June 207 BC

Yu Ji and I returned to the army on this day, the weather was excellent, the sun was not strong, the sun was warm, Xiang Yu came out with a small team of men and horses to greet him, with a big smile on his face.

I got out of the carriage first, and then took the child in Yu Ji's arms, the child was very quiet, biting his fingers, sleeping soundly, and the fleshy little face had a faint flush, and he looked very cute.

"Congratulations to the young master for having a noble son." I blessed Xiang Yu with a blessing and said with a smile: "Dumpling Xue has made a meritorious contribution to accompanying my sister this time, and I hope that the young master will reward Dumpling Snow well."

"Hahaha. It's nature." Xiang Yu smiled heroically, stretched out his hand to take the child, and took his hand back when he touched the swaddling clothes.

"Why doesn't the young master hug the world." I asked.

"He was born with divine power, he has been able to carry the tripod since he was a child, and his hands are not light or heavy, how dare he hold a newborn baby." Yu Ji smiled: "I see that he is also scratching in his heart now."

Xiang Yu spread his hands helplessly, and sighed: "It's still Madam, you have a good Lan heart, everything can be seen by you."

It was rare to see Xiang Yu's distressed appearance, so everyone laughed again.

"It's okay for a while." Changxi, who came with Xiang Yu, helped me brush away a strand of hair next to my cheek, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Where do I work hard, it's Sister Yu who works hard." I said, "Don't you know, it turns out that a mother has to go through such heart-rending pain when she gives birth, and I'm scared when I look at it."

"All mothers in the world are heroes, men can only create success, but they can create life." Changxi rubbed my hair and smiled, "You will do the same in the future."

I blushed and pretended not to hear, leaving him and running to Yu Ji to tease the child.

In more than two months, the army has undergone great changes, not to mention that many cities have been captured along the way, and even the team has grown to 400,000 because of Zhang Han's joining, which can be said to be the largest army today.

I wanted to take a good bath, so I slipped away to the brook next to the barracks at dusk to take a bath.

The weather is already in summer, the stream is cool, just to cool off, I use a wooden basin to pick up a pot and pour it on my body.

"It's so cool." I put down my coiled hair, combed it slowly with my long amber comb, and dipped it in the stream.

"You've lost weight." Changxi sat on a rock not far away, playing with the jade Changxiao that had followed him for many years, the evening breeze stirring the long uncombed hair on his cheeks, and the sunset reflected his gentle eyebrows and eyes, which looked exceptionally warm.

"I didn't have much rest all the way, because it was bumpy all the time, so I didn't have much appetite to eat." I wiped my body with a soft towel and turned my back to him and said, "It's not just me, Gao Gongzi and Sister Yu have also lost a lot of weight, but it's nothing, as long as the child is well, it's enough."

Behind him came a few chuckles, and his low, magnetic voice was as charming as the sound of his flute.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you give a." I turned my head to look at him." If you think about it, I don't think I've heard of it since I left Afang."

"Ah, I haven't blown it again since I left, because when I blow it, I will definitely think of you, and when I think of you, I will definitely want to shed tears. Blowing Yuxiao alone and shedding tears, it is as pitiful as drinking alone under the moon." His thoughts seemed to go back to a long time ago, with a hint of ethereal, and I was just about to say something to comfort him, but he said, "But it was a long time ago, and now that you're back with me, I shouldn't let this Xiao be lonely anymore."

The sound of the clear flute echoes in the forest, and the "ding dong" sound of the stream splashing down has become my favorite piece of music in my life.

The sky is getting dark, I put on my clothes and go back to the camp with the long man, he finds a handkerchief to wipe my hair, the movements are gentle, but the little soldiers outside the tent suddenly come to report, saying that Xiang Yu has set up a feast in the tent, inviting a few acquaintances and generals to drink and have fun, as if it was a late full moon wine for the children.

"I knew that the young master would not wronged this child." I smiled and said, "My sister felt sorry for the child for this."

"The young master naturally won't let his precious son be wronged." Changxi took out a white hosta and helped me fix my hairpin, and said softly: "This is what my mother ordered someone to send a few days ago, saying that I wanted to give it to you."

"Your Highness Shu Yan" I was a little shocked, and said in disbelief: "Didn't your mother always like Liu Wu, you pushed Liu Wu's marriage for me, wouldn't she be dissatisfied with me?"

"My mother came from a humble background, she was just a palace maid in the palace of King Yan, and later became my father's concubine because she gave birth to me. Changxi said helplessly: "She was very surprised when she learned that you were the princess of Wei.

"It can't be helped." I took Changxi's hand and comforted, "No matter what kind of person she is, she is your only mother, her most important relative, isn't it?"

He chuckled, leaned over and imprinted a kiss on my forehead, and said softly, "Yes."

When Changxi and I came to the tent, it was already bustling. Changxi and I sat down at the table next to Qin Yuqi.

Changxi couldn't help laughing, and whispered back to him: "Don't let him hear what you say, beware that he wants you to drink all the wine tonight in one go."

"That's just right, I'm worried about running out of wine." Qin Yuqi lazily responded, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, looking leisurely.

I was talking to Gao Xiran in a whisper.Changxi and Qin Yuqi were talking and laughing.We were making a fuss.Xiang Yu suddenly slapped the table.He said angrily: "I've decided.My son is called Xiang Long.Wuyun Changlong's Long."

"Wu Yun Changlong." We can't laugh bitterly, this guy has to do everything with war.

Yu Ji covered her mouth and smiled happily, nodded and said, "Okay, listen to your father's name, Xiang Long."

Fan Zeng stroked his beard and nodded and smiled: "Since you have thought about it for so long to come up with, take this 'Long'." The meaning of 'Changlong' is also excellent."

This is a night of jubilation in the human brain, because of the arrival of Xiao Xiang Long, everyone suddenly feels that the future is full of hope, maybe this is the power of life.

Many years later, when Xiang Long, who was already a teenager, asked me about the whereabouts of his biological parents, this is the scene that comes to my mind.

The loving two hugged their newborn child and smiled happily, their eyes full of hope for a better future, as if they would not be separated in this life.
