My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons - Chapter 107
Since even the king had spoken, Qi Shuguang had no choice but to say yes, and sat down in the pavilion.
It’s just that Yu Wenlan thought that he could escape, but the moment Qi Shuguang sat down, Yan Shu’s scream came from his ears——
【Ahhh, the idol sits down! He is at the same table as the boss! They drank tea together! ! 】
However, after screaming, it was sad again, crying in my heart, [Woohoo, they are too difficult! Is today the first time in my life that I’m sitting at the same table, it’s so distressing…]
Yu Wenlan, “…”
How can you think so much in your mind?
Tsk, wouldn’t it be good to be so emotionally ups and downs?
Fortunately, after a while, Yanshu finally calmed down, seeing the maid brought tea for Qi Shuguang, she hurriedly said, “By the way, didn’t I bring some snacks today, why don’t you take them out and try them together.”
The maidservants should be, so they took out the food boxes and put several snacks on the stone table in the pavilion one by one, including Chongyang cake, chestnut cake, lotus seed cake, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, etc., which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Especially the Double Ninth Cake, which is steamed with glutinous rice flour, mixed with red beans, preserved fruits, etc. It looks white, glutinous and sweet, not to mention very attractive.
Especially… ahem, these dim sums come from the dim sum room of Ci’an Palace, outsiders can’t buy them even if they have money.
Yan Shu said, “Today is the Double Ninth Festival, we must eat the Double Ninth Cake, everyone should try it.”
Cough, the main reason is that her idol Mr. Qi must not be polite, it’s a rare opportunity!
But after the words fell, the emperor and the queen mother both picked up the Double Ninth Cake, but Mr. Qi still didn’t dare to move.
Yan Shu felt a little regretful, but she couldn’t speak anymore.
Fortunately, at this time, her handsome queen mother said again, “I made this Double Ninth Cake myself, sir, don’t you want to give it a try?”
Yan Shu, 【What! ! Did the Empress Dowager do it herself? ? ? Mr. Qi can’t miss it! ! 】
Immediately afterwards, seeing Mr. Qi paused again, he had no choice but to say, “Ma’am, you are serious, how dare I?”
But the Empress Dowager smiled under the hood and said, “Since we are sitting at the same table, we all eat but you don’t. What does it look like? Don’t be too polite.”
Yan Shu, 【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! How reasonable this is! Mr. Qi, don’t be too polite! ! 】
After finishing the sentence, seeing her idol Mr. Qi had no choice but to say yes, and also picked up a piece of Double Ninth Cake, and ate it with the three of them.
Yan Shu was finally relieved, and then carefully tasted the Double Ninth Cake.
Yu Wenlan’s ears were also quiet, and he was finally able to taste the pastry.
But before she could swallow it down, she heard Yan Shu flattering the Queen Mother, “This cake is dense and soft, sweet but not greasy. The addition of red beans and preserved fruits is also just right. Madam’s craftsmanship is also great!”
The Queen Mother laughed and said, “You girl is used to coaxing people!”
Yan Shu said with a cheeky face, “Where is it, I can always speak out from the bottom of my heart, otherwise I would ask the lord if this cake is particularly delicious?”
Yu Wenlan, who was caught off guard by being named, “…”
I can shoot by myself, but should I ask him to shoot with me?
But the names were all called out, so he could only say, “It’s really good, mother’s craftsmanship has always been very good.”
After finishing speaking, she couldn’t help thinking in her heart, the Queen Mother actually made this Double Ninth Cake with her own hands, could it be for Qi Shuguang to eat?
But after thinking about it, she didn’t know that she would meet today, and it seemed that she didn’t.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but test Qi Shuguang’s heart, but he heard the other party sigh silently, 【The cake is delicious, it’s rare for her to make it with her own hands. It’s probably for your majesty, right? Now that the mother is kind and the son is filial, it is not in vain for the hardships experienced back then. 】
Yu Wenlan raised an eyebrow secretly.
Well, he admitted, he had never heard anything crooked in this man’s heart.
Of course, he is not the only one who can hear Qi Shuguang’s thoughts now, and Yan Shu’s heartfelt voice is also heard in his ears, [Wuuuuu, the idol has always been thinking about the Queen Mother, sighing for the Queen Mother, and the second one in the world like this good man? ? ? 】
Yu Wenlan, “…”
Could he not be called a good man?
Why does he have to sit in the back row every time he competes with Qi Shuguang?
Perhaps because of the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, he asked Qi Shuguang, “Why did Mr. come to Dangui Mountain today?”
But Qi Shuguang hurriedly said, “Xiaoren Township has always had the custom of climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival. I heard that Dangui Mountain is not high, so I wanted to come and see it.”
After the voice fell, Yu Wenlan didn’t hear any other thoughts in his heart.
Instead, Yan Shu hummed softly, 【How dare you ask my idol like that! ! Did they come to meet the Queen Mother on purpose? ! My idol is also a middle-aged man in his forties, hehe, can’t he climb a tall mountain because he can’t climb it, so he has to climb a short one, hehehe…]
Yu Wenlan, “…”
He was just asking, as for being so angry…
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother sighed, 【He is not young anymore, he is probably just like me, his legs and feet are not very good. 】
Yu Wenlan, “…”
Well, indeed, just like the Queen Mother, Qi Shuguang is indeed not young anymore, and it is true that the nearby mountains may not be able to climb up.
But not to mention, time passed quickly, especially remembering that when he was serving in the imperial court, it was the time when he was in high spirits.
I didn’t expect to see you in a blink of an eye. It has been so many years.
Yu Wenlan didn’t say anything, just took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it.
After a couple of sips, he found it to be good, and passed another piece to Yan Shu, saying, “Try this, it’s delicious.”
Yan Shu took it and took a sip, and immediately flattered the Queen Mother, “Madam made this too, right? It’s very crispy, and it smells like sweet-scented osmanthus!”
The queen mother laughed again, “Then you are praising the wrong person, this is made by the dessert room.”
However, seeing Yan Shu’s face not changing, her heart was not beating, and she continued to flatter her cheeks, “Aren’t you the one who adjusted and taught the dim sum room yourself? How can it be compared to other places?”
The Queen Mother laughed again.
Even Qi Shuguang on the side couldn’t help showing some smiles.
Yu Wenlan, “…”
Well, it turns out that this is how the Queen Mother likes her.
But seeing the Empress Dowager is so happy, today is not in vain, it’s okay.
~~
Seeing a few people chatting and laughing, it was already time for two cups of tea.
It seems that there are not many tourists going up the mountain, and there are few people in the courtyard.
Yu Wenlan was thinking about whether it was time to start down the mountain, but suddenly several people came into sight.
The leader is about a mother and son, the son is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the mother is probably not yet forty, followed by a servant and a maid.
The strange thing is, looking at the demeanor and demeanor of the mother and son, it seems that they do not come from a small family, but the clothes on their bodies are not as conspicuous as those of a large family.
Moreover, they all had a dusty smell on their bodies.
Yu Wenlan couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
At this moment, the young man said, “Mother, take a rest.”
The accent doesn’t sound like it’s from the capital.
After speaking, he looked around and saw someone in the court, so he pulled his mother to sit on the stone pier beside him.
The maid then untied the burden on her shoulders, took out the water bag, and seemed to serve the two of them to drink water. Unexpectedly, after taking out the water bag, she took out two bamboo cups from the bag.
Before pouring the water into the cup, he deliberately poured out a little water first, rinsed the cup, and then officially poured the water into it, and served it to the mother and child to drink.
Such a posture…
Yu Wenlan raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.
Of course, there were few people in the courtyard at this time, and other than him, others were also paying attention to these people.
But I heard the Queen Mother say, “The woman…why does she look familiar? She seems to have seen it before.”
Wen Yan Yanshu also took a look, and was sure that based on her experience of participating in the palace banquet for more than half a year, she had never seen the mother and son.
But indeed, judging by his behavior, he should not be an ordinary person.
Just about to ask about the system, the young man looked around the courtyard, then suddenly set his gaze on her idol, Mr. Qi, and after a pause, he suddenly came forward to say hello, saying, “Dare you?” Is your Excellency Mr. Qi Shu Guangqi?”
Huh?
Yan Shu was taken aback, this boy actually knew her idol?
But after the words fell, she saw her idol, Mr. Qi, also stand up, and replied, “This is Qi Shuguang, may I ask who you are?”
But seeing the young man suddenly very excited, he said, “I am Ren Kaiji from Yanping Houfu, sir, do you still remember me?”
Yanping Hou Mansion?
As soon as these words came out, several people in the hall were stunned for a moment, and the servant girl Hongyu hurriedly whispered to the Queen Mother, “Your servant girl remembered, that seems to be Madam Yanpinghou.”
The queen mother glanced at her, nodded and said, “I remembered too.”
Yan Shu thought to herself, that’s not the case, this child has reported that his family is the Yanping Hou Mansion, and that’s his mother, ninety-five percent is Yanping Hou’s wife.
However, based on the name, the Marquis of Yanping is probably in Minyue. Why did the mother and son travel all the way to the capital?
Yu Wenlan was also surprised, and this person from Yanping Houfu actually knew Qi Shuguang?
Seeing that Qi Shuguang finally came to his senses, he hurriedly said, “So it’s the prince, why did you come here?”
After finishing the words, the young man suddenly said sadly, “It’s a long story… wait a minute, sir, I’ll report to mother.”
After speaking, he returned to his mother’s side, and Qi Shuguang hurriedly followed.
And then, his mother also stood up all of a sudden, and spoke to Qi Shuguang very excitedly.
Because they were a little far away, the people in the pavilion couldn’t hear clearly, they could only catch a glimpse of the madam’s agitated expression, as if she was about to cry.
It’s just that, it makes people more and more curious.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long before I saw Qi Shuguang come back to the three of them again, reporting, “I would like to inform you nobles, Caomin passed through Minyue a few years ago, and was fortunate enough to be invited to the Yanping Hou’s mansion to give lectures to the prince. I just met Yanping Hou. The wife and son of the family actually came here.”
After the words fell, the queen mother asked, “Why did they come to Beijing suddenly?”
But Qi Shuguang said, “According to what you two said, there was an injustice in the family. The Marquis of Yanping wanted to kill his son and wife. The two of you had no choice but to come to the capital to seek justice from the nobles.”
What?
Killing son and wife?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Yu Wenlan then ordered the guards to say, “Take care of the gate of the courtyard for the time being, and don’t ask idlers to enter.”
Then he ordered Qi Shuguang, “Tell the mother and son to come and talk.”
Everyone split up.
Soon, the gate of the courtyard had been watched, and the mother and son of Yanping Hou’s Mansion came to the pavilion in shock and knelt down to salute.
“The courtier’s wife, Yanping Hou Mansion Tao, and her son Kaiji will meet Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Concubine Yi.”
Already cried out between words.
Before Yu Wenlan could speak, the Queen Mother had already said, “Let’s calm down first. Why did you two come all the way to the capital? What happened?”
But I saw Madam Yanpinghou crying, “Thank you for your kindness, the Queen Mother. The reason why I didn’t call you this time is because something happened at home. My mother and son are going to have no way out! A while ago, my husband and I were sick and called people I invited a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits, but the Taoist priest actually said that the child Kaiji was a disaster, and the husband believed it. At first, he scolded his son all day long, and when the courtiers wanted to stop him, he scolded the courtiers together, and then even set fire to it After Kaiji died, the minister’s wife had no choice but to lead Kaiji and escape from the mansion. However, the minister’s wife asked for help all the way, but no one in Yanping dared to take care of her. The minister’s wife was desperate, so she had to come to the capital, begging the nobles to help the minister’s wife and Kaiji is the master!”
After the words fell, the Queen Mother immediately frowned and said, “There is such a thing?”
Everyone’s eyes widened, and their hearts were in disbelief.
— How could Marquis Yanping kill his son? And he is still the eldest son, the eldest son conferred by the imperial court!
The mistress of the majestic Hou Mansion was actually forced to go to the capital to complain?
It’s too ridiculous!
Yan Shu also thought the same way, and in disbelief, she had to ask the system to verify, 【All, is this true or false? 】
But the system said, 【This lady is really not exaggerating. This Marquis of Yanping suffered from a stubborn disease called “Fire Dragon Wrapped Around His Waist” a while ago. back. As soon as the Taoist saw it, he immediately said that there was an evil spirit in the family, and he did some magic tricks for him, and the disease of Yanpinghou was cured a little. 】
[But as soon as the Taoist priest left, he fell ill again, and the pain was worse than before. The Marquis of Yanping had a concubine, so he took the opportunity to bribe the Taoist priest and invite him back. Marquis Yanping said that the evil spirit in the mansion was his son-in-law, meaning that he wanted this person to take the name of the son from the son-in-law and give it to the son-in-law. 】
[The Marquis of Yanping doesn’t like his son so much? At first it was beating and scolding, but later I thought about setting my son on fire. How could this mother tolerate this matter, so she ran away with her son, but Yanpinghou was not small at the time, no one dared to take care of her, the mother and son had no choice but to come to the capital. Isn’t it just the Double Ninth Festival today, I thought about coming to worship God, but I didn’t expect to meet your idol just in time. Speaking of it, it’s good luck, Qi Shuguang is sincere, otherwise others may not believe it. 】
Her idol’s heart is indeed true, but Yan Shu still couldn’t believe it when she heard the words, and said, 【Then Yan Pinghou is a fool? Why do you even believe this kind of nonsense? 】
System, [On the one hand, this person may be a bit stupid, and on the other hand, this disease is really uncomfortable. This Marquis of Yanping has been pampered for so many years, and he must not be able to bear the pain. , after all, the Taoist priest gave him a method that worked for him the first time, it was hard for him not to believe it. 】
Yan Shu thought for a while, “Fire Dragon Wrapped Around the Waist” seemed to be the herpes zoster of later generations, and this disease was indeed not easy to cure.
But why did the Taoist just exorcise ghosts for him?
The system snorted, [Because this Taoist priest really knows how to heal. 】
Yan Shu, [? ? ? What, Taoist priests know medical skills? Since it is so powerful, why not be a doctor and treat people well, why are you pretending to be a ghost? 】
The system solved her confusion, 【This way you can get more money by playing tricks! 】
Yan Shu was still puzzled, 【? ? ? What does a monk earn so much money for? Is it possible to build a mansion and have a wine pool and meat forest to enjoy quietly? 】
system way. [Then you are narrow-minded, this Taoist priest has great ambitions! By the way, speaking of it, this Taoist priest is still an acquaintance of the Queen Mother. 】
Yan Shu, [? ? ? An acquaintance of the Queen Mother? Who? 】
The system, [is the “Reverend White Crane” who helped the old emperor cultivate immortality back then. 】
Yan Shu’s eyes widened, 【What? ? ? Is it the stinky Taoist priest who put medicine in the bedroom of Qianming Palace to make the emperor fail? 】
System, [Yes, it is him. 】
Hearing that Yan Shu was about to vomit blood, 【That charlatan actually went to Minyue? The emperor’s people didn’t find him? 】
But when the words fell, Yu Wenlan who was beside him also gave him a hard meal.
That’s right, just now from Yan Shu’s heartfelt voice, he had already heard that it was the real Bai He who was causing the trouble this time.
——Since he discovered the truth, he has been sending people to look for it, but unfortunately he has not found it. Didn’t expect this person to go to Yanping?
Yan Shu was also at a loss at this time, but she didn’t wait to ask the system, but heard the queen mother say, “How can the Marquis of Yanping be so stupid? How can someone play tricks like this?”
But Madam Yanping Hou cried and nodded, “I dare not lie to you. This Taoist priest has accumulated many followers in Fujian and Yue in recent years, and some people even enshrine him in Taoist temples, and spread him like a god.”
“what?”
The queen mother frowned immediately.
For a moment, I couldn’t help but think of that stupid man back then.
Yu Wenlan also frowned.
This real Baihe has already achieved this level?
Why didn’t his people find out?
Yan Shu also hurriedly asked the system, 【What’s going on here? Isn’t the emperor arresting the real Baihe? How can this person be so big? Didn’t the Jin Yiwei find out? 】
But the system said, 【Because this person has changed his name since he ran away from the palace, and now he is called Daoist Yuan Chong. Few of the guards in Jinyi had seen him back then, so of course it would be difficult to catch him. 】
It turned out to be a name change.
Yan Shu was still puzzled, 【What kind of tricks does this person have, that he still has followers! 】
However, the system said again, 【This person knows medical skills, and his medical skills are quite superb. These years, he has made himself look like an old fairy, with a white hair and a childlike face. Those rich people who have money and leisure love to pursue longevity the most. If you are not old, isn’t it easy to fall? This Daoist Yuan Chong wandered around Minyue and other places for these years, amassing countless fortunes, took in many apprentices in the past few years, and established a Taoist sect called “Baiyunzong”. 】
Yan Shu was still puzzled, 【Then what exactly does he want to do with the money? Is it just to enjoy the feeling of being enshrined? 】
System, [No, in fact, his real purpose is to support the rebellion of the Red Lotus Sect. 】
rebel?
Yan Shu was startled.
Fuck, this Red Lotus Sect is no trick.
This is a nightmare that has plagued every dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years!
No, this matter is getting bigger and bigger!
She had to tell the emperor quickly.
