The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 111

Concubine Mei was a little surprised. She had not met her nephew very often, but she knew that he had a unique personality, very similar to hers, so it was rare for him to request an audience like this.

Mei Zhuyu was the nephew of Imperial Concubine Mei and the husband of Wu Zhen. With Wu Zhen already there, Empress Wu naturally approved his request for an audience. While waiting for Mei Zhuyu to arrive, Empress Wu and Imperial Concubine Mei sat aside and talked quietly, occasionally glancing at the silent “Wu Zhen”.

Not only did Empress Wu feel something was wrong, but Concubine Mei, who had not spoken a word, had also carefully examined this “Wu Zhen” for a long time. The more she looked, the more she felt that this “Wu Zhen” was not like Wu Zhen but more like her nephew Mei Zhuyu. When Empress Wu mentioned it, her expression also became subtle.

After the incident of Concubine Mei turning into a cat some time ago, the two of them suddenly remembered some supernatural legends and looked at Wu Zhen with increasingly suspicious eyes. After all, they thought she was too strange, and Empress Wu’s eyes were still a little wary.

What if it was some evil spirit or dirty ghost that had taken over her sister’s body? What would she do?

When Mei Zhuyu walked into the palace with a familiar manner, Empress Wu glanced at him and asked in a pretentious tone, “Why is Minister Mei here today?”

When Wu Zhen saw her sister, she subconsciously smiled and said in a dashing manner, “Of course I miss you…” 

Halfway through her words, she saw her own body sitting next to her. Her voice paused, and she coughed, awkwardly changing “sister” to “my wife”.

“…I missed my wife, so I came to pick her up.”

Empress Wu saw her graceful bow and thought she looked familiar, so familiar that she wanted to touch her. Then she heard her frivolous tone and lively eyes. How could she be like the steady brother-in-law Mei Zhuyu she had seen before? It seemed that not only her sister was possessed by evil spirits, but her brother-in-law was also possessed by evil spirits.

She looked at the strange couple and winked at Imperial Concubine Mei, who immediately ordered all the servants around to retreat. When only the four of them were left, Empress Wu slowly said to Mei Zhuyu, “Wu Zhen, what on earth are you doing?”

Empress Wu was just testing her, but when she said it, Mei Zhuyu started to laugh and sat down in front of her without hesitation, praising her, “Sister, you’re really amazing. You can see it right away!”

She used a coquettish tone, and instead of calling her “Your Highness”, she called her “Sister”. Empress Wu was almost choked by her tone that didn’t match her face. She tried to hold it back but couldn’t, and shouted, “Don’t smile at me like that; you ruin Minister Mei’s handsome appearance!”

Wu Zhen didn’t care. She looked up and smiled at the silent Mei Zhuyu and said, “My dear, you don’t mind, right?”

Although Mei Zhuyu was not used to having such a bright smile on his face, the fact that they had exchanged bodies was not very pleasant in the first place, and he did not want to restrict Wu Zhen too much, so he just let her do what she wanted.

Concubine Mei looked at it and concluded, “So, you two really did swap bodies?”

Mei Zhuyu and Wu Zhen had not expected to be summoned to the palace and for Empress Wu to find out, so they had not clearly discussed their excuses. When Concubine Mei asked, Mei Zhuyu knew he would not make up a story, so he kept silent and left it to Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen was indeed talking nonsense. She restrained her expression and said, “This is a long story. I met a crazy Taoist priest a few days ago and accidentally offended him. He pointed at me and said he wanted to teach me a lesson. I didn’t think much of it and just thought he was lying. I didn’t expect that I would suddenly switch bodies with my husband today. I think it was the Taoist priest who did it.”

“I have just found out that the crazy Taoist went to Kunzhou. I was thinking of going to Kunzhou with my husband to find the Taoist and apologize to him. Maybe we can ask him to help us get our bodies back.” Wu Zhen said this seriously. After hearing her brief description of the situation, Mei Zhuyu began to suspect that it was the real reason.

“So, sister, please do me a favor. You need to sort out my husband’s job in the Ministry of Justice first, and then we will go to Kunzhou to find him and come back to talk about it.” Wu Zhen brought up this matter casually.

Empress Wu simply didn’t know what to say. She almost touched her forehead with her finger out of habit, but Wu Zhen was using Mei Zhuyu’s body, so her finger couldn’t touch it at all. She could only say harshly, “I knew it was you who caused this trouble!”

Wu Zhen saw that her sister wanted to beat her but couldn’t, so she became more fearless, “Sister, do you agree?”

Empress Wu was angry but still nodded, although she scolded her for a while. 

Wu Zhen was used to being scolded by her father and sister, and she ignored it and winked at Mei Zhuyu.

Mei Zhuyu was almost devastated by the news of her pregnancy. Seeing Wu Zhen like that, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Wu Zhen looked at herself for a while and suddenly sighed, “I am indeed good-looking, and I look very good even when I smile.”

Empress Wu saw her sister’s indecent and teasing tone and felt an urge to break her legs. She gritted her teeth and said, “He is pregnant now. You better be steady and stop making trouble. Take good care of him on the way to Kunzhou. Do you hear me?”

Wu Zhen’s playful expression froze. She stopped laughing, sat up straight, and looked confused. “What?”

Empress Wu also thought about this messy thing and didn’t know what tone to use. “Liu Fengyu just came to check your pulse and found that you were pregnant.”

Wu Zhen: “…”

She stared at the calm Mei Zhuyu in disbelief. Her eyes moved to her abdomen. She burped and swallowed for a long time before she laughed dryly twice, “Is that so?”

Imperial Concubine Mei, who had been very quiet all the time, suddenly laughed softly. The three people turned their eyes to her. Imperial Concubine Mei said slowly and softly, “The first three months of pregnancy are the most important. Zhen is a person who cannot be quiet. If she is left alone, it would be really worrying. Although Zhuyu is younger than Zhen, he is steady and reliable. If it was him, there would be no problem.”

In an instant, Empress Wu, Wu Zhen, and Mei Zhuyu were all impressed by her idea. Mei Zhuyu even glanced at Wu Zhen and thought to himself, “Why not change back after this period of time? Otherwise, it would be too much torture for Wu Zhen. Liu Fengyu said that she should drink some medicinal soup, but Wu Zhen doesn’t like to drink these bitter things, and pregnant women would vomit, which sounds like torture. So it will be better to change back after this period of time.”

In fact, Master Mei was also worried about his wife, so he felt more at ease if he was the one who suffered for her.
