MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 106

On the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Xiaoyao's new storybooks appeared again, and there were two of them at once, which surprised readers very much.

And the case of Duke Qi's government is already under trial. As soon as the news came out, combined with the new script of Mr. Xiaoyao, the common people all understood that this once invincible and powerful family has actually become like this. .

For a while, there was endless scolding.

And as the news spread, inside and outside the capital, many people who had been bullied by the Duke of Qi came to the Yamen to beat drums and complain. Large and small, there are more than ten piles.

At such a time, the local officials dared not ignore it, and they all hurriedly recorded it, and then submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

As a result, the scope of the case continued to expand, and it took nearly half a month for the two departments including the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Ministry to clear the case and report it to the king.

Seeing that the verified piles of criminal evidence involved more than ten lives, the king was furious, and the imperial pen personally approved Guo Zhenghai's crime of beheading on the spot.

His subordinates always follow the staff, and anyone involved in the case will be dealt with seriously, beheaded in severe cases, exiled in light cases, and no one will be pardoned.

Guo Zhenghai's wife and children, as accomplices, were also sentenced to exile and sent to the bitter cold of the border. However, the residual poison in his son's body was not eliminated, and he died on the road before walking fifty miles away from the capital.

As for the Duke of Qi who once betrayed his nephew and brother-in-law and killed dozens of members of his father-in-law's family, he suffered a stroke as early as the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and returned home within three days.

At this point, a family that had been brilliant for decades completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Of course, the Holy One is merciful. While dealing with the Guo family, special officials have been ordered to count the concubines and servants of his mansion one by one. Anyone who did not participate in the Guo family's evil deeds will be freed.

In this way, the eldest girl from the Lin family was finally able to return to her home in Luzhou and reunite with her parents.

~~

When the turmoil in the Duke of Qi's mansion officially came to an end, it was already September in the capital, and the weather was already a bit cold in the morning and evening.

Yan Shu's belly got bigger again, even though she was wearing a thick robe during the day, she could still see a little bit of her figure.

It became even more obvious when I changed into pajamas at night.

Yu Wenlan has been busy for more than half a month, and it is rare to come here early tonight. When she stepped into the hall, she just came out of the bathroom.

Lian Dong Lian Xin supported the master from left to right, saw the king, hurriedly wanted to salute, but just bent his knees, but listened to the king's words, "Go down." After saying that, she naturally reached out her hand to take over from them, and supported Yan Shu.

The two should be, bowed their heads and retreated.

There was no one else in the room, and before Yan Shu could speak, Yu Wenlan looked her over and sighed, "The belly seems to be getting bigger."

Yan Shu nodded and said, "After all, it's been five months. Besides, His Majesty hasn't come for a few days."

Hearing this, Yu Wenlan hurriedly explained, "It was late when I finished my work a few days ago. I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I rested in Qianming Palace by myself."

As he said that, he felt very owed in his heart, pity her big belly, how could she be made to sleep alone in this palace for three days?

But she saw that she was very sensible and said, "Your Majesty is busy with political affairs and should be careful about the dragon's body. It is better not to be too tired."

But he said in his heart, "Baby dad, you don't have to be polite with me, in fact, I'm quite comfortable sleeping in a big bed by myself, I can roll as much as I want!" 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

Don't you really miss him?

Also, what's up with the title "baby his father"?

Also, with such a big belly, can you still roll as you like?

He wanted to say a lot for a while, but it was not summer, so he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he led her to the couch first, and told her to lie down under the blanket.

Then he went to wash up and went to bed.

Well, it seems that the quilt has just been dried in the daytime, and it has a comfortable smell. More importantly, there is a small natural heater in the quilt, which exudes a fragrance, and it is also very soft, which makes him busy all day. The body finally relaxes.

However, Yu Wenlan still remembered what happened just now, so she reached out to hold her in his arms and asked, "Is my arms comfortable?"

Yan Shu nodded without thinking, "Of course it's comfortable."

Yu Wenlan asked again, "Then, do you sleep here by yourself, or sleep with me?"

Yan Shu said again, "Of course it's better to be with His Majesty."

But before the words came out, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

—Why does this person ask such a question?

As if he knew what she was thinking just now?

No, tsk, it's better to see what he's thinking.

So she took his hand, put it on her belly and said, "Your Majesty, touch Bao'er."

Yu Wenlan was agitated, and hurriedly put away the thoughts in her heart that she couldn't let her know.

But the palm just touched her belly, unexpectedly, the little guy was pushing a bag against him, and it landed on the palm of his palm impartially, which made him feel very clearly.

Yu Wenlan was taken aback, and his heart suddenly softened.

【Well, as expected of my cub, he is as smart as me. 】

Yanshu, "..."

It turns out that the emperor is also so confident, as expected, all men in the world are the same!

However, at this moment, the cub in his belly seemed very excited, moving again and again, Yan Shu thought, maybe the little guy really knows his father and likes him to touch him?

She was also very happy, so she said to Yu Wenlan, "Your Majesty wants to talk to Bao'er more now. Bao'er is familiar with Your Majesty's voice, and will kiss you especially in the future."

Yu Wenlan felt novelty, "Is that so?"

Seeing her nodding, he was a little undecided, and said, "What should I say to him?"

It seems a little clumsy.

Sure enough, it was the first time a man became a father, and Yan Shu couldn't help being amused by him, so she said, "Your Majesty, why not introduce yourself to Bao'er."

Yu Wenlan groaned, then coughed lightly, and tried to say, "Zai Zai, I am dad."

As soon as the words fell, the little guy actually pushed a bag against him through his belly.

Yu Wenlan was very excited.

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, so he was also called Bao'er Zai Zai?

Could it be the legendary tacit understanding?

He couldn't help sighing, "Your Majesty is so gentle with Bao'er."

Unexpectedly, the voice just fell, but he saw him pinch her chin lightly, and said with a smile, "Isn't I gentle with you?"

Hmm, the slippery touch from the fingertips made people feel a little distracted.

However, just over half a month ago...

After all, the imperial physician said that although it is possible at this time, it should not be frequent.

He had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and asked her again, "How old is Zai Zai now?"

Yan Shu thought about it, compared him to a bunch of grapes, and said, "It's about this big."

Yu Wenlan was a little surprised, "It's only this big? Wouldn't it take a long time for it to be born?"

— After all, it was his first time as a father, and he had never seen a pregnant woman before, so he didn't have common sense in this area.

Of course, Yan Shu was also a first-time mother, and she didn't have much experience. Hearing this, she compared him to a watermelon based on her imagination, and said, "When the concubine gives birth, her belly will be about this big."

"I see,"

Yu Wenlan nodded, and couldn't help frowning, "It's so big, how will it be born?"

Yanshu, "..."

Good question.

Men in the world should know how hard it is for a woman to have a baby.

But there are probably not many people who can pay attention to this issue.

It's a pity that there are no prenatal training classes for expectant fathers in this era. And she didn't know what to do, she just knew it would be painful.

She then said, "...the so-called boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and concubines will be born by then."

However, having said that, my heart has already begun to become tense. After all, the current medical conditions are limited, and mothers may have dystocia at every turn!

Woohoo, what will she do then?

Yu Wenlan listened to her silently, and suddenly pulled her tightly into her arms, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely summon all the imperial physicians to keep you safe."

This hug gave people a sense of security for no reason, so Yan Shu nodded.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, maybe compared with many men at present, he has already done well. Not to mention others, at least she is much happier than Concubine Hui back then.

Speaking of which, this time the Duke of Qi's mansion was eradicated, the emperor still ignored the so-called natal family of Concubine Hui, and his attitude was already obvious.

After all, after eating so many melons, it is really rare for someone like the queen mother to raise the concubine's children well and with such care.

The queen mother is indeed a rare adoptive mother in the world.

Yu Wenlan also thought the same way. At this time, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and then said, "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, so we should think about how to celebrate the Queen Mother."

Yan Shu grunted and thought about it.

——The Double Ninth Festival in the palace is usually nothing more than a banquet and drinking some chrysanthemum wine.

But the queen mother doesn't like eating and drinking like she does, and the banquet seems to be meaningless.

The most important thing is that those acquaintances have nothing new recently...

What a boring feast without melons, tsk.

Hey, it would be great if she could ask her idol Qi Shanchang to spend the Double Ninth Festival with the Queen Mother...

Yu Wenlan, "..."

How is that possible? The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager after all, right now Qi Shuguang is just the head of the Songhe Academy, two people who are out of reach...

Of course, Yan Shu also knew that this matter was not possible, so the thought just passed by in a flash.

But after thinking about it, she brightened her eyes and said, "During the Double Ninth Festival, common people like to go out and climb high. Maybe the Queen Mother also wants to go out to get some fresh air? Your Majesty, why don't you take the Queen Mother out for a walk?"

Yu Wenlan was a little hesitant, "Will the queen mother like to leave the palace?"

Yan Shu thought to herself, how could she not like it? Every bird in this palace wants to fly out and have a look, okay?

The Queen Mother has been imprisoned for decades, she definitely wants to get out! !

But she didn't dare to say these words clearly, she could only remind him, "Your Majesty will go out from time to time to observe the sentiments of the people, and to judge others. After all, the Empress Dowager has stayed in the palace for so many years, she must also want to go out and ask the sentiments of the people? For example, in the past Your Majesty took his ministers and concubines out to eat delicious food, no, it’s to experience the atmosphere of folk fireworks, isn’t it fun?”

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, sometimes he does feel stuffy in the palace and wants to go out for a walk.

However, he glanced at her again and said, "But can you climb high now?"

Hey, this is a play!

Yan Shu regained her spirits immediately, nodded her head and said, "The concubine is fine, the imperial doctor also said that the concubine should also exercise properly, so that the childbirth will be easier in the future."

Before he could say anything more, she had already started planning, "I think Dangui Mountain is good. It's the time when sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the mountain is not high and the road is easy to walk. I heard that horse-drawn carriages can go up."

"By the way, I heard that there is a temple on the mountain where we can worship. The concubine will ask the Empress Dowager tomorrow, she will definitely like it."

Hey, I can go out again! !

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Wait, he hasn't agreed yet...

It's too late to say no...

…

~~

As Yan Shu expected, the Empress Dowager was very happy about going out of the palace and ascending the heights. She only asked the question the next day, and she happily agreed.

Yu Wenlan had no choice but to order Jin Yiwei to make some arrangements first. After ensuring safety, it was convenient for Chongyang to take the Queen Mother and Yan Shu out to Dangui Mountain early in the morning.

As Yan Shu said, Dangui Mountain is not high, and the mountain road is easy to walk, and the carriage can drive all the way to the top of the mountain.

After a few people got off the car, they saw layers of red leaves in the mountains, and the breeze around them was accompanied by the sweet scent of osmanthus, which made people feel very comfortable.

And the Queen Mother was really in a good mood, and her speech and demeanor were much lighter.

As for Yan Shu, her steps are even more light, and she really doesn't feel strenuous at all.

Of course, Yu Wenlan still didn't dare to relax, and carefully led her along the way.

There is a White Pagoda Temple on this mountain. Along the way, many tourists can be seen holding incense candles to worship the gods. Today, several people came here. After admiring the scenery, they decided to go to the temple as well.

The way to the temple couldn't take a horse-drawn carriage, but fortunately, it wasn't too far away, and it took a little time for a cup of tea to arrive.

The temple is not big, but it is simple and unsophisticated, and it is said to be very effective, so the family of three worshiped together. And donated some incense money.

After worshiping, several people enjoyed the scenery in the temple and took a rest in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The accompanying maids served hot tea in time, and Yu Wenlan asked the queen mother, "How does mother feel today?"

The voice under the Queen Mother's hood was filled with a satisfied smile, "Very well, the lord also has a heart, just now I heard tourists talking about the Guo family's affairs not long ago, and they all praised the king's sage, the lord should make persistent efforts in the future."

Yu Wenlan hurriedly nodded and said, "My son understands, please rest assured, mother."

I also feel satisfied in my heart.

Then he picked up the teacup and looked around unintentionally. Before he could drink the hot tea, his eyes froze.

——Today, there are not many tourists in this courtyard, but a few come in from time to time. After worshiping the Buddha and admiring the scenery, they go down the mountain.

At this time, a person was stepping into the courtyard, and it was particularly obvious because he was alone.

He was about forty years old, dressed in green robes, his body was like a pine and cypress, it was none other than Qi Shuguang, the head of Songhe Academy.

Why is he here?

Yu Wenlan paused, and before he had any more thoughts, there was a sudden scream in his ears——

【God, isn't that the head of Qi Shan? Actually met here? This must be God's will! ! 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

At this time, there were only two women sitting beside him.

Needless to say, this was Yan Shu calling in her heart again.

The moment he saw Qi Shuguang just now, he had some doubts that she arranged this matter.

But at this time, he heard her shouting like this, and he believed it. It turned out that she didn't know.

And then, the Queen Mother was also heartbroken, and said, 【This... why did this person come here? 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Well, it turned out that the Queen Mother didn't know about it either.

Tsk, then to be able to meet here, is it really...

God willing?

At this moment, Qi Shuguang, who was enjoying the scenery, also saw him, and after a moment of stupefaction, he immediately stepped forward and saluted him, "I didn't know that the nobleman was here, and it's really a crime to disturb you."

When they bumped into each other, Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm also here to enjoy the scenery today, so there's no need to be formal."

Just finished speaking, Yan Shu coughed under the hood and said, "What a coincidence, did Mr. Qi also come out to enjoy the scenery today?"

Qi Shuguang hurriedly said, "Yes Ma'am."

He thought to himself, listening to the voice, this one should be Empress Yifei, so the other... could it be... her?

Yan Shu listened quietly to her ears, don't think too much about answering yes, but rationality told her not to talk too much, so she could only say, "Today is really a coincidence, speaking of it, the mansion sent some blue crabs to Mr. , I wonder if you have tasted it, sir?"

But her idol said, "Madam, the teachers and students in the courtyard have already tasted it, and they are all very grateful for the kindness of the nobles."

Yan Shu nodded, and said again, "Are you able to eat the mooncakes? They are all made by Fuchu themselves, using the lotus seeds grown in Fuchu itself."

But her idol said again, "I have already tasted it all. How lucky are the teachers and students to have such care from the nobles."

Yan Shu felt relieved, thinking that this is good, so that her big brother's mooncakes will not be wasted!

Huh, it's a pity that I can only tell my idol this way, I can't say more.

And as her words fell, she saw her idol Qi Xueshi was about to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the queen mother beside her suddenly said, "Sir, you are tired from the journey up the mountain, why don't you come over and have a cup of tea?"

Yan Shu, "!!"

Yu Wenlan, "..."

In an instant, another cry came into my ears, 【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the boss is mighty! ! Idol, promise quickly, promise quickly! ! 】

Needless to say, it belonged to her concubine again.

And looking at Qi Shuguang again, he was already stunned.

After a while, he lowered his head and said, "I dare not disturb the nobles."

Unexpectedly, I heard the Empress Dowager say again, "I'm not in the mansion today, why are you being polite? It's just a cup of tea, it's better than going back to the academy to drink water."

Yu Wenlan, "..."

In order to prevent screams from coming from his ears, he simply said, "My mother has spoken, so you don't have to be polite, sir, let's come together."

Cough, that's right, why don't you just have a cup of tea, what's the matter.
