Chapter 271: Application
Liu Yaoying sat down in front of Li Pei and looked at him with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That smile is like a warm spring breeze.
Li Pei shook her hand and said softly, "Have you been happy in the more than a year since you married me?"
Liu Yaoying smiled and nodded, put the back of his hand on her face, and said, "The days with Your Majesty are the happiest days for concubines. β
There was a lot of happiness and satisfaction in the tone.
Li Pei touched her head with a smile and said, "The days with you are also the happiest and calmest days for me. β
Who said that you should be with someone who can make you feel at ease, because this is the closest union to the essence of happiness.
They were both glad to have found each other.
Liu Yaoying gently stroked Li Pei's hand and said softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine has good news for you." β
Li Pei immediately stared at her and said, "Oh?"
Liu Yaoying pulled his hand to her stomach and let him stroke her belly.
Li Pei suddenly understood, and asked happily, "How long has it been?"
Liu Yaoying replied: "A little more than a month." β
Their son, Li Xi, is now nine months old, and they have had sex since Li Xi was six months old, and neither of them has done any contraception, so it is not surprising that they would get pregnant.
Li Pei planned to have a few more children with her, so since marrying her and entering the door, he asked the kitchen to carefully cook three meals a day for her.
She was originally very weak, but because of the nourishment of love and a very reasonable diet, her body is getting better day by day.
Thinking about it, it is also his credit that she can live to this day, she has always been grateful to him in her heart, and of course she loves him very much, so she also hopes to have a few more children for him.
When a woman loves a man very much, she will be willing to have children for him from the bottom of her heart.
Li Pei touched her belly through her clothes like touching an extremely precious treasure, his movements were gentle and careful, and then he gently pressed his face against it and said, "It's good that Li Xi has company again." β
Liu Yaoying nodded, leaned down, and pressed his lips lightly against his.
She loves this man, she loves him to the core, and she knows that this man loves him too.
Li Pei then sat up, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her violently.
.........................
Early in the morning, after the morning court, Xiao Hong, the emperor of the Shu Kingdom, went to Liu's residence.
He wanted to accompany the Liu family to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
At this time, Liu was five months pregnant, and her belly was already quite pregnant. Because of eating well, sleeping well, and being in a good mood, Liu seemed to be in good spirits that day.
Xiao Hong hadn't been to the Imperial Garden for nearly three months, so when he came in today, he found that many of the flowers and trees in it were taller and more lush than the last time he saw them, so he sighed: "How vigorous the vitality of flowers and plants is!"
Liu smiled and said, "With the land providing nutrients, as well as the nourishment of sunshine and rain, of course they will be vigorous." β
Xiao Hong asked her, "Do you envy flowers and trees?"
Liu Shi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "After flowers and trees take root somewhere, they can only live and die there, and they can't go to other places to see other scenery, so the concubine doesn't envy them." β
"Dandelions and duckweed will do. Xiao Hong said with a smile.
Since learning that Liu was pregnant, Xiao Hong has been in a good mood.
Liu replied with a smile: "But the dandelion needs to rely on the power of the wind, and it has to float wherever the wind blows it, and it can't decide its own direction; β
She paused, and then said, "If you can't decide your own direction, this kind of far-away concubine is not envious. β
Xiao Hong smiled and said, "That's what I said." β
Then, he took her hand and continued walking. After walking for a short time, the two came to the banyan tree planted by Xiao Diyuan.
"Ah, you've grown so tall!" Xiao Hong sighed.
"It's eight or nine years old, right?" said Liu.
She remembered that the banyan tree seemed to have been planted by Xiao Diyuan when he was six years old, and she still remembered that on the day he planted the banyan tree, she scolded him for a trivial matter.
"Mm-hmm, nine years. Xiao Hong said, I don't know what he suddenly remembered, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Liu stopped talking, reached out to touch the thick trunk of the big banyan tree, and soon she found the words engraved on itβthe words 'Shanzheng' and 'Ting'.
Xiao Diyuan's word 'Shanzheng', so these two words are easy for her to understand, but she doesn't know what the origin of the word 'court' is. Does it mean that he longs for a warm home? or something else?
Liu frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't judge accurately, so he said to Xiao Hong: "Your Majesty, do you want to see the words engraved on him?"
Xiao Hong looked at it, and when his gaze fell on the word 'court', his expression changed slightly.
At this moment, a father-in-law walked over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness asks to see you." β
Xiao Hong and Liu couldn't help but look awkward.
"Did he come to the Imperial Garden?" Xiao Hong asked the father-in-law.
"No, he's waiting for you in your study. The father-in-law hurriedly replied.
"Did you say what was going on?" Xiao Hong asked.
He is now preoccupied with the garden, and he is a little unhappy with Xiao Diyuan's sudden request to see. However, he also knew that Xiao Diyuan would never come to him easily if he had nothing to do, so he groaned for a while and then returned to the imperial study.
The father-in-law originally wanted to say, "If Your Majesty doesn't have time to see him now, he can come back to you at night", because this was Xiao Diyuan's instructions, but when he saw that the emperor had already walked to the imperial study, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Liu originally wanted to spend a good morning with Xiao Hong in the Imperial Garden, but now that he was broken by Xiao Diyuan, he was quite unhappy, since Xiao Hong couldn't accompany her, it was not interesting for her to continue shopping alone, so she reluctantly returned to her residence.
Seeing Xiao Hong coming in, Xiao Diyuan hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Hong took his robe and sat down on the dragon chair, and asked with a smile, "What is the matter with Yuan'er looking for me?"
Xiao Diyuan hurriedly replied: "It's not a big deal," he glanced at Xiao Hong, and continued: "This year, the Shuguo is generally smooth, the country is peaceful, and the father and the people can live with peace of mind, so Erchen wants to spend half a year to go to Erchen's fiefdom to take a walk, and by the way, learn about the local people." Then he added: "The area under the jurisdiction of Longlong (the leader of an ethnic minority in the northern tip of the Shu Kingdom) happens to be adjacent to Erchen's fiefdom, and Erchen also wants to take this opportunity to find out about them and see if there is a way to subdue him. β
As early as two years ago, Xiao Hong had already decided to divide the four cities in the northwest border area of Shu Kingdom into Xiao Diyuan's fiefdom (Flying Fish Island was also among them), but because Xiao Diyuan was not old enough, so now the four cities are still managed by Xiao Hong, and Xiao Diyuan has not officially moved to the fief to live.
The area under Longlong's jurisdiction was at the northern end of the Shu Kingdom, connected to the northern end of Xiao Diyuan's fiefdom.
In the past few years, Longlong wanted to establish himself as the king, and raised troops to make trouble several times, but Xiao Hong was afraid that he would join forces with Yunguo (a neighboring country to the north of Shuguo), so he did not take the way of extermination. Now, if you talk about the most troublesome thing for Xiao Hong, it will be this matter. Fortunately, he has always sent troops to guard the border pass, so it will not make too much noise among the people of Longlong.
