"Come, Bao, dear father!" Meng Chang put his big face in front of Yuxue's cute baby, wanting to ask for a fragrant kiss, but the child didn't even look at him, pouting and spitting bubbles to play.

Meng Chang had no choice but to put his face directly on the child's mouth and kiss himself. But Xiao Po seemed to be very unhappy, and turned his face to the side.

"This child is full moon!Your Majesty, have you thought of his name?" Xu Rui leaned on the soft pillow, watched the father and son play, and asked softly.

When the child is born, the father takes a nickname, and then takes the big name when the full moon is baptized, which is the custom of Shu.

"I've drawn up several, you can choose which one is good!" Meng Chang said, and asked the subordinate next to him to present Xu Rui with a booklet.

Xu Rui looked at it and almost couldn't hold back her laughter. I saw that the booklet was written with words such as "Meng Xuanrui", "Meng Xuanxin", "Meng Xuannian" and so on. This is choosing a name for the child, not confessing to herself! Xu Rui felt helpless in her heart.

"What do you name it? I think it's all here. Meng Chang was also very helpless, he picked up the pen, and only a few words came to mind. If it weren't for his usual self-confidence, he would have wondered if he hadn't read much.

"The child was born in sunny weather, if you don't go, let's call Meng Xuanzhe Lang!" Xu Rui thought for a while and said.

"Okay, that's the name!" Meng Chang continued to play with the child in his arms. He pricked the child's face with his beard, Xiao Xuanlang felt uncomfortable, and he was about to cry when he pouted. Meng Chang hurriedly removed his beard, and the child's face turned cloudy and clear. He hadn't bothered about having children before, and he hadn't paid that much attention to them. Now that the territory of Shu is peaceful, abandoning the cumbersome etiquette in the palace, he saw the birth of this child with his own eyes, but felt very wonderful. Playing with children is also a great pleasure. Why didn't you find out before?

"Okay, don't play! the people outside are still waiting for the ceremony!" Xu Rui couldn't help but remind her when she saw that their father and son were having fun.

"Okay. Meng Chang said, and handed the child over to the nurse to serve. He sat on the edge of Xu Rui's bed, took Xu Rui's hand and asked, "Do you want this child to be the son of the world?" This child is very smart at first glance, and I want him to inherit the foundation of Shu in the future. ”

"Lord Wang, you must not! You have the eldest son, how can you mess up the order?" Xu Rui hurriedly shook his head when he heard this. This child is still too young, and if she does this, won't she put him on the cusp? Besides, she really has no ambition, and she has to let the child have much power. People at the top are generally lonely, lonely, and unhappy. She just wants him to have a good life.

"Don't you really want to? That's what everyone else wants!" Meng Chang felt a little depressed. It was the most honorable thing he could give, but the child's mother was not uncommon.

"Lord, the concubine knows your mind. But he is still so young, who knows what he will think in the future? Moreover, although Shu is included in the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Zhao brothers may not be at ease with us. We need a strong heir in Shudi. The eldest prince is both civil and military, and his ability has been verified on the battlefield. It is most suitable for him to be the son of the world. Together, we can ensure that our family is better developed. ”

"I see. Meng Chang didn't know what the best choice was, but sometimes he couldn't restrain himself, so he wanted to give their mother and son the best. Since she really doesn't want it, forget it!

A few days after the conversation between the two ended, the patriarch of the Xu family and Xu's father and mother applied to visit Xu Rui in the palace again.

Xu Rui wondered in her heart, but when the elders came, she didn't dare to slack off, so she got up and got off the bed.

Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward and pressed him and said, "Don't move, lie on the bed obediently." The body is important, and we don't care about these false courtesies. ”

Seeing this, the patriarch of the Xu family pursed his lips and disagreed. Xu Rui hurriedly instructed Hongying and them to beckon everyone to sit down, made tea for them, and stood aside obediently.

Xu Rui didn't have any contact with this Xu family patriarch before, only knew that he was an old-fashioned person. The only time there was a deeper intersection was when he just found out that he was pregnant, and he had to let Lime enter the palace to compete for Meng Chang's favor. That incident really her off. This old patriarch is also in charge of a lot, isn't the affairs of the clan enough for him to worry about? and he is still trying to meddle in the affairs of the palace? Now that she looked at him like that, she suddenly felt that there might be trouble again.

Sure enough, a woman's feeling is the most accurate. Xu Rui made this conclusion in her heart, and not long after, the old patriarch began to confirm what she thought in her heart.

"Rui'er, look at the place where you live, tsk, which of these things is not a treasure? It's just that you can't just patronize and enjoy yourself, but you also have to think more about the people in the clan, so that everyone can live a better life! Don't forget, why are you also from the Xu family!" The old patriarch looked east and west, and saw that everything looked like he couldn't put it down, which really made people not know how to describe it. Especially what he said, it almost made people want to vomit. In his literal sense, he was simply a selfish sinner.

"Look at these maids, heck, they're so ignorant. When our masters spoke, they stood there with no way of avoiding it. If this is in my house, this kind of maid will definitely have to be cleaned up. What do you see, why don't you go down quickly?" Old Patriarch Xu walked around the room just like in his own home, and felt that what he was going to say next should not be heard by these maids, so he raised his nose at them and raised his eyes, and directly drove them away.

But these maids all listen to their masters, and who would listen to an outsider? So all stood there and did not move, but looked at the old man with great displeasure.

"Don't you want to leave?Rui'er, how did you discipline your subordinates?Why are you so disobedient?" Seeing that no one took care of him, the old patriarch Xu suddenly became angry and directly attacked Xu Rui.

Before Xu Rui could speak, Hong Sakura couldn't help it. She has always been a straightforward character, and she will never spare any effort to defend her master. Now when I heard that such a good princess was said by an old man who came out of nowhere, even the prince had never said so much about his own princess, and I suddenly became angry.

"Our princess is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, unlike some people, who don't know what good things they have done, so they self-righteously start to go to other people's houses to find other people's faults. Our princess is a person with a fate, and not everyone is qualified to talk about her. ”

Old Patriarch Xu is used to being patted on weekdays, so he has developed the habit of being the only old man. Now that I was suddenly choked by a little girl, I suddenly felt that I couldn't hang it on my old face.

"You little girl, why are ......you so ignorant? You...... Rui'er, is this what your servants in the Shu Palace's Mansion look like?Ah? It's too unusual, isn't it?" Old Patriarch Xu first pointed at the red cherry blossoms with his finger, and then turned to Xu Rui, and jumped to his feet angrily: "It's really unbelievable! ”

Xu Rui really didn't want to deal with this old man, but seeing the embarrassed look on his parents' faces, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Red Sakura, you all go down!"

"Princess!" Sakura didn't want to leave, because she thought that this old man would still bully her own mother. But seeing the embarrassed look on her face, she still stomped her foot and retreated. Before leaving, she glared at him viciously.

"Look at it, look at it! I, an old patriarch, will be angry with a maid when I go to my junior's house. What is the reasoning of this? Kuang Zhang, you are a generation of Confucianism in vain, and the daughter you raised is just like this!" Old Patriarch Xu sat down on the chair next to him, picked up a Ruyao blue and white teacup, took a sip of it, and then slammed the teacup on the table.

Xu's father and Xu's mother trembled angrily. They didn't want to come today, but they came to disturb their daughter's rest. But the old patriarch had to say that he hadn't come to see Rui'er yet, and now he had to come and visit him on the occasion of the child's full moon. He also said that many old ministers suggested that he move and let the king of Shu simply pass on the position of the prince to the descendants of the Xu family. After all, how much the King of Shu loved Xu Rui, everyone saw it! Especially after the Emperor of Shu invited himself to be the King of Shu, he disbanded his harem by the way, and let those women who had no heirs take a sum of money and left the palace to marry themselves. Everyone said that it was because Xu Rui was pregnant, and the king of Shu was currying favor with his princess. It made the old patriarch's mind come alive. After all, there has been a princess in a family, and there has been a prince, and the weight is not the same.

The old patriarch Xu found Xu's father and Xu's mother to talk about it, and even took out the things that they had received from them when they were children, and Xu's father reluctantly agreed. In fact, someone also muttered about this matter in Xu's father's ear, and he didn't know what Xu Rui thought in his heart. He didn't have any ideas himself, but if his daughter really had that interest, whether he liked it or not, he had to find a way to help her. Who let that be his grandson? So he finally brought the old patriarch in to visit Xu Rui.

But the old patriarch is just domineering in the clan on weekdays, this is the palace, how can he use his seniority to oppress people and do whatever he wants? His own daughter is the princess, who dares to let her be angry? Although the old patriarch Xu has a high seniority, but his identity is there, Rui'er didn't say that he should come to greet them according to etiquette, and just now he had to stand up and greet them, what else did he want?

It's just that Xu's father has always been a gentle and honest person on weekdays, and he doesn't want to face conflicts with others. Besides, after all, he had eaten a few meals at the patriarch's house when he was a child, and he really didn't want to speak to him politely, so he bowed his head and was silent, and stopped talking.

But Father Xu's silence is in the eyes of the old patriarch Xu, which is a symbol of weakness. He was even more proud, and turned over the old accounts.

"Rui'er, I didn't say you, you said that you are a woman, you should be generous and take a long-term view. But look at the way you are now, you yourself are not sensible and don't worry, we help you worry about it, and what is the result? We finally sent Lime into the palace, but you were afraid that she would steal your limelight, so you secretly sent her away. You don't say she wants to go on her own. Who would let the emperor's concubines go and go to find an ordinary person to marry? You must not be able to tolerate her and get her out. What about now? As the prince's wife, you gave birth to a son-in-law, and you could have asked the prince to pass on the throne of the prince to his son, but what about you? I heard that the prince also asked your opinion, and you resigned, right? Why do you say that you are so brainless? You, you, how much benefit you could have brought to the Xu family, but you tell me what you have done for our Xu family since you married the prince? You have not done anything!"

"Old Patriarch Xu, you have gone too far. Don't forget that your son lost his gambling money and was threatened to cut off his hand, or will we help you fill in the money!" Mother Xu couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out this sentence.

Old Patriarch Xu touched his nose in embarrassment, and immediately found a new reason for himself.

"It's still your daughter's fault. Just because she entered the palace as a concubine at that time, she asked all our Xu family members to be low-key and low-key. My son used to read well, but he was guided like this, so he simply didn't read at all, so he made those fox friends and dog friends......"

"Old Patriarch Xu, we respect you as an elder, but you have to touch your conscience when you speak. Your son hasn't lost money once or twice, and who in the neighborhood doesn't know that your son has been bad since he was a child? How can you blame someone else's daughter? To say something that doesn't respect you very much, I heard that you also gambled when you were young, and you don't know who your son learned from!"

"Good...... Good...... Xu Kuangzhang, look at your good wife and daughter! I knew that I was embarrassed by you like this now, I shouldn't have pitied you in the first place and let you go to my house for dinner, you would starve to death!" Old Patriarch Xu was angry and yelled at Xu's father.

"I also hope that I didn't receive the gift of your meals at the beginning, but now I want my wife and daughter to suffer such an insult from you!" Father Xu's eyes were also red with excitement. He can tolerate the old patriarch being so unkind to him, but he keeps saying that he is good for the Xu family, but he reverses right and wrong and insults his daughter, he really can't bear it anymore.

"Good...... Good...... You have stiff wings, don't you take us old fellows seriously, do you? Are you qualified to call yourself a great Confucian? You are a white-eyed wolf!" Old Patriarch Xu's beard curled up, looking very funny.

"My husband's debt to you has already been paid off all these years, please stop threatening Entu to repay it, and don't beat my daughter's idea again. Your daughter is divorced, your son is married, and gambling debts are paid, so I am helping you, not to mention the trivial things on weekdays. If it weren't for my husband's reasons, do you really think you would be able to secure the position of patriarch? If you don't think it's enough, we will return it to you, please don't involve my daughter. She's not something you should touch. We already put up with it last time, and we won't put up with you again this time. ”

Anyway, her face had already been torn, and Mother Xu didn't want to think so much, so she confronted the old patriarch Xu directly.

"You...... People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient! Sure enough, only women and villains are difficult to raise!" Old Patriarch Xu's face turned red and shouted.

"You only raised your own family, right?Do we have someone here for you to raise?" Hearing that the movement inside was too loud, the red cherry blossoms who came in without worrying happened to hear the words of the old patriarch Xu, and took it casually.

"You...... You dead girl! See if I don't beat you!" Old Patriarch Xu was annoyed and ashamed, he didn't dare to beat Xu Rui, he didn't dare to beat Xu Kuangzhang and his wife, didn't he dare to beat a maid? He raised his hand and called out to Hongying's face.

But before his slap fell, a hand grabbed it tightly. He struggled for a moment, struggled not to move, looked back angrily, and saw a grim face, and next to him stood a cold-faced prince.

Old Patriarch Xu hurriedly withdrew his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Meng Chang and said, "The contemptible people don't know that the prince has arrived, and they still look forward to the prince Haihan." ”

"Haihan doesn't say it first, let's not talk about it, we people from the Shu Palace, when will it be your turn to call the shots?" Meng Chang's tone was cold, and Old Patriarch Xu knew that he was really annoyed with himself when he heard it.

"I was also in a hurry, and I didn't mean to be offended. I am the elder of the princess's family, and I have come to visit the princess today. If you don't believe her, you can ask her. Rui'er, tell the prince quickly, I am your elder. Say it quickly!" Old Patriarch Xu is also a nest, and he knows that the people in the clan will not really clean him up before he dares to do this. When he met someone who really couldn't be provoked, he immediately changed his style, and immediately remembered that only Xu Rui could save him. So he opened his mouth and begged her for help.

In that situation just now, Xu Rui, as a princess and a junior of the Xu family, is really not good at what to say. But it was impossible for her to disappoint the people who were protecting her, so she turned her head slightly and ignored the request of Old Patriarch Xu.

Seeing that Xu Rui's head was tilted to the other side, the old patriarch Xu was immediately disappointed, but still did not give up and said: "Rui'er, Rui'er, you can't leave the Xu family alone......"

"Okay, what kind of system is it to shout and scream?" Meng Chang said coldly: "Li Xin, send this old man out of the mansion, don't let him come to our mansion again in the future." ”

"Yes!" The burly and cold man who grabbed Old Patriarch Xu's arm just now agreed, and grabbed Old Patriarch Xu and drove him out.

"This time, for the sake of the princess, I will let you go. If you dare to come to my house in the future, be careful that I am not polite to you. After Li Xin threw out this cruel sentence, he turned around and left. The old patriarch Xu was left to stay where he was, and the passers-by pointed at him.

"No, I'm not going to give up just like that. I won't let you humiliate me in vain!Okay, you don't need my support, His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince always needs my support, right? I'll make you regret it!" Old Patriarch Xu roared as he jumped on his feet in place.

In the Shu King's Mansion, Father Xu felt a little uneasy. Bi has a very kind personality, after all, it is an old man, an old man who has given him a few meals of kindness.

"I'd better go out and have a look! Get someone to send him home. Xu's father said to Xu's mother, "You take care of Rui'er." ”

"Well, there you go. Mother Xu and Father Xu have been in love for decades, how could they not understand his thoughts?

But when Father Xu called someone to come to the gate of the palace, he found that the old patriarch Xu had already left. He shook his head and returned to the palace. 166 Reading Network
