Although there has been a lot of good news recently, climate changes are still independent of human will. The heaven and earth are desolate, and all things are desolate. In front of Qiuhua Palace, the biting winter wind is swirling between the palaces, whining, and a flexible figure is coming. Running in the corridors.
"Slow down! Don't run!" Emperor Liu, who was lucky enough to be here, looked at the little man running in front of him and couldn't help shouting. He paid attention to the slippery ground and was a little worried: " Be careful if you fall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw him slipping and falling neatly in the corridor. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou quickly followed him. He only saw the child, and he was afraid of being there. The heavy coat was on his body, holding him up. It's a little full and looks a little bloated.
Liu Chengyou lifted him up and looked at him for a few times. His little face, which was red from the cold, tensed up, and his smart eyes looked at Liu Chengyou eagerly.
"Where did you fall? Does it hurt?" Liu Chengyou checked his hands and feet and asked with concern.
Upon hearing this, his little face suddenly felt like it was about to bloom. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said seriously: "Don't cry!"
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the child burst into tears with a cry of "Wow", bursting into tears, and Liu Chengyou smiled helplessly. Those who laughed became more cheerful, and those who cried became happier.
"Are you just going to greet daddy with tears and snot?" He held him in his arms and slowly walked towards the main hall. Liu Chengyou asked him gently while wiping his tears and snot.
These words had some effect, and the crying became quieter. I sobbed and stretched out my little hand and said, "It hurts!"
Fortunately, the floor of the corridor was not too rough and the scratches were not serious. After blowing on him, he took out a candy wrapped in oil paper from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth. Liu Chengyou asked again: "What else?" Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Xiaowa changed his mind directly. There is nothing that a piece of candy can't solve.
"Where's your mother?" Liu Chengyou asked.
"Take care of your brother in the dormitory!"
What Liu Chengyou was holding was his eighth son, Liu Ming, the third son he had with Lady Zhe. He was born in the ninth year of Qianyou and is now six and a half years old. When Liu Chengyou came to Qiuhua Palace, he heard ten things. Yizi was sick and came here specially to visit.
In the hall, Madam Zhe came out. She had served Emperor Liu for more than ten years, she had many children, her relationship was deep, and her etiquette seemed very natural. She noticed Liu Yan sitting on Liu Chengyou's arm, crying, and Zhe The lady couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with Hachiro?"
"I was so happy to see my father that I ran too fast and fell!" Liu Chengyou said.
He ordered people to take Liu Ai to wash hands and apply medicine, while Liu Chengyou followed Lady Zhe to see his other son. The eleventh prince was born during Liu Chengyou's Northern Expedition. He is now over three years old and named Liu Xiao. However, his body has always been a bit shabby. weak.
The child was already asleep, and his face looked unhealthy. He gently probed his forehead. The temperature had dropped. Liu Chengyou asked in a low voice: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"Eleventh Lang has always been weak. It was my lack of care this time that caused him to catch a cold and cause a high fever. After taking medicine, it was temporarily relieved..." As she said this, the woman's eyes couldn't help but turn red. .
In recent years, Emperor Liu had not had children who died young. The most worrying thing was for children to get sick. Liu Xiao was always very worried because of his frailty and illness. High fever was a very serious illness.
Taking Madam Zhe into his arms, caressing her back, Liu Chengyou comforted him: "Little Eleven can get through it every time, and this time is no exception. I believe that after this disaster, he will thrive in the future!"
Taking Concubine Zhe to sit outside, Liu Chengyou held her hand and caressed her with a comforting gesture. Today, Concubine Zhe is also a young woman in her thirties. Her youthfulness has gone forever, but her resolute and heroic appearance has become stronger. Because of this, Liu Chengyou felt even more unbearable when he saw her rarely showing such a worried little daughter.
With a smile on his face, Liu Chengyou said: "I also want to bring you some good news!"
"What?" Lady Zhe looked at him in surprise.
"The military report from Lingnan has been sent to the Privy Council. Pan Mei has captured Panyu. Liu Yuan, the leader of South Guangdong, has been captured by the army. Lingnan is not far away from being completely pacified!" Liu Chengyou said.
Lady Zhe was smart. After hearing this, she immediately asked: "Where is Shiro? How is he?"
"Don't worry, I just wanted to tell you that everything is fine with him!" Liu Chengyou chuckled and said, "With Pan Mei, nothing can go wrong. Pan Mei also said that Liu Fang performed very well!"
Pan Mei is obviously a smart person. While reporting on the military situation, he also did not forget to mention a few words about the fourth prince Liu Fang.
"Alas!" Although she breathed a sigh of relief, Lady Zhe still made a rare complaint: "March and fight, fighting for life and death, even the strongest warriors dare not be careless. What is he going to do as a child? The battle formation is dangerous. , Lingnan is a difficult place, it’s winter, and I don’t know how he can withstand the fatigue of military service?”
Noticing Lady Zhe's resentful tone, Liu Chengyou smiled. Liu Fang went to the battlefield. Although he took the initiative to ask for orders, in the end it was his father who agreed first. Being able to understand Lady Zhe's love for her son, Emperor Liu could only comfort him. : "According to Pan Mei's report, Liu Fang served as a guard in front of the army. He had no arrogance, was resolute and calm, brave and eager to learn. Although he did not have any great achievements, he showed his character and his career was worthy of his appointment!"
"After this hard work and training, he will definitely grow a lot. As a mother, you should also be happy for him!" Liu Chengyou said with a smile.
Hearing this, there was no smile on Mrs. Zhe's face. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and whispered to Liu Chengyou: "Silang is very determined and has great ambitions, but I don't want him to have any great ambitions!"
Hearing what she said, Liu Chengyou was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stroked her hand again. From Lady Zhe's words, he seemed to feel an attitude. Emperor Liu felt a feeling in his heart that among the women in the harem, , in terms of profound understanding of righteousness, only Empress Fu and Concubine Zhe Xian are the only ones.
"Where is Liu Yun? My brother is sick, where did he go?" Liu Chengyou asked, which was considered to change the subject.
Lady Zhe couldn't help but say: "He went to Tai Hospital and said he wanted to study medicine and treat his brother!"
"This kid has a wide range of interests, but none of them persist for a long time!" Thinking of the fifth son who was obviously smart but always lazy, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but said, but the corners of his mouth still turned into a smile.
...
After leaving Qiuhua Hall, Liu Chengyou was called to Yaohua Hall again. Concubine Gao invited her, but seeing that it was getting late, he decided to stay at Yaohua Hall tonight.
"How is the condition of the eleventh son?" In the palace, the lady served Emperor Liu diligently, holding his feet in the basin with her delicate hands gently and in place, and she still cared about Liu Xiao.
"The symptoms of typhoid fever and high fever have stabilized temporarily!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Alas! This child is too pitiful. He has to suffer such suffering at such a young age!" Concubine Gao's beautiful face also showed an expression of pity.
Looking at her, Liu Chengyou asked: "You asked me to come, what's the matter?"
After hearing the question, Concubine Gao did not hesitate and said directly: "It's still Saburo's business!"
All along, the third prince, Liu Xi, whom Concubine Gao cared about most besides him, was the third prince. Emperor Liu also knew this. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Liu Xi? What's wrong with him?"
"The prince and Da Lang went to Jiangnan to reward the army, and Si Lang was also training in Lingnan. Liu Xi, you asked him to work in Feilong Stable to raise horses. I heard that he wandered around all day, riding horses and playing... "Concubine Gao looked a little dissatisfied.
"This is what he requested!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Then he should be restrained more!" Concubine Gao said.
Looking at his beloved concubine, Liu Chengyou sighed: "Liu Xi is getting older, do you still want to take care of him all day long? After all, you can't take care of him for the rest of your life! You don't have to worry, but I feel that if he If you can really raise a horse and develop your skills, it can be regarded as a period of growth!"
