When Xu Qilin hurried back to Chang'an, Xiao Zhao had already made arrangements to wait for Sister A.

Two reliable servants who have been in the Xu family for many years entered the palace and took care of them 24 hours a day. Zheng Niangzi, whose child is more than a year old, will also enter the palace regularly with Xiao Zhao to point out precautions during pregnancy.

Xiao Zhao is still sensible, and the summer vacation in the villa has been canceled, just for Sister A's smooth pregnancy and being able to give birth to the baby safely.

Xiao Zhao also knew about Xu Qilin's worries, so he naturally made this decision without much talk.

After resting for the night, Xu Qilin took the sand table that he had made the next day and entered the palace to meet His Majesty Li Er.

I wanted to bring Ah Ke back to take care of my sister, but Xiao Ye was really a little unreliable, and she didn't want to enter the palace again. Xu Qilin had no choice but to take Daya and let her see the complexions of Sister A and others.

Public first and then private, although Xu Qilin wanted to see Sister in a hurry, he still had to let the guards report before he could enter the palace. After all, he is no longer a twelve-year-old boy, and he can no longer be casual in the palace.

His Majesty Li Er's summons was very fast, and Xu Qilin immediately asked people to carry them onto the sand table and rushed to the Qianqiu Palace.

Entering the hall to pay a visit, Xu Qilin found that His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood, and I don't know if it was because he wanted to add a prince and princess.

In fact, His Majesty Li Er was indeed happy because of this.

It's been seven or eight years, Xincheng is the youngest princess, and His Majesty Li Er has many beauties in the harem, but there are no heirs. And this time, there was suddenly, wouldn't it prove that he was in good health and still majestic?

Not only are the facts proving it, but His Majesty Li Er himself has also felt the change.

After thinking about it carefully, he thought that it was the health care prescription given by Xu Qilin that worked. What kind of health tea, what kind of Xiaoyao pill, and even the meditation mantra and the pure heart mantra also made his liver fire drop a lot.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er thinks that Xu Qilin doesn't have this ability, and it is Lu Yu's ability to do so. Taoist health preservation, in addition to alchemy, there is indeed a set, and there are many people who can enjoy a long life.

As an emperor, he is already rich all over the world, and good health and longevity are naturally the highest pursuits. As for immortality, it can only be an illusory dream.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er felt that he could live for another five hundred years, at least the life extension was certain. Thank you Lu Yu and thank Xu Qilin......

"Make the sand table so quickly, and return to Chang'an so quickly, loyalty." His Majesty Li Er really thought that Xu Qilin was for the sand table, but he didn't know that he had already known about Sister A's pregnancy, so he hurried back.

Xu Qilin immediately climbed up the pole and said, "Your Majesty has a life, how dare Weichen delay?" As he spoke, he asked the palace people to set up the sand table, lifted off the covered linen, and invited His Majesty Li Er to come forward and watch.

His Majesty Li Er walked closer, looked at it intently, and couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

The three-dimensional sand table, the mountains, rivers and roads are unobstructed, which is much stronger than the ghost drawing of the flat map.

Xu Qilin also asked the carpenter to make a few models of small boats, which he picked up and placed in the positions of Denglai and Gutang.

"Sea Freight?!" His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "The crusade against Goguryeo, the naval army is indeed of great use. ”

Xu Qilin pushed the boat to Juehua Island and said, "If you transport grain and grass materials by sea, you can build a warehouse on this island. Then, it can be transported to the coast of Liaodong for the use of our army. ”

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand, and asked, "This is the Liaohe?" ”

Xu Qilin nodded yes and said, "The Sui army had a great defeat in the Liaohe. When the Liao River rises sharply, it is not easy to cross, and there are many swamps, and it is difficult for people to walk. ”

After speaking, Xu Qilin used his fingers to row on the coastal road of the West Liaoning Corridor, "Although this road is the most convenient, there is alluvial tide from time to time, and it is also easy to become a quagmire. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "I already know this, and I will never repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui. ”

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "Now Jiuying is decided, only this corner, the heir is strong because of the prosperity of the horses, and the ministers are guided by the conquest, and the funeral is at the beginning. ”

Don't mind, you have done everything, so that the offspring will be arrogant and lascivious, corrupt and degenerate?

Xu Qilin scratched his head, and he didn't know how to pour cold water to dispel His Majesty Li Er's ambitions, so he could only praise: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, Goguryeo is really a big disaster, and Liaodong must be firmly in the hands of my Tang Dynasty in order to be worry-free in future generations." ”

The northeast and northwest are both the border troubles of the Central Plains Dynasty, but the strange thing is that although the northwest is threatened, it cannot overthrow the dynasty, but the northeast is a big trouble. The Jin and Qing Dynasty both raised troops from the northeast and included the Central Plains.

Therefore, destroying Goguryeo is still secondary, and recovering Liaodong is what Xu Qilin cares about.

His Majesty Li Er pondered in front of the sand table, and after a while, he remembered something, turned his head and said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Well, there's nothing else, let's go to Bingxia Palace to see Sister!" ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly bowed and bowed, and retreated.

Led by the palace people, with new toys, Xu Qilin went straight to Bingxia Palace. Regarding Sister A's safety, in addition to worrying that there will be small accidents, like other palace fighting scenes where intrigue and competition for favor are harmful, Xu Qilin does not think that it will happen.

The main reason is the strength of His Majesty Li Er, and no one in the harem dares to do this. In the period of the scumbag Li Zhi, messy things happened repeatedly.

What Wu Meiniang strangled her own daughter, what poisoned her niece, etc., it seems that she did it, and no one else has the courage to be so ruthless.

Of course, just in case, you still have to do it. Sending one's own servants into the palace is based on this consideration.

When I came to Bingxia Palace, I saw Xu Hui sitting in the pavilion reading a book. The wind was warm, and the servants were watching over it.

After reading a few pages of the book, Xu Hui reached out to cover his mouth, yawned, and the feeling of sleepiness came up again.

As soon as he turned his head and saw his little brother coming in a hurry, Xu Hui sat down again, smiling and staring, ready to have a good chat with his little brother.

Xu Qilin walked closer, looked at Sister A, and said with a smile: "Sister, the little brother has come back to see you." ”

Xu Hui smiled, and knew that he didn't go back after getting the news, but there were outsiders around her, so she didn't say anything, motioned for Xu Qilin to sit down, turned her head and waved away the person next to her.

"I didn't expect the little brother's observation of his face to be so powerful-" Xu Hui made a joke and said, "That's what Xiao Zhao said, interesting, right?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I haven't been home yet, and I felt that Sister Ah was a little strange at the time, but it wasn't until I came to Xin'an that I remembered what my teacher taught, and I wasn't very sure." ”

Xu Hui nodded with a smile and said, "Now that most of your worries can be removed, don't talk nonsense in the future." ”

Xu Qilin didn't say anything, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Only when I give birth to a child safely, can my heart be put down." The younger brother is outside, and he can't take care of everything, so Sister must take care of herself. ”

"Although you can do business with peace of mind, Sister has so many people waiting, it will definitely be fine."

Xu Hui was relieved, gently pulled the colorful jade beads on his wrist, and said faintly: "I know that you and Xiao Zhao don't like the constraints in the palace, and they also think that Sister Ah is lonely. In fact, this is not the case, Sister Ah is still very alive in the palace. ”

As he spoke, Xu Hui smiled and pointed to the books on the stone table, "Sister likes to read, and the royal collection of books is probably the largest in the world." Well, that's called each other! ”

Xu Qilin pursed the corners of his mouth, noncommittal, but still said with a smile: "Sister thinks it's good to be happy, there is me and my eldest brother at home to take care of, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Forget it." Xu Hui shook his head with a smile and said, "If the housekeeper says, Meng Wei is better than him." Xiao Zhao has also grown up, and I think she is also very good. ”

The sister and brother chatted, and Xu Qilin secretly contacted Daya to confirm that Xu Hui was all right, and then put his mind at ease.

But there is another thing, Xu Qilin wants to see his son, but he knows that it seems inappropriate to go directly to Jinyang Palace. I was about to send the palace people to invite them under the pretext of sending toys, but the son and the new city came.

Xu Hui didn't know that the younger brother had anything else, so he explained with a smile on the side: "The two princesses come to see me every day, and they are more punctual than asking Your Majesty for peace." ”

Good boy, I came to see you in vain, and I may be able to save your life.

got up to greet the two princesses, the son-in-law was more upright, Xincheng was still a child, and when he saw his brother-in-law, he asked what fun he brought.

Xu Qilin hurriedly asked the palace people to bring the three-wheeled cart he brought and teach Xincheng how to sit on it and ride. Xincheng immediately grasped the essentials, laughing and riding the car to play.

"Is this car only suitable for playing in the new city?" The son-in-law is not greedy, but slightly dissatisfied, favoring one over the other, it seems that Xu Qilin doesn't take her seriously.

Xu Qilin smiled, asked the palace people to bring a box, opened it, took out the glass ball and handed it to his son, "This is a new product, there are only three in total, for you and Xincheng, as well as Sister A." ”

The son took the glass ball and found that there was something inside, but when he looked closely, it was a small house, and there was a child and a snowman outside.

Xu Qilin took the other one, shook it vigorously, and smiled for his son to see, "It's snowing!" ”

Snowflakes flying in the sky filled the space of the glass ball, and the small house and the villain immediately came to life, and they looked at it carefully as if they were there.

The son shook the glass ball in his hand vigorously, and then grinned and giggled to take a closer look.

Xu Qilin handed the glass ball in his hand to Sister A, "It's just a plaything, Sister Boa is happy." ”

Xu Hui smiled and nodded, and took it to play with it, and also felt that it was novel and interesting.

Xu Qilin secretly moved the soul detention order to his right eye and observed his son. He seldom does this, especially during the day, and observes the living.

Sure enough, as Daya said, there was something like mist on his forehead between his eyebrows, not pitch black, but pale black.

Xu Qilin frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what do you feel uncomfortable about recently?" ”

The son was having fun, Wen Yu turned his head to look at Xu Qilin, showed a strange expression, and said, "No, I think it's good." ”

"It's not necessarily sick, it's doom." Daya reminded.

Xu Qilin felt that this was not easy to do, but in the mood of giving it a try, he still smiled and said: "The family teacher has passed on a certain method of diagnosing the pulse, and Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't mind having a certain diagnosis, right?" ”

The son blinked, a little hesitant.

"I have already diagnosed Sister A, and it is quite effective!" Xu Qilin boasted.

The son smiled and said, "What does the pulse say is effective, and it is not to worship God and ask for a Bodhisattva." With that, she sat down and held out her hand, "Come, try your magic of pulse-diagnosis." ”

Xu Qilin was calm, but he summoned the soul to his upper body, stretched out three fingers and put them on his son's wrist. I felt my son's hand do it, and when I looked up, I found that my son's face seemed to be a little red.

After collecting his mind, Xu Qilin didn't think much about it, and concentrated on diagnosing the pulse, but after a long time, he helplessly found that the pulse was normal, and there was no problem at all.

"Give her your beads!" Daya sighed, "Maybe I can save her life!" ”

Xu Qilin's face was solemn, he suddenly frowned, and suddenly squinted, which made his son a little nervous, and Xu Hui also frowned slightly, obviously a little worried.

"What? Is there really anything wrong? The son of the son smiled, "Or is the technique of diagnosing the pulse not working?" ”

Xu Qilin laughed twice, let go of his fingers, removed the beads, put them on his son's wrist, and said to the somewhat stunned son: "This is a spiritual thing, it has the effect of turning evil into good fortune, please wear it with Her Royal Highness the princess, and don't take it off." ”

The son's face seemed to be red again, he looked down at the beads, plucked them one by one with his fingers, and said, "You seem to have been wearing it for three or four years—"

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I mean that you are always running outside, it should be better to wear it, right?" ”

"I'm hard." Xu Qilin said with a smile: "As long as Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't dislike it, it's done." ”

The son looked up at Xu Qilin, smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Xincheng rode the car around, jumped out of the car and ran over, staring at the glass ball in Xu Hui's hand with big eyes, and asked, "Xu Chongrong, what is this?" ”

Xu Hui shook the glass ball, let Xincheng see the snowy scenery, and said with a smile: "It's fun, right?" There is another one in that box, which was given to you by Qi Lin. ”

Xincheng stared at the novelty, and when he heard that he had his own, he immediately shouted "Thank you, uncle", ran over and took it out and shook it, raised it in front of his eyes and looked at it, giggling non-stop.

Xu Qilin smiled and teased his son: "Why don't you call me uncle?" The last time we met, I thought it was strange! ”

The son bit his lower lip, the flush on his face had not disappeared, but he turned his head and said nothing, and secretly scolded the sister in his heart: Didn't you say that you are not allowed to call your uncle, why can't you change it?

Xu Hui felt that his son's performance today was a little strange, but he couldn't say why, so he smiled and said, "It's not easy to be an uncle, there will be a little doll to annoy you next year." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I can enter the palace a few times, it's true that I am annoyed by Sister A." ”

Xu Hui smiled disapprerovingly, even full of happiness, and asked instead: "Can you stay for a few days when you come back, aren't you busy with business outside?" ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said: "Maybe we will leave the day after tomorrow, Xin'an will deal with it, and I will go to Yangzhou to see the shipbuilding work." ”

The son looked at Xu Qilin and didn't say anything. After all, people still have to struggle, and although they have fine clothes and food, they are not free.
