On November 19, Li Ling, the king of Ling, arrived in the capital with two carts of tribute.

At this time, the other feudal kings had not yet arrived in Beijing.

Because the exact date of his arrival had been known earlier, the palace had already prepared a room for him.

As soon as Li Ling arrived, he immediately went to see Emperor Li Pei.

The uncle and nephew were naturally happy to see each other, so the two of them couldn't help but shush and ask for warmth.

"Now all the big and small affairs are in charge of Li Huai, right?" asked Li Pei.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is being handed over gradually, and more than eighty percent of the affairs have been handed over to him. Li Ling replied respectfully.

Li Pei nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, you will be able to settle down in less than a year." ”

Li Ling shook his head with a wry smile: "Maybe it's because I'm old, the minister has been sick every once in a while in the past few years, and every time he gets sick, he gets sick for three or five months. ”

Indeed, he has been riddled with illnesses for the past few years, and he has not been able to feel comfortable for a few months of the year.

In the past, he always felt that as long as Li Huai was sensible, he could spend his old age comfortably, but now Li Huai is sensible, but his body is no longer angry, and he realized that health is the most important thing in life.

If a person is in good health, he can at least live a comfortable life when he is old, and if he is sick all day long, it is really worse than death.

Hearing his words, Li Pei's eyes darkened slightly, looked at him with concern and asked, "Can you ask the doctor to see it?"

"Of course there is, I have invited all famous doctors, but they are all symptomatic but not curable, and I think it is also due to the minister's poor physique and not paying much attention to health on weekdays. ”

Li Pei said: "Since this is the case, let's take good care of it, the human body is not iron and stone, and when you reach a certain age, you must rely on your own health and maintenance." ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern!" Li Ling said busily.

Li Pei invited him to dinner again.

Also coming for dinner were the Queen Mother and the Empress.

As soon as she saw the queen mother, Li Ling looked a little cramped, after all, her son had such an unspeakable period with her.

Even though she may not have known that he did, he was uncomfortable.

The Empress Dowager was down-to-earth and generous, and after taking her seat, she asked with concern about his physical condition and the recent situation of Li Huai and his wife.

Li Ling replied respectfully one by one, but his eyes never dared to look at her.

During the banquet, the Queen Mother asked about Li Huai's newborn again.

"Have you named it?" asked the Queen Mother.

"It's up, it's called Li Zang. Li Ling replied.

Everyone present was slightly surprised.

"Why did you think of using the word 'Tibet'?" asked the Queen Mother with a smile.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is from Huai'er, he hopes that this child will grow up to be a low-key, introverted and powerful person, not too flamboyant and frivolous. Li Ling hurriedly replied.

After listening to his explanation, everyone present smiled and did not speak again.

....................

On the Spring Festival of the 55th year of the Zhao Dynasty, it snowed, and it was raised one after another, turning the capital of Zhao into a world of pink makeup and jade.

Zhen Huiyuan stood in front of the window and looked at the snow flying outside the window, and said, "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, it seems that this year will be a peaceful and auspicious year." ”

Jiang Chuanxiong and Jiang Yuetang, who were sitting on the side, also involuntarily raised their eyes to look outside.

But seeing the snowflakes falling like goose feathers in the sky, and the world is very quiet, people are in this world of pink makeup, and even their mood has become extraordinarily clear.

"yes, it looks like it's going to be a good year. Jiang Chuanxiong said, looking at Jiang Yuetang with a smile.

Jiang Yuetang knew what he expected from her, so he said: "I will definitely go all out in this year's '69 Competition'." ”

While she was talking, Mrs. Tao walked in.

The three of them hurriedly got up to greet them.

Mrs. Tao was dressed in full clothes and well-maintained, so she didn't look like a person in her seventies at all.

She sat down on the main seat and said strangely: "This year's Spring Festival is really the quietest year I have ever seen in my life, and I didn't hear anyone's firecrackers all morning." ”

"Maybe someone will release it a little later. Jiang Chuanxiong said with a smile and took the initiative to pour her tea.

Mrs. Tao took a shallow sip of tea and put down the teacup, and said to the three of them: "I am seventy-two this year, as the saying goes, 'seventy is rare', at this age, it is really a day to live, but I always hope to see Ting'er grow up with my own eyes, but Ting'er is only ten years old, I am really worried that I can't wait." ”

Jiang Yuetang hurriedly said: "Grandmother, don't worry, you have good body and bones, and you have a long life, you will definitely be able to live a long life." And he said, "In a few years I will grow up." ”

On June 9 this year, Jiang Yuetang will participate in the top strategist promotion competition, if she can pass, it will be equivalent to getting the opportunity to enter the cabinet or the strategist group, which is equivalent to doing the things of adults, and in five or six years, she will be fifteen or sixteen years old, and it will be okay to start a family at that time.

Jiang Chuanxiong also echoed and said: "That's right, in a few years, Ting'er will be an adult, besides, you have a good body and bones, and you are good at health preservation, you will definitely live a long life." ”

Old Madam Tao glanced at Jiang Chuanxiong and Zhen Huiyuan, and said, "After all, I am old, and I will inevitably be worried. After that, he said: "Chuanxiong is fifty-five years old this year, and Huiyuan is also fifty years old, and at your age, you can be regarded as more than half of your life, and you have to think about the next generation." ”

Zhen Huiyuan hurriedly said: "Mother, please rest assured, about Ting'er's future, Yueting and his father and I often discuss it in private, but he is too young now, so let's focus on my studies first." ”

Jiang Yuetang also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, when I pass the age of fifteen, even if you are not in a hurry, I will be in a hurry myself." ”

Old Madam Tao sneered and said, "That's what I said, now that the court is still small, some things naturally can't be rushed." After saying that, his tone froze, and he said: "It's just that several of us are indeed here, and it would be false to say that we are not worried or nervous." ”

Jiang Yuetang's heart was a little heavy when she heard this, so she smiled and comforted Mrs. Tao a few words.

Old Madam Tao is also a person who is easy to think of, and after a while, she changed her smiling face and took out a big red envelope from her pocket and gave it to Jiang Yuetang.

Jiang Yuetang hurriedly thanked him.

Old Madam Tao pulled Jiang Yuetang to the chair next to her and sat down, looked at her and said seriously: "You are ten years old this year, and you can be regarded as a little adult." ”

In fact, she was still a child at the age of ten, but Jiang Yuetang knew that this was Mrs. Tao's hope that she would grow up quickly, so she nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”

That night, Jiang Yuetang dreamed of Jiang Yueting.

This was the first time she had dreamed of him since Jiang Yueting's death. In the dream, Jiang Yueting stood less than three feet away from her and looked at her, the expression on her face seemed to be happy and worried, and it seemed to be filled with endless emotion.

He just watched her quietly, looked at her for a while, and then left.
