Following the cry of a baby, Liu Mastiff's face finally showed a hint of joy. Liu Mastiff grinned and hurriedly walked towards the back hall. Qi Yue followed behind the emperor, and even more congratulations from Butun Ah.
Liu Xi ignored him and walked all the way to the entrance of the apse. When the palace maid in charge saw the emperor coming, she quickly bowed to him and then stepped aside.
After the lesson she learned last time, she no longer dared to stand in the way of the emperor. If the emperor wanted to see it, it was his business. If she was not in harmony with Li, it was Zongzheng's business. What should she, a palace maid, worry about here?
However, she still called the emperor loudly and asked the people in the palace to get ready. Of course Liu Xi would not care about her behavior. When Liu Xi walked into the palace happily, the old woman in charge of delivering the baby struggled to hold her
A package walked in front of the emperor. Before she could speak, Liu Xi took the child over with a smile. She felt her hands sink. The old woman smiled and said: "Your Majesty, he is a prince. The common people have been delivering babies for so many years."
, I have never seen...such a healthy child!"
Liu Xi looked down and saw that the little guy couldn't open his eyes at all. He opened his mouth wide and opened it. He was very cute. But... well, this child has some weight. Liu Xi had also seen the appearance of the eldest princess when she was born. This
The baby looks three times bigger than the eldest princess!! Good guy, when the princess was born, Liu Xi could hold her with one hand, and all the handkerchiefs used by women could surround her. Now this kid
Well, Liu Xi has to use both hands...
However, looking at the little life in his hand, Liu Xi couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps his laughter alarmed the child. The little guy burst into tears. The cry was extremely loud and resounded throughout the hall. Liu Xi was startled by him. At that moment, a ray of golden light seemed to come from the window.
When it shined on the little guy, golden light emitted from the little guy's body, which was extremely dazzling. At that moment, Liu Xi was stunned. His eyes widened and he stared at the little guy. The old woman beside him was so frightened that he almost fell down.
On the ground.
"Auspicious! Auspicious! Congratulations to the country! Congratulations to the country!" Qi Yue reacted quickly. He suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly. The maids around him knelt together, and Liu
Xi calmed down, and the little guy no longer had that strong light. Liu Xi looked at Qi Yue behind him and asked, "Did you see it too?", "Not just the slaves, they all saw it, the prince was born.
At that time, the whole body was shining with golden light...auspicious, great auspiciousness!"
"Oh? What about me?"
"Ah! I almost forgot that just now, the country also emitted a stronger light. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to look directly. I could barely see His Highness clearly..."
"Hahahaha!" Liu Xi laughed without saying anything. He hugged the child and walked towards the queen. Just as the maids had time to cover Empress Lu with a mattress, Liu Xi broke in. Lu Ji looked pale.
, However, she is still strong and her face is relatively calm. She usually rides horses and shoots arrows, and her body is also strong. Liu Xi hugged the little guy and sat on her right, "Hahaha, my Lu Ji, look at it.
, our son!”
Liu Xi leaned over so that Lu Ji could see the child clearly.
Lu Ji was a little excited. She turned around and looked at her cute child. The little guy was too young and couldn't see his features. However, Lu Ji could see that the child was as handsome as his father, and his body was still the same.
Extraordinarily strong, Lu Ji chuckled. The emperor was reluctant to hand over his son to the palace maid, so he carefully placed him next to his mother, stretched out his hand, and held Lu Ji's hand.
"Thank you...I also have a son..."
"His Majesty!"
"Hahaha, I'm so happy. You're talking nonsense. Take good care of yourself...Don't get sick again. Little guy, I will take good care of him myself."
"By the way, just now, I picked him up, and he was actually emitting thousands of feet of golden light, which was extremely dazzling. The eunuchs and maids were frightened... Hahaha... This son of mine will definitely have something extraordinary in the future.
His deeds can probably surpass those of his father and grandfather!"
"real?"
"That's natural! Can I still lie to you?"
Seeing the couple chatting happily, the old palace maid beside him hesitated to speak. The queen had just given birth and should rest. Liu Xi naturally saw what she was thinking and stopped disturbing, letting the queen have a good rest.
He hugged the child and left. However, the palace maids did not allow the emperor to take the little guy out. The little guy was still too young and it was too cold outside to take him out like this. Liu Xi had no choice but to take the child out for the sake of the child's safety.
Stayed.
After the emperor left, these palace ladies dared to speak.
"In all my years of delivering babies, I have never seen such a... robust child..."
The older woman on the side glanced at her disdainfully, "It's so strange, you've never seen Emperor Xiaoxian's appearance when he was just born..."
Liu Xi was in a good mood and rewarded many eunuchs. The whole palace was extremely lively. The emperor walked into the Houde Hall with a smile. Not long after, Princess Changling came with Princess Duyang.
, followed by Liu Di, the three of them walked in. Princess Changling and Liu Di bowed respectfully to meet them, but little Princess Duyang didn't care about it at all and jumped into Liu Xi's arms.
"Oh, my little Duyang is here!" Liu Xi hugged his eldest daughter and couldn't help but kiss her. The little one sat in his arms seriously and asked solemnly: "Father? I have
Brother?"
"Yes, we have it! A very cute little brother!"
When Princess Du Yang heard this, she looked a little distressed. She opened her eyes wide and asked a little aggrievedly: "Then you don't love me any more?"
"Hahaha, of course not. You are all my children. From now on, you can take the little one to play!"
Du Yang then nodded. Princess Changling saw that her expression was still bad, so she laughed and said, "Don't worry, you see, your second uncle is my brother. Look at how your second uncle treats me."
OK?"
Du Yang's eyes widened and he asked: "Then can I treat my brother like my aunt?"
"Ah?" Changling didn't respond.
Du Yang smiled and clapped his hands and said, "That's great. I see my aunt beating my second uncle every day. In the future, I will have a younger brother too!"
Liu Xi cleared her throat and looked at Changling with a complicated expression, "Chanling, you... don't lead her astray..." Princess Changling's face turned red and she nodded. Liu beside her
Di didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's just a joke, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Xi nodded, and Princess Changling said with a smile: "I heard that we have a nephew, so I came to visit...
.”
"Hahaha, yes, I will show you later. The little guy looks like you, Chang Ling. When you were just born, you were just like him. It's so similar!"
Changling was very happy. It seemed that his new-born nephew was very beautiful and cute!
Liu Xi looked at his younger sister and younger brother who were growing up in front of him, and began to think in his heart. It's time for Liu Di to be sealed. Where is Changling? Don't worry, I will find a suitable husband for her. Liu Xi thought in his heart, but
Without revealing it, after chatting for a while, Liu Xi just said: "Changling, please take the little guy to see your nephew. I have something to say and want to talk to Erlang..."
Hearing Liu Xi's words, Changling nodded, took the little guy and left the Houde Hall.
Liu Di stood in front of his brother. For some reason, he was very afraid of his brother. He didn't dare to get close to him on weekdays. His brother was obviously very gentle and approachable, but when he stood in front of him, he always acted like a fool.
He was breathless. At this moment, standing alone in front of his brother, Liu Di lowered his head and occasionally glanced at his brother. Liu Xi was silent for a long time, and Liu Di was even more nervous.
"Erlang, you have grown up... Even if I can't bear it anymore, I have to let you leave the palace and control a place by yourself..."
Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Di was stunned and raised his head with a blank look on his face. He knew that such a day would come, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly. Liu Xi stood up slowly and said,
When he came to his side, the emperor put his hand on his shoulder. Liu Di was so frightened that he trembled. Liu Xi shook his head and said: "You are my brother, don't be afraid of me... My father is not here, sir."
A brother is a father... In these years, I haven't been able to always be by your side..."
"Brother...I..."
"Okay, no need to say more..."
"In these years, I haven't been able to be by your side, and I don't know why you are so afraid of me... However, I still love you, just like Changling. You went to Taixue, and just went
On that day, do you still remember the conflict with two students?"
"Well... I remember, they insulted my grandpa, and I couldn't help it..."
"One of them is a child of Zhang Shangshu's family, and the other is a child of Xun's family... They have never been to Taiyuan Academy since then. Do you know why?"
"Because my brother ordered the Imperial Academy to offer wine, they were all expelled..."
"No, because I killed both of them..." Liu Xi smiled and said something that made people shudder. Liu Di was frightened. He raised his head and looked at his brother blankly again. Liu Xi
Said: "Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so harsh for such a trivial matter, but no one in the world can bully my brother. If they dare to beat him, I will chop off their heads...
Send it to their home..."
"After that, if you encounter some troubles, they will all be solved easily. Even the sacrificial wine does not dare to reprimand you... This is the benefit of killing two chickens..."
"Erlang... Now, I can no longer keep you by my side... You also know that your nephew was born. It's not that I can't trust you, but there are still many people in the temple who are hostile to your brother.
Traitors, hehehe, I have been forbearing for these years, watching these clowns perform in front of me. A few days ago, I liquidated a group of them, and most of them are still hiding and refusing to show their faces. If you are still in the palace
, I’m afraid those people won’t be able to sit still..."
"Either I force you to deal with me, or you force me to kill each other..."
"However, I won't treat you badly. Just tell me. If you want it, anywhere outside of Luoyang, I will give it to you."
Liu Xi lowered his head and looked at Liu Di. The way Liu Di looked at him was different. He had always felt that he was a forgotten child. Except for Changling, no one cared or noticed. But today, he just
He understood that his brother had been protecting him silently and even killed people for him. At this moment, Liu Di felt warm in his heart. The family love he had been looking forward to for so long had always been by his side.
"Brother...it's okay. I can go anywhere. If brother needs me, I will go to Xizhou to guard the border...I..."
"Bullshit, Xizhou? Xizhou is guarded by the Northern and Southern Army. Why are you going there to suffer??" Liu Xi frowned and scolded, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "That's it, you
Go to Xuzhou, I will give you Xiapi, and you can become the king of Xiapi... Xuzhou is rich, has a mild climate, and is very peaceful... Also, I think the prose you have written these days is pretty good.
...very grandfatherly..."
"That's it, you go to Xuzhou and open a poetry stage. I allow you to summon those poets to discuss poetry and write articles... However, you have to do it in a low-key manner, otherwise other princes and kings will come to trouble me.
..Do you understand?”
Liu Di was particularly excited. When most of the princes and kings arrived in the fiefdom, they had to stay in the palace all day long. They could not go out or do anything. Even if they went to make friends, they would be impeached and criticized by the prime minister. He was usually the most literary.
Gift, I didn’t expect that my brother could give him such a gift!
"Thank you, brother! When should I leave?"
"Haha, go see your aunt, say goodbye to the queen, and your nephew... By the way, father and mother, remember to pay your respects too, and then you can leave Luoyang..."
