"Sister, are you too sensitive?" Xie Yi persuaded, "With the prince's character, you won't hurt a child, not to mention that this is still his own brother." ”

"What do you know?" Xie Xuan sneered, "This kid is a son-in-law, and he is the only contender for the position of prince, so it's no wonder that he's not in a hurry!"

"He's already the crown prince!" Xie Comet muttered quietly.

Xie Xuan suddenly glared at Xie Yi very sternly, and said coldly: "The son of this palace is the son-in-law, the only heir of His Majesty, Liu Changqing is just a cheap breed of unknown origin, what qualifications do you have to fight with the son of this palace?"

"Sister, be cautious!" Xie Yan was startled and hurriedly said.

Xie Xuan recovered slightly, paused and said: "This palace warns you, if your heart is towards that kid, don't blame this palace for not recognizing your sister! There is no possibility between you and that kid, you die of this heart!"

Xie Yi turned his head and said angrily: "I don't want anyone, you can do as you like!"

While speaking, I saw a palace person shouting outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Xie Xuan's face showed a hint of obvious joy, and he glanced at Xie Xuan warningly: "In front of Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

"I know. Xie Yi handed the child to the nurse who was waiting on the side, and said with a pout.

As he spoke, he saw Liu Xu striding in.

Because of the treasures given to him by Mo Ziyu and the food raised by the Yongji business, Beixia was able to solve the drought and quell the civil strife with ease, this year's rain was abundant, and the harvest should be good, after solving this mess, he could finally take a breath.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Xie Xuan led Xie to salute.

"The third lady is also here!" Liu Xu said, "Let's all be even." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xie Xuan brought a cup of hot tea to Liu Xu and asked with a smile, "Why does Your Majesty have time to sit here?"

"The government affairs are almost handled, come and see the children. Liu Xu said, "How are you okay in the past two days?"

"Okay!" Xie Xuan hurriedly asked the nurse to carry the child over, "Your Majesty, look at it, this child will be smiling today! Your Majesty, this little smile is exactly the same as Your Majesty!"

Liu Xu held this small lump of meat in his arms, he stared at this small one, I have to say, this child does look a little similar to him, this is the bloodline, although this child is a little surprised, but also a little helpless, but after all, this is his own flesh and blood, when looking at this child, I still feel very kind in my heart.

"Changyu, his name. Liu Xu looked at the pink baby and said, "I hope he can grow up safely and well, become a pillar of talent, assist his brother, and stabilize the Jiangshan Sheji in Northern Xia." ”

Xie Xuan's face changed for a moment, and then he smiled reluctantly: "This kid is very smart at first glance, and he will definitely become a pillar of talent, and he will not disappoint His Majesty's hopes." ”

"The rebellion in the north has been completely quelled, and your brother has contributed a lot, and he is already on his way back to the court. Liu Xu said, "I plan to reward him again." ”

"My brother is His Majesty's courtier, and everything he does is his duty, His Majesty's grace to the Xie family has enough, and there is really no need to reward him again. Xie Xuan said.

"The rewards and punishments are clear, and since he has made meritorious contributions, he should be rewarded. Liu Xu said, "I have already decided on this matter." ”

"In this way, the concubine will be my brother, thank Your Majesty in advance!" Xie Xuan blessed her body, "Your Majesty will eat here in the evening, and the concubine will go to the kitchen to make a few dishes that Your Majesty likes to eat." ”

"Don't bother. Liu Xu handed the child back to the nurse, "I will go to Concubine Qi to sit at night, and I have to inspect the prince's studies, so let the third lady accompany you at night." ”

"Yes. Xie Xuan said disappointedly.

Liu Xu then got up to leave, Xie Xuan looked at his back and sneered and said: "Have you seen it, Your Majesty is still very angry with this palace! Your Majesty is still on guard against this palace, this palace has already given birth to a child for him, but he and this palace seem to be still strangers, do you really want this palace to take out his heart and give it to him, will he know that he is really the only one in this palace's heart?"

"Sister, don't think too much. Xie Yi replied, "Your Majesty's heart is also long, and after a long time, Your Majesty will understand your sister's mind." ”

"I hope so. Xie Xuan sighed and said.

Later, Liu Xu inspected the prince's schoolwork at Concubine Qi's residence, Liu Changqing worked hard as always, his studies and martial arts were very outstanding, he never made people worried, he was always the one to be proud of.

"Drink a little lotus seed soup!" Concubine Qi brought two bowls of soup to His Majesty and Liu Changqing, "It's not too early at this time, Your Majesty will inspect the prince another day, the prince has studied for a day during the day, let him relax now." ”

"His studies never bothered me. Liu Xu smiled, "I was very naughty when I was as old as him, Taifu assigned his studies, and our brothers always thought about how to be lazy and how to play, this kid is better than me!"

Concubine Qi smiled slightly: "Who made him the prince, the responsibility on his body is no better than that of ordinary children!"

Liu Changqing smiled lightly: "Erchen just doesn't want to disappoint his father. ”

Liu Xu looked at Liu Changqing, although he was still a teenager, but his eyes were calm like an adult, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and sighed softly: "I don't know if what I did was right, I have such strict requirements for you, for the sake of the future of the Northern Xia society, but I called you, and lost the nature of a child." When you were in King Qi's Mansion, you were still a happy child, and since you became the prince, you have rarely laughed. ”

"That's because Erchen has grown up. Liu Changqing said.

Concubine Qi said with a smile: "Today, the prince still praises the prince for having the demeanor of His Majesty back then! By the way, I heard that the war in the north has subsided, which is gratifying and congratulating, and Lord Xie has made great contributions." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xu stirred the lotus seed soup in his hand, lowered his eyes and responded softly.

"After Master Xie returned to the court, are there any officials who have become knights?" Concubine Qi rolled her eyes and said, "The queen gave birth to a prince, Lord Xie has made another miraculous achievement, and the Xie family is even more prominent." ”

"What do you want to say?" Liu Xu put down the soup bowl, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." ”

"The concubine knows. Concubine Qi said, there were some things she wanted to say, but she didn't dare, but she felt faintly worried in her heart.

The power of the Xie family is getting bigger and bigger, but the queen gave birth to a prince, isn't it a threat to the prince in the future?

Liu Changqing lowered his head and drank the soup silently, without speaking.

Liu Xu glanced at the two of them and said, "I am measured." ”

Nanchu, the royal palace.

"Come here, come here!" Qian Yan took a small rattle and teased the little prince on the other side of the bed, making him crawl towards him.

The little prince giggled and crawled towards her.

Qian Yan was jealous of Sun Pingling, but she couldn't hate this child, maybe because she was really lonely in the palace, and teasing this child every day became her only pleasure.

After playing for a while, the little prince was tired, and asked the nurse to go down to rest, she was sitting on the throne, glanced at the virtuous concubine who was sewing a belly pocket for the child, flicked her sleeves, and said: "Your Majesty mentioned to me yesterday that you want to crown the noble Qi as the Qi concubine, and the ceremony of sealing the concubine will be held together with Your Majesty's emperor ceremony." How important is this imperial ceremony, the envoys of many countries will come to congratulate, Your Majesty at this time, named her a concubine, how important to her, at that time she will stand by my side and Your Majesty, together to accept the congratulations of all countries, such a glory, even you don't have!"

Sun Pingling was still carrying out the work at hand, and said lightly: "Since it is Your Majesty's will, you can only do this, and you can't disobey the holy decree, right?"

"Don't you have any thoughts in your heart? Are you really so magnanimous, or do you not have Your Majesty in your heart at all?" Qian Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is it important?" Sun Pingling smiled faintly, "The most important thing is to do what you have to do." ”

Qian Yan's biggest regret was that she shouldn't have let herself fall into Jiang Liu's hands and become her weight to threaten Your Majesty, which not only made her embarrassed in front of His Majesty, but also lost her sense of proportion in her father's place, making them miss a great opportunity. She was at a loss, so when she faced Mi Zi in the future, no matter what he asked, she only had to agree, and she didn't have the courage to question it, and she saw that Qi Qinyin was now a pet with the harem.

It's just that this Qi Qinyin is very smart and forbearing, and he is obedient to her, and he has always stood on her side, so that Qian Yan's heart is a little awkward, and he doesn't know how to treat her.

"You already know that Qi Qinyin is similar to that slut, right?" Qian Yan asked coldly, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

"She was chosen by you, Queen. Sun Pingling said lightly, "Even now, she is still very close to the queen, and she has never been pampered and arrogant, and she has done something against the queen, why is the queen angry?"

"Concubine Xian's words are really still leaky!" Qian Yan sneered, "I used to think that I always knew what I wanted, but after all these days, I gradually didn't know what I wanted. ”

"Let me send a message to the queen. Sun Pingling said, "It's still the same sentence, do what you should do, do what you think is right, so that you can be practical." When this heart is steady, there is no fear. ”

"Fearless?" Qian Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You think I'm scared?"

"I'm afraid that there is a queen, you know it in your own heart!" Sun Pingling smiled.

"You're not afraid, that's because you have a son and you have to rely on!"

"The queen is her mother-in-law, and he is your son!"

Qian Yan's heart softened, swallowed his saliva, and didn't say anything more, but his face was a little more contemplative.
