MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 4

No matter what others say, Zhang Cairen is in a bad mood tonight.

After returning to Linhua Hall, sitting in front of the mirror and taking off her makeup, she said bitterly, "The person His Majesty is looking at tonight is not me."

The court lady Chun'e hurriedly comforted her, "Don't think too much, talented person. If your majesty is not looking at you, is it looking at Li Meiren? Look at how shabby her clothes are."

"It's her."

Zhang Cairen gritted his teeth, "She dressed like that on purpose, everyone is all dressed up tonight, but she is the only one with little soup, wouldn't it be conspicuous?"

Chun'e suddenly realized, "In this way, Meili Li has too many eyes."

Zhang Cairen snorted coldly, "I still can't talk about going in the afternoon, but if I go and dress like that on purpose, there's no need to talk about her scheming!"

Chun'e hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark, and those who are usually silent are the most powerful characters!"

What a dog that doesn't bark!

Thinking of the scene at the banquet, Zhang Cairen became even more resentful.

Well now, she made a big joke and was almost accused of disrespect, but His Majesty didn't even look at her, it was all up to Li Yanshu.

Li Yanshu!

A woman from a remote country actually has such great abilities!

But I heard Chun'e worried, "In this way, wouldn't Beauty Li be favored first?"

Zhang Cairen was shocked.

With Li Yanshu's looks, once she is favored, will anyone else have a good life?

No way!

She thought for a while, and said, "Go and get a bag of silver, and go to the Clothes Bureau."

For the rest, she called Chun'e close and whispered, but no one could hear.

~~

Yan Shu had a delicious meal in Rouyi Hall, and her body was warmed up, and she didn't feel cold when she returned to Yongning Hall, so she got into bed and fell asleep after washing up.

In my dream, I dreamed about the New Year’s Eve dinner again, such as spicy hot pot, crispy roast pork, butter lobster, and flame-grilled fish, all of which I wanted to eat but couldn’t eat in my previous life.

Drooling all night, the next morning, when I was in a daze and didn't wake up, I heard a beep from the system.

[There was a new development yesterday. Xia Yihou heard that Linwuhou and his wife had broken up, and planned to regain their old dreams with Linwuhou's wife. 】

Um?

Yan Shu immediately regained her spirits, 【So the son belongs to Xia Yihou? 】

System, [No. 】

Yan Shu's eyes widened, 【Isn't it? Mrs. Linwuhou is really awesome! 】

System, [Don't worry about others, I have your melon today. 】

Yan Shu, 【My melon? What melon? 】

Before the system could speak, Liandong entered the room with the clothes in his hands, and said outside the tent, "Master, are you awake? The slave has just ironed the clothes for you, put them on while it's hot.

It is cold in winter, getting up from the bed in the morning is a difficult task, and putting on cold clothes is even more difficult, so in order to make her more comfortable, Lian Dong will iron her clothes in advance every day .

Yan Shu groaned, then sat up, and asked the system while picking up the clothes, 【What me? 】

System, [someone wants to harm you. 】

What?

As soon as the words fell, just as the clothes were in her hands, she sneezed and froze for a moment.

Someone wants to kill her?

The next moment, she sneezed again.

This startled Liandong, "Could it be that the master caught a cold? It must be that the quilt was missing last night, and this servant should give you an extra bed..."

"I'm afraid it's not a cold",

Yan Shu rubbed her nose and threw away the clothes in her hand, "The clothes must be stained with something."

Liandong was stunned, "Could it be peach pollen?"

Yan Shu is allergic to peach blossoms, once in contact with them will trigger various reactions, from sneezing and nasal congestion to rashes all over her body, and even difficulty breathing, it can be said to be quite serious.

Judging from her symptoms just now, it does seem that she has committed an old problem.

Thinking of this, Liandong hurriedly threw the clothes away, but said puzzled, "But it's winter now, and the peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet."

Yan Shu thought for a while, "Have those ones in Si Yuan's conservatory opened?"

Liandong suddenly realized, "That's right, there are all kinds of flowers in Siyuan's greenhouse!"

But it's so good, why does this peach pollen appear on the clothes that have just been washed?

Liandong sighed, "You don't even go out on weekdays, and you only know what to eat all day long, why are you still eye-catching?"

Yan Shu, "...that's what you say, as if I'm an idiot."

Lonicera, "... almost cough cough..."

Seeing Yan Shu's stare, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Speaking of who hates you so much, they can come up with such a bad idea!"

Yan Shu thought for a while, "Except for Zhang Cairen, probably no one in this palace knows me."

Liandong heard the words and thought carefully, "When the peach blossoms bloom in spring, you don't go out. It's not difficult to inquire about the peach blossom powder's dissatisfaction. From this point of view, could it be that Zhang Cai really did it? But why did she want to harm you?"

Yan Shu also couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that I ate too much last night and she wasn't full?"

Honeysuckle, "..."

What kind of weird motive is this, do you think everyone is like you?

"Maybe it's because she made a fuss at the banquet last night and wanted to take it out on you!" Liandong said angrily, "No matter what, I can't let you suffer in vain. Let's go to the Queen Mother to complain!"

Yan Shu suddenly sobered up and said, "Let's not talk about whether I can see the Queen Mother. At present, we are only speculating. There is no actual evidence to prove that it is her. She can completely deny it. Why should I ask the Queen Mother to believe it?"

Liandong paused, and said unwillingly, "Could it be that you are being dumbed for nothing? She is a talented person. With her natal family's wealth and connections, she can commit crimes and wanton harm! Is there any law in this palace!"

Alas, I feel sorry for her beautiful and good-natured master who never fights or grabs. Just because her mother's family is far away, her father's official position is more honest, and her family is poorer, she will be bullied in vain in the palace.

The world is really unfair!

Who would have thought that her master, who had never fought or snatched, suddenly smirked and said, "Who said we have to suffer from being dumb for nothing?"

Liandong was stunned, "Then what else can we do?"

"Come on," Yan Shu beckoned her to come over, "What are you doing..."

…

~~

At noon, Zhang Cairen was sipping tea leisurely when he saw Chun'e quickly stepping into the palace gate.

Seeing that there were no one else around, Chun'e said, "Cairen, the Palace of Yongning just invited the imperial doctor, and the medicine is being boiled right now, and there is a smell of medicine in the yard."

"Have you invited the imperial doctor?"

Zhang Cairen raised his eyebrows, "It seems quite serious, I wonder if she has rashes all over her face?"

Let's see how she is favored!

Chun'e hurriedly said, "This servant didn't ask, why don't you go and see?"

Zhang Cairen waved his hand contentedly, "Forget it, you won't see that ugly look if you go there. How can she have the face to face others?"

Chun'e nodded in agreement, "My servant heard Lian Dong say that this disease will not be cured easily in ten days and a half months, and she will not be able to play tricks in the future!"

That's what he wanted, Zhang Cairen nodded in satisfaction.

But I heard Chun'e say again, "By the way, I just heard something new."

"What's up?"

"I heard that something happened at Aunt Li's house!" Chun'e said.

"Auntie Li's residence?" Zhang Cairen was impatient, "Why are you making such a fuss? Who the **** is it?"

"It's Linwuhou Mansion!"

Chun'e said, "Concubine Li's aunt is Mrs. Linwuhou, so isn't Linwuhou's mansion her aunt's house?"

Zhang Cairen thought about it, and said again, "What happened?"

Chun'e hurriedly approached, "I heard that Marquis Linwu brought a concubine into the house a few days ago, and the madam made a fuss, but the servants in the mansion testified that Marquis Linwu had already had an affair with someone else, and that she was on good terms with each other." a lot of!"

"There is such a thing?"

Zhang Cairen's eyes widened.

Chun'e nodded vigorously, "A lot of people in the palace are talking about it, do you think this ugly story has been spread into the palace, can it be fake?"

"That's true!"

Zhang Cairen snorted, "It deserves it!"

If Concubine Li hadn't deliberately provoked trouble last night, she wouldn't have been so embarrassing.

Hmph, everyone in the capital doesn't know that Li Concubine's natal family has the name of Uncle Yongliang's house, but in fact she has no strength, and the whole family relies on the in-laws of the aunt's family. Now if the in-laws break up, she will be the one to look good on!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cairen instructed again, "Keep inquiring, and let me know if you have any news."

"Yes." Chun'e nodded hurriedly.

~~

At this time, in Yimei Hall, Concubine Li was fidgeting.

Seeing the little **** Zhang Bao approaching in a hurry, she hurriedly asked, "Have you found it? Where did the news come from?"

Zhang Baodao, "I found out that this was first said by a maid from the Linhua Palace when she went to Siyuan."

Linhua Hall?

The palace lady Luxiu said, "Isn't that the residence of Zhang Cairen?"

"Exactly," Zhang Bao also nodded, "I heard that this talent's natal family belongs to the Weaving Bureau of the Beijing Government, and they have offices everywhere in the palace, and they have many acquaintances."

"What a bitch!"

Concubine Li gritted her teeth, "I just told the truth yesterday, but she dared to take revenge, huh, she made up my aunt for nothing, and stained the innocence of Uncle Yongliang's mansion?"

Luxiu and Zhang Bao hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty, this is a big deal, and you must not let it go lightly!"

It's really audacious for a young talented person to dare to offend a concubine who is a few ranks higher than her!

Li Pin sneered, "Okay, isn't she fond of talking and singing? Just let her know how good I am!"

~~

For things like allergies, as long as the allergens are thrown away, it will return to normal after a while. So Yan Shu pretended to be sick on the surface, but actually she was still nesting in the palace eating Ma Ma Xiang.

Zhang Cairen was different.

First, he suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night and had a high fever. After taking two days of bitter medicine, he recovered, but his voice became hoarse and rough. His mouth looked like a big man with a beard, which was quite scary.

In terms of appearance, she was not outstanding in the harem, and the only thing she could rely on was her voice, but now her voice is ruined, she hates it.

Gritting her teeth and spending a lot of money, she finally found out some clues. It turned out that she was drugged by someone, and what the other party wanted was her voice.

She was out of breath for a while, so she wanted to complain in front of the Queen Mother. However, I don't know how many people in this palace are resenting the limelight she gave at the New Year's banquet, so naturally they will not make her wish come true...

~~

When Liandong came to report, Yan Shu was writing on the kang with a pen.

After Liandong finished speaking, she sighed maturely, "It's better to keep a low profile and save your life if you shoot the first bird!"

Liandong nodded vigorously, "Who told her to be the first to harm others, she deserves it!"

As he spoke, he asked curiously, "Master, what did you write?"

Yan Shu said, "I have nothing to do, let's try to write a chat book."

After eating so many melons, all of them were eye-catching with twists and turns, and she had nothing to say, so why not process it and write it into a script, maybe it will be published on the market one day, and she can make a lot of money.

After finishing speaking, she was about to draw up her pen, but she saw the little maid Lian Xin come in to report, "Master, the Empress Dowager ordered you to go to Ci'an Palace to speak."

The author has something to say:

A certain emperor: Why didn't you ask me to come out?

A certain author: Can't speak chapter.

A certain emperor: Bold!

A certain author: ? ? ? Want to ban another chapter?

A certain emperor: ...my mother.
