Qin Zhiyi, who was originally eating melon seeds to watch the excitement, almost lost his teeth when he heard Xu Wenyin's words.

She turned her head to look at Xu Wenyin and asked, "Auntie, what did you just say?" I didn't hear you. ”

Xu Wenyin glanced at her, did not doubt him, and said, "Isn't your uncle in the court?" Yesterday morning, the emperor finally ordered the draft. ”

Qin Zhiyi: "......"

Xu Wenyin thought that Qin Zhiyi liked to listen to this gossip, so she talked about it in detail.

"You don't know, our emperor is different from other emperors. The other emperors are all seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and the harem is eager to be stuffed. But this emperor, since he ascended the throne, has not accepted a concubine. The people in his harem were all married when he was originally King Anping. ”

Xu Wenyin swallowed melon seeds and said: "He is one queen and two concubines, and the harem can basically be called a chilling cicada." For this matter, there was a lot of trouble in the court. But he shirked the importance of state affairs, and he didn't choose a concubine. ”

Qin Zhiyi's tone was a little stiff, and he said, "Then why did you decide to choose again this time?" ”

"Because the queen is gone," Xu Wenyin sighed and said, "I heard that he loves this queen the most, and when the queen was there before, he never went to other concubines." As a result, half a year ago, the queen suddenly fell seriously ill and died, and His Majesty almost went crazy at that time. ”

Qin Zhiyi lowered his head, not letting Xu Wenyin see his face.

She was silent for a moment and asked, "Then doesn't he still have two concubines?" ”

"There used to be, but now it's gone." Xu Wenyin said: "Concubine Zhao Shu was imprisoned in a dungeon because she was involved in the queen's affairs, and she still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. Concubine Sun Guifei violated His Majesty's taboo some time ago, and also went down to the dungeon, and heard that she was going to be sent to the cold palace, but she didn't know if it was true or not. In short, now the entire harem is empty, and there is no one left. ”

Qin Zhiyi: "......"

So much has happened in just half a year?

Xu Wenyin said to herself: "It's time to choose a concubine to enrich the harem, after all, he is the emperor, and he still has to have children." ”

After that, just as he saw Ouyang Jin climbing up with a handful of lotus canopies, Xu Wenyin threw the melon seeds, stood up and walked towards Ouyang Jin.

Qin Zhiyi sat alone in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

Until Ouyang Jin came back with a full lotus canopy, Qin Zhiyi was a little absent-minded.

In the evening, Xu Wenyin really made lotus seed soup and sent it to Qin Zhiyi with a blank eye.

In addition to this, there is also a bowl of pork ribs and lotus root soup, and you can smell the fragrance from afar.

Qin Zhiyi couldn't help but move his index fingers, and took a bite of the lotus seed soup.

Xu Wenyin looked at her straight and asked, "How does it taste?" My aunt boiled it herself. ”

Qin Zhiyi pursed his lips, then chuckled lightly and said, "This is the most delicious lotus seed soup I have ever tasted." ”

The smile on Xu Wenyin's face was obvious, and she hurriedly said, "You can try this lotus root pork rib soup again." ”

Qin Zhiyi nodded, took a few sips of the soup, and then paused without pausing, and ate all the things sent by Xu Wenyin in one bite of porridge and one bite of soup.

Xu Wenyin was satisfied, and said with a smile: "If you like it, my aunt will make it for you every day." You're too skinny, you should eat more. ”

Qin Zhiyi agreed, and Xu Wenyin took the rest to Ouyang Jin's courtyard.

Ouyang Jin looked at Xu Wenyin, and suddenly said in a weird way: "It's my turn for my sister to eat the rest...... I don't know, I thought my sister was your own. ”

Xu Wenyin glared at him, and said angrily: "You are still competing with your sister for favor?" You have been clothed and fed since you were a child, and you don't lack anything, what about your sister? She's ...... alone."

"Yes, yes, my sister is living a hard life outside alone, and we have to love her more." Ouyang Jin pursed his lips and said, "I've said this a hundred times, and I can memorize it." ”

Xu Wenyin glanced at him: "She is your sister." ”

Ouyang Jin: "Yes, I know. Oh, don't worry, I'll be good to her. ”

He also likes this sister very much.

Xu Wenyin gave up at this time, put a bowl of porridge in front of Ouyang Jin, and said, "Eat." ”

Ouyang Jin rubbed his hands and took a big bite of the spoon.

Just after chewing two bites, Ouyang Jin spit out.

Xu Wenyin was taken aback: "What are you doing?" ”

Ouyang Jin looked at Xu Wenyin indescribably: "Mother, have you forgotten to pick the lotus heart?" ”

Xu Wenyin: "...... Forgot? ”

Ouyang Jin's face was wrinkled, and he said, "You taste it yourself?" Your lotus seed soup is as bitter as medicine. ”

The lotus heart is bitter, boiled in the porridge, and the porridge faintly exudes a hint of bitterness.

"How so?" Xu Wenyin obviously didn't believe it, and said, "Your sister just ate a big bowl, and she said that I made it delicious......

Xu Wenyin stopped abruptly halfway through her words.

After a moment of silence, the corners of Xu Wenyin's eyes turned red.

"This kid ......" Xu Wenyin choked up a little and said, "I'm afraid no one is so good to her?" ”

Ouyang Jin's face also changed a little, looking at her mother like this, she didn't say anything.

"How bitter this lotus heart is, if it doesn't taste good, just don't eat it, why don't you eat it without changing your face, I think this porridge is really so delicious." Xu Wenyin babbled.

Ouyang Jin sighed and said, "Sister cherishes your heart and doesn't want to waste it." ”

"How can it be a waste? If you want me to do it again. Xu Wenyin said: "I will make it for her every day in the future." ”

Ouyang Jin stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Wenyin, thinking in his heart: I will be kind to my sister in the future.

Also, her mother looks fierce, but she is actually a very soft person!

———

Qin Zhiyi ate his aunt's favorite dinner, and he panicked.

She turned to the courtyard, and after sitting in the courtyard for a long time, she suddenly raised her feet and walked towards the old man's courtyard.

There were still candles lit in the old man's room, and his shadow was printed on the window, which seemed to be reading.

Qin Zhiyi looked at the shadow for a long time and laughed softly.

The old man loved books very much, but he never forced himself to read even a single book.

Even if he deliberately revealed the dog-like font in front of the old man, the old man did not dislike it at all, but stared at the pile of dog-crawling words for a long time, touched his beard and said, "Our careless words...... It's really special. The style is unique and novel, and it is the only one that no one else can imitate. ”

Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Zhiyi's lips couldn't be suppressed.

She stepped forward and knocked lightly on the old man's door and shouted, "Grandpa! ”

The people inside heard her voice and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door: "Xiaoyi? It's so late, you have something to do with me? ”

Qin Zhiyi looked into the room and said, "Can I go in?" I have something I want to discuss with my grandfather. ”

The old man was very happy, stretched out his hand and invited his granddaughter in, and said with a smile: "What do you want, say!" What your grandfather has must be given to you, and what your grandfather doesn't have will be snatched for you! ”
