Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 261 Shrine of Life

"Wow wow wow!"

As loud cries resounded, the sky above Chen's house.

With the news that mother and son were safe, Lu Congbi's heart finally dropped, she clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha, thank God, good people have their own destiny."

Since Chen Qingsi accepted Sun Hao as his disciple, Lu Congbi's relationship with the Chen family has become very close.

Especially Chen Qingsi brought Sun Hao into the Imperial College.

Although he does not understand psychology, he also knows the basic methods to cure introversion and low self-esteem, help him leave the special environment of the East Palace, and build his self-confidence.

Sun Hao's identity was nothing in the Chongxian Hall of the East Palace, but in the Imperial College, no one dared to bully him. With Chen Qingsi's care and encouragement, his low self-esteem character was greatly improved.

Lu Congbi was very grateful to Chen Qingsi for this reason.

She couldn't help Chen Qingsi, so she took care of Xiao Miaochen among the ladies.

When Lu Congbi was in the palace, she held the power of the queen and performed the duties of the queen on her behalf. Now she is a first-class lady of the Yan Kingdom. Who dares not to give her some respect.

After learning that Chen Qingsi went to Lingzhou to handle state affairs and that Xiao Miaochen was pregnant, Lu Congbi often came to Chen's house to stay with her to prevent her pregnancy from harming her body.

It turned out that Xiao Miaochen was very well-behaved and did not complain at all. His sensible nature made Lu Congbi, a veteran, feel a little distressed. He even couldn't help but complain about Li Zhi and Chen Qingsi: one did not know how to be considerate of his subordinates, and the other knew that state affairs were the most important thing.

Others did not dare to publicly complain about Li Zhi, who was growing in prestige, but Lu Congbi, who took care of Li Zhi and had captured many of the emperor's chickens, did not have such scruples.

Especially when the due date came, Lu Congbi even moved to Chen Di to stay with Xiao Miaochen.

Until today, Xiao Miaochen gave birth and the eldest son of the Chen family was born.

Lu Congbi walked into the back room and took the child from the midwife. Looking at Xiao Miaochen, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper and whose breathing was labored, he stepped forward with a smile, put the little guy beside him, and said, "Look, how old is the child?" You are in Mr. Chen’s shadow!”

Xiao Miaochen managed to open her eyes, looked at the child, and smiled lightly.

Lu Congbi glanced at the midwife responsible for delivering the baby and said, "Go and revive!"

Lu Congbi had lived in the palace for many years, so how could he not recognize that the midwife in charge of delivering the baby was Aunt Mo in the palace.

Aunt Mo was well aware of Lu Congbi's position in Li Zhi's heart, so she bowed respectfully and retreated.

Aunt Mo did not dare to stay and went directly to the palace to inform Empress Wu about the safety of mother and son.

"I know, that's good news! Your Majesty will feel at ease..."

Empress Wu smiled sincerely, but she was not so happy in her heart.

She is that man's sister...

Empress Wu has gone through a lot of hardships and suffered a lot, including the humiliation and ridicule from Concubine Xiao Shu.

She really didn't like Xiao Miaochen, and neither did Chen Qingsi.

It's just that Chen Qingsi's foundation status is getting stronger day by day. For such a talented person, even if he doesn't like it, he can't show it, and he has to try his best to make friends and appease him.

"Why don't you stay in Chen's residence for a few more days? Mr. Chen has a heavy burden and is out of the capital. There are so many people around Mrs. Chen..."

"I have some prescriptions for replenishing your health. Go to the Imperial Medical Office to grab some and take them to Mrs. Chen."

Aunt Mo first kowtowed to the leader, and then said: "It was Mrs. Yan who asked the old slave to come and revive me."

Mrs. Yan Guo?

Empress Wu said calmly: "Mrs. Yan Guo is also in Chen Residence?"

Aunt Mo said: "Before Mrs. Chen gave birth, Mrs. Yan Guo moved into the Chen residence to keep her company. The relationship between the two is very close..."

Empress Wu knew that Mrs. Yan Guo had given Xiao Miaochen a certain amount of help because of her grandson, but she did not expect that their relationship was so close. "Go! Mrs. Yan Guo is getting old, how can she be burdened? One more person means more strength. Mr. Chen is the pillar of the country. He is serving the country abroad. We must not treat his family badly."

Empress Wu performed impeccably in her position as empress.

Empress Wu didn't know much about Yan Guo's wife Lu Congbi. She was just a small talent when she entered the palace. How could she know the situation in the Prince's Mansion. When she entered the palace for the second time, Lu Congbi had already left the palace to retire due to his age and had no contact with him.

Just being a protector can take charge of the harem, which shows Li Zhi's attitude towards her.

He has only been in Beijing for two or three years, but he has already made such achievements and has such connections!

Either way!

For the sake of the prince, the overall situation comes first.

Empress Wu was a born politician. She knew that the princes of the Tang Dynasty were the least valuable. Both Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian met a dismal end.

Although the emperor Li Zhi loved and valued Li Hong very much and trained him as the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who knew what would happen before the last moment?

Her husband was cold and deep, and even as the person beside her, she didn't know what he was thinking.

His attitude towards himself is also hot and cold, and he can't figure it out.

The love and attention you receive at this moment may not last long.

Who can guarantee that Li Zhi can maintain this favor?

Empress Wu was not a person willing to wait for fate to favor her. She always believed that fate was in her own hands.

"We have to find a way for the prince to have a good relationship with Chen Qingsi..."

……

It was already late February or early March when Chen Qingsi got the news that Xiao Miaochen had given birth successfully.

At this time, not long after the construction of Xihoujiang City was completed, Chen Qingsi dismissed his soldiers and went home for spring plowing.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Chen Qingsi even forgot to be happy and stood there blankly for a long time. Finally, she uttered a sentence: You have to cheer for your child's future!

In my previous life and this life, I never fought hard.

My precious son can’t be like me, right?

He must have a father to fight for.

During spring plowing time, the project was suspended.

Chen Qingsi was not idle either. He led Di Renjie to organize the administration of Ling, Xia and Yanzhou.

The two of them directly eliminated the shortcomings of remoteness and ineffective government orders in the North.

Especially the old cases, Chen Qingsi asked Di Renjie to use his expertise to solve them one by one.

By the time of Xia Xian, Chen Qingsi and Di Renjie's status in the hearts of the people was as if they were the masters of Qingtian.

The people of the three states willingly did all kinds of dirty work for them. The project that was originally scheduled to be completed in August was completed in early July, a full twenty days ahead of schedule.

Chen Qingsi finished handling the matters at hand and left quietly as always.

The day after Chen Qingsi left, people in Lingzhou, Yanzhou and Xiazhou spontaneously built shrines.

This incident spread and became a good story.

Chen Qingsi has only been an official for five years and already has five shrines, namely Qingxi County, Tonglu County and now Lingzhou, Yanzhou, Xiazhou...

Chen Qingsi didn't know all this. He only had one thought now, to return to Beijing and see his wife and the children he had never met before.
