MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 88
If she hadn't heard Yan Shu's explanation with her own ears, Yu Wenlan would not have known that Nanzhao Wang Mu Zhengping had come to the capital in person.
You know, when he ascended the throne four years ago, the other party didn't come.
Tsk...Could it be that this time you are looking for Princess Shou'an?
To be honest, Yu Wenlan didn't quite understand.
Of course, whether Mu Zhengping came or not was Mu Zhengping's own business, and now he was more concerned about Yan Shu.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told me about prenatal education last time? You spend all your time on this kind of thing, is it really good for the child?"
As he spoke, he carefully stretched out his hand and stroked her belly gently.
Well, it seems to be a little drummed.
Speaking of which, the little peanuts inside should grow into little walnuts by now, right?
I followed my mother to listen to these irrelevant gossips all day long, and I don't know if I will be full of gossip when I grow up...
Yu Wenlan tried to think about that scene—
A pink and tender little baby who opens her mouth to come to other people's secrets...
Hiss, it seems a little scary.
Unexpectedly, the person in his arms said, "It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't understand that the most important thing in prenatal education is to keep the mother in a good mood. Only when the mother is in a good mood can the baby grow up well and have a good personality. Staying in this palace all day long and not being able to go out, there are only a few things in front of my eyes, don’t I just count on these to have some fun?”
besides...
There is also a system that feeds her melons every day, how can it be enjoyable to eat without looking at it?
Unexpectedly, the system suddenly jumped out to speak,【? ? ? Blame Bentong? 】
But Yan Shu ignored it, and said to Yu Wenlan, "I heard that Princess Shou'an is having a heated fight with Rouran's envoy these two days. If Prince Mu, who is waiting so hard, finds out, there must be someone How fun! Tell the truth, Your Majesty, don't you want to see it?"
Yu Wenlan, "...what do I want to see this kind of thing?"
Cough, when did he want to see such things? What he cares about is the big things behind it.
After finishing speaking, Yan Shu looked at him disappointedly, "Is that so? If there is such a thing in the future, the concubine will not tell His Majesty."
I thought it was a like-minded person, but she paid by mistake.
Yu Wenlan who heard silently, "???"
Is this a "wrong payment"?
...as for?
He had no choice but to say, "Forget it, Mu Zhengping is King Mu of Nanzhao after all, if he really goes to Beijing, the imperial court will definitely give him a good reception. I will allow you to go with me, but don't forget to get emotional. No matter what, you must remember that there is still food in your belly." There is one."
But seeing her rubbing her belly, she said proudly, "Of course, my concubine will read to him the scriptures these days when I have free time, and it won't be a problem for me to speak well in the future."
What, what? Talking book? ? ?
Yu Wenlan frowned, "Wait, why don't you read something like the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties? Do you want to read the book?"
But she said, "Those are too esoteric, he is so young now, if he doesn't understand, it's still down to earth."
Yu Wenlan, "... who the **** doesn't understand?"
But she waved her small hand and said, "It's not important. What matters is that when Mu Zhengping comes, the Queen Mother will also attend, right?"
Hehe, with such a good opportunity, of course she has to invite the big guys on her list to eat melons together!
Yu Wenlan twitched again, "Why do you still call me Queen Mother?"
But seeing her take it for granted, "Because the Queen Mother has been in the palace for a longer time, she must have more fun! Your Majesty is not always the most filial, so of course you must call the Queen Mother for this opportunity!"
Hehe, anyway, the Empress Dowager guessed that Mu Zhengping liked Princess Shou'an, so it would be more lively to eat melons together, wouldn't it?
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Of course, the Nanzhao Mu family and the Yuwen family are still related by marriage. If there is a banquet, as the elder of the Yuwen family, the queen mother should of course attend.
But he found that the one who is most filial to the Queen Mother is no longer him, but her.
~~
Sure enough, as the system said, the Nanzhao King Mu Zhengping arrived in the capital on the second day.
As a show of respect, Yu Wenlan immediately sent the ministers of the DPRK and the imperial family and the royal relative Ruyang King to meet him.
In the evening, the first reception banquet was held in the Jiying Hall in the palace.
—It was said to be the first one, because this time it was only a banquet hosted by Yuwen's in-laws.
In two days' time, envoys from all over the world will arrive, and there will be a higher-level state-level banquet to entertain Mu Zhengping.
Since they are in-laws, the main members of the Yuwen family, including the emperor, queen mother, Ruyang Wang and his wife, and the eldest princess and his wife are naturally required to attend.
Yan Shu finally got her wish and followed the Emperor and Empress Dowager in.
However, Princess Shou'an, as the concubine of the Nanzhao Kingdom, was sitting in the guest's seat today, and the Nanzhao king Mu Zhengping, who made her very curious, was sitting beside his sister-in-law.
Yan Shu was so excited that she cast her gaze as soon as she sat down.
But Mu Zhengping was about thirty years old, tall and tall, his skin was slightly darker than that of Central Plains people, and his facial features were quite good.
It's just that he didn't expect that he brought his nephew with him this time, that is, Mu Jingshuo, the son of Princess Shou'an and nicknamed A Lang.
The young boy was about twelve or thirteen years old, his eyebrows and eyes mixed the advantages of Central Plains and Nanzhao, and he looked very handsome.
After all, the child is attached to the mother, and at this time is being intimately next to the mother, looking cute and distressing.
The banquet started, the two sides saluted and greeted each other, and said some polite words.
Yan Shu observed quietly, and felt that Prince Mu looked gloomy and seemed a little unhappy.
She then quietly called the system, 【What's wrong with Mu Zhengping? 】
System, 【It's nothing, I just heard about Princess Shou'an drinking with envoy Rouran, I'm jealous. 】
Yanshu, […]
Are you still not used to it after so many years?
At this time, Mu Zhengping said to the emperor, "This time, the king was able to solve the Pu clan smoothly, and I would like to thank His Majesty for your help. It coincides with His Majesty's Changning Festival, and considering that my nephew Alang will visit relatives in the Central Plains for many years, I brought him It’s a bit abrupt to come together, please forgive me.”
Yu Wenlan said politely, "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. King Mu is being polite. Since we are relatives, we should walk around more."
The queen mother also said, "I haven't seen you for many years. Alang is so old. If he hadn't met him today, he would not have known each other on the street. Your Majesty is right, relatives should walk around more."
After speaking, both sides nodded and said yes, and then toasted each other.
Then he put down the wine glass, but saw Mu Zhengping coughing suddenly, and said to Princess Shou'an, "This time my king is here, and I have one more thing to do, that is, I want to invite my sister-in-law back to Nanzhao. After all, Alang is still young, and he has been missing a mother for so many years." The companionship is still not very good."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu paused, wondering if Mu Zhengping wanted to confess his love publicly? ? ?
No way!
Immediately afterwards, he saw him say again, "Pu family has done many evil things in the past, and I am also responsible for them. I am not a good monarch, nor a good uncle, nor a good brother, so this time I have made up my mind to please Sister-in-law will go back to Nanzhao to assist Alang."
assist...
Everyone quietly paused when they heard the words—
How did Lord Mu use this word? Do you have any plans?
Of course Princess Shouan heard it, and immediately asked, "I'll go back to assist Alang? What about you?"
But Mu Zhengping said, "I plan to become a monk."
What? ? ?
As soon as these words came out, not only Princess Shou'an was stunned, but everyone in the palace was stunned.
Go out, become a monk?
Mu Zhengping is a majestic king of Nanzhao, wants to become a monk? ? ?
Yan Shu also looked surprised, thinking this person is playing tricks?
However, the system popped up to explain, [One said that Buddhism is still very popular in Nanzhao, and it is not uncommon for nobles to become monks. There are also several members of the Mu family, such as A Lang’s grandfather, who was a monk himself in the past. Gave it to the son. 】
Yanshu, "..."
Could it be that this person was tired of waiting for love and became disheartened?
She immediately looked at Princess Shou'an.
Only to find that the emperor and the queen mother were watching together.
Yanshu, "..."
Forget about her big boss, who said yesterday that she doesn't care about people who eat melons?
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Forget it, just pretend not to hear it.
At the end of his line of sight, he saw that before Shou An could say anything, A Lang became anxious, and immediately said, "Uncle, don't! Don't leave A Lang to become a monk!"
After the words fell, Princess Shou'an, who came back to his senses, also said, "Why are you doing this? You are the king of Nanzhao after all, what do I know as a woman?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Zhengping said, "It doesn't matter, the court has been purged, and the ones left are loyal ministers, and they will help you and A Lang. Besides, I believe His Majesty will support you."
As he spoke, he cast his gaze at Yu Wenlan again.
Yu Wenlan had no choice but to say, "Nanzhao and Daliang have been friends for generations. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely spare no effort. However, King Mu might as well think about the matter of becoming a monk?"
But Mu Zhengping said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I've made up my mind. I've been sorry to many people over the years, I'm sorry for my elder brother who died young, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law, and I'm sorry for A Lang... If it wasn't for me, he should have been accompanied by his mother..."
After the words fell, Yan Shu couldn't help but tsk tsk in her heart, 【Is this talking about the two of you? 】
Yu Wenlan, [...it seems to be. 】
But the queen mother was also pondering in her heart, 【Hey, is there something else going on between these two people? 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
The queen mother is really amazing.
And the rest of the people, [? ? ? 】
what's the situation? How do you hear this meaning, what else did King Mu do?
All of a sudden, his eyes wandered on Princess Shou'an and Mu Zhengping.
However, Princess Shou'an was silent for a while, and finally said, "Ah Lang is my flesh and blood. It's my fault that I haven't been with him all these years. You are a very competent uncle. I have always been grateful. This time After His Majesty's Changning Festival, I will go back to Dao Nanzhao to accompany A Lang, but A Lang is still young after all, and you should take the seat of King Mu. Forget about becoming a monk."
After the words fell, before Mu Zhengping could say anything, A Lang immediately cheered up and said, "Mother, are you serious?"
Princess Shou'an rubbed his son's head and said, "Of course it's true. How could mother lie to you in front of His Majesty, Queen Mother, and your uncle and aunt?"
A Lang suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
But Mu Zhengping didn't speak, but raised his glass and drank a glass of wine, but the gloom between his brows seemed to be much less.
Yan Shu couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw it.
Princess Shouan was subdued?
Does she still care about her brother-in-law?
Or do you just feel sorry for your son?
Could it be that Neptune took the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself? ? ?
…
Yu Wenlan thought to himself, don't care about him.
As long as there is a result in this matter, this cousin should hurry back to Nanzhao.
He was really worried that Aifei's mood would fluctuate all day long!
Heart tired.
~~
As the emperor's birthday approaches day by day, envoys from various countries have arrived one after another.
On the eve of the Changning Festival, a banquet was officially held in the palace to entertain the envoys from various countries.
Yan Shu, as the concubine with the highest status in the harem, was able to accompany the emperor to participate.
I don't know if I didn't attend, it turns out that Daliang's diplomatic relations are very developed, at the banquet, apart from a few important ministers from the DPRK and China, they were envoys from various countries, and the seats were lined up to the entrance of the Jiying Hall.
And most of the envoys are high-ranking and powerful people in their own countries. Some countries, such as Gaoli, even sent princes to come in person, which shows the importance they attach to Daliang.
At the banquet, everyone dressed in their own costumes and toasted to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The scene was very grand.
Yan Shu sighed, but couldn't help but wonder, is there anything interesting among these people?
Seeing that the second round of wine was over and the atmosphere in the palace was in harmony, an envoy from the Eastern Japanese Empire came forward and said, "To congratulate His Majesty on His Majesty's birthday, our King specially congratulated His Majesty, and please accept it."
As he spoke, he waved his hand outside the hall.
But after a while, two women came to the hall, both of them were graceful, wearing veils, and there seemed to be a scent on their bodies.
Everyone was taken aback, Eastern Wa Kingdom is going to send beautiful women to the king?
Tsk tsk, I heard that the royal family of Eastern Japan has indulged in sensuality in recent years and played a lot of tricks. I didn't expect to even give gifts to beauties?
Sure enough, the envoy smiled and said, "These two women were selected by our country, representing the whole heart of the monarch. I hope Dongwo and Daliang will have a good relationship from generation to generation, and I hope your Majesty will make it happen."
After the words fell, everyone couldn't help but quietly looked at the king.
Will the king accept this Eastern Japanese beauty?
Especially right now when Concubine Yi is pregnant.
Originally, there were no people in the harem, and the other one was not favored at all. Thinking about being a king these days, it is not easy to hold back, right?
At this time, Yan Shu, who was sitting beside the emperor, was also thinking about this question.
— Tsk, I planned to eat other people's melons tonight, so I want to eat my own head?
Come to fill the harem so soon?
Return two?
Are they all foreign?
The emperor...would want it?
However, before the emperor could speak, he heard a ding from the system, 【It depends on whether the emperor can accept it. These two are actually hermaphrodites. 】
Yan Shu, [? ? ? 】
