Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 70: No wonder such a shameless person can become famous!

Looking at the affectionate couple, the emperor couldn't bear to look away.

Xiao Jin promised me that he would go to the border after the Dragon Boat Festival. Is he willing to leave like this?
The emperor couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart, as he was the only child left in the world by his beloved woman's biological sister.

I love Xiao Jin because I love everyone in him, but I can't bear to part with my own son even more.

If Xiao Jin doesn't go to the border, how can my beloved Yier return to Shangjing?

The Emperor raised his eyes to look at his beloved woman, while Concubine De was looking at her nephew and his wife with a smile on her face.

There was a warm light in her eyes, as if she was admiring a beautiful painting.

The look Defei gave Xiao Jin and his wife was particularly gentle, and the corners of her eyebrows raised as if a spring breeze was blowing across delicate petals.

The emperor was deeply moved. She was almost forty years old, but she was still so beautiful and fascinating to him.

He is her king, but she is also his inseparable emotion.

Although he was the emperor, he didn't even dare to reveal his beloved to the world for so many years, for fear that others would know that he loved her!

Wen Qingwan was so happy eating the delicious food her husband fed her and listening to the piano music that sounded like the sound of nature.

Every palace banquet is always accompanied by competitions between the young masters and young ladies from various families. The person playing the piano this time is the eldest granddaughter of the Fan family, a prominent family in Jiangnan.

She is the niece of Concubine Xian and the most ideal daughter-in-law in Concubine Xian's mind.

But Fan Yuxuan doesn't like the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince doesn't like her either. The person he likes is Wen Mingzhu.

Fan Yuxuan sat in the center of the hall and played the piano softly. The clear and melodious sound of the piano lingered throughout the palace.

At the end of the song, the Emperor and Concubine Xian both rewarded Fan Yuxuan generously, and then other young ladies from aristocratic families came on stage.

But no one played better than Fan Yuxuan. Just when everyone thought that this year's Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet would end like this.

"Your Majesty, Empress, I have heard that Concubine Wen is an excellent zither player. I am quite interested in the sound of the zither. I wonder if I can have the honor of listening to a piece of music during this Dragon Boat Festival?"

The concubine spoke softly, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity on her face.

In fact, she really wanted to tear Wen Mingzhu apart in her heart. The position of the prince's concubine was obviously hers, but the prince insisted on leaving it to Wen Mingzhu.

Her father had no choice but to send her to the palace, and she only slept with the emperor four times in the four years she was there!

Although the emperor is handsome, he is forty-five years old after all, while the prince is not even thirty years old.

The emperor took a look at the concubine but didn't recognize her. There were many women in his harem and he really couldn't remember them.

The Queen smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Since the concubine has such a wish, then please ask Concubine Wen to play a song."

"Father, Mother, Concubine Wen's piano skills are indeed outstanding. I'm sure you will be amazed." The Third Prince's wife said sincerely.

She hated Wen Mingzhu even more. The third prince liked Wen Mingzhu, so all the women in his backyard either had eyes or noses like Wen Mingzhu.

There were several other names that contained the word "Zhu". The Third Prince called them "Zhu'er Zhu'er" all day long, which made her so angry that her heart ached.

"It is said that Concubine Wen could sing at the age of two, write poems at the age of three, and became famous in the capital at the age of ten. I would like to see her for myself."

Concubine De said softly that the Fifth Prince had liked Concubine Xian's niece since he was a child, so the mother and son never cared whether the young lady of a certain family was outstanding or not.

Ever since Minister Wen suddenly wanted to marry his eldest daughter to Jin'er, Concubine De sent secret guards to investigate Wen Qingwan.

The investigation was shocking, as it turned out that Minister Wen's family was bullying her nephew's wife.

The second daughter of the Wen family could only write a few bad poems and sing a few unknown songs. She took credit for everything else from her elder sister. Whenever she was asked to paint, Wen Qingwan would prepare it for her to show off. Whenever she was asked to play the piano, she would say she wanted to sing and let her elder sister play the piano.

When Wen Qingwan was attracted by the beauty, she felt a burning gaze. She knew which concubine of the emperor was looking at her, but she never looked up.

Only when she heard Concubine De's voice did she look over. Concubine De now looked much younger than she remembered.

A few years later, she had become extremely old. On the day the emperor passed away, Defei also committed suicide for love.

At that time, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were very deep, but she still had her charm. One could tell at a glance that she was an unrivaled beauty when she was young.

Seeing that Concubine De was at most 27 or 28 years old at this time, Wen Qingwan sincerely felt that Concubine De was a peerless beauty.

"Concubine Wen, please come on stage and play a piece of music. If you play well, I will reward you handsomely." The emperor said in a good mood.

You can ignore anyone's words, but you can never ignore the words of the person closest to your heart.

"Your Majesty, Empress, and all the ladies, speaking of playing the piano, my elder sister is also very good. How about I sing a song and ask her to accompany me?"

Concubine Wen knelt humbly at the emperor's feet and softly expressed her admiration for her sister.

"Tsk~" The usually good-tempered Concubine De was so angry that she couldn't help but sneer.

Concubine De never thought that Concubine Wen would dare to ask the wife of the First Marquis to accompany her today.

No wonder such a shameless person can become famous!

The emperor's eyes fell on Concubine De with gentleness and affection, and he saw that she was as angry as a puffer fish.

She has always been cautious in her words and dignified in her behavior. She must have been angry today. If you dare to anger my beloved woman, I will kill you in the future.

"That's right."

The emperor looked calmly at Wen Mingzhu who was kneeling on the ground. He finally took a straight look at the woman who had bewitched his sons.

Humph! It's nothing special.

No one saw a golden light flashing in the hall. It was Wen Mingzhu throwing a favor card to the emperor, but it was bounced away by the emperor's anger.

"Excuse me, which song would Concubine Wen want to sing?" Wen Qingwan asked neither arrogantly nor humbly. If the emperor hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have wanted to bother with Wen Mingzhu.

Her clear voice startled Wen Mingzhu. In her memory, Wen Qingwan was well-behaved, timid and docile. When had she dared to speak so loudly?

Although Wen Qingwan's appearance is also outstanding, compared with her angelic beauty, Wen Qingwan's appearance can be ignored.

However, at this moment, Wen Qingwan, wearing the crown and clothes of a marquis's wife, had a completely different temperament from before.

She looked composed, with a calm and peaceful expression on her face.

The whole person exudes a noble and elegant temperament, like a blooming orchid.

This change surprised and shocked Wen Mingzhu. She had never thought that the once unknown Wen Qingwan would have such a big change.

She is as elegant as a bright pearl, shining brightly and impossible to ignore.

Is she really a softie who can be manipulated by anyone?

Could it be that the temperament will change due to different status?
But she married a domestic violence man!

How can she be so elegant even after being subjected to long-term domestic violence?
Didn’t the domestic violence man abuse her?
This... is so fucking unscientific!
Wen Mingzhu was shocked!
"Concubine Wen, Madam Xiao is asking you a question?"
