Yankang seven years, January

With a baby's cry, a trace of joy finally appeared on the face of the panicked Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff grinned, and hurriedly walked towards the apse, Qi Yue followed behind the Son of Heaven, and even more Buton congratulated, Liu Xi ignored him, and walked all the way to the door of the apse, the palace maid who was responsible for guarding here, saw the Son of Heaven who came, but hurriedly attached himself to salute, and then retreated to the side.

With the lesson of the last time, she no longer dares to stop the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven wants to see, that is his business, discord with etiquette, that is Zongzheng's business, what is she, the palace maid, worried about here?

However, she still shouted loudly to the Son of Heaven, so that the people in the palace were ready, Liu Xi of course did not care about her behavior, when Liu Xi walked into the hall with joy, the old woman in charge of the delivery struggled to hold a package, and walked in front of the Son of Heaven, before she could speak, Liu Xi smiled and took the child over, only to feel that his hand was sinking, the old woman smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, it is a prince, the grass people have delivered babies for so many years, and I have never seen it... Such a healthy child! ”

Liu Xi looked down, the little guy couldn't open his eyes at all, opened his mouth wide, and opened them all in one, which was extremely cute, but... Well, this child has some weight, Liu Xi has also seen the birth of the eldest princess, this baby looks three circles older than the eldest princess!! Good guy, when the princess was born, Liu Xi could drag her with one hand, and the handkerchief used by the woman could surround her, but now this kid, Liu Xi has to use two hands...

However, looking at the little life in his hand, Liu Xi couldn't help laughing.

Maybe it was his laughter that alarmed the child, the little guy cried violently, the cry was extraordinarily loud, resounding throughout the hall, Liu Xi was startled by him, at that moment, there seemed to be a ray of golden light outside the window, shining on the little guy's body, the little guy was covered in golden light, which was extremely dazzling, at that moment, Liu Xi was stunned, his eyes widened, staring at the little guy, and the old woman on the side was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

"Xiangrui! Auspicious! Congratulations to the country!! Congratulations to the country! Qi Yue reacted quickly, only to see him kneel on the ground suddenly, and then shouted, the surrounding palace maids all knelt together, Liu Xi took his attention, and the little guy no longer had that strong light, Liu Xi looked at Qi Yue behind him and asked, "You also saw it?" "Not only the slaves and maids, but they all saw that when the prince was born, his whole body flashed with golden light... Xiangrui, great auspicious! ”

"Oh? What about my body? ”

"Ahh The slave and maid almost forgot, just now, the country also shot a more intense light, so frightened that the slave and maid didn't dare to look directly, and could barely see His Highness clearly..."

"Hahahaha!" Liu Xi laughed, didn't say anything, hugged the child, and walked towards the queen, the palace maids just had time to cover the mattress for Empress Lu, Liu Xi broke in, Lu Ji was pale, but she was still strong, her face was relatively calm, she usually rode a horse and archery, and her body was also strong, Liu Xi held the little guy and sat on her right, "Hahaha, my Lu Ji, look at it, our son!" ”

Liu Xi leaned over so that Lu Ji could see the child clearly.

Lu Ji was a little excited, turned his head, and looked at his cute child, the little guy was too small, and he couldn't see his eyebrows, but Lu Ji could see that the child was as handsome as his father, and his body was still exceptionally strong, Lu Ji chuckled, the Son of Heaven was reluctant to hand over his son to the palace maid, so he carefully put him next to his mother, stretched out his hand, and held Lu Ji's hand.

"Thank you... I have a son, too..."

"Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, gibberish, you take good care of yourself... Don't get sick again... Little one, I'll take care of him myself. ”

"By the way, Fang Cai, I picked him up, and he shot out a thousand golden lights all over his body, which was particularly dazzling, and the eunuchs and palace maids were frightened... Hahaha... This son of mine will definitely have extraordinary deeds in the future, probably surpassing his father and ancestors! ”

"Really?"

"That's nature! Can I still lie to you? ”

Seeing the couple chatting happily, the old palace maid on the side wanted to stop talking, the queen had just given birth, she should be resting, Liu Xi naturally saw her thoughts, and no longer bothered, let the queen have a good rest, and left with the child, however, the palace maids did not allow the Son of Heaven to take the little guy out, the little guy was still too small, and it was too cold outside, so he couldn't take it out like this, Liu Xi was helpless, for the sake of the child's thoroughness, he still left the child.

After the Son of Heaven left, these palace maids dared to speak.

"I've been delivering babies for so many years and I've never seen anything like this... Able-bodied child..."

The old woman who was a little older on the side glanced at her disdainfully, "It's rare and weird, you haven't seen Emperor Xiaoxian's appearance when he was born..."

Liu Xi was in a good mood, rewarded a lot of eunuchs, the whole palace, is extraordinarily lively, the Son of Heaven smiled into the Houde Palace, not too long has passed, Princess Changling came with Princess Duyang, followed by Liu Di, the three walked in, Princess Changling and Liu Di are respectfully saluting to see each other, but the little Princess Duyang, who doesn't care about these at all, jumped into Liu Xi's arms.

"Oops, my little Du Yang is here!" , Liu Xi hugged his eldest daughter and couldn't help but kiss it, the little guy sat in his arms seriously, and asked solemnly: "Father?" Do I have a brother? ”

"Well, there it is! Very cute younger brother! ”

When Princess Du Yang heard this, her face was a little distressed, her eyes widened, and she asked a little aggrievedly: "Then don't you love me anymore?" ”

"Hahaha, of course not, you are all my children, in the future, you can take the little one to play!"

Du Yang nodded, Princess Changling saw that her face was still not good, laughed, and said, "Don't worry, you see, your second uncle is my brother, see if your second uncle is good to me?" ”

Du Yang's eyes widened and asked, "Then can I also treat my younger brother like my aunt?" ”

"Huh?" Changling didn't react a little.

Du Yang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Great, I see my aunt beating the second uncle every day, and in the future, I will also have a younger brother!" ”

Liu Xi cleared his throat and looked at Changling with a complicated expression, "Changling, you... Don't take her badly...", Princess Changling's face turned a little red, and nodded, but Liu Di on the side didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's actually just a joke, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Xi nodded, and Princess Changling said with a smile: "I heard that we have a nephew, so I came to visit..."

"Hahaha, yes, I'll take you to see it later, the little guy looks like Changling you, when you were born, you were just like him, it's too similar!"

Changling is very happy, it seems that this newborn nephew is very beautiful and cute!

Liu Xi looked at his sister and younger brother who were growing up in front of him, and thought about it in his heart, Liu Di should also be sealed, Changling, don't worry, wait for me to find a suitable husband for her, Liu Xi thought in his heart, but he didn't reveal it, chatted for a while, Liu Xi said: "Changling, you take the little guy to see your nephew, I have something to say, I want to talk to Erlang..."

Hearing Liu Xi's words, Changling nodded, pulled the little guy and left the Houde Palace.

Liu Di stood in front of his brother, for some reason, he was very afraid of his brother in his heart, on weekdays, he didn't dare to get close to him, his brother was obviously a very gentle and approachable person, but standing in front of him, it always made him breathless, at this moment, standing alone in front of his brother, Liu Di also lowered his head, occasionally glanced at his brother, Liu Xi was silent for a long time, and Liu Di was even more nervous.

"Erlang, you've grown up too... I just can't bear it anymore, I have to let you leave the palace and take control of a place alone..."

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Liu Di was stunned, raised his head, and looked dazed, he knew that there would be such a day, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly, Liu Xi slowly stood up and walked to his side, the hand of the Son of Heaven was on his shoulder, Liu Di trembled with fright, Liu Xi shook his head and said: "You are my brother, don't be afraid of me... The father is not there, but the eldest brother is the father... Over the years, I haven't been able to be around you all the time..."

"Brother... I..."

"Well, no more say..."

"I haven't been able to be by your side all these years, and I don't know why, you're so afraid of me... However, I still love you, just like Changling, you went to Taixue, the day you just went, do you remember the conflict with the two students? ”

"Hmm... I remember, they insulted my grandfather, and I couldn't help it..."

"One of them is the child of Zhang Shangshu's family, and the other is of the Xun family... They haven't been to Tai Academy since, do you know why? ”

"Because my brother ordered Taixue to sacrifice wine, he expelled them all..."

"No, because I killed the two of them..."Liu Xi smiled, but the words he said were chilling, Liu Di was frightened, raised his head, and looked at his brother blankly again, Liu Xi said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be so strict for such a trivial matter, but ah, no one in the world can bully my younger brother, if they dare to beat him, I dare to cut off their heads... Send it to their house..."

"After that, you encountered some troubles, all of which were solved, and even the sacrificial wine didn't dare to reprimand you... That's the benefit of killing two chickens..."

"Erlang... Now, I can't keep you with me anymore... You also know that your nephew was born, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just that there are still many traitors in the temple who are hostile to your brother, hehehe, over the years, I have been forbearing, watching these clowns perform in front of me, a few days ago, a group of liquidations, most of them still hid and refused to show their heads, if you are still in the palace, I am afraid that those people will not be able to sit still..."

"Either you're going to be forced to deal with me, or you're forcing me to kill each other..."

"However, I won't treat you badly, you say, anywhere outside of Luoyang, as long as you want, I will give it to you."

Liu Xi lowered his head and looked at Liu Di, Liu Di's eyes were different when he looked at him, he always felt that he was a forgotten child, except for Changling, no one cared, no one paid attention, but today, he only understood that it turned out that his brother had been silently protecting him, and even did not hesitate to kill for him, at this moment, Liu Di's heart was warm, and the family affection that he had been looking forward to for so long had always been by his side.

"Brother... It's okay, I can go anywhere, if my brother needs it, I'll go to Xizhou, to guard the frontier... I..."

", Xizhou? Xizhou is guarded by the North and South Army, where are you going to suffer and what are you doing?? Liu Xi frowned, reprimanded, and then, lowered his head and thought for a moment, before he said: "In this way, you go to Xuzhou, I will give you Xiapi, and you will be the king of Xiapi... Xuzhou is rich, the climate is mild, and it is also very peaceful... Also, I see that what you've written these days is pretty good... It's like a grandfather..."

"In this way, you go to Xuzhou, open a poetry platform, and I allow you to gather those poets, discuss literary affairs, and write articles... However, you have to keep a low profile, otherwise, the other princes and kings will come to trouble... Got it? ”

Liu Di was particularly excited, most of the princes and kings arrived in the fiefdom, they had to stay in the palace all day, they couldn't go out, they couldn't do anything, even if they went to make friends, they would be impeached and criticized by Xiangguo, he was the best writer on weekdays, but he didn't expect that his brother could give him such a gift!

"Thank you, brother! What time do I leave? ”

"Hehe, go see your aunt, goodbye to the queen, your nephew... By the way, father and mother, remember to go and worship too, and then you can leave Luoyang.."

"Respectfully!"
