My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons

Not surprisingly, as Mrs. Mu's words fell, everyone looked at Zong Xinghai who had come all the way.

Tsk tsk tsk, the exciting moment has arrived! !

Let's see how this man reacts when he finds out that he has a child! !

But Zong Xinghai was stunned.

-what?

She and him have a child?

Dazed for a few moments, Zong Xinghai frowned after confirming that he had heard correctly, and said in disbelief, "Ma'am... is what you said true?"

Mrs. Mu nodded, and said with a complex expression, "If it's not true, why bother to ask you to come here?"

After the words fell, Zong Xinghai finally became excited, with tears in his eyes, he looked around tremblingly, and asked, "Then, where is the child? Is it a boy or a girl? Is it okay?"

"It's a daughter."

Mrs. Mu said with tears, "It's good or bad, I just walked through the gate of hell, I almost lost her..."

As soon as the words came to this point, the nose couldn't help but feel sore again, and tears flowed down again.

—God knows how she survived the past few days. Seeing that the child's life or death was unknown, her whole heart was stretched to the limit, full of fear and grievance, but she had nowhere to confide in...

Seeing this man again at this time, she could no longer control her emotions.

Seeing this situation, Zong Xinghai immediately asked nervously, "What's going on? How is the child doing now?"

After all, she was in the palace, and the Empress Dowager was present, Madam Mu had no choice but to restrain her emotions, and said, "I just got better, your blood is to save her."

Hearing this, Zong Xinghai finally came to his senses—

No wonder the Empress Dowager spoke like that just now, no wonder the imperial court sent him to the capital all the way...

It turned out that his blood was actually to save his daughter?

But what happened to his daughter? Why did he walk through the gate of hell?

I was in a hurry, but Madam Mu said again, "I have no other meaning in telling you this today. The child has just woken up, and I will continue to use your blood to treat illnesses. I just want to let you know clearly. , to see if you are willing to save her."

"Yes! How could my subordinates be unwilling!"

Zong Xinghai immediately took the other wrist that hadn't been drawn yet, and said anxiously, "How much more, just take it."

As long as it can save his daughter.

—He actually had a child.

After being alone for so many years, he actually has a daughter!

He actually just found out now! !

In the past days, how much did the mother and daughter bear?

Thinking of this, he blamed himself and felt guilty, wishing he could give his whole life to the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Mu was relieved, and hurriedly said, "Don't be so anxious. It will take about two or three days. Take blood and stool twice a day. Let's listen to the imperial doctor."

Zong Xinghai immediately nodded his head when he heard the words.

After a pause, he tried to ask again, "I wonder if this subordinate can... meet the child..."

However, as soon as these words came out, a person came out from the inner hall immediately, and said to him, "For the time being, it's better not to meet each other, Lingai just woke up, her body is still weak, so don't let your emotions go up and down. See you later."

Zong Xinghai was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the official uniform the other party was wearing, he quickly realized that he might be the imperial doctor who treated his daughter, so he immediately bowed his fists and said, "Although these Nian failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities, but he still thanked the royal doctor for saving the little girl's life."

Doctor Jiang nodded quickly and said, "It's easy to say, it's the nature of doctors to save people, so you don't have to be too polite."

He paused for a while, and then said, "A few days ago, Madam worked hard to cut blood to save her daughter. She was weak and couldn't hold on any longer. It's just right for your lord to come at this time, but you still have to rest and take care of yourself after traveling all the way." own body."

Zong Xinghai nodded quickly, "Yes. Thank you doctor for reminding me."

Doctor Jiang also nodded, and went back to the inner hall to take care of the patient.

But before turning around, he glanced at him again.

Tsk tut in my heart, 【This bone is exactly the same as his daughter, it really is a kiss. 】

Yu Wenlan who heard silently, "..."

Do you dare to come out specially to see people?

At this moment, Madam Mu suddenly knelt down, bowed to him, and said, "My wife wants to plead guilty to Your Majesty."

Yu Wenlan returned to her senses and asked, "What's wrong with Ma'am?"

But Mrs. Mu said, "Since my late husband left, my wife failed to keep the chastity and made a mistake. After having a child, she even lied about her as an adopted daughter. She has been lying to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager all these years. I really deserve to die." I am ashamed of my trust in the Empress Dowager, and I am ashamed of my imperial status. Now I boldly beg Your Majesty, please allow my wife to guard the little girl for a few more days, and when she recovers, I am willing to accept the crime."

As soon as these words came out, before Yu Wenlan could say anything, Zong Xinghai became anxious.

He immediately knelt down in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to learn from me. Back then, it was the humble minister who made a mistake. It was the humble minister who should not covet the mistress, let alone walk away after making a mistake... Madam is completely wrong." Being implicated by my humble minister, please punish my humble minister, don't blame Madam, she is innocent."

After the words fell, everyone's hearts were complicated.

Yu Wenlan heard Yan Shu humming quietly, 【It's so touching! Sure enough, there are still good men in this world! 】

"???"

What is "There are still good men in this world?

Could it be that in her eyes, he is not a good man?

He also heard the queen mother secretly say in her heart, 【This kid surnamed Zong is also very brave, Ayu didn't miss him in vain. But I don't know what the emperor thinks? You don't want to speak for those stubborn old men, do you really blame Ayu? 】

【Hmph, if that's the case, my mother really raised him for nothing. 】

Yu Wenlan, "..."

…when did he express that he would speak up for the bigots?

Tsk, at this time, double pressure came at the same time. In order to show the mind of a good man and to prove that he was not raised for nothing, Yu Wenlan said to Mrs. Mu, "Madam is serious, when your husband died young, you raised the family alone My child, I am already worthy of the spirit of my respected husband in heaven. What happened to the two of you was also after the death of your husband, and it did not violate ethics. After you had a child, you did not abandon her cruelly, but raised her carefully. If there is a debt, It is probably due to concealing the matter of life experience from Ling Ai, and owes her some. The rest, what is the crime?"

After finishing the words, I finally heard the queen mother say in her heart, [Good boy, I finally didn't raise him crookedly. 】

However, Mrs. Mu covered her face and began to cry.

"My wife thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty is very right. My wife is most sorry for Ah Wan..."

— Yes, although she has been trying her best to love this child, she has been unable to let her know the truth. For more than ten years, the little girl only thought that she was a adopted child, and she was extra careful, trying to be obedient, and always felt inferior in her heart.

She still remembers that when the little girl was four years old, she overheard a servant gossiping by chance, and when she found out that she was adopted, the little girl actually shed tears and hid in the bed and cried, which broke her heart.

Therefore, when she spoke out today, she not only wanted to tell Zong Xinghai the truth, but also wanted to confess to her own flesh and blood, so that she would know that she had a mother and a father, and that she was no less lacking than others.

After almost losing her daughter in the past few days, she didn't want to make her daughter bear a lifetime of regrets for some vain things.

And this kind of scene made everyone feel moved.

Yan Shu hid in the inner hall with fever in her eyes.

—This family is really not easy, woo woo woo!

Alas, how cruel is this era to a woman? After the death of her husband, she met the right person again, and it didn't hurt the sky. It's a pity that she has worked hard to suppress it for more than ten years, and now she has to be careful and plead guilty everywhere.

Fortunately, the family finally recognized each other at this time, and the poor baby also had a father, but they missed more than ten years in their lives, and they were the best years of each other!

Thinking of this, she glanced at the emperor again through the crack of the door.

Xindao said that fortunately, the emperor met her in his golden years.

Tsk, look at him now, he looks like a fairy and handsome, and I don't know if he will be as unshaven and bearded as this Zong's deputy general in ten years' time?

...If that's the case, how can you stand it?

Yu Wenlan, "..."

Why is she always thinking so differently from others? ? ?

Just be moved if you are moved, why did it suddenly involve him again?

If he is really unshaven after more than ten years, will she not be able to stand it? ? ?

Tsk, women are really fickle.

But...he still decided to work hard to pay attention to himself, so as not to make himself look unshaven and weathered after more than ten years.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Ma'am, don't blame yourself too much. Now that the matter is over, it's more important to treat Ling Ai first. After the recovery, let's slowly explain the truth to her."

Mrs. Mu is busy.

~~

With the blood of his biological father, Ni Xiangwan's recovery process was indeed much faster.

In order to make it easier for Imperial Doctor Jiang to get the medicine, the Empress Dowager specifically allowed Zong Xinghai to temporarily live in the guard's office. He was very active in going to the palace to get blood twice a day. In this way, by the third day, Ni Xiangwan could already get out of bed and walk around slowly.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Mu and Zong Xinghai were relieved.

The Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, she finally had the energy to deal with the culprit this time.

—A few days ago, she was doing everything possible to save her friend's child. Now, although the child is out of danger, she must give her friend an explanation.

—

Concubine Zhou has been locked in Zhongcui Palace for four days and four nights.

During this period, she didn't get any news, only the palace servants who delivered the food came on time every day, but they just delivered the food with a cold face and didn't say anything to her.

Brother Zhao Laifu, Zhao Laishun, and Xiao Linzi from Quiniao's place had already been executed long after the incident was revealed.

She used this to imagine that since everyone else was dead, the emperor hadn't dealt with her for such a long time, probably for the empress dowager's sake and spared her.

After all, she is now the Zhou family's only hope.

Besides, the Empress Dowager doesn't have her own flesh and blood, so she shouldn't break her ties with her natal family no matter what.

…

She just thought about it until the morning of the fifth day, when someone finally opened the door for her and brought her to Ci'an Palace.

After entering the palace, Concubine Zhou took a look, only to see that the back of the dowager was as cold as ice, and the emperor was also sitting aside with a stern face, not even looking at her.

This kind of expression makes people feel uncertain. Concubine Zhou thought for a while, and had to kneel in front of the queen mother and said, "This concubine is wrong. I have reflected on myself these few days, and I really know that I am wrong. I beg the queen mother and Your Majesty to forgive me." This time I have passed Chen Qie, Chen Qie will definitely reform and rehabilitate in the future, and will never do it again."

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager said, "It was the Ai family's fault for asking you to enter the palace. The Ai family knew that you were not smart and had an arrogant temper. The Ai family only hoped that you would stay in this palace honestly and give Zhou The family fights for a little honor, but I didn't expect the Ai family to be sentimental. You are just stupid, but you are so vicious, taking the child's life for injustice, and because of your jealousy, you can make the innocent Lan Yun and his wife... Xiang Wan is in danger."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Zhou felt that something was wrong, and immediately shed tears and cried, "The concubine made a mistake, please give the concubine another chance, the concubine really dare not..."

The queen mother shook her head and said, "The Ai family dare not give you another chance, and leave behind you how many innocent people you will kill."

Even now, the Queen Mother is still full of anger—in order to win favor, she actually poisoned the fruit tree, and the target was only five-year-old Lan Yun! ! And what's wrong with Xiang Wan! !

The queen mother shook her head and sighed, "Such a vicious heart must not stay in the palace,"

As he spoke, he looked at the emperor and said, "Please make an order to send her to Yuzhen Palace to practice her crimes. If the gods can forgive her, she can be lucky enough to be a human being in the next life. If the gods don't forgive her, throw her into the The way of an animal is to pay for your sins with cattle and horses!"

After the words fell, Concubine Zhou had collapsed to the ground.

——Yuzhen Palace, that place where crazy women are detained, if you go there, you can't get out!

She immediately cried, "Auntie, how can you be so cruel..."

However, the king said, "Decree, Concubine Zhou has vicious thoughts, hides evil intentions, regards human life as nothing, ruins the majesty of the royal family, and insults the prestige of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Immediately depose the concubine and send her to Yuzhen Palace to practice her crimes."

As soon as the voice fell, someone entered the hall immediately and dragged her out.

…

The hall became quiet, and Yu Wenlan looked at the Queen Mother, wanting to say something.

— He actually didn’t expect that the Queen Mother would directly propose sending Concubine Zhou to Yuzhen Palace. He thought that the Queen Mother would at most intend to demote Concubine Zhou, and he was ready to persuade the Queen Mother to punish her severely.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to express her position like this. It seems that she is indeed desperate for Concubine Zhou.

However, such a verdict will definitely shake the Zhou family greatly, and the Queen Mother must also bear a lot of pressure.

So he planned to say something, right to comfort the Queen Mother.

Which one couldn't think of a suitable sentence, but heard the Queen Mother sigh inwardly, 【What have I lived for half my life? 】

…

~~

At this time, in Ganlu Hall, Yan Shu followed the system to understand the whole process, and couldn't help but tsk-tsk again.

——What does it mean not to die, Concubine Zhou is the best example.

However, the Empress Dowager actually offered to send her niece to Yuzhen Palace. It seems that she really has no hope for her natal family.

It can also be seen that his relationship with Mrs. Mu is true.

In order to give an explanation to her best friend, it is really rare for her to be able to do so.

But the system said, 【After all, when the queen mother lost her own flesh and blood, when the queen mother was in the most pain, only Mrs. Mu was by her side and sincerely thought of her. Her natal family's brothers and sisters are close relatives, but they only care about their own glory and wealth. 】

Yan Shu sighed inwardly.

Too. Thinking about it, if Cheng Engong's mansion really regards the queen mother as a relative, it should also train a daughter well and send it to the palace to be the queen mother's right-hand man.

But not to mention the virtues they raised Concubine Zhou, they were still extravagant and extravagant outside the palace. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth found a football team.

Playing around with the suffering of a woman in the palace, what a bunch of vampires!

Tsk, thinking about it this way, the queen mother is quite pitiful. Mrs. Mu saved her daughter anyway, and now the man is back. I want to wait for the daughter to fully recover, and the family can recognize each other and have a happy ending.

Well, in order to wish them a helping hand, it's time for her to do something serious.

So she hurriedly blew on the paper manuscript that had just been rewritten, and ordered Liandong to say, "Send it to His Majesty, just say that I asked him to help transfer it to Mr. Zou, and quickly publish the script."

Liandong was busy, and took the manuscript to Qianming Palace.

And two quarters of an hour later, the poor Xueshi Zou finally got the long-awaited life-saving manuscript. After reading it, he shed tears and gave it to the bookseller, and finally returned to his long-awaited home.

~~

Not surprisingly, Young Master Xiaoyao's new work once again aroused great repercussions once it was released.

After all, after such a long time for the new work, the long-awaited readers all vented their enthusiasm and longing on money. In just half a day, they sold out the booksellers' spot, and several bookstores reprinted overnight, and the supply exceeded demand.

And after competing to read the story, everyone was all moved by its bizarre plot and deeply sympathized with the protagonist.

Many people burst into tears when they saw the last family reunion scene.

However, when the story is being enthusiastically discussed in the streets and alleys, the protagonist in it is still unaware.

—

Seeing that after two or three days of recuperation, Ni Xiangwan's body has completely recovered.

After consulting Doctor Jiang's opinion, Mrs. Mu finally carefully revealed her life experience.

The mother was very worried at first, fearing that her own flesh and blood would hate her and resent her instead.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't have any complaints. Instead, she smiled in her arms, "My daughter can finally call you a mother. This is a dream my daughter has been dreaming since she was a child. It's too late to be happy now. How can I hate you?" Woolen cloth!"

Mrs. Mu smiled with tears, and finally dared to ask the father and daughter to meet each other.

At that time, Zong Dusi, who was used to the storms at sea, was at a loss, but the thirteen-year-old girl took the initiative to look him over carefully, and then called out, "Father."

"My father is so tall and heroic, he is a hero at first glance."

Zong Xinghai's eyes were hot and filled with emotion, he could only say, "Father has missed you for more than ten years, how can he be called a hero?"

The little girl laughed, "Then punish father to make up for daughter in the future."

As he spoke, he helped his father wipe away his tears, and took the initiative to hug him.

…

For the next few days, the little girl pestered her father to ask questions, and the father and daughter got along very well.

Mrs. Mu's heart fell to the ground, and she took the time to come to the Queen Mother to express her heart.

"My wife knows what the Empress Dowager has done for her, and when she is moved, she can't repay her. Now Wan'er has recovered, and my wife has no worries. Please allow the Queen Mother to allow my wife to become a monk and practice."

Only in this way can he protect his friend's face and make his son come out of power.

But the queen mother scolded her for being stupid, "The man has been found, and the child is healed. Why are you still going home at this time? I see that you still have him in your heart, and he also has you in his heart, so I just got down to business." , give Xiang Wan a complete family. But it's not difficult for a widow to remarry."

Mrs. Mu sighed, "People's words are terrible, I'm afraid people in the world will accuse the minister's wife of being shameless."

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager gave her a script, and said with a smile, "Why would people in the world criticize you? This is a new script that has only been published in the past few days. Come and have a look."

Talking book?

Mrs. Mu didn't know why, so she had to take it and read it.

However, the more he looked at it, the redder his face became, and finally he covered his face and said, "This, this, this... isn't it about the minister's wife? It's really embarrassing."

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "What shame is there? To tell you the truth, the emperor asked someone to write this book. You can see the emperor's attitude when you see how complete the story is. People outside all admire the story in this story. Many people cried for you, not to mention they didn’t know it was you, even if they knew, they would understand your difficulties even more.”

Mrs. Mu was taken aback for a moment, so the world thinks so?

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "So there is no need to worry about anything. The child is even more considerate of you. Yesterday he went to the palace and told Ai's family that he wanted to fulfill you and Zong Xinghai, so that Ah Wan can have a dignified identity."

— That's right, my sister suddenly became seriously ill these days, and it's impossible for the new Zhenhai Hou Ni Xiangyi not to know about it, especially when he saw that he couldn't help, he was even more anxious.

And as his sister recovers from danger, he also knows the truth.

Originally, his heart was still very complicated, but after reading the scriptures of Young Master Xiaoyao yesterday, the young man suddenly became enlightened, and he came to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to help his mother.

At this time, Mrs. Mu was surprised and moved when she heard that at this time, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

He sighed with the queen mother, "How lucky is my wife to raise such a good pair of children."

The queen mother also laughed, "Isn't it because of your good education? So don't worry so much. The Ai family will personally give you a marriage decree. Let's see who dares to say anything?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mu blushed as if dripping blood, and smiled embarrassedly, "What do you want a marriage decree when you're too old? Don't worry about your empress, let's talk about it when my wife returns to Mingzhou."

It would be better to simply inform relatives and friends.

As she spoke, she continued, "I've been bothering your empress for a long time, now, it's time for the minister's wife to return to Mingzhou."

After all, there is still a lot of family affairs to deal with, and the son has to go back and continue to be the Marquis of Zhenhai.

Hearing what she said, the Queen Mother also nodded and said, "That's fine, it depends on what you want. However, His Majesty is going to hold a water show at Jinming Pool in a few days. It's rare for you to catch up, so let's ask Xiang Wan to watch it." Let's go."

Speaking of which, every year the imperial court holds water shows around the Dragon Boat Festival.

This is like the ice play on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. It is called a play, but it is actually a sailor drill.

Of course, this year the emperor purposely increased the manpower, and also asked the Ministry of War to add several new projects, in order to make the Queen Mother happy.

After all, the Empress Dowager's birthday this time was not peaceful.

Moreover, during the last ice show, I was not able to watch it at the scene.

Therefore, it is time to make up for it this time.

Of course, water play is also an activity enjoyed by everyone, especially the younger children.

The journey of the little girl from the Ni family to Beijing can be described as ups and downs. If she can feast her eyes and return to Mingzhou, the queen mother will feel better.

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said hello.

~~

The story book was a hit, and the protagonist had a happy ending. Yan Shu felt very happy.

Especially in two days there will be water play to watch, which is full of anticipation.

In contrast, Yu Wenlan seemed to have something on his mind.

Before going to the bed that day, Yan Shu couldn't help wondering, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Is there anything bothering you?"

Tsk, you have to know that this is a person who can't express his emotions and anger. It must be a big deal to see emotions on his face.

Yu Wenlan did have something on his mind.

After all, Yan Shu is not an outsider. Hearing her question at this time, he said, "After what happened to Concubine Zhou, the Cheng'en government has a lot of complaints against the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother doesn't say anything on the surface, she must be depressed. I was just thinking that I should coax the Queen Mother." Be happier?"

After all, mother and son have been wary of each other for more than twenty years, and each has their own thoughts, but he still has affection for the queen mother.

Especially the queen mother raised him and helped him ascend to the throne of God. Although she wanted to protect her own interests, many things were not too much.

If he can properly maintain this mother-child relationship, he is still willing to do it.

After finishing the words, Yan Shu tsk tsk in her heart, 【Come make the Empress Dowager happy? That's not easy, bring back the great scholar of the Zhongji Temple back then, and fulfill the Queen Mother's second spring]

Yu Wenlan, "???"

Of course, Yan Shu only dared to think about it in her heart, and she could only say, "What the queen mother would like to see the most is that your majesty is filial, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and she should worry less about everything. Why don't your majesty arrange more activities in the future so that she can often It will probably be better if you can meet relatives and friends and chat with people."

After the words fell, Yu Wenlan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It makes sense."

As he spoke, he suddenly whispered again, "The queen mother must still want a few more grandchildren, and I can only entrust this matter to you."

As he spoke, he turned over and pinned her down.

…

Ups and downs overnight, of course.

When she woke up the next day, Yu Wenlan had already gone to court.

Yan Shu lazily turned over and was about to get out of bed for breakfast when she heard the system say, [There are new melons, the emperor just issued an edict to invite famous Confucian scholars from all over the country to come to the capital for next month The restart of Songhe Academy. 】

Yan Shu didn't understand at the beginning, 【Songhe Academy restart? What kind of melon does this have? 】

System, [The Grand Master of the Zhongji Temple back then was among those invited this time. 】

Yan Shu, "!!"
