MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 21

Yu Wenlan was surprised, but she heard her crying in her heart again, 【I want to eat big pancakes with grilled chicken, stewed noodles and donkey meat...】

"What’s wrong with you?"

He finally couldn't help asking.

Why is my mind full of food? ? ?

Yan Shu was taken aback, and stammered, "It's nothing wrong with the concubine..."

Before he could finish his words, his stomach grunted in response to the occasion.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Yan Shu, "..."

Seeing him sizing her up, he suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't you have dinner?"

Yan Shu was a little embarrassed, but even more aggrieved, "Eat it..."

That's too much! white! up!

She is vegetarian from morning to night today, and even only ate two bowls of porridge at night. Although there are four dishes on the table, they are bitter gourd soup, crispy fried lotus root, vinegared cabbage and golden tofu.

Damn, you have to become a monk when you get into a fire, and even the meat star is gone, how can she live as a carnivore?

Yu Wenlan already understood, and could only persuade her with a smile, "The dining room is also prepared for you according to the doctor's orders. For the sake of your body, you should endure it and eat what you want when you are done."

Yan Shu faltered and gave a murmur, "...Yes."

The two closed their eyes again.

Yu Wenlan gradually took longer breaths, but Yan Shu still couldn't sleep.

After thinking about it, she tried to call the system, [Tongtong, do you have food and broadcast? 】

system,【? ? ? What the hell? It's beyond the scope of business. 】

Yan Shu, [I'm starving to death, why don't you tell me what delicious food someone ate, and let me comfort you. 】

System, [… I heard that there are still people who use this to satisfy their hunger. But just in time, let me tell you about the family banquet of Shangshu Hubu tonight, it is freshly baked. 】

Yan Shu, [? Is there anything special about their house? 】

System, [Have you heard of fish brain tofu? Only five hundred carp brains can make one plate. 】

Yan Shu, [what? Tofu made from five hundred carp brains? The old man didn't think he was in a panic! 】

The king who was sleeping was awakened by this exclamation.

— that old man? Which old man?

Just as she was puzzled, she heard her say, 【Braised bear's paw in peony sauce? Too cruel! How painful it is! 】

【what? Thousands of East China Sea yellow croakers only take the meat on the gills, pick it off and steam it into fish cakes? Tsk, this Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is better than the emperor, how many lives will be harmed by his birthday! 】

Yu Wenlan knew it, she was talking about the Minister of the Ministry of Households Qiweizhai.

That's right, Qi Weizhai did celebrate his birthday today.

But what about fish brain tofu, peony bear paw, and rhubarb fish cake?

If it is true as she said, wouldn't this meal cost tens of thousands of taels of silver?

But the old man kept crying with him when he was doing disaster relief a few days ago.

No, it seems that someone has to go and have a look at the Qi mansion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized, how did she know?

Of course, there are so many puzzles on her that he can't even solve them, and there are even some... I'm used to it.

Yu Wenlan was in a complicated mood, and asked, "Are you still hungry? Do you want to ask the dining room to prepare some supper?"

But she heard her smile, "Thank you Your Majesty, my concubine is not hungry anymore, let's sleep."

You must know that the function of eating and broadcasting is that seeing others eat is like entering your own stomach, so as to gain satisfaction. When she was seriously ill and unable to eat in her previous life, she was very happy to watch food and broadcasts.

Of course, fish brain tofu and bear's paws are expensive, but she doesn't want to eat them at all, it's too sinful!

So go to bed quickly, and you can have breakfast when you open your eyes tomorrow morning.

After speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Yu Wenlan was left, "???"

What are these?

Also, what is he doing here tonight?

Seeing her falling asleep, he lost sleepiness, his mind was full of investigating corrupt officials...

~~

At this time, in Zhongcui Palace, Nanny Zhuang beside the Empress Dowager was talking to Concubine Zhou.

"Young concubine, don't worry, there are so many women in this palace, even if it's not Li Guiyi, they will be someone else, so you must not keep your eyes on your eyes, it is the right thing to grasp the most important thing."

Concubine Zhou pouted, "But how do I catch it? Your Majesty didn't give me a chance, and he didn't say anything about becoming a queen. Do you want me to wait for death?"

Anyway, Nanny Zhuang is the Empress Dowager's confidant, so she said this to the Empress Dowager.

But Nanny Zhuang said with a smile, "You come from a noble family, not to mention there is the queen mother in charge of the palace, so why worry about not having a chance? As long as you don't touch His Majesty's Ni Lin, the rest will come naturally."

These words... Could it be that there is hope for her waiting?

Concubine Zhou rolled her eyes and hurriedly said hello.

~~

Manna Hall.

I don't know how long it took, the king finally fell asleep.

Gradually, he had another dream.

The dream is a vast wilderness with blue sky and white clouds above his head. He is lying on the soft grass, with the fragrance of wild flowers on the tip of his nose.

Such a night passed, and on the second day, when the sky was getting dark, Yu Wenlan woke up as usual.

He was thinking about important matters, and hurriedly checked, but saw that the scene from yesterday reappeared.

And it seems that there is some progress compared with yesterday.

There is hope in his heart.

If it happened by chance once, then it is no coincidence that turning points happened one after another. He has hope.

Looking back, the girl was still asleep, with pink cheeks and a lazy face, like a begonia woven on a tent.

Especially the slightly pouty lips, pink and moist, as attractive as cherries.

There was no court meeting this morning, and he was not in a hurry to leave, so he lowered his head when his heart moved.

However, before he touched her, he kicked her unexpectedly.

It was too late and then quickly, he stretched out his hand to hold the foot, and the girl gradually opened her eyes.

Yu Wenlan frowned and asked, "Why did you kick me?"

Yan Shu just woke up and was still a little dazed, and said in a daze, "This concubine didn't kick His Majesty, but this concubine kicked Deng Tuzi..."

Yu Wenlan, "Deng Tuzi?"

Yan Shu nodded, "I dreamed that I was walking well on the road, and suddenly I was pulled into the grass. The man wanted to molested me, so I stretched out my legs and kicked him..."

Damn, this time it was considered light, next time you have this kind of dream, you have to beat him to death.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

He tried to ask, "What does that apprentice look like?"

But I heard her say, "The concubine didn't see it clearly, but vaguely remembered that she had a bearded face, which was very wretched."

Yu Wenlan touched his chin silently. Fortunately, he doesn't have a beard on his face, so it must not be him.

After saying this, Yan Shu also woke up.

After finally surviving the night, today's breakfast was beckoning, she hurriedly got up and said, "This concubine serves Your Majesty to get up."

[Get up and eat, hey! 】

Yu Wenlan's previous mood was gone, so she groaned and got out of bed.

After the two of them washed up, breakfast was already on the table.

Hey, he was here this morning, so he was able to have another imperial meal, Yan Shu excitedly came to the table, but was dumbfounded.

There were more than a dozen bowls and dishes on the table, including side dishes, soup, porridge and staple food, but all of them were vegetarian.

"Why is Your Majesty eating vegetarian food?"

She looked surprised.

Fu Hai bowed beside him to answer his doubts, "Guiyi forgot? The ceremony will be held in the first hall in the next day, and you will have to fast in the palace for three days from now on."

Yanshu, "..."

God, she had completely forgotten about this.

The scariest three days of the year are finally here.

You know, these three days are not as simple as not being able to eat meat, and fried foods with heavy oil content are also prohibited, and only steamed and boiled foods are on the dinner table.

It can be said that after three days, if you don't want to lose weight, you can lose two or three catties.

She was wilting, but Yu Wenlan had already picked up the chopsticks, and deliberately said, "Today's meal is refreshing, just right for you."

Yanshu, "..."

There is no way, if I don’t eat it, even this is gone.

She had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks.

Shao Qing, seeing that after breakfast, Yu Wenlan should go back to Qianming Palace.

Yan Shu sent him to the door, but he suddenly turned around and said to her, "I won't be able to come here again for these three days."

The so-called fasting, one is to be a vegetarian, and moreover, even the king should not visit his concubine and suspend all banquets and entertainment activities.

He wants to see how he reacts.

But she heard her cheering in her heart, 【Great! I can finally sleep in a big bed by myself! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

He knew it, huh.

~~

Back at Qianming Palace, Yu Wenlan immediately dispatched Jin Yiwei to investigate the fact that Minister of the Household Department, Qi Wei Zhai, was celebrating his birthday.

At the same time, in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Zhou was about to go out with a food box.

The maid Xiuyun who was close to her was a little hesitant, and couldn't help calling out, "Your Majesty, is it really suitable?"

Xiuyun knew that the master had put something wrong in the dessert, and she was worried that if His Majesty found out...

Concubine Zhou glanced at her, "What's wrong? I finally got this chance."

Now fasting for three days, most people can't resist vegetarianism, and usually have some snacks in the morning and afternoon, so the Queen Mother specially arranged this opportunity for her.

Your Majesty will definitely not be able to refuse.

She managed to get this medicine with great difficulty. It is said that it can be tried a hundred times, if you don't seize the opportunity, who knows when the next time will be?

~~

At the same time, in Ganlu Hall, Yan Shu who was writing a storybook received a system message, 【Dagua, Concubine Zhou is going to give the emperor pure medicine. 】

What the hell? ? ?

Yan Shu almost made a typo, 【Pure medicine? ? ? 】

The system, [That's right, I've already left the house with chestnut pancakes, tsk, we're almost at Qianming Palace. 】

Yan Shu, [...wait a minute, she suddenly went to deliver snacks, can the emperor let her in? 】

System, [In the name of the queen mother, I can definitely go in, otherwise the emperor will become disrespectful to the queen mother? 】

Yan Shu, [...That's what I said, but the emperor is not good enough, and taking pure medicine probably won't work, so it's okay. 】

The system, [That's not necessarily true. Concubine Zhou used Suoqingsan this time, the top three drugs in the Jianghu. Normal men can take whatever they want. The emperor's kind of flaws can't be released, it is very likely It will lead to meridian disorder and confusion. 】

Yan Shu, [! ! Damn it is so poisonous? 】

Just imagine, those are her golden thighs, if she gets mad...

At this moment, the system said again, 【Concubine Zhou has already entered the imperial study. 】

Yan Shu couldn't sit still any longer, thought for a while, grabbed something from the hall, and hurried out the door.

The author has something to say:

A certain emperor: My concubine is here to save me! move!

Yan Shu: Don't get me wrong that I'm here to eat melons.

A certain emperor: ...
