It's a different world when he arrives at Li Xiuning's house. Because he has to pay attention to the impact, he usually doesn't hang around in Li Xiuning's house.
It was just that I had little free time today, so I took Li Xiuning for a walk in the bamboo forest in front of the tryst place, while telling Li Sanniang to go out for a walk often and not to get angry easily.
Apparently they knew what Li Yuan had said at the house.
Li Xiuning was in a happy mood. She neither complained that he had not come to visit for a long time, nor did she say anything about what would happen to the child in the future. She only said that the eldest brother looked a little tired. Although state affairs were important, he still had to pay attention to his health.
When meeting such a well-informed and expressive confidante, what else can a man say besides feeling guilty for neglecting her?
The summer wind blew slowly, and the green bamboos were swaying. Li Po sighed and said, "When I came south, I just wanted to live a leisurely life with a little money and roam in the forest. I didn't expect that I would accidentally become the leader of a country."
Jun, you said that because of this incident, even a little leisure time has become precious."
This is the truth, but it sounds full of pretentiousness.
Li Xiuning was also amused by him, "Brother, please don't imitate those hermits in the forest. Although people are stupid at that time, they are often called sages, but such a group of people will not benefit the country or the family. They hide in the corner and criticize.
If you say harsh words about current affairs, what kind of hero do you think you are?"
Li Po laughed, "I can't hide now even if I want to. He Chou previously advised me to take control of the government, appoint talents, and not do everything by myself. I think what he said is right. Maybe it will be easier then?"
Looking at the tired young emperor, Li Xiuning couldn't help but think of his father Li Yuan. Of course, apart from the fact that they both became emperors, they didn't have much in common.
But I think they all have the same intention, they all want to take the world into their hands and govern it properly so that future generations can remember their achievements.
This is the career of an emperor. It is very simple to say, but extremely difficult to do. In fact, once you reach that position, who can really relax? Otherwise, wouldn't you become a drunken king?
So she wisely changed the subject, "Can you walk around if you feel relaxed? I heard that the Turkic Khan wants to form an alliance with the big brother. Is it already settled?"
Li Po nodded, there was nothing he couldn't say about this, "If nothing unexpected happens, it probably won't change. It's just that it's still early. It would be good to meet next year...
I don’t know what kind of woman she is, I’ll have to take a good look at it then.”
Li Xiuning sighed and said: "Actually, they are all pitiful people. Princess Dayi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty. These married women married far away from Mobei, and they all had missions...
If the hatred of the country and the family is mixed together, it will definitely be full of bitterness. Brother, please be careful when you go to meet me."
Li Po smiled and didn't say anything else. If the two great powers of the north and the south formed an alliance, there would definitely be some dangers, but there was no need to worry too much. Everyone still wanted to save face.
If there were ambushes everywhere in the place where the alliance would be held... Li Po imagined such a scene and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Wouldn't it be like a joke?
The two of them talked and walked deep into the bamboo forest. The branches and leaves were swaying, the shade was cool, the birds were chirping, and the insects were humming constantly, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Li Po again remembered what his mother-in-law said about raising chickens in the woods. He looked around and said, "There are so many weeds here. It's time for you to tidy up your place. I'll send someone over to tidy up your house and garden someday."
, and raise more living animals, otherwise it will always feel deserted."
Li Xiuning smiled gently, and then she realized that the mansion was very dilapidated. Li Po then said that he would send someone to repair the mansion for her, so that she could find some sense of connection with her.
She nodded simply, "It's time to repair it, otherwise when the child is born, his parents will be told that his parents are incompetent and only give him a shabby mansion."
Li Po also smiled and glanced at her belly, "Then he was born in a blessing and didn't know how lucky he was. There are not many people in the world who can live in such a mansion. If he asks for too much, what will happen to his parents?"
But I can’t give it to him.”
Li Xiuning's heart trembled slightly. After looking at Li Po's expression, she finally couldn't hold it back and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you think it's better for me to give birth to a boy or a daughter?"
Li Po said casually as if nothing happened: "You don't have to think so much, men and women are just ordinary, how can they really lack their splendor and wealth?
You should educate them well when they are born. I believe that with a mother like you, the children will understand the rules and will not blame their parents."
After listening to his words, Li Xiuning felt a little at ease. She had been struggling with this issue since she found out she was pregnant. She naturally wanted a boy, but that would involve a lot of things, so her daughter didn't have to worry too much.
After hearing what Li Po said today, she felt a little confident. Who knows what will happen next? She can only take it one step at a time.
Li Po had already thought enough about this matter and didn't want to say anything more, so he continued: "By the way, you should also have a title. How about Mrs. Chu? Otherwise, you can just pick another one."
tell me?"
Li Xiuning slapped his arm angrily and said with a smile: "How can it be such a childish thing? If word gets out, the women in the capital will definitely talk about it in private houses. It may be very unpleasant... Is this the Queen's idea?"
Li Po was smart and understood what she meant when he heard it. It would be an honor for the emperor to confer him personally. However, Li Xiuning's situation was different. It was best for the empress to do the conferment, and at the very least, she had to obtain the empress's consent.
Otherwise, Li Bi will be dissatisfied, and Li Xiuning's mansion will never have peace.
Li Po wanted to say that she would listen to me, but in the end the words that came out of his mouth were, "It's no one's idea, as long as you are satisfied."
Otherwise, Li Bi felt that he was used to pleasing women. Seeing what he said, Li Xiuning couldn't even think about being dissatisfied. With a smile on her face, she said simply: "Then Mrs. Chu, I can still do it outside the palace anyway."
Feel free and at ease."
Li Po was thinking that he should have a good talk with Li Bi when he got back. The tigress was pregnant with her cub and had a bad temper. Alas, why are men so difficult?
Afterwards, Li Po casually asked about Li Yuan, and Li Xiuning didn't even think about filing a complaint. He just told Li Yuan's purpose in a tactful manner.
Li Po was rather annoyed, and he kept an account for Li Yuan's side without saying a word. In fact, he was more concerned about the children of Li Jiancheng's brothers, and Li Yuan's side was further behind.
The total number of children of Li Jiancheng's brothers is twenty or thirty, and there are twelve people from the bloodline left by Li Yuan. It is obvious that Li Po's offensive had significantly affected the fertility rate of Li Yuan's family.
Otherwise, Li Yuan could create dozens of people by himself.
