Chapter 154: Nothing New
These noises of pressure made Sun Rulan's face look terribly gloomy.
Mrs. Bai beckoned Meng Chifei: "You're home, why don't you come over quickly?"
"Oh!" Meng Chifei immediately lowered his head, as obedient as a baby who was about 1.89 meters tall.
She put her arm around Wen Yan's waist and used her lightness skills to fly with her out of the window into the rain.
After Wen Yan stood firmly on the ground, she bowed respectfully to Madam Bai and said, "Foster mother."
Mrs. Bai's serious face suddenly broke into a bright smile: "Hey, Yanyan, good child, come to your stepmother quickly."
Wen Yan lifted her skirt and walked over obediently.
Mrs. Bai held out her hand.
Wen Yan placed his hand in her palm.
"Ride a horse with my stepmother." After saying that, she held Wen Yan's hand and pulled hard.
Wen Yan used his strength to get on the horse.
Meng Chifei also moved forward.
In the end, Madam Bai just glared at him with disdain: "You are so tall and big, please don't tire out my BMW. Unlike my Yanyan, she is pretty and lovely, she is simply my dream girl."
Finished.
She squeezed the horse's belly and the horse started to move away.
Only Meng Chifei was left in the air in a mess.
Then he trotted over and led the horse for Mrs. Meng.
Everyone saw this.
A puzzled look appeared on his face: "Who is that woman? Why does Madam Bai treat her better than her own daughter?"
"That person seems to be Wen Yan."
"Is it the Wen family's adopted daughter who married off to the countryside and caused such a stir a while ago?"
"That's her."
"Isn't it said that the women kept by the Wen family have low character? Why does Madam Bai seem to like her so much?"
"One man's meat is another's poison. Perhaps the Wen and Yan families have different expectations of good character."
After everyone finished speaking, they smiled at each other.
As for Sun Rulan, he was completely ignored.
From beginning to end, Mrs. Bai didn't look at him or say a word to him.
He was unwilling and jealous. The woman he wanted to take as a foot-washing maid turned out to be the adopted daughter of the Meng family.
Just then.
The Jingzhao Prefecture officers approached and took him away: "Come with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Also taken away were Hongying and the top male performer.
Ying Zhilin, who was observing secretly, watched the whole scene and learned that Wen Yan was fine and was protected by the Meng family, so he returned to the inn with peace of mind.
When Mrs. Bai learned that Wen Yan was staying at the inn, she warmly invited her to live in the general's mansion: "Didn't I prepare a room for you when you were in Chi Fei's courtyard?
Don’t you like the hard-core style of the display?
Or is it that Chi Fei has too many things to do and always disturbs you?
Just let her move out and leave the yard to you."
Meng Chifei, who was holding their horses, turned around and looked at Mrs. Bai with a face full of resentment: "Mother, am I your biological child?"
Madam Bai said with disgust: "If possible, I really want to exchange you for Yanyan to be my own daughter."
Wen Yan covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "In ancient times, beautiful women were the cause of trouble for kings. Now, I, Wen Yan, have made the mother and daughter of the Meng family talk endlessly. I am quite impressive!"
The mother and daughter, who were originally chattering, could no longer speak.
In the end, Wen Yan still did not go to the Meng family.
Mrs. Bai suggested meeting Ying Zhilin.
Wen Yan still refused: "He should have gone to bed a long time ago, let's do it another day."
When Mrs. Bai saw Yan mention her new husband without a trace of girlish shyness on her face, she had an idea of the marriage between the store and the home.
She didn't force it anymore.
Just tell Wen Yan that she can do whatever she wants, and the Meng family will always support her.
Wen Yan was so moved that her eyes turned red.
He choked back a response.
After seeing off Meng Chifei and his daughter, Wen Yan returned to his room in the inn.
**
At this time, the palace.
After the imperial banquet.
The emperor followed the old order, holding the queen's hand and walking with her to the bedroom.
Neither of them ate enough at the banquet.
After everyone had a bowl of lotus rice porridge, they sat in the yard to admire the moon for a while. When they were about to take a shower, they saw the palace maids from Fenghua Palace coming in in a panic.
The emperor's face was sullen as he listened to the maid's report: "My queen has been suffering from severe abdominal pain since returning from the banquet. The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician has not helped. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on my mistress and go see her."
The emperor's eyes were almost rolling to the sky.
Here we go again.
All the women in the palace, old and young, loved to use this trick to call him away.
They didn't find it annoying, but he found the acting poor.
If you really are sick, he's not a doctor, so how can you cure it by going there?
"Go ask the imperial physician to treat him." The emperor said indifferently.
The maid burst into tears and bowed her head to the ground: "Your Majesty, please, my master is in a very bad condition..."
The Queen glanced at the maid and advised, "You should go and see her. Concubine Zheng has always been delicate. You are her husband. He can only feel at ease with you by her side."
"Today is the day I stay overnight in your palace, and the rules cannot be broken." The emperor glared at the queen angrily and tried to push himself towards me.
"Look, the maid's forehead is almost broken." The Queen took the Emperor's hand and shook it gently. "Alright, go quickly. Don't keep Concubine Zheng waiting anxiously."
The emperor snorted and then left with the palace maid.
The palace maid bowed deeply to the queen in gratitude.
If the emperor doesn't go today, her life might be in danger.
They talked for a while, then took Wen Yan home.
The emperor passed by the imperial garden.
When passing a rockery, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew.
Very unique fragrance.
The emperor was distracted and his footsteps followed the fragrant breeze.
Beyond the rockery, in the center of the lotus pond, a woman wearing colorful feathered clothes is dancing.
As she danced gracefully, the fragrance lingered.
The emperor was very awakened while admiring the dance and smelling the fragrant breeze.
Concubine Zheng's maid was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to make a sound to disturb her. She could only scratch her ears and cheeks in anxiety.
As the dance ended.
The dancing woman looked like the emperor who had just discovered the shore.
"Your Majesty..." The woman seemed to have just discovered her and knelt down in fear: "Lan'er greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
A glint flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he waved towards Concubine Lan: "Come here."
Concubine Lan was delighted.
But he did not stand up: "Lan'er is missing. Lan'er's brother made a mistake, and Lan'er was ignorant and pleaded for his brother. Lan'er did not dare to get up."
The emperor smiled and said, "It's alright. I forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Lan threw herself into the emperor's arms like a happy little rabbit.
The emperor put his arm around his shoulders and patted him lovingly.
Imperial Concubine Lan said coquettishly, "Lan'er thought that because she had made a mistake, the Emperor no longer wanted her. Lan'er has lost her appetite these past few days and has been wanting to apologize to His Majesty but has never found a chance."
The emperor said with a smile: "How could I be angry with Lan'er!"
