During this period of time in prison, Jiang Chuanxiong went out early and returned late every day, going all out, which can be described as painstaking and exhaustive.

Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan were worried about his body, so they carefully prepared nutritious meals for him every day, and spent a lot of time making health soup for him.

Over a period of time, although others worked hard, their spirits were very strong and radiant.

During this period of time, thanks to the great assistance of Guo Yifan, Jun Zipeng, Shangguan Che and Gong Yan, the affairs in the court could be handled or carried out in an orderly manner, so Jiang Chuanxiong was very satisfied, and decided to help these people invite merit to the emperor after Emperor Li Pei returned, so that they could get the corresponding rewards, and planned to personally feast them once at that time.

Time passed day by day, and the court was in order, even better than when the emperor was there, and the people praised Jiang Chuanxiong's team for their proper management.

This is very gratifying to Jiang Chuanxiong.

He has been an official all his life, and what he hopes most is to be recognized by the people.

In the blink of an eye, there are still five days to go until November, and on this day, after the morning court, Shangguan Che came to see Jiang Chuanxiong and said, "Lord Jiang, according to the report from Gong Xingyi, I haven't seen Sima Yu and Concubine Meng have a private date in the past fifteen days. ”

Jiang Chuanxiong nodded and motioned for Shangguan Che to sit down.

Shangguan Che asked, "When Your Majesty returns, should we inform Your Majesty of this matter?"

After all, Concubine Meng had a private meeting with Sima Yu.

"I'm thinking about that, too," Mr. Jiang said.

Although Concubine Meng and Sima Yu met in private, they didn't know what they said and did after they met.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chuanxiong said: "Don't tell Your Majesty about this matter yet, let's continue to observe this matter secretly, and tell Your Majesty when there are more clues and the situation is more serious." ”

If it was just a private meeting between men and women, there was no need to tell His Majesty, after all, if this matter was said, it would not only ruin Concubine Meng's mother and son, but also lose face to the heavenly family.

Shangguan Che nodded and said, "Yes, then we have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

Jiang Chuanxiong nodded and led him to sit down in a pavilion in the courtyard next to Wenyuan Pavilion.

"A month, not a long time, not a short time, thanks to the full assistance of you, Lord Guo, Lord Jun and Lord Gong, nothing went wrong. Jiang Chuanxiong said while pouring tea for Shangguan Che, his tone was quite emotional and grateful.

Shangguan Che smiled and said, "The main thing is that Lord Jiang is well-governed. ”

Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Shangguan, don't be modest, without a few of you, I naturally can't take care of everything in the court." There are five days left, and hopefully nothing will happen in those five days. ”

Shangguan Che hurriedly said: "My lord has dealt with all the things that should be handled, and there should be no trouble." ”

"I hope so," Jiang said.

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

At midnight on the morning of November 1, Li Huai's wife, Shu Bei, gave birth to her and Li Huai's third child safely.

Li Huai, who had been waiting nervously outside the delivery room all night, was immediately relieved when he learned about it, and walked in quickly regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates.

He and Shu Bei had a son and a daughter a few years ago, and then because Li Huai had an intimate relationship with the queen mother, he was reluctant to have sex with Shu Bei, so there was a five-year gap between their last child and this child.

When Li Huai walked in, Shu Bei, who was already exhausted, still tried her best to smile at him, and said softly: "It's a boy." ”

Looking at her pale face and listening to her weak voice, Li Huai's eyes moistened, he walked to the stool next to her bed and sat down, gently took her right hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Thank you!"

Shu Bei's eyes suddenly turned red, leaned her head on his lap, and said, "Don't thank you between husband and wife." And he said, "I am glad to see that the child is healthy and in good limb." ”

Li Huai turned around to look at the newborn in the hands of the nurse, but saw that the newborn had a round face and a round head, and was pink. At the moment he was closing his eyes and looking serene, apparently asleep.

The kid looked a lot like him.

He carefully took the child from the nurse's hand, thinking about all the hardships Shu Bei had since she conceived the child, and her eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.

He gently placed the little one beside Shu Bei.

Looking at this pink newborn, Shu Bei's maternal love suddenly flooded, regardless of the pain in her body, she leaned over to kiss the baby's face, and tears of gratitude immediately flowed to the baby's face, making the baby instinctively struggle for a while.

Li Huai hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and wiped away the tears she accidentally got on the baby's face, in the process of doing these things, he suddenly gave birth to a feeling of 'the greatest happiness in the world is nothing more than this', and couldn't help but burst into tears.

A maid came in from outside and said to Li Huai: "Lord Shizi, the prince asked you to go to his study now." ”

Li Huai hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hurried away.

His father, Ling Wang Li Ling, was already sitting in the study waiting for him, and when he saw him come in, he said with a smile: "I just heard that Shu Bei gave birth to a boy, congratulations." ”

Obviously, he himself is also very happy, he has always hoped that the people of the Li family will be prosperous.

"Thank you Daddy!" Li Huai said busily, also with a smile on his face.

"Sit down. Li Ling said.

Li Huai sat down.

The experience of the past three years has made the hearts of Li Huai and Li Ling, the father and son, closer and closer.

"I'm going to go to Beijing in mid-November to make an annual report to His Majesty, do you want to go with me this time?" Li Ling asked lightly, the corners of his eyes swept over Li Huai's face almost invisibly.

In the middle of November every year, when the feudal kings from all over the country return to Beijing to report on their work, they usually take the New Year's goods to pay tribute, and then have the annual dinner with the Son of Heaven in the palace before leaving. Naturally, when you leave, you will also receive the reward of the Son of Heaven.

This year, he is not sure whether Li Huai wants to go with him, one is because Shu Bei has just given birth to a child and needs the company of her husband, and the other is that considering the previous twists and turns between Li Huai and the Queen Mother, he is also a little confused about Li Huai's attitude.

He is still quite worried about the rekindling of the old relationship between Li Huai and the Queen Mother.

Li Huai replied without hesitation: "Shu Bei just gave birth to a child, and her body and spirit are very poor, I want to stay by her side and spend more time with her." ”

This was exactly what Li Ling wanted, but Li Ling was still not at ease, so he lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "That person, can you really put it down?"

Because of the mention of that person, Li Huai blushed unconsciously, but he still nodded very firmly and said, "Put it down." ”

For the current Li Huai, the Queen Mother is a person he can't forget in his heart, but he never dares to touch it in reality, scratching his heart and lungs but also helpless.

She was only fit to remain in his memory.
