A piece of Japanese incense

Nanyin was eagerly waiting for the adults to take their seats after being polite. When she heard her grandfather say, "You've come all the way here, everyone should start eating," she immediately picked up her chopsticks and started to pick up the fish in front of her and put it into her mouth.

"My dear, how can you be so rude? The guests haven't even started eating yet." The grandmother looked at her kindly.

"We've been sitting in the car for a whole day, and we're all starving, let alone the children. Haha." Aunt Hong picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in Yihe's bowl. "Eat it quickly, child."

Nan Yin chuckled and glanced at Yu Nian who was sitting diagonally opposite her. He lowered his head, put his hands under the table, and drooped his eyelids. She thought that he might not be used to the unfamiliar environment. She scooped a spoonful of fish soup with a spoon, put a few small pieces of fish meat in the spoon and handed it to Yu Nian: "Brother Yu Nian, you have to try this steamed fish. I just took a bite and it's so delicious!"

Yu Nian quickly used the bowl to catch it, his eyes unconsciously became soft, and he smiled slowly and said: "Thank you."

The corners of my grandmother's mouth turned up, revealing a peaceful smile: "Your name is Yu Nian, which Nian?"

"Madam, Nian means to miss. My mother was mourning for my father, so she named me Yu Nian."

"This name is good. It's similar to our little girl's name. My daughter's name is Yunhe, and the little girl's name is Yihe. The meaning is Yunhe, hahaha." The grandmother's face suddenly darkened. "But, the top scholar doesn't look down on our humble family. He has already married the princess and become the prince consort." The grandmother glanced at Zhi Yian with disdain.

"Okay, okay, why did we get to this point? The imperial decree cannot be violated. There's nothing we can do about it." Grandfather tugged at grandmother's sleeve.

"But she and the princess already have a child, so what's He He? What about Yihe? Is she going to be a concubine's daughter?" Grandma slammed her chopsticks on the table excitedly.

The table suddenly became quiet, and everyone silently put down their bowls and chopsticks. The silent air was filled with awkwardness, which was suffocating. Time seemed to have stopped, and every second seemed like a long year, which was unbearable. Everyone seemed to be bound by an invisible rope, and dared not make a sound. Mother's eyes wandered, looking at the floor, and Aunt Hong pretended to casually glance at other corners of the room, eagerly looking for a way out of embarrassment.

"Mother, I have petitioned His Majesty many times, requesting that He He be made an equal wife to the princess. I will also conduct a thorough investigation into Yihe's kidnapping this time, and will not let them suffer any injustice," Zhi Yian said calmly.

"Mom, this is the first time that Sister Hong and Xiao Nian are having dinner at our house. Don't talk about these unpleasant things. You have watched Yi An grow up. You know clearly how he treats me."

Nan Yin looked at her mother with her eyes downcast, her fingers running over her sleeves, her lips curled, and she turned the teacup from time to time.

"Oh! It's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned such unhappy things! Today is a good day. Let's all raise our glasses to welcome the new member to our family!" Grandmother waved her hand.

"Yes, yes. I haven't formally thanked you and your son, Miss Hong, for saving my darling granddaughter. From now on, you should treat this place as your own home and don't be polite to us!"

"We are lucky, mother and son. We got a great deal."

……

Everyone talked at once, and the atmosphere became more relaxed...

Nan Yin didn't care about their grudges. She picked up a sesame cake and started eating it. She took a chopstick with her left hand and scooped a big spoonful with her right hand. She was full soon and felt that every cell in her body was filled with delicious food. The deep sense of satisfaction made her forget all her worries temporarily.

While the adults were still toasting, she saw Yu Nian gradually put down his chopsticks. She walked over to him and asked, "Brother, are you full?"

Yu Nian nodded, so she took Yu Nian and took some ribs and chicken legs to find Fuguier. Fuguier was obviously not used to the new environment, hiding behind a tree in the corner. When he saw Yu Nian appear, he ran out "Woof woof woof". The two servants saw them coming with food and retreated with a sense of relief.

The chirping of birds came through the window. Nan Yin sat up, not yet fully awake. She rubbed her eyes and drew aside the gauze curtain. The splendor of the whole room came into view. Beside the soft couch, two maids about her age were each holding a fan and fanning the room with their eyes closed. The floor was covered with a thick velvet carpet with a ruyi pattern. In the middle of the snow-white walls was a round table, covered with a tablecloth embroidered with auspicious grass gourds and shining satin.

"Yutuan, Yutuan, don't sleep anymore, wake up girl!"

Nan Yin watched them stand up in a panic, she smiled and said, "Good morning!"

The two looked at each other blankly, then looked at Nanyin, then laughed. Yuyi said, "The girl went out for a walk, and her temperament has changed. She used to cry when she saw cats and dogs, but yesterday she fell asleep while holding a puppy."

Nan Yin quickly lowered her gaze to the ground, fearing that if she made contact with their eyes, it would be revealed that she had become a different person at heart.

She was held by two people, changed her clothes, rinsed her mouth, wiped her face, and then was dragged to the dressing table and had her hair tied into two small buns.

After all the operations, Nanyin heard her stomach rumbling.

Under the guidance of Yutuan and Yuyi, she walked drowsily into a room where her grandmother and others were already having breakfast. "Oh, little lazy cat, you've woken up. We were planning to lift your quilt in a while." After her grandmother said this, everyone burst into laughter.

When Nanyin heard Yutuan Yuyi greeting her from behind, she also bowed symbolically.

"Okay, okay, come here and eat. We have your favorite crystal winter melon dumplings." Mother pulled her to the dining table and said.

Before she even sat down, Nanyin's eyes lit up: "Wow! Whose meal is so good so early in the morning! Porridge, noodles, cakes and pastries, it's so rich! Wow!" She thought to herself, while picking up the bowl of porridge and taking a sip. The delicate rice grains and yam particles melted in her mouth, and an indescribable warmth overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

Yu Nian looked at her with a smile in his eyes. He saw that although she was holding a green dumpling in her hand, her eyes were constantly looking at every food on the table. Finally, her gaze stopped on a tray of dumplings in the distance. He smiled and picked up a dumpling for her and put it on the plate. Yu Tuan immediately pushed a dish of vinegar in front of her. Yihe picked up the translucent soup dumpling and put it directly into her mouth. The soup exploded in her mouth, and she shook her body excitedly.

"After this ordeal, I have improved a lot. Before, I could only eat a few bites even if several people fed me. Now, I am not picky about food."

When Nan Yin saw her father staring at her and talking, she felt a chill run down her feet.

She began to slow down her eating movements, fearing that they would discover that she was not Zhi Yihe at all.

Finally, after finishing breakfast, Yu Nian followed his father away. His grandfather was going to the palace, and his grandmother also took his mother and Aunt Hong to the pharmacy.

Nan Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately they are all busy, it's better to be busy~"

"Girl, what shall we play today? Let Yuzhu show you some Kung Fu?"

Nan Yin felt that she had to plan carefully how to play the role of Zhi Yihe, otherwise she would be exposed sooner or later. So she shook her head, returned to her yard, and sat on the swing.

She closed her eyes, hugged the rope on the swing, and carefully recalled the past time of Zhi Yihe, what she had seen and heard...
