Chapter 54
Lu Xiaobai never expected He Qin to suddenly do this. He didn't even have time to dodge. His face turned red instantly after being caught. He was afraid that He Qin would hurt him and didn't dare to break free.
In fact, he had experienced this feeling before, usually at night and in the morning, but this was the first time he had experienced it in broad daylight, and he felt inexplicably irritated.
Besides, he hadn't seen anything exciting today, so how could this happen?
Lu Xiaobai couldn't figure it out, but he felt quite comfortable being held by He Qin. He nodded slightly and asked, "Do you want it?"
He Qin paused for breath when he heard his question, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Seeing his eyes light up, Lu Xiaobai shrank in fear and quickly explained, "Don't overthink it. I'm just saying we should help each other. I'm not saying I'm going to give birth to a child for you. Wait a little longer. Wait for me for two years. I'm still young and can't have children yet."
Can’t have children?
He Qin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You are eighteen!"
Other guys are eighteen years old and have kids running around.
Lu Xiaobai thought that maybe he would be able to go back in two years. Even if he couldn't go back, he would have the wish of the main system and could make a wish to never have children in his life.
So, so he wanted to delay it.
He curled his lips guiltily and said, "What's wrong with eighteen? Eighteen is still young."
In the modern world, eighteen is still in school and not yet of legal marriage age.
"Besides, He Zhou is already eighteen. Does he have a child?"
Speaking of He Zhou, He Qin frowned and remained silent. After a few breaths, he said, "Zhou Zhou is not in good health and has not yet married."
"That's all, eighteen is still young. Besides, can you lie down and talk? Aren't you tired of supporting yourself on me with one hand like this?"
Lu Xiaobai touched He Qin's arm on her belly, blushed and whispered, "By the way, let me go..."
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's reaction today, He Qin guessed what the soup he drank was for, so he followed his wishes, slowly lay down on his side, and let him go. Then he asked, "Don't you feel uncomfortable when I let you go?"
Lu Xiaobai blushed and said nothing, tacitly agreeing...
…
The rain stopped, and He Zhou poked the charcoal in the basin with a stick out of boredom.
He always thought the palace was boring, but he didn't expect the world outside to be just as boring.
Moreover, the small benches here are really low. Sitting on them is almost like squatting. When you hug your legs, you can even put your chin directly on your knees.
He Zhou looked back at the closed door of the bedroom, imagining the fierce battle going on inside. He felt that it would not be long before he would be able to hug his little nephew.
He chuckled softly, rested his chin on his knees and began to doze off...
He didn't know how long he had slept when he was suddenly awakened by a flash of lightning. He looked up hurriedly and found that it was almost dark and the rain had started to fall again, but the brazier beside him was still burning, so it was not that cold.
He looked back at the bedroom and saw He Qin coming out and walking straight towards him.
He Zhou had just woken up and was a little tired. He looked at the brazier in front of him and said, "Second brother, I want to put the brazier next to the bed tonight."
He Qin looked at the brazier and asked, "Is it cold?"
After sitting for an entire afternoon, He Zhou's face turned pale, and he nodded sickly: "It's cold, I want to go back."
Although the palace is lonely, it is not cold.
At least his brother and mother will do their best to keep him warm.
He Qin looked at his brother's listless appearance, feeling distressed and blaming himself: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll have someone take you home when the rain stops."
Hearing that He Qin had asked someone to take him there, He Zhou instantly perked up and quickly shook his head, saying, "No need. Third Brother has arranged for someone to pick me up."
This is simply nonsense. If He Qin finds someone to send him back to the palace, how can he sneak out to play?
Fortunately, the two elder brothers are not getting along now, so He Qin will definitely ignore him when the third elder brother is mentioned.
Sure enough, as soon as He Zhou brought up his third brother, He Qin immediately stopped talking.
But He Zhou didn't want He Qin to be unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Royal brother, if Brother Feng An comes over, I think it would be better for you to give the Fire Phoenix Pendant to Brother Xiao Bai."
He Qin nodded: "Yes, I'll give it to him tonight."
After He Qin agreed, there was another silence.
He Zhou curled his lips, thinking that he was about to leave and should also convey what his third brother had told him.
But he didn't know how to start, after all, his third brother was really wrong in this matter.
He gritted his teeth, looked at He Qin with a desperate look and said, "Also, my Third Brother asked me to tell you something. He said he was wrong and wants you to go back."
"He's not wrong."
He Qin shook his head gently: "Go back and tell him that I will never go back. The He family's world belongs to him."
He Zhou's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this. He reached out and grabbed the corner of He Qin's clothes: "But, but Third Brother was also deceived. There are still many places that have suffered disasters. Third Brother can't solve it."
"That was a natural disaster. Will crops grow immediately when I return? Will the natural disaster end when I return?"
He Zhou didn't understand the suffering of the people, but his second brother had recently run away, and his third brother was extremely busy. If it weren't for the prime minister's support, the palace would have been in chaos long ago.
Sometimes he would even help deal with memorials that his third brother did not have time to handle, so he saw the specific situation of the disaster.
He Zhou said distressedly: "Are we just going to watch the people starve to death?"
He Qin looked up at He Zhou, wiped the tears from his face, and then shook his head and said, "There's nothing I can do. Let's just leave it to fate."
Although Lu Xiaobai could provide high-yield seeds, he didn't know how much Xiaobai could provide, and the entire country needed more than just a little bit.
Therefore, he couldn't give anyone hope until Lu Xiaobai told him the actual situation.
He Zhou didn't say anything. Although his second brother always kept his word, no matter how much he loved him, he would not change his decision just because of his crying.
He turned his head away, not wanting to look at He Qin.
He Qin patted his head and said, "Don't worry about these things. Go back and find a husband and give your mother a grandson."
"snort."
He Zhou didn't want to pay attention to him, so he snorted and got up and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, Lingsi came out of the kitchen and burned the two pieces of dry firewood with a wooden stick. He then brought the brazier with only open flames into the kitchen.
At this time, Lu Xiaobai also came out yawning. Seeing the brazier being carried into the kitchen, he subconsciously followed.
"Is the meal ready?"
Lu Xiaobai was hungry. He and He Qin had been helping each other in the quilt for the whole morning and slept for the whole afternoon. They hadn't even had lunch. Now it was getting dark, and the first thing on his mind was that it was time for dinner.
But when he walked in, he saw He Zhou sitting at the table with red eyes. There was a brazier under the table and behind him. He hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that He Qin bullied you?"
He Zhou looked at He Qin who had followed him to the door, then shook his head: "No."
If He Qin didn't bully anyone, why was he crying?
Lu Xiaobai was a little confused, and after thinking for a while he asked, "Then why are you crying? Are you missing home?"
"Not really." He Zhou lowered his head and looked at the rice porridge prepared by Ling Si in front of him, which also contained oil, salt and lean meat, and tears suddenly flowed out.
"I just remembered that people were starving to death in many places, but I could still eat rice."
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then quickly advised him: "You are not in good health, it's okay to eat some rice. As for starving people to death, that has nothing to do with you. You can't just not eat because they are about to starve to death. Besides, let's talk..."
Besides, he still has seeds, and the cabbage is his golden finger.
He quickly checked the planting coins in his mind and found that he actually had 100,000 planting coins. Based on the rate of 30 planting coins per kilogram of rice seeds, he could buy more than 3,000 kilograms, enough for many people to plant.
As long as we hold on for another half a year, no one will starve to death.
Lu Xiaobai thought three thousand kilograms of seeds was a lot, but he wasn't sure if it was enough. Seeing He Qin standing at the door, he ran over, threw himself into his arms, and asked, "He Qin, how many kilograms of seeds does your country need for planting in a year?"
In ancient times, crop yields were small, so we shouldn't need too much. We can just save some when the time comes.
He Qin was stunned when he heard his question. He then hurriedly pulled him back to the room and said angrily with a sullen face, "Do you know what you are asking?"
Lu Xiaobai gritted his teeth and nodded: "I know, I said it last time, I can give you a lot of seeds. If, if I can give you the seeds you need, you can sell them next year..."
He Qin frowned: "I'm going to sell them. How can a small vendor like me get so many seeds? Don't you think people will be suspicious?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai was speechless for a moment.
Yes, no matter in modern times or ancient times, many things have to have a history. If he takes out so many things at once, he will definitely be noticed.
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head in disappointment and said, "But we can't just ignore it. Isn't there an emperor? He's the most powerful person. We can go to him for cooperation and ask him to keep it a secret for us. He can cover up this matter. As the emperor is in a higher position, it's impossible for him not to want to save the people."
Hearing this, He Qin's eyes darkened, and he said in a gloomy voice, "But as a superior, if I knew you had such power, I would either kill you or... imprison you!"
He Qin's words seemed to scare Lu Xiaobai. Lu Xiaobai's face turned pale as paper, and even his lips were trembling.
Looking at his appearance, He Qin asked distressedly: "Are you scared?"
