After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!
Chapter 70: Inexplicably Embarrassed
Zhang Youwei watched me eat the cakes on the table and immediately forgot about scolding her son.
He said to me: "My dear, is my cake delicious?"
I didn't know whether to swallow or spit out the cake in my mouth. I felt like this was a life-or-death question for me. No matter how I answered, it felt like a trap.
Zhang Youwei blinked her big, kazilan eyes, full of anticipation. I looked at this scene and immediately chewed and swallowed the cake in my mouth.
Then he immediately said: "The cakes in the Queen's Palace are the best, better than those outside!"
Zhang Youwei smiled and said: "Of course, this is the cook I have been looking for for a long time.
It took a lot of effort to get it into the palace, so it tastes good.
There is no such thing outside my palace!"
Wen Yichen looked at his mother showing the shy expression of a little girl in front of me, and immediately said: "Mom, please stop teasing Qingqing!"
Zhang Youwei gently hit Wen Yichen twice and said, "Children should stay out of adult matters. Otherwise, this is not a qualified child!"
Wen Yichen sighed deeply and said, "Mother, I'm not a child anymore! I'm almost an adult!"
Zhang Youwei pouted and said unhappily: "You are a child just because I said you are a child. I am your mother, don't be stubborn with me!"
Wen Yichen could only smile bitterly.
I was watching from the side and thought Zhang Youwei was quite cute. Her attitude towards different people was completely different!
Zhang Youwei said to me: "If you want to eat, just come to my palace. Anyway, the ingredients and cooks you need are always there.
If you want to eat, just come directly!"
I didn't know how to answer for a moment. Wen Yichen said angrily: "Mother, aren't you pushing Qingqing into the fire pit?
She often comes to your bedroom, and others must suspect that we are deliberately letting her get close to us behind her back.
By then, those with ulterior motives will plot against us again!"
Zhang Youwei rolled her eyes at Wen Yichen and said, "What do you know? I was the first to tell others that she and I are close. Bullying her is the same as bullying me.
By doing this, it will be easier for others to bully her!
How come you can't figure out such a simple question?"
Zhang Youwei immediately gave Wen Yichen another order: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Otherwise, you will be punished to copy books!"
Wen Yichen had no choice but to shut his mouth silently!
Zhang Youwei said to me again: "How is it? If you want to eat, just come to Huiyue Pavilion!"
I was still wailing in my heart. What right did I have to speak now? Isn't it possible for me to just agree?
I nodded immediately and said, "Madam Zhang is right. I will definitely come when I am free!"
Zhang Youwei continued, "In my palace, there are only you, me and him! There is no such thing as empty names. Don't call them that in my palace!"
I still said worriedly: "Isn't this against the rules? I'm afraid people outside will talk nonsense!"
Zhang Youwei laughed and said, "In my palace, I have the final say. Of course, it's when there's no one in my palace.
You can definitely say that. I just don't believe that these people in my palace dare to go out and gossip about it!
If that happens, I will make them pay the price!"
I saw that Zhang Youwei's scary side was about to show up again. I immediately said, "Okay. Then what should I call you the best?"
Just thinking about it, Zhang Youwei blurted out: "Just call me mother!"
My cake suddenly lost its flavor and I didn't know whether to swallow it or not. I choked myself when I wasn't paying attention!
Wen Yichen immediately came over and patted me on the back, then breathed a sigh of relief, and I felt relieved!
Wen Yichen immediately gave me another cup of hot tea and motioned for me to drink it, saying: "Eat slowly. Even if it tastes good, you should eat it slowly. Otherwise, it will be bad! Choking is bad for your health!"
Zhang Youwei was standing next to him, smiling like an auntie, and said, "Did I disturb you two? How about I leave first?"
At this moment, I was speechless. But now was not the time to show it.
Wen Yichen couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Look, you've choked Qingqing with your words!"
Zhang Youwei was not angry, and even said jokingly: "He knows how to protect his wife at such a young age. This is progress!"
Wen Yichen wanted to say something, but Zhang Youwei glared at him. He could only sigh.
Zhang Youwei felt that he was too noisy, so she smiled and said to Wen Yichen: "The flowers and plants in the yard have not been watered today. Chen'er, go and help your mother water them!"
Wen Yichen didn't dare to refute, so he had to push his wheelchair out!
At this time, Zhang Youwei and I were the only ones left in the room, and I didn't know what to do for a moment.
With Wen Yichen here, I could at least help out, but now he's gone. I'm alone, and I don't know what to say.
Zhang Youwei also understood what I was thinking, and immediately said: "Don't be shy here. Just treat this place as your own home. The emperor doesn't come here often anyway.
In the past ten years, few people have come to visit me.
Just relax. No one will gossip about you no matter what you do! "
I nodded and started eating the cake.
Zhang Youwei seemed to have some social incompetence and wouldn't let anything go unanswered.
She immediately tried to speak, so I pretended to look around.
The decoration here is just ordinary. It doesn't look like a place where a concubine should live. Everything seems too ordinary.
Zhang Youwei thought I had taken a fancy to something in her palace again.
He immediately dragged me around and said, "Come on! If you like anything, just bring it back! I don't need it now anyway. I just like collecting it, and I'll buy it when I want it!"
I looked at her suspiciously, thinking curiously: This woman really loves to talk! She is quite generous when it comes to talking, letting me take whatever I value.
Li Jing is not like that. She is very stingy. She is very careful with the things in her room and won't let me take them.
As I thought about it, I made a disgusted expression.
Zhang Youwei thought I despised her things because they were worthless.
Zhang Youwei immediately pulled me aside and said, "Don't look at the things I have here. They look ordinary. If you look closely, you can see that they are different. People who understand know that they are priceless.
But when I bought it, I saw that it was ordinary, but it would give me a surprising feeling inadvertently.
For example, if you look at this ink stick, it looks similar to the ones outside. But when you write with the ink stick, you will find that the words written with it have a glitter inside.
And it won't be easy to bloom even if it gets wet! I spent a lot of time collecting these things!
Just take whatever you like. If you feel embarrassed, just tell me and I can get it for you!"
I didn't expect that Zhang Youwei actually thought I looked down on these things.
I said awkwardly, "I don't think the things in this palace are worthless. I'm just curious about the things you took the trouble to collect. I'll just take them away. Don't you think it's bad?"
Zhang Youwei smiled and said, "I liked it very much when I bought it. It has been a long time since I used it. It can't play its value with me.
If you like it, I guess you want it because you want it to be useful. Doesn't this make it play its value?
Why not do this? Why would you think it's bad?
Besides, you are not an outsider. We will be a family in the future!"
I didn't want to continue talking about this at all. It was totally difficult to continue talking about this. Zhang Youwei kept bringing up the issue between me and Wen Yichen, which I couldn't answer either.
I also smiled and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others love! This is something you like, and I don't want to take it away from others!"
Zhang Youwei thought for a moment and said, "That's indeed the truth. If that's the case, come and spend more time with me after you get the things!"
I have been a widower for more than ten years, and now someone finally comes to accompany me!"
I wiped the sweat off my forehead with a handkerchief and said, "But the Third Prince has been with you all these years!"
Zhang Youwei waved her hand and said, "He's been like a taciturn person all day and doesn't like to talk to me. This is totally meaningless.
Qingqing, you are different. We are both girls, and we have a lot of common topics!"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Is it because you didn't find a topic he likes? I think he likes to talk a lot!
Every time I chat with him, he can talk a lot! ”
Zhang Youwei shook her head and said, "It's different. You are of the same age, so naturally you have a lot of topics to talk about. He naturally has special feelings for you.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to talk to you so freely!"
I shook my head, but Zhang Youwei patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I know my son! He must be interested in you!"
I didn't say anything. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Zhang Youwei was also anxious!
Zhang Youwei immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard that you have made great contributions at the border! What do you think of the border?
Isn’t it pretty good? "
I shook my head and said, "Not good! Life there is too hard! It's too cold in winter. It's totally unfriendly to people from our Dayun Dynasty!"
Zhang Youwei smiled bitterly and said: "After all, it is a border. The environment here is naturally not very good. But those people have worked hard.
I heard you were injured, are you okay now?"
I nodded and told him everything that had happened.
Zhang Youwei caught me blocking the sword for Wen Yichen.
Zhang Youwei said with a gleam in her eyes: "I didn't expect this kid to be so lucky. He actually let the lucky star block the sword for him!
Fortunately, it was rescued, otherwise it would be hard to say!
I am so grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Chen'er would not be able to come back from the battlefield!"
I waved my hand and continued: "It's just a small favor! He also helped me a lot!"
Zhang Youwei thought for a moment and said, "I have no way to repay this life-saving grace, so what's the rest of the sentence?"
I also said very simply: "Promise me your body!"
Zhang Youwei's mouth was almost stretched to her ears when she smiled, and then she said: "You saved our Chen'er, why don't you let Chen'er pledge himself to you!
Anyway, he is still clean now. You won’t lose out if you take it now!"
I was petrified on the spot, and no one told me that Zhang Youwei would be so stubborn and never stop saying shocking things!
I said awkwardly, "This is not good. This would make it an arranged marriage. It's not good for him!"
Zhang Youwei was about to speak when Wen Yichen came back from watering the plants. He was also confused when he heard that. He didn't expect his mother to say such shocking words.
Wen Yichen immediately said: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!
Now my reputation outside is bad. Being with Qingqing will only hurt her.
Mother, tell me honestly, do you want me to be the emperor, so you said this? Do you want me to have a better chance of winning the throne! "
Zhang Youwei was not angry either. She sighed and said, "Chen'er, whether you become the emperor or not has no impact on me. If you want to be the emperor, I can help you become the emperor myself!
If you say you don't want to be one, I can also make you not be one.
As for Qingqing, mother just thought that you two were quite suitable and wanted to bring you together. That was the only thought!
"My mother's greatest hope for you is that you are healthy. Everything else doesn't matter!"
Wen Yichen also realized that he had said something wrong, so he immediately said: "Mother, I just said something wrong. Please punish me!"
Zhang Youwei patted Wen Yichen and said, "Don't blame you. It's also because mother is too anxious. Qingqing's identity itself is very special.
If she were with anyone, everyone would say that her partner was after her status.
In fact, if Qingqing doesn't want to be the queen of Dayun Dynasty in the future, I have a way.
Let you live the life you want!"
At this time, I said in a neither too loud nor too soft voice: "My identity has added too much glory to me. In fact, Yichen is a very good person.
But I have more important things to do right now. So staying with him would only bring disaster to him!
If I can wait until the matter is settled, it is also possible for us to be unmarried, man and woman!"
Zhang Youwei looked at my resolute attitude and immediately said, "Don't feel too much pressure. I just mentioned it casually.
You all have your own mission. Naturally, you need to walk your own path first!"
Zhang Youwei looked outside again and saw that it was getting darker, and thought of Wang Chun who was still lying on the hospital bed.
He said to me: "Today, why don't you rest in my bedroom? Anyway, my bedroom can accommodate you.
You are also worried about Wang Chun who is not awake. If anything happens to her, it is relatively close here. You can naturally take care of her!"
I thought about it and it was true. I was worried that she would not wake up.
It's getting late now, and it will be late to go back. If something happens in the middle of the night, it will take a lot of time for me to rush over.
It would be better to just live in this palace, it would be more convenient!
