Chapter 224 The crying little queen mother (4)
Lin Yan leaned over timidly, moved step by step, and then chose the seat farthest away from him to sit down. Looking at the food on the table, she couldn't help but swallow.

But the fear in her heart prevented her from taking action immediately. Instead, she raised her eyes to look at the man in charge, expecting him to use the chopsticks first.

However, the man didn't seem to notice. Instead, he reached out and knocked on the table, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Do you know why I kept you?" His tone was a bit bewildering, mixed with a bit of nostalgia.

"Why?" Lin Yan asked cooperatively.

Xia Jingyan curled his lips and seemed to be lost in memories, "I remember that when I was seven years old, a little girl gave me a steamed bun. At that time, I was so hungry that I was dizzy. If it weren't for this little girl, I might have been hungry. Died that day."

"Little girl?"

"Yes, a four-year-old girl. I searched for a long time and finally found her." His tone showed a bit of joy, and his eyes looking at her were a bit gentle, as if he were looking at an old friend.

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and asked with some uncertainty: "How old do you think this little girl is?"

"Four years old."

"Is that the little girl you're talking about me?" She pointed to herself uncertainly.

Xia Jingyan was already a little impatient, and the smile on his face was a little tired. His tone became a little more serious and he said, "Yes!"

"Then the emperor may have found the wrong person. The Ai family did not enter the palace when they were four years old. Moreover...when the emperor was seven years old, the Ai family was only two years old."

"..."

As the child of a singer, she is not only a concubine, but also has a relatively low status. There is no sense of presence in the house. If the father is not married and the mother does not love him, how can he have the opportunity to be brought to the palace banquet?

A four-year-old girl giving steamed buns to a seven-year-old boy? It's a good thing he was able to make up this story.

Lin Yan glanced at the man with a bad expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

Probably in his mind, she would grab the pole and climb up, acknowledging that the kindness was from her. Thus leaving a special place in his heart, wouldn't he be able to directly dominate in this palace in the future?
However, he overestimated her, a single-minded person who had never experienced the world and did not know how to socialize. Straightforward is the way she lives her life.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family feels that your people may not have been investigated carefully, otherwise the Ai family would not have been investigated. If the emperor wants to repay his kindness, he must repay the favor to the right person. If that girl knows that you regard me as her, then How sad?" She said seriously, with a hint of sincerity.

Black lines appeared on Xia Jingyan's forehead. Does this stupid woman really don't understand or is she stupid? But this sincere look made him suddenly confused as to what to do with her.

Lin Yan was still persuading, "Does the Emperor like that girl? If he does, go find her. The Ai family will bless you two and will never break you up. The Ai family promises!" She will definitely be a good person. A very good mother-in-law.

"That's enough!" He roared, completely losing his previous kind look. He looked moody, just like the rumors.

It was just a bit of teasing. I thought she would go on as she imagined, but I didn't expect to get such an answer. For a moment, the teasing thoughts were extinguished.

The harem was heavily guarded. Where could a four-year-old girl easily enter? Not to mention taking out a big steamed bun.

Everything was just made up by him, wanting to know what choices this woman would make in order to survive. But the result was unexpected, and he didn't know how to react for a while. Just listening to her chattering, the violent factor in physical strength couldn't help but roar, so I couldn't help but roar.

After yelling, he feels better, so violence is more suitable for him.

He just raised his eyes and saw that the little Queen Mother opposite her pursed her lips and her eyes were soaked with tears. She was looking at him anxiously. The big tears were falling down like they were worthless. The baby fat that had not yet faded off made her especially pitiful.

"Am I scary?" He asked impatiently with a gloomy face.

Lin Yan hesitated for a while and shook his head tremblingly, but the tears were still falling.

"In that case, why are you crying?"

"Aijia, Aijia likes to cry, what's wrong?" she said stubbornly.

Xia Jingyan snorted coldly, "It's useless even if you are afraid of me. The harem is empty and has no one to manage it. As the master of the harem, you should be in charge. The Phoenix Seal will be handed over to you later, so don't even think about leaving the palace. You are here. s home!"

Later, there were no more concubines in the harem, but the master of the harem did not just manage the concubines, there were so many palace people waiting for her to dispatch. All matters in the harem are also waiting for the master to handle.

This is completely treating her as free labor.

In the eyes of others, this is the best thing. After all, the Phoenix Seal is what every woman dreams of. But in Lin Yan's view, this was a hot yam.

It's natural for her to manage things well. What should I do if there is a fire in the backyard due to poor management? Will it accelerate the demise of this dynasty?
It's not like she will be destroyed. What if Xia Jingyan gets upset and stabs her?
"Aijia...can I not have Aijia?" Her tears had stopped, but her eyes were still moist. Because I had cried, my voice was still a little choked.

"No." He replied coldly.

"Oh." She lowered her head aggrievedly, pouting to express her dissatisfaction, but after a while, she felt her stomach growl.

She was hungry, so she raised her head, looked at the steaming food, swallowed, and then asked cautiously: "Can the Ai family use chopsticks?"

Xia Jingyan laughed angrily at her useless look. How did the Imperial Master figure out that this woman was a lucky person? As expected, he is a magic stick who doesn't understand anything.

"What if I don't let you?" he said harshly.

Lin Yan was stunned and retracted his gaze, "Then the Ai family won't eat. Anyway, it's not like they haven't gone hungry in these years."

As the concubine of the prime minister's house, although the servants were polite to her on the surface, in fact, they didn't need much respect for an unpopular concubine.

Cold meals are a common occurrence, and sometimes the servants who serve want to be lazy and don't help with the meals. The timid original owner just asked, but the other party blocked her mouth on the grounds that there was no food in the kitchen.

For countless days and nights, she was worried about her daily meals. It’s okay to be bullied, but it’s too difficult to have enough food and clothing.

But what can be done? She is just a helpless concubine.

When Xia Jingyan heard this, he looked a little stunned.
