Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Haochen and Qinghe were leaning against each other in the pavilion. The two people who fell in love for the first time had countless things to say in their hearts. It wasn't until very late that Haochen reluctantly let go of Qing He, "You must have been exhausted on the way back from overseas. It's my fault that I forced you to chat with me here. Let's go, I'll take you back to rest. If you have something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow." Haochen took Qinghe's hand and walked to Qinghe's yard together.

Qinghe came back this time and drifted on the boat for several months, which was indeed hard work. But when you can be with the one you love, this hard work doesn't matter. It was getting late at this time, and it was difficult to be with Haochen anymore, so Qinghe followed Haochen obediently and returned to his yard.

Her girls were walking back and forth in the yard, waiting anxiously. When they saw that their girl was back, they all gathered around happily. The leading girl stepped forward with a smile, "Girl, it's better to rest quickly. You will be tired from our journey."

Qinghe nodded, then looked back at Haochen, "Brother Haochen, you should go back and rest quickly. Tomorrow." Qinghe stopped talking.

But Haochen understood, "Okay, you can rest peacefully, I will take care of everything." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qinghe also went back to the house to rest, surrounded by the girls.

Haochen walked refreshed all the way to the courtyard in Qingyuan, where they all lived together. Just when they were halfway there, they saw Qingyuan and Qingyao jumping out of the flowers on the roadside, "Brother Haochen, congratulations to you. You have a beautiful woman in your arms. I am happy to miss Shu."

"I have to thank you two. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been able to get what I wanted so quickly." Haochen sincerely thanked Qingyuan and the two.

"As long as you treat Sister Qinghe well, it will be fine. We two brothers are hiding in the flowers with mosquito bites all over our heads." Qingyao smiled and let Haochen look at his face. Sure enough, There are several red bumps.

"Okay, you, go back to the house and sleep quickly. I have ointment there. I'll put it on you later. Let's go to bed quickly. Brother Haochen will have to mention this to my mother tomorrow. Otherwise, this house There are too many servants here, and if there is any gossip, wouldn't it ruin Sister Qinghe's reputation?" Qingyuan smiled and patted his brother on the back of the head, then turned to Haochen and said.

The rules of etiquette in the south are much stricter than those in the north. In the north, if men and women talk alone for a while, it is not criticized, but in the south, it is probably a big deal. If word gets out that these two people are alone together tonight, I'm afraid Qinghe's reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life.

Haochen knew the seriousness of this matter and nodded solemnly, "Well, I will definitely tell Auntie. When the time comes, I hope you can help me talk more."

"Okay, brother, what are you talking about? Let's go to bed." Qingyao waved his hand and was the first to go back to the house to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Haochen went to Jinghan's yard and asked to see Jinghan.

"Haochen, why did you come to see your aunt? You were in such a hurry that you came here early in the morning." Jinghan understood what Zixuan said last night. The boy in front of him actually dared to covet his own daughter. Well, he was quite courageous. Jinghan decided that she would give him a hard time today to make him understand that although Qinghe was the adopted daughter of the Lin family, she was not something he could just get.

"Aunt, my nephew is nineteen, and he has never chosen a concubine." Haochen said hesitantly.

Jinghan raised her eyebrows, "You didn't choose a concubine. That's your royal family's business. The current emperor and queen are your biological parents, so they will naturally make arrangements for you." After saying this, Jinghan felt angry. This one in front of her Brat, but the prince will still be the emperor in the future. By then, there will be three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and all the beauties in the world. If Qinghe married him, wouldn't she have to compete with a lot of women for her husband?

When Haochen saw Jinghan's unkind expression, he felt even more upset. Don't look at it in the eyes of outsiders. He is a prince, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. But in front of my aunt, it really had no effect at all. Even his father obeyed his aunt, so how could he dare to put on airs with her?

"Aunt, Haochen already has a girl he likes in his heart, so he didn't let my father choose a concubine for me. Aunt, my nephew likes Qinghe, and he hopes that my aunt will fulfill his wish." Haochen knows that his aunt doesn't like others to beat around the bush. , so he worked hard and expressed his thoughts directly.

Jinghan looked at the big boy in front of her quietly. After all, he was still a child with a tender face. As soon as he said this, his face turned red. She sighed, "Haochen, when you said this, my aunt didn't know what to say. You are the prince, you will be the emperor in the future, and I am afraid you will have countless concubines in the future. A man will not only have one woman in his heart. Especially an emperor. I can't let Qinghe marry you. Qinghe should marry a well-matched man and live a peaceful and happy life. "

"Auntie, I have never chosen a concubine, I just want to wait for Qinghe. I don't want a group of wives and concubines, I just want to live with Qinghe. Auntie, not every man wants so many women. Master, my uncle, and the elders of the Xu family, don’t they all live with one wife? I haven’t seen them taking concubines? Auntie, I only envy such a life. I just want to be like my uncle and master, and be together for the rest of my life. This is what I want." Haochen was a little anxious, so he said it all without hesitation.

Jinghan looked at Haochen in surprise, but she didn't expect this child to have such thoughts. "Haochen, you have to know that your master and I are both from peasant families. Farmers don't like the idea of ​​three wives and four concubines. We all live alone. As for your uncle, I have to say that he He is an outlier among the royal family. He has been accustomed to the strife in the harem since he was a child, so he is tired of having three wives and four concubines. But men in this world can hold high positions like your uncle and keep their own rights. Heart, how many such people can there be?”

"You are the prince, and too many people's hopes are placed on you. And since you bear these responsibilities, you have to make sacrifices. Your marriage must not be according to your wishes. There is only one woman. Too many people's eyes , are all focused on you. They are eager to send their daughters to you to seek unparalleled wealth and glory. Haochen, my aunt does not want a good girl like Qinghe to end up as a harem, just like a beautiful girl. The flowers will eventually wither.”

"My child, I am also doing this for your own good. These things are all things you have to face. Qinghe's parents are just ordinary people. Although I love Qinghe, I am just her adoptive mother. If Qinghe is really If I follow you, we probably won't have much power to support Qing He. The court is so turbulent, can you bear to let a simple girl like Qing He fall into this? "Jing Han really doesn't want to do that. Let Qinghe be involved in all this, "Qinghe has suffered so much since she was a child, and my aunt couldn't bear it, so she went to a place like the palace where she eats people without spitting out their bones."

Jinghan never hesitates when speaking, she dares to say this even in front of the emperor.
