Chang Anqing

When Li Sui and Zhao Yi returned to Chang'an, it was almost the Shangsi Festival, and Li Sui's delivery date was only one month away. Therefore, Zhao Yi, who was supposed to go to the Western Regions Protectorate after returning to Beijing to report his duties, was also there. With the acquiescence of the emperor, the departure period was postponed, only waiting to accompany Li Sui to welcome the birth of their first child.And Baoying, the princess of the Eastern Palace, also gave birth to a girl first when the two of them were on their way to Chang'an. The empress was delighted, and immediately named the girl Princess Rongchang and named her Awu, and the whole country rejoiced for a while.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, according to the usual practice, the emperor and empress held a festival banquet in Furong Garden. In addition to high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary people can also go here to enjoy it.Li Sui and Zhao Yi brought the newly-appointed head of Yingchuan County, Hui Niang, who has now been renamed Zhao Qingyi, to the banquet together. Feeling Zhao Qingyi's confinement and tension, Li Sui held her hand tightly and looked at each other. In the meantime, Li Sui smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyi nodded, smiled back, and embraced Li Sui affectionately. Zhao Yi saw this scene from the side, and felt a rare peace in his heart.

"King Yuling and Princess Yuling have arrived."

With a chorus, all the people who had gathered on the waterside pavilion looked at it. Amidst the ringing of rings, everyone saluted. Empress Li, who was sitting high on it, saw it and said happily: "Yes! It's here."

Li Sui smiled and led Zhao Qingyi forward to salute, then took the hand outstretched by Empress Li, and sat on the phoenix seat reserved by Empress Li: "Why didn't your majesty come with aunt?"

Everyone knew that Li Sui had always been favored, so it was not surprising to see this scene. After hearing this, Queen Li said: "Your Majesty is discussing matters in the Zichen Palace at the moment, I'm afraid it will take a while."

After all, Empress Li caressed Li Sui's protruding belly affectionately and said: "Look, this little guy really knows how to choose a date, and he only comes out when the spring flowers are blooming in Chang'an."

"You can see the things I picked out for you, but they are all useful? If there are still some missing, just ask the silver lady to get them—"

Hearing Empress Li's instructions, Li Sui was helpless and warm-hearted. Before she could return to Beijing, Empress Li had prepared everything needed for the labor. The midwife had carefully selected six or seven women, not to mention there were more Several wet nurses were waiting for her to choose.

"My aunt has thought about everything, what is missing—"

Empress Li smiled when she saw this, and patted Li Sui's hand lightly. At this moment, she heard outside singing: "Your Majesty is here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone hurriedly got up to salute. Yang Chongyuan, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked much better at the moment. Seeing Li Sui, who was being held by Empress Li with one hand and carefully supported his stomach with the other, he immediately said with a smile: "Ah Man is inconvenient now, so these rituals are omitted."

Under everyone's envious eyes, Li Sui got up cleverly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When he saw Zhao Qingyi beside Zhao Yi, Yang Chongyuan sat beside Empress Li and said, "This is the Lord of Yingchuan County?"

Encouraged by Li Sui's eyes, Zhao Qingyi lowered her head and came out to make a salute. Although her etiquette was tense, there was no mistake.

Yang Chongyuan took a look, nodded and said with a smile, "I thought that King Yuling's sister should be more feminine than Ah Man, but now that I see it, she is more peaceful."

Hearing what Yang Chongyuan said, Li Sui supported his stomach and said, "Your Majesty, in front of your little nephew and grandson, just leave me a thin face—"

Seeing Li Sui talking so casually, Li Zhang pretended to stop him, but Yang Chongyuan laughed loudly and said, "Yes, yes, Ah Man is right, but I forgot."

Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, Empress Li glanced at Yang Xiao, who had been promoted to General Zuo Yiwei because of his meritorious service in escorting, and immediately said with a smile: "Jun Yi has made outstanding achievements this time, and now he has been promoted to General Zuo Yiwei. Once it’s built, family affairs should be taken care of.”

Speaking of this, Empress Li and Yang Chongyuan said: "A few days ago, Concubine Liang was still greeting me, but now she is having a headache because the newly built General's Mansion does not have a mistress in charge. Your Majesty thinks it is better to take advantage of the Shangsi Festival today." The timing also relieved Liang Wang and Liang Wangfei from their heart problems."

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Suizheng was whispering to Zhao Su who was going out to the palace with Empress Li, but Zhao Su in front of him unconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the front of the court. This side is Yang Xiao, the king of Feng Yi County.

"What the queen said is true, but I was negligent for a while."

Seeing Yang Chongyuan's answer, King Liang and Concubine Liang looked at each other and smiled, and quickly got up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness, Queen."

"Ai--"

Yang Chongyuan raised his hand to block the way: "One family, why bother talking about two families."

"Jun Yi—"

Hearing the emperor's call, Yang Xiao stepped forward and clasped his fists in response. Looking at the young nephew in front of him, Yang Chongyuan said with satisfaction, "What does Jun Yi think?"

Hearing that he was going to choose a wife for the young and promising King Feng Yijun, all the wives and ladies present were moved. They were either thinking about how to win opportunities for their daughters, or how to get Yang Xiao's favor for themselves.

When Yang Xiao asked himself at this moment, he completely ignored the shy ladies, and after thinking for a while, he said: "A man should put merit first, and a gentleman is not talented. I hope this time I will go to the northwest with the King of Yuling to clear the north for your majesty." quite."

Hearing what Yang Xiao said, Liang Wang and his wife were stunned, but Yang Chongyuan took the lead in laughing and said: "Okay, okay, this is my Daxing man."

"If Jun Yi has something in his heart, but tell me in the future, I will definitely marry you personally, how about it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the opportunity in front of them was suppressed tepidly, everyone felt a little bit regretful, but after the banquet started and watched the beauties dance in the spring, the trouble was quickly swept away.

Noticing that Zhao Su had quietly left the banquet, thinking of the scene just now, Li Sui thought about it, and then followed out.

However, when she came to Dingkun Pool and was about to walk over to have a chat with Zhao Su who was standing by the pool, she saw Yang Xiao walking over.

"The Lord of Anyang County."

Hearing this, Zhao Su's heart trembled, and when he saw the familiar face, he silently lowered his eyelids and bowed: "Jun Wang."

Silence spread between the two of them like a pool of water. After a long while, Yang Xiao, who hesitated for a while, mustered up his courage and said, "The sparrow slave——"

Seeing Yang Xiao mentioning the little sparrow that was rescued by them, Zhao Su's lips moved and said: "Don't worry, the king, it has recovered, and I'm thinking about releasing it back to the forest in a few days."

For a while, the two fell silent again, Zhao Su thought for a while and said: "I heard that the county king was injured in the battle of Yanmen, I don't know—"

"It's ready—"

Seeing what Yang Xiao said, Zhao Su nodded and said, "That's good."

"Then I will go back to the table first."

After all, Zhao Su saluted, then walked towards the way he came. When he saw Li Sui was anxious, Yang Xiao said, "I—"

Seeing that Yang Xiao had something to say, Zhao Su turned around and saw Yang Xiao coming forward, his eyes full of hesitation.

"The king has something to say—"

"I like you."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Su's eyelashes trembled slightly, and under the dazzling spring light, she saw a man who was as bright as a spring day and solemnly said to her: "Anyang, I like you, I have liked you since the first time we met You, although I have never liked anyone before, but I know that I will be happy when I see you, miss you when I don’t see you, worry about her being in danger, and be happy for her happiness, this is liking—”

After saying this in one breath, Yang Xiao seemed to be injected with thousands of courage and said: "Your Majesty just asked me if I have someone I like. I thought of you, and it was you who wanted to tell them. I want to tell them that I am Yang Junyi. I want to marry you as my wife and live with you forever, but I—”

"But I'm afraid that my admiration for you will be a burden. I don't want to bring you difficulties and troubles because of your majesty's gift of marriage. That's why I said that."

After hearing Yang Xiao finish speaking, Zhao Su couldn't calm down for a long time.

Seeing that Zhao Su didn't answer, Yang Xiao's eyes dimmed, but he soon regained his former vigor, and said with a bright smile on his lips: "Today, my words were abrupt, but they were all from my heart. No matter what the county lord thinks, I will No regrets."

Seeing that Yang Xiao had already left, Li Sui walked forward silently. When Zhao Su saw her, Zhao Su was a little nervous, but Li Sui smiled and said, "You like him, don't you?"

"Sister-in-law."

Seeing Li Sui's encouraging gaze, Zhao Su nodded, and then said, "But I also know that King Liang and our Yuling Palace are not the same—"

"so what?"

Hearing what Li Sui said, Zhao Su looked over in surprise, but saw Li Sui turn to look at the sparkling pool surface and said, "Life is short, so why hesitate about other people's affairs."

After all, Li Sui looked at Zhao Su and said seriously: "What's more, he is him, and Liang Wang's mansion is Liang Wang's mansion."

"Can--"

Before Zhao Su could express his worries, Li Sui held her hand with a smile and said, "I can see that Yang Xiao likes you, and you like him too. What could be more joyful than consensual love? No matter how worried you are in your heart, Ah Su, you can rest assured, just go your own way boldly, and your elder brother and I will stand behind you."

"Sister-in-law—"

Amidst sobs, Zhao Su hugged Li Sui with tears in her eyes, and buried her tears in her arms. Li Sui gently stroked her back, but his heart was full of emotions.

Looking at A Su at this moment, she couldn't help but think of Baoying, and of her relationship with Chen Zhiyan, which was doomed to a sad end if it hadn't begun.

At that time, she did not have the ability to win this relationship for Baoying, because she knew that neither the Yang family behind Baoying nor the Chen family behind Chen Zhiyan would allow this relationship.

But today's A Su is different, the royal family is afraid of Zhao Yi, so facing such a marriage, even if the King of Liang is not in harmony with them, they would like to use this to win Zhao Yi.

Presumably even Yang Chongyuan would be happy with this scene.

Therefore, she didn't want to see that kind of regret staged again, on A Su and the others.
