My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons [MTL]

Chapter 39-40

Chapter 39

After the incident at Songhe Academy, Concubine Ning's mother Cui and Concubine Ning's aunt Zhao found an opportunity to visit her in the palace together.

In this incident, apart from Bi Jinghuai, the head of the academy who had already been beheaded, and a bunch of corrupt officials, the Zhao family was the one most affected.

Concubine Ning was also concerned about her cousin Jiang Mingzhi who had been beaten 60 times. When she saw her aunt at this time, she immediately asked, "How is Mingzhi doing now?"

The words were just out of my mouth, but my aunt Zhao immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Tomorrow is still not going to the ground, your uncle and I asked the eldest princess to ask the imperial doctor to see him, but the imperial doctor said that he is afraid that he will be lame in the future... I have a good tomorrow, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!"

The more Mrs. Zhao talked, the more aggrieved she became, but the board was beaten by someone today, and it was in the palace again, so she could only whimper softly, for fear that others would hear of it and cause trouble.

Concubine Ning said angrily, "Knowing that he tore up the books of that kid from the Li family at most, and he was beaten by that kid, yet His Majesty's treatment like this is really too much."

Her mother, Cui Shi, nodded as soon as she said this, "Isn't that what you said, Minger made a mistake first, but it's not a big mistake, not to mention that kids at this age are more mischievous, please apologize to them It's okay if you don't? Now it's like this, what should I do!"

After the words fell, Aunt Zhao cried even louder.

Concubine Ning became even more angry, and snorted, "If it wasn't for Li Yanshu's natal family, why did this happen? She must have fanned the flames in His Majesty's ear, making Mingzhi look like this! Oh, her younger brother is the son of Wan Jin. You can't even touch your body, so other people's children deserve to be disabled?"

Hearing this, Cui sighed deeply, and Zhao could only wipe away tears.

At this moment, I saw a palace official reporting outside the door, "Your Majesty, there is an order from the Empress Dowager."

When Cui and Zhao heard this, they immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to make a sound.

Concubine Ning also restrained her expression, and asked, "What's the matter?"

But the palace man outside the door said again, "The day after tomorrow will be the Shangsi Festival. The Empress Dowager asks the masters to get ready, and then I will go to the Tangquan Palace on Diecui Mountain to take a bath and have an outing."

Diecui Mountain is a royal mountain forest located in the suburbs of Beijing. Because a hot spring flows from the mountain, Emperor Gaozu built a spring palace here.

Every Shangsi Festival, the common people will go to the waterside to bathe and go for an outing, and the emperor's family will go to this Tangquan Palace to bathe and pray for blessings.

Concubine Ning heard the words and said, "Understood."

But when she turned her head and was about to talk to her mother and aunt again, she paused suddenly.

take a bath?

She raised her eyebrows and suddenly had an idea.

~~

At the same time, Yan Shu also received the news of going to Tangquan Palace.

Tsk, hot springs are not available everywhere, and in addition to her low status in the past, she was not allowed to go out of the palace every time, so this is the first time in her life to go to a hot spring.
