Qi Hao Extra Episode (8)
The heavy rain was pouring down, and the people on the road instantly became unable to move an inch.
Yunqing and Yuxi braved the heavy rain and continued on their way. After walking for about an hour, they arrived at a small county town.
After finding the inn, Meilan hurried to the kitchen to make brown sugar ginger water for Yunqing and Yuxi.
When a large bowl of brown sugar and ginger water was poured down, fine sweat broke out on Yuxi's forehead. Taking the handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from her head, Yu Xi smiled and said, "I hope this will be useful."
Yun Qing hurriedly said: "It must be useful."
"I'm fine, so I'm just worried about you." Although Yu Xi is in her fifties, she is in good health. In the past two years, she has basically never been sick. On the other hand, Yun Qing, either this pain or that discomfort, he had to take medicine for half a month to recover from the cold.
Meilan tactfully went down with the empty bowl.
Yun Qing slapped his shoulders and said, "Hey, it's just that old age is useless. Like before, I didn't even sneeze on a day's journey in the heavy rain." But now, after blowing a little rain ash, I quickly drink ginger Soup to dispel the cold, is afraid of catching cold and falling ill.
"No one can be young forever." It is true that everyone will grow old one day, but as long as they are well taken care of, they don't have to suffer any pain. On the contrary, that may have to suffer.
After a while, hot water will be delivered. After Yunqing took a bath, Yuxi asked him to lie down.
Yuxi's body is better than Yunqing's. In addition to paying attention to maintenance, she is also younger than Yunqing. When a person gets old, every year is not as good as one year, not to mention that Yuxi is five years younger than Yunqing.
Yunqing quickly lay down on the bed and asked Yuxi to give him a massage. Although it is said that Tong Fang's technique is better, Yuxi rarely asks Tong Fang to give Yunqing a massage, most of them are done by herself.
For this, Yunqing laughed at Yuxi, saying that she was not wronged by those people who made her the number one jealous woman in the world. As a result, Yuxi asked if Yunqing would be happy if a man massaged her, she choked Yunqing with one sentence, and never said that again.
Yuxi pressed Yunqing from head to toe, making him fall asleep comfortably. But Yuxi was sweating all over her body.
I don't know where Meilan got a big bathtub, filled it with hot water and sprinkled rose petals in it.
Yuxi felt that Meilan was getting more and more powerful, and she took good care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and did not let her be distracted.
While Yuxi was taking a bath, Meilan told her something she had just heard: "Queen Mother, the imperial court issued an official document explaining the draft next year."
Yu Xi paused,
Looking up at Meilan, she asked, "When did it happen?" She hadn't heard the news a few days ago.
"It is said that the official document was issued ten days ago. This place is relatively remote, and the news is not very well known." After Meilan finished speaking, she looked at Yuxi cautiously.
Yuxi let out an oh, but stopped talking.
Yun Qing woke up after sleeping until dark, and complained when she heard that Yu Xi hadn't eaten yet: "You don't know how to eat first? What if you feel hungry and feel uncomfortable in your stomach, what should you do?"
Yuxi laughed and said: "It's tasteless to eat alone. I just drank a bowl of chicken soup to fill my stomach." This is really not hypocritical, eating alone is tasteless.
The couple went back to the house after eating.
Yuxi said: "I just heard from Meilan that the imperial court ordered the next year's draft."
"Ah? Qihao wants to be drafted?" Seeing Yuxi frowning, Yunqing asked in puzzlement, "Isn't this within our expectations? Why, you're not happy?"
Although Yuxi can still keep her face intact even before Mount Tai collapses, he can still feel whether Yuxi is in a good mood after being married for so many years.
Yuxi shook her head and said: "What's the matter?" However, there is nothing to be happy about.
"The child is grown up, we can't control it even if we want, let him go!" He would definitely intervene in the affairs of the court, but it is not easy to control the affairs of the son's room.
That's what I said, but Yunqing still couldn't let go. Before going to sleep, he said to Yuxi: "Let's go back to Beijing early!" See what's going on, and why the draft is so good. Yun Qing was worried that there was something wrong here.
"good."
In mid-October, Yunqing and Yuxi returned to the capital. Instead of going back to the palace directly, the two went to find Qiyou first. Brothers have a good relationship, and Qiyou is an elf, so he should know something.
Qiyou was pleasantly surprised when he saw the two of them. But soon, Qiyou asked: "Mother, did you come back early because you heard about the draft?"
"I originally planned to arrive in Beijing in mid-November, but your father came back in a hurry." Now that the draft has been announced, this matter cannot be changed. Come back later and come back earlier, it makes no difference.
Seeing Yuxi's indifferent expression, Qiyou knew that he was thinking too much. As a result, Yuxi's words let him know that he didn't think too much, but thought too little.
Yuxi asked: "It's so good, why did Ah Hao agree to the draft?" Like the previous three years, there will be a draft, and each draft will cost a lot of money. Now that the imperial court's finances are not abundant, it is reasonable to say that Qi Hao will not be drafted at this time. Even if you want to accept the concubine, it is impossible to make such a huge momentum.
"Mom, you can ask your elder brother about this!"
Yun Qing said with a cold face: "If you ask a question, you always push it back and forth. You still have the nerve to always flaunt yourself as a filial son."
Qiyou said helplessly: "Father, mother, this is the eldest brother's private matter, I can't say it."
"I don't want to say it, and I don't force you." After finishing speaking, Yuxi waved her hand and said, "You go back to work, and I will go back to the palace with your father."
Qiyou thinks that he is not afraid of hard but soft, when he heard this, he smiled wryly and said: "Mother, I will tell you everything you want to know."
He poured out everything he knew like beans, and after speaking, Qiyou said: "Mother, I told you everything I know. Mother, you can't betray me!"
Yu Xi frowned, but didn't speak.
Seeing this, Qiyou stopped yelling on purpose, but said seriously: "Mother, don't you always say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so just leave this matter alone."
Hearing this, Yuxi glanced at Qiyou and said, "I've really improved, and I'm starting to teach my mother how to do things."
Qiyou was also worried that Yuxi would be too much in charge and would be suspected. Seeing that Yuxi had made up his mind, he didn't say much.
Let Qiyou continue to work, and Yuxi and Yunqing returned to the palace. Looking at Tan Aoshuang who was a lot thinner than she was when she left Beijing, Yuxi knew that she was not having a good time.
Seeing Yuxi and Yunqing, Jingshu shouted happily: "Grandpa, grandma."
After touching Jingshu's head, Yuxi handed her over to Yunqing. Yun Qing took Jing Shu out to see the gift he brought back.
Seeing this posture, Tan Aoshuang knew that Yu Xi had something to say to her.
Yuxi asked bluntly: "Your father and I heard about Qihao's draft, so I hurried back to the capital. Why did Qihao draft, do you know?"
"Only Brother Sheng and Brother Chan are too few. The emperor agrees to draft for the sake of his heirs." This reason is true everywhere.
Yuxi shook her head slightly and said: "Qihao was not only born by me, but also raised and taught by me. His greatest advantage is that he is highly talented and he can learn everything quickly; his greatest shortcoming is that he is too deep-minded. He keeps everything in his heart and won't take the initiative to say it. He keeps many things in his heart, and I know him well to guess what he thinks." But although Tan Aoshuang and Qi Hao have been married for many years, they may not be able to Guess what Qi Hao thinks.
Tan Aoshuang didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Yuxi said: "Not long after you got married, I told you that you should tell Qihao if you can't solve it by yourself. If you have any doubts or other things in your heart, you have to tell him. Obviously, you didn't do it .”
Tan Aoshuang explained: "The emperor is so busy every day, I don't want to bother him with those little things anymore." She will solve the things that can be solved. If it can't be solved, she will try her best to solve it.
"You are wrong. Husband and wife are one. If you can't solve it, let him do it." After finishing speaking, Yuxi looked at Tan Aoshuang and said, "You take care of everything and don't tell him anything. Not only will I be tired, but Qi Hao will not know your hard work." Like before, she took care of everything when Yun Qing was not at home. But Yunqing left some things to him at home, which made it easier for her.
Tan Aoshuang was stunned for a while and then said: "Mother, it's my job to take care of the palace and teach the children." Since it's my job, it would be too hypocritical to say it's hard work.
"It's also your duty to take a concubine for Qihao?"
Tan Aoshuang bit her lip, and said with red eyes after a while, "I, I don't want to, but I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing Tan Aoshuang lowering her head, Yu Xi said, "You are bored in everything you want, and I can't help you even if I want to help you."
"I was afraid that the emperor would like Yin Kangle. I, I was in a daze at the time, so I told the emperor to accept Yin Tiantian." In fact, Tan Aoshuang was in a very complicated mood at the time. He hoped that Qihao would refuse, but was also afraid of Qihao. reject. Unexpectedly, Qihao agreed without any hesitation. At that time, she was very uncomfortable.
Yuxi was inexplicable: "Yin Kangle? When did Qihao meet her?" How could two people who couldn't relate to each other get involved.
Tan Aoshuang told Yuxi about Qihao chatting and eating with Yin Kangle in the restaurant, and also said about Qihao's rewarding Yin Kangle: "The emperor has never had a meal with a woman alone, and he has never rewarded a woman alone."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "You think too much, Yin Kangle is someone I admire, and Qihao will appreciate her only because of my face."
Hearing this, Tan Aoshuang was so regretful that her intestines turned green. Why was she so hot-headed and did such a stupid thing!
Yuxi shook her head helplessly, and said, "You suspect that Qihao likes Yin Kangle, why don't you ask him directly?"
"I..." How could she have the courage and guts.
Yuxi said: "Because Qihao is the emperor, so you dare not ask? Or are you afraid that if you get an affirmative answer, Qihao will welcome Yin Kangle into the palace? But have you ever thought about it, if Qihao really likes Yin Kang Le, can you stop that?"
Tan Aoshuang said with red eyes: "Mother, I know I was wrong. At that time, I was deceived by lard, so I did such a stupid thing." Unfortunately, it was too late to regret.
Yuxi also came from that stage, so she can understand Tan Aoshuang's mood: "Do you know where your biggest mistake is?"
Tan Aoshuang looked at Yuxi.
Yuxi said: "Your biggest mistake is to treat Qihao as the emperor first, and then treat him as your husband. You take the initiative to give Qihao a concubine to make him feel that he is not so important in your heart. If not, how could it be?" Push him to another woman."
The education that Tan Aoshuang has received in these years is to put her husband first. And Qihao is the lord of the world, and everything is respected by him. So Yuxi's words shocked her a lot.
