"Uncle."

Zhang Yan shouted in surprise and sat up. My mind was still a little confused, and I still remembered the voice that sounded in my head before I fell asleep, and I was terrified.

"The lady is finally awake." A pair of familiar hands beside him helped him over, and when he turned around, he saw Tu Yu's smiling face, "The lady is so faint, but it frightens the prince and the maid." ”

"This sister," said Tu Yu to the maid in the palace, "please go and tell the princess that my lady is awake." ”

Zhang Yan raised her eyes and looked around, lying on a spacious cypress lacquered bed, covered with vermilion hanging beads like smoke and fog, embroidered with four cloud patterns. The brocade on the body is soft and warm.

This is the side hall of the prince's east palace.

"Ah Yan," Chen Hu opened the curtain for a while, her voice was as clear as a spring water, she sat on the edge of her couch, smiling and scratching her nose, "You just plopped down like this, but you frightened people." ”

Zhang Yan finally exhaled a breath that was stuffed in her chest, raised her head and smiled, "Maybe I didn't get rid of my headache the day before yesterday." ”

"Okay Ayan," Chen Hu hugged her and smiled, his expression fluttering, "The latest battle report came from Shicai, Yingbu led people to attack the tent of the prince's military camp, and the prince led the soldiers in the camp to meet the enemy bravely, until the reinforcements from the border city arrived, captured Yingbu alive, and your uncle was safe and sound." ”

"Really?" A heart fell back to the place with peace of mind, and Zhang Yanyan said, "That's good." ”

She soon felt that Chen Hu, who was hugging her, was in a happy mood and couldn't be suppressed, and it didn't seem to come entirely from the good news that her husband had survived thousands of miles away.

"Auntie?" Zhang Yan tentatively spoke.

"Huh?" Chen Hu was still smiling, her voice gentle, "Ah Yan, you say," her hand slowly stroked her abdomen, "You're going to be a cousin, aren't you happy?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment. Enlightenment, "Auntie, are you pregnant with a baby?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Hu sat down straight, her smile was like the sun, happy and satisfied, as if at this moment, she had already obtained all the happiness, "Shicai Ah Yan, you faint, the imperial doctor will treat you." By the way, it also gave me a pulse. It's strange that these days I always don't think about tea, and the food is not fragrant. I always thought it was because I was worried about the prince, but I didn't expect it-" My face gradually turned red.

Zhang Yan was stunned again. quickly reacted and smiled, "Then I have to congratulate my uncle." ”

"Whoa." Chen Hu put down his hand and didn't follow, "It's me who is obviously pregnant, why do you just congratulate His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Congratulations to him." Zhang Yan said, "I have made meritorious contributions. I have a new son, shouldn't I celebrate it? ”

On the twentieth day of October in winter, the prince returned to Chang'an. Leave a group of troops from the north in the Bashang camp, and after accepting the reward, he led his own guards into Chang'an. From a distance, I saw two Xuanxi Palace cars parked on the side of the Baqiao, surrounded by people. They are all dressed up in Tsing Yi Palace, and the women in Xuanyi are not afraid of wind and sand, and they look up to the prime minister. As it gets closer, you can see the graceful face and fine lines at the corners of the eyes.

"The Queen Mother."

It was Queen Lu who welcomed the prince to Ba.

Liu Yingchi approached, neatly turned over from the horse, and bowed in front of his mother, "My son has seen the queen mother." ”

"Good boy. Get up. Lu Pheasant hurriedly picked him up with a smile, and Liu Ying raised his head. Revealing a face that had been slightly resolute under the uniform.

Lu Pheasant took a closer look at Aiko and confirmed that there was no big problem, so he really put his mind at ease, put away his smile, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Ying'er, you are also too bold, and the gentleman still knows that he will not stand under the dangerous wall." As the prince of the Han Dynasty, if there is any event, won't it be turmoil in the court? ”

"The child knows his mistakes." Liu Ying admits her mistake.

The sun shone on the young man's face, Lu Pheasant was proud and happy, proud of his son's success, no longer what he wanted, happy that he had built this battle this time and returned safely, then the storage position was stable, and it was no longer something that Qi Yi could easily shake. finally laughed slowly again, and said angrily, "Wuyang Hou is reckless, and my mother must scold him well in the future." I told him to hand over Ying'er to him, but he made such a big mistake for me. It's good that Ying'er is okay, it's okay-"

"Queen Mother," Liu Ying said softly, "isn't the child standing here?" ”

"Ying'er, you're tanned, and you're strong." Her voice was soft, and she reached out to caress the shallow scabbed scar on her cheek with pity, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." Liu Ying stretched out her right hand and wiped it indifferently, and replied with a smile, "It's just a bruise, and when these scabs fall, it's fine." ”

"Hmm." Lu Pheasant bowed his head and said, "That's good." - Doesn't your left shoulder hurt? ”

Liu Ying's left shoulder stiffened slightly.

"Is the prince's left shoulder injured?" Behind Lu Pheasant, Chen Hu hurriedly took a step forward and lost his voice.

"It turns out that the queen mother knows." Liu Ying said in a low voice, "It's Ying'er who is not good, and she shouldn't hide it from her mother." He glanced up at his wife behind his mother, intending to reassure her.

Chen Hu was stunned, and the hand that was about to be stretched out fell.

"The queen mother knows that Ying'er is filial piety, and she doesn't want the queen mother to worry about you." Lu Pheasant smiled and brushed away the hair on Liu Ying's sideburns, "But Ying'er, the more you hide it, the more worried the queen mother becomes." ”

She withdrew her hand and smiled, "Okay." Grandma knows that you have a lot to say to your daughter-in-law, so she won't stop you. Grandma will wait for you in the car in front of you. ”

Liu Ying's face was slightly red, but she didn't refuse, and when she watched her mother help Aunt Su Mo's hand to get into the Xuan car, Fang turned around, looked at his wife and said, "Hu'er, you-this has always been good?" ”

Chen Hu looked up at her husband, pursed her lips and smiled, but she felt that the joy in her heart was mixed, and in the end, she could only reply, "Okay." ”

"Has the prince lost weight? When she returns to the palace, the concubine asks her to cook soup to make up for the prince - can the prince return to the East Palace today? ”

"Nature."

She couldn't help but reach out to shake his hand, and couldn't stop smiling, "That concubine is waiting for the prince to return." During the prince's absence, many things happened. Is it okay for the concubine to tell the prince one by one at night? ”

"Okay."

So enter the Xuanping Gate, turn from Changping to Huangtang Street, unload the uniform, hand over the army, enter the Changle Palace from the North Que, and meet the monarch in the front hall.

Retracting the tiger talisman, above the main hall, Liu Bang looked at his sister-in-law who was kneeling on top of Qingpu. Before he knew it, the son had grown to the age of sixteen. Zhou Li said that the boy is twenty and crowned, but in fact, in his hometown, a sixteen-year-old boy can already take on the work in the fields, and he can be regarded as an adult.

Liu Bang looked away and was silent for a while, before Fang laughed. "Ying'er did a good job on this trip, finally," he waved away the attendant who came forward in a panic, covering his sleeves and coughing earth-shatteringly, and suddenly felt a hand reach over and gently pull his back for himself, stunned, and slightly curled the corners of his lips.

"Father," Liu Ying took the hot soup handed over by the attendant and served him to drink. Re-put it on the case, "Before the son-in-law left, my father's health was uncertain, and it had been a few months. Still not good? ”

"Old." He smiled and patted his son, "Finally, you didn't fall into the majesty of Lao Tzu back then." ”

"Your Majesty," Qi Yi in the east chamber lifted the curtain and said with a smile. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just returned from the expedition, and it is when he is tired, how can His Majesty detain him, or let him go back to the East Palace to rest?"

"Exactly." Liu Bang pushed the boat down the water, and his voice was gentle, "Ying'er." Go back and rest. ”

Liu Ying had no choice but to retreat and bow, "Erchen said goodbye." ”

Liu Bang looked at his son's back and said with a smile. "Yi'er, you see, Ying'er has grown up. This time, I made this feat—"

"So Your Majesty forgot about the concubine you promised, right?" Qi Yi stood up with a cold face and said angrily, "What do you say it hurts me and Ruyi." It's all fake. ”

***********************

The next time I saw Liu Ying was at the family banquet in the Jiaofang Hall three days later.

Honey candles warm and jumping. It reflects the young man's wheat-colored skin. Zhang Yan said with a heart: Sure enough, war can hone a man the most. But a few months later, it seems to have been reborn. There is something called perseverance that grows in him.

"Sister, sister-"

Someone around her pulled her clothes, but it was her younger brother Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is now four years old, which is the most active age, with a pair of big black and white eyes, looking at Chen Hu's belly, looking back curiously, and asking his sister in a milky voice, "Can my aunt's belly really hold a baby?" ”

"yes." Last year's brewed wine was clear, Zhang Yan took a sip, the taste was mellow, beside him, Zhang Yan pulled the hem of his clothes, and his beautiful eyes sparkled excitedly, "Then after a while, there will be a little brother who can play with Yan'er?" ”

Zhang Yan looked around, her parents were congratulating the crown princess, and no one paid attention for a while, so she couldn't suppress the evil thoughts in her heart, "Little brother will be able to play with you for a few years," she raised her cup and shook it, tempting her younger brother like a wolf grandmother seducing a little white rabbit, "Sister has delicious wine here, do you want to take a sip?" The voice was soft.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, "But my mother said that Yan'er is young and can't drink." Having said that, the little boy is naturally highly curious about unfamiliar things, and the cup in Zhang Yan's hand flickered to the left, and his eyes followed to the left. Shake to the right, and follow to the right.

Zhang Yan bit her lip and smiled secretly, with a shallow dimple on her left cheek, "It's okay, let's drink a little secretly and don't tell Grandma." ”

After a while, Lu Yuan returned to the table, only to see his son sitting behind the desk, his figure shaky, and his pink cheeks were red like camellias.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" She was surprised.

only heard a bang, Zhang Yan fell down and slipped under the case.

Zhang Yan secretly glared at the maid who was waiting behind her sister and brother's case, jumped down to help her younger brother, and couldn't help but smile, "Grandma is fine, it's just that my younger brother saw that Yan'er was beautiful in the wine, and pleaded me to give him a drink." It turned out to be just a small sip and drunk. ”

"You're naughty." Lu Yuan glared at Zhang Yan and ordered, "Help Xiao Shizi go in and rest." He also instructed Zhang Yan, "This wine is heavy, Ah Yan, don't drink it." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yan responded obediently.

His face was hot for a while, and the wine came up, although he was not as drunk as Yan'er, but he was a little like that. The air in the hall was stuffy, she said to her mother, got up staggeringly, and went out of the hall to blow the wind.

The cold wind blew around, and a spirit wine woke up. She sat on top of the pillar against the pillar, looked at the Zhuliubi in the hall, listened to the staggered partition wall, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt a coat covering my body, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Changlu and the person standing behind Changlu.

"Uncle."

She smiled lightly.

How did you find me, you again?

Liu Ying leaned over and touched her forehead and asked, "Are you cured of your head disease?" ”

"It's pretty much fine." She curled her lips and said, "Congratulations to my uncle, for his military exploits, I am happy to be a noble son, and I am happy to be here." ”

"Thank you Ah Yan - I heard your aunt say," Liu Ying said with a smile, "When the Huainan beacon fire reached Chang'an, you were very anxious for me. Uncle, thank you for this kindness. ”

She asked herself if she deserved his thanks, so she didn't quit and called out with a smile, "Uncle? ”

"Huh?"

"It's okay - I'm glad you came back safely."
