MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 49

What? This is Mrs. Mu's own flesh and blood?

Hearing what the system said, Yan Shu immediately mobilized all the gossip nerves in her body, and asked, 【What's going on? Didn't her late husband die fifteen years ago? How could there be a thirteen-year-old daughter? With whom? 】

System, [You are right. Fifteen years ago, the former Zhenhai Hou Yingnian died young. His son was only ten years old at the time. Mrs. Mu was a widow supporting the Hou family. , is still very difficult. At that time, the old Marquis of Zhenhai had a lieutenant named Zong Xinghai, who handled Mrs. Mu's various affairs, and was very loyal and loyal. 】

【This young man was only in his twenties at the time, at the age full of enthusiasm. Mrs. Mu suddenly lost her support at that time, and it was also at a time when she was vulnerable, so she trusted him very much. In a few years, after coming and going, the two gradually developed feelings for each other. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu's eyes lit up, 【Could it be that the two of you have crossed the threshold? This little girl was born? 】

System, [It's almost the same, on a dark and stormy night, both of them drank a little wine, so something happened uncontrollably, only this time, Mrs. Mu became pregnant. 】

Yan Shu couldn't help but tsk tsk, [I hit once, it seems that Vice General Zong is very accurate! 】

The system snorted, [You are young after all, and the quality is pretty good. Of course it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Mrs. Mu is a widow, and she has to support her son as a prince, so she couldn't give birth to the child in a fair manner, so she used the excuse of being sick and went to the countryside to recuperate for a while, and when the time came When it was ripe, he found an excuse to bring the child back from outside and raise him as a foster daughter. 】

Yan Shu couldn't help but tsk tsk, isn't this another version of the general and widow she wrote, and it's still young, so exciting!

Then quietly took a look at Mrs. Mu, and saw that her facial features were very delicate, even at this age, she didn't dress up much, she was pretty, one could imagine her appearance when she was young.

Such a mature woman, Yu Jie, the little wolf dog can't resist the charm, and it is understandable to have a fantasy.

But there are still problems, so she asked again, 【Where is the deputy general of Zong now? You can't still be a lieutenant general in the mansion, right? Could it be that the two have secretly engaged in an underground love affair for more than ten years? 】

But the system said, 【Since that night, Zong Xinghai felt ashamed of the Marquis of Zhenhai, so he asked for orders to go to the front line to guard the coastal defense. For more than ten years, he punished himself by the wind and the sun. 】

Yanshu, "..."

Wait, does he know that he already has a child?

System, [I don't know. 】

Yanshu, "..."

So after a long time of trouble, Mrs. Mu has worked so hard to raise the child, and that man still doesn't know anything?

System, [Zong Xinghai has actually been guarding the Zhenhaihou Mansion secretly all these years, and he also knows that Mrs. Mu adopted a baby girl and raised it all the way, but he doesn't know that it is his own child. 】

Yanshu, "..."

This is what she can say.

—It sounds quite infatuated, but it's a pity that it's too stupid.

These two people didn't have an affair when the old Zhen Haihou was still alive, and the relationship happened after his death. Why did this person torture himself so much?

But having said that, this era has brought too many shackles to women.

In later generations, it would not be a problem for a woman to be widowed and remarry. However, if Mrs. Mu really did that, she would definitely lose her status as the mistress of the Hou Mansion.

So, this is the only way for the two of them.

But having said that, Mrs. Mu is still stronger than the Queen Mother. After all, she and the little wolf dog have tasted the forbidden fruit, and there are two flesh and blood by her side, so life is not lonely.

So she asked again, 【Does the Empress Dowager know about this? 】

System, [Aside from Mrs. Mu herself and her close maid, you are the first to know. 】

Yan Shu then understood that the Queen Mother, a good best friend, was also kept in the dark.

Of course, after all, one more person means more risk. Naturally, the fewer people know about this, the better.

Just as she was thinking this way, she heard the Queen Mother say to her and Concubine Zhou, "Aijia has a few words with Mrs. Mu, you go back and have a rest."

Yan Shu understood that this was a whisper between her girlfriends, so she knew what was going on, so she got up and went out of the palace with Concubine Zhou.

Speaking of which, Concubine Zhou has ignored her for a long time.

This time, the well water did not interfere with the river water, but I didn't know that I didn't walk a few steps, but I saw Concubine Zhou suddenly paused and said to her, "You probably don't know it, Yipin, I have been with the Queen Mother for so long, and just now Miss Ni, she is the girl that the Queen Mother likes the most that I have ever seen."

Yan Shu immediately heard that Concubine Zhou wanted to stimulate her.

She nodded quickly and said, "The concubine also thinks that Miss Ni is smart, so the queen mother will naturally like it. But empress, don't be too modest, after all, you are a real niece, and the empress dowager must like you the most."

Hehe, blood is thicker than water, and even this woman can't bear the blood!

What does it mean to play a good hand of cards poorly? The only one in the world is Concubine Zhou.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Concubine Zhou's complexion immediately changed.

But after holding back, Concubine Zhou smiled at her eccentrically, "Look at me, just now the queen mother said that she wanted to keep this girl, it doesn't seem like a joke, look at that little girl is a beauty, I'm afraid I'll wait two more Years, you can't compare."

Yan Shu hurriedly smiled again, "Your Majesty is serious, concubines are mediocre, how can you compare with Miss Ni? But it is a good thing if Miss Ni can stay. In the past, Your Majesty often came to chat with the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, but now you also I won’t come, if Miss Ni will accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, the Queen Mother will be very happy."

Concubine Zhou choked for a while, and her face became more and more ugly.

However, I couldn't find her fault, so I could only sneer, "You are really an exquisite person."

Yan Shu laughed again, "Your Majesty is too much, the concubines are less than one ten-thousandth of that of your Majesty."

While speaking, she had already walked outside Ci'an Palace, she saluted again and said, "Concubine, I will leave."

Then he hurried back to Ganlu Hall.

—Tsk, bickering like this is a waste of time, she might as well hurry back and write a storybook!

As they walked along the road, they brewed, and when they returned to Ganlu Hall, a lingering love story had already taken shape, and Yan Shu immediately began to write.

— Tsk, there's no shocking gossip, and there's no shameless gossip, just the mature and charming Yujie, and the hot-blooded little wolf dog, which is also very exciting.

~~

Yan Shu was full of passion and wrote until dark.

It's just that before I finished writing, there was a communication voice outside the door - "Your Majesty is here..."

She froze for a moment, and quickly recovered from the story. Before she got up, she deliberately closed the manuscript, and then came to the gate of the hall to salute.

"The concubine sees His Majesty."

However, the sharp-eyed king had already seen the scene just now.

"Get up."

Yu Wenlan remained calm, first gave her a little support, and tried to ask, "Did you write a script again today?"

Yan Shu hummed, and faltered, "I wrote it, but I haven't finished it yet."

Yu Wenlan raised her eyebrows, why are you still covering it up?

Then he asked again, "What is the story, can you tell me first and listen to it?"

Seeing her thinking for a while, she said, "...can my concubine say no?"

Yu Wenlan was taken aback, "Why not?"

—Could it be written in color again?

But now, except for the last step, the two have become intimate. Colored ones...he can see them too, cough.

But I heard her say, "Because of this story, the concubine is not going to publish it yet."

She just wanted to write a story, but the time has not yet come. If it affects the reputation of the lady and causes some bad influence, it will be bad.

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan became more and more curious—

"About the lady's reputation?"

Which lady is it?

Could it be another story like Lin Wuhou's ex-wife?

However, the heart of gossip has been aroused, which makes people really curious, so he said, "I'm not an outsider, if you don't want to post it, I won't tell others."

But seeing her think for a while, she said again, "Empty words have no basis, what if your majesty slips up one day?"

Yu Wenlan, "..."

He simply untied the auspicious cloud jade pendant from his waist, handed it to her and said, "I will give this to you, if I make a mistake someday, this will belong to you."

Yanshu, "..."

This person is also very hard to eat melons, even the Xiangyun jade pendant can be used casually?

But... She is not losing money after all, this jade pendant is not worth a thousand taels of silver?

Besides, anyway, he doesn't know who is in the story hehe.

So she stretched out her hand to take it, and said with a smile, "Since Your Majesty is so sincere, the concubine will tell you that you have listened, but you must promise not to say anything."

Yu Wenlan nodded, "Definitely."

I know that there is no problem with her that money can't solve,

Then I heard her begin to say, "It is said that there was an intelligent and dignified woman who used to be a husband and a child, and her life was quite satisfactory. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, her husband died unexpectedly one day, and she became a widow very unfortunately. At this time, a former friend of the husband reached out to her to help her solve her problems and help her through the most difficult moment at the beginning."

"This madam is very grateful, but she doesn't know how to repay. By chance, she found that the other party was calling her name while drunk. Only then did she know that the other party actually has deep-rooted affection for her."

— Listening to this, Yu Wenlan raised her eyebrows secretly. It turned out to be a story about a gentleman and his friend's wife.

Tsk, don't say it, it's quite attractive.

It's just that he didn't recognize who it was.

He then said, "Then, is this madam also attracted to this young master?"

But she nodded and said, "Naturally, this son is young and handsome, with a good heart, especially when Madam needs help the most. Since she knew the other party's feelings, Madam's feelings for him have gradually changed. It’s just because of the secular vision, it can only be hidden in the heart.”

"However, things like love tend to become more ferocious the more depressed they are. One day, the young master and his wife accidentally crossed the threshold after being drunk, and they lingered for a whole night. However, after waking up the next day, the young master But I felt sorry for that good friend who passed away, and I was afraid of causing trouble to my wife, so I left without saying goodbye."

Um?

This made Yu Wenlan a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What about after that?"

Yan Shu said, "Afterwards, this madam suddenly became pregnant, so she had to give birth to the child alone and bring it up, but the young master who felt ashamed of being a good friend didn't even know about it."

Yu Wenlan immediately raised her eyebrows, "I don't know? There are such irresponsible people in the world?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu nodded secretly in her heart, it seemed that his three views were quite upright.

Hearing the words, Yu Wenlan also thought to herself, what are... three passes?

Why do you say he is upright?

Did you mean to praise him?

From her tone just now, it should be.

He silently nodded and asked again, "Then what's next?"

But Yan Shu said, "Then, naturally, the heroine raised their children alone, and then found a husband who cared for her and remarried."

"Remarry?"

Yu Wenlan was taken aback, "Then what about the son from before?"

But she said, "Such a stubborn and irresponsible person should regret it for the rest of his life."

Yu Wenlan, "..."

"Although there is some truth, but all the way I heard it, I always thought that they would still be together...Can you give him a chance?"

But seeing her think for a while, she said, "Well, for the sake of him being unmarried and silently guarding his wife, we can give him a chance. But we have to pay some price to make up for the fact that he ran away by himself. Mrs. gave birth to the child and brought it up with difficulty, let him suffer a thousand and eight hundred times before talking about it."

Yu Wenlan raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, "Is this the case?"

Yan Shu nodded with a mature expression, "This is called Chasing Wife Crematorium, and many readers like it."

Um?

Yu Wenlan became more and more confused, so, "What is... a crematorium?"

Yanshu, "..."

Well, I forgot that cremation is not practiced in this day and age.

She had no choice but to explain to him patiently, "The original meaning of this word is that in a place, after death, the body needs to be incinerated into ashes before being buried. The place where the incineration is done is the crematorium."

After the words fell, Yu Wenlan was even more surprised, "There is such a place? I have never heard of it... Where is this place?

Yanshu, "..."

The more you explain, the more troublesome it becomes.

She had no choice but to say perfunctorily, "It's just far away... Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as your majesty understands what the concubine means."

As she spoke, she concluded earnestly, "In short, as the leading actor in a story that mainly focuses on romance, he must not have any shortcomings, otherwise he will be scolded to death, even me."

Yu Wenlan, "...how could this be?"

Yan Shu nodded with an aggrieved face, "Isn't it? It's not easy for a storybook writer to earn some money."

— Not only will you be scolded, but there is no copyright awareness at this time, and there are countless people who secretly copy and resell them. Most of the hard-working words written by the writers are not enough to maintain three meals a day, which is still very hard the woo...

Yu Wenlan who was listening silently, "..."

I could only comfort her, "If it's really hard, then don't write."

But she immediately shook her head and said, "No, I finally found my interest. How can I give up because of such a trivial matter? As long as there is one person to read, I will keep writing."

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan suddenly smiled and said, "If there is only one person watching, it must be me."

Well, he was her first reader, and he would be her last.

After the words fell, Yan Shu paused, and then smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

[That's right, even if there is only this one left, selling him one hundred and fifty taels for a chapter book is still very profitable! ! 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

~~

After Mrs. Zhenhai Hou entered Beijing, two days later, it finally came to the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival.

Although the Empress Dowager specifically asked not to waste people and money, she couldn't stop the king's filial piety, so she specially ordered Taichang Guanglu Temple to organize a grand birthday banquet in the palace.

Today's etiquette was complicated, Yan Shu got up early in the morning, dressed and changed, and then went to Ci'an Palace.

After arriving at the place, I saluted the queen mother, and the emperor also arrived.

But I saw him wearing a vermilion dragon suit, black hair in a high bun, and a golden crown on his head. He looked festive and handsome, very seductive.

—Actually, the two were together last night and only separated when changing clothes.

But within an hour, Yan Shu's eyes lighted up.

At this time, all the people in the hall shouted Long live and knelt down to salute, Yu Wenlan said in a harmonious voice, and took a look at Yan Shu, with a hint of a smile in his majestic face.

Well, in just an hour, she changed from a sleepy little girl with disheveled hair to such a bright and dignified appearance.

He was pleasing to the eye, but she heard her tsk tsk in her heart, [Look at being so serious now, who would have imagined how he pestered people last night, his hands were almost useless. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Can't help but some ears are stained red.

These days...she has really worked **** her...hands.

But bear with it for another five days, and it will be fine.

Realizing that he was thinking far away, he hurriedly collected his thoughts, and first saluted the queen mother on the couch solemnly, "I lead the people in the world, I wish the queen mother good health, long-lasting blessings, and long live forever."

After the words fell, all the people in the hall knelt down to salute him, and shouted, "I wish the Queen Mother good health, long-lasting blessings, and long live forever."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a heart, and the Ai family is very relieved. Get up."

Everyone should be, and they followed the emperor and stood up one after another.

After a while, the guests who entered the palace to pay their respects have arrived one after another.

Yan Shu then followed the Queen Mother and the Emperor to meet at Ci'an Palace.

Those who enter the palace today are nothing more than the royal family and nobles in the court, especially the empress dowager's veterans.

The first ones to enter the palace were Guangyang Hou's family.

The Queen Mother hadn't seen Guangyang Hou for a while, but seeing his thin body, she couldn't help but wondered, "How did Guangyang Hou lose so much? Could it be that he is not feeling well?"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Guangyang, who was in his fifties, hurriedly said, "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern. It's probably because the weather is hot these days, and I don't have much appetite, so I reduced my appetite a little. There is no possibility. Please rest assured, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother just nodded.

Yan Shu secretly tsk-tsk, this pica has become more and more serious recently, and she has been eating rice paper secretly in the study all day long, and people are not earthworms, they cannot absorb nutrition from the rice paper, so of course they have lost weight.

Yu Wenlan, "..."

He almost forgot about this rice paper lover...

Geez, it's unbelievable how it tastes.

He really couldn't bear it, so he also said, "If Guangyang Hou feels uncomfortable, you must seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and don't hide your illness from the doctor.

However, Marquis Guangyang didn't hear the meaning of the reminder, and only responded with a flattered look on his face. He cheered in his heart, 【Your Majesty actually cares about me specially? It seems that His Majesty values ​​me quite a lot! ! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Forget it, why not find a way to mention his family one day.

Thinking so, he saw the eldest princess and her son-in-law arrived, followed by her son, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

The Eldest Princess is the late Emperor's sister, the eldest aunt of the Empress Dowager. At this time, she led a large group of people to salute the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also said politely, "Elder Sister, you are welcome, please sit down."

Yan Shu's attention is on her daughter Ankang County Lord and son-in-law Yao Junliang.

She has met the head of Ankang county a few times, but today is the first time she sees her husband. At this time, she quietly took a look at him, and saw that this Yao county horse was completely different from Zhao Chengwen, the son-in-law of the eldest princess. A strong man with godly eyes.

It is heard that he was a martial arts Tanhualang back then, and now he is also serving as a commander in the Jingwei Office, he is quite capable.

Yan Shu was tsk tsk in her heart at this moment, the county magi probably didn't know about Ankang county lord going to Ruyifang, right? If he knew, wouldn't he be able to overthrow Ruyifang just because of his tendons?

The system, [Yes, he doesn't know yet. These few days the Jingwei Station changed defenses, and he was so busy that he couldn't go home for several days. 】

Yan Shu, 【...It sounds a bit pitiful, but having said that, this county horse looks pretty good. I heard that there are no concubines in the mansion. How could the Ankang County Lord go to Ruyifang? 】

System, [Some men appear to be normal, but actually get up several times a night. The county horse accidentally fell off his horse during a martial arts performance last year, and fell there. Although it is not a serious problem, he is somewhat not confident. Going to Ruyifang is only a matter of two days. At present, it is just an eye addiction, and I haven't done anything serious yet. 】

Yan Shu, 【...so the county lord hasn't really done it yet? It seems that the couple still have feelings for each other. After all, the county ma should go to Doctor Jiang as soon as possible! People who can be cured even by the emperor are just side dishes. 】

Yu Wenlan, who was listening silently, "..."

Why did you mention him all of a sudden?

He's been recovering for days...can you stop bringing up the past.

But having said that, it turned out that Yao Junliang was injured last year...

Considering that he is a talent and loyal to the imperial court, he should really be recommended to Jiang Nianqi to have a look.

…

Just as he was thinking, he saw the eldest princess Yu Wenyan arrived.

Beside her is her daughter, five-year-old Lan Yun.

The little girl was born fair and beautiful, innocent and lovely since she was a child.

Regardless of his parents, Yu Wenlan, as an uncle, still loves this niece very much.

However, at this moment, the little girl's eyes were red, with teardrops hanging from her eyelashes, she entered the palace, her eyes looked around timidly, she was not as lively as before.

Before Yu Wenlan could speak, the queen mother asked, "What's wrong with Lan Yun?"

But Yu Wenyan said impatiently, "My mother doesn't know something, this girl has become more and more difficult to manage recently, just got out of the carriage, and clamored for her gadgets, it's really annoying, so my son scolded her." She said a few words. So unreasonable, she looks more and more like the Zhao family."

The Empress Dowager scolded, "Don't mention such things in the future! The children's temperament is unstable, and recently there has been a sudden change, and there are occasional crying. As a mother, how can you be so impatient?"

As he spoke, he waved to the little girl, "Come on, Lan Yun comes to Ai's house."

Hearing this, the little girl timidly glanced at her mother and saw that she had no objection, so she dared to agree and went to the Queen Mother's side.

The queen mother gave the little man a piece of cake, but the little man ate it obediently, without crying.

Yu Wenlan saw it, and said to Yu Wenyan, "Lan Yun is the eldest sister's child, no matter what his father is, it has nothing to do with her, the elder sister should understand this truth."

Yu Wenyan answered yes, but said unwillingly, "Your Majesty thinks that I have a hard heart? It's really because this girl has been crying a lot lately. Why isn't my mind exhausted?"

Yan Shu listened silently, tsk tsk in her heart, it is normal for the child to be unaccustomed to crying because he suddenly lost his father, but the princess mansion has no shortage of nurses and maids, the eldest princess didn't take care of the children very much before, how can she be distracted all of a sudden? Are you tired?

Cough cough, could it be that he was hollowed out by that handsome man?

The system, [It's almost the same, the reputation of being the most handsome man didn't come out of thin air after all. However, the eldest princess did not lie, she has suffered from soft feelings these past few days, and she is indeed physically and mentally exhausted. 】

Yan Shu was taken aback, [? ? ? What is Ruanqingsan? 】

The system, [is a drug similar to a drug. 】
