He clumsily hugged the child, his face full ......of joy: "'Xo' is 'Sheng', I hope the child's fate will be smooth and auspicious all the way." ”

"Okay," Wen Po said with a smile, "You students in the school love this kind of literary crepe,...... It's so good to listen to! This child has a great life, and he will surely be blessed in the future. ”

"Thank you for your auspicious words."

He's so happy.

"...... Er" He looked at the little baby sleeping soundly in his arms, a little reluctant, but he still entrusted the child to the mother: "Take it out...... I'll go see Pingjun. ”

The child suddenly "babbled", that little face, Tuantuan, so cute.

Xu Pingjun lay on the bed, and the tiredness after giving birth invaded her whole body, making her look weak and weak.

Liu Yi had quietly approached, knelt down in front of the bed, stretched out a hand, and gently touched her forehead.

Xu Pingjun opened his eyes.

He smiled.

"...... sick?"

It seems to be in a dream, in a trance, and it is not real.

"It's me." He laughed silly. Look at her and smile.

"Child...... How do children ......?"

"It's very good," Liu Ying looked at his weak wife, a little distressed, "You look like this, and you still take care of the child......"

"One life, just fight for him," Xu Pingjun smiled bitterly, "Can you ignore it?" ”

"But in my heart, the most important thing is you." Liu Yi had already held his beloved wife's hand and couldn't help choking with emotion.

"If the child is not protected, I will not be fine...... Sick ...... You don't know,...... I don't know how important this lump of flesh that grows in my belly day by day is to be a mother. ”

"No matter how important...... Pingjun, I can live without my child, but I lose you...... But no! Liu Yi was already a little afraid, choked up and said: "Don't do this in the future, Pingjun, I can't stand the torture of such a choice, you ...... Don't take your life lightly! If you insist on being so ruthless, I will only need one child, not a second one! ”

"What about stupid ......"

"It's not stupid, you promise—you promise me, Pingjun......" He looked so sad with red eyes: "I'm serious, if there is a next time, you must not joke with your life, ah?" ”

There was a rare sadness on his face, Xu Pingjun couldn't bear it anymore, and cried: "Whatever you say, it's what it is." I'm sick, I promise you, I promise you! If you succeed in the future, you will put your life first. I promise Pingjun that in this life, I will never fail you! ”

"Okay Pingjun, ...... in the future I and I both regard you as our life. He was moved: "Our family will definitely be together well, well......"

The sun is just right under the porch.

Xu Pingjun has not yet been out of confinement, she has been bored in the house for a long time, she can't stay, she is soft and hard, and she is sick before she is allowed to sit outside, shine on the sun, and slowly complexion.

On this day, Liu Ill had already received the stall back, only to unload the basket, and then set out to hug the child, the child fell asleep, and he took over to hug it, the little baby babbled and screamed, and Liu Ill was amused......

Xu Pingjun said: "You are as naughty as Yu'er, he fell asleep so easily, so you have to wake him up." ”

"How cute she is! Pingjun, you see, the child who is only a few days old is a lot fatter than before! He hugged Yu'er and sat down in front of Pingjun.

Xu Pingjun started a family routine with him.

It has been several days since the emperor died, and the world is in mourning. Everyone in the world knows that the Daxing Emperor died in his youth, and he never left an heir for the Han Dynasty, and the throne is now vacant, and I am afraid that it will inevitably be remembered. I'm afraid that the world will be chaotic.

Although Xu Pingjun is a woman, she also has her own insights into current political affairs. Because he asked Liu Aiji: "Since Emperor Daxing has not been left by the crown prince, who can pass on this throne?" ”

Liu Ai already knew that Pingjun's thoughts were all about him, and the world would change, if he was exchanged for another son of heaven, the policies and edicts would change, and then the kindness of Liu Ai, the "great-grandson of the emperor", would naturally change. It will really affect the life of their little couple.

Liu Yi has already said: "A sage should be selected among the heirs of Emperor Xiaowu to occupy this high position." In ancient times, the father died and the son succeeded, and the brother died and the younger brother died, and the first person to choose should be the brother of the same generation of the Emperor Daxing. ”

Speaking of the succession, Liu Yi remembered the scene when he met the young emperor and Ah Chi's mother-in-law outside the Changmen Palace that day, and Ah Chi's mother-in-law said that she would allow him the world as a "reward". He didn't know the identity of Ah Chi's mother-in-law at that time, and he only thought it was an old woman's joke. Now I know it, and I feel that this is absolutely impossible.

This time, when Ping Jun talked about this, he couldn't help but be touched in his heart. For a while, I didn't know if I wanted to tell Ping Jun about it.

At this time, the child in his arms cried, and Xu Pingjun was about to take the child: "It's sick, give it to me." ”

He didn't give it, and said, "What's the matter?" Are you hungry? Didn't you just feed it......"

Xu Pingjun smiled: "You are completely inexperienced, it is not easy to raise a child, it's not that you're hungry, it's urine." You hold it to me, and I'll change the diaper. ”

"You're still in confinement, if you can do it for you, I'll do it." Liu Yi is already full of confidence: "Is it inconvenient to change a diaper, I will too!" ”

Xu Pingjun laughed and said angrily: "Ability, be careful of your son pouring your face!" ”

She looked at the back of her busy illness, and suddenly burst into tears.

This Lang Jun did not make a mistake. She doesn't seek wealth and glory, she only wants the two to stay together for a long time. Even if it is coarse tea and light rice, and Jingchai cloth skirt, she thinks it is enough.

It's God who treats her well.

Xu Pingjun often sat under the verandah, shining on the sun, looking forward to the return of his illness. The neighbor's women who like to chew always come to visit the door, and there are always broken mouths on the street that can chew and listen to her, so Xu Pingjun does not feel lonely. In a trance, the day can pass.

A few mothers-in-law sit together, and they can't finish the family routine.

Xu Pingjun heard what he wanted to know from their mouths.

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family next door said: "Pingjun can't go out when he is in the moon, but he has missed many rare things. ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family covered her mouth and smiled, and the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family in the neighboring village giggled and said: "Yes, yes, Pingjun doesn't know, what has happened outside in the past three or two days!" The sky has changed! ”

Xu Pingjun asked: "I know half of the things, but I also know." The young emperor collapsed, and he had no children, and it was inevitable that the situation would be shaken in the future, but what else was going on? ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family said: "Pingjun has been at home for a long time in the confinement, but I don't know how strange it is outside. Two days ago, the streets and alleys were crowded, and I was on the street with my sister-in-law Chen next door, listening to the big guys chattering that there was a bustle ahead, and the princes from all walks of life were called by the court and came and went to Chang'an. The two of us squeezed forward with all our strength, and we also wanted to see which dignitaries and dignitaries were in the convoy approaching today, and guess what we saw? ”

Xu Pingjun just wanted to guess, who thought that the daughter-in-law of the Shi family was already laughing from ear to ear, and when she said it twice, she covered her mouth and laughed again. Laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.

The sister-in-law of the Zhang family stabbed the little daughter-in-law: "What do you say?" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family eased her voice at this time, and smiled while patting her legs: "Hey! What a dignitary! We saw a fool! …… What a fool! Haha......"

"Fools?" Xu Pingjun was a little interested.

You must know that the young emperor collapsed, but he did not leave an heir, and the vacant throne of Chang'an has become a good thing for everyone to fight for! Princes from all walks of life naturally flocked to Chang'an, these ambitious princes, all of them are heroes in the world, how can a fool be sent to Chang'an to explore the wind?

When the daughter-in-law of the Shi family said this, she smirked again, and only after laughing enough did she calm down her breath and continued: "Pingjun, what kind of joke did you see with your sister-in-law Chen? Haha, the two of us walked into the crowd, and finally got close to the guard of honor, there was a chariot in it, and the tent was embroidered with a badge, so majestic! Our hearts were full of anxiety, but we saw that the man on the chariot lifted the curtain, what kind of prince and general was the original way! But it is a roe deer-headed rat 'monkey master', this Hou Ye actually stood up on the chariot, shaking the chariot left and right, everyone laughed, and the Hou Ye also laughed. Hee-hee...... Are you supposed to be done? Far from it! This marquis in the fief on the unknown side actually nodded to the onlookers one by one, and there was still a hala in his mouth, counting them one by one, and saying: 'This is beautiful...... That's good-looking...... 'Ouch!' What do you say? Anyway, he is also the marquis of the sub-seal, and it is said that he is still the blood of Emperor Xiaowu, so he is so frivolous! Ha ha...... Pingjun, sister-in-law Zhang, you haven't seen it, if you see it with your own eyes, you will be amused to death by this monkey-like 'master'! ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shi family lowered her waist with a smile......

Sister-in-law Zhang said: "Is there really such a character? Don't you want to lose all the face of the Han family? Ouch, those who don't want to be crowned kings and marquises, their hearts and galls are all on their faces, tsk......"

When Xu Pingjun heard them say this, he became more and more curious, and asked: "Sister-in-law of the Shi family, do you know which prince this person who entered Beijing two days ago?" This behavior is also grotesque. ”

"Changyi is here, this master, his father is the king of Changyi, you always know who the king of Changyi is, right? Liu Ji, the mourning king of Changyi, was the most favored son of Emperor Xiaowu during his lifetime...... and Mrs. Li, who 'took care of the city and then the country', was his biological mother. "The daughter-in-law of the Shi family still knows something.

That is to say...... This 'monkey master' is the grandson of the famous Mrs. Li back then? Sister-in-law Zhang interjected and asked.

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Li, who is beautiful, how can she have such a frivolous grandson...... Didn't you see it with your own eyes, this king of Xiaochangyi, saw the beauty of our Chang'an, and he was on the street! Tsk, what a word! Even ordinary people will not have such a frivolous upbringing! ”

These mothers-in-law talked for a long time, and then they thought that the work at home had not yet been done, and some of them couldn't sit still. Seeing that Xu Pingjun had been sitting for a long time, he was a little sleepy, so he said: "Pingjun, you have to take care of your body, it is inconvenient to ventilate outside for too long, so we also have to go home, make a fire and cook and get busy." Why don't you have a good rest...... I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Xu Pingjun got up to send him off.

Not long after, Liu Ying also came back from the stall. Because he saw Xu Pingjun, he was still smiling, and hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law, you go into the house to rest, and I will make a fire." ”

The two of them sang together, and soon made a table to eat.

The two sat opposite each other and chatted about family matters. Xu Pingjun told Liu Yi what he heard from several little daughters-in-law today.

Liu Yi was taken aback, put down the chopsticks, and said, "You guys are also talking about this?" ”

"What," Xu Pingjun also exclaimed, "This matter has spread?" You've heard that too? ”

Liu Yi already smiled: "Can this matter not be preached, how many jokes have been made since Liu He, the king of Changyi, entered Beijing!" How ridiculous! After Emperor Xiaowu, he didn't want to become a joke told by women one day! ”

"So, there is more than one trick played by the king of Changyi?"

"Of course," Liu Yi had already sandwiched a piece of meat for his daughter-in-law, and said, "Eat more, Pingjun, you have lost weight recently." Then he continued: "Don't say that this part of the road to Beijing, before entering Jinggi, Liu He did a lot of flamboyant and rampant things. Two days ago at Uncle Zhang's Mansion, I heard the adults talk about it. This Liu He - from Changyi to Chang'an, along the way, the looting of people's fat and ointment was rampant, and he robbed when he saw beautiful women, where did he pretend? It's all in his car! Isn't it ridiculous, you say? ”

Xu Pingjun's eyes widened when he heard this, and he had never heard of it: "Robbing people's girls? Also looting the people's fat and people's ointment? - Isn't this a rogue bandit! ”

"It's almost the same," Liu Yi said helplessly, "The face of the surname Liu of the Han family has been lost by him!" ”

"This ......" Xu Pingjun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Isn't there anyone in the Han court to admonish them?" ”

"Who listens to it? Emperor Daxing is lying in the coffin of the White Tiger Hall at this moment! ”

Xu Pingjun took a breath of cool air, then got up, quietly closed the wooden door of the hall, and bolted it again. She cautiously made a silent gesture, and then sat back down opposite Liu Ai.

"He ......" Xu Pingjun subconsciously lowered his voice: "King Changyi...... He...... How so? Does no one dare to care? ”

"Huh, tube? How arrogant is he now," Liu Ying reached out and stroked Xu Pingjun's hand, and smiled lightly, "Pingjun, do you guess what other grotesque things he has done to gossip about people?" Just be assured, you'll not be able to guess. ”

Xu Pingjun thought about it and shook his head: "I can't guess." ”

Liu Yi only told a joke with his wife, because he said: "The young emperor collapsed, and the court summoned him to the palace to preside over the funeral...... He said, "His throat is so bad that he can't cry." ”

As soon as Liu Yi's voice fell, Xu Pingjun laughed out loud: "There is a ...... in the world There is such a person. She couldn't think of the words to describe the king of Changyi for a while.

Liu Yi has said: "This person was born with a strange intestine, but there are also blessings that he has come from." How many princes are eyeing the throne, I am afraid that it will fall into the bag of this fool. ”

"Why, it's going to be ......" Xu Pingjun was shocked: "How come?" Is the successor to the throne recommended by the courtiers? Will there be any dismal cuò? ”

"There will be no mistake," Liu said lightly, "I heard this result from Uncle Zhang, who has a lot of relatives in the court, and it is rumored that the general Huo Guang strongly recommended this king of Changyi to ascend to the throne." Ihoko's influence in the DPRK and China...... There is a good chance that this thing will be done. ”

Xu Pingjun sighed and frowned: "Isn't this going to be a big deal!" ”

Liu Yi had already seen his daughter-in-law's frowning and thoughtful look, and he only felt funny, because he said: "Does Pingjun also have an opinion on the affairs of the court?" You sue me, Changyi Wang Jianzuo, what's wrong? ”

"Heh, you're underestimating me!" Xu Pingjun was unconvinced and said: "Although I am a woman, I still understand the basic things!" Isn't that what you said, this King of Changyi...... It's ridiculous! When he entered Beijing, he robbed the people's girls all the way! If he becomes the emperor, won't the people of the world suffer! ”

Xu Pingjun finished speaking angrily, still feeling incomprehensible and quite indignant.

Liu Ying smiled and began to clean up the dishes: "It turns out that Pingjun also understands the affairs of the court!" Under admiration, admiration! ”

Xu Pingjun hadn't recovered from Fang Cai's anger, and still exclaimed angrily: "What can I do then?" The great general, the great Sima, they ...... How could they allow this to happen? It should be...... Hoodwinked, right? ”

"That's not necessarily, it's hard to say that the important ministers of the court don't like King Changyi to be the emperor."

"Why?"

"What do you think, when the young emperor is here, the government is monopolized, Yinghui is very, and no one dares to blind the king's heart as a minister. Now it's easy to change the day, and the courtiers recommend a mediocre and incompetent person to be the emperor, can't they hide from the king and do whatever they want? ”

"So...... That Huo Guang is not a good person? Xu Pingjun realized.

"I don't know this," Liu said with a smile, "I don't know him." ”

"Alas, this is really not good, the king is stupid, and it is not us people who suffer."

Liu Yi looked at his wife with a deep understanding on her face, and smiled: "It's not certain." There are too many capable people among the princes, if the choice of merit is decided, the princes from all walks of life will inevitably disagree with each other, and then the dispute will arise again, just afraid that the rebellion of the seven kings will be repeated. ”

Xu Pingjun is extremely thoughtful today. After listening to Liu Aiji's words, he lowered his head...... Seems to have thought about it.

Liu Yi had already taken her into his arms, and said softly in a low voice: "Pingjun Pingjun...... Turmoil in the court...... None of these things have anything to do with us. What I want most for half my life is to live peacefully and happily with you and our son-in-law...... Never separate. ”

Never separate.

So...... Best.

When Xu Pingjun got up on the second day, Liu Ai was already gone, thinking that he had gone to the market with a basket on his back. She washed herself, fed the child, and sat down alone under the porch to draw her shoes......

While drawing, there are words: "Ah, Ah, my mother will cut you out...... Guess what Niang is doing? ...... Mother is making shoes for you! Mother do it slowly, one pair at a time, a week, two weeks, three weeks...... I can wear it every year...... When she grows up, she will be able to wear all the shoes made by her mother through a round of ......."

Little baby babbling in the cradle......

At this time, the wind is light and the clouds are warm, and the sky is just right. Time flows slowly at the fingertips, the little baby is asleep, and the mother is taking the soles of her shoes under the porch......

Pingjun thought about it, this life is like this, and in this way, it is enough.

She will be grateful to God for giving her such quiet years all her life.

It's just that......

She didn't know that God had "had" given it to her.

"Once", that's it.

Suddenly, the copper ring of the auxiliary head touched lightly, and there was a sound of impact.

"Who?" Xu Pingjun asked lightly, just as those mothers-in-law came to talk to her again yesterday, so he said: "Push the door in by yourself, there is no bolt." ”

The door clicked and was pushed open......
