MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 20

In fact, it was not a big change from the past, but it was like a slight ripple in stagnant water, enough to surprise him.

Yu Wenlan was stunned.

This kind of scene has been away from him for almost three years, and it has reappeared today?

Of course, this is the normal state of a man, and he regains his composure soon after he wakes up.

But he couldn't recover for a long time.

Suddenly, Fu Hai's voice came from outside the tent, "Your Majesty, it's time to wake up."

There is a court meeting today, if you don't get up again, it's time to ask the minister to wait for him.

Yu Wenlan responded, got up and got out of bed first, looked back subconsciously, and saw that the girl was still asleep, her long hair was slightly disheveled, her cheeks were pink, she was still on the quilt, and her front was messy.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

What is this sleeping habit.

He silently pulled the quilt for her and closed the curtain again, without waking her up.

~~

Yu Wenlan did not reveal anything strange, went back to Qianming Palace to wash and change clothes, and went to Qinzheng Palace to go to court, just listening to the officials reporting government affairs one after another, but still thinking about that incident in her mind.

Of course he was happy, but he also wanted to know why the change happened this morning?

Recalling, yesterday he just read the booklets as usual to deal with important matters, met with a few ministers and clan kings who returned to Beijing, the itinerary was not different from usual, and the diet was the same as usual, except that he went to the Manna Hall to sleep.

By the way, Ganlu Hall.

His heart skipped a beat. In fact, since he discovered Li Yanshu, his life has gradually changed.

He used to be calm, like a deep pool that couldn't stir up waves, but every time he faced her, he couldn't restrain himself.

She made him wary, angry, helpless, funny, and even... confused.

Yes, every time he gets close to her, he always has uncontrollable emotion.

So, could it be her?

He still remembered the night when she first arrived at Ganlu Palace, she planned to heal him... Then from the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, and then she got into his arms inexplicably last night...

Could it be?

This is her method?

…

On this day in the court hall, the ministers were surprised to find that the king was actually distracted for the first time.

~~

Early in the morning, Concubine Zhou arrived at Ci'an Palace.

Seeing that the maid brought the medicine that had just been boiled into the palace, she took the initiative to ask Ying again, "Call the concubine to serve the queen mother to drink the medicine."

The Queen Mother said, "Just ask them to come. You don't have to come every day, just do your own thing."

This girl has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, how can she serve others well? Every time the medicine is given, it either burns or chokes people, and the Queen Mother, the real aunt, is also frightened.

Hu Yin fell, but Concubine Zhou said with a weary face, "The concubine is fine, why not talk to you."

He continued, "Your Majesty still always goes to Ganlu Hall today, and it's hard for ministers and concubines to see each other... I heard that Li Guiyi was ill yesterday, and His Majesty actually went there to spend the night..."

The queen mother said impatiently, "Introspect everything and think about whether you have not done enough."

Concubine Zhou felt aggrieved, "I heard that His Majesty was distracted this morning, could it be that he was fascinated by Li Guiyi..."

"shut up."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a sharp voice. Concubine Zhou trembled, but she saw the empress dowager said with a pale face, "Haven't you learned the lesson about the ice show a few days ago? What do you want to do?"

Concubine Zhou was frightened and knelt down on the ground, and said, "The empress dowager calmed down, it wasn't because the concubine deliberately inquired, it was because everyone in the court found out this morning, and the concubine only found out when the gossip spread to the palace..."

The Queen Mother scolded again, "The example of Concubine Ning and Princess Eldest is right in front of you, so it's not a lesson to be learned! Do you have to try it yourself to know how powerful it is?"

Concubine Zhou cried, "It's all bad for the concubine, please calm down the Queen Mother, the concubine is just worried that His Majesty will be confused..."

"Hurry up and shut up!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost wanted to kick her, "You don't need to come to Ai's house these few days, go back and think about it, if you have half the brains of Concubine An, you won't be like this!"

"Yes."

Concubine Zhou covered her face and left.

~~

When Concubine Zhou lost her temper back in her palace, Yan Shu was having breakfast.

I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror, and found that the boils had subsided, and her almond eyes were shining, and her beauty remained undiminished.

Now she was finally relieved, she hurriedly asked Liandong to fetch some broken silver and send it to the doctor last night.

Last night, it was agreed that we would reward her after she recovered, but she couldn't keep her word.

After finishing these, it's time to have breakfast.

However... today's breakfast is really a bit bland.

Millet pumpkin porridge, two dishes of vegetarian dishes, and a dish of salted tofu. The staple food is vegetarian steamed stuffed buns. Tsk, there is no diced meat.

Seeing her look of bitter melon, Liandong said earnestly from the side, "Yesterday, the doctor said that fish produces fire and meat produces phlegm. You must try your best to be light in the past few days. Master, please bear with it. The imperial chef is superb and vegetarian. It must be delicious."

Yan Shu sighed, although she was reluctant, she was really afraid of growing that ugly thing again, so she reluctantly picked up the chopsticks.

But to be honest, the level of the imperial chef is really good. The millet and pumpkin porridge is slightly sweet, the salt water tofu is full of fragrance, the steamed buns with leeks and vegetables are very delicious, and even the two side dishes are delicious.

Although this meal is not meaty, it is back to basics, which makes people taste the original taste of food.

He just finished his breakfast, and then he heard Xiaodongzi report recently, "Master, the Queen Mother sent you over."

Yan Shu was taken aback.

A few days ago, the queen mother was ill and never asked anyone to visit her. Why are you looking for her all of a sudden?

However, the system did not give an early warning, so there should be nothing wrong with it, so she said hello, hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Ci'an Palace.

All the way to the place, she saluted obediently, still looking like a harmless little white rabbit.

The queen mother asked her to get up, but she didn't give her a seat, she just said, "Since I was promoted to your position, I heard that your majesty is in a much better mood, this is your credit."

Yan Shu tasted the meaning of beating.

It seems that the emperor stayed overnight in Ganlu Hall for several days, which caused others' eyes.

But this was already expected, who called himself the emperor's target?

She could only pretend to be terrified and said, "The Queen Mother speaks seriously, it is a concubine's honor to serve His Majesty."

The Queen Mother asked again, "I heard that you were ill yesterday, how are you recovering now?"

Yan Shu said, "Thank you Empress Dowager for thinking about it, the concubine just has a little problem, and it's gone now."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's better to be young, and recover from illness sooner, unlike Aijia."

As soon as the words fell, a court lady came forward to report, "Queen Mother, Court Judge Zhang has come to take your pulse."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Come in."

The court lady should be, so she went to lift the curtain, and then saw an old man in his fifties or sixties entering the room, it was Zhang Shengkang who was sentenced by the imperial hospital.

Yan Shu stood aside, silently looked at the other party, thinking that the old man's face was flushed with a red face, and he was worthy of being the top leader of the Tai Hospital.

However, the imperial physicians have come to ask for a pulse, so why didn't the queen mother tell her to go back?

Do you want to beat it later?

However, after the court judge Zhang saluted, he knelt on the ground to give the empress dowager a pulse, and said after a while, "The empress dowager's body has almost recovered, but it has been cold and windy recently, so I should go less for a while now." outdoor."

The Queen Mother nodded.

But suddenly turned his eyes to Yan Shu, and said, "You might as well ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you, to see if you've recovered from your illness."

Yanshu, "..."

Why is there still a doctor on the way?

It's okay to see a sick person, but in this way, the scandal of her greedy mouth and getting angry will be exposed...

However, this is the Empress Dowager's grace, which cannot be refused at all.

After all, apart from the queen mother and the emperor, who in this palace is qualified to ask the court to see a doctor, right?

She could only respond, "Then I will be judged by the court." She sat down at the side,

Liandong hurriedly took a silk handkerchief and put it on her wrist, Zhang Yuanping put his finger on it, contemplating it for a while, it seemed more careful than showing it to the Queen Mother.

Taking advantage of this gap, the system beeped, [There is a melon judged by Zhang Yuan. 】

Yan Shu was a little bored, and immediately asked, 【What melon? 】

System, [this person once worshiped a genius doctor as a teacher when he was young, and studied medicine for twenty years, but became ungrateful after becoming an official. Not only did he steal the master's ancestral collection, but he also drove the master out of the capital, and finally died of depression. 】

Yanshu, […]

In an instant, he lost all affection for the old man in front of him.

Fortunately, at this time, the other party finally moved his hand away, and said, "Gui Yi is in good health, but she is a little angry. The diet is mainly nourishing and moistening, remember to be too warm."

The diagnosis of this disease is quite accurate, and I think I still have some skills, so Yan Shu said politely, "Thank you for the reminder."

Seeing the Queen Mother raised her hand, she said to her, "Go back first."

Yan Shu should be, obediently withdrew from the palace.

When she was far away, the queen mother dismissed the people around her and asked Zhang Shengkang, "How?"

Zhang Shengkang said in a low voice, "If the empress wants the emperor's grandson, she will have to wait. Li Guiyi is probably still a virgin."

~~

Leaving Ci'an Palace, eating Zhang Shengkang's melon all the way back to Ganlu Palace, Yan Shu thought more and more that something was wrong.

—Why did the queen mother ask the imperial doctor to check her pulse?

At first she thought it was the empress dowager who was anxious for the emperor's grandson, so she checked to see if she was pregnant.

However, if you think about it carefully, it has only been half a month since the emperor went to Ganlu Hall on the first day. Even if she had it, she couldn't be diagnosed, right?

The queen mother has given birth to children, so it is impossible not to have this common sense.

In addition, the court judge was still a disciple of a genius doctor, so it is expected that his medical skills must be very good, otherwise he would not be trusted by the Queen Mother...

Suddenly she jumped—

Will this person be able to see that he has never served in bed at all?

So you know the emperor can't do it!

~~

At dusk, Yu Wenlan once again stepped into the Ganlu Hall.

He has been a little anxious today, wanting to verify if the change this morning has something to do with her.

Therefore, he walked in a hurry all the way, and went directly into the palace without even asking the palace servants to pass on.

Looking up, I saw the girl was sitting on the warm couch, resting her chin on one hand, frowning, as if she was thinking about some difficult problem.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of him from the corner of the eye that he slowly got up and saluted, "See Your Majesty."

Um?

Yu Wenlan looked at her and asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

Yan Shu snorted, and said casually, "The concubine is just thinking about how to write in the script..."

Glancing at him from the corner of the eye, he suddenly sighed in his heart, 【Emperor, Emperor, do you know that your secret is about to be revealed? 】

What?

Yu Wenlan paused, his secret was about to be revealed?

What does this mean?

He thought vigilantly, did she tell others?

But then she took the initiative to say, "The Empress Dowager recruited my concubines to speak this morning, and just met Zhang Yuanping to ask for a safe pulse. The Queen Mother kindly asked Zhang Yuanpan to give my concubine a look at her body."

Yu Wenlan didn't understand her intention for a while, but she was still wary, "How do you see it?"

Yan Shu said, "It's nothing serious, Court Judge Zhang said that the concubine is just a little angry."

But he said anxiously in his heart, 【Don't you understand yet? It is said that the doctor judged by the hospital has excellent medical skills, so he may see that I have never slept with you! 】

[Leave a beauty like me still, people will doubt you, you know? 】

[Don't think of a way to deal with it soon? Otherwise, they will all know that you can't XX! ! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, he finally reacted.

— Based on his understanding, the Queen Mother would never ask Zhang Shengkang to check her pulse for no reason. So, the Queen Mother really wanted to know something.

Of course, compared to Yan Shu, the Queen Mother must be more willing to let Concubine Zhou be favored by him.

But that woman is selfish, stupid and vicious, let alone a daughter of the Zhou family, he can't even show her appearance.

The world belongs to the Yuwen family, not the Zhou family. Obediently giving her the position of imperial concubine and protecting the Zhou family's prosperity and wealth is already his maximum repayment for the Queen Mother's kindness in nurturing.

He can be filial to the queen mother, but he can't fully trust him, so even though he knew Zhang Shengkang's medical skills were superb, he never asked Zhang Shengkang to diagnose his pulse since the abnormality appeared in his body.

Of course, he hadn't entered the harem for three years, and the queen mother probably had some suspicions about him, so she asked Zhang Shengkang to diagnose Yanshu's pulse this time.

But he was already prepared, not to mention that there are signs of improvement now.

He cast his eyes on the girl in front of him, feeling a little indescribable in his heart for a moment—so she was worrying about him after all this hard thinking?

However, under his gentle gaze, the girl suddenly yawned, her eyes filled with tears.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

It's hard for her to think about it all day long, he said, "If you really can't think of it, think about it tomorrow. Your illness will be better, don't worry too much."

Yan Shu thought in her heart that after talking so much, his majestic king should understand, if she really didn't understand, she had nothing to do, so she said yes, and went to the clean room to wash up first.

When he came out after washing, he saw that the emperor had already undressed and was waiting on the couch.

Yanshu, "..."

She really admired him, this man worked really hard to cover up people's eyes and ears, and he did not hesitate to sleep next to her every day.

Yu Wenlan, who was waiting for the beauty, "???"

What is this nonsense?

Shouldn't it be moving?

He patted the side of the bed, "Come up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Yan Shu should be, and climbed up.

Just lay down, but was embraced by him in his arms.

He heard him whisper in her ear again, "Why did you get into my arms last night?"

The voice was unprecedentedly gentle.

What?

Yan Shu looked bewildered.

She got into his arms last night? Why doesn't she remember at all?

Yu Wenlan, "???"

do not remember?

Isn't she trying to help him recover on purpose?

But I saw her laughing with a smirk on her face, "Probably the concubine was dreaming last night, and accidentally bumped into His Majesty..."

Yu Wenlan snorted, "Then what dream did you have last night?"

Yan Shu tried to recall, "The concubine dreamed of being chased and killed last night. At first, she ran all over the mountains and plains for her life, but then she just found a tree hole that could accommodate someone, so she hid in it..."

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, it turned out that I was regarded as a tree hole.

He was thinking too much.

Suddenly, he felt a little cold for no reason, but after thinking about it again, besides her, he still couldn't find any other reason for the change he had this morning...

Forget it, even if she didn't do it, it must have something to do with her.

So tonight he made up his mind to try again and see if there would be any surprises tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, he said, "Then go to sleep." Then he closed his eyes.

However, it didn't take long before the voice she was muttering in his heart flooded into his ears—

[Fried buns just out of the pan, the bottom is crispy, the top is soft, the most amazing thing is the stuffing inside, fennel pork bites into a bag of juice, leeks and shrimps are full of freshness, tsk tsk! 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

Before she could open her mouth to ask, she heard her continue, 【No, just eating pan fried buns makes me choke, and I have to play millet noodle porridge to satisfy my stomach. Tsk, the freshly ground millet noodles are sticky. , the mouth is full of food fragrance...]

[No, no, no, millet noodle porridge is a bit bland, it must be served with spiced mutton to be delicious, fried buns must be warm tofu nao, white tender and smooth tofu nao is topped with freshly cooked stewed soup, and then come Order chili oil and chive flowers, and coriander powder must not be missing! 】

[Oh no, the spicy tofu nao with fried buns may still be a bit too salty, it’s perfect with freshly fried fried dough sticks! Bite down that crispy! 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

what's going on?

The author has something to say:

A certain emperor: Touched, my beloved concubine has devoted all her energy to me, and it can be seen that I am the only one in my heart.

Yan Shu: Big fried dough sticks wrapped in water and five-spice mutton tofu brain, all of them are better than someone else.

A certain emperor: ...

--

A certain emperor: So what has not been successful, I still need to work hard! Don't worry guys, I'm sure I'll be fine!
