In the eighty-seventh year of the Tang calendar, the fourth year of Tianyu, in winter, Wangshu City...... No snow.

On the rice paper, the ink slowly faded, dyeing the somewhat sharp handwriting with a little softness.

Staring at the small words on the paper, Pei Ming hesitated for a long time, after all, he didn't know what to write, turned his head to look at the figure in the courtyard that kept pacing in the cold wind, smiled helplessly, simply put down the pen, picked up the black coat on the side and walked out.

"What's the use of you being in a hurry here? Are you anxious that this child will be born smoothly? He teased the other party as he threw the robe out of his hand.

The man in the courtyard, who was strong and resolute with a little softness, took the coat and didn't wear it, just hugged it in his arms, glanced at the gate of the inner courtyard, turned his head and said, "I know it's useless, but I'm worried!" You said that if there is an accident here......"

"Shut up!" didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, Pei Ming, who originally looked indifferent, as if the sky was not shocked, his face suddenly darkened, and a cyan energy instantly gushed out, and it was fiercely sealed on the other party's mouth, "Close your crow's mouth!" If you can't speak, don't speak! ”

The man on the other side obviously understood his gaffe and nodded. Pei Ming snorted coldly and waved his hand to withdraw his strength, and took away the broken bluestone under his feet.

The man looked at Pei Ming, then at the other party's feet, and said with a smile: "Old Pei, you still say me, aren't you the same yourself?" The internal force is unstable, and I'm embarrassed to say it. Other than that...... I'm also the prince who rules a domain, so can't you give me some face? ”

"It could be sometime else, but not now. I don't know you foolish? He is a good hand at handling military affairs, but when it comes to his own people, he immediately becomes more confused than anyone else. I will give you the face in front of people, but you have to listen to me after people. ”

"I ......." The man was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he thought for a long time and simply bypassed the topic, "Don't talk about me, aren't you the same?" Besides, who am I, Tang Duo? The god of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the dynasty, what scene have you never seen? It is not the first time that a daughter-in-law has given birth. It's you, you don't even have a daughter-in-law, and you're still pretending to be calm with me. ”

"Don Duo! What's wrong? Do you want to do it on the big day? Pei Ming's face sank, obviously Tang Duo's words touched some of his bottom lines.

As soon as the words came out, Tang Duo regretted it, he knew why Pei Ming didn't marry so far, this is also his biggest rebellious scale, once anyone touches it...... Definitely undying.

"I ...... Lao Pei ...... I was so nervous that I lost my voice for a moment......" Tang Duo said apologetically like a child who had made a mistake.

Pei Ming took a deep breath and raised a finger, "Give you a chance!" For Xuan'er's sake, I don't care about you! ”

"Wow! Wow! ”

Just as Tang Duo looked happy and wanted to say something, a loud cry suddenly came from the inner courtyard. The conditioned reflex was general, Tang Duo's figure flashed, and a black light flashed and disappeared in place in an instant.

"Out of breath!" Pei Ming shook his head, his figure flashed, and he followed closely, but the bluestone slab that shattered into powder under his feet seemed to hit him in the face hard.

Inner courtyard, listen to Xue Xuan.

With that loud cry, all the maids and women who had been busy all day breathed a sigh of relief, and their brows that had been constricted all morning suddenly relaxed, and they were a little active and had already thought about how much reward they could give out later. If you want to say which one is the happiest among the people, it is naturally the few stable women who are in charge of delivering the baby.

Giving birth to the princess is definitely a step of heaven and one step of hell, fortunately, God blesses, there are no accidents, although it has been a little longer, but fortunately, there is no danger, and what surprises them even more is that the princess gave birth to a boy, which means that from this moment, King Dongxian has a successor in the real sense. According to the character of the prince, not to mention other rewards, even the reward is enough for them to laugh from ear to ear.

"Xuan'er! Xuan'er! A few stable women were thinking about good things, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a strong figure was about to break in.

"Lord Wang! I can't help it! A few stable women shouted to close the door, and before they could reach the door, the stout figure was carried out by a slender arm.

"You bastard! A woman can't break in after giving birth! If you touch the mold, you won't have a place to cry if you regret it! Pei Ming's scolding came from outside the door. A few stable women also breathed a sigh of relief, this woman has just given birth to a child, some filth has not been dealt with, if a man comes in at this time, it is going to touch the head, not only for the mother, but also for the child, not to say that it is the palace, even the average person who gives birth to a child also pays attention to this, and before everything is taken care of, it is categorically not allowed to let men in.

However, ordinary people can say that in this palace, with the skills of the prince, if they break in, they will definitely not be able to stop or persuade them, but fortunately, Master Pei arrived in time, so he didn't touch the mold.

In this palace, the only one who can restrain the prince is probably Master Pei......

Shook his head violently, and threw out all the nonsense in his head, and a few stable women hurriedly started to clean up the aftermath, and it was indeed true that they couldn't enter, but it was their fault to let the prince wait too long.

After a while, a few stable women took care of everything, and after repeatedly making sure that it was correct, they opened the door and welcomed Tang Duo outside the door, but the prince's right eye was slightly black when he came in, as for the reason...... It seems that he was beaten by Master Pei just now when he was shouting outside and had to go in.

A few stable women didn't look at it much, lowered their heads and said that the mother and son were safe, and then hugged the newborn little son to the prince.

Looking at the pair of bright eyes in front of him, Tang Duo smiled childishly.

"Reward! All rewards! Each of you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold! 100 acres of fertile land! All maids and daughters-in-law will be rewarded with a year's monthly money! ”

"Lord, Lord Prince, whisper ......" Seeing that the other party's voice was too loud, several stable women hurriedly reminded.

"Foolish! I don't want the other eye anymore, do I? Outside the door, Pei Ming's voice was not loud, but the penetrating words came in faster. Tang Duo's voice suddenly froze, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

A few stable women held back a smile, thanked the reward, and reminded: "Lord, the princess will give birth, and she is weak, so she fell asleep first, and the prince is still young and cannot be frightened, so please pay attention to one or two." ”

Tang Duo nodded, just wanted to speak, but he was afraid that his voice would be too loud, so he made a gesture and motioned for a few people to go out to receive the reward, and then hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, looking at the lovely person lying on the bed with pity.

Several stable women gave a salute, and one of them put Xiao Shizi in the cradle that had been prepared, and several people slowly retreated.

Walking outside the house, there was still heavy snow like goose feathers in the sky, and Pei Ming, who was dressed in a green coat, stood under the eaves, looking at the closed door with a relieved face.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this little son was born, and it snowed for the first time this year, Xiao Shizi is a blessed person, God saw it and gave a good year as a gift." A stable woman glanced at Pei Ming, gave a salute, and sighed with a smile.

Pei Ming glanced at her fixedly, and a smile appeared on his unsmiling face, "That's right, double the reward, and I'll go to the account room to get the money later." ”

After saying that, regardless of the thousand thanks of the stable woman, he turned his head and left, and now that his godson was born, he has to celebrate.

It's night.

Wangshu City's Chinese lanterns are on display, even if it snows heavily, the hawkers in the city are also opening their tents one by one and selling hotly, and the people who have long been resting have also taken to the streets, wandering among the vendors without hesitation, and the scene is even better than the lantern festival during the New Year.

Why? It's not because Dongxian Wangfu gave birth to a little son, in order to show that he has fun with the people, the palace announced that all the vendors who open tonight, regardless of what they sell, will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver for each family, and each people's consumption tonight will be reimbursed by the palace, and the people of the whole city will be happy! And so there was this scene.

At the same time, it was lively outside, and the palace was even more comparable, starting from the afternoon, the wealthy households in the city, the officials under their jurisdiction, and the officials of the surrounding cities...... But all the characters with heads and faces came to the door in an endless stream to congratulate. The arrival of these people not only busted the housekeepers and maids in the house, but also busted the cooks in the house, after all, people come from afar, why do they have to eat something? So, from the time the fire started in the afternoon to the present, five cooks and ten helpers were so tired that the housekeeper didn't know that the master who was in charge of the restaurant was temporarily brought in from that restaurant, as for the original chef in the house...... I've been tired for a long time, and I don't know where to let people carry it.

Similarly, the subordinates are busy, and Tang Duo, as the master, can't be idle, among the people who came to congratulate, there are not many who are qualified to let him see each other, but he can't stand the large base, so that he has not been able to make time until now, so he can only take advantage of the gap to tell Pei Ming to take a look at Xuan'er's situation and send some food by the way.

Pei Ming naturally knew that Tang Duo was worried about his wife, and as his own sister-in-law, Pei Ming was also worried about the other party, so he fooled around casually, and then went to the backyard under the pretext of being in a hurry.

Holding a bowl of porridge, he walked to the backyard a little anxiously. Before entering the door, he suddenly heard a rapid cry coming from the courtyard, Pei Ming frowned, and looked at the side room sharply.

Because the child was just born, it was easy to cry, in order not to disturb his wife's rest, Tang Duo temporarily ordered someone to move the child to the side room, and found a number of maids to take care of it. After listening to it for a while, Pei Ming suddenly felt bad, the child's crying gradually weakened, and his voice was not a normal cry, but it was as if someone had choked his throat.

I didn't have time to think about it, I threw down the porridge bowl in my hand, and my figure flashed, like a green light, and I came to the side room in an instant. Sure enough, a woman dressed as a maid in the room was standing in front of the cradle, her eyes wide, and her hands pinched the delicate neck of the baby in the basket. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise outside the door, and without even looking at anyone, I turned around and screamed and rolled out of the window.

Pei Ming's face turned pale, and he wanted to chase it, but after thinking about it, he hurriedly looked at the child in the cradle who was already purple and breathing weakly. I don't have time to think about it, if there is a slight delay at this time, the child will die in Huangquan. The internal force was transported to both hands and slowly attached to the child's chest, and a trace of cool internal force penetrated into the child's body under Pei Ming's very subtle control, helping him breathe while combing the lungs that had been damaged a lot. And the child's originally purple little face, under its combing, slowly calmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Less

Tang Duo, who had been busy greeting guests, received a message from his subordinates that his son had been assassinated and almost died. Even if Tang Duo lifted the table, he ignored the incomprehensible guests next to him, and exerted his strength with all his strength, and appeared in the side room in two breaths.

"Who did it!" As soon as he arrived, Tang Duo hurriedly glanced at the child who was already asleep, and then looked at Pei Ming, who was still carefully combing the veins of the child's lungs.

"A woman dressed as a maid, it's hard to say whether she is a maid in the house, most likely in disguise." Pei Ming said lightly. Although the tone was flat, there was boundless anger and remorse in it.

"Then I will immediately block the entire palace, not allow anyone to enter or leave, and order the guards to check one by one, as much as possible to determine who it is, Lao Pei, have you seen any characteristics on the body?" As soon as Tang Duo changed his previous recklessness, he calmed down, and in a blink of an eye, he came up with the most effective method.

Pei Ming was not surprised by Tang Duo's transformation, on the contrary, this was the Tang Duo he knew, "The other party seems to have a mole on his right cheek, which may also be soot, pay attention to the maid in charge of the room and the greenhouse." ”

"Good!" Tang Duo responded, looked down at the sleeping child, his eyes were full of worry and sadness, and then raised his head suddenly, worry and sadness were instantly ignited by anger, and then forcibly pressed down by reason, without saying much, he left the side room with a flash.

late at night

In the middle of the day, the carnival in Wangshu City has long stopped, and the streets are in a mess, but in the palace, it is still brightly lit, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded by three layers outside the palace, and the guests who came to visit are also ordered to be forbidden to leave the house, at first the guests do not understand the reason, after a few stunned young people paid their precious lives, everyone finally knew the reason. Hearing that the newborn little prince almost died, all the guests immediately became honest, didn't say a word, and waited in the mansion obediently, after all, except for the few stunned young people who were already dead, who didn't know what kind of temper Tang Duo was? It's not honest at this time...... Those stunned young people just now are role models.

After appeasing the guests, Tang Duo turned his head and entered the study where he usually handles government affairs. In the study, the three generals who were in charge of checking everyone stood neatly in the room and waited quietly for Tang Duo, but with a faint sadness on their faces, they told Tang Duo that the results were not good.

"Say it." Tang Duo said in a deep voice.

The leader of the general clenched his fists and said: "Back to the prince, the three subordinates have checked all the subordinates in the mansion according to the order, but they are just ...... No thieves were found to meet the requirements......"

The more the general spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally he closed his mouth directly, and his chin was almost on his chest. Looking at Tang Duo again, his face was as gloomy as ink, his right hand crushed the solid wood chair, and his eyes were filled with extremely strong anger.

"Get out!"

Rumble!

The anger that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupted, and the thick true qi burst out, as if a pack of explosives was thrown in the study, and the powerful force blasted everything around it, countless books and public culture were powdered, and the three generals also flew out upside down as if they had been hit by a carriage, and a mouthful of blood spurted out in mid-air, and they passed out.

"Be quiet!" In the midst of the chaos, a slightly tired voice sounded, and a soft and domineering true qi instantly suppressed Tang Duo's indiscriminate eruption of power.

"Lao Pei?" Tang Duo's face softened, he restrained his true anger, and hurriedly greeted him, "How is the child?" ”

Pei Ming glanced at him, waved his hand, and signaled him to rest assured, "Don't worry, I have sorted out the lung meridians, and the blood stasis has been discharged, and it is fine." ”

"That's good, that's good......" Tang Duo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his hands clenched, and his mouth kept chattering.

Pei Ming shook his head speechlessly, "How are people looking?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Duo came to his senses instantly, looked at Pei Ming and shook his head, Pei Ming's eyes darkened, and he said with anger suppressed.

"When I was treating the child's wounds just now, I found that there were two or two waves of thieves who stabbed today."

Tang Duo's eyes froze, his eyebrows were a little more murderous, and he said coldly: "What do you say? ”

"One of them, you know, is the one who almost strangled the child, but before her, there is another person, and this person should know a little about martial arts, he ...... ruined the child's dantian ......"

Rumble!

Before Pei Ming's words fell, the bluestone floor tiles under Tang Duo shattered, "The possibility of repair ......"

"No way...... It's too thorough......" Pei Ming's face was also gloomy, "But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to let the child take the path of physical cultivation...... He doesn't have to suffer much, with the financial resources of the palace, he can also pile up a first-class physical cultivation master. ”

"Well......" Tang Duo didn't say too much when he heard this. Pei Ming glanced at him, patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, sighed, and walked out, who would have thought that the day of great joy would become like this......

Walking to the hall, a sheet of rice paper lay on the table in the dimness, with only two lines of small characters at the beginning. Walk to the table, hold the pen and grind, and lift the pen lightly.

In the eighty-seventh year of the Tang calendar, the fourth year of Tianyu, in winter, it snowed heavily in Wangshu City, Xin'er fell, disputes arose again, the wind and clouds moved, who was in charge of the imperial power?
