"Mom~Mom~, call me mom, son!" Miaoyuan urged while fiddling with his son's little hand.

"The child has just been born. If you want him to call him mother, you have to wait until at least ten months later. Don't waste your energy!" Li Zhang also smiled bitterly at this time. Since he had a child, Li Zhang found that Miaoyuan's attention was focused on the child, which made him feel indifferent.

"Can my son be the same as others?" Miao Yuan immediately said to Li Zhang, then lowered his head to tease his son, which made Li Zhang smile helplessly. I guess in the eyes of every mother, his son is different, right?

"By the way, my mother may doubt our affairs." At this moment, Miao Yuan suddenly thought of something again and spoke immediately.

"What does it mean? How could Concubine Du know about us?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this. Only Zhao Zhen knew about Miaoyuan giving birth, but Zhao Zhen would definitely not tell anyone, and even Empress Dowager Li didn't know, let alone Concubine Du.

"Two days ago, I sent the palace maid to deliver something to my mother, but my mother left the palace maid to ask questions, and she also mentioned you specifically. Based on my understanding of her, she must have guessed something. After all, I haven't entered the palace for so long, so mother will definitely be worried. In addition, we are so close, it would be strange if my mother doesn't doubt it?" Miao Yuan sighed at this time.

After hearing this, Li Zhang felt it made sense, but then he smiled and said, "If you know, you can know. Anyway, you can hide something like having children for a while and not for a lifetime. Concubine Du will know sooner or later. In addition, I think it's a bit deserted to live in the palace. Why do you think it's better to ask His Majesty to take Concubine Du out of the palace so that we can take care of it nearby. What do you think?"

Miaoyuan's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words. In fact, she had long wanted to take Concubine Du out of the palace. According to the rules in the palace, a woman's concubine could go out of the palace with her children after the emperor passed away. However, Miaoyuan had never gotten married, and Concubine Du was used to living in the palace, so she never left the palace.

"But...if my mother lives with me, then our relationship..." But Miaoyuan soon said in a little distress. If Concubine Du lives in the mansion, she would definitely know about her and Li Zhang.

"It's okay, anyway, this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long. After Concubine Du comes, I will explain to her personally. If she is angry, then let her beat me!" Li Zhang said very seriously.

"Go and go! My mother won't hit someone!" Miaoyuan said laughing and crying when she heard this, but Li Zhang's words also relieved her a lot. Speaking of which, although there were many people around her taking care of her, Li Zhang came often, sometimes she still felt a little overwhelmed, especially after giving birth, she felt that her energy was much less. If her mother was here, she could help her.

It is the first month now. According to Qingzhi's rules, he cannot stay at Miaoyuan, so after chatting with Miaoyuan for a while, Miaoyuan was soon sleepy. So Li Zhang coaxed her to sleep and returned home to rest. Qingzhi had long been used to this situation. She was worried that Miaoyuan would threaten her status as a eldest wife, but at least now it seems that Miaoyuan had no other thoughts, so she slowly felt relieved.

The next morning, news of the Gubeikou victory spread, and the entire capital was once again in a carnival. Although the previous capture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun also made the Song people ecstatic, the Song Dynasty took advantage of the Liao civil turmoil and the troops were empty at that time, so many people were worried about the Liao Dynasty's counterattack.

But now all the worries are gone. The Song army and the Liao army have been fighting head-on for two months. Not only did they defend Gubeikou, but they also successfully counterattacked in the end. Not only did they kill nearly 10,000 Liao troops, but they also captured more than 20,000 prisoners. Even the Liao emperor Yelu Zongzhen could only flee in a hurry. This kind of record has never been seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty. After all, since the time of Emperor Taizu, there was no good result against the Liao Kingdom. Even during the Chanyuan Alliance, they could only contribute annual tribute to the Liao Kingdom in order to seek peace.

However, the battle between Yanyun and Gubeikou swept away the decline of the Song Dynasty. The most important thing is that these two battles suddenly enhanced the spirit of the Song people. When facing the Liao people in the future, they would not feel that the dwarfs were the best, which was one of the most important influences.

It is precisely because these two battles are so important that when the news spread, the entire capital fell into a carnival again. Zhao Zhen was not stingy and announced that Dahe was once again three days, and there was no curfew within these three days. At the same time, the Yu Street was filled with banquets again. In addition, many wealthy merchants also joined the carnival and set up banquets at their doorstep to entertain passers-by. As a result, the villagers near the capital were attracted, and the traffic in the entire capital increased several times.

However, it is cold now. If the drunkard falls asleep on the ground, he will definitely be frozen into a dead body the next day. For this reason, the Kaifeng government office has to organize a large number of manpower to pick up drunkards in the streets and alleys every day, and then drag them into the prison. Although the prison is smelly and dirty, at least it cannot be frozen to death. Moreover, the drunkards have to pay some money to go out the next day, otherwise they will have to be kept in for a few more days.

Just when the capital was in a carnival, the end of the battle began in Gubeikou. The Liao army collapsed thousands of miles and finally fled to a place called Leicheng in the northeast before stopping. It was too far from Gubeikou. Liu Ping was worried that there would be problems in going deeper alone, so he stopped in time and then began to count the battlefield. In addition to killing and captive Liao army, he also seized a large number of supplies, such as weapons and armor, but there was no food.

Now the supplies and prisoners of war have been sent south of Gubeikou, and those prisoners of war must also be used to rebuild the Great Wall. With the end of this war, the Great Wall will be completely rebuilt, and the materials from the rear have begun to be transported here, and these prisoners of war are the best coolies.

In addition to prisoners of war, Han Qi also recruited many civil servants, and these civil servants were mainly Khitans. You should know that although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were mainly Han people, there were not a few Khitans, especially many Khitan nobles liked the climate in the south, so many moved here. These Khitans held a large amount of land in their hands, and had sucked blood from the Han people in the past.
