187 Out of sight, out of mind
Outside was the sound of stir-frying, Ling Xiaorou sat in the room and listened to the old lady babbling about the origin of the village, and Li Xun was stunned as he listened.
According to the old lady, the people in this village are all surnamed Qian, they are from the royal family of the previous dynasty, because they were destroyed by the dynasty will help the old and the young to come to this place to live in seclusion, and they will go out every few years to inquire about the news, but after learning that in addition to these people, all the people of the Qian royal family have not died well, and they have never gone out, and they have lived in the mountains for more than 200 years, and they don't know what kind of world is now outside the mountains.
When asked about Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun, Ling Xiaorou was afraid that Li Xun's surname Li would touch the old lady's sensitive nerves, but fortunately, the old lady just let out a faint 'oh' sound after hearing it, and let the two live in the room next to her.
The old lady was gone when she was young, and she lived alone for many years, although the people in the village respected and took care of her, in the end the family was still a little deserted, and now there is such a small 'couple', the old lady is happy in her heart.
After the old lady went out, Ling Xiaorou said to Li Xun mysteriously: "Aren't you afraid that the surname Li will make the old lady unhappy?" ”
Li Xun waved his hand indifferently, "The one who destroyed the Qian clan is not my ancestor, she won't know that the current royal family is surnamed Li." ”
Ling Xiaorou opened her mouth, and seemed to understand that the emperor who must have destroyed the Qian clan was also destroyed by Li Xun's ancestors, and the Qian clan had lived in the mountains for several lifetimes in order to avoid disasters and did not dare to go out, and they were really frightened by the fear.
But considering that they have mountains and rivers here, there is plenty of food, and their lives are very leisurely, if they don't think about the offspring of close relatives, it is a good place to live, and if they are old in the future, she also wants to find a place like this to live.
sighed for a while the fate of the people of the Qian clan, and said that Ming'er would get up early to ask the route out of the mountain, and they didn't want to stay in the mountains any longer.
After taking a hot bath at night, Ling Xiaorou sat on the edge of the bed with a refreshing body, looking at Li Xun, who also looked radiant after taking a bath, how could the two of them sleep in a bed?
Li Xun lay down on the bed with a big grin, and glanced at Ling Xiaorou, "Xiao Rou'er, aren't you sleeping yet?" ”
These days can be regarded as living and dying together, Li Xun's image in Ling Xiaorou's mind has collapsed and there is not much left, Ling Xiaorou didn't bother to pay attention to him, got up and wanted to go to the old lady's house to squeeze, but was stopped by Li Xun, "Do you want the people in the village to know that we lied to them?" ”
Ling Xiaorou gave him a blank look, "Then how do you say to sleep?" ”
Li Xun also said with a look of embarrassment: "If you and I sleep alone, I promise not to touch you!" ”
Ling Xiaorou stared at Li Xun very seriously for a few moments and shook her head, "I can't believe you." ”
Li Xun was in a hurry, Ling Xiaorou opened the door and went out, Li Xun only thought she was going to the old lady's house, but not long after, Ling Xiaorou pushed the door in again, holding a palm-sized stone in her hand, and lay down on the side of the bed.
Li Xun looked at the stone that was tightly held by Ling Xiaorou, he didn't have any thoughts, no matter how long he hadn't touched a woman, his life was still important.
When she got up in the morning, the old lady boiled a large pot of gruel, Ling Xiao softened some cornmeal and put it in an iron pot to paste it into cakes, accompanied by small pickles pickled in salt, Li Xun, who ate a meal, couldn't stop his mouth, and when he was fine, he should let the emperor go outside to suffer some hardships, and he could eat everything in just a few days.
After breakfast, Ling Xiaorou asked how the old lady walked out of the village, and was warmly retained by the old lady, before the two refused, a group of village people came outside, among which there were more than a dozen girls dressed in flowers and branches The most eye-catching, although the dress seemed to Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun to be a little rustic, but this look was serious.
Ling Xiaorou thought about the outstanding-looking concubines in Li Xun's palace, presumably after many generations of combination of excellent genes, the ancestors of the Qian clan also looked very good, and their descendants also inherited the good looks of their ancestors.
What's the deal with just bringing a bunch of girls over early in the morning?
Seeing that those girls were all looking at Li Xun one by one, and hanging their heads shyly from time to time, Ling Xiaorou seemed to understand something, and the old lady also opened her mouth to solve their doubts at this time.
It turns out that the Qian's family has lived together for many generations, even if the original kinship relationship is very far away, but after these generations of intermarriage, the blood relationship of the people in the village is already close to catching up with their brothers and sisters, and in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who can successfully conceive a child.
Therefore, Li Xun's arrival gave them hope that if Li Xun could leave offspring in the village, and then intermarry with the people in the village when the offspring grew up, the children born in this way would not be so close to the children in the village.
Therefore, these dozen girls were all sent to Li Xun to enjoy, in their opinion, this good thing is a man will not refuse, if Li Xun is willing, they can even send more women over, just hope to be able to conceive as many Li Xun's children as possible, to improve the blood problem in the village.
Hearing the last look at Li Xun's darkening and darkening face, is this using him as a boar?
Ling Xiaorou was already holding back her laughter, for fear that laughing would make the emperor very faceless, but with so many beauties in company, it was really a good fortune.
The emperor hasn't touched a woman for many days, as long as she doesn't laugh, the emperor will definitely not refuse.
Although the emperor doesn't like his man's innocence very much, he can use himself as a boar, which is also a great insult to the emperor. According to Li Xun's meaning, he naturally wants to refuse, even if he doesn't have a living heir in the palace, how can the royal heir be left out?
As a result, after hearing Li Xun's refusal, the villagers who were originally kind changed their faces at that time, pointed at Ling Xiaoju and said, "If the man is unwilling, it will be okay to keep the woman to have a child." ”
Ling Xiaorou hid behind Li Xun in fright, poked Li Xun's waist with her fingers, and motioned for him to take those women away at the request of the people in the village.
Li Xun was very firm in his position at this time, his head could be broken, blood could be shed, and his dignity could not be lost.
So, after successfully capturing the hearts of a group of women, Li Xun, who was very manly, was locked in a small room with a high open window and a guarded door with Ling Xiaorou in front of him.
"I'll let you go when I give birth."
The people outside the house threw down such a sentence and left, Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun couldn't calm down, although they didn't have to have children with the men in the village to let Ling Xiaorou relax a little, but Ling Xiaorou also didn't want to have children with Li Xun.
As for Li Xun, he didn't dare to have children with Ling Xiaorou, not only afraid of He Louyuan's anger, but also afraid of the stone in Ling Xiaorou's hand.
Ling Xiaorou was very sad and finally persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you promise those women to have children with them?" ”
Li Xun looked angry, "I'd rather have a child with you than have a child with them." ”
Ling Xiaorou slapped Li Xun's head, "What do you say?" If you want to, I don't want to. ”
Li Xun was stunned when he was beaten, he has grown so big, is it the first time he has been beaten? Sure enough, the woman He Louyuan fancied was different.
Seeing Li Xun's eyes a little stunned, he thought that he once regarded himself as a demon obstacle when his mother was reincarnated, for fear that the emperor would fall ill as soon as he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly reasoned with him.
"Your Majesty, do you think, if I have a child with you, even if I start working hard now, it will take ten months to give birth, do you really want to stay here for ten months? It's different from those women who have children, as long as they are sure that they are pregnant, the villagers can let us go, and it is only a matter of a month or two. ”
Li Xun glanced at Ling Xiaorou, "How can you be sure that those women will be able to conceive in a month or two?" What if you can't get pregnant? ”
He worked hard when he was in the palace before, but those women's bellies are not uncommon to bulge? How could it be as easy as Ling Xiaorou said?
Ling Xiaorou stared at Li Xun in surprise, always feeling as if she knew some amazing truth, looking at Li Xun's straight hair, and wanted to confess, but she couldn't say anything under Ling Xiaorou's seemingly understanding gaze.
Ling Xiaorou patted Li Xun's shoulder, "Your Majesty, you have to be confident, after all, Chen Shuyi is pregnant, maybe...... Your problem is not a big deal. ”
Li Xun's muscles jumped angrily, and he wanted Ling Xiaorou to test how confident he was, but looking at Ling Xiaorou's calm and seemingly able to see through people's eyes, Li Xun finally rushed to the door and slapped the door and shouted: "Open the door, find those women, I ...... I promised you! ”
The door was opened, and the women outside the room stood in a row, staring at Li Xun shyly and boldly, hoping that he would be the first to choose himself, if he could really conceive a child, he would be a great hero in the village in the future.
Li Xun swept around the women's faces, picked the best-looking one, and hooked his fingers, "It's you." ”
The woman walked to Li Xun's side with a happy face, followed Li Xun into the room, and Ling Xiaorou, who was still in the house, walked out of the house very consciously.
When Ling Xiaorou walked outside the house and wanted to close the door for the emperor considerately, the remaining dozen or so women swarmed in, the door was closed and plugged in from the inside, Ling Xiaorou seemed to hear Li Xun's screams, and then was pulled back to her home by the old lady.
The rest of the people are not good to listen here, and they should disperse, anyway, in their opinion, if this good thing is not for the fear that the women in the family will be angry, which man will not move forward? Especially these girls are the most outstanding in the village, and they are just thinking about it on weekdays, and this kid's blessing is really not small.
Back at the old lady's house, Ling Xiaorou kept sitting in a daze, although Ling Xiaorou felt that the emperor had no discipline, but when she thought of the dozen or so wolf-like women, Ling Xiaorou secretly prayed for Li Xun.
But in the eyes of the old lady, she became worried and jealous of her man.
The old lady sat down beside Ling Xiaorou and persuaded earnestly: "Girl, men are all the same, that is, they don't eat fish in front of you, who knows behind your back?" You should not be out of sight and not out of mind. ”
