Queen Sun

Chapter 28 Gradient
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, in June, Lizheng Hall.

Recalling this time four years ago, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling afraid. If Ruoshui hadn't woken up at that time, how would he continue this lonely road of emperor?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands, tightly locking his wife in his arms.

Ruoshui was taking a nap, but since she was pregnant with the child, she became lethargic again. Fortunately, there is nothing important to worry about recently, and even the trivial matters of the harem were pushed to her by the man who was holding her. They met Guangyue and the others.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the old saying of being in love with each other was nothing more than that.I am a queen and pregnant with a son, and now I have a tendency to be the only favorite in the harem. If I didn't know in my heart that the relationship between the eldest grandson and Li Shimin is far more than what I already know, I am afraid that I will be addicted to the unparalleled happiness in this world. Bar.

"Ruoshui, do you think this child is a boy or a girl?" Li Shimin asked with a smile when his wife opened her eyes slightly.

Ruoshui turned his face slightly comfortably: "Of course it's a daughter." In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Mingda should be born.

Li Shimin said curiously: "I thought you wanted a son." The son who died at that time was already an eternal pain in his heart.

"I already have two sons, and it's time to add a younger sister to Yao'er, so she won't have to complain to me all day that her two older brothers don't play with her." Ruoshui had a doting smile on her face.

Li Shimin said strangely: "She has so many sisters and sisters, how can she lack playmates?"

"Sister and sister?" Ruoshui said disapprovingly, "In this palace, who dares to treat the only direct princess of the Tang Dynasty as a sister? Which of your half-princes and princesses treat each other sincerely?"

Li Shimin's eyes darkened. I don't know when it started. Ruoshui became more and more clear in front of him. The emotions that were never easily expressed in the past slowly showed up when the two of them were alone. Definitely worried, thinking like this, he lowered his head casually and said, "Okay, let's not mention that, what name do you think should be nice for a daughter?"

Ruoshui laughed lightly: "Why did the second brother ask me instead? Except for Chengqian, aren't all the other children the masters of your father?"

"It's true, but I only thought of boys' names at first, how about the word 'Da'?" Li Shimin nodded slightly.

Ruoshui said, "If it's a girl, follow Yao'er's word for 'Ming' and call it Mingda."

"Mingda, Mingda, it's not like a girl's boudoir name."

"This name is suitable for both men and women. If it is really a boy, it can be used." Ruoshui still smiled lightly, not changing the future that should happen, just go and see, and see and do, maybe there will be a difference It's ten years of Zhenguan.

I saw Li Shimin pondering slightly: "If it's a boy, it's better to have a single name with the word "Da."

Ruoshui is rare to be curious. It's strange to say that Tang Taizong's multiple sons, except for Cheng Qian, all have a single name. Even Li Tai and Li Zhi, who are also his sons, are no exception. She raised her head and asked: "Second brother, why did you only take a single name? I think Li Mingda sounds much better than Li Da."

Seeing his wife's slightly wrinkled nose, as if he had never seen her so cute, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "Chengqian is our prince, and the name was chosen by the emperor himself, so it is naturally different from other princes." It's true that they are Cheng Qian's younger brothers, but they are also the prince's courtiers, and in the future they will also be the emperor's courtiers, I just want to remind them of the word "honor and inferior" at any time."

"You can't say that in front of Qingque." Ruoshui suppressed his smile and said seriously, "My two sons, no matter how old or young, I have never been biased in my heart."

Li Shimin nodded his wife's forehead: "Of course it's different from them, otherwise why would I have mentioned a small name of Qingque for him? What's more, the other princes will leave Chang'an to go to their own fiefs in the future. I have already planned So that Qing Que can also stay in Chang'an, and at most go out of the palace to open a mansion. If we have another son in the future, we will do the same with Qing Que, now you can rest assured."

Ruoshui was silent for a while, but there was always some bad premonition in his heart, Li Tai, Li Chengqian, should they really stay in the same place?Although the relationship between the two has become very harmonious under my deliberate guidance, but people will always change quietly inadvertently...changes that no one can predict.

"Ruoshui, what's the matter?" Li Shimin looked at his wife's frowning eyebrows and asked.

"Second brother, if..." Ruoshui hesitated for a while, "If one day, Chengqian did something unforgivable, would you abolish the reserve and set up another one?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked and said, "How is that possible? Ruoshui, no, I won't allow that to happen one day."

Ruoshui turned her face away, male pet, foot disease, premeditated treason, this one is more unforgivable than the other: "Second brother, if it really happened, what would you do?" She insisted on an answer.

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with deep thought, what exactly is Ruoshui afraid of?After thinking about it, he lowered his head and stared at this beautiful face: "Ruoshui, if there is such a day, don't we still have blue sparrows to choose from?"

Ruoshui finished listening quietly: "What if Qingque can't bear the responsibility of the prince?"

"Then let's have another son." Li Shimin said in a joking tone.

"Did the second brother never think about other people?" Ruoshui finally asked, if there is no Li Zhi, and Chengqian and Li Tai cannot succeed to the throne, where will history go?The eldest grandson, the concubine, and the world, which is more important?

Li Shimin suddenly smiled, put his hand gently on his wife's unprotruded abdomen, and said in a soft but strange tone: "Ruoshui, who else do you think I have thought about? Li Ke or Li Zhen? That's not right. possible."

Ruoshui sighed silently and did not speak.

"It's not just because of the ancient system of sages." Li Shimin's expression was a little complicated, "I also understand the truth that 'emperors and generals have kindness', but Ruoshui, I don't want, or I never thought about inheriting the great power in the future." Tang Jiye's person is not our child, do you understand? We are husband and wife and the emperor, and the next emperor of the dynasty will naturally be our son. It's their fate, and it's also Datang's fate."

Ruoshui was taken aback, and slowly put his hands on Li Shimin's. These hands, which have experienced the battlefield and the Xuanwu Sect, are firmly controlling the world, but they left deep helplessness on the eldest grandson or himself: "I hope it's a girl." In the end, that was all she could say.

"If it's really a princess, then you have to think about a title." Li Shimin thought seriously, "How about sealing Jinyang?"

Ruoshui was not surprised at all, and was about to say something, but his heart suddenly trembled, Jinyang, as if the grandson and Yuanji were in the same place, but always looked at each other from a distance.

Li Shimin looked at Ruoshui's gradually pale complexion, and worried, "Ruoshui, what's wrong?"

Ruoshui lowered his eyelids slightly, and said calmly: "Speaking of Jinyang, did Second Brother think of those days when Jinyang raised troops?"

"Yeah, my real first step can be regarded as starting from there, but now I think about it, but I can't talk about it. Why don't I put it on our daughter."

"Before she was born, you're going to spoil her." Ruoshui smiled happily.It all shows that Da is Li Shimin's favorite daughter. I'm afraid these words are not false, but the water will overflow... She bit her lower lip and stopped thinking about it. Although she has some memories of her eldest grandson, she still doesn't have to. Follow the fate of the eldest grandson.

"Didn't you say that? Girls are born to be spoiled, let alone our daughter. After a few days, Chengqian and Qingque will start a family, and Yao'er will get married. It's just the right time." Li Shimin's words were filled with clear relief and expectation, although he already had so many children, every time he saw Ruoshui's pregnancy, it was like the first time he was a father. happy.

Ruoshui smiled slightly, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze was clear: "It turns out that it's time for us to be parents-in-law. Time really makes people grow old."

Li Shimin pecked his wife's lips lightly with a doting smile: "You mother-in-law looks like you are about the same age as your daughter-in-law..."

Before the words were finished, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Li Shimin raised his face in displeasure, and looked outside coldly: "What's going on, didn't you say that no one should disturb you?"

"Your Majesty, Miss, Mrs. Yang has been kneeling outside the hall to see you. It has been quite a while, and the sun is shining outside, so I am afraid that it will soon be overwhelmed." Guangyue replied cautiously.

There was a moment of silence inside, and then Ruoshui's calm voice came: "Does she want to see me or Your Majesty?"

Guangyue was stunned, and hesitated: "It should be Your Majesty. Since last month, Miss has stopped intervening in any affairs, and naturally no one in the harem knows about it."

"Then what are you doing here with me? Let her go to Ganlu Hall to wait." Ruoshui's faint voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

Guangyue replied yes, but she was quite puzzled in her heart, this didn't seem like what the young lady would say in the past, not to mention that His Majesty didn't open her mouth either.

In the inner room, Li Shimin said with a smile: "It turns out that Ruoshui also has a temper."

Ruoshui's eyes flickered slightly: "We all know what she is here for. Since she is reluctant to adopt her son under Yuan Ji's name, she shouldn't have reached out to me in the first place. If you get something, you have to give. I thought She's a sensible person."

Li Shimin heard the faint coldness in his wife's words, and shook his head slightly, the coldness in his bones might not be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life, but as long as it wasn't directed at him, it didn't matter.
