My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons - Chapter 99

Although I am not very interested in this old woman, this matter is still quite strange.

Yan Shu chatted with the system, 【What’s the situation? Why did Nanny Zhuang get together with that old hooligan Cheng Engong? 】

But I heard the system say, 【This has to start almost thirty years ago. As we all know, the Zhou family was a wealthy family. Cheng Engong has been pampered and spoiled. He has been a womanizer since he was a child. Almost all the maids around him gave it away, and it wasn’t enough after that, so he sent his idea to his sister, the Queen Mother’s room. After all, the queen mother can teach people, and the maids around her are very upright. 】

[But how can the Queen Mother allow him to mess around? After discovering this sign of him, he immediately warned him severely, and even reported to his parents to give him a scolding. However, Cheng Engong was honest on the surface, but in reality he became rebellious. The more his sister refused to let him do it, the more he wanted to get it, so one afternoon when there were few people in the mansion, he gave this mother Zhuang to that. 】

Yan Shu was a little surprised, 【That is to say, Nanny Zhuang didn’t want to be forced? Did she tell the Queen Mother? 】

System, [Tell me, tell me, originally the Queen Mother noticed something was wrong in those two days and asked her specifically, but she tried her best to cover up for the little rascal and covered it up. Since then, he fell in love with that Cheng Engong so much that he couldn’t extricate himself. 】

Yan Shu, [? ? ? What kind of way is this? The legendary Stockholm Syndrome? 】

System, [almost. 】

Yan Shu sensed the confusion, and asked again, 【But Cheng Engong has grown up from childhood to old age, and there have been so many women along the way, this Nanny Zhuang has never been hated because of love? 】

System, [As you can see, there is not. Even now, he is still thinking about the old rascal, trying to kidnap the queen mother with his Stockholm disease. 】

Yan Shu, 【…It seems that this old lady’s illness is quite serious. 】

But the problem is, she insists on loving Cheng Engong herself, if she wants to dedicate herself to that old rascal, that’s all, it’s none of other people’s business!

Hasn’t the queen mother fought for her natal family?

Didn’t the emperor save face for Duke Cheng’en’s mansion?

Is there anything wrong with her accompanying the emperor to worship the emperor’s biological mother? Is it worth the nanny’s hatred?

But then again, how did Nanny Zhuang know that she accompanied the emperor to pay respects to Concubine Hui today?

System, [Guess? 】

Yan Shu, [… NND, did this nanny arrange eyeliner to follow me and the emperor? 】

System, [There is no other possibility. 】

Yan Shu almost vomited blood.

Damn, isn’t this old nanny gone mad? Can you even do this kind of thing? ? ?

These one and two are really such a good master as the White Blind Queen Mother. If she didn’t have the melon-eating system, this would have to be misunderstood by her big boss?

Feeling a little angry in her heart, she picked up the teacup in her hand and wanted to have a sip of tea.

Unexpectedly, at this time, an alarm bell sounded from the system, [The rim of the cup was rubbed with castor oil, which may cause discomfort to pregnant women. 】

What? ? ?

Yan Shu was startled, and stopped immediately.

Probably this action was a bit too sudden, the queen mother saw it in her eyes, and couldn’t help but wondered, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Shu had an idea, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand and pretended to vomit, “I don’t know why, this concubine suddenly feels sick…”

The queen mother hurriedly asked, “It’s been three months, why do you still feel sick? Does the imperial doctor go to ask for a safe pulse every day?”

Before Yan Shu could speak, Liandong nodded quickly and said, “I want to report to you, Imperial Physician Jiang has been there every day to ask Master for his pulse. It’s not that Master just had fetal movements yesterday, and Imperial Physician Jiang said everything is normal.”

The queen mother nodded, but still puzzled, “Then what’s going on today?”

After the words fell, Yan Shu also pretended to be calm, stroked her chest and said apologetically, “I don’t know why, but I just brought the tea to my mouth just now, and suddenly felt that the smell was not right… probably because the concubine is too You’re so hypocritical, you’ll make your empress laugh.”

Doesn’t smell right?

The queen mother paused when she heard the words, although she didn’t say anything, she felt suspicious in her heart.

[Why does this tea smell wrong? Could it be that someone has tampered with it? 】

Yan Shu listened to it quietly, feeling certain in her heart.

But the Queen Mother said to her, “It’s not too early for you to come out today, go back and have a rest.”

She should do so, asked Liandong to help her up, bowed to the Queen Mother, and left Ci’an Palace.

——Who was the person who tampered with her teacup? You don’t need to guess.

And the moment she stepped out of the palace gate, she could still hear Madam Zhuang anxiously saying in her heart, 【Is this little hoof really uncomfortable or fake? But if she rubbed her fingertips on the rim of the cup, she could smell it? 】

Yan Shu listened silently, thinking only of haha.

This old lady committed suicide like this, so she must not stay in the palace. Logically speaking, if she made a big fuss on the spot, it would be more than enough for the emperor to punish the old lady with death.

But it’s a pity that she belongs to the Queen Mother.

Once there is a big trouble, I’m afraid it will implicate the Queen Mother.

So she could only remind the queen mother to check herself.

But at this time, when she stepped out of the palace gate, Nanny Zhuang immediately wanted to call someone to clean up the cups that Yan Shu had just used.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager said without revealing her anger, “Ask the people from the tea room to come in.”

Nanny Zhuang paused and had no choice but to go.

Not long after, the two maids in the tea room, Mei Xue and Dan Shuang, arrived in the hall.

After the two saluted, the Queen Mother asked, “Who made the tea today?”

Mei Xue said immediately, “I will tell you, Madam, it’s the tea made by the maidservants.”

The Empress Dowager didn’t show any surprise, she just asked again, “What kind of tea did you make for Concubine Yi?”

Mei Xue hurriedly said, “The Liu’an melon slices cooked by the maid for Yifei is the kind that Yifei often drinks.”

Danshuang also nodded beside her, and her expression seemed to be magnanimous.

The queen mother raised her chin again, and showed them the seat where Yan Shu had been sitting just now, and said, “Go and see, what’s wrong with that cup of tea?”

The two of them should be, so they went over together, picked up the tea cup and inspected it carefully.

But Mei Xue said suddenly, “Ma’am, there seems to be oil on the rim of this cup.”

Danshuang had already rubbed the oil on her hands, and after examining it carefully, she nodded and said, “It should be oil.”

The Empress Dowager looked cold, and asked again, “Then whose hands did this cup of tea go through?”

Mei Xue hurriedly knelt again and said, “I would like to inform you, the servants and servants brought the tea to the gate of the hall with their own hands just now, and it was brought in by Nanny Zhuang, other than that, no one else passed through it.”

The Queen Mother still remembered this scene, and immediately looked at Zhuang Nanny when she heard the words.

At that moment, his gaze was as cold as a knife.

Madam Zhuang paused, then hurriedly knelt down and said, “Your servant has been wronged.”

The queen mother only sneered, and said, “It was the biggest mistake that the Ai family didn’t kick you out. Today in this palace, no one the Ai family trusts can trust you.”

As soon as the voice fell, Zhuang Momo burst into tears and said, “Your Majesty’s words are really wronging your servants. Your servants are always for your Majesty! Your Majesty, you know, yesterday His Majesty went to Yongfu Palace to pay homage to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Yi was still accompanying her all the way. Your Majesty is so kind to Concubine Yi, but she wants to accompany His Majesty even though she is pregnant, how can she have you in her heart?”

The queen mother frowned and said, “Because of this, you have to ignore the emperor’s heir? How did you manage to do so?”

But Nanny Zhuang shook her head vigorously and said, “No, please be enlightened, my maidservant just smeared a little castor oil on the rim of the cup, even if Empress Yifei drank it, it would only be a tiny bit, at most it would just cause diarrhea, nothing at all. It will not affect the emperor’s heir.”

What?

Just a little castor oil?

The queen mother immediately became angry when she heard the words, “She has two bodies now, and she can’t stand a little carelessness. How can you say this lightly? Why did you do this?”

Zhuang Momo cried again, “I just want to let Concubine Yi know that I can’t go to that place, and I just want her to be sincere to you from now on and not dare to disagree.”

The queen mother didn’t know what to say, she closed her eyes and sighed, and said, “Isn’t this human nature? Concubine Hui is your majesty’s biological mother. If your majesty doesn’t even read the birth mother, is there any one who will sincerely respect and mourn your family? Your majesty should My concubine’s husband, if she doesn’t consider her husband, will it be possible for her to agree with you? You have lived for decades, what have you lived for?”

But Nanny Zhuang cried, “The slaves have been like a day for decades, and they only have the empress and the Zhou family in their hearts!”

But the queen mother shook her head and said, “If you have a family in your heart, you will never do such a thing.”

After speaking, he sighed again, and said, “Forget it, since you like the Zhou family so much, go back.”

Grandma Zhuang was taken aback.

~~

In the evening of that day, Yan Shu heard the news from the system, saying that the Empress Dowager sent her back to Cheng En Gong’s mansion on the grounds of being considerate of Nanny Zhuang’s discomfort.

She raised her eyebrows, thinking that it seemed that the Queen Mother had already found out.

—Although she just drove the old woman back to the Zhou family, she also understood the empress dowager’s difficulties.

After all, Nanny Zhuang is the most important person around the Empress Dowager, if something big happens suddenly, it will cause many speculations.

No matter what, as long as this person doesn’t disgust her in the palace, it will be fine.

As for the others… She can only say that this is good. From now on, this Stockholm patient can see the only old man in her life having a good time with other concubines every day, and she doesn’t know how it will feel.

Tsk, in short, it is quite difficult to understand.

After feeling so emotional, the palace people have already arranged the dinner.

Yan Shu was hungry, so she went to clean her hands and planned to eat.

Glancing at the table, she saw that it was all what she wanted to eat, such as spicy crucian carp, roasted pepper preserved eggs, stir-fried kidneys, spicy lamb’s trotters and so on.

After the morning sickness disappeared, she suddenly fell in love with heavy-tasting dishes. She didn’t like spicy, sour and spicy preserved kidney eggs, and she didn’t like anything that had no special taste.

At this time, she was just about to pick up her chopsticks and start eating when her appetite was wheezing, but she heard a communication outside the palace door, “Your Majesty is here…”

Um? It turned out to be the emperor?

Yan Shu had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and get up, and went to the door to greet her first.

“The concubine welcomes His Majesty.”

Yu Wenlan murmured, “There is no need to be formal.”

As he spoke, he helped her up, and they both came to the table.

Yan Shu thought to herself, now it’s finally time to eat, so she quickly picked up the chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not in a hurry to eat, but asked anxiously first, “The queen mother just sent Nanny Zhuang out of the palace, do you know what happened?”

Yan Shu had no choice but to put down her chopsticks again, leaning against his ear, and whispered what happened today.

But when the voice fell, Yu Wenlan frowned immediately, “There is such a thing? Isn’t it too light to deal with it like this?”

However, as soon as these words came out, there were all kinds of curious voices in the ears of the two of them——

【What’s up? What the **** is going on! Your Majesty, can you speak louder and ask us to listen too! 】

【I said that Nanny Zhuang must have done something bad before she was kicked out, tsk, I just don’t know what is wrong? Madam, tell me! 】

Yu Wenlan, “…”

Yanshu, “…”

She could only wave her hands to tell the idlers to leave, while saying in her heart that she was sorry and didn’t mean to make them curious.

When there were no other people in the hall, she said to Yu Wenlan, “The concubine feels that if there is a big trouble, it will be very detrimental to the Queen Mother, but after all, the Queen Mother is innocent…”

Yu Wenlan sighed, “It’s rare that your mind is pure and kind.”

It’s rare for her to have this ability.

As he spoke, he couldn’t help reaching out and touching her belly.

By the way, who are the queen mother around?

Unexpectedly, just as she was thinking this way, she heard her say in her heart, 【Hey, I heard it! Just now he was saying ‘what kind of people are these around the Queen Mother’! 】

Yu Wenlan was startled, and subconsciously checked, only to realize that she was touching her belly.

He hastily let go and tried to listen again.

But she heard her say in her heart, 【Hey, why can’t I hear you again? 】

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly guessing in his heart, maybe it was because he touched her belly just now?

should be.

It’s just…why?

Could it be because of the little guy inside?

This is his child, maybe it’s because the child also inherited his mind-reading skills, so she suddenly also has mind-reading skills?

So just now when he touched it, she could hear it?

Thinking of it this way, Yu Wenlan felt proud and cute, and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

But after thinking about it, I feel a little sad——

Is it possible that I can’t touch her stomach in the future?

How can this be done?

I was in distress, but I heard her pondering in her heart, 【Why did I only hear it once? What’s the situation? Is there any signal here? 】

Yu Wenlan was startled, and quickly changed the subject, “The food is cold, let’s eat quickly.”

While talking, he took the initiative to pick up a spicy goat’s trotter for her.

Yan Shu snorted, put aside distracting thoughts for the time being, and concentrated on eating.

Wow, the sheep’s trotters are fragrant and spicy, they melt in the mouth, they are really delicious, just what she wants to eat!

He hadn’t finished eating one, but saw him pick up another piece of kidney flower for himself, and said, “This must be while it’s hot, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Yan Shu hurriedly wiped her hands, picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.

He nodded while eating, “Yeah, that’s right, the kidney flowers at this time are fresh and crispy, spicy and delicious, but they will smell fishy when they are cold! Your majesty should try it too!”

It seems that he has already forgotten what happened just now.

Yu Wenlan secretly said that it was dangerous, and then he began to eat with confidence.

~~

Within two days, Yan Shu got another news from the system. It turned out that after returning to Cheng’en Gong’s mansion, Madam Zhuang was kicked out by Cheng’en Gong’s wife because of meddling in the mansion’s affairs.

Tsk, this ending was actually expected, Yan Shu didn’t comment too much.

Just because she was afraid that the queen mother would be sad, she didn’t have the heart to tell the queen mother.

Losing two servants in a row, Yan Shu felt that the Queen Mother must be a little bit disappointed, so she tried her best to go to Ci’an Palace every day to accompany her to talk and explain.

Fortunately, after her observation, she found that the rest of the people in Ci’an Palace are good for the time being, and they have no dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother.

In this way, she was also relieved.

On this day, she was talking with the Queen Mother, but she saw a palace official report to the Queen Mother, “My Lady, Mrs. Shao, General Wu’an’s House, please see me.”

Mrs. Shao of General Wu’an’s Mansion?

This name is a little strange to Yan Shu.

She knew about General Wu’an, he was a very famous general when the first emperor was still in power, he was the king of the imperial court, and he made great military exploits.

Speaking of which, this general should be in his fifties or sixties now.

However, every time he went to the palace banquet, he only saw his daughter-in-law come, and this “Mrs. Shao” heard it for the first time.

But the system said, 【This is the concubine of General Wu An, and she is not eligible to attend the palace banquet, so of course you have never seen it. 】

Yan Shu was stunned, but she was also a little surprised to see the queen mother, and asked the palace humanely, “Why did she come to ask to see me?”

I only listened to the palace people, “This lady said that General Wu’an is seriously ill, and no good doctor can be found outside the palace. I want to ask for the grace of the empress, and send the imperial doctor to treat the general.”

But the Queen Mother was stunned, “What? General Wu An is seriously ill? Ai’s family has not heard the news, call her in quickly.”

The palace man should be, so he hurried to pass it on.

After a while, I saw a woman in her forties entering the hall.

After saluting to the Empress Dowager, he said, “I know that I have no face to come to see the Empress Dowager, but now the general has been ill for more than a month, and the doctors outside the palace have visited all times, and there is no turning point, so I have the courage to invite the Empress Dowager.” will.”

The Queen Mother sighed, “At this time, why are you still saying these words? General Wu An fought for the country, how can the Ai family stand by now? This is to ask Doctor Jiang to go back home with you. If you have any news, send someone at any time.” Come to report mourning.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the court lady He Feng to take her to the Imperial Hospital to find someone.

Mrs. Shao thanked her repeatedly, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and followed.

The hall was temporarily quiet, but Yan Shu was still a little curious, and couldn’t help asking, “I don’t know why this lady is so inferior in her words?”

But the queen mother sighed and said, “This woman was born in a brothel before, and was redeemed by General Wu’an to become a concubine in the mansion. Outsiders have always criticized her background, so she said so.”

Yan Shu paused.

A concubine from a brothel?

hiss…

It sounds like a love story with a bit of twists and turns.
