The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2 Born to be a prince
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a gold silk black-winged hat, walking back and forth in the hall, and all the people from Tiance Mansion gathered in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Mingde's death, I... really feel ashamed." In Li Shimin's tone, he sighed for Xuan Mingde's death.

"Brother Mingde said that after this incident, he went back to Shanxi, guarded Erxian Village, guarded his wife and his unborn child, and lived the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, alas..." Qin Qiong also sighed.

"Once Mingde dies, my sister-in-law and their orphans and widowed mothers will definitely have a hard time, Your Majesty..." Before Yu Chigong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"I know that I have already sent people to Shanxi to bring Mingde's widow to Chang'an. After all, it is close and it is convenient to take care of her. It's just that once Mingde dies, the reward can be handed out directly, but it is the title I originally planned to give him. .”

"Even if Mingde is dead, this title will be given. My sister-in-law has no foundation to speak of when she comes to Chang'an. Although we can take care of her secretly, but my sister-in-law has a strong temper, how can she always receive our favor?" Cheng Yao Jin's temperament was as fierce as fire, and he was not polite to Li Shimin in the hall.

"Don't be impatient when you know the festival, I understand." Li Shimin waved his hand: "Come here, draw up the decree, Xuan Mingde, the general Xuan Mingde, the former King of Qin, Tian Ce, who was loyal to protect the Lord at Xuanwu Gate, died unfortunately. Sighing for the untimely death of a talented man, Xuan family Mingde." Speaking of this, Li Shimin closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "Chasing the Duke of Jin, rewarding a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, twenty maids and servants, and a mansion .”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the little yellow gate next to him received the order and went.

"Your Majesty, how can it be posthumous? Then what will happen to Brother Mingde's heirs?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"If Mrs. Mingde gives birth to a baby boy, I will reward them separately. Zhijie, just right, you can handle the affairs of the mansion. The original Qin Wang Mansion should be repaired a little, and reward them."

"Yes." Cheng Yaojin gave up after hearing what Li Shimin said.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the first month of the lunar year. The original mansion of King Qin became a Xuanzhai. In the mansion, maids and servants came in and out, busy inside and out. The reason is that the wife is going to give birth today.

Three or four women were invited to surround Wang's side. The outsiders didn't know what was going on, but they heard Wang's miserable cry. The chief housekeeper, Zhong Zishuo, stood in the courtyard, ordering the servants in an orderly manner.

Xuan Shijing only felt that the surrounding space was narrow and it was difficult to breathe, so he began to struggle with all his strength, vaguely remembering that he and his teammates went out to explore and encountered an avalanche on the snow mountain, what happened?Was it buried in a snowdrift?Something is wrong, Xuan Shijing struggled, and finally saw a ray of light, and couldn't help shouting.

A loud cry broke through the noise in the courtyard, and Zhong Zishuo couldn't help showing an ecstatic expression after hearing the sound: "It's born, madam is born!"

All the servants couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

Zhong Zishuo regained his composure, and quickly grabbed a servant beside him: "Go and report the good news to Duke Lu and Duke Yi's mansions, and to the mansions of General Yuchi and General Niu."

"Yes." The servant nodded and ran out quickly.

A steady woman came out of the room: "Congratulations, you are a young master!"

What's going on, Xuan Shijing in the room waved his arm, but saw the baby-like hands, his heart felt cold, this is. .what happened.

Just as Wen Po finished speaking, she heard voices coming from the front yard.

"The Emperor is here~~~"

Zhong Zisuo hurriedly ran to the front yard and knelt down to greet him: "Craftsman Zhong Zisuo, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Free from courtesy." Li Shimin helped Zhong Zishuo up: "I heard that since I came to Chang'an, this big family has been taken care of by you, the big housekeeper, inside and out. It's been hard work."

"It should be." Zhong Zishuo responded neither humble nor overbearing.

"How's it going inside? Mrs. Xuan's delivery is going well." Li Shimin asked with concern.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the lady gave birth to a baby boy."

"Oh? Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed happily and said, "Okay, okay, okay, there are Mingde successors, and the guilt in my heart will be reduced. Come and show me."

Zhong Zishuo ordered the servant girl who was serving at the side to go to the backyard to bring the newborn young master. After a while, the servant girl came to Li Shimin with the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Looking at the baby in his arms, Li Shimin couldn't help thinking of Xuan Mingde, and said, "This child has a name."

"Not yet." Zhong Zishuo replied.

"Let me take this name." Li Shimin pondered: "Yes, Xuan Shijing, let's call it Xuan Shijing."

"No, Your Majesty." Zhong Zishuo knelt down and objected.

"Why."

"Young master, as a junior, should avoid the name of His Majesty."

Li Shimin laughed when he heard the words: "No need, if all the people in the world want to hide my name, what will happen? I don't believe the worldly opinion, I just hope that this child will inherit his father's legacy like a beautiful jade in the future." Confucian general demeanor, I came here in a hurry today, I didn’t prepare a gift, no matter, the name of your mansion should also be changed, come here, I will serve you with pen and ink.”

Xiao Huangmen, who was following Li Shimin, hurriedly asked Jia Ding for a pen and ink. Li Shimin held Xuan Shijing in his left hand, and with a big stroke of his right hand, he wrote the four characters "Xuanwei Hou Fu".

"From today onwards, my nephew Shijing will be the Marquis of Xuanwei County in the Tang Dynasty, and his fiefdom should be in Dongshan County."

"On behalf of Mrs. Caomin, young master, thank Your Majesty for the reward." Zhong Zishuo knelt down again.Children are sealed as soon as they are born. Throughout the ages, even if they are royal children, there are very few.

Xuan Shijing, who was lying in Li Shimin's arms, kept looking at Li Shimin: Judging by his clothes, he should be an emperor. How could he be hugged by the emperor? Just now, when he looked around, he didn't look like he was in the palace.

After all, it was a baby, after thinking about these things, a burst of drowsiness struck, and Xuan Shijing fell asleep.

Li Shimin looked down at Xuan Shijing in his arms: "Look, our little prince is tired, come on, take him back and let him sleep well." After finishing speaking, he handed Xuan Shijing to the maid next to him: "Drive back to the palace."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Xuan Shijing..." In the room, Wang embraced Xuan Shijing: "Master, even if I close my eyes, I am worthy of the ancestors of the Xuan family."

After three years, Xuan Shijing is also three years old, and he probably knows the dynasty he belongs to.

Three years of chastity!The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!As calm as Xuan Shijing, she couldn't help but sigh, Sheng Tang!How many times have I dreamed of going back to the Tang Dynasty, but this time it really came, but I feel strange in my heart.

"Young Lord." Xuan Shijing was reading in the study when he heard the voice of the butler Zhong Zishuo.

"Uncle Zhong, what's the matter?" Xuan Shijing put down the book in his hand.

"Young Lord, the end of the new year is approaching, Madam ordered us to buy new year's goods, and I specially asked you to ask Young Lord if there is anything you want to buy."

"Hmm..." Xuan Shijing leaned on his chin with a small hand, thinking, "I can't think of anything missing right now, I'll let Uncle Zhong know when I think about it."

Zhong Zishuo nodded: "Okay, if the young master has made up his mind, he can send someone to take care of me, then I will go out first."

"Well, Uncle Zhong has worked hard."

Watching Uncle Zhong leave the study, Xuan Shijing picked up the books on the table and tapped the table repeatedly: New Year's Eve.new year.I was only two years old last time during the Chinese New Year, and when I went out to pay New Year’s greetings, Uncle Zhong hugged me, facing Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and the others, shouting one by one. When I came to Cheng Yaojin’s mansion, Cheng Yaojin was holding more than 200 yuan. The heavy stone lock danced here and there, saying that he wanted to teach himself martial arts. It was scary to think about it.Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing became agitated for a while. He originally went out to explore in his previous life, but he didn't like these messy interactions, but he didn't expect this to happen again, so he dropped his books, got up and left the study.

"Young Master." The servants greeted Xuan Shijing walking out of the study.

"Where's mother?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Going back to Lord Marquis, Madam is in the lobby. Someone came from Yi Guogong's mansion and gave away many New Year's goods. Madam is entertaining." The whole family replied.

"Well, keep busy, I'll go and have a look." Xuan Shijing took her personal maid, Long'er, and walked to the hall.

When the servants behind him saw their young master leaving, they began to discuss.

"Look at our little Marquis, who is only three years old, so calm and composed, he looks like a general."

"At first glance, you are not an old man who came from Erxian Village. The posture of our young master is very similar to that of the deceased father-in-law. What is this called? He inherited his father's style. It's a pity that Brother Xuan died young."

"Keep your voice down, you are really treasonous, how can you call Jin Guogong big brother!"

"I don't have it, you heard it wrong, haha." The handyman slapped a haha, and got confused, just looked at the small back of Xuan Shijing who was going away, with a solemn expression.

　Mother, can we still have fun? .
