After the queen withdrew, the emperor turned to Bai Xinglan and asked curiously: "Lan'er, is this little seventh girl a maid in your house?"
"No." Bai Xinglan shook his head towards the emperor and said, "She was accidentally met by my nephew when he was in Mo Country. Because he thought she looked very much like the emperor's aunt, he thought of bringing her back. Let’s meet the Emperor’s uncle.”
Ye Qiqi cast a curious look at Bai Xinglan.
Logically speaking, since Bai Xinglan calls the emperor his uncle, he should call the queen his aunt. But now, he actually calls her deceased mother the emperor's aunt, and only calls the queen the empress. This is really It’s a bit unjustifiable.
"Mo Kingdom??" The emperor was startled for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and sighed softly: "Back then, your aunt always shouted that she wanted to go outside the palace for a walk. She also told me that if it was true, After leaving the palace, the first country she went to was Mo Country... "
Her mother wants to go to Mo country?
Ye Qiqi looked at the emperor with curiosity. She didn't know much about her mother. Now when her father mentioned it, she didn't know why, but she felt a little familiar.
"I wonder, Miss Xiao Qi, who else is in the family?" The emperor probably heard that Ye Qiqi was from Mo country, so his eyes towards her suddenly became much softer.
"Return to the Emperor." Ye Qiqi saluted him meticulously, firmly remembering the movements Mo Hanqing taught him before, and then replied respectfully: "Xiao Qi has been with Grandpa since she was a child. We depend on each other and have never met our parents.”
"Have you never met your parents?" The emperor was slightly startled, then sighed and said, "He is also a poor child."
…
Bai Xinglan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this.
This guy's life experience is so pitiful.
Her grandfather is the world's best martial arts master today. The people she has been in contact with since she was a child are either the world's best calligrapher, the world's best piano player, or the world's best miracle doctor. She knows almost every word, okay?
"How old are you this year??" Emperor General Ye Qiqi said nothing, thinking that she was sentimental about her life experience, so he continued to ask her.
"To return to the emperor, Xiao Qi is thirteen years old this year." Ye Qiqi replied seriously.
"Thirteen years old..." The emperor sighed again and said: "I think back then, when I first met Yue'er, she had just turned thirteen at that time. She was in her prime years. She was riding on a horse and turned her head. Come, smile sweetly at me, that cheerful look, I just took one look at it and decided that I would never marry anyone but her in this life... "
Ye Qiqi blinked, not knowing what to say.
Bai Xinglan saw that the emperor was about to reminisce about the past time again, and quickly interrupted: "Uncle Emperor, I just heard the queen say that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a while, you are going to select a girl, or else, let me Seven, go and participate.”
"She?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Qiqi.
"Isn't this... okay??" Bai Xinglan twitched the corners of his mouth and asked hesitantly.
He couldn't tell the emperor directly, uncle, just accept her as his concubine, right?
The emperor was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said: "The little girl is only thirteen years old. It's better to find a good family to marry. Why waste your time in this palace."
