The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 766: The concubine is not a concubine

The emperor was old, and his appetite was not good when summer came, so he only ate a little at noon.

After the meal, Li Deming brought a plate of cut watermelon. The small pieces of red watermelon exuded an attractive taste. The emperor asked: "What is this?"

Li Deming smiled and said: "This is a watermelon. Doctor Pei sent it. He said it was grown in his wife's own farm. It has just ripened. I sent it to the palace for your majesty to taste."

The eunuch who tested the poison tasted it and said it tasted so delicious that Li Deming couldn't help but salivate just looking at it.

The emperor picked up a piece and chewed it slowly.

He had never eaten anything delicious, but even so, he thought this watermelon was particularly delicious.

After a while, the emperor ate the whole plate.

The summer heat has dissipated a lot.

The emperor was obviously in a good mood and said, "Pei Zhan is interested."

Li Deming received a lot of favors from Pei Zhan overtly and secretly. Although he didn't give anything valuable, they were what he needed most. He had no children, so money was not that important.

Li Deming had a good impression of Pei Zhan. When he heard the emperor's praise of Pei Zhan, he followed suit and said, "Young Imperial Physician Pei has always been thinking about Your Majesty."

The emperor held the beads in his right hand and said, "I won't reward him with anything when he gets married. You go pick something for Tao Zhen."

It’s no wonder that the emperor called Tao Zhen by his first name. He was really influenced by Pei Zhan. Pei Zhan’s mantra was, whatever Tao Zhen says is good. Tao Zhen said...

Very useless.

It was difficult for the emperor not to remember Tao Zhen's name.

Li Deming went to the House of Internal Affairs to pick out some things and sent them to the Pei family.

Before Pei Zhan got married, there were different opinions around it, which seemed to outsiders.Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan still had an unholy love affair, but it was not very honorable after all. Many people gossiped secretly. But now that the emperor has rewarded them with gifts, does it mean that the emperor also approves of it?
Then they should stop talking nonsense in the future, after all, His Majesty has approved it.

And everyone's attention was quickly diverted.

I heard that Pei Zhan got something as a reward from the emperor.It's a fruit called watermelon.

Everyone was curious, isn't it just fruit? The emperor had never seen or eaten anything, so how could he treat Pei Zhan differently because of a fruit, unless the fruit was delicious?

What kind of fruit is that?
People began to inquire quietly.

Tao Zhen went to the fields with a steward from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The father-in-law in charge felt strange looking at the watermelons all over the floor.

Tao Zhen smiled and said: "They are all fresh. This fruit must be eaten fresh. Father-in-law, try it."

The steward father-in-law sat in the shade and took a bite of cold watermelon, feeling that the heat all over his body was gone.

Sure enough, there is nothing bad about anything that tastes delicious to His Majesty's mouth.

Tao Zhen reached an agreement with her father-in-law about watermelons, and she would send someone to bring fresh ones to the palace every day.The price given by the palace is also quite reasonable.

The emperor also asked people to give some to the queen. Concubine Gao, the prince and the princesses all sent some.

Even if these things are expensive, because they save transportation costs, they are much cheaper than fruits and vegetables supplied from various places.

So, on this day, many people in the capital were given watermelons.

Concubine Gao looked at the attractive red watermelon cut into pieces. Even though she hated Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan, she couldn't help but pick it up and take a bite.

As expected, it's delicious as people say.

Concubine Gao's eyes darkened and she was not very happy. On the one hand, she was afraid of hating Tao Zhen, but on the other hand, she felt that Tao Zhen was indeed a talent. If she stayed with Yan Baiqi, it would be a big deal for Yan Baiqi. beneficial.only……

Concubine Gao looked at the remaining watermelon on the plate, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes. She did not regret what she had done. Tao Zhen was too difficult to control and too smart. Yan Baiqi was firmly controlled by her. This pair of Yan Baiqi Not a good thing.If things were allowed to develop, sooner or later it would be irreversible, and Yan Baiqi would be killed by her sooner or later.

Concubine Gao asked: "Are there any more watermelons?"

"Back to my queen, a little bit."

Concubine Gong sent two here and one more.

Concubine Gao's beautiful and delicate face showed a hint of calculation. She said, "Send one to the Second Prince's Mansion so that Concubine Tao can have a good taste."

Let Tao Ling see why she can be so stupid even though they are both sisters.

What happened last time when Niu Guishan happened was like that, and she almost got burned. If she hadn't taken action in time, someone might have used Niu Guishan to bite back.

One is too stupid and the other is too smart. Concubine Gao finds it difficult to choose a daughter-in-law that she likes. Fortunately, Tao Ling is just a concubine.

She is known as a concubine outside, but Yan Baiqi has not even been crowned king, so what kind of concubine is she?
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is not young anymore. Isn't it time to choose a wife for him?"

The eldest maid next to Concubine Gao said.

Concubine Gao nodded. At that time, Yan Baiqi wanted to marry Tao Zhen. Tao Zhen was not from a low background and could be a real wife. However, Concubine Gao was unwilling and kept pressing. In the end, she reluctantly gave him a " Concubine Gao knew that Tao Zhen was taller than the sky and would never be made small by others.

Sure enough, not long after, she agreed to marry Pei Huan and move the Pei family. Originally, Concubine Gao thought she was a mantis stalking the cicada and moved the Pei family. The Qin family took advantage of it.But I didn’t expect that things would become out of control later on...

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Tao Ling was originally very happy because Concubine Gao brought watermelon from the palace and gave it to her. However, knowing that the watermelon was grown by Tao Zhen, she completely lost her appetite and even felt a little sick.

Concubine Gao is simply disgusting herself.

Tao Ling tightened the veil in her hand.

And what worries her even more is yet to come.

Yan Baiqi is about to choose a concubine.

Now that she is the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion, she has long forgotten about the title of Princess.

Now the message from the imperial concubine made her uneasy. She was indeed the one who found Niu Guishan. It was just that she was too anxious and panicked at the time. She was too afraid of losing Yan Baiqi and wanted to get rid of Tao Zhen too much.

But the imperial concubine couldn't dislike her because of this, and she couldn't help it.

Tao Ling panicked. She desperately wanted to find support, so she returned to the Tao family and wanted to discuss it with her family members. If the Tao family still wanted to fight for a place, they could not retreat. If Yan Baiqi married the princess, What else happened to her?

But the Tao family didn't feel Tao Ling's scruples.

Tao Qian was not at home, and Mrs. Tao didn't have much reaction when she heard what she said.

"You should have been prepared a long time ago. His Highness is not young anymore. He will marry his wife sooner or later."

Mrs. Tao said: "Back then, that damn girl Tao Zhen didn't even ask for the position of a head wife, let alone you. You didn't listen to me and wanted to marry His Highness. How can this be so easy?"

Mrs. Tao is also a little worried. If Yan Baiqi marries someone who is easy to get along with, Tao Ling's life will not be difficult, but if she is not easy to get along with, Tao Ling's life will be difficult, even though everyone now says that she is the second prince. Concubine, Mrs. Tao's face was burning with panic. The second prince has not yet been crowned a prince. In the end, Tao Ling is just a concubine, so what kind of concubine is she?

Mrs. Tao sighed: "Looking on the bright side, if the second prince marries his first wife, I think it will be soon to become the prince. By then, you will be regarded as a legitimate concubine."

A legitimate concubine?

If her own mother hadn't said it, Tao Ling would have felt like she was being slapped in the face.
