On August 27, Wei Yun gave birth to a son as she wished.

In the morning, Wei Yun's stomach began to hurt, and Li Ji pedaled over and kept by his side. Xuan Chen sent someone to ask, and the "politeness" like a thief rushed back, and even Bi was angry. At night, Li Ji stayed by the bedside, watching Wei Yun holding the child, he was suspicious, and he had a bold idea, so he immediately pressed on. About half of the children born in the morning, the letter was sent to the barracks early, and Ye Chu never came back.

The next day, after it was time for the next dynasty, Ye Chu returned to his house and went directly to Xuan Chen's courtyard.

The two of them had breakfast, and they didn't say anything about it, and they didn't talk about that topic. Li Ji heard that Ye Chu was coming back, and immediately sent someone to invite him.

Ye Chu glanced at Xuan Chen and whispered, "Your yard is not too unstable, and there is wind leaking everywhere." ”

"Come on, tell your mother to go over when you're done. ”

"Yes. ”

"Nothing, how can you look at the prison?"

"I have to leave on the third day of the next month, so I pack up. ”

"So fast, isn't it going to be the middle of the year?"

"It's a little urgent," Ye Chu hurriedly ate a few more mouthfuls of porridge, "I'm over, you eat more." ”

"Why did Master Hou leave?" Lian Bi entered the house.

Mother called. ”

"Alas. ”

"What are you sighing for?"

"Madame doesn't worry about herself at all. ”

Ye Chu entered the house unhurriedly, but he didn't know that Li Ji was also there.

"Wei Yun was unwell after giving birth, so I took her here, and I took care of her first. ”

"Mother is thoughtful. ”

Li Ji gestured to Mama He, and Mama He took the child from the nurse's hand to Ye Chu.

"Look at the kids. ”

Ye Chu looked at it and didn't mean to take the child.

The child saw it, his son retired, and Xuan Chen was still waiting for his son to go back for breakfast. So saying, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Presumptuous!" Li Ji slapped the table angrily.

"This is your eldest son!"

"Li Cong has long been recorded in Xuan Chen's name, and it stands to reason that Ye Li Cong is the eldest son. ”

"You..."

The mother was angry, and the son withdrew. ”

Wei Yun calmed down and comforted Li Ji. As soon as Ye Chu returned to the courtyard, he watched people come in and out carrying boxes.

"What's wrong?"

"Take out your winter coat for you, while there are a few days, you should iron it, you should dry it, the north is bitter cold. ”

"Good ma'am, I'm going to war. ”

Xuan Chen glanced at Ye Chu who was making fun of him angrily.

"A piece of kindness is really treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by you. ”

"I'm going to the barracks tomorrow, and goodbye is the day I send my husband to the battle. ”

"How long will it take to be back?"

"Eight years at the least, a year or two at the most, and I'll come back well. ”

Before dawn on the second day, Ye Chu went to Beiying on the hour.

"Madam, wear this, it must still be windy when you get to the city tower so early. ”

"Hmm. Xuan Chen looked a little absent-minded.

The departure ceremony was magnificent, and Beigong Mingye was determined to clean up the barbarians in the north.

Ye Chu took the handsome seal and the imperial decree from Beigong Mingye, looked at Xuan Chen on the side, went downstairs to the city and got on the horse, Ye Chu looked back and looked again, the army of 100,000 was mighty.

"Sister Chen, rest assured, Ye Hou will definitely return triumphantly early. ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang. ”

Xuan Chen sat down in Xun Hui Palace for a while and returned to the house.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chu's letter finally arrived, saying that there was still half a month to reach the north, and everything was fine on the way. Xuan Chen was slightly relieved.

Just out of the month of confinement, Wei Yun brought the child to greet Xuan Chen.

"Get up, you're just out of confinement, you have to take care of it. ”

"Thank you, ma'am. ”

The nurse held the child in front of Xuan Chen, who only looked at it and didn't say anything.

"The father has given the child a nickname, saying that the Hou Ye had told the Hou Ye to let the Hou Ye take it before the expedition, I wonder if the lady has received the Hou Ye's family letter, has you mentioned this matter?"

"Since it was said that the father said it, it must be returned to the father first, so you go and ask the father. ”

"I'm tired, you should step back first. Like my mother, I am not in good health, and I don't like to be disturbed by these details, so I won't use it in the future. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Wei Yun suffered a loss and left in a huff.

"Madame is really polite, for her, I don't know how many people have listened to ridicule behind my back. ”

"Why didn't Li Cong come this afternoon? Isn't it resting today?"

"I was punished by the martial artist for practicing archery yesterday, and I am not allowed to rest today. ”

"Forgot to ask who is teaching the martial artist?"

"It's Jochi, the person Hou Ye is looking for. ”

"Jochi, too, is too strict. ”

Wei Yun returned to the courtyard, feeling very angry, and it happened that Xiaoyun brought the medicine to nourish the body. Wei Yun thought that the national teacher was a holy doctor, and he had also heard others say how heavy Xuan Chen's illness was, the first king killed batch after batch of doctors and said that he couldn't live, the national teacher was saved, and there was an epidemic, why Xuan Chen's body was empty, and he bumped into Xuan Chen drinking medicine that day, and his expression was very difficult.

"Xiaoyun, where was the medicine prescribed by Xuan Chen, can you inquire?"

The slave was about to say that. Strange to say, Imperial Physician Zhang in the palace will come to her every month to ask for peace pulse, prescribe medicine, and personally select medicine, and the national teacher will also let people send medicine from time to time, with pills and prescriptions. The people in the courtyard over there said that her medicine should have been handled by Lian Bi. It stands to reason that since the national teacher sent medicine, the palace would not be unaware. Every time Lian Bi decocted the medicine, she decocted two pairs together, and she didn't know which one she drank. Don't drink this bowl and drink that bowl. ”

"I'm going to find some medicine residue after a while, and that pill, I touched it last time, and it smells good. ”

"It's going to take a while. Lian Bi regards her master as more important than life. ”

"It's also a shame that she still has a Lianbi by her side. ”

At this time, it was already the middle of October, and the army was stationed at the most important checkpoint in the north - Louwu, and it was indeed hit by a rare snowstorm coming ahead of schedule. Although the capital of the Northern Lonely Country, Beigucheng, is also cold and snowy in winter, it is not as good as the northern border, and the wind and snow season arrives early, and many soldiers can't stand it at all.

Even the barbarians in the north withdrew a small part of their army due to bad weather and returned to the rear to support their headquarters against natural disasters.

"Madam, I haven't fed the parrot today. ”

"Master Hou sent a letter, saying that the wind and snow in the north this year have been advanced, and I am afraid that this year's battle will not be fought. ”

"It's November, isn't it normal for it to snow in the north?"

"Silly girl, how long does it take to send a letter from the North?"

Lian Bi smiled innocently.

Beigong Mingye was a little worried with the military report, he wanted to fight a quick battle, but now it is impossible to let the army withdraw, and there are problems with the follow-up supply of grain and grass.

"Let's do what Ye Hou said first, Da Si Nong. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"We must keep up with the follow-up affairs and not procrastinate. ”

"Yes. ”

The deputy general He Yan and others retreated to the Ganzhi Pass in the rear with an army of 70,000, and Ye Chu led the remaining 30,000 soldiers to guard the front line in the north. The heavy wind and snow caused damage to the barbarian population, cattle and sheep, but the elite troops still did not retreat, and from time to time sent some small soldiers to fight a little trouble. Other than that, there weren't many ups and downs in the war.

"Madam, it's only been a few days before Master Hou wrote again?"

"Well, he said that the snow in the north is more chic than in the northern lonely city, and it is a beautiful view. ”

"Master Hou didn't mention the hardships of the military at all, and he came to enjoy the snow. ”

Lian Bi closed the window, and the north wind outside was rolling in the snow.

"Madam, are you entering the palace this year?" Lian Bi handed Xuan Chen the soup woman who covered her hands, and sat beside Xuan Chen with a charcoal fire, and the master and servant were gossiping.

"Come in, I didn't go last year, and it's a bit rude not to go this year. ”

"Madam, don't take this pill in the future. Lian Bi actually had some awareness in her heart.

Xuan Chen put down the tea in his hand and put it on the table beside him, "Let's talk about it." ”

"I heard that the name had already been chosen. ”

"What's it called?"

"Ye Lin. ”

"Oh. Xuan Chen's tone was light.

"Madame's health has been much better in the past six months, and she can actually have a child. ”

"I see. ”

"Let's go to the palace this year and bring Li Cong with you. Li Cong is seven years old this year, and when Hou Ye comes back from this battle, it is time to put things down. ”

"Madame looks so good at the little boy. ”

As he spoke, Li Cong came in from outside against the snow.

"Come here, you won't have to come later when it's late. Look at your snow, why is no one following?"

"Those people haven't been paying much attention to me lately. The more Li Cong's voice spoke, the less he spoke.

"Lian Bi, I'm going back tomorrow, the old lady asked Li Cong to live in my yard. ”

"Yes. ”

"Mother, will this cause you trouble?" Li Cong's sensitive heart has been running around lately.

"No, it won't. ”

"Mare's milk cake?"

"Good!"

"It's cold, and my mother is lazy in winter, so I don't go to see your martial arts class, how is it?"

"The master said that I have grown a lot. Li Cong looked proud.

"That's nice, but you can't be too arrogant, you know?"

Cong'er knows. ”

"Enter the palace with your mother on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and be obedient." ”

"Into the palace?"

"That's right. In the past, my father accompanied my mother, but this year he was outside, and my mother was lonely, so would Cong'er accompany my mother?"

"Good. Li Cong looked a little flinching.

Xuan Chen took Li Cong in his arms, "Don't be afraid, my mother will always be with you." ”

Li Cong sobbed slowly at first, and after a while, she cried out, "They said that I am an orphan, and my grandfather and grandmother will not want me if they have a real grandson, and my mother will not want me when she has a child in the future." ”

Xuan Chen and Lian Bi looked at each other, "No, my mother won't let anyone take what belongs to you." ”

Li Cong fell asleep in Xuan Chen's arms, her little face was red, and there were residual tears on her face.

"Let's let him sleep here today, and carry him to bed. ”

"Yes. Those people's mouths are too disproportionate, but the little boy is also recorded in the name of his wife, and he will not say anything in the future..."

"Shhhh ”

Lian Bi sorted out the futon for Li Cong and went to the outer room.

"Master. Xiaoyun moved quietly, for fear of being seen.

"I took Li Cong into the palace this morning, and I left late, and Lian Bi didn't have time to clean up, so I got some over. ”

Wei Yun hurriedly brought something and wrapped the medicine residue.

"It's just that the pill is in the back room, I don't know where it is, and I really can't get it. ”

"It's okay, take care of this first. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you just find an excuse to go out and find a reliable pharmacy. ”

"Yes. ”
