Since Chen Li came back from Rouran, he has been very valued by Chen Xian, and he put him next to the general who protects the country, and has learned a lot of methods for commanding troops and arranging formations.

Outside of Nanzhao, although foreign countries have temporarily stopped, they are all ambitious, Taoguang is obscure, and they all want to take a bite of fat, and Chen Li is really a natural martial arts material, quite Chen Xian's style back then.

Chen Xian is very fond of Chen Li, so he has long planned to recognize him as his younger brother.

Before Chen Xian became the emperor, he had three elder sisters, all of whom married early as wives, and now they are also named Mrs. Decree, which can ensure their prosperity and wealth for a lifetime, and the other two elder brothers, a butcher and a blacksmith, are also outsiders. Their parents are deceased, and although there are many brothers and sisters, they are now different in dignity and inferiority, and they cannot enter the palace. I had to say hello to the emperor through the eunuch who delivered the message during the New Year's holidays.

One day, after lunch, Chen Xian called Chen Li to meet him and asked him about his recent martial arts practice, study, and military camp.

Chen Lida grew up in Chen Xian's general's mansion, and he was both respectful and close to Chen Xian, others were afraid of the emperor, but he could show calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"The minion greets Your Majesty and greets Your Majesty!" As soon as Chen Li entered the hall, he hurriedly knelt down and said.

Chen Xian looked at Chen Li, who was much stronger, and was very happy, and said to him: "Get up quickly!" It's just the two of us here, so there's no need to be polite! I summoned you this time because I want to ask you what you mean!"

"Your Majesty, please speak, the slave must obey in every way!" Chen Li said.

"Okay, don't be a slave, the widow wants to recognize you as a brother-in-law, I don't know if you are willing?" Chen Xian got up and walked over to Chen Li and asked.

When Chen Li heard the emperor say this, his heart was overjoyed, originally he was just a little beggar begging for food on the street, and there was no way to have any future. Since he was rescued, he has been studying and practicing martial arts, and now the emperor still recognizes himself as a righteous brother, which is like a dream.

Standing in place, he was too excited for a moment to react.

"What? Don't want to? If you really don't want to, the widow won't force you!" Chen Xian continued.

"Your Majesty loves the slave so much, the slave is ashamed!" Chen Li knelt down and said.

"Get up!" Chen Xian said to Chen Li.

"Your Majesty! Minions don't dare!"

"What? Do you still think you're a little beggar? Now your surname is Chen, and you are in the new military camp, and after the widow accepts you as a righteous brother, you are the widow's younger brother, don't be a 'slave'!" Chen Xian said as he tugged on Chen Li's shoulder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, slave...... The subordinate brother will bow down and die for His Majesty!" Chen Li kowtowed and said.

"Good! In the future, no more 'slaves' and 'slaves' are allowed to call themselves themselves, and the widow has already drawn up a holy decree, and this decree will be announced to you!" And he put a great seal on the decree.

From then on, everyone had to look up to Chen Li, the emperor's righteous brother, although he never had royal blood, but he was deeply valued by the emperor, and he was given an independent mansion in the imperial city, and there were not a few people in the new barracks who befriended him.

Chen Li is a good boy with affection and righteousness, and he knows that he can have today thanks to Xiao Mingyue's rescue, if it wasn't for Xiao Mingyue's uneven road at the beginning, how could he have today's status and status!

So he specially prepared a set of excellent study four treasures, and some ginseng bird's nest supplements, and brought these things to visit Xiao Mingyue.

Inside the Bright Moon Building.

Amber and Cai Wei go to the Imperial Garden to help with the flowers, and Qing Wen watches the little girls prune the peach blossom branches in the backyard.

Xiao Mingyue was sitting in the room reading a book, and a little palace maid who was guarding the door came to report, saying that Chen Li came to ask to see him, and Xiao Mingyue hurriedly called him to see him.

"Sister of the county lord, the slave meets the sister of the county lord!" Chen Li kowtowed to Xiao Mingyue and said.

"Hurry up, long time no see, you've grown a lot taller! No wonder Your Majesty always praises you, I heard that this time you went to Rouran, sent soldiers, and orderly!" Xiao Mingyue exclaimed.

"The county lord's sister has won the award, the slave just does things according to the rules, and he doesn't have any opinions, he is all following the cavalry general! Rely on the emperor!" Chen Li said with a smile.

"You're very good at talking, sit down! Try the horseshoe cake on the table, which was just made this morning!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Then he asked the little girl to serve tea to Chen Li.

Chen Li looked at the elegant and delicate palace room arranged by Xiao Mingyue, looked at the many books on the bookshelves in the room, and all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, which were even more inseparable than the emperor's imperial study, and he knew more and more in his heart that the emperor doted on Xiao Mingyue and loved him.

He put down the teacup in his hand and hurriedly said to Xiao Mingyue: "The county lord's sister's house is really strange, the slave looks at it, it is even better than the Yaochi Palace!"

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and said to Chen Li: "What does Yaochi Palace look like, have you ever seen it?" I'm just an ordinary place here, but I can't compare to it!"

The slave felt that the palace room of the county lord's sister was full of the atmosphere of an elegant scribe, as well as a chic and noble arrangement, and the fairy palace in the eyes of the slave was far less than here. The slave came to visit the county lord's sister, and he didn't know what to bring, and he didn't know what the county lord liked on weekdays, so he pretended to be smart and brought some four treasures of the study, as well as some ejiao and bird's nest supplements, and hoped that the county lord's sister would not dislike it!" Chen Li bowed and said.

"You kid, you really have a heart. It's just that I still have some bird's nest supplements in this palace, you can leave the four treasures of the study, and you can take the supplements back and eat them yourself!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"I can't help it, the county lord's sister has golden branches and jade leaves, and the body of ten thousand gold is worthy of eating these. How can a slave eat this? Even if you eat it, it will become a piece of chaff!" Chen Li continued.

How can you say that? Now you are no longer the little beggar you used to be, but a young man in the barracks! In the future, you will inevitably defend your family and the country, and if you are a general, remember not to underestimate yourself!" Xiao Mingyue admonished.

"Yes! Remembered, minions! It's just the hearts of these minions, the county lord's sister must accept it! It's not too early, the slave won't bother the county lord's sister to read and rest, and the slave will retire!" After Chen Li finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Then I'll send you to play, and come over to play when you want to come in the future!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.

"Minion, thank you, Sister Lord!"

Xiao Mingyue sent Chen Li out of the palace gate, and happened to meet Amber and Cai Wei coming back.

Chen Li respectfully greeted Cai Wei and Amber.

The two of them praised him a word, and then Chen left Mingyue Tower and returned to the new military camp.

Seeing Chen Li leave in a hurry, Amber smiled and said to Xiao Mingyue: "This brother Li has grown up now, and he is more sensible, and he is also a good boy who knows how to be grateful!"

Xiao Mingyue said: "This kid is good at everything, but as he grows up, he becomes more and more disciplined, and he knows the etiquette, I actually feel that he is separated from me, a little like a stranger." is only fifteen years old, but he has the calmness of twenty-five years old, and there is no impetuous youth! I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!"

"Now he is highly regarded by His Majesty, and His Majesty intends to cultivate him! I heard that His Majesty wants to treat him as his own brother! Cai Wei said.

"Your Majesty should have a child of his own, preferably a prince!" Xiao Mingyue turned around and said.

"Miss, you're worried about these things again, but the Imperial Doctor told you to take care of your body!" Amber admonished.

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

……

In the blink of an eye, Zhen Miaoxia's belly is also as big as a day, during the pregnancy, Zhen Miaoxia did not control her diet, often felt hungry, and ate and ate every day.

When she was about to give birth, the imperial doctor was worried that Zhen Miaoxia might have a difficult birth, so she told her to stop eating greasy food and make sure to walk around for two hours at a time, so that it would be better.

Where does Zhen Miaoxia have experience, the emperor does not allow her mother's family to enter the palace, there is only one midwife in Yuxiu Palace waiting at any time, although Erxi is also quite clever, but she is also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

After all, it was born prematurely, and it was a little difficult to give birth.

When it was almost midnight that night, Zhen Miaoxia's stomach hurt so badly that she turned over, and her amniotic water broke.

In the middle of the night, the imperial doctor who had been asking for Zhen Miaoxia's pulse on weekdays was not there, so he called Zhiru over.

"Go find a red egg, a penny of ginseng, two coins of fritillary, two coins of nitrate, frankincense, two soaphorns, and thirty cloves grains!"

The childish Ru commanded Erxi.

"Doctor, I don't know what this soap horn is used for?" Erxi asked.

"Swallow it raw, help the fetus! Go quickly!" Zhiru urged.

"Got it!" Erxi hurriedly ran out.

Zhen Miaoxia was sweating profusely, lying on the bed and unable to move, seeing that there was only an elderly midwife next to the bed, and there was a childish Confucian, but she couldn't help but be a little worried when she didn't see the imperial doctor who asked for her pulse in the past.

He shouted with difficulty: "Erxi? Two joys? What about Imperial Physician Gao? Go and inform Your Majesty that I'm going to give birth!"

"Hey, Niangniang, don't scream, save your strength to have children! Miss Erxi has already prepared her things!" The midwife comforted Zhen Miaoxia.

Zhen Miaoxia knew that Zhiru and Xiao Mingyue were old acquaintances, and they were born and died together with the party in the south, if they took the opportunity to frame themselves, then these nine months of hard work would be in vain.

"Imperial Doctor Confucian, this palace is pregnant with His Majesty's own flesh and blood, I hope you will do your best! If our mother and son are safe, this palace will be grateful!" Zhen Miaoxia looked at the childish ru vigilantly and said.

"Rest assured, Weichen will do his best to protect Niangniang and keep the dragon fetus foolproof!"

Erxi found a thing, and the childish asked Zhen Miaoxia to swallow the soap horn, but Zhen Miaoxia couldn't give birth, so she had to do it.

He also asked Erxi to take someone to boil ginseng, nitrate, and tribulus terrestris, and applied needles to Zhen Miaoxia's Taiyin acupoint to relieve her pain.

"My lord, do you want to feed my mother some food, so that I can have the strength to give birth!" The midwife said.

"No, her belly is so big, it's all because she doesn't pay attention to her diet on weekdays, and if she eats it, it will not only cause severe dystocia, but also be extremely dangerous!"

"The medicine is ready, and the scissors and hot water are ready!" Erxi said with two little palace maids.

"Let's get started! It's time to deliver the baby!" The young man said to the midwife.
