Although Su Li gave birth smoothly, she still spent a lot of energy, and fell asleep after talking to Chu Huai'an for a while.

Chu Huaian stayed by the bedside and refused to leave, waiting for Qibao to come in with hot water, and personally took a handkerchief to help Su Li wipe her body.

"Master Hou, let the slave come!"

Qibao said with a red face, still not used to looking at Chu Huai'an and Su Li's intimacy.

Master Hou is too ashamed to look at the young lady!

"I'll come."

Chu Huai'an said in a deep voice, his tone was firm and unrefusable, Qibao didn't dare to say anything more, and he retreated.

Chu Huai'an carefully wiped Su Li's face, and then helped her wipe her hands.

It was winter again, there was no charcoal burning in the house, her hands were very cold, Chu Huai'an held her hands in the palm of his hand and rubbed them gently.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Su Li didn't sleep very well, and snorted softly, Chu Huai'an rubbed her head: "It's okay, let's sleep." ”

Su Li rubbed his palm, turned his head and fell asleep obediently, sleeping quietly and beautifully.

Chu Huai'an was fascinated, leaned over and kissed Su Li on the lips.

It's good that he and Ah Li have a daughter, and her daughter should look like her in the future.

Su Li slept for a day and a half, and when she woke up the next day, her brain was a little dazed, and Chu Huai'an fell asleep on the side of the bed, still holding her hand.

The corners of her lips hooked, and Su Li subconsciously reached out to touch her stomach, but only touched a piece of flatness.

"Chu Huai'an!"

Su Li whispered and sat up strongly, Chu Huai'an woke up and grabbed her hand for the first time: "What's wrong?" ”

"Where's the kid?"

Su Li asked, Chu Huai'an was not fully awake yet, he was stunned by the question, the two were staring at each other with big eyes, and Chu Liu walked in with the little girl in his arms.

"Mother!"

Su Li called, lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, Chu Liu hurriedly spoke: "Lie down, don't be in a hurry to get out of bed, you can't see the wind these days, let alone get cold!" ”

Chu Liu's tone was serious, and Chu Huaian immediately pressed Su Li to the bed, picked up the quilt and rolled Su Li tightly.

Su Li glared at him, and he glared back even more angrily: My mother said that you can't get cold!

Chu Liu took in the interaction between the young couple, and his heart was also happy.

"Ah Li, just bear with it these days, it's all like this, my mother is all for your good."

As he spoke, Chu Liu hugged the little girl to the bed.

The child was very small, and was tightly wrapped in a small bright red quilt, revealing only a small red face.

The child was just born a day, and his little face was still wrinkled, and there was only a handful of fetal hair on the top of his head, which did not look very good.

"How...... A little ugly? ”

Su Li asked hesitantly, even if this was her biological flesh and blood, she couldn't praise her good looks against her will.

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Chu Huai'an and Chu Liu immediately became anxious.

"What do you say! My granddaughter is so good-looking! ”

"Nonsense! How can the daughter you give birth to be ugly! ”

“……”

Su Li silently swallowed the words behind her.

"It's like this when the child is born, and it will be good if it grows in two days." Chu Liu was relieved, Chu Huai'an directly stiffened his face, and said sullenly: "The daughter you gave birth to, no one is allowed to say that it is not good-looking!" ”

“……”

Master Hou, are you not allowing others to tell the truth?

The corners of Su Li's lips twitched, Chu Liu squeezed Chu Huai'an aside, and carefully put the little girl into Su Li's arms: "The child is hungry, Ah Li, you feed her milk first, and then let the nurse teach you how to promote milk after a while." ”

The child was very small, her body was soft, and she was suddenly stuffed into her arms, and Su Li froze there and didn't dare to move, for fear that if she moved a little bigger, she would hurt her.

The child was indeed hungry, and as soon as he arrived in Su Li's arms, he moved his little head to look for food, but he didn't find it for a while, his little mouth deflated, and he cried out with a wow.

Mother and daughter connected hearts, as soon as the child cried, Su Li's heart immediately ached, and she immediately had no teacher, holding the child and gently patting her back.

Chu Liu nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and glanced at Chu Huai'an: "Sincerely, go out with me!" ”

"Why?"

Chu Huai'an asked as a matter of course, Su Li and his daughter are here, why did he leave?

"Ah Li wants to feed the child, what are you doing here?"

"I'm guarding her!"

Chu Huai'an replied without hesitation, Su Li was stunned, remembering that Chu Huai'an came to Hudi to pick her up at that time, and he had guarded her like this.

He was frightened, afraid that if he was not careful, she would disappear.

"What do you like to be a big man staying here, do you know these things? You ......"

Chu Liu's anger was not light, she knew that Chu Huai'an was very fond of Su Li, but no matter how much she spoiled her, she didn't have this favorite method! Let others know that he is a big man serving Su Li's confinement child, how can he raise his head in Beijing in the future?

The more Chu Liu thought about it, the more he felt that it was not good, and he was about to take the opportunity to say it well, but he heard Chu Huai'an order in a deep voice: "Qibao, invite the nurse in!" ”

"What are you going to do?"

Chu Liu asked vigilantly, Chu Huai'an ignored her, and after the nurse came in, she carefully inquired about promoting milk and Su Li's body recuperation.

The nurse is one of the best in Beijing, but she has never been interrogated by a man in such detail, and her old face can't help but blush.

"Master Hou, the slave family has served many wives of big families before, and it is absolutely proper to do things, you are a man, and it is inconvenient for me to talk to you too much about many things."

The nurse said euphemistically, Chu Liu's face had sunk, but she heard Chu Huai'an say seriously: "I asked you these things, just to let you say it in detail, if you feel embarrassed and don't want to say it, I can find someone else!" ”

This nurse was carefully selected by the Chu Liu clan for several months, and the reward was naturally quite generous, as soon as she heard that this fat girl was about to fly, the nurse was shocked, and she stammered when she spoke: "Master Hou, you are ...... What does this mean? ”

"It's Benhou's business to give his wife milk, you just need to teach Benhou."

Nurse: "......"

The wind is a little strong, what were you talking about just now?

Chu Liu: "......"

Rebel, I'm afraid you're going to me to death!

Su Li: "......"

Although I don't know what is going on with milk promotion, I always feel that Master Hou is weird after you get involved in this.

Although Su Li and Chu Liu unanimously opposed Chu Huai'an's intervention in this matter, the nurse quickly rebelled under Chu Huai'an's coercion and temptation, so the final opposition was invalid.

Chu Liu had to give the nurse a hush money to protect Chu Huai'an's reputation.

However, to the good fortune of Chu Liu and Su Li, Su Li's body has been recuperating well in the past few months, so she has a lot of milk.

A few days later, the little girl's wrinkled little face was full, tender and shiny, and it was very cute when wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Su Li hugged the little girl and couldn't put it down, she was afraid that Chu Huai'an would turn over and press the child at night, so she drove Chu Huai'an directly to the study to sleep, Chu Huai'an refused, and she was aggrieved and made a bunk in the house, and her face was full of grievances during the day.

Chu Liu loved his little granddaughter very much, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Su Li's decision, so he only asked Qibao to add more beds and quilts to Hou Ye.

Xiaoyaohou, who was born with a golden spoon, completely fell out of favor after the birth of the pearl in his palm.

On the day of the little girl's first birthday, the Xiaoyao Mansion feasted the guests, and the banquet was held for three days and three nights, which was extremely lively.

Not only that, but when today's son also brought the important ministers of the court to come in person, he gave a rich reward, and also gave the little girl the name Chu Yue'an, which means a happy and peaceful life.

Xiaoyaohou, who learned about this, not only did not thank him, but also blackened his face, why did his daughter let someone else name him? Isn't he gasping for breath when he's a father?

It is said that when today's son was not angry at all, he only smiled and asked people to hand a secret letter to Xiaoyaohou.

There are only two sentences in the secret decree: My son has recognized you as a father, and it is not a loss for me to give your daughter a name.

The son is what you don't want, it's all about Lao Tzu!

Chu Huai'an pinched the secret decree and snorted coldly, but he did not refute Chu Lingzhao's face in public.

This person is not kind to be an emperor, and the name he chose is not bad!

The name given by the Son of Heaven is already a great favor, and Lu Xiao, the protector of the country, Lu Ji, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Gu Yuanfeng, the current prime minister, Chu Lingxi, the king of Huaiyang, and Yue Yan, the lord of Renxian County, all gave heavy gifts to the little girl.

After that day, everyone in the world knew that the eldest lady of the Marquis of Xiaoyao Mansion was a pearl that was loved by thousands of people, and she didn't know what kind of fairy figure she would need to marry in the future.

Hearing these discussions, the Marquis of Xiaoyao sharpened his knife Huo Huo: Hehe, immortals, the Jade Emperor has no way!

On the day of the first birthday, according to the old practice of Yuanzhao, the little girl wanted to draw lots, and the people in the house prepared a room of auspicious things early, and the little girl lay on the ground and looked around, and finally hugged the Chugua in the corner.

At that time, Chu Gua had officially changed his name to Chu Qian, because he had a yin and yang face, and his subordinates brought him a small hat, black gauze blocked his face, and he was free to play with his little short legs in the corner and gnawing pig's trotters.

After being hugged by the little girl, Chu Gua was startled, and the braised pig's trotters that were gnawed fell to the ground, and rolled to the feet of the Son of Heaven, making the bright yellow boots of the Son of Heaven stained with a lot of greasy.

The crowd watching the excitement paused, and they all looked at Chu Lingzhao with bated breath.

The old ministers in the court all know that since the rebellion of the An family and the death of the queen mother, the character of the current saint has become strange and elusive.

The atmosphere was stiff and dull, so dull that people were a little breathless, Su Li just wanted to ask his subordinates to carry Chu Gua over, Chu Lingzhao suddenly got up, and directly stepped forward to take Chu Gua into his arms.

"I'm a little tired, go to the guest room to rest for a while, Zhu Qing will take care of yourself!"

After speaking, Chu Lingzhao left everyone looking at each other and left, Su Li wanted to follow, but Chu Huai'an grabbed his wrist.

"Tiger poison does not eat children."

Chu Huai'an whispered, shaking his head at Su Li.

In fact, Chu Lingzhao promised to be raised by Su Li to raise Chu Gua, which means that he had spared Chu Gua's life in his heart, how could he go back on his word and ask for Chu Gua's life now?

Su Li pursed her lips and relaxed her body after a while.

In any case, Chu Lingzhao is Chu Gua's biological father, and she has no power to prevent their father and son from being alone.

The atmosphere in the front hall became warm again, and Chu Lingzhao strode to the back garden of the Hou Mansion with Chu Gua.

The royal guards quickly dispersed in all directions, clearing the surrounding area to ensure that no maids would accidentally break in.

Chu Gua was grabbed by the belt of his trousers and carried without crying, and his small mouth was chirping to reminisce about the taste of braised pig's trotters just now, and his little hands and calves swayed and swayed, but he was very bold.

Chu Lingxi carried him to a gazebo in the back garden before stopping, raised his big hand, and put Chu Gua on the big stone table.

It was already the middle of winter, the stone table was very cold, Chu Gua sat unsteadily, fell back, and was pulled up by Chu Lingzhao by the waistband of his pants, and lifted the hat on his head.

The hat fell to the ground, and Chu Gua's yin and yang face was fully revealed, and there was no change from when he was a child.

Chu Lingzhao stared at him with wide eyes, unable to tell what he felt in his heart.

The scar on Su Li's face was inexplicably healed, and Chu Huai'an claimed that Yue Yan had cured it with a medicine called the Flower of the Afterlife, but Chu Lingzhao knew that things were not as simple as the legend said, and there was something in it that outsiders didn't know.

Before the hat was taken off, Chu Lingzhao had a moment in his heart hoping that Chu Gua could also be cured like Su Li, like other normal children, without a yin and yang face and no six fingers.

But after the hat was taken off, he found that Chu Gua was still the same as before, and he felt that it should be so.

Su Bangyue lived up to his feelings, there was a difference between what he said and what he said, Chu Gua would become like this, all of them inherited Su Bangyue's sins.

It was a sin committed by his own mother, and he deserved to pay for her.

Be...... You're welcome!

Chu Lingzhao silently recited it twice in his heart, and saw that the corners of Chu Gua's mouth were all greasy, so he hesitated for a while, and raised his hand to help him wipe it twice.

"Fine ...... Thin. ”

Thank you!

Chu Gua smirked and said that he could now speak some simple words.

Su Li took him very well, and in the past few months of pregnancy, she also put Chu Gua in the main courtyard and told him to speak and recognize some simple words.

After having a little girl, Chu Liu's heart is also much softer, and there is no longer so much prejudice against Chu Gua, after the subordinates in the house were rectified, no one dared to bully Chu Gua in private, so Chu Gua has gained weight again, his little face is chubby, and he wears thick clothes in winter, and people can be said to be round.

"Can you speak?"

Chu Lingzhao was a little surprised, when An Ruoshang gave birth to Chu Chen, he had just ascended the throne not long ago, so Chu Chen was nearly three years old when Chu Gua was born, but because he was shocked in the mother's womb, Chu Chen grew up relatively slowly.

After Chu Chen returned to the palace, there were imperial doctors from the entire Tai Hospital to recuperate for him, he quickly grew up, and then talked and walked, others exaggerated His Royal Highness's talent and intelligence, only Chu Lingzhao knew what was going on behind this.

During the time when Chu Chen learned to speak, it was the time when the Yuanzhao court was rectifying and Chu Huai'an was recovering Hudi, Chu Lingzhao was busy from morning to night, and the folds were piled up into a mountain, as if there was no end in sight.

When he turned around, Chu Chen could already run in front of him and call his father clearly in his mouth.

He didn't know that children could grow up so fast, as if in the blink of an eye, they would grow a lot.

Now that he sees Chu Gua babbling, he has a little sense of being a father.

"Shrink?"

Chu Gua tilted his head and couldn't understand the meaning of Chu Lingzhao's words just now.

His eyes were pure and ignorant, his eyes were black and white, and he didn't look like Su Wanyue at all.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Lingzhao couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch Chu Gua's chubby cheek.

"Hey, hey."

Chu Gua smirked again, his eyes bent into a slit, Chu Lingzhao couldn't help but follow the corners of his lips up, but the next moment he suddenly froze.

In the eyes of the black half of Chu Gua's face, Chu Lingzhao clearly saw Su Wanyue's face!

That face had long been distorted and hideous, her eyes were vicious, she wanted to pounce with her teeth and claws, and Chu Lingzhao even heard her terrible screams in her ears!

Chu Lingzhao got up, his heart skipped a beat, and Chu Gua was waved by him and lay on his back on the table, his expression was dazed, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly got angry.

Suddenly seeing Su Bangyue, Chu Lingzhao subconsciously flashed a trace of panic in his heart, and after reacting, he became angry again.

He is the king of a country, a supreme being above tens of thousands of people, why should he panic? Could he still be afraid of a woman who is already dead?!

His heart was filled with anger, Chu Lingzhao leaned over, pressed Chu Gua's neck, and stared straight at his eyes.

"I want to see if you are a human or a ghost!"

Chu Lingzhao looked at it seriously, but there were only dark pupils and his own reflection left in that eye, and nothing else.

His emotions were out of control, he lost the strength in his hands, and Chu Gua was out of breath, his face was red, and Chu Gua couldn't help but hum in a low voice.

After making sure that Chu Gua couldn't see anything else in his eyes, Chu Lingzhao finally let go of him and took two steps back.

Just now, there were only two people in the entire pavilion, and he was the only one who saw the reflection in Chu Gua's eyes, and no one could help him corroborate it, but Chu Lingzhao was very sure that the scene just now was not his hallucination.

He didn't drink, and his spirit was very good today, so he wouldn't be mistaken, just now he really saw Su Bangyue from Chu Gua's eyes!

There was a rumor in the room that the soul of a person with a yin and yang face is the medium connecting the underworld and the yang world, and a person born with six fingers also has a strange ability in his body.

Before today, Chu Lingzhao didn't believe such rumors, but now, he believes seventy percent!

"Someone!"

Chu Lingzhao ordered, and two secret guards quietly appeared behind him.

Chu Lingzhao looked at Chu Gua, this is still a child, he doesn't know how to walk, he can't even speak, if he wants to kill him, it will be as easy as crushing an ant to death.

But now this child's eyes are clear, and there is no darkness or evil.

"Your Majesty?"

The secret guard urged, and Chu Gua immediately followed: "Your Majesty!" ”

He learned these two words very well, pronounced them clearly, crisp and childish.

Originally, he should have called him his father.

Chu Lingzhao thought, and after all, he only said: "It's okay." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Chu Gua anymore, turned around and strode away.

It didn't take long for Su Xun to jump down from the courtyard wall in the back garden, run into the pavilion, and take Chu Gua into his arms.

As soon as he saw him, Chu Gua immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Uncle...... Tweeted! ”

Chu Gua shouted vaguely, Su Xun kissed him and helped him put the hat back on: "Little Guagua, is it cold?" Just been held by our majesty, are you afraid? ”

Chu Gua didn't know to be scared now, and after putting on the hat, he grabbed the black yarn and hid from Su Xun.

"Fool!"

Su Xun nodded on the tip of his nose and carried him to the backyard, and the next person immediately brought a hot meal.

After sending off the guests, Su Li was a little tired, the little girl was already so tired that she fell asleep, Su Li asked Qibao to take the little girl back to sleep, and she followed Chu Huai'an to the backyard, Su Xun told them what happened in the back garden today, Su Li frowned when she heard it.

The royal secret guard's martial arts are strong, Su Xun can't get too close, he only saw Chu Lingzhao's movements from a distance, but he didn't know what happened, Su Li's uneasiness reached its peak after hearing Chu Lingzhao call two secret guards.

Chu Gua is just a child, and the Hou Mansion is now very heavily guarded, what happened to make Chu Lingzhao summon the secret guard?

Su Xun didn't know the relationship between Chu Gua and Chu Lingzhao, and speculated tentatively: "Isn't it that Your Majesty heard that someone chewed the root of his tongue and felt that Gua Gua had an ominous and unlucky life?" ”

"Not what you think."

Su Li shook his head to deny Su Xun's speculation, Chu Huai'an gave Su Xun a look and asked him to leave first, and waited for the room to be quiet before saying, "Since he has entered the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, as long as I live for a day, he should be safe." ”

He didn't guarantee that Chu Lingzhao wouldn't have murderous intent towards Chu Gua halfway, but he could guarantee that he would let Chu Gua grow up safe and sound.

"Chu Huai'an, did I do something wrong in this matter?"

Su Li asked suspiciously, suddenly feeling very confused.

At the beginning, Su Bangyue deserved it, Chu Gua's misfortune had nothing to do with Su Li, Su Li could ignore him at all, but she insisted on keeping him.

If it affects the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion in the future, it will affect Chu Huaian and the child......

"Nope." Chu Huaian held Su Li's hand and said firmly: "You're not wrong!" He's just a kid, and you're saving an innocent life! ”

No matter what kind of evil things Su Bangyue did, Chu Gua was always innocent.

That night, before the palace gate was locked, the palace sent a holy decree to the Xiaoyao Mansion.

Because of the appearance of Chu Qian, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, he was born with six fingers, and according to the order of the Son of Heaven, he must always wear a mask in the future, and he must not show his true face, and he will not be allowed to enter the court as an official in this life, and he will not be allowed to enter the palace, and he will not inherit the title of Marquis of Xiaoyao, and he will not intermarry with the imperial family!

This holy decree nailed Chu Gua's future to death, although he was known as the eldest son of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, he did not have the right to inherit the title, he could not enter the court as an official, and he could only be an idler in his life.

Su Li felt unjust for Chu Gua in her heart, but her reason was very clear, Chu Ling Zhao was willing to leave Chu Gua alive, which was already considered to be benevolent and righteous.

"Chu Huai'an, what do you think Guagua will do in the future?"

"If he likes, I used to think about being a street lantern vendor."

"What if His Majesty doesn't let him engage in business in the future?"

He has the most noble and powerful father in the world, but this father can decide his life and death and limit everything about him.

"The Xiaoyao Mansion has money, and he can't starve to death."

"......"

Before Su Li finished speaking, Chu Huai'an covered her lips: "Ah Li, this world will never be as you wish, nor will it be as he wishes, you have to believe that he will learn to accept all the injustices of this world." ”

No one can get what they want in everything, learn to let go, learn to be content and happy, this is the greatest fulfillment of life.

After a kiss, both of them were unstable, especially a certain Hou who had been holding back for several months, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and he was about to eat meat, and the little girl who had slept for a long time in the afternoon suddenly cried.

"Hmm...... An An is hungry! ”

Su Li struggled to say, the man pressed her, panting and said, "I'll listen to it if I call again." ”

"An An is crying......"

The man ignored it and whispered in her ear: "Ah Li, I also have an identity in my name." ”
