Chapter 17: Arrogance and Conservation

Helian Qi stopped Su Wan'er in a low voice, "No need." ”

Although Aunt Li didn't know that Helian Qi was the regent of the dynasty, several officials who came over in the past few days were obedient to him, so she also guessed that Helian Qi's status was noble.

She looked at Rong Yan, who had the same noble temperament on Helian Qi's side, and compared it with Su Wan'er again, and reacted, "This is Helian Gongzi's main wife, right?" It's raining outside, come in! ”

How dare Su Wan'er let Aunt Li misunderstand like this, and hurriedly explained, "No, Aunt Li, Noble Daughter Rong is the sister-in-law of my family's Helian son......"

Before Su Wan'er finished speaking, she received a cold-eyed knife from Helian Qi.

She was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

When Aunt Li went to the kitchen to serve the food again, Rong Yan and the three of them heard her sighing sentence, "Spoil the concubine and kill the wife, but where can that concubine compare to the lady of the main room!" ”

Only then did Su Wan'er know that Helian Qi was deliberately humiliating the current Queen Mother, and after Helian Qi entered the house, she walked towards Rong Yan, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, don't take the words of the ignorant peasant woman to heart." ”

"Even the ignorant peasant woman can see that the regent favors you." Rong Yan took off a phoenix hairpin on her head and gave it to Su Wan'er, and said lightly to the panicked Su Wan'er.

"You're doing a great job."

Su Wan'er saw Rong Yan's methods, and her life was still pinched by Rong Yan, she was so frightened that she almost knelt down for Rong Yan, trembling her lips and said: "The concubine will continue to work hard to make the regent trust the concubine more, and indulge in women's sex and ignore the government......"

"Sue!" Helian Qi shouted Su Wan'er in the main hall.

"The concubine has passed." Su Wan'er said to Rong Yan, put away the phoenix hairpin, and after hurriedly saluting, she walked quickly to Helian Qi, bent over and served soup to him.

Rice is only available in the south, and the cultivation conditions are harsh, so ordinary people in the north cannot eat rice, and the only staple food is wheat.

But this year's new wheat was not harvested, and the steamed buns made from the old wheat that the family used to entertain Helian Qi and his family last year were mixed with coarse grains such as corn and sweet potatoes, and the taste was really hard to swallow.

And the side dish is also a radish stockpiled last winter, there is no meat, not to mention the seasoning.

Salt, in particular, is also very expensive for ordinary people, so the three vegetarian dishes are oil-free and tasteless.

Rong Yan can eat it, but she has a small amount of food, and she is full after eating half a coarse grain steamed bun.

Helian Qi frowned and barely ate a few bites, then put it down in disgust, but drank several cups of white water, seemingly using it to satisfy his hunger.

is diametrically opposed to the coarse food of gunlin, knife and tree five years ago, in the past two years, he has been poor and extravagant, so arrogant that he feels that he is the most noble in the world, and he doesn't eat any hardships and losses, Rong Yan doesn't care about him.

Anyway, the government is not far from here, and after Helian Qi passes, the officials below will serve delicious food and wine, and maybe they will also offer beautiful women and arrange various entertainment programs.

After Shen Jinshu and Helian Yi were escorted by the secret guards, Su Wan'er bent over and was about to salute, but was stopped by Helian Qi.

"Since we are a private visit, we don't have to stick to etiquette."

"What do you think, little emperor?" Helian Qi's last sentence was said by looking at Helian Yi, sitting there with a strong coercion all over his body, with a sharp edge like a blade in his eyes.

And the next second, a leopard suddenly ran out of the house, and after a pause, he bowed his body again, kicked his hind feet, and his streamlined and strong body rushed towards Helian Yi with an elegant and lightning speed.

Su Wan'er was so frightened by this sudden scene that she screamed.

Rong Yan had already stepped forward, stretched out her legs and kicked at the leopard, and at the same time, she stretched out her arms to block Helian Yi behind.

"Get out!" As a mother, she didn't even care about her life at this moment, and looked at the leopard with awe-inspiring momentum.

"Jueying, go back!" As if the leopard hadn't listened to Helian Qi's instructions, Helian Qi scolded with a calm face.

The ferocious leopard roared in protest, shook the tip of its thick round and strong tail, and reluctantly returned to the house in three steps.

The atmosphere did not ease because of this, but made Su Wan'er even more frightened, her pale face and body trembled slightly, and her palms were full of cold sweat Standing beside Helian Qi, witnessing this confrontation.

This is the first time the two have met since Rong Yan told Helian Qi that Helian Yi is his son.

Not to mention the children, Su Taishi and their scheming old ministers who have experienced bloody storms and rains are a little afraid of people like Shang Helian Qi.

And it is reasonable for Helian Qi not to salute himself, but he actually prevented his concubine from saluting Helian Yi, which is obviously a challenge to the emperor's prestige.

He even released his own leopard to intimidate Helian Yi, which was literally killing a four-year-old child.

Shen Jinshu's clear eyebrows sank, and when he saw Helian Yi's little fist clenched, he also took half a step forward and blocked Helian Qi's sight with Rong Yan.

Helian Qi narrowed his narrow eyes, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was quite meaningful, "What?" It's only been a few days, and the emperor has protected the little emperor, and this king really wants to know who has such great ability to rob this king's people. ”

He squinted at Rong Yan, who was silent and motionless, and sneered coldly, clearly saying that Rong Yan used beauty to win over his staff.

Shen Jinshu couldn't afford such a big sin as colluding with the current Queen Mother in the harem, and tried to explain, "Regent, the minister just thinks it's ......."

In the next second, Helian Yi stood up from behind Shen Jinshu and bent down to salute Helian Qi, "The imperial uncle regent has worked hard and has made great achievements, and there is no need to salute his nephews in the future, but the ministers and nephews are juniors, and the queen mother always teaches the ministers and nephews to respect and be filial to the regent, so it should be the ministers and nephews who salute the imperial uncle and the regent." ”

In fact, when the leopard pounced, he stood straight and did not move, acting quite calm, at this moment he called himself "minister", Shen Jinshu and Su Wan'er felt ridiculous.

Rong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that her back was covered with cold sweat.

Helian Qi looked calm, and after receiving that salute, he withdrew his gaze, and his arrogant tone seemed to be a gift from the emperor, "Sit down." ”

"Uncle Xie is the regent." Helian Yi asked Shen Jinshu to sit beside him, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the food on the blackened table.

Helian Qi was obviously sitting on a broken stool, but he sat on a dragon chair, rubbing his fingers, and his cold eyes glanced at Helian Yi condescendingly, "Since the little emperor has come to check the people's suffering, let's eat." ”

Shen Jinshu and Su Wan'er both mentioned it in their hearts, and Rong Yan was also afraid that Helian Yi, who had never been out of the palace, would cry at these foods that she had never seen before, and even said the sentence Why don't you eat minced meat?

If it spreads, he, the emperor, is afraid that he will be ridiculed by the people of the world and be regarded as a waste, then Helian Qi will win without much effort.
