The first thing Liu Chengyou did when he returned to Beijing was naturally to go to the Ciming Palace to greet Queen Mother Li. This was a matter of love and courtesy. The Queen Mother was naturally overjoyed when the emperor returned, but what made her even happier was Liu Chengxun's family. Three people came back.
She held her grandson Liu Chun in her arms and refused to let go. The little baby called her several times, which made her even more happy. Parents often love their young children very much, and Li couldn't escape this law. She caught Liu Chengxun and asked him this and that, and she was extremely concerned. , for fear that he would suffer hardship in Chang'an.
"Mom, I'm already twenty-three years old!" Regarding Li's enthusiasm, Liu Chengxun was careful and at the same time a little overwhelmed, so he could only remind him with a little helplessness.
"You are thirty-three years old, and you are also my son!" Hearing his words, Li Shifeng stared at him.
Hearing this, Liu Chengxun subconsciously shrank his neck, took the initiative to help Li, and said, "Mother is right!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile again. Her angry expression disappeared and her kind eyes returned. Looking at her young son, she sighed and said, "That's right! In this moment, my Sanlang has indeed grown up and is now a father! But my mother is. Getting older!"
"Mom, you are still young!" Liu Chengxun said sweetly and looked like he was arguing.
Li is now over fifty years old. As a queen mother, although her appearance is well-maintained, it is difficult to withstand the erosion of time. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the gray on her temples all show her age.
After noticing it, Liu Chengxun put away his playful smile, spoke in a deep tone, and said with concern: "Mom, you should take care of yourself! When you were sick last year, you scared me!"
Feeling her son's care, Mrs. Li showed a pleased smile, looked at him, and asked: "How long can I stay in Beijing this time, and do I still have to go out to guard?"
Although the words were directed at Liu Chengxun, he clearly looked at Liu Chengyou who was following silently from the corner of his eye. Observing his words and expressions, Liu Chengyou looked calm and took two steps closer. He supported Li and said, "Sanlang has been in charge of Chang'an these years and has a lot of influence on Guan. The stability of the situation on the right has played a great role. After so many years of experience, he has grown considerably. In my opinion, he can be entrusted with an errand. This time I want him to come back. I plan to let him stay in Tokyo, join the administration of the DPRK, and help To me!"
Hearing what he said, Liu Chengxun glanced at the emperor's brother in surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what position do you plan to take on me?"
"Don't worry, I won't wrong you, the noble prince!" Liu Chengyou said in a brisk tone, appearing very relaxed and immersed in the harmonious atmosphere.
Li said: "No matter what position you are in, just stay in Tokyo!"
Obviously, Mr. Li cares more about it, as long as his children and grandchildren are around him, can see him, and can look at him.
"Sanlang, during this time, you should go to the palace more often and spend time with your mother. She has missed you so much over the years!" Liu Chengyou ordered.
"yes!"
Mrs. Li turned her attention to Liu Chengyou again and said, "When the official family returns to Beijing, it's time to visit the harem!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou's unexpected expression, the Queen Mother pointed her hand and reminded him: "During your absence, two more children were born in the palace. You did the same, but you chose to go on tour when they were giving birth. This is Concubine Zhou Shu's first child. Also Xiao Fu, you are eight months pregnant, and your mood has been a bit depressed recently. If you return to Beijing later, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with her delivery..."
After listening to Li's scolding, Liu Chengyou did not dare to argue. He did not use the "meaning of the tour" to explain away the excuse. He just agreed honestly: "Mom taught you that, but I ignored it a little!"
In the few months since Liu Chengyou left Beijing, Lady Zhou and Lady Zhe gave birth to two princes, making them his seventh and eighth sons.
After staying in Ciming Hall for more than an hour, Liu Chengyou rushed to Qiuhua Hall to visit Concubine Zhexian. She gave birth at the end of March and was already her third child. No matter what happened in official history, in the era of Liu Chengyou, Concubine Zhexian was It does have the attribute of "many children".
In the palace, Lady Zhe still held Liu Fang for careful questioning. Her mother was worried because her son had traveled thousands of miles. After all, he was only a six-year-old boy, and the distance he traveled was still thousands of miles. Liu Fang did not have a peaceful character. Lady Zhe I was also worried about being injured or sick. Fortunately, I came back intact.
Liu Fang was very active and had a lively temperament. When Liu Chengyou arrived, he was telling Lady Zhe about his experiences on the tour. The boy had no logic and his words were scattered, but Lady Zhe listened very seriously and her eyes were encouraging.
"Official!"
He gently lifted Lady Zhe up and said warmly, "No need to be polite!"
The body is in good condition. After more than three months of recovery, the figure has almost recovered, but it is more plump. The long legs and slender waist give Liu Chengyou a strong and powerful feeling. I have the urge to measure the feeling with my own hands, but... When you are at the knees of your son, you should not be dissolute. You must maintain the majesty of your father.
Sitting down, Liu Fang immediately sat at his feet. The fifth son, Liu Yun, was a little more awkward, but he followed his brother's example and sat on the other side, timidly calling "Daddy."
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?" Seeing Liu Yun's unfamiliar expression, Liu Chengyou asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu Yun shook his head, nodded again, his immature face turned red, and finally buried his head.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou had to sigh to himself, there were so many children, it was indeed difficult to take care of them all. He was busy with national affairs, had endless government affairs, endless worries, and the only concern he had for his children was basically fulfilled. As for the four older princes, as for the others, they really don’t have that much energy, so it can be considered a gain and a loss.
"Has this child always been so shy? He blushes when he sees me!" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Madam Zhe who served him tea in person.
Mrs. Zhe said: "She is a bit quiet and doesn't like to talk. After my brother was born, he loved to laugh and was well-behaved. He even took the initiative to help me take care of him..."
"Really? So sensible?" Liu Chengyou touched Liu Yun's head, looked at Lady Zhe, and smiled: "Where is my eighth prince? Come out and show me!"
...
Chunlan Hall is the dormitory of Concubine Hui Xiaofu. The decoration in the palace is not luxurious, but it exudes nobility. In terms of family background, no one in Liu Chengyou's harem can compare with him except his sister Dafu. Therefore, Concubine Hui has always been somewhat arrogant.
The air is filled with a little fragrance that can calm the mind. She is eight months pregnant with a round belly. She is wearing a loose and revealing palace skirt and is quietly leaning on the soft bed in a comfortable posture.
The sky was already getting dark, and the palace attendants were carefully lighting candles to make the palace a little brighter. A female attendant stood respectfully aside and carefully reported: "After returning to the palace, the officials will first go to Ciming Hall to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
After leaving Ciming Hall, he went to Qiuhua Hall and Shulan Hall successively to visit Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu. It seems that he is still with Concubine Shu now..."
Hearing this, Madam Xiao Fu couldn't help but show sadness in her moonlight face, her eyes were full of sadness, and she muttered: "Can the officials even think of visiting Concubine Shu, but they can't even think of me?"
"Madam, don't worry too much. The official may just go to see the two princes, and they may come back later!" Seeing that her mood was a little low, the attendant comforted her.
"Hmph..." The corner of her mouth twitched, and the expression on Madam Xiao Fu's beautiful face became more intense.
At this time, there was a noise outside, but it was the laughter of the eldest princess Liu Jia. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and Mrs. Xiao Fu said: "Go and see what's going on? Keep an eye on Liu Jia, don't let her
Running around!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch ran in quickly and announced happily through the beaded curtain and white gauze: "Madam, the official family is here!"
Hearing this, Madam Xiao Fu suddenly turned from resentment to joy. She held on to the armrest and tried to get up. However, she thought of something and lay back down again. She said calmly: "Well, I understand..."
Outside the hall, a delicate and cute little girl was running around the pillars of the hall, her steps slightly hurried, like Little Red Riding Hood being chased by the big bad wolf, but she was laughing as she ran, and her mouth made a childish and sweet sound.
A tall shadow covered her, and two big hands clamped down on her. After all, she could not escape the grasp. With a crisp cry, Princess Han was held in Liu Chengyou's arms.
"You can't escape!" Liu Chengyou pinched his eldest daughter's nose.
Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of Liu Chengyou's teasing, Liu Jia sweetly called out: "Daddy!"
The eldest princess Liu Jia was less than four years old, but she didn't recognize Liu Chengyou at all. Her bright eyes were full of spiritual energy. She put her little hands around Liu Chengyou's neck and kissed him on the face, leaving some saliva.
Holding his beloved daughter in his arms, Liu Chengyou asked: "Do you miss me?"
"think!"
Liu Chengyou said: "Why are you playing alone outside the palace?"
Liu Jia curled her lips: "Mother doesn't like to laugh, and she doesn't play with me either..."
Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou was thoughtful, and soon showed a soft smile: "Dad is back, I will accompany you! Let's go and see your mother first..."
