Chapter 386 I want the prince to worship the best master in the world
In Shaoyang courtyard.

Empress Pei was pregnant in October, and returned to her former residence during the final delivery period.

She felt most comfortable living here.

At this time, no one dared to disobey the queen's small request, even Li Hong followed him.

Not only the wet nurses in the palace, but also all the women with experience in childbirth gathered together, even experienced folk women, many of them were recruited, just to be safe.

In fact, Empress Pei has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a strong body. Judging from her reaction during pregnancy, she has a very high possibility of giving birth smoothly.

But Li Hong was still concerned about it, and he walked around, making everyone nervous.

In addition to this sage, there were Yongwang Lixian, Yingwang Lixian, Jiwang Lidan and the ten-year-old eldest princess who accompanied the emperor's brother to wait.

Of course, there is also the Empress Dowager Wu.

This is not the first time she has become a grandmother. The year before last, Li Xian's child gave birth to a son, and last year gave birth to another one. In addition to the two daughters of the concubine, Li Xian, who has reached the age of [-], has four children. Li Xian's father, Li Xian got married half a year ago and married Wei Shi, and I am afraid that he will have offspring soon, so Empress Wu does not lack the experience of being a grandmother.

At this time, her expression was indifferent, with the dignified appearance of a queen mother, but on this occasion, a sense of incompatibility and alienation inevitably arose.

The three sons of Li Xian, Li Xian, and Li Dan were all a little afraid of this mother, so they simply pretended to talk to their elder brother Li Hong, but the eldest princess snuggled up to Empress Wu, and said worriedly: "My lady, my lady, your illness is not cured yet. ?"

Empress Wu said leisurely: "The illness is cured, but the spirit is not very good."

The eldest princess wondered: "But I saw that there are fewer and fewer wives entering the palace to pay their respects recently. The empress should have a good rest..."

Empress Wu was hurt by her daughter's Tongyan Wuji, so she fell silent.

The eldest princess said: "Is it because of Shangguan's rehabilitation? I heard that person has fought against the empress before!"

Empress Wu looked at Li Hong, and said calmly: "What is the Shangguan family? It's your elder brother's method, and it's a good one. It's worthy of being my son!"

The eldest princess didn't understand what this meant, but she understood that her mother didn't really care much about Shangguanyi, so she felt relieved: "That's good, Wan'er and I are good friends now, if your mother doesn't like Shangguan, I won't let you go played with her."

Empress Wu raised her brows slightly: "Shangguan Wan'er? She's staying with the queen right now. You two are about the same age, but your circumstances are very different..."

When Shangguanyi proposed to abolish the empress, it was exactly one month after the eldest princess was born. At that time, Empress Wu was still in confinement, so she came forward to persuade the hesitant Li Zhi, convicted Shangguanyi, and ransacked all the families, leaving only the female relatives to fill in. Ye Ting, including Shangguan Wan'er who was also in her infancy.

So the eldest princess and Shangguan Wan'er are of the same age, their birthdays are very close, but their fates are very different. One rises gradually and becomes the most beloved daughter of the Second Sage, enjoying all the glory and wealth, while the other falls to the bottom of the valley, scrambling in the court. Roll and fight, humbly make amends and laugh for survival.

It wasn't until two years ago that Shangguan Wan'er's life trajectory changed dramatically. Now the sage has officially issued an edict to rehabilitate Shangguan Yi's treason case.

In the past, Wan'er was able to walk in the palace and was honored as Shangguan's little lady, but she just got rid of the body of a sinful woman, and everyone was more concerned about the empress's face. Now, after becoming a serious prime minister, her disciples and old officials still exist.

Under the ebb and flow, Empress Wu's life is even more difficult, the key is that the officials still support this method.

After all, Shangguanyi was not a rebellion in the first place, but a stigmatization and conviction after the defeat of the political struggle. Whether it was Shangguan's former disciples or courtiers who did not want to end up like this, they all agreed with the saint's benevolence.

When Empress Wu found out that Li Hong was not angry enough to kill Wu's children wantonly and vetoed her confinement, she knew that the game was lost. At this moment, she squinted at the three sons, and then said to the youngest daughter: "You and Miss Shangguan is on good terms, do your three elder brothers know, what do they say?"

The eldest princess was a little frustrated: "They don't seem very happy..."

Empress Wu said: "The identity of your son-in-law comes from me. If the first emperor had listened to Shangguanyi's advice at that time, their life would be similar to that of King Poyang. Your fifth brother has become a saint and can be magnanimous, but they are unwilling."

The eldest princess seemed to understand, but Empress Wu didn't say much, her eyes flickered slightly.

I was thinking about how to change my current position, when I heard a voice with an unpleasant tone and a hesitant tone: "I am late, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me... Kings and princesses, please forgive me!"

Empress Wu turned her head to take a look, and came up angrily.

Because Wu Chengsi in a purple robe was standing not far away, looking at him embarrassingly.

All the people present were handsome and well-groomed, but this one was as humble as a servant, nodding and bowing, fawning on his face.

Wu Chengsi actually didn't want to please, he didn't even want to come, but as Zhou Guogong and the empress dowager's nephew, according to the rules, he had to come and wait for the birth of the saint's heir so that he could congratulate him immediately.

As a result, Li Hong didn't even look back. He was out of sight and out of mind. Li Xian felt that it was a shame and a shame to be with this kind of person with bad appearance and appearance. Seeing that Wu Chengsi was about to move over, he immediately scolded: "Go away !"

Wu Chengsi's face turned red. According to his age, he is the cousin of the princes, and now he has inherited the position of Duke. This contempt is too much, but he dare not argue with reason. He can only look at Empress Wu helplessly.

Empress Wu wished to kill this group of trash with her own hands, but unfortunately the sage didn't kill them. He pursed his lips and suppressed his anger, waved his hands and said, "Stand aside."

Wu Chengsi obediently stood aside, trying to minimize his presence.

It is true that no one cares about him anymore. At this moment, Queen Pei's painful cry came from inside the room: "Ah——!!"

Li Hong was so nervous that his face turned pale, his thin body was on the verge of falling, his eyes were closed tightly, and he murmured and prayed to God constantly.

God didn't joke with this Emperor Tang who suffered from illness since childhood at this time.

The painful cry inside didn't last long, and a loud cry sounded out.

Li Hongda was overjoyed and heaved a long sigh of relief.

After all, childbirth is a major difficulty for women. Although Queen Pei is in good health, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen. At this time, the child was born smoothly, which at least means that the worst did not happen.

The next thing is to see whether it is a prince or a princess.

Not to mention that he was worried, everyone rushed to the door together, waiting with different faces.

The time became extremely long at this stage. In fact, it was only half a quarter of an hour, but everyone felt that they had waited for half an hour.

at last.

The door opened, and a large number of people rushed out happily.

Seeing this expression, the answer has been revealed.

The leading nanny held the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in front of Li Hong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, you are a prince."

Li Hong looked at the baby, froze all over, and murmured, "I have a child! I finally have a child!"

When a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, Li Hong was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to dance.

It's a pity that his sickly body does not support him to take the lead in dancing like his grandfather Taizong, so he can only carefully look at the wrinkled child, even breathing subconsciously.

Everyone also looked at the eldest son of the new emperor who was full of thousands of expectations, with somewhat complicated expressions.

Especially Li Xian, when he dreamed back at midnight, he also had extravagant hopes.

After all, Brother Huang has been in poor health since he was a child. He has been married to the Crown Princess for several years and has no heirs. If something happens, maybe it will be his turn to be the Ninth Five.

But seeing the prince's birth at this time, he was also relieved, and sincerely congratulated him: "Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, brother!"

Li Xian and Li Dan didn't have any idea at first, they smiled and said: "Congratulations brother! Congratulations brother!"

The eldest princess wanted to reach out for a hug, but she was a little scared, so she shrank back and said happily, "Brother is so happy!"

Empress Wu looked on indifferently, with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Wu Chengsi saw that everyone had finished their congratulations, so he said as thinly as a mosquito: "Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

No one paid attention to him at all, they were all looking at the prince, and the child couldn't catch the cold, so he was soon carried by the most experienced wet nurse in the palace.

Until this moment, Li Hong's legs were weak and he almost collapsed. Li Xian grabbed him.

"Okay...Okay..."

Li Hong slowed down for a while, finally recovered, and went into the house to visit the queen.

The nanny held the prince in front of the couch, and Empress Pei kept her eyes on her child, and when she saw Li Hong coming in, she smiled gently at him: "Your Majesty!"

Li Hong held her hand, his eyes turned red: "I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you!"

Wan'er had been by Empress Pei's side before, and when she saw her, she was ready to leave, but Li Hong called out: "Wan'er, let your master come to the palace, I want my son to worship him as a teacher."

Wan'er was stunned: "Your Majesty, the prince has just been born, and it will take several years before he can be enlightened, isn't it too early..."

Li Hong smiled and said: "It's not too early, let's set the status of master and apprentice first. Yuan Fang can teach you so well, and she is for the country and the people. She is all-round in civil and military affairs, and she can make the prince worship one of the best in the world." Good master, I have already had this idea."

The corner of Wan'er grinned, thinking that if you knew how our masters and apprentices allocate teaching, you wouldn't say that. You are increasing my workload!
But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that maybe she was worrying too much.

After all, this is the eldest son of the saint. As long as there are no accidents, he will be a proper prince. The future Tang emperor, the master should teach himself.

With this in mind, Wan'er left Daming Palace, rode a pony all the way to Neiwei, found Li Yan in the martial arts training ground as expected, and reported the matter.

"Your Majesty is really gratified to have the prince, but the prince hasn't even given a name yet, so it's too early to decide on the status of master and apprentice."

Li Yan was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked over kindly: "But Wan'er, if it really comes to that time, you are a senior sister..."

Wan'er sighed prettily, thinking that I shouldn't have the slightest chance: "Elder sister is like a mother, I understand."

Li Yan smiled gratifiedly: "You are indeed my good disciple."
