majesty to hand over the things that the Ai family rewarded you? "
Yan Shu hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Yes, the concubine didn't think carefully at that time, and she lied to the concubine only when the empress suddenly found out the truth and would be angry with the concubine..."
But the Queen Mother snorted, "Aren't you afraid that Aijia will be angry now?"
Yan Shu hurriedly said again, "The concubine has been struggling in her heart. She wanted to report the truth to the empress several times, but she was afraid that the concubine would not like the concubine... After all, the concubine trusts the concubine so much, and likes the concubine's words so much..."
At this point, she couldn't help shedding tears, and said, "Especially this morning when I received the reward from the empress, the concubine felt so ashamed, so I finally made up my mind to tell the truth to the empress. If the empress gave birth to a concubine It's right to be angry. The concubine really doesn't dare to ask the empress to forgive her."
Said and wiped away tears.
But, these words are actually sincere, she really doesn't want to lose the love of the big boss! woo woo...
The voice fell, but there was a silence in the hall.
Then came the Queen Mother's sigh.
"The Ai family knows that you have a heart. Forget it, you're still pregnant with a dragon heir. Get up."
Yan Shu was taken aback, did the Queen Mother forgive her? !
Tsk, the system is right! !
Now is the best time to be honest, and she won the bet! !
She was overjoyed, kowtowed to thank her, and stood up again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a communication sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty is here..."
Both Yan Shu and the Queen Mother were taken aback for a moment, and then they saw Yu Wenlan stepping into the hall.
As soon as he came in, he hurriedly looked around the hall, as if he was a little anxious.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Why is Your Majesty here all this time?"
Yan Shu was also a little strange, she just asked Liandong to go over to tell him, she was afraid that she wanted to tell the Queen Mother the truth, so she didn't ask him to come.
Yu Wenlan was indeed full of anxiety, wondering if he could not come?
——The Queen Mother has no tolerance for sand. If she knew that she had been cheated by Yan Shu for so long, she didn't know how she would treat her.
So he came here as soon as he heard the news.
"I'm just busy with political affairs, and I think that Concubine Yi's pregnancy is a big deal after all, so I want to report it to my mother personally."
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Shu pretending to be surprised, "I didn't expect Concubine Yi to be here?"
Yan Shu could only nod her head.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Ai family only found out today that this Young Master Xiaoyao is right in front of them. Your Majesty also kept the Ai family well."
Only then did Yu Wenlan know that Yan Shu had confessed, so she had no choice but to say, "I... was afraid that my mother would not be able to accept that Young Master Xiaoyao is a woman for a while, so I had to make such a plan."
I couldn't help thinking to myself, looking at the scene in the palace just now, the Queen Mother didn't seem to blame her?
But the queen mother said, "Aijia is indeed a little surprised, but Aijia is a woman herself, how can she look down on women?"
As he said that, he looked Yan Shu up and down, shook his head and sighed, "The Ai family really didn't expect that there are such talents in this harem."
Yan Shu smiled embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, you are the one I admire the most. You are the person I admire the most! I was just writing the story of Mr. Gu and his wife in the hall, and I plan to teach you to read it soon."
The queen mother snorted, "You are used to coaxing Ai's family. Now that you are pregnant, you should put your body first. Rest when you are tired. Don't rush to write."
After speaking, she sighed in her heart again, she never thought that such a little girl would be so capable, and the stories she wrote often made her worry about it.
Huh?
Since she is Young Master Xiaoyao...
Wouldn't it be possible to see new stories earlier in the future?
Just thinking about it, Yan Shu took the initiative to say, "The concubine will be the first one to show the empress when she writes a new story."
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, "It's not too bad."
She saw her again and said, "Chen Qie has received many letters from readers these days, some interesting ones have been specially saved, and she plans to tell the empress another day."
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, "That's great!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you talk to Ai's family now, what's going on?"
…
Yu Wenlan watched silently, and suddenly felt that she was a bit redundant.
He felt that these two women were like mother and daughter.
Also, shouldn't he be the first to see her story?
Why the sudden change?
