Chapter 665: Chapter 647 Battlefield Knows No Father or Son_1
"Stop being silly. Little Yanyan is still so small, how would she know how to speak!"
Su Pan’er found it especially funny and hurriedly tugged at his sleeve. "I had the servant prepare your favorite food, you should have some snacks to pad your stomach and prevent gastric damage from hunger."
As she spoke, she instructed Xiao Min, who was behind her, to fetch the snacks.
Xiao Min swiftly retreated and soon returned, carrying several plates of little pastries.
"I don’t particularly enjoy these items. You should not busy yourself with such matters; you need to rest more and avoid tiring yourself out," Qin Yi said.
Qin Yi did not like sweet food, but under Su Pan’er’s enthusiastic gaze, he hesitatedly handed over Little Yanyan to her and reluctantly accepted the pastries and ate some.
"I’m fine! When I am with the soldiers, we always eat together. Therefore, there’s no chance for me to go hungry!"
Seeing his lack of concern, Su Pan’er glanced at him sternly.
"Your stomach has a memory. If you eat at certain times today and do not eat tomorrow, it will still secrete gastric acid according to that memory to digest food. If there’s no food in your stomach, wouldn’t that mean it has to grind on an empty stomach? You must take this seriously. Otherwise, when you get older and your body can’t handle it, you’ll be crying for help."
While she spoke, she handed over Little Yanyan to Qingwen standing aside.
Qingwen, being vigilant, took Little Yanyan away. Soon, the food was served, including Qin Yi’s favorite steamed pork with rice flour.
This pork dish, made to Qin Yi’s liking, used potatoes as a base. The inch-long ribs, covered with a golden-yellow and fragrant grain powder, tasted soft, glutinous, and sweet when eaten - Qin Yi’s favorite flavor.
Because he liked it, Qin Yi took initiative. Before Su Pan’er could do so, he took a piece and fed it directly into her mouth.
"Be careful when you eat, so that the bone in the meat doesn’t hurt your tongue," he said, chuckling, and took a piece for himself.
Su Pan’er glared at him. Although the meat was something he had prepared for her, it seemed like she was chewing his flesh. It took her a long time to swallow.
Just as she was about to say something, Qin Yi foiled her plan by putting another piece of rib into her mouth.
Su Pan’er glared at him again, but he took no notice of it and continued to enjoy his Napa cabbage, nodding his head, "Mm, this vegetable is delicious, tender!"
He purposefully avoided the steamed pork dish she had prepared and Su Pan’er wasn’t pleased. She directly picked up five to six pieces of the steamed pork into his bowl, and then added two more Four Happiness Meatballs and Konjac Duck, stacking his bowl like a small mountain.
Yet, Qin Yi didn’t say a word. He didn’t even look at her, continuing to enjoy his meal and leaving a frustrated Su Pan’er waiting for his reaction.
Qin Yi kept eating, laughing inwardly.
He felt that the happiest moment of his day was staying with this little woman; just looking at her face was enough!
Whether she was laughing, crying, angry, daydreaming, or being upset, she always had a different charm that he could never get enough of, never tire of!
After dinner, the maidservants quickly cleared up the table and served tea. Only then did Qin Yi speak to her about Qin Zitong’s current deployment of troops.
"It looks like the troops will be at our gates in the following days. I have made all the necessary preparations and will do my utmost to defend Hezhong Prefecture and guard the legitimacy of our Great Zhou dynasty."
"That’s good news," Su Pan’er said with a somewhat listless look. "We are about to go to war again. It’s a pity, once the soldiers collide, the poor commoners on the way will suffer again."
This comment left Qin Yi speechless for quite a while.
"Many of the commoners in the city have already evacuated overnight upon hearing the news. I was thinking, you should take the child and the families of your subordinates, and follow the crowd into the Qinling mountains. Once you enter the mountains, it wouldn’t be easy for these troops to search for you, even if they wanted to."
Although Pan’er had great abilities, Little Yanyan was still too young.
And then there were all those womenfolk belonging to his subordinates, who ultimately needed someone to step forward to lead them to evacuate to the rear, so that they too could fight without any concerns.
After a moment of silence, Su Pan’er asked softly, "I heard Qin Zitong has sent fifty thousand troops, and that the commanding general is Jun Ruochen?"
The smile on Qin Yi’s face turned slightly somber, he didn’t hide anything from her, nodding his head.
"Yes! Seeing each other on the battlefield is only a matter of time. There is no father and son on the battlefield, let alone brothers! I was thinking if you left, even if we really face each other in the future, I and he can fight without any reservations!"
Su Pan’er fell silent again.
The tidings caused immense waves in her heart, her chest pained for quite a while, until her throat choked up.
"Can’t we avoid it?"
Qin Yi swallowed, and with a hardened heart, shook his head.
He said softly, "His Majesty is the crown prince personally designated by the late emperor, and is the lawful heir to the throne. Qin Zitong is a traitorous official, so his succession to the throne is naturally illegitimate. Yet the Jun Family has meritorious service, naturally, they could never switch to support His Majesty. Unless you and I give up supporting Fei’er, the battle is inevitable..."
Giving up supporting Fei’er was definitely not an option!
Seeing that the two sides have already drawn lines, Su Pan’er naturally understood these, her question was just a slim hope!
Hearing Qin Yi’s words, the hope in her eyes dimmed.
"Alright! I will take the womenfolk into the mountains, I will not interfere in your affairs."
Listening to Pan’er’s noticeably hoarse voice, Qin Yi silently tightened his hold on her hand.
"You don’t need to worry about the others either. The other evacuating womenfolk are taken care of by special officers, you only need to take good care of Little Yanyan. Entrusting Little Yanyan to you gives me the utmost peace of mind. As soon as there is good news, I will notify you promptly."
"Yes, I will definitely protect Little Yanyan."
Su Pan’er stared into his eyes very seriously as she spoke, then she remembered something else, "You said that Brother Ye personally informed you about this? Brother Ye has come from Jingzhao Prefecture? Why didn’t you invite him to the mansion, if only for a meal or a chat?"
"He still has things to do. I tried to persuade him, but he insisted that His Majesty is too young and can’t be left without an advisor, so he hurried back."
Qin Yi lied effortlessly: "Besides, His Majesty particularly trusts Hua Gelao, so I guess he couldn’t rest easy and rushed back overnight."
Initially in the chaos, Imperial Consort Hua was able to escape the Imperial Palace with Qin Feimo, all thanks to Hua Gelao’s great contributions.
Since then, after ascending the throne, His Majesty had been showing special favor to Hua Gelao, frequently asking for his advice on public affairs. He could be said to be second only to one person and above all!
As a result, Ye Han and Qin Yi’s influence at His Majesty’s side had been greatly reduced.
It was for this reason that Qin Yi was deployed to the frontlines to guard the region.
