Chapter 3: Heading North

Wang Yuan hurt her vitality in this production, and she has been lying on the bed groggily, and even the morning food is half coaxed and half forced by Xiao Shao when he entered the palace, although he woke up once in the middle, he only had time to explain to the two children to his side.

Therefore, when Xiao Shao returned home, he saw the warm scene of his wife and young son hugging each other and sleeping, thinking of the situation in Jizhou now embattled, a sense of pride spontaneously arose, if he didn't work hard to climb up, would he let his wife and children live under the threat of the Huns every day?

It's just the Tao in some documents, he doesn't believe it, can he still not understand it when he was born in the royal family since he was a child?

Xiao Shao set himself a rather difficult goal, poked his daughter's hand and couldn't help but use a little more force, and when he noticed it, he saw the two children open their eyes at some point, staring at him directly, for some reason, Xiao Shao was stared at in the heart, and removed his hand in a sneer, if he didn't know that the newborn child couldn't see anything, he was only afraid to suspect that his two children were born to know.

Newborn children can only eat, sleep and sleep, Xiao Shao's son and daughter are even more well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, let their naΓ―ve Aya poke for a long time before humming twice to signal the nurse to feed him, Xiao Shao, who has automatically entered the silly father mode, with a frosted glass texture filter, only feels that the two children born by Erniang are born with auspicious temperament (?). Yushu Linfeng (?) There is a love affair (?) attitude, people can't wait to hold the world in front of her.

It's really worthy of Erniang's blood! ←_←

That's the point, the Four Kings!

The waves of the three rituals were not shocked, except for crying twice when shaving the fetal hair, the insect girl and the Tan slave were all happy, and they earned enough goodwill from adults, "These two of you are really well-behaved, which is like my family's eldest man, from washing three to crying to the full moon, making me and Siniang sleepless every day, and living out of a heavenly demon star." The prince sent his eldest son to see his sister, and told Xiao Shao with a smile about the interesting things of Xiao Yu's childhood.

"I'd rather they make some trouble," Xiao Shao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Yu come to Queen Chen's side, and asked which one was his younger brother and which one was his younger sister. ”

The prince is also a person who has taken children, so he naturally knows that these two children look much younger, "Don't worry, our heavenly family has never lacked anything, and we can't raise two children." Seeing that Xiao Shao's worries were gradually gone, the prince pulled him out of the hall, "You were in a hurry yesterday, Aya forgot to tell you, so let me talk to you, after the autumn harvest this year, Aya will send troops to the north to push the Liaoqi border further north, if you can open up the passage with Goryeo, it would be better." ”

"Didn't Ayemo want me to go too?" Xiao Shao said angrily, his brows were furrowed and he could kill mosquitoes, and he was even more annoyed when he saw the prince nodding, "Erniang just gave birth to Aya and asked me to join the army, I'm afraid that when I come back, the eldest mother and the eldest lang won't know me!" Xiao Shao remembered that Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Chen were still in the palace, so he took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "How can I tell Erniang?" Can I open this mouth! ”

The prince is also embarrassed, Aya is afraid that Shiro will make noise in front of it, so he will hand over this errand to himself, can he hold Shiro down?

"I know it's hard for you,"

"That is, I know that this matter is embarrassing, why do I want to let me go!"

The prince was not angry when he was robbed by Xiao Shao, but said: "If you want to join the army, this kind of thing is absolutely indispensable, it is better to get used to it as soon as possible, which of the generals in the army has not been away from home for many years, and you can often return home is already stained with the light of being a royal family, if you can't even do this, you should hand in your resignation as soon as possible and go home to take the children, you will not starve to death if you have a brother and wife left and right!" ”

"Big brother!" Xiao Shao said in shame, only to feel that he had been insulted, "Am I so squeamish in my eldest brother's heart?" ”

"It's not that you're squeamish, but I'm afraid that you're short of breath and prospered." Emperor Xuanwu's voice came from behind Xiao Shao, and Xiao Shao reluctantly saluted with the prince, justifying: "It's just reluctant, and I didn't say no, why are you so delayed?" Ayemo wants to be. ”

"It's only February, and there is still half a year before the autumn harvest, so it's not for you to set off now."

As soon as Xiao Shao wanted to refute, he felt that the prince pulled down his sleeve, and subconsciously changed what he said: "I heard A-Niang say that Aya was inseparable when she sent A-Niang on the expedition, and she couldn't replace her with her body, but she couldn't let go of his wife like Aye, so he caused Aya to complain a lot." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crown prince and Emperor Xuanwu both looked sideways, "What did Shiro just say?" Emperor Xuanwu pressed Xiao Shao's shoulder and threatened, "Why didn't my father hear clearly." ”

Xiao Shao's body was crooked, and he quickly adjusted his posture to withstand the pressure of Emperor Xuanwu, and said with a sneer: "Er is saying that Aya and A-Niang are deeply in love, and Er's heart is envious." ”

Emperor Xuanwu snorted coldly and withdrew his hand, "If you let your aunt know that you arranged her in private, hum!" ”

Emperor Xuanwu habitually used Empress Chen to scare his son, and he always felt that something strange was in his heart, and after a little thought, he put aside those slight discomforts, "The bride teaches in the martial arts school, this kind of thing is also common, you can tell her that she can still stop you, if you don't worry about the insect mother and Tan Nu, let your aunt help take care of it, she has been very idle recently." ”

Will A-Niang be idle?

Xiao Shao wrote down Emperor Xuanwu's words in his heart, and pretended to be embarrassed and excused himself twice: "I'm afraid that the child's ignorance will disturb A-Niang." ”

Emperor Xuanwu: "......, I'll watch you play quietly."

"Don't worry, this is what your aunt meant."

Emperor Xuanwu decided on this matter and returned to the main hall of the palace, leaving the two brothers looking at each other, a gust of wind blew and took away a few dead leaves that refused to fall, and a black ball rushed to Xiao Shao's legs, "Fourth brother! ”

Xiao Shao picked up the dumplings and hugged them in his arms, "Why did Xiao Wu run out?" ”

"Don't you want to run away again?" The prince teased.

Tuanzi, who was called Xiao Wu, greeted the two brothers in Xiao Shao's arms, and then explained the reason in a milky voice, it turned out that he had just seen a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on the back of his little nephew's neck, and it was gone in the blink of an eye, he felt strange and wanted to take another look, who knew that the little nephew was made crying before he could do it, and was driven out by Queen Chen, who felt sorry for her grandson.

"What's so strange about birthmarks, we also had them when we were born, but they disappeared after the big five." Xiao Shao hid the horror in his heart, ignored the matter casually, and returned to the main hall with the prince.

The two children were born twins and were born prematurely, and they didn't have the energy of ordinary babies at all, saying that they were provoked to cry, but they only snorted a few times, so Xiao Shao didn't hear the crying outside the hall.

Seeing that one by one the bear children circled around, you poke and I touch it, Emperor Xuanwu also felt that the two sisters and brothers were a little pitiful, and Shiro's accusatory gaze was really obvious, Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and returned to the palace!

It's not that I haven't seen my brother and sister, and as for the appearance that I haven't seen the world, I'll wait until the full moon to see it.

A few small ones can only tearfully say goodbye to their fragrant and soft sister, this is a sister!

The corners of Xiao Shao's mouth twitched, and he finally patiently sent away a group of little ancestors, so that he had time to think about today's events.

Ah Niang has been cultivating heirs all these years, and now it is reasonable to decide to withdraw from the Wude Palace, anyway, even Ah Niang Zhishi can enter the Lin Cheng Hall to continue to participate in the court discussion, but the plum blossom birthmark on the back of the neck of Tan Nu said by Xiao Wu is strange.

If the two black pythons in the dream are really the eldest mother and the eldest man, what should he do?

Thinking about the half-dead deer cub that was tossed by the eldest mother, this is not like chasing a deer in the general sense, but more like, well, Qingjun's side? Seems to have succeeded?

Xiao Shao was frightened into a cold sweat by his own dream, and sure enough, there are some things that can't be thought about, since the first emperor ruled the world, which dynasty in the early years of the princes rebellion can be successful, that is, the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of the Han Dynasty is so menacing is not also pacified by Zhou Yafu, not to mention that although the vassal king of this dynasty has the name of the vassal king, there is no real vassal king, just like him, although Jizhou is his fief, but the civil affairs of Jizhou have their own court to send people to take care of it, and the military is not something that a small centurion can put his beak, and the so-called fief is even more unreliable, His fief was only 200 acres of wasteland in Jizhou, and half of it was mountainous.

And according to the regulations, the land held by the vassal king cannot exceed 800 acres, although there are still loopholes to drill in actual operation, but he can't take the money to buy the legendary Jizhou, which is his fiefdom, not to mention that he has so much money, but if he does, will those imperial historians let go of this great opportunity for impeachment?

Jin Taizu's path is even more impossible, like this situation of saving the mansion and then returning to the hearts of all the people and then practicing Zuo is only applicable to the end of the dynasty, is it Wang Mang's route to take?

Wang Mang......

"My lord, the princess, please come over."

Xiao Shao, who was interrupted from his train of thought: ......

Why did he stand in the middle of the courtyard and think about such a murderous thing on the side of Qing Jun.

Shake off those unrealistic ideas in his head, time has changed, he is now just a small centurion, and his military rank is not as high as his own princess, and it is too early to say anything.

If you really want to pave the way for the two children, it is better to climb up first, at least to take the army of Jizhou into your own hands.

It's just that this time Erniang was left alone in Jinling, not only to guide the completion report of the fourteen-year students in the martial arts school, but also to take care of the insect Niang and Tannu, and I don't know if Erniang can be busy, Xiao Shao pondered in his heart the possibility of persuading Wang Yuan to hand over the child to Queen Wang to take care of, who knew that Wang Yuan's next words completely shattered his illusions.

"You're going north with the army?!"

Seeing Xiao Shao's incredible appearance, Wang Yuan was even more guilty, but this matter was decided by her a long time ago, and it was related to whether she could be transferred smoothly this year, and she would definitely not stay in Jinling because of Shiro and the child, "This matter is that I am sorry for you and the child, if you want to blame me, I have no complaints, but if you want to persuade me to stay in Jinling, you don't need to mention it again, my excerpt with the army has been approved, and there is no possibility of turning this matter around." ”

Wang Yuan's unchanging tone, as always, made Xiao Shao laugh angrily, "Don't you know that your baby was born prematurely?" You're going north with the army! Are you taking your body seriously?! Although Wang Yuan is only responsible for teaching medical skills, the reason why her military rank is higher than Xiao Shao is because she is not only born in the female army, but also good at medical skills and poetry, as a rare all-rounder in the female army, when she was in Taiyuan, she also took five military doctors under her command to capture a general of the Liao State, so Wang Yuan wants to accompany the army on the Northern Expedition will definitely not take care of the wounded soldiers in the rear, but fight with the army, it is because of this that Xiao Shao is particularly angry, "Not to mention who will take care of the children when you and I go north together, just say that your body can withstand a long-distance attack?" If you come out, if there is a case, what will you let me! Is it like a big brother who remarries and then separates father and son? ”

Xiao Shao's words made Wang Yuan cry and laugh, she was afraid that she would be injured before she left, what if she really went north? "Don't think about it, I'm going with a doctor who has just graduated this time, and I won't fight with the army." Pulling the indignant Xiao Shao to sit down beside him, Wang Yuan persuaded with a smile, "That's it, even if you let me go in the future, I won't go, I have already discussed with the sacrificial wine, and after this battle, I will be transferred to Jizhou to take charge of the courtyard." ”

"Is it the division of Jizhou that I said earlier?" Xiao Shao frowned, "You are a doctor in Jinling Martial Arts, how did you get Jizhou to take charge of a hospital, is someone deliberately suppressing it?" ”

Wang Yuan gave him a meaningful look and said with relief: "With you, who dares to suppress me, you can rest assured." After repeatedly assuring Xiao Shao that no one was stumbling on him, Wang Yuan took the time to ask Xiao Shao carefully before he said what he had said, "You said that you also want to go north?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Shao smiled bitterly, "Aya only informed me today, I was still worried about how to tell you, but who knew that there are only two infant children left in the family now." ”

Wang Yuan was also embarrassed, "Why don't you entrust it to A-Niang?" ”

"That's the only way, I'll tell A-Niang in person another day." Xiao Shao pondered Emperor Xuanwu's suggestive words today, and hesitated: "How can you say that this matter is so coincidental, it stands to reason that your sacrificial wine will not know about the situation of our family, how can you let you lead the team?" ”

Xiao Shao's statement Wang Yuan also noticed that something was wrong, but thinking that he took the initiative to mention this matter, he denied Xiao Shao's speculation, "It shouldn't be, Guo Xijiu also advised me to be cautious, it doesn't look like it was deliberately designed, but why did Aya say it today." Wang Yuan complained casually, if it wasn't for Shiro's sudden order, they wouldn't have been caught off guard.

"That's it, it doesn't matter if he was designed by someone or not, the matter has come to this point, I can only take one step at a time," Xiao Shao threw away the chaotic clues, took Wang Yuan's hand and said with relief, "Even if you and I are not in Jinling, there is still A-Niang, A-Niang has always liked children, and she will not treat her own grandchildren badly." ”

The matter has come to this, there is no other way, the young couple can only make this plan, is it better than the people in the house?
