"Worship heaven and earth!" "Second worship high hall!" The red candles in the main hall of the Hou Mansion in Guannei shine high, the word happy hangs high, the emperor and queen sit in the middle, Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er sit sideways, and the two newcomers bow down to them.

"Give the newcomer a thousand taels of gold, a handle of red gold Ruyi, two pairs of white bi, two Hepu night pearls, two gold chisel flower double happiness jade bracelets, and fifty royal satin silk." Xiao Huangmen read out the emperor's reward aloud, which attracted a large number of 'tsk' sounds, and everyone attending the wedding banquet couldn't help but be envious, and whispered one after another.

"Your Majesty really loves Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei's younger brother and His Majesty have come in person, so I want to get closer to them in the future!"

"Isn't it, Mrs. Wei's younger brother is married, and His Majesty's rewards are so rich, this is amazing!"

"I heard that Mrs. Wei's younger brother killed a lot of Huns and made a marquis, Your Majesty naturally values it, and the reward is naturally more!"

"Oh, you know what, it's not all because he's Mrs. Wei's younger brother..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" A couple of newcomers thanked Liu Che, Wei Zifu looked at everything in front of him, and silently muttered in his heart, "Dad, mother, have you seen it in the sky?" Qing'er, he got married! "The younger brother who grew up with her is finally married, and it is also the marriage referred to by the emperor, which is not only a great honor but also a supreme honor for the Wei family from the countryside.

Wei Junru and Wei Shao'er sat at both ends, watching the newlyweds worship, the guests were full, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings. Yesterday she was a country woman, and today she is a guest of the Son of Heaven, and it has changed so dramatically overnight, and the so-called one step to the sky is nothing more than that.

"Newcomer goodbye!" With a loud and high-pitched tone, looking at the bride with a red cover on her head in front of her, Wei Qing bowed down happily. Xiao Tianlan had a phoenix crown and a red satin on her head, and saw Wei Qing's toes through the golden silk tassels, and couldn't help but think of the appearance of seeing him when she first saw him, the world is changeable, who would have thought that the guest of the day would become his husband now, "Father, thank you for entrusting your daughter to him." Xiao Tianlan said silently.

"Send to the cave!" Xiao Tianlan's face was flushed under the red satin, and she was flustered in her heart, so she only knew that she was holding the big red flower ball. Liu Yue had just learned to walk, and it was the time when he was good to walk and run, when he saw the big red flower ball, he ran forward, and when he was about to bump into the newcomer, Liu Jue hurriedly shouted: "Sister be careful!" He reached out and pulled her.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yue was already grabbed by someone, "Be careful!" The voice came from a young man, I saw him wearing green clothes, heroic and tall, raising his head with sword eyebrows, although his complexion was dark, but full of vigorous vitality. Liu Jue was in the prime of his life, which was the age when his love first opened, and he was flustered for no reason when he looked at him, and he didn't care about thanking the young man, but he just pulled Liu Yue and reprimanded: "Sister, why are you running around!" ”

"Children are like this, you should be optimistic as a sister." The boy grinned toothily and reminded kindly.

Liu Jue smiled back when he heard this, and said, "Thank you!" My name is Liu Jue. ”

"My name is Huo Quai." The young man showed his sharp little tiger teeth, and he really looked like a little tiger, and Liu Jue blushed again.

"Eldest princess, little princess!" Cai Xi pulled Liu Jun panting and approached, and said, "You can't run around anymore, the second princess almost tripped over the doorrail just now." ”

"Got it, Aunt Caixi, my sister almost bumped into my uncle just now, and he was so embarrassed." Liu Jue pointed at Huo Quzhi and said.

"Auntie, it's you!" Cai Xi naturally recognized Huo Qubing last time he saw Huo Quzhi with Wei Zifu, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, he is still your aunt's cousin!" ”

Liu Jue was surprised: "Cousin? Aunt Caixi, why don't I know? ”

Cai Xi smiled and said: "The slave maid also saw me last time I came to my uncle's mansion with my wife..." Cai Xi smiled and said: "Three princesses, Madame can shout, let's go." ”

Liu Jue smiled at Huo Quzhi and said, "Goodbye." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "Goodbye." ”

"Queen Mother, don't you know, Ling'er heard that Mrs. Wei's brother's wedding banquet was lively yesterday!" In Changle Palace, Liu Ling shook the palace fan and began to gossip again, fanning the flames like a homely person.

"Yes, I heard from His Majesty, and many ministers have gone over to congratulate!" The palace maid gently shook the veil fan, and the cool breeze blew on her face, and the queen mother couldn't help but squint her eyes comfortably.

"What's more, I heard that His Majesty gave Wei Qing a lot of rewards, and I saw that the eyes of those princes and nobles were straight!" Liu Ling provoked with ulterior motives. It's just that the emperor loves Wei Zifu, and now he is still so even with Wei Zifu's younger brother, which makes Liu Ling very unhappy, if such a preference is known to the queen mother, she will also be dissatisfied, Liu Ling said in his heart.

"Oh..."The Queen Mother bowed slightly, "Mrs. Wei's younger brother is called Wei Qing, I heard that he is very brave, and he killed a lot of Huns in the first battle of Longcheng!" Now that Mrs. Wei is pregnant with Liujia again, His Majesty naturally values it, Mrs. Wei's birth, the mourning family must be the prince! Speaking of the prince, the queen mother unconsciously came to the spirit, "After looking forward to it for so many years, the mourning family can finally hug the emperor and grandson, hahaha!" ”

Seeing that the queen mother was not angry but happy, Liu Ling suddenly felt bored, and said in his heart, that Wei Qing was just a fledgling, that is, he killed a few Huns with good luck, is it worthy of such a big reward? Not to mention the ethereal grandson, I don't know if Wei Zifu's baby will be a girl again, don't be angry again when you old woman happens.

But seeing the queen mother's smile on her face, Liu Ling couldn't refute it, so she could only smile at the queen mother's music Taotao. Sitting with the Queen Mother for a while, Liu Ling held back his stomach and sulked, and came out of Changle Palace and cursed secretly, who expected to meet Wei Zifu and take the two little princesses to Changle Palace to ask for peace, seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Liu Ling had to squeeze out a little smile, and said: "Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, has seen Mrs. Wei." ”

Wei Zifu hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Weng doesn't need to be polite. Then he said to the two little princesses, "Yangshi, Zhuyi, I have seen Lord Liu Weng." ”

The two little princesses bowed obediently and said, "I've seen Lord Liu Weng." ”

Liu Ling saw Wei Zifu's abdomen bulging, and saw the pink carvings of the two princesses, he secretly hated in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he praised: "The two princesses are really cute, and they will definitely be beautiful embryos like Mrs. Wei in the future!" He added, "The Empress Dowager Shicai also mentioned Mrs. Wei, saying that Mrs. must be the prince, according to Ling'er, Mrs. has a round and pointed belly, and she must also be a prince!" ”

Wei Zifu only smiled slightly when he heard this: "Xie Weng Lord Jiyan!" ”

----

Seeing Wei Zifu Liu Ling's mood getting worse and worse, he thought for a moment and went to Hehuan Hall with a stomach full of resentment.

"I am Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, and I came to meet Wang Meiren." Liu Ling said to the palace people outside the palace gate with a proud expression.

A palace maid leaned forward and said, "Master Weng waits, and the slave maid will go to pass it on." ”

Liu Ling nodded and stood outside the hall waiting. Unexpectedly, no one came, and the weather was hot, which made Liu Ling suddenly lose patience, and just at this time, another palace person had something to do and walked away, Liu Ling entered the Hehuan Hall without thinking. The inside of the hall is much cooler than the outside, but Liu Ling's mood is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no Wang Meiren left and right, so Liu Ling said to the palace maid on duty in the palace: "I am the lord of Huainan, and I came here at the invitation of Wang Meiren, why don't you see a beautiful figure here?" ”

When the palace maid heard this, she responded: "Back to the master, the beauty takes care of the flowers and plants in the backyard, and the slave maid will go to spread the word." ”

Liu Ling rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "No need! Since I went to see me, please show me the way! ”

The palace maid responded to the promise, and led Liu Ling to the backyard in front. Entering the backyard, I saw that the flowers and plants were lush and green, Liu Ling had long lost the mood to appreciate the flowers and plants, and I saw Wang Yi leaning over to sprinkle water on the orchids from a distance, and the palace maid outside the gate of the Shicai Hall was leaning over to speak to her. Liu Ling greeted him with a sneer, and said with a smile: "Wang Meiren is so leisurely!" ”

Wang Yi looked up when he heard the sound and saw Liu Ling suddenly appear in front of him, his originally relaxed expression was a little nervous, he hurriedly put down the flower pot, got up and said, "The palace people just informed me that Lord Weng is visiting, and Wang Yi is not welcome. ”

Liu Ling bowed and said: "Liu Ling came to disturb, Wang Meiren is not strange." ”

Wang Yiyan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's good that Lord Weng often comes over and walks around." After saying that, he waved his hand and said to the palace maid, "You all go down." ”

The palace maid retreated, and when she saw the palace people walking away, Wang Yifang asked, "I don't know what happened to Lord Weng?" ”

Liu Ling sneered and said, "You are a beauty now, and the palace maid is waiting for Ayaluo to add her body, so she doesn't want me to come." It's just that you don't forget, if you don't have the lord of Ben Weng, you are just a pariah, and the master of Ben Weng can not only let you fly on the branches and become a phoenix, but also can pull you down to the bottom of your feet into mud. ”

Wang Yi, who said this, was frightened, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Wang Yi doesn't dare, listen to Lord Weng's orders." ”

Seeing Wang Yi's sincere and frightened look, Liu Ling showed a satisfied smile and said, "It's good that you understand your identity." ”

"What's the news of Your Majesty lately?" Liu Ling then asked.

Wang Yi shook his head and replied timidly: "Your Majesty rarely mentions state affairs in front of me. ”

"Useless stuff!" Liu Ling scolded secretly in his heart, and was about to reprimand, but after thinking about it, Wang Yi was ultimately used for his own use, and blindly harsh criticism inevitably made her angry, so she couldn't help but change her smiling face, and Enwei said: "I tried my best to let you get close to Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei can't sleep with Liujia, you have to seize the opportunity to serve Your Majesty well." ”

Wang Yi replied respectfully: "Wang Yi understands. ”

-----

Time flies and I don't realize that the willow tops are green again, the buds on the branches of the swallows are also blooming one after another, and the earth quietly changes into new clothes in the cold spring breeze.

"Go ahead, get another basin of hot water!" "Mrs. Wei works harder, the palace entrance has been opened to six fingers!" The midwife's mother was busy instructing the palace maid to do things, and at the same time she was working hard for Wei Zifu.

"Madame is like this, how long will it take?" Cai Xi saw that Wei Zifu's beads of sweat were dripping down, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Miss Caixi, don't rush, isn't the old body busy here?" Fang Wenpo is an old man in the palace, and in the past, it was not once or twice to deliver the concubines, but now that Wei Zifu is about to give birth, Liu Che has passed her to serve at any time in Zhaoyang Hall early in the morning.

"Mrs. Wei, work harder, come out soon!" The old Wen Po skillfully supported and supported Wei Zifu's waist, and Wei Zifu suddenly felt a lot more relieved, but as soon as Wen Po let go, the severe pain struck, and the pain tore his liver and lungs.

Liu Che walked around the hall impatiently, he was extremely conflicted in his heart, although he was happy but a little worried, if he gave birth to a daughter this time, alas... Liu Che didn't want to think about it anymore.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The sound of communication came from outside the palace gate, Liu Che was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”

In recent years, the queen mother's body is not as tough as before, her steps are slightly staggering, and she smiled when she heard this: "Mrs. Wei is about to give birth, how can the mourning family not come, this is the fourth child, and the mourning family is waiting to hug the emperor and grandson!" ”

Mother's words made Liu Che's heart sink again, how could a son not understand his mother's mood of hugging his grandson in a hurry, not to mention that the meaning of this grandson is not only a male heir to the next generation for them, but also a symbol of the continuation of the royal heirs and the stability of the country.

"Wow... Wow! A powerful cry suddenly came out of the inner room, which made Liu Che and the Queen Mother both shake up, and they were even more happy when they looked at each other, and then the palace people in the inner hall trotted over and preached loudly: "Madame is born, Madame is born!" ”

"Male or female?" The Queen Mother and Liu Che asked almost in unison, although they had a guess in their hearts when they heard the cry, but they still had to confirm it before they could feel at ease.

The palace people hurriedly congratulated: "Madame gave birth to a prince, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen Mother!" ”

"What? You repeat! Liu Che was surprised in disbelief, "You said that Mrs. Wei gave birth to a prince?" ”

"Indeed, it is the prince!" The palace man nodded and affirmed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei gave birth to a prince indeed!" ”

"Hahahaha! Prince! Good! Good! Liu Che was overjoyed, "Reward! Reward! A great reward for me! The queen mother was also full of joy, and she couldn't stop thinking about the ancestors who blessed the Han family.

"Spread my will, reward the people in Chang'an City with two buckets of corn per person, and announce to the world that Weiyang Palace is happy to win the prince!" Liu Che couldn't help but be overjoyed, full of spring breeze.
