MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 16
Yu Wenlan fell into astonishment.
I couldn't help but glanced at Yan Shu, wondering how could she even know about Cheng'en Gong's mansion?
You know, he himself doesn't know that well...
At this time, Cheng Engong asked again, "I heard that the empress dowager's phoenix is not in good health, so I don't know how it is now?"
Yu Wenlan came back to her senses and said, "The queen mother is recuperating in the palace, her body is better than the previous two days, uncle don't need to worry too much."
Then he asked the two to sit down.
Concubine Zhou also straightened her waist.
Then there were other people on stage, such as Sangong and Liubu, all of whom were important officials in the court.
Seeing the real appearance of these melon-eating protagonists, Yan Shu's eyes are too busy—
[It turns out that the servant of the Duanxiu Military Department is actually a rough guy with a beard on his face, just like that, is he actually a shou? 】
Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "???"
What is a "beast"?
Why can't he understand?
Before she recovered, she heard her exclaim in her heart, 【That old man with a straight face and white hair turned out to be Wei Ruzhang, a scholar of the Wenhua Pavilion? Tsk tsk, what a person! Isn't this the sanctimonious in the legend? 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
To be honest, since he read the book "The Merry Man and the Pretty Woman" last night, he felt more and more that Wei Ruzhang looked treacherous.
However, the person who went to investigate has not returned yet, and he can't do anything to the other party.
Immediately after that was Sun Xiaoguang, Marquis of Linwu, followed by his grandson, Sun Zhanpeng.
—After a lot of turmoil in the past few days, Marquis Linwu finally reconciled with his wife, but the son remained in the mansion as his own flesh and blood.
Yan Shu hid aside and tsk tsk, 【Poor man, didn't you realize that your son doesn't look like you? You have a square face, he has a round face, you have a high nose, he has a flat nose! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
He couldn't help but silently compared the father and son, and suddenly felt that this son really didn't look like Marquis Linwu...
Is it really not his?
This is how to do? Do you want to remind him?
But he has no proof...
…
Next, he learned the little secrets of the Marquis of Guangyang, the Tongzheng Envoy of the Southwest, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and many others.
For example, Guangyang Hou had pica, and liked to eat rice paper while writing. He said that he was sick and did not come to court. In fact, he ate too much rice paper and had a stomachache.
In fact, the Southwest Tongzheng envoy loves to visit brothels, as long as he leaves Beijing, he will look for flowers and ask willows every night...
There is also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who looks serious on the surface, but actually loves to cry, often hiding in the study and crying quietly...
After the ceremony, the king's three views were seriously shaken—who are these people around him?
Are there not a few normal ones? ? ?
~~
Seeing that the etiquette was exhausted and everyone was seated, it was time for the ice show to begin.
The first item is grab and so on.
At this time, a banner stood on one end of the vast ice surface. With the sound of a gong, more than 20 soldiers wearing special iron-toothed ice boots began to paddle forward on the ice, rushing towards the banner like the stars. , the first to arrive wins.
During the period, there was also the sound of gongs and drums to help out, which made people feel tense and tense.
Everyone stared intently, and Yan Shu didn't dare to blink.
She discovered that this rush is actually the speed skating of the later generations, as exciting as the later generations!
There are five preliminary rounds in total, and after one by one is finished, the top three in each round will be selected for the finals. In this way, all the participants in the finals are the best of the best, which is naturally more exciting.
It made everyone's blood boil.
Then there is Zhuanlong shooting.
In the middle of the ice surface hangs a gate with a ball on the top and bottom of the gate. Six groups of soldiers are dressed in different colors. There is one person in the front of each team holding a flag of the same color as the clothes, and the people behind carry bows and arrows.
Following an order, the six teams began to slide in a snake shape on the ice, starting from the lake and heading for Jingmen.
From the viewing platform, it looks like six colorful dragons meandering, very beautiful.
When approaching Jingmen, the archers drew their bows to the ball on Jingmen one after another, and then returned by the same route. Not only were their arrows accurate, but they also kept their formation all the time. The picture was very beautiful.
After that, there were handstands on ice, pole climbing, and ice contests, all of which were brilliant and dazzling.
Of course, for Yan Shu, the best thing is the delicious food on the table.
In addition to all kinds of snacks and oily fruits, there are even freshly roasted fat pigs and sheep.
You know, this kind of rude way of eating is not easily seen in the palace!
Tsk, the skin of the roasted pork is extremely crispy, and the meat inside is juicy and juicy. It tastes firm and soft, so satisfying!
Roast lamb is even better! The bubbling mutton is tender and juicy, and the aroma of the charcoal fire permeates every inch of it. It's so delicious that you want to dance!
Tasting this rare and extremely delicious food while watching the wonderful game outside, even if it is colder, it is worth it!
Yu Wenlan, who has been silently paying attention to her, "..."
Everyone in Guanjing Pavilion has their own thoughts, only her is full of gossip and food.
Her mouth hasn't stopped since the dish was served.
Can you eat like this, won't you get fat?
But... It seems that being fatter is not bad cough.
Seeing how delicious her food was, he couldn't help but take two bites.
~~
After the competition on ice, it was time for today's finale - grabbing the ball on ice.
This is the biggest and most intense event today.
With the sound of drums, two teams of soldiers, dressed in red and yellow, entered the arena.
The imperial commander came to the viewing pavilion with a ball in his hand, bowed to the king and said, "Please kick the ball, Your Majesty."
This is the ball that the two teams need to compete for next.
A dragon is painted in vermilion on the golden ball, which needs the emperor's own touch to show its preciousness.
This is an all-time rule of this dynasty, and Yu Wenlan has already pointed it out twice before, and at this time, he puts the finishing touches on it again and hands it over to the emperor to lead.
The imperial commander received the ball, and the battle for the ball began.
The red and yellow teams competed against each other, which was very exciting, and the audience in the pavilion also watched the game intently.
Under the influence of Yan Shu, Yu Wenlan started to eat barbecue again when she had nothing to do.
The strong taste of the barbecue made him unable to resist drinking a few more sips of wine.
When he stretched out his hand to hold the cup, he showed his left hand, and he saw a faint dark red on the side of his hand, which seemed to be a sign of injury.
On the side, Concubine Ning immediately glanced at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess Yu Wenyan said, "Your Majesty's hand is injured?"
Yu Wenlan didn't show any strangeness, just said, "It's nothing."
The eldest princess said again, "Your Majesty, please don't hide anything from your ministers. Once your body of ten thousand gold is injured, it is no small matter."
Then he looked at Fu Hai and scolded, "How do you work as errands? Why don't you tell me who hurt His Majesty?"
This startled Fu Hai, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please calm down, His Majesty accidentally injured you while practicing sword two days ago."
Yu Wenyan snorted again, "Stop bluffing me! Your Majesty has been practicing martial arts since childhood, when did you hurt yourself? Besides, how could your majesty's injury in the middle of the night be caused by practicing swords? Who is it, and why do you want to cover it up, a slave? ?”
Fu Hai dared not speak any more.
Yu Wenlan frowned.
Very good, you even know that he was injured in the middle of the night?
At this time, another minister said, "Your Majesty's dragon body is no small matter. If someone really hurts you, you must be severely punished!"
As soon as these words came out, several people echoed, "Anyone dares to hurt His Majesty? Who is it? Your Majesty must bring him to justice!"
…
On the side, Yan Shu called in her heart what a good guy, and she guessed right.
These people wanted to stir up trouble by seizing the emperor's injury. They probably thought it was the injury that the emperor suffered when he favored her, so they wanted to force him to punish her?
Unfortunately, that's not the case.
And Yu Wenlan's ears suddenly became noisy.
He could hear Concubine Ning who was nearby saying in her heart, 【With so many people cheering, Your Majesty will definitely not shield that bitch! Hmph, we must get rid of her this time. 】
Concubine Zhou was very pleased with herself, [Concubine Ning is quite smart and knows how to ask the eldest princess to come forward. Only that silly woman, the eldest princess, could do such a thing. Fortunately, after listening to An Bin's words, I just want to go to the theater today. 】
Concubine An said in her heart, 【So many people came out together today, His Majesty must give an explanation,】
…
He knew that some people were restless and wanted to make trouble by taking advantage of his injury, and sure enough, all of them came out today.
He said, "I should thank elder sister for her concern, but my injury has nothing to do with others, it was indeed caused by myself."
Then he looked at the general envoy, Du Yushi and others who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "I have already told you about this matter, and you are making noises today, are you deaf or have a bad memory?"
Several people hurriedly said, "I dare not wait."
Yu Wenyan hurriedly chimed in, "Your Majesty, they are all veterans for your own good, so please don't cover up the culprit!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Yanshu from the corner of his eye, humming in his heart, 【Li Yanshu? Is that the one who keeps eating? What's so good about being a country woman who doesn't like the Concubine Ning I chose for you? What a lack of thought! The power of this harem must not fall into the hands of others! 】
Yu Wenlan sneered, "Elder Sister, is this trying to force me to admit something I didn't have?"
Yu Wenyan said, "I dare not."
Yu Wenlan snorted, "Don't dare? Then how did you know about my injury? Who told you?"
Yu Wenyan said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Didn't Your Majesty show his hand?"
Yu Wenlan sneered, "It was my left hand that I showed just now, but it was my right hand that was hurt."
The eldest princess was taken aback, and glanced at Concubine Ning.
Damn it, this girl didn't tell her which hand the emperor hurt!
Concubine Ning was also taken aback, thinking how could she be mistaken, isn't the color on the side of his hand a scar?
Yu Wenlan said coldly, "What I have on my left hand is the paint from that ball just now."
What? It turned out to be the color of the ball!
The eldest princess Yu Wenyan and Concubine Ning looked at each other, both flustered.
Yu Wenlan asked the eldest princess in a deep voice, "I want to know, who planned today's farce and invited the imperial sister to play?"
The eldest princess paused, and hurriedly said, "I dare not, no one is planning anything, it's just that I was too worried when I heard that His Majesty was injured."
Yu Wenlan snorted, and asked again, "Then who told you that I was injured in the middle of the night? Why does everyone outside the palace know all about the troubles in the palace?"
The weight of these words was really serious, Yu Wenyan's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words are serious, I really dare not."
After the words fell, Fu Hai suddenly said to Yu Wenlan, "Your Majesty, this servant is stupid. I just found out yesterday that there is a sneaky boy in Qianming Palace, and he actually reported His Majesty's whereabouts in private."
The author has something to say:
Yanshu: Do you want melons? The stuffed kind.
A certain emperor: My concubine let me slowly...
Yan Shu; the big brother is too simple, so where is he now!
Yu Wenlan: ...
