The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 32
"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine stayed at my grandfather's house for a few years when she was young, and then traveled around with them. People in the south eat spicy food, so they developed this habit."

"I see."

The emperor ate fast and ate a lot, and in a short while most of the food was eaten.

It was obvious that he was really hungry.

Lin Wanyi was full by herself, so she rested her chopsticks, so she took the chopsticks from Dong Yuzhong's hand and served dishes to the emperor.

To say that this cloth dish is also particular about cloth dish.

Everything should be twisted a little, but the taste of the emperor should also be considered, and he should choose what he likes.

After this meal, Lin Wanyi found it difficult to tell what he liked and what he didn't like.

He is really the emperor of the world, even his meals are so balanced.

After the meal, the emperor got up and walked around.

Feeling a little overwhelmed, I called Dong Yuzhong and planned to go for a walk.

Dong Yuzhong, on the other hand, looked puzzled, pointed outside and said.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy outside, and I'm afraid it's going to rain. This spring rain is endless, and it may not stop when it falls. For the sake of His Majesty's Eucharist, it's better not to go out."

Although it violated the emperor's wishes, Dong Yuzhong was also kind.

However, Lin Wanyi saw that the emperor's expression was a little strange, as if he wanted to go out again, but felt that he couldn't step down.

So he opened his mouth to rescue Dong Yuzhong.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of Bashan Night Rain?"

Emperor Yu Wenhong looked at her puzzled.

"Isn't this a line from "Night Rain Sending the North"? What's wrong?"

"When the concubine was at home, a lot of plantains were planted in the backyard, so every time it rained at night, my parents would take us brothers and sisters to listen to the rain fall in the house, and the family sat around and talked, which was very interesting. .”

"say what?"

"Talk about everything, sometimes about the anecdotes my elder brother heard in the market, sometimes about the encounter between my father and mother when they were young, or about the maid and concubine traveling with the grandfather's family. As a family, there are always endless things to say. .”

When Lin Wanyi mentioned her family, her eyes became much gentler.

Yu Wenhong could tell that the relationship between their family was good.

His eyelids drooped and he didn't say a word.

It's a pity that this kind of warm family atmosphere is what he wants but can't get.

Born in the royal family, doomed to be indifferent to family.

Lin Wan thought that the emperor would not reply, and then looked up, but saw that his face was not very good.

Could it be that I said something wrong?

Just when I was worried, I heard the emperor said lightly.

"Tell me about your travels in the South."

The voice was far away, but no emotion could be heard. At this moment, Lin Wanyi seemed to see a different emperor.

Not aloof, not full of majesty, full of loneliness and loneliness.

Lin Wanyi sat quietly on the edge, thought for a while, and then picked an interesting topic to talk about the story.

"The family of the concubine's grandfather is a long-standing family of merchants. Since their ancestors, they have been doing business in the streets and alleys. It has been passed down from generation to generation. It was the generation of the great-grandfather who migrated to Lingzhou with his family. Shengjing City, it’s time to settle down.”

"Grandfather has followed great-great-grandfather to do all kinds of business in the market since he was a child, so he knows a lot about business. One year, the second uncle went to Yaozhou to collect medicines, and it happened that my grandfather was also going to do so, so my grandmother and I Just go with them."

"Most people in Yaozhou are local Yao people, and people from the Central Plains are rare, so we changed into their clothes as soon as we entered the territory of Yaozhou. When talking with strangers, we also use Yao language."

"Grandfather said that he wanted to eat other people's food, so he naturally gathered firewood to make other people's pot. I thought it was some local slang, but my grandfather really took us to buy a car of firewood and went to the local village. Find an elder to eat."

"When I saw the firewood, I was very curious. Later, when I entered the elder's house, I realized that this is really a local custom. I used the firewood brought by my grandfather to make a fire, cooked the food, and after a lively meal My grandfather handed over the shopping list, and my second uncle told me that others think that doing business with the Yao people is the most difficult, but they don’t know that they are actually the simplest and kindest, as long as you solve the problem for them sincerely, Then the rest is natural."

Lin Wanyi's words made Emperor Yu Wenhong fall into deep thought.

After a while, he asked.

"So why do those Yao people need firewood?"

"Because those Yao people are actually members of the Huoyao tribe. They have believed in the God of Fire for generations, and they came here with firewood. They are the messengers of the God of Fire. They naturally sweep the bed to welcome them, and if they want to do things, they will do their best to help of."

The emperor was astonished, with disbelief in his eyes.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yeah, the maidservant also found it incredible when she heard it at first."

"Then how did your grandfather know about this?"

Lin Wanyi covered her mouth and snickered, this was her grandfather's big secret.

So he moved his mind and deliberately teased the emperor.

"Does Your Majesty want to know the truth or the outside world?"

"What about the outside world? What about the real thing?"

"For the outside world, it is naturally that my grandfather's family has been in business for many years, and there are many ways to do business. As for the truth..."

Lin Wanyi deliberately dragged her voice out to whet the emperor's appetite. Seeing that he was a little anxious, she opened her mouth to explain.

"When my grandfather was young, he was favored by a girl from the Yihuo Yao tribe, and he was almost offered to be his son-in-law, so he naturally knew some rules of the Huo tribe."

After hearing this, Yu Wenhong also laughed lightly.

I don't know if it's because she "arranged" her grandfather, that sly expression reminded him of some childhood memories.

He also had some happy times before taking the throne.

The former emperor loved him like a treasure in his hand, no matter how busy the court was, he would laugh and fight with him.

It's a pity that all of these became memories after the emperor died of serious illness, and then the helplessness and pain of being forced to grow up since he ascended the throne.

There are always people reminding him how to be a famous emperor in history, but no one cares that he is still a handsome young man.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and it really started to rain outside as Dong Yuzhong said.

The spring rain is like oil, hanging from the sky like a bead curtain.

It hit the ground, splashing one small puddle after another, and the branches in the courtyard were also beaten to the ground.

The candlelight cast the shadows of the two on the bright window, one listened carefully, and the other spoke interestingly.

From time to time there will be some laughter, not loud, but listening to it is very relaxing.

Dong Yuzhong stood outside the door, holding the dust whisk he had used for many years in his hands, and closed his eyes to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

On the other hand, Qiu Ming came over, seeing his appearance, he couldn't help asking.
