Country color

Chapter 537 was born
Li Ying is all expectations for Shi Deyun, Shi Deyun held Li Ying in his arms and asked, "What did you learn today?"

Li Ying hurried to the house and took out a bunch of small stones, as well as slingshots, small stone ropes, small wooden bows, and small arrows. Shi Deyun took a look at them. These are the children of the Xi clan like to play most.

Shi Deyun nodded, thinking that although Li Ying was raised in the palace since he was a child, and was by the maids and mother every day, the man's good martial arts style was not lost.

Thinking of the future, if the queen gave birth to a son-in-law, Da Zhao would definitely pay more attention to the son-in-law, and he and Li Ying could also fade out of everyone's sight.

Shi Deyun has lived in Youjing for many years, and she can't help feeling homesick. She misses the beautiful and wide prairie in her hometown. Even if she rides for a day and a night, she can't see the end.But the high palace walls and narrow streets in Youjing will make people narrow-minded.

Huaihuang Town seems to be good, with vast grasslands and big rugs, it is much more comfortable to live there than in Youjing, and it is also the place where I and Li Chongjiu met for the first time.

If possible, I really hope to stay there for the rest of my life, ignoring this chaos. It seems that You Jing is really not suitable for me.Thinking of this, Shi Deyun secretly made a decision that after two months, she and Li Ying would go back to Huaihuang Town for a period of time, and it should be enough for Li Chongjiu to be accompanied by Yang Ehuang.

It is impossible for Li Ying to become the prince. In the future, it would be good to let Li Chongjiu give him the country, or be the master of a department on the grassland.

While Shi Deyun was thinking about these things, she heard the maid tell her, "My lord is here to see Li Ying."

After hearing this, Shi Deyun got up quickly, but saw Li Hu walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Seeing Li Hu, Li Ying broke free from Shi Deyun's embrace, threw himself on Li Hu, and shouted: "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

Li Hu laughed when he saw Li Ying, and said, "Good grandson!"

Shi Deyun said with a smile: "Aba, you have spoiled the eagle."

Li Hu said with a smile: "No matter how much my grandson can be spoiled, we Han people have a saying that we are very close to each other. Anyway, I am old, if I can see my grandson grow up safely, this life is enough. "

Li Ying began to grab Li Hu's beard wantonly, and Li Hu simply let him go.

Shi Deyun asked: "Why doesn't Aba go to see the queen?"

Li Hu shook his head and said: "It's impossible to get in at all. The inner third layer and the outer third layer are surrounded by people, and they are all here to curry favor. On the contrary, it's us close relatives who are separated. See what it's called thing."

Shi Deyun said: "The son born to the queen will be the crown prince of a country in the future, no wonder the ministers are so cautious."

While talking, a person came in a hurry and said: "Report to my lord, madam, the queen is about to give birth!"

"what?"

"Isn't there still a few days left?" Li Hu was surprised.

"Yes, but that's what the doctor said."

Li Hu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he was about to rush away. Shi Deyun quickly grabbed Li Hu and said, "Aba, don't be in a hurry right now. There are medical officers waiting inside, and we can't help."

Li Hu is concerned now, but he is in chaos. At present, Shi Deyun is holding Li Ying, and comes with Li Hu, and dozens of Shi Dexi maids who serve him.

Walking halfway, I saw that someone in the corridor seemed to have got the news that the queen was going to give birth, but I saw dozens of officials and women, crowded in the corridor yard, making a lot of noise.Some of these people cared about the queen, and some wanted to find out the news of the queen's birth of a boy and a girl as soon as possible, so they all refused to leave.

Shi Deyun thought it would be bad if Yang Ehuang's delivery was affected by such noise.At that moment, Shi Deyun looked at the guards of the court guard and said, "Drive them all out of the mansion immediately, and don't stay here."

The guard of the court guard said in embarrassment: "But many of them are family members and subordinates of third-rank and fifth-rank ministers..."

Shi Deyun said: "Don't worry about it, just say what I mean, and blame me!"

"promise!"

Seeing Shi Deyun like this, Li Hu said: "You are still decisive, but you have offended the court ministers by doing so?"

Shi Deyun said: "It doesn't matter if I offend you or not, sister's childbirth is the big deal."

Li Hu nodded, and said: "Xiao Jiu married you and E Huang, it is his blessing."

Shi Deyun hugged Li Ying and said, "Father, don't tell me, let's go!"

At that moment, the two entered the backyard of the mansion through a corner door on the side, but saw several medical officers and maids running back and forth in the yard, while Yang Ehuang was shouting in the room.

In front of the house, Li Chongjiu's eyebrows were twisted into the word "Chuan", and when he raised his head and saw Shi Deyun, Li Hu, and Li Yingren, he said in a loud voice, "You are here."

Shi Deyun nodded, and said: "Xiao Jiu, don't worry about the matter here, let us women handle it! After all, I am more experienced."

Li Chongjiu hummed and stopped talking, but seeing Li Ying shrinking behind Li Hu, he refused to come over when he saw him, as if he was a father and son.Li Chongjiu had no time to care about these things at the moment, and waited with Li Hu in the corridor under the eaves outside the house. Although Li Ying was young, he was not afraid of the cold and played in the snow.

In the snowy day, some palace servants brought hot tea to Li Chongjiu and Li Hu, as well as brocade mats for them to sit down on.

Li Chongjiu put the hot tea in his hand and put it aside, suddenly the courtyard door opened, Empress Xiao hurried in, and asked the medical officer as soon as they met, "How is the queen?"

The medical officer was about to enter the room but was blocked by Empress Xiao at the door, and said in a panic: "This... this time I am reporting to the empress, and I am..."

Empress Xiao took a deep breath, knowing that she had lost her composure, and said: "I've offended you, you can go."

Empress Xiao looked at Li Chongjiu who was sitting outside the house, and said: "I will drive all the officials and female relatives in Prince Zhao's mansion home, and wait for news. Now this mansion is all my own family."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Chongjiu looked at the snowflakes falling in the wind. The risk of a woman giving birth in this era is very high, as if she had stepped into half a ghost gate.

It's not like the 21st century, where a child comes out with the splash of a scalpel.Yang Ehuang had a serious illness before giving birth, so her body was not very good during pregnancy.A medical officer said before that the queen can only have one child, and the next child may not be easy to conceive.

Therefore, this production is really a problem for Yang Ehuang.

Caring is chaotic, and Li Chongjiu is powerless to do anything at the moment, so he can only watch outside. This kind of mood is really not good.

The production lasted from daytime to noon, but Li Hu was also mentally exhausted seeing the hot water coming in and out one after another.The scene Li Chongjiu saw wanted Li Hu to go back to rest and not to suffer here.

Li Hu thought he couldn't help, so he agreed.

Li Chongjiu, Shi Deyun, and Empress Xiao were sitting under the eaves of the corridor, while Li Ying was tired from playing and sat in Shi Deyun's arms taking a nap without knowing anything.

Empress Xiao saw that Li Ying was lively and active, so she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch his face, smiled and said: "This child is really cute, I want Ehuang to keep him by my side, and get close to him in the future. "

Li Chongjiu's expression changed when he heard this, but Shi Deyun didn't hear Empress Xiao's implication, and said, "Okay, it's Ying'er's blessing to have the empress value him so much."

But Li Chongjiu snorted and said: "This kid has been playing badly since he was a child. How can Ehuang stand up to his tossing, but the boy needs me to take care of him personally to prevent him from being bad. I think this kid is very active and naughty. If you manage well, you might be a brave general in the future.”

Li Chongjiu took the words lightly, and Empress Xiao smiled, but did not speak.Shi Deyun lowered her head when she heard this, and wondered if it was because Xiao Jiu thought she taught Li Ying poorly, saying that she was like a child in the prairie and didn't know etiquette at all.

In fact, Shi Deyun didn't know that what Empress Xiao said just now was to test Shi Deyun's meaning, asking Shi Deyun to give Li Ying to Yang Ehuang and let Yang Ehuang to raise him would be tantamount to recognizing Yang Ehuang as his mother in the future.This is not surprising. At that time, the southern gentry, when the main wife had nowhere to go, the concubine would hand over his children to the main wife to raise them. Even if he got a heirloom, he would be able to inherit his father's family business in the future.

This is a kind of exchange between wives and concubines. To the father, they are all his own sons, so he doesn't care too much.As for the non-existent main wife, his status as a main wife was preserved.And concubines who are concubines can also obtain a status second only to the main wife in the concubine's room.

However, after the child was handed over, there was not much relationship with the concubine except blood relationship.Even when children see their biological mothers, they don't call them mothers or mothers, but just call them like other concubine mothers.The nominal real mother of the children is only the wife.

Shi Deyun didn't understand anything, Han people still have this rule, and she didn't understand what Empress Xiao meant.Shi Deyun doesn't understand, but Li Chongjiu does. He can't pretend that he doesn't know anything. Li Chongjiu knows that Li Ying is like his life to Shi Deyun. I lost this son myself.

To Shi Deyun, it was like killing her.Li Chongjiu rejected Empress Xiao's proposal without hesitation for Shi Deyun. At the same time, he also euphemistically stated that Li Ying will be a general in the future and will not threaten the throne of the son of Yang Ehuang in the future.

Empress Xiao's face was calm, and she couldn't see the embarrassment of being rejected by Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu can still understand Empress Xiao, she is doing everything for Yang Ehuang, if she gives birth to a daughter, she can kill the bad factors and consolidate her position as queen forever.

But this mother-in-law really made Li Chongjiu not dare to take it lightly.

Just when the three of them were full of thoughts, there was a sudden wow, and the baby's powerful crying broke the silence in the courtyard.

It was snowing in the courtyard, everyone's minds were in the house, only Li Ying was sleeping on Deyun's shoulder in the room.

"Born, born."

"Great."

Li Chongjiu, Shi Deyun, and Empress Xiao stood up suddenly and looked into the room.

boy, or girl?
How is Ehuang?
Li Chongjiu swallowed suddenly, unable to speak.

Time freezes at the end of the year, and the fourth year of Wude is coming soon.
