Qi Hao Extra Episode (12)

When Zao Zao came back, Yun Qing asked all three sons to bring their wives and children back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning for dinner.

The previous one table has now become two tables, not including the two children who are breastfeeding.

For this lunch, Yunqing ate half a bowl more than usual. This shows how good he is.

After eating, Zao Zao got tired of talking privately with Yu Xi in the bedroom of the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

"Mother, you don't care about Ahao's draft. If you have this money, why don't you buy more clothes for the soldiers in the border town!" Not to mention that the draft cost a lot, but it is a big expense for those women after they enter the palace. .

Yuxi chuckled and said: "That day you are going to marry Wu Jinyu, I'm afraid you will stop it, but can you stop it?"

When Yu Xi brought up the matter of the old calendar, Zao Zao's face blushed instantly: "Mother, how can it be the same?" When she was young, she felt that she was right to do so. But looking back now, I feel ashamed. It's not regret, but her behavior made Yunqing and Yuxi very embarrassed.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Why is it different? I can't stop what you decide on your own. Besides, the ministers who don't accept the concubine Qi Hao yell every day, and it's always annoying."

Zaozao pouted: "Those ministers can persecute him? It's not that Qihao himself wants to accept a concubine."

"Since I know, why don't you let me take care of it?" Er couldn't help but listen to her even though Qihao was very filial. But if he gets involved in some things too much, he will get bored. As long as it's not a matter of principle, Yuxi doesn't want to argue with Qihao.

There was no one else in the room, and Zao Zao spoke without any scruples: "Mother, ten fingers are still long and short. He accepts concubines, will those concubines live in peace after giving birth? Will this palace be peaceful in the future?"

In the past, Qiyou always yelled that his parents favored the two of them, and Qixuan also felt that he was not taken seriously. This is true for siblings of the same mother, let alone half-brothers and sisters.

Yuxi patted Zaozao's hand, and said softly: "You can just tell me these things, and you must never tell the third person. Even your father, don't tell him."

Now Yun Qing is really a person who doesn't care about everything, and acts completely according to his temperament. But with Yuxi watching, she wouldn't do anything out of line.

Sometimes Yuxi even envied his temperament, and was very troubled if he didn't think about anything.

Zao Zao was stunned and asked: "Mother..."

Yu Xi smiled and said: "Everything you can think of,

Qi Hao would not know. It's just that he still has to draft, which means he is confident that he can balance these relationships. "

Zao Zao is not the little girl who only acted with passion, knowing that some things are not what you want to do.

Yuxi said to Zaozao: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you worry about everything, will you dare to close your eyes in the future?"

Seeing this, Zao Zao didn't say any more about it.

Yuxi changed the subject: "Zhanghua Palace is still empty, you take Changsheng and Tingsheng to live in it. After the Lantern Festival, let Changsheng and Tingsheng move out." This means, let Zaozao take Changsheng and Tingsheng to live in it. Tingsheng celebrates the new year in the palace.

Zao Zao hesitated and said: "Mother, isn't this inconvenient?" Chang Sheng is already a young man, and he may be criticized if he lives in the palace for such a long time.

"It's okay now, it's really inconvenient after the draft." In the future, all the young women who will be selected into the palace will be 16 or 17 years old. It's really inconvenient for a young man of Changsheng's age to live in the harem. As for Yin Tiantian, she was ignored by Yuxi.

When Zao Zao heard this, she readily agreed. Turning around, let Chang Sheng and Ting Sheng pack up their things and move into the palace.

When sleeping at night, Tan Aoshuang and Qi Hao said: "Eldest sister is back, father is in a very good mood, and he ate half a bowl of rice." The emperor was also very happy when Prince Rui came back, but not so excited.

"Father loves elder sister the most." When he said this, Qihao looked very calm.

"The emperor loves the eldest sister the most, but who does the queen mother love the most?"

Qi Hao smiled and said: "Everyone says that the queen mother loves me the most, but in fact the queen mother treats us siblings the same." It's just because he is the heir that he spends the most effort and time on him.

"Didn't King You say that his father, queen, and queen were partial when he was a child?" The reason why he specifically mentioned Qiyou was because he knew that Qiyou was the most difficult to deal with, and also the most worry-free.

After finishing speaking, Tan Aoshuang added: "It's like Jingshu said before that I gave birth to Brother Yu, so I don't care about her anymore." It's just that when Yuxi talked to her last time, she also seriously reflected on herself, and then corrected it . This was also what Jingshu told her later.

Qi Hao recalled what happened when he was a child, and a smile appeared on his face: "I will say that, I have been yelling that the father is partial to the eldest sister and the second sister. He always complains to me that other people's fathers love their sons and don't like their daughters. On the contrary, he likes his daughter, and his son beats and scolds as if he picked it up." Qiyou never said that Yuxi was partial, but every day he yelled that Yun Qing was partial. Even now, he thinks so.

Tan Aoshuang hurriedly asked: "Has Father ever hit you?"

"I'm so obedient, why would my father beat me. Ah Rui and the others are always doing bad things, so father beat them up in a fit of anger." After speaking, Qi Hao laughed: "Actually, the eldest lady was more skinny than Ah You when she was young. Mother was so angry that she often beat her with a feather duster. Once the elder sister did something bad, she was afraid that mother would beat her and would not come down from the tree, so mother was so angry that she beat her hard."

It was the first time for Tan Aoshuang to hear these things, and she couldn't be happier at the moment: "I didn't expect my eldest sister to be so skinny." Back then, the Pingxi Palace was under the strict management of Yuxi. People outside have never heard of such a thing.

The husband and wife chattered for a long time before falling asleep. Not long after waking up, I heard the heart-piercing cry of a child.

Tan Aoshuang pushed Qi Hao and said: "Brother Tan is awake, Your Majesty, go and have a look."

Qihao glanced at Tan Aoshuang in surprise.

Tan Aoshuang said with a smile: "The last time mother asked me, did you change diapers and bathe Brother Sheng and the others, I said no. Mother said, you are not qualified to be a father, so let me not spoil you. "

Hearing this, Qihao got up resignedly, put on a dress and went to the next room.

Tan Aoshuang looked at his back and smiled, and then followed him.

Brother Tan pulled it off, Qihao was inexperienced, changing his diaper made his hands smelly. After tossing for a long time, the diaper was changed.

The maid brought water over, but Qi Hao asked him to change the water three times and still felt his hands had a bad smell. Even so, he didn't dislike his son, and said to Tan Aoshuang, "Put him on the bed to sleep!" to avoid having to get up to nurse, which is tiring. You have to know that Tan Aoshuang got up and made it when Brother Tan urinated or was hungry.

If it was before, Tan Aoshuang would definitely refuse on the grounds of disturbing Qi Hao's rest. But now, she has learned to be good, she nodded with a smile and said: "Okay."

Brother Tan eats and drinks enough, and sleeps soundly. Qihao touched his son's face and asked, "Sleep when you're full, like a little pig."

"Brother Tan is very obedient, he only needs to get up once a night." So Tan Aoshuang took him with ease.

Qi Hao said: "Brother Sheng got up more often at night when he was a child."

"Yeah, Brother Sheng has to get up three times a night." The three children, Jing Shu, are the best to take care of. After the full moon, they will sleep until dawn. Tan Aoshuang still feels that it is the daughter who loves others.

The husband and wife talked about having children again, and then fell asleep.

At this time, Yunqing and Yuxi are still there! When people get old, they feel less.

Yunqing and Yuxi muttered: "Zaozao and Qirui are back, now Liu'er is missing. I always say yes when I write letters, but I don't know if it's really good?" Without Liu'er, it doesn't count. A family reunion.

Yuxi knew that Yunqing missed Liu'er: "Why don't we go to Fujian to see Liu'er after spring begins." She hadn't seen Liu'er for several years, and she also missed Liu'er and Jiaojiao very much.

"good."

After the new year, Zao Zao told Qi Hao one thing, that is, she wanted to form a female soldier.

When Qihao heard this, he asked, "Sister, do you think you can recruit female soldiers?"

It is deeply rooted in the view that a woman must marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Not to mention being a soldier would lead to death, the casualty rate in Tongcheng is very high, many men don't want to be a soldier and want to escape military service, let alone women. Serving as a soldier is hard work, and few women have endured such hardship. Of course, jujube is an exception. But ordinary women would not join the army unless they had nowhere to go.

However, Zao Zao said confidently: "I will definitely be able to recruit female soldiers. I am afraid that when people are recruited, the imperial court will not recognize it and will not give military pay and supplements." Therefore, Qihao must agree to this matter, and she Only then can we let go and do it.

Qi Hao laughed and said, "As long as you can recruit people, the rations and equipment are not a problem." Even if Zao Zao can recruit female soldiers, there will not be many of them.

After finishing speaking, Qihao said again: "However, the recruited female soldiers must serve until the age of twenty-five." It is impossible to marry and have children after training people.

"That's okay." After the age of twenty-five, it's not too late to want to get married. If you don't want to marry, you can still stay in the army.

Zao Zao is usually picky and fussy. But he was very generous to the disabled soldiers below. Not only did they ask a doctor to see them, but they also paid for their medical expenses. They also helped them solve their difficulties in life without saying a word.

It has only been more than a year since he served as the guard of Tongcheng, and Zao Zao has already spent tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Others always think of saving more property for their children and grandchildren, but Zao Zao doesn't have this idea. She felt that her son was capable of earning money to support the family by himself, and if he was not capable, he would just eat bran and swallow vegetables.

This behavior of Zao Zao won the love and support of the soldiers below, but Wu Jinyu was unwilling.

Wu Jinyu didn't want the family property back then, but she took the family property because she wanted to save for longevity. Now, Zao Zao is such a prodigal, how can he be willing.

Wu Jinyu, who has always been obedient to Zao Zao, quarreled with Zao Zao about this matter. In the end, the husband and wife reached an agreement that Wu Jinyu's inheritance from the Wu family would not be changed, and would be reserved for the three Changsheng brothers, and they could let her control what they earned.

After talking, Zao Zao said: "Ah Hao, I will go back to Tongcheng in a few days. Parents, I will take care of everything." Parents are old and need to be taken care of, but she is not around, Zao Zao feels very guilty about this .

Qi Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of my parents." This was originally what he had to do.
