MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 90
Today is Changning Festival, which is the emperor's birthday.
Therefore, the celebrations in the palace are mainly concentrated on this day.
At this time, Yan Shu had just finished talking about the Wa Kingdom with the Queen Mother, and then heard the report from the palace staff that the female guests who had entered the palace to celebrate had arrived.
The two went out together, to Chunhexie where the female guests were entertained today.
The birthday of the Son of Heaven is unusual. In today's Spring and Pavilion, apart from the ladies of the royal family of Daliang, the family members of several ministers in the court, and the family members of the envoys of various countries, they are all wearing their own national costumes. The costumes are colorful and colorful, each with its own characteristics, and it is very lively.
Among them, the one who fought the most was undoubtedly Princess Gaoli. But today, not only is she wearing Gaoli's characteristic spring silk dress, her hair is combed in a high bun, and all kinds of gold, silver, pearls and emeralds are inserted on it, but the two maidservants beside her are also carefully dressed, which is very eye-catching .
In fact, Yan Shu had already met this Princess Gao Li at the big banquet in Jiying Hall last night, and she still remembered that her dress was already very gorgeous last night, unexpectedly, it was only one night, and she changed it again Once again, she became the focus of the audience.
She thought to herself, it seems that this is also a person who loves beauty.
However, it was a long way for Gao Li to go to the capital. As a beauty lover, it was not easy. He had to carry so many jewelry and clothing for such a long trip, and it must be a bit laborious to pull the carriage.
Of course, no matter what others say, the happiest thing for her today is seeing her mother again.
— Cough, after all, her mother, Mrs. Zhu, is also a serious Marquis now, and she has a royal order, so she is naturally qualified to attend such a banquet.
In addition, Yan Shu is now pregnant with a dragon heir, so the future is boundless. During the banquet, many noble ladies took the initiative to chat with Mrs. Zhu, complimenting Mrs. Zhu one after another with all kinds of flattering words, and the intention of making friends is very obvious.
Today's celebration will last for a whole day. After lunch, various songs, dances, operas and juggling will begin on the stage of Chunhexie.
Yan Shu purposely sat with her mother, taking advantage of the din of gongs and drums on the stage, she quietly reminded her mother, "Just listen to those who coaxed you with good words just now, and be careful in everything, don't take it too lightly." Trust others."
But I saw my mother nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my wife understands."
Yan Shu said yes, and chatted with her mother about the family situation for a while.
Not long after, an excerpt was sung on the stage, and all the guests applauded.
But at this moment, I heard the gorgeous Princess Gaoli say in not-so-fluent Chinese, "Daliang's singing and dancing are very wonderful. To express my gratitude, I also asked my maidservant to prepare a dance for everyone to enjoy."
Huh? Gao Liguo also prepared a dance?
Everyone became curious when they heard this.
The queen mother nodded and said, "Then please."
Princess Gao Li nodded, then gestured to the maidservant.
The two maidservants should have done so, went to the side to prepare, and went to the stage.
At this time, there was a square table with props left for the excerpts on the stage. The two maids lit a candle and placed it in the center of the table. Afterwards, they carried their drums on their backs and sang and danced around the table.
Surprisingly, there was someone playing the piano beside the stage, and she was also Princess Gaoli's maid.
Seeing this scene, Yan Shu couldn't help sighing in her heart, this princess is someone who enjoys it! Traveling all the way, not only did she bring enough clothes and jewelry, she even brought a band?
Cattle!
But the system interjected, 【This is mainly because her husband likes to enjoy himself. That Gaoli prince Li Taichu is notoriously a dandy. In order not to be rejected by her husband, this daughter-in-law can only try her best to dress herself up and try her best to make him happy. . 】
Yanshu, "..."
I see.
Well, it is not easy for Princess Gaoli to have such a husband.
Just as she was thinking this way, she saw the two maids on the stage jumping up and down on the square table, and jumped up on the table around the candle they had lit just now.
— You know, the square table is only two feet and eight inches long. The two maidservants stood on it, dancing while beating the drums, and constantly changing their movements, turning around a few times from time to time. They were actually very stable. , It's like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is amazing.
The most important thing is that the candle that was lit by them was not extinguished at all, and it was still burning well when they left the table after dancing.
After dancing to a song, there was a burst of applause in the Chunhe Pavilion, and everyone was amazed and applauded, which was very lively.
The queen mother couldn't help nodding her head and said, "Gaoli dancers are highly skilled, it's really an eye-opener."
The guests followed suit one after another.
The voice fell, but Princess Gao Li thanked her, and then said, "These two women were selected by me, and I brought them to Daliang this time because I wanted to give them to Daliang. If you like it, keep them in the palace, they can play the piano and dance, and can accompany the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi."
As he spoke, he deliberately nodded at Yan Shu.
Yanshu, "..."
Emmm, just now I thought it was not easy for the princess, but I didn't expect to turn around and want to send someone to the harem again.
—I'm afraid it wasn't because I saw the emperor rejected the two "beauties" of Dongwo last night, knowing that the emperor was very difficult, so I wanted to ask the queen mother to agree today?
Just as she was thinking this way, she suddenly paused again. Damn, these two maidservants are also some kind of strange... people, right?
But the system said, 【That's not true. Compared with Dongwo, the Gaoli royal family is somewhat normal, but these two maidservants have already been touched by the Gaoli prince. Of course, these two are not the only ones. The prince will not let go of any women in the Gaoli court who are a little bit pretty. 】
Yanshu, […]
Well, it really is a dude.
It's just that she still didn't understand, so she asked the system again, 【Princess Gao Li doesn't know that the men on Daliang's side care about women's virginity? 】
System, [Of course I know, they also pay attention to this. 】
Yan Shu didn't understand even more, 【Then why did she send the maid who was touched by her husband to the emperor? Isn't she afraid that Emperor Liang will be angry? 】
System, 【That's what she planned. 】
Yan Shu, "???"
Is this what Princess Gao Li planned?
What is this number?
The system didn't speak for a while, so she had to try to think about it from Princess Gao Li's point of view, and thought to herself, could it be that the prince is promiscuous everywhere, causing his wife to hate him so much?
Then the daughter-in-law intends to use this method to anger Emperor Liang, which will cause Daliang and the Gaoli royal family to be angry, and then ask the royal family there to punish her husband?
System, [almost. 】
Yan Shu couldn't hold back and said, "I'll go," 【This method is going too far! And this princess is Li Taichu's official wife, once Li Taichu is convicted, she will be implicated herself! 】
She still couldn't understand, isn't this the legendary killing eight hundred enemies and self-defeating one thousand?
But he heard the system say, "It's not enough to be convicted, because this Li Taichu belongs to General Li Touba, and is currently the most powerful prince in Gaoli. The concubine has always wanted to take revenge on him, but there is no other way in the country. It is not easy to come to Daliang, so I can only use this method to punish him. Not expecting anything else, she planned to turn around and ask the ministers in their country to talk about her husband, at least to ask Li Taichu to restrain himself. 】
Yanshu, […]
It's really hard for Princess Gao Li to go around for such a small purpose.
Of course, no matter what the purpose of Princess Gao Li is now, the key is how does the Queen Mother plan?
Yan Shu tried to look at her big boss.
There was a trace of uncertainty in my heart.
But she saw her leader on the list smiled and said, "Aijia is old, so don't waste the great youth of these two girls. Besides, the mountains and rivers of the two countries are far away, so it is the same for Aijia to leave their homes and stay. I can't bear it. The concubine's heart is mourning. If the family takes them, I don't want them first. After all, they are all raised by their biological parents. It is really a sin to tell them to stay away from their homeland."
Probably this sentence is a bit long, so Princess Gao Li had to wait for the translator to translate it before she understood it.
Then, he had no choice but to say with disappointment in his eyes, "Well, thank you Queen Mother for your kindness."
Unexpectedly, the voice just fell, but the Queen Mother said to the crowd, "Concubine Yi is pregnant now, this is Your Majesty's first child, it is very important to Daliang, the Ai family does not want anything to happen again, and it will hurt her womb gas."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall could only agree.
I couldn't help feeling in my heart, the Queen Mother said this specially for Concubine Yi!
Tsk tsk, but speaking of it, Concubine Yi is too powerful! However, the daughter of a small official from a small place is now not only favored by the emperor, but also cared for by the queen mother!
What method did she use?
As for the Queen Mother's intentions, how could Yan Shu not know about it?
So after everyone finished answering their questions, she also immediately said to the queen mother, "My concubine, thank you for your concern."
The queen mother only nodded, and said in a low voice, "Let's watch the show, let's not talk about anything else."
As soon as the voice fell, a new play was staged on the stage, and everyone was soon immersed in it again.
Only Yan Shu is still moved in her heart—
Woooooo, her boss is too kind to her!
When I go back later, I will write a story book and read it carefully to the Queen Mother.
~~
Yan Shu kept her word, returned to Ganlu Hall in the evening, and immediately began to write.
Although the efficiency is not as good as before pregnancy, the spirit is much better in the past. Until the evening, when Yu Wenlan arrived, she had already written the first half of the story.
Seeing her sitting at the table, Yu Wenlan was also surprised, and asked, "Why did you think of writing a storybook today?"
Yan Shu said, "Because the concubine got some inspiration today, I feel that I should write it quickly, otherwise I won't write it all the time, I'm afraid the readers will forget all about the concubine."
—Hey, it's mainly because of her boss! She still remembered that the Empress Dowager mentioned that she likes to read strange novels, so this time she specially wrote it into a book of strange stories.
Yu Wenlan listened silently, feeling a little sour in her heart—
Why does she have such a good relationship with the Queen Mother now?
Was he raised by the queen mother, or her?
Is she his concubine or the empress dowager?
…
After being so sad for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Then what kind of story are you writing this time? Can you tell me first?"
Fortunately, she was quite generous. She nodded immediately when she heard the words, and then said to him, "The concubine wrote a strange story today. It is said that there was once a country outside the East China Sea, whose king was arrogant and lustful. He doesn’t do business at night. Because of this, many ministers who don’t do business in his court, don’t think about governing the country well all day long, but only think about how to please the monarch and seek official positions and gold and silver.”
"Suddenly one day, someone presented a peerless beauty to the monarch. The monarch was overjoyed, and immediately brought the beauty into the harem, and rewarded the person who sent the beauty. Ignore the government affairs. However, soon, the people around the monarch noticed that the monarch's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his figure was getting thinner and his face was getting old."
"After some investigation, everyone found out that the beauty was actually a monster. The monarch's vitality had already been sucked by her, and he was already dying. Everyone was frightened, so they hurriedly looked for the magician everywhere. Exorcising the monster, however, this monster has already greatly improved its skill, and ordinary warlocks are no match for her at all. Seeing that, within half a month, this monster not only sucked up the king, killed the ministers, and started to harm the common people."
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Isn't this talking about the Eastern Japanese monarch?
Well, that man really deserves to die! That sounds quite refreshing.
So when she paused, he hurriedly asked, "Then who will subdue this monster in the end?"
But she smiled mysteriously and said, "Naturally, she is a mysterious woman from the Eastern Continent. This woman is world-class in martial arts, and is proficient in various methods of subjugating demons and demons. After fighting this monster for seven days and nights, she finally killed this monster." subdue."
Yu Wenlan, "???"
Heroine?
...Is this talking about herself again?
Sure enough, she added right afterward, "By the way, Your Majesty, do you still remember the script of the heroine that I told you last time? I intend to include this story in that script and make it into a long story."
Hehe, after all, it is necessary to innovate from time to time to surprise the readers!
"..."
Yu Wenlan could only nod her head and said, "Okay, this is up to you. I want to know, what about the heroine after the monster?"
Yan Shu thought as she said, "After killing the demons, the people there cried and begged her to stay and govern the country, but the heroine's nature is unfettered, so she didn't agree, and quietly left again in the early morning when no one noticed. "
Hey, doesn't this lead to the next story?
Well, I don't know which country will contribute some wonderful news next.
Yu Wenlan, "..."
He is not interested in the news of those wonderful countries, he is just worried that her body will not be able to hold on. So I said, "Write slowly, don't tire yourself out."
Yan Shu nodded.
I heard him add, "But no matter what, you still have to listen to the Four Books and Five Classics every day."
Yanshu, "..."
This man can always turn heads when the time is right.
~~
After telling the story, it was getting late, so the two of them went to wash up, and then went to sleep on the couch.
Of course, today coincided with Yu Wenlan's birthday, and Yan Shu did not forget to sing him a birthday song beside his pillow.
It made him feel warm, and he couldn't help but kissed her twice on the forehead, and hugged her from behind to sleep.
How could he have slept like this until midnight, but suddenly heard Fu Hai's anxious report from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Honglu Temple just came to report that there was an assassination at the envoy's post tonight. Prince Gaoli was stabbed."
What?
Yu Wenlan opened his eyes.
