MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 65

Hearing what the emperor said, the queen mother nodded her head and said, "I see. Your majesty is wise, and the royal guards are becoming more and more capable."

Yan Shu hurriedly nodded beside her, "Your Majesty is right."

After speaking, he hurriedly bowed his head, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

Yu Wenlan glanced at her, and thought to herself that Jin Yiwei is getting more and more capable, she is the one.

On the surface, he could only say to the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager congratulates me."

He coughed and coughed again, and then asked, "How is the mother's health?"

— Tsk, since the goat milk incident, he was not feeling well, and the Queen Mother was also angry.

So the relationship between mother and child is somewhat... separated.

In the past few days, the Empress Dowager suffered from an old illness, and he came here once, but she knew that the Empress Dowager was not feeling well and was feeling uncomfortable, so she hurriedly told him to go back.

In the next few days, he was also afraid that the two sides would have trouble if they came here, so he never dared to come again.

Now it seems that it has been five or six days before the mother and son have seen each other.

Hearing what he said, the queen mother also paused, and then said, "Thanks to your majesty, Ai's family is much better today."

After the words fell, Yan Shu secretly tsk-tsk beside her, eating melons can cure all diseases! She knew it from the moment when the Empress Dowager asked Fu Hai to beat up that scumbag Ping Jinhou.

At that moment, the queen mother was so jealous, she was more energetic than a young man!

Of course, maybe the Empress Dowager's illness this time is actually a stagnation in her heart, and she took this opportunity to vent her anger, and the illness will be cured.

Yu Wenlan thought so too.

But before she could say anything, she heard the Empress Dowager snort to herself again, 【Stinky boy, you know how to care about Aijia! But it's better than those wolf-hearted men. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Could it be that in the Empress Dowager's heart, he has to be set off by those scumbags to look good?

This is really a bit scary, so he had no choice but to say again, "I have been busy these few days, and I have neglected to greet my mother, so I blame myself, and I hope my mother will forgive me."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Your Majesty speaks seriously, the people of the country are the top priority, not to mention there is Concubine Yi at Ai's house, she has worked hard these two days."

But he tutted in his heart, 【Speaking of it, women are more careful, so others say that daughters are cotton-padded jackets, they don't look like sons but only irritate people. Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

But Yan Shu, who was called out unexpectedly, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is serious, this is what a concubine should do."

After this turmoil, it was already dusk outside.

The queen mother said again, "Ai's family is much better today, you don't have to work so hard, go back and rest earlier."

As he spoke, he glanced at the emperor again, and said in his heart, 【Didn't you say it's already healed? You can't have another emperor's heir, right? 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

how is this possible!

Physician Jiang said he was fine!

He then also said, "Then don't disturb the queen's rest, I and Concubine Yi will leave first."

After speaking, he led Yan Shu out of the palace gate.

Hmph, let's go back to life!

~~

Needless to say, since the publication of the article "True and False Girls", there has been another wave of enthusiasm in the market.

Readers once again speculated about the identity of the protagonist.

Fortunately, within a few days, the court's circular cleared up everyone's confusion, and everyone knew that the story was actually about the Pingjin Houfu.

——Marquis Pingjin disregarded the love between husband and wife, let alone the etiquette and human relations, maliciously replaced the female concubine with the legitimate daughter, and abandoned the legitimate daughter in the countryside.

In addition, he also murdered the general of the imperial court with vicious intentions, so he was punished for both crimes, his title was revoked, he was punished for fifty years, and he was exiled to the border.

The title is inherited by his eldest son.

His concubine, Mrs. Qiao, was guilty of the same unforgivable crime because of harboring evil intentions, abusing the pro-daughter, and passing off the children born with others as the blood of the Marquis.

And Huo Huiying, a daughter from the Pingjin Hou Mansion who was revealed to the outside world, was praised by the queen mother for her pure heart, and she was specially granted the title of Guangde Township Lord and rewarded with a hundred acres of land.

His adoptive parents were also honored by the imperial court.

In addition, Mrs. Huo found a day to come to the door with her son and daughter in person, and presented a generous amount of silver to the Peng family couple to thank them for their kindness in nurturing Huiying.

However, the Peng family did not want to make a fortune in the name of their adopted daughter, so they insisted on declining.

Mrs. Huo was so moved that she had no choice but to buy a house not far from her home for the benefactor's family, and consider them as godly relatives, so that her daughter could spend time between the two families and not cut off the relationship with her adoptive parents.

As for the fake daughter Huo Yingxia who has been the daughter of the Huo family for more than ten years...

But he left the Hou Mansion overnight.

And it wasn't that she was kicked out, but she left without saying goodbye.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Shu was also surprised, and hurriedly asked the system, "What's going on? Where did the fake daughter go?"

But the system said, "Think about it, now the truth is out, Mrs. Huo's own daughter is back, this girl knows the bad things her own mother has done, can she stay in the Hou's mansion?" At first I cried for several days, but after crying, I figured it out, so I left a letter, saying that I was ashamed of my mother's upbringing, and even more ashamed of the real Miss Huo, so I decided to go out to make a living by myself. After I get rich, I will come back to repay the kindness of my adoptive mother. 】

Yan Shu, 【...This idea is good, but with her character, can she succeed in going out? 】

The system snorted, [People have to grow up, how do you know if it works if you don't go out and try it? 】

Yan Shu nodded, and then asked, 【What about Mrs. Huo? Seeing that she was reluctant to part with her adopted daughter that day, she was not in a hurry when her adopted daughter left suddenly? 】

System, [Of course I was anxious at the beginning, after all, the child was raised by her with no heart, and she was also worried about being cheated when she went out, but her sister-in-law persuaded her—although Huiying, the daughter-in-law, is pure-hearted, but You can't always ask others to be patient, and besides, Huo Yingxia is already being pointed out by the outside world. Instead of being charged as a wild species in the Huo family, it's better to go out and hide your name, which is better for her. 】

Yan Shu nodded, 【Madam General is a sensible person! 】

System, [No, Mrs. Huo became enlightened after hearing this, so she just sent someone to take a look at it quietly, and she was relieved when she saw that the girl was fine. 】

Yan Shu was still curious, [But Huo Yingxia, a girl who has been pampered for more than ten years, will find another way out? 】

The system, 【This girl has been well-clothed since she was a child, and it's not that she doesn't have special skills. She has a lot of research in dressing and rouge powder. After leaving the Hou Mansion, she found a rouge shop in the south of the Yangtze River as an apprentice. I plan to save some money to open a shop and become my own boss. 】

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows, 【Jiangnan, so far from the capital? 】

System, [Because it's close, I'm afraid there will be something to do with it, and the cousin she's thinking of is in the capital, since marriage is impossible now, it's better to stay far away, out of sight, out of mind, and at ease . 】

Yan Shu nodded, 【That's true, it seems that this girl also wants to understand. But then again, doesn't she have some business genes? After all, my father is a businessman. 】

The system, [Maybe, without tempering, how can you know what potential you have? But if she is willing to accept her fate, she can see the end. 】

Yan Shu sighed, 【That's right, if she stays in the Hou Mansion, she will be underestimated because of her background, and she won't be able to marry well, and I'm afraid she will be underestimated by her husband's family in the future... So, instead of being like this, it's better to be yourself Go out and fight. 】

In any case, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself.

~~

A few days later, Mrs. Huo led her daughter Huo Huiying into the palace again to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

His younger brother and daughter-in-law, Pang Zi, wife of General Dingyuan, accompanied him.

Yan Shu had the honor to accompany the Queen Mother to meet the three of them.

After a period of time, Mrs. Huo's complexion has improved a lot, and that Huiying girl is also much more cheerful than when she first met a few days ago, especially after dressing up, she looks almost the same as other noble girls.

It seems that this is the life after returning to mother's side, and the life is not bad.

Probably because she read too much Zhai Dou Wen in her previous life, Yan Shu was worried that she would lose herself in the vortex of rich people's Zhai Dou, but now it seems that she has not.

The system said, [That's overthinking, the five elder brothers in the Marquis's mansion were all born by their own mothers, and there are no cousins ​​or concubine sisters, who will fight with her? Uncle Jingcheng's family is also full of cousins, and these days none of her treasures came here. The last time when she wanted to go back to Pingjin to meet her relatives, the four older brothers came to the capital to pick them up in person, only her elder brother couldn't leave. Especially this girl has a calm temperament, and she is more liked by her sisters-in-law than the previous one. 】

Yan Shu felt relieved, and sighed, 【It seems that this Marquis of Pingjin Mansion is a good person except for that scumbag man from before! Of course, Mrs. Huo is open-minded and honest, how can the children she raises be worse? This is also her hard work. 】

The queen mother is also concerned about her cousin and niece these days. When she met her, she asked, "How is it with your mother these days?"

Huo Huiying replied with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. My mother has nothing to say about my courtier's daughter. Uncles, aunts and brothers also love my courtier's daughter very much. These days, my minister's daughter is living very well."

The conversation is also much more generous than before.

The queen mother nodded and said, "The misfortune has already happened. Fortunately, everything is over. You mother and daughter can get along well for a few years, so that you can make up for the separation in the past."

Mrs. Huo said with a smile, "My wife thinks the same way, I'm afraid it will delay her marriage."

After finishing the words, Huo Huiying hurriedly blushed and said, "My daughter just wants to stay with her mother and accompany you well."

The queen mother also laughed and said, "A good girl is still worried about not getting married?"

Mrs. Pang from the General's Mansion also laughed, "Don't listen to my sister's modesty, Empress Dowager. Huiying now has the title of Township Monarch. Those who want to marry these days will have to step through the threshold."

Mrs. Huo hurriedly thanked the queen mother again after hearing the words, "I still have to thank my mother for her kindness."

The queen mother looked serious and said, "The Ai family gave the title not to benefit those boys, but to appreciate Huiying's pure kindness. After your own marriage, you must be cautious in choosing Huiying's son-in-law. Don't just look at the man's appearance, those power and money are just passing by, they must be of solid character."

Hearing this, Yan Shu also nodded silently.

——In fact, when she bestowed the title of Xiangjun on this real daughter, she could see that the Queen Mother was not only comforting the **** the surface, but also gave her a title, and her waist was stronger. The experience of the farmers' parents growing up is too low self-esteem, and it is even more necessary to block the tongues of those troubled people.

Do you dislike being raised by farmers?

I'm sorry, but he is a country gentleman who owns his own land. Even if he never gets married for a lifetime, he is better than many canaries of men of honor.

So when it comes to picking a husband and son-in-law, don't be too impatient. Those men who flock to her may not really like her.

Mrs. Huo also understood what the Queen Mother meant, and hurriedly bowed her head and said, "What Your Majesty said is true."

The empress dowager asked Mrs. Pang again, "How is Anbang's leg now?"

Mrs. Pang hurriedly said, "Go back to your mother, the general is better now, and he will be able to get out of bed and walk around in about a month."

The queen mother nodded, but saw Mrs. Huo talking to her younger siblings again, "It's all my fault that I don't know people well, and I have troubled you."

Mrs. Pang laughed hurriedly, "How long has this matter been going on, and the culprit has already been exiled to the border, why should my sister blame herself?"

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that Mrs. Pang is a straightforward person.

System, [That's right, Mrs. Pang's parents have no sons, only she and her sister are two daughters. Although she was the eldest daughter since she was young, her temperament is more like that of the eldest son. Because of her beauty, she had countless suitors back then, even princes. The scholarly family is because of General Dingyuan's kindness and straightforwardness, so he married into this general's family. Although the couple have a civil and a military, they live a peaceful life. 】

Yan Shu understood, Xindao compared with Cheng'en Gong's mansion, the Queen Mother's aunts and relatives are not bad.

At this moment, the queen mother asked their aunts and sisters-in-law to say, "The Cheng'en government is just like that. Now the Ai family only expects you to raise your children and grandchildren and make contributions to the court."

The aunt and sister-in-law are busy.

~~

The affairs of the Marquis of Pingjin came to an end for the time being, and it was already June in the capital.

Although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, an important day that Yan Shu has been waiting for is getting closer.

— That is, Songhe Academy is about to reopen, and famous teachers and scholars from all over the world invited by the emperor are about to arrive in the capital.

Cough cough, this means that it is time for that mysterious former Zhongji Temple University scholar to finally show up.
