What, divorce?

Everyone was stunned when the eunuch said this.

Yan Shu also forgot about the roast duck she had just rolled up and looked up.

What was going on?

The prince of Qin An, who knew he had been cuckolded for a long time, actually wanted to divorce his wife?

And right now in the palace? ?

? ... Did she miss something important? ? ?

Of course, the most shocked people in the palace at this time were the wife of Qin An and his daughter-in-law Yue.

Hearing this, the wife of Qin An was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Why is this kid so drunk? What nonsense is he talking about?"

Looking at Yue again, her face was full of embarrassment.

In embarrassment and with some grievance, he looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Mother, how could the prince be so drunk?"

The queen mother was also wondering, and asked, "Akang has been an honest child since he was young, why did he suddenly say such things?"

The eunuch who came to report the news said with embarrassment, "I didn't know either, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, the queen mother had to look at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said, "Forget it, since His Majesty has spoken, you should go and take a look."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to agree and get up.

But the queen mother ordered Lan He, the maidservant beside her, "You should also go and take a look."

Lan He agreed and went with the two of them.

In this way, only the queen mother, Yan Shu, Concubine Zhou, Wang Zhaoyi, Qin Angong's daughter Qiao, and the Yue family girl who followed her sister into the palace were left at the banquet.

Yan Shu also admired this girl. After all, Qiao was the niece of the Queen Mother, and they had something to say to each other. But she followed her sister into the palace to eat, and she could still sit still after her sister left.

Tsk, she is also a very motivated person.

But...

she was a little restless.

What happened in Xiangyun Palace?

The prince of Qin An actually wanted to divorce his wife?

Based on her many years of experience, something must be wrong!

Maybe something exciting will happen later...

She also wants to go and see it!!!

Thinking of this, even the roast duck in her hand didn't smell good anymore.

After barely drinking another bowl of spicy and delicious fish soup, Lan He hurried back and said to the Queen Mother breathlessly, "My Queen, no, it's not good. The Prince of Qin An rushed up to the Prince's wife and grabbed her neck and said he wanted to kill her... Your Majesty, please go there too."

What? ! !

Everyone in the hall said almost in unison.

Only Yan Shu's eyes lit up immediately - as expected, she guessed correctly, it was already so exciting! ! !

The Queen Mother also said, "How could it be like this? Quick, prepare the sedan chair!"

After she finished speaking, she also hurriedly got up and went to the Xiangyun Hall.

Seeing this scene, Qiao, as a younger sister, could not sit still and hurriedly followed the Queen Mother.

The Yue family girl had no choice but to get up with regret and followed Qiao.

As a result, there were no more people at the banquet.

Yan Shu was very excited. She looked at the remaining Concubine Zhou and Wang Zhaoyi. Seeing that they also stood up and planned to leave, she hurriedly followed the Queen Mother and others.

——Ah~~

Anyway, the Xiangyun Palace must be in chaos, and one more person won’t make a difference!

~~

When Yan Shu followed the large group of people to the place, she saw that the prince of Qin An, Qiao Yongkang, was being pulled by someone. His round face was as red as cooked shrimps. He really looked like he was drunk.

His wife Yue was hiding behind her mother-in-law and crying, with a circle of red marks on her neck.

Duke Qin An was so angry that he slapped his son twice and scolded him, "You idiot, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty? You just drank a few glasses of wine and you forgot where you are?"

Duke Qin An's wife also scolded her son, "That's right, what nonsense are you talking about? Divorce or not!"

After saying this, Yue cried even louder.

However, when the crying sound reached his ears, Qiao Yongkang suddenly shouted, "You know nothing! Do you know how much pain I have endured!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the Queen Mother stepping into the palace. Qiao Yongkang suddenly rushed up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother and cried.

"Aunt, please help your nephew..."

The Queen Mother was startled and said hurriedly, "What's wrong? What's there for a grown man to cry about? Let's talk it out."

But Qiao Yongkang pointed at his wife Yue and said, "You don't know, Queen Mother, this woman is a bitch! She has been having an affair with Bao Lao San who rushed behind my back for several years! I wanted to give her a chance for the sake of our three children, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself and is getting more and more excessive. On the way to Beijing this time, she didn't forget to fool around with Bao Lao San, Aunt..."

What?

Have an affair? ? ?

When these words came out, not only the Queen Mother and the ministers who were drinking with the palace were stunned, but also Qin Angong and his wife and everyone in the mansion were completely stunned.

Yan Shu couldn't help but widen her eyes and shouted in her heart, "Good guy!

This guy actually blew himself up!!!"

Tsk tsk, wonderful, it's coming!!!

When he looked at Yue again, he saw that she was also stunned, and even forgot to cry for a moment, staring at her husband with wide eyes.

Everyone in the palace looked at the couple as if they were stunned.

After a moment, it was still the wife of Duke Qin An who reacted first, and scolded her son with an embarrassed face, "What kind of drunken talk are you talking about! Why don't you shut up!!!"

Qiao Yongkang continued to yell, "I'm not talking nonsense! Why doesn't mother believe me? I have become a laughing stock in the world because of this woman, and you still don't believe me!!!"

This voice can be said to contain his grievances for many years. The wife of Duke Qin An was trembling when she was yelled.

After two sharp breaths, she came to her senses and was about to scold again.

However, before she could open her mouth, her son crawled to the king and cried, "Your Majesty, please listen to my advice. You can't have women from the Yue family. They are all more frivolous than each other. You must not have them!!!"

Seeing this, the wife of Duke Qin An shook and almost fainted.

Duke Qin An also hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "How can you offend Your Majesty like this? Come back honestly!"

At this time, the king said, "Wait a minute."

Yuwen Lan looked at the queen mother and said, "My cousin Yongkang has always been gentle and honest. Today, I think he is like this. Is there really something wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yongkang cried again, "Your Majesty understands me, only Your Majesty understands me! Your Majesty!!!"

The whole hall was trembling with her loud voice.

Those who didn't know thought something had happened to the emperor. The Queen Mother

patted her chest which was jumping with fear, and then nodded and said, "Yes, this child has been well behaved since childhood. Why is he suddenly like this today? Is he really wronged? In my opinion, let's ask someone to investigate."

After the voice fell, Yue paused and suddenly cried, "I am too ashamed to see anyone..."

As she said that, she actually ran straight to the pillar beside her, as if she was going to prove herself.

Fortunately, the guards stopped her and didn't let her really hit the pillar.

Seeing this, Yan Shu shook her head secretly -

she was crying, and I thought she was really wronged.

However, the Queen Mother probably didn't buy it.

Sure enough, seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately frowned and scolded, "Where is this place? How can you do this in front of His Majesty? If blood spills on the spot, whose eyes will be polluted?"

After these words came out, Yue was so scared that she dared not speak. Instead, her sister stepped forward and said to the Queen Mother, "Please calm down, my sister was also wronged, and I have so much pain in my heart that I can't say it..." The Queen Mother

sneered, "Whether it is wronged

or not, someone will clear her name!" Then she ordered the people around her, "Madame Zhuang, take someone to help Qin Angong investigate. Today's commotion has become so serious. Whether Akang's words are right or not, there must be an explanation!"

Madam Zhuang immediately agreed.

As soon as the voice fell, Yue, who was about to commit suicide, suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face pale, and it was hard to tell whether she was afraid or aggrieved.

The wife of Duke An of Qin was embarrassed and could only bow to the Queen Mother and say, "Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother."

Turning around, she saw her son kneeling in front of the king and crying loudly, with snot and tears all over the floor.

Everyone, "..."

Duke An of Qin suppressed his anger and dragged his daughter and son-in-law back.

He said to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, "This old minister has not taught his son well. I am sorry to have disturbed you today. I will take him back and teach him a lesson." After he

finished speaking, he dragged his son out of the hall.

Seeing this, the wife of Duke An of Qin could only kowtow to the Emperor and the Queen Mother and went down in disgrace.

After watching the excitement, the ministers also came to bid farewell to the Emperor and the Queen Mother and left the hall one after another.

Yan Shu was satisfied and took the opportunity to slip out of the hall, sighing in her heart that it was not in vain!

The wife of Duke Qin An had planned everything, but she had never expected this. Now she has really run into the empress dowager's gun.

It is estimated that Madam Zhuang will not be soft-hearted. I wonder how much more things she will find out.

Be prepared and continue to eat melons!

Hearing her voice, Yuwen Lan hurriedly raised his eyes to look for it, but unfortunately he only saw the skirt of a horse-faced skirt.

He smiled lightly.

I knew she would come.

~~

It must be said that as the empress dowager's capable deputy general, Madam Zhuang is still quite capable.

Although the Duke Qin An's mansion is thousands of miles away, she started directly from Yue's maid and had her arrested and severely interrogated.

But in less than half a day, the other party confessed to Yue's affair with the coachman Bao Lao San.

It was not until this time that Duke Qin An and his wife realized that what their son said was true.

It turned out that their daughter-in-law, whom they thought was virtuous and capable, had been hanging out with the servants in the mansion for more than two years.

And their son had discovered the affair between the two a year ago, but because he was afraid of being scolded by them, he dared not speak up and kept it in his heart until today.

The couple was furious and didn't know what to say for a while.

...

After helping the Qiao family find out the truth, the next morning, Nanny Zhuang returned to the palace to report to the Queen Mother.

Qin Angong and his wife also followed them into the palace to apologize to the king and the Queen Mother for what happened at the banquet yesterday.

At that time, Yuwen Lan was busy, so he asked the Queen Mother to meet the two on his behalf.

So the couple went directly to Ci'an Palace.

The two of them bowed to the Queen Mother. Duke An of Qin said with shame on his face, "I have not been strict in managing my household and have not taught my children well. Yesterday, I frightened the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and all the other ladies. This is indeed a crime.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Duke An of Qin's wife also said, "I am blind and have caused such a big joke in the mansion. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother cast a look at him from her throne and said, "Sister is also a smart person. How could you let such a woman bully Akang like that? Such an honest person usually cried so miserably yesterday. It's said that no one Make the decision for him... I'm not meddling in other people's business, but how are you two supposed to be parents?" Duke An of

Qin could only lower his head, "It's my incompetence, I'm

sorry to make the queen mother laugh." Duke An of Qin's wife also lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry to make the queen laugh." As soon as

she finished speaking, she heard Nanny Zhuang say, "The maid of the Yue family has already pointed out that the two of them had an affair, and the coachman has also confessed his guilt. I wonder what to do next?" The

queen mother looked at the couple and said, "This is your family affair, you can go back and deal with it."

Duke An of Qin and his wife hurriedly agreed.

But the empress dowager added, "However, in my opinion, it is ridiculous that the adulterer dared to touch the mistress and trample on the face of the mistress. He must not be forgiven. As for Yue..."

The empress dowager looked at her cousin, smiled sarcastically, and said, "I think you like her very much. It's up to you to decide whether to stay or leave." Hearing

this, the wife of Duke Qin An wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

However, she could only endure the burning pain on her face and replied, "It is my fault that I did not know people well and made the queen laugh. I will go back and ask Kang'er to write a divorce letter." The queen

nodded and told them to leave. The next day, Yan Shu woke up and heard the news about Qin Angong's family.

——It is said that the Qiao family asked the housekeeper to report to the Jingzhao Prefecture and put the coachman who had touched the mistress in prison. The Qiao prince wrote a divorce letter and asked someone to send Yue and her sister back to her mother's home thousands of miles away, and they had no contact from then on. The Qin Angong couple originally doubted the bloodline of their grandchildren, but Qiao Yongkang was kind enough to keep the three children by his side. However, the matter was known to the world. The three children had become a stain on the Qiao family because of their mother. Lady Qin An was very cautious and dared not show off. She even fell ill in anger. After hearing the news, the Queen Mother sent a doctor to check their pulse. ... After hearing the news, Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the Queen Mother was the biggest winner this time! However, after sighing, she suddenly realized a very important problem - damn, she hadn't even finished her new story, and the whole story was already known to the world. In this way, her story had no suspense at all... How could it be done! Hey! Didn't I write for half a day the day before yesterday in vain? ! ! I was so angry that I vomited blood!!! Yan Shu was depressed for a while, and suddenly thought of an important question - that Prince Qiao had been cuckolded for so long, and he had been enduring it when he was in the northwest, why did he suddenly get drunk and explode yesterday? Tsk, why do I feel like there is some conspiracy? ... ~~ Today was a bit busy, and when Yuwen Lan stepped into the Ganlu Palace, Yan Shu had already finished bathing. Seeing the beauty's rosy cheeks and red lips, the king was naturally moved, so he hurried to get dressed and bathe, and then carried her to the bed. Just as he was about to kiss her, she stopped him with her hand and said sternly, "I have a question for your majesty." Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, "What is it?" But she said, "I heard that the prince of Qin Angong has always been honest and simple, and he doesn't like to drink. How could he get drunk the day before yesterday when your majesty was still here?" Huh? Yuwen Lan paused quietly. Why did she think of asking this question at this time? He said calmly, "Maybe he was really depressed. After all, people's patience is limited. One day, he can't bear it anymore and will explode. Just imagine, the adulterous couple was still fooling around on the way to Beijing. How uncomfortable must he be? It happened that there was wine that day, so he couldn't help but drink too much." This seems to make some sense. But Yan Shu still felt that it was a coincidence that Qiao Yongkang exploded at the palace banquet when he could have exploded at any other time. So she looked at him again and asked suspiciously, "Really?" Yuwen Lan nodded calmly, "Of course it's true, would I get him drunk on purpose?" Yan Shu thought to herself that she was suspicious. Tsk, it's not that she hadn't thought about it. He guessed it was Qiao Yongkang after listening to her story, and for the sake of their cousins, he got him drunk on purpose to get him to tell the truth, and then helped him have a reason to divorce his wife. But then she thought again, is he that kind? Yuwen Lan listened silently, and nodded silently and said yes. He really wasn't that kind. This time, he just saw that the wife of Duke Qin An was overreaching, and wanted to teach her a lesson. So he helped Qiao Yongkang make a choice. But it was a bit strange, why did she care so much about this? She was asked to watch the excitement today, isn't she happy? So he tried to ask, "Why are you entangled in this issue? What impact did Qiao Yongkang's drunkenness and chaos in the palace have on you?" But she looked angry and said, "Of course it had an impact." "The new story that I mentioned to Your Majesty the day before yesterday, I didn't expect it to coincide with the story of the Prince of Qin An. Now it is estimated that the whole capital has spread it. In this case, doesn't my story have no advantage? It's meaningless to publish it." - You know, the biggest feature of her story is that it is shocking, so it must be a big melon. Who wants to see hindsight! Yuwen Lan, "..." I didn't expect there was such a benefit. He had to comfort her, "But now that it's like this, then don't publish this book first, and publish other ones later." But she still pouted, "That's what you said, but it's so hard for me to write a book!" Tsk, if she had known this, she might as well lie in bed and sleep for half a day. It 's so tiring to write it and it's all wasted! It's annoying just to think about it! Listening silently in his heart, Yuwen Lan couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Otherwise, give her the money for the storybook? But before he could open his mouth, he heard her say, "This matter was caused by your majesty when you entertained him, so your majesty should be more or less responsible for my wasting a storybook?" Yuwen Lan, "..." He knew it. This is a master of deceiving people, so he still needs to worry about it? He then asked, "Then what do you want?" But she rolled her eyes and smiled, "I don't have any idea either... but, Your Majesty, why don't you give me the money I lost from the book." Yuwen Lan. "..." As expected, she still wanted money. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will give you 100 taels of silver, just as if you bought this book, how about it?"

Tsk, it has to be given anyway, why not let him take the initiative.

In this way, she will no longer have any resentment, right?

Who knows she said, "I have spent 120 taels for a storybook recently..."

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What?

Is she really arguing with him so carefully?

Fortunately, she said immediately afterwards, "For your Majesty's sake, I don't want this small change, but... can your Majesty promise me one thing?"

After she finished speaking, she blinked her almond eyes, smiled, and came to him.

Yuwen Lan could feel a fresh fragrance coming, and he could feel her warmth as he walked closer, so he took the opportunity to hold her and said hoarsely, "Anything else?"

But she smiled and said, "I want to go out of the palace to eat delicious food..."

- Ahem, on the way back to Jifu Building last time, she saw a Qingzhou restaurant on Sifang Street, and it looked like there were many people eating there.

That's the taste of her hometown, and she has wanted to eat it for a long time!

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Besides money, it's food.

He raised his eyebrows, gently scratched the tip of her nose and said, "You've been thinking about leaving the palace all day, and your heart has become wild..."

Before he finished speaking, a kiss was printed on his lips.

It was light and shallow, like a dragonfly touching the water.

But it made his heart flutter.

Yuwen Lan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was about to chase after her.

Who knew she would pull back, cover her lips and say, "You have to agree to it..."

But before she could finish her words, she was back in his arms.

He smiled and said, "You are the first one to make conditions to me."

After he finished speaking, he pulled her hand away and finally kissed her.

...

Well, since she is the first one, he will be more relaxed.

No matter.

~~

On the second night, there was no meal in Ganlu Palace.

While others were having dinner, Yan Shu had already changed her clothes and left the palace with the king in a carriage.

The purpose of this trip was very clear, which was to go to the Qingzhou Restaurant on Sifang Street.

Sifang Street was originally a busy street, and now it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

The two got off the car and saw the lights and the prosperous scene.

After walking a few steps, they arrived at the Qingzhou Restaurant. At this time, the restaurant was serving customers and was very lively.

Yan Shu paid a high price to book a private room. After the two of them sat down, they asked the waiter to order.

Since they were having Qingzhou cuisine today, it was natural for Yan Shu to order.

She had taken a liking to the restaurant when she saw it just now, so she ordered several signature dishes that were available on every table, such as sweet and sour carp, crispy pork intestines, and deep-fried double crispy fish. She glanced at

the menu and saw that there was even Ande's braised chicken, so she hurriedly ordered one as well.

Not long after, the dishes were delivered.

Yan Shu couldn't wait any longer, and immediately asked Yu Wenlan to start eating.

"My husband, please try this sweet and sour carp. If this dish is well made, it means that this restaurant is very authentic,"

Yu Wenlan hummed, and stretched out his chopsticks to taste it.

Well, the fish skin is golden and crispy, and the inside is still tender and tender, with a sweet and sour sauce, and it tastes good.

Yuwen Lan took a sip of tea to clear his mouth, but saw Yan Shu had already tasted the fried pork intestines.

Well, the skin of the pork intestines had a crispy feeling from being fried, but the inside was already melt-in-the-mouth, fragrant and delicious, and very good with rice.

Seeing this, Yuwen Lan followed her and tasted the pork intestines.

But before he could swallow it, he saw her eating the fried double crispy dish.

Wow, the chicken gizzards and pork belly have been sliced ​​into flower shapes, so that they can better absorb the seasoning. The chef has mastered the heat, and the taste is crispy, tender and smooth, salty and refreshing, and it is indeed authentic.

The last highlight is their Ande's braised chicken.

The chicken is bright red and oily all over, and the meat is off the bones with a slight pull. When she put it into her mouth again, she could feel the fragrance penetrated her bones, and it was extremely soft and tasty.

Yan Shu excitedly said to Yuwen Lan, "Your Majesty, please try it. This is the braised chicken from Ande. It is very authentic!"

Yuwen Lan saw this and pulled a piece of chicken into his mouth. After tasting it, he nodded and said, "It is indeed good." After

saying that, he looked at Yan Shu again, but saw that her eyes were slightly wet.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Tasting the taste of her hometown, she was so excited?

Yes, Yan Shu had mixed feelings at this time.

In the past, because her father was honest, the family was not very wealthy. Every time she wanted to eat braised chicken, she had to wait until her father received his salary before she could eat it.

And the last time she ate braised chicken was after she was selected as a beauty and before leaving home.

That day, her parents bought her four braised chickens at once, thinking that she would never see them again in her life...

Fortunately, her parents, brother and grandmother have all come to the capital, and they can see each other from time to time.

...

Yuwen Lan, who had listened to the story silently, was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke to the outside of the door, "Two more braised chickens."

Seeing her surprised face, he said, "If you like it, eat more, it's okay."

It's just braised chicken?

He takes care of it.

So, after eating all the braised chickens, Yan Shu's belly was already round and she had to hold the wall to get out.

But tonight was very happy, she even packed another one to take back for Rendong to try.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, it was time to go home.

Yan Shu stood up with Yuwen Lan and was about to leave the private room.

This private room was located on the second floor, facing the street.

At this moment, she glanced out the window and saw an extremely gorgeous carriage parked on the side of the road.

The carriage was covered with jasper and the wheels were inlaid with brass, which was truly magnificent.

However, this style looked a little familiar.

Just as he was wondering, he saw another group of people coming out of Shengheju on the side of the road. The one

walking in front was a woman who looked familiar.

Yan Shu hurriedly called Yuwen Lan, "My husband, is that the eldest princess?"

The eldest princess?

Yuwen Lan also cast his eyes out the window.

Although the woman's clothes were not as gorgeous as when she entered the palace, he was very sure that it was Yuwen Yan.

However, there was another man beside her at this time. He was tall, his hair was slightly brown, and his high nose and deep eyes could be vaguely seen.

The two came to the front of the carriage, got on the carriage together, and walked forward.

He was just suspicious, but heard Yan Shu exclaimed, "Does the eldest princess have a new favorite? Why doesn't he look like someone from the Central Plains?"

System, [Yes, the eldest princess's new favorite is the top handsome man in Ruyifang, Yanglou Street, named Pan Zai'an, from Rouran.

Yan Shu's eyes widened. [Ruyifang on Yanglou Street? Isn't that the famous duck restaurant? ]
