MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 8

This is really the first time ever, besides the former Zhang Cairen, Yongning Palace also has a new visitor.

Of course, Yan Shu knew that the visitor was not kind, but Wang Zhaoyi had a higher status than herself, so she could only stand up to greet her.

"I met Zhaoyi."

Wang Zhaoyi was not too polite. After entering the room, she sat down on the warm couch, and said uncertainly, "Why, did you hear someone mention me just now?"

This startled Lian Xin, and hurriedly looked at Yan Shu.

Yan Shu's complexion did not change, she said innocently, "No, just now we were talking about what to have for breakfast, and we didn't mention Zhaoyi."

Wang Zhaoyi gave her a hard look, and continued to speak in a strange manner, "I heard that Li Meiren has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and today I have learned a lesson."

Yan Shu pretended not to understand, and smiled heartlessly, "Zhaoyi praised me like that the first time she came back, I'm really embarrassed."

Seeing that she wasn't fooled, Wang Zhaoyi could only snort, "Just now when my people went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to get rouge, they ran into someone from your palace. What's the matter? I heard that your people have some complaints about me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at a maid who came with him, and said, "Cuiyan, come and see, is there that girl?"

Hearing this, Cui Yan immediately pointed to Lian Xin and said, "It's her. She didn't get the things, but when she saw that I got them, she muttered and said bad things about Zhaoyi."

Lian Xin shook her head in fright, "No, I just asked someone from the Internal Affairs Bureau why Wang Zhaoyi has rouge and our beauties don't..."

At the same time, the system began to flirt with Yanshu, 【Cuiyan has stolen a lot of Wang Zhaoyi's jewelry over the years, and even stole a red agate pendant two days ago, but falsely accused others. 】

Yan Shu understood, and reprimanded Lian Xin pretendingly, "You girl is always in a daze, so can I compare with Zhaoyi? Zhaoyi has a higher status than me, so if there is something good to do, we should be close to Zhaoyi first."

As he said that, he deliberately glanced at Cuiyan, and said to Lian Xin, "Whenever you can be like Miss Cuiyan, I will be relieved."

Wang Zhaoyi was waiting to find her fault, so she couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, and said, "What's wrong with Cuiyan?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Miss Cuiyan has a good life and is good at acting. It's so strange that people are so likable! I heard someone praise her at the Queen Mother's place a while ago!"

Oh, isn't it just for the Queen Mother to call her here, so she doesn't hide it anymore.

Sure enough, Wang Zhaoyi paused after hearing this, and said immediately, "Who praised her?"

Yan Shu's expression remained unchanged, "Chen Shanggong! When I went to Ci'an Palace yesterday, I happened to meet Chen Shanggong talking to the Queen Mother. Chen Shanggong said that Miss Cuiyan is the only one in the harem who is ice-snow and smart. , and also has a special filial piety, I heard that a while ago, I personally made a forehead mop to honor the Queen Mother, and a red agate was specially inlaid on the mop forehead, the color is really good."

After finishing speaking, Cui Yan was stunned.

Wang Zhaoyi was also taken aback, and looked at Cuiyan suspiciously.

Yan Shu followed the system to continue editing, "I heard that in the summer, I also made a set of soft pajamas to present to the Queen Mother. Even the Queen Mother praised the needlework."

Soft smoke?

Wang Zhaoyi gave another meal.

—Didn't she just lose a set of soft smoked clothes in summer, but it made her feel bad...

Yanshu smiled at Cuiyan again, "By the way, there are still a few cloud silk handkerchiefs, you gave them to Chen Shanggong too, she said that the flowers you embroidered on them are very good..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhaoyi turned around and gave Cuiyan a slap, cursing, "Okay, red agate? Soft smoke? And the cloud silk handkerchief? Are you taking all these things I lost? Still honoring the Queen Mother? What a girl! I didn't know you had such thoughts!"

Cuiyan was stupefied by the beating, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly covered her face and said, "Master, I don't have one, I really don't! This is all her nonsense!"

Yan Shu covered her mouth in surprise, "So Zhaoyi didn't know about this? Oh, it's my fault for talking too much! Don't hurt your feelings!"

Wang Zhaoyi slapped Cuiyan twice again, and gasped for several breaths, then said viciously to Yan Shu, "Take care of your people, and if you talk nonsense next time, I will be torn by the imperial concubine and empress." her mouth!"

After saying that, he grabbed Cuiyan's ear and left with a murderous look.

Yan Shu watched them leave.

When the room quieted down, both Liandong and Lianxin looked at Yanshu in surprise, "Is what you said just now true? Cuiyan is really so bold?"

Yan Shu twitched her mouth as if it had nothing to do with her, "It's not true, she'll find out when she goes back and check it? Remember to watch the fun."

The two hurriedly nodded and agreed, and couldn't help rubbing their hands in their hearts.

Who wouldn't want to watch the excitement!

But Yan Shu straightened her expression and told them, "Next time there is something like Rouge, don't fight or grab or talk too much, just come back quickly."

She has a low status and no backer, so she can only be unlucky for herself.

The two nodded quickly, "Yes."

Yan Shu said again, "Go and make me breakfast first, I'm starving to death."

This morning's busy work is completely useless. When she is full, she should hurry up and write a storybook. At least she can develop a skill or have multiple ways out.

Liandong should be busy, so he hurried to Shangshan Supervisor, and brought back breakfast after a while, there were silver pancakes, mutton siu mai, pumpkin porridge, and two side dishes.

When people are hungry, their appetite is good, and Yan Shu ate like a wind, and then devoted herself to the great cause of writing.

Ahem, after a few days of hard work, her debut novel "The Merry Man and the Pretty Woman" is about to be completed.

After concentrating for a long time, I don't know how long it took, but I saw Liandong coming into the room, with a look of hesitation, "Master..."

Yan Shu recovered from the pen and paper, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liandong said angrily, "The Internal Affairs Bureau also deducted our salary, saying that it happened to be finished today, and asked to pick it up in the next day. Could it be that we will freeze to death in these two days?"

Yan Shu understood, thought for a while and said, "There is still some stock in stock, I will share it with you, and besides, the sun is good during the day, so you can save some charcoal."

Liandong pouted, "What about that night?"

Yan Shu rolled her eyes, "At night...let's talk about it."

Tsk, that person has been here for two consecutive days, is he coming again tonight?

~~

At night, Qianming Palace is brightly lit.

In the imperial study room, the king was reading the memorial in front of the imperial case, and several ministers, including the envoy Du Yushi, were waiting respectfully aside.

After browsing through the booklet, Yu Wenlan was about to reach out for a pen to give instructions, and happened to reveal the bandaged side of the palm.

Several ministers paused, and immediately stepped forward to ask—

"What happened to His Majesty's hand? Could it be injured?"

"Has your majesty passed on the imperial physician? How is the injury?"

"How did His Majesty get hurt?"

Yu Wenlan said casually, "I accidentally cut it while practicing the sword this morning, it's okay."

As he spoke, he quickly wrote down a few strokes, and handed over the notes to everyone, "Go on."

All the ministers should be, and retreated one after another holding their own papers, and the hall finally became quiet.

Fu Hai, the former imperial eunuch, pondered in his heart, 【Hey, I don't know which beauty bit her, but His Majesty kept it from her, it seems that the weight is not light. 】

Yu Wenlan glanced at him, "You go down too."

Turning around, he passed another little eunuch, Fu Bao, and asked, "How is Yongning Palace today?"

Fu Bao said honestly, "Your Majesty, Li Meiren did not leave the palace as usual, but for some reason, the Internal Affairs Bureau confiscated Li Meiren's rouge, gouache, and firewood. By the way, Wang Zhaoyi brought people over today, too. I don't know what I said to Li Meiren, but I was very angry when I left."

Yu Wenlan grasped the point accurately, frowned and said, "Why do you want to withhold money? Who did it?"

Fu Bao said, "It seems that the imperial concubine sent the decree to the Inner Palace. As for why, I don't know."

What a noble concubine Zhou, does this mean that the imperial palace belongs to her Zhou family?

Yu Wenlan asked again, "Then how did she deal with it?"

Fu Bao said, "Li Meiren just ordered to share her charcoal with those of the palace people, and she didn't make any noise."

Yu Wenlan raised her eyebrows, why are you being so honest again?

~~

Without some fuel, it was indeed a bit cold.

In the dead of night, Yan Shu was wearing thick pajamas and curled up under the quilt thinking, will the emperor come tonight?

There was no movement all day today, so he probably didn't intend to punish her, right?

Will you be angry because of what happened yesterday and stop coming?

What about the firewood?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, he heard the door of the room being gently pushed open, and there was another sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Her heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly raised the curtain to look, and she saw that person.

Hastily got out of bed and saluted, "The concubine welcomes His Majesty."

Yu Wenlan was dressed in a black brocade robe, and she didn't wear a crown on her hair, which made her look much softer.

Looking down at her, he said without revealing his anger, "Yesterday I was so bold, and today I am acting like this again."

Yan Shu had a cheeky face, "Chen Qie has been panicking since last night, um... are your hands better?"

Yu Wenlan hummed, and sneezed without waiting to speak.

Well, it does seem a little cold in here.

However, immediately after, I heard Lonicera's voice from outside, "Master? What... is that voice?"

Yan Shu looked at Yu Wenlan, and hurriedly said, "It's me, I sneezed."

Liandong hurriedly said, "This servant will give you an extra quilt."

After finishing speaking, Yan Shu could not refuse, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

Yan Shu was taken aback, she said it too late, but she saw Yu Wenlan dodge and go to the bed curtain.

But outside the door, someone rolled his eyes and hurried to report.

In the room, Lian Dong quickly took out a quilt from the closet, and was about to spread it for Yan Shu, but Yan Shu snatched it over, "I can make it myself, it's midnight, you should go to bed quickly. "

Liandong sighed, "My servant knew you were going to catch a cold, didn't it just because His Majesty said a few words to you, how can these people be worse than wolves! In this cold weather, the firewood is cut off, and they want to freeze you to death! This servant will go and kill you!" Bring the charcoal basin in our room."

Yan Shu quickly shook her head, "No, if you get sick from the cold, who will take care of me? I'm fine, go to sleep."

Liandong had no choice but to say yes and leave first.

The room was quiet, someone lifted the bed curtain and sat down beside the bed.

Yan Shu leaned forward with the quilt in her arms, and said cautiously flatteringly, "Why don't you put on the quilt, Your Majesty, it's cold in this room, don't freeze you."

To be honest, it is indeed a little cold in this room, and it cannot be compared with Qianming Palace where the earth dragon was born.

As for the reason, of course Yu Wenlan already understood.

He took the quilt and said, "Someone withheld your salary, why didn't you report it to me?"

Yan Shu thought to herself, isn't it because of you that I withheld my salary? Good guy, can I afford to offend those people?

Besides, in her position, she was eaten before she saw him, so she might as well ask him to experience it by herself now.

But he pretended to be stupid and said, "The Internal Affairs Bureau only said that there is no charcoal for a while, and it will come later in the day, and the concubine will wait a few days."

Yu Wenlan was too lazy to poke her, and was about to open her mouth again, but heard another commotion outside the door.

It seemed that someone was about to rush into the palace, and a woman raised her voice, "Li Meiren, who is up so late, who are you talking to?"

The author has something to say:

Welcome to watch the scene where a certain emperor and his daughter-in-law were arrested. Tickets are sold in the front row. Please bring your own melon seeds, peanuts, Erguotou duck neck, otherwise you will not be responsible for watching others eat and cry.
