Chief Bamo is a well-informed person. When he came to Xinyi, he heard that the princess was pregnant. This was not a strange thing in their tribe. It was natural for a woman to get married and have children. Chief Bama’s three wives were pregnant.
Patriarch Bamo just thought it was good news when he heard the news, and then he just waited for the woman to give birth to a child on her own, what else could she do.
However, the clever patriarch heard something unusual from the facial expression and tone of the person who told him the news. Then, after careful inquiry, he realized that the princess was indeed unusual.
First of all, the prince has only one wife, the princess.
Secondly, after three years of marriage, no heir was born, and the prince did not marry the princess next to him. This shows that the prince and the princess have a deep relationship.
Thirdly, the Bama chief asked about the reward Princess Nurhan received after paying her respects to the princess. The reward was very generous.
The shrewd Patriarch Bamo went to visit Patriarch Ruofeng that day and met Princess Nurhan. Patriarch Bamo smiled, "Sister Nurhan, it will definitely go well to meet the princess today." His eyes were on the kang.
Sweep it over delicate satin.
Nurhan dislikes the Patriarch of Bama very much. This involves a humiliation that she will never forget at her age. However, Nurhan is the daughter of the Patriarch, and she is determined to become the Patriarch. She thinks about her ambition.
, nodded calmly, "Yes. The princess is a noble and wise empress. I suggest that if Chief Bamo has time, he might as well go and pay homage to the princess."
"Since it's your suggestion, Nurhan, I will definitely go." The eyes of Bama patriarch revealed the look of a man sizing up a woman. Nurhan couldn't help feeling disgusted, but she didn't do anything rude. She said, "Go."
It's your own choice whether to go or not. Dad, I want to sort out the gifts for my friends tomorrow, so I'll excuse you."
Chief Ruofeng's eyes were full of love, "Go ahead."
Nurhan nodded slightly to the Bama clan leader, gave a slight salute to his father, and then went about other things.
Patriarch Bama smiled, "Nurhan is really lovable. He made friends right after he came to the palace."
"This child has always been like this. Who wouldn't like Nurhan?" Chief Ruofeng said that his only daughter was very obedient, including the fact that Nurhan no longer planned to marry the Bama chieftain, but wanted to inherit the tribe and become his daughter.
Patriarch Ruofeng is also considering the matter of the clan leader. He will never go against his daughter's wishes.
Patriarch Bamo's slender eyes narrowed. Ever since Nurhan said she would not marry him, this originally beautiful girl seemed to have something more to look forward to. Patriarch Bamo nodded.
"yes."
The Bama patriarch planned to personally pay his respects to the noble and wise princess Nurhan said. He even regretted not bringing his first lady here. In fact, the third lady should be more similar in age to the princess, but the rules of the Han people are very strange. They
He only regards the eldest lady as his honor, and even if the third lady comes with him, he will not be able to see the princess.
Patriarch Bamo's luck is very good.
Li Yuhua finished his third sauerkraut meat bun and drank two bowls of fish porridge before he was full. Mu Anzhi handed over the handkerchief with a smile in his eyes. Seeing Yuhua's sister eating so sweet every day made him feel indescribable.
Stable.
"This pickled cabbage is really good." Li Yuhua wiped the corners of his mouth, "Third brother, do you feel it's a little sour? I see you haven't even finished half of the bun."
"It's not a bit, it's just too sour." Mu Anzhi said happily, "I used to hear people say that pregnancy tastes weird, but I didn't really believe it. Now seeing is believing."
Li Yuhua touched his belly, "I used to not be able to eat even 10% full, but now I always have to eat until I'm full to feel satisfied."
"It's better to have a full meal." Mu Anzhi also touched his precious son and asked Grandma Sun, "Has Dr. Xiao Zhang arrived?"
"It's already waiting outside."
"Let him in."
The Ping'an pulse was diagnosed every three days. Since Li Yuhua became pregnant, Mu Anzhi would always check the Ping'an pulse before going to work.
Dr. Xiao Zhang put down the medicine box and took out a small pulse checker and asked the empress to put her wrist on the pulse checker. Grandma Sun carefully put a plain silk handkerchief on it. Dr. Xiao Zhang put two fingers on the empress's wrist and made a careful diagnosis.
, with a gentle expression on his face, "Don't worry, Madam, your pulse is strong and your body is in good condition."
Li Yuhua said, "I eat a lot these days, but why? I have to eat seven or eight times a day. I will be hungry within an hour after eating. What should I do?"
Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang paused in checking the pulse, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Mu Anzhi suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, "But what's wrong?"
Li Yuhua stared at Dr. Xiao Zhang nervously, and Dr. Zhang quickly said, "No, no, your highness, don't worry, your Majesty's pulse is fine. It's just that the month is still short, and during my recent diagnosis, it seems that I have twins in my belly."
The couple immediately felt as if they had won the jackpot. To use Li Yuhua's words later, there was no such joy as winning the jackpot. Li Yuhua's eyes shone like gems, and he stared at Mu Anzhi in surprise. Li Yuhua said, "Third brother,
It’s a twin of a dragon and a phoenix!”
Mu Anzhi hugged Li Yuhua excitedly, his voice trembling with joy, "Sister Yuhua, you are, you are so capable! My God! My God! Sister Yuhua! I, I am so capable
I'm so happy." Mu Anzhi's hands were trembling, and he couldn't help but hold Li Yuhua in his arms, quietly hiding the tears from the corners of his eyes.
This, this is such an unexpected blessing!
Mu Anzhi couldn't help but think tackily, it seems that I am really blessed.
Seeing that the prince and his wife were so happy, Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang understood very well. However, he still reminded him dutifully, "My wife is still a month old now. Based on my medical skills, it is difficult to determine whether she is the prince or the princess."
"Whether you are the crown prince or the princess, you have done a great job today." Mu Anzhi finally let go of sister Yuhua, hugged her instead, took sister Yuhua's hand, and said to the doctor Xiao Zhang, "Such a happy event
, it is reasonable for you to be cautious. Grandma Sun, give Dr. Zhang two gold ingots and let us celebrate together."
Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang smiled and thanked her. Yes, this is the first child born to the Queen and His Highness. It is good to be the heir apparent, but even if he is the princess, isn't it unlucky? How rare it is to have twins!
When Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhang exited, he heard the Queen Concubine say to His Highness, full of doubts, "I only dreamed of a unicorn that night, how could they be twins?"
Mu Anzhi also felt strange. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Didn't you say that you dreamed of a lot of water, and then a little unicorn flew in front of you in the clouds and mist? In the dream, there were not only unicorns, but also sea water."
"
Li Yuhua slapped her thigh hard, "Yeah, forget about the sea water. I used to hear old people say that dreaming about water is also a particularly auspicious dream."
"It's definitely auspicious." Mu An said firmly,
Li Yuhua touched her belly and said, "Although twins of a dragon and a phoenix are also very auspicious, it would also be good to give you a pair of sons for my third brother."
Mu Anzhi smiled, "Look at you, so what if I have two daughters? They are all our children. You don't want to have one son at a time. Our children are all our flesh and blood. I will be happy no matter what happens."
"I know, how can I not love my daughter? But I always think about giving birth to a son for the first time. With a brother, my sisters will have support from their parents' families when they get married." Li Yuhua smiled and said with Mu An, "We
The old Li family has good blood. You see, Aunt Hongmei also gave birth to two children at once, and so did I."
Grandma Sun had already joined her hands and bowed in all directions. She couldn't help saying with joy, "My Lady, this is really a rare blessing for the royal family. In the past, only the Marquis of Xiangyang and his brother Prince Sha were twins. At that time, word of this happy news reached the palace.
, the palace and the clan’s mansion gave them extremely heavy rewards. The empress and your highness really haven’t made any movement for three years. Whenever there is any movement, it is earth-shattering. It can be seen that it is in compliance with the old saying, there is a time for nobles to be born."
"Bei Xinjiang is a great place. It's so prosperous. I was pregnant when I came here." Li Yuhua is definitely good at engaging in superstitious activities. Grandma Sun and others nodded when they heard this. Li Yuhua also told Mu An, "I
The fortune I asked for at the White Horse Temple was approved. It said that I would be blessed with many children and a prosperous descendants. Let me tell you, how could I have bad luck? It turns out that I am holding back my great fortune."
Mu Anzhi listened to Li Yuhua's bragging with a smile, recalling the time when sister Yuhua kissed him secretly at night. Hey, he really shouldn't have teased sister Yuhua at the beginning. If he had known that sister Yuhua was so good, he wouldn't have been able to delay that half a year.
If I hadn't wasted my time, my children would all be calling me daddy now.
Therefore, when Patriarch Bamo came over, the princess was in her best mood.
Tang Mo came here with the Bama patriarch, and Princess Nurhan also came with him. However, after Princess Nurhan said hello, she went out to play with the older girls. The girls outside the window were chattering like orioles.
The sound of talking quickly disappeared as the girls walked away.
Patriarch Bamo first congratulated the princess on her pregnancy. The princess looked like she was bathing in the holy light. She thanked Patriarch Bamo for the gift and allowed him to sit down and talk. Then he asked Patriarch Bamo how many children he had in his family.
, how old you are and so on.
Hearing that the eldest son of the Bamo clan leader was already fifteen years old, Li Yuhua was quite surprised, "That's a big boy."
"Yes, Xiri Ahong is a very strong and smart boy." Chief Bamo said, "He also came to Xinyi City with me this time."
"Then next time you have time, bring Xiri Ahong over to show me." Li Yuhua said with a smile, "I like children very much. An academy is already being built in the city, and Xiri Ahong is a bit old and not suitable for the academy.
Study. When the academy is built next year, the sons of various officials will come to study. If there are children of the right age in the tribe of the patriarch who are willing to learn about Han culture, they can also be sent. As for how many free places there are, Mr. Tang will tell the patriarch in the future.
.”
Chief Bamo's eyes flashed, "Can children from our tribe come?"
"Yes. It doesn't have to be the child of the patriarch's family. I know what you are worried about. Patriarch, don't worry. The academy was built just for better communication with each other. It also wants you to better understand the culture of the Han family. It will not force the patriarch.
The descendants will participate." Li Yuhua's smiling face seemed to glow with love, which made the Bamo patriarch a little embarrassed to have his heart revealed.
Patriarch Bamo felt ashamed and said, "Honorable Princess, please forgive me for being superficial. No vassal king has ever come to Northern Xinjiang. This is the first time I meet your Majesty, and I feel excited and uneasy."
"It's okay. There has to be a process of understanding. As time goes by, the clan leader will know the character and temperament of the prince and me." Li Yuhua said with a leisurely smile, and then casually talked about some official matters, like the children of each tribe.
It mainly teaches Chinese language, martial arts and other knowledge, which is very practical.
Li Yuhua patiently said a few words without any intention of forcing him. He also said that if there is a tribe that is unwilling to come, he will not force it, and the remaining places will be allocated to other tribes that are willing to come. After all, every child comes to study and live.
It's also a big expense. The reason why there are free places is entirely out of the benevolence of the feudal king.
The Bamo tribe leader believed that this visit was indeed fruitful. The Bamo tribe has always had a good relationship with Xinyi City. Before His Highness the vassal king came, the Ruofeng tribe and the Bamo tribe had always surrendered to Luhou. Now the vassal king
His Highness wants to open an official school, and if Marquis Lu also supports it, the Bama clan chief is willing to send one of his sons of school age.
Li Yuhua asked Bai Zhaodong to go to Tang Mo first, and then talk to the two clan leaders to see if they could trade a batch of skins. In addition, what surprised Li Yuhua was that when the two clan leaders said goodbye, Princess Nurhan proposed to stay in Xinjiang.
For a period of time, her purpose of staying was very clear. She wanted to learn military training from Huan Li.
The princess took the initiative to be frank and didn't hide anything. Li Yuhua asked Huan Li for his opinion, that is, whether Huan Li's military training was a secret. If it was a secret and could not be disclosed lightly, she said no to Princess Nurhan.
Huan Li said, "Your Majesty, just promise the princess. She mentioned to me that she wanted to learn how I train soldiers, and I agreed. In fact, there is nothing you can't learn. No matter how good you are at training soldiers, you still have to rely on on-the-spot command when it comes to actual battles."
