In order to settle the Western Xia, Zhao Ta left for a long time and did not return, even if he had not spent a year in Xining Prefecture, he couldn't help but return to his heart like an arrow at this moment, and the army was starry day and night.

He was worried about the affairs in the house, the little lady was not by his side when she was in labor, and a few days ago there was a letter that Xiao Min was also going to give birth, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After Qinwangchuan, he didn't stop at all in Huangzhou and other places, and went straight to Xining Prefecture.

In the second year of Song Jingkang, March 18, Xiao Zhao Xi was four years old, Xiao Zhao Yi was two years old, Xiao Zhao Yi had a small birthday, was born in winter, and was one year older during the New Year, Zhao Ta returned to Xining Prefecture in the morning of this day.

Because it was a triumphant, the gongs and drums outside the city were noisy, all the houses and trees were all covered in red and hung with colors, and Liu Suiyun led the generals to greet them.

This pacification of the Western Xia is a major event, but there is the foundation of the country, Liu Suiyun has already been in the Yellow River west of the states of the propaganda propaganda, the army is even more early to celebrate, now almost everyone knows, the king of Qin set Helan, the Western Xia has ended.

Without going into too much gossip, Zhao Ta and Liu Suiyun talked for a while, and then went back to the house directly.

The palace was even more jubilant, Lei San, Zhou Chu, Qian Wenxi, Wu Xiaodao, Shen Fei and others were all waiting outside the door, and when asked about the female dependents, it turned out that Xiao Min was about to give birth, and they all went over there to take care of it.

After entering the house, Zhao Ta did not rest, and went directly to Xiao Min's hospital, watching his mother and maid busy coming and going, and the girls came to see the ceremony.

Xiao Niang hugged Xiao Zhao Yi, although she was two years old, in fact, she was only a few months old, and she was not happy to be one year old, only counting her age by year, Xiao Zhao Yi could not walk, she could only hold it in her arms, and looked around at the moment.

Zhu Xiuniang also held Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi saw Zhao Ta, broke free from Zhu Xiuniang's wrist, ran over and shouted: "Daddy, daddy is back!" ”

"Xi'er, you ......"

Seeing Zhu Xiuniang's anxious appearance, Zhao Ta hugged Xiao Zhao Xi and said, "Do you want to have a father?" ”

"I've thought about it, and I miss it every day."

Zhao Ta laughed: "Then the next time you go on an expedition, will Daddy take you with you?" ”

"Good...... However, my mother said that it was important to study, and that fighting was dangerous and rude, so you had to stay away. ”

Zhao Ta glanced at Zhu Xiuniang, snorted, put down Zhao Xi and walked towards Xiao Niang.

The little lady's face was puffy, and the little Zhao Yi in her arms looked at Zhao Ta curiously, Zhao Ta stretched out his finger to tease the little guy, and the little guy immediately "giggled" and laughed.

Zhao Ta took the hug, kissed it a few times, and handed it back, Xiao Zhao Yi obviously didn't want to go, twisted his body in the little lady's arms, and stretched out a pair of small hands to Zhao Ta.

At this time, the voice of the stable woman came from the house, and the women hurriedly confessed and went to help, Zhao Yi was handed over to the maid, and Zhao Xi also stayed.

Zhao Ta was not good to enter the house, so he sat in the courtyard and waited, at this time the eagle swayed from the side and walked closer, shrunk his head beside him, looked at the other side of the room, and looked at Zhao Ta, looking puzzled.

Zhao Ta saw that this eagle had grown up again, in the past, the camel man could fly for a quarter of an hour in the sky, but at this moment, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to fly for an hour.

Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and touched the eagle feather, and said, "Your master is about to give birth to a little master, remember to take care of it in the future." ”

The eagle tilted his head as if he was thinking, and Zhao Ta said again: "The master's child is the little master." ”

Diao blinked, as if he understood Zhao Ta's words, but he became more and more confused, turned around twice in place, and then put on a strange posture, and kept "cooing" in his mouth.

Zhao Ta looked at its posture, half-squatting and half-crouching, stretched out his hand and gave it a slap, and scolded with a smile: "People are directly produced, where are there eggs that lay and hatch!" ”

The eagle straightened up in pain, nodded his head to indicate that he understood the matter, and at this moment, there was a sudden cry of "wow" in the house.

Zhao Ta's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at the door, only to see Qi Hongyu coming out quickly to report the good news: "Lord, Lord, Mrs. Xiao has given birth, and she is a little princess." ”

"Daughter? Okay, good ......" Zhao Ta immediately stood up, his face couldn't suppress the joy, and said in a loud voice, he always wanted a daughter, but the two were sons before, and now Xiao Min gave birth to a daughter for him, and immediately fulfilled his wish.

Zhao Ta immediately determined the name he had given before, which was Zhao Yue'er, and then issued orders one after another in the courtyard.

Xining City celebrates for three days.

Under the rule of Xihe, all localities were exempted from taxes during the year.

In Qindi and Hexi, all local taxes are also exempted during the year.

Amnesty was granted to all prefectures and counties, and all other prisoners were exempted from punishment and pardoned, except for the three crimes of not committing rebellion, smuggling of ordnance, and abduction of adultery.

Then a feast was held in the house, and all the high-ranking generals came, and even set up a flowing water banquet in the city to celebrate the birth of Xiao Zhao Yue.

This kind of Enge reward, such a scene, far exceeds the birth scene of Zhao Xi and Zhao Yi, which shows how much Zhao Ta loves this daughter.

According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the prince was awarded the title after birth, and the emperor was added after the birth of the emperor.

In the evening, Zhao Ta went to visit Xiao Min's mother and daughter, Xiao Min had a moist silk towel on his forehead, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was about to get up when he saw Zhao Ta.

Zhao Ta pressed her and said with a smile: "Thirteen Niang is just lying down, this time to add a daughter to this king, it is really a great achievement, why do you still need to get up to meet me." ”

Xiao Min's bright eyes blinked: "Erlang...... You, do you like your daughter, I didn't add a prince to Erlang, I'm afraid that Erlang will be unhappy. ”

Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "What is this called, do you remember that I said before that I wanted a daughter?" I can't be happy when this long-cherished wish is fulfilled, and you know the orders I have given, which shows the affection in my heart. ”

Xiao Min said: "Erlang is so thoughtful, I am relieved......"

Zhao Ta sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed her hand and said: "Don't you still know me, why do you think that there are no things, now the general trend is changing, what I said to you when I went to Beijing back then, I am afraid that it will not take long to come true." ”

Xiao Min wondered: "Erlang talks too much, I don't know which one?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Naturally, it is the sentence when you leave, one day, you will definitely return to the capital!" ”

Xiao Min's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Erlang, is this true?" ”

Zhao Tan nodded: "Naturally, it's true, it's not far off." ”

After speaking, he got up and went to the small bed next to him to visit his daughter, only to see that Xiao Zhao Yue was sleeping soundly, and after taking a closer look, he laughed and said: "Like me, like me, better than those two, those two are more like their mothers, like me less, but this daughter is completely like me!" ”

"Isn't it more like me?" Xiao Minjiao said angrily.

"No, no, it's just like this king, hahaha." Zhao Ta said, touched Zhao Yue'er's little face, and then reluctantly walked back and said: "Thirteen Niang cultivate well, I still have to deal with some military affairs, and I will come to visit Thirteen Niang tomorrow." ”

Xiao Min said: "Erlang came back from Hexi, tired from the trek, and rested early." ”

Zhao Ta nodded and went out, went straight to the study, watched some Longyou official business, and then called Lei San and Zhou to come over for tea and chat, and then went to Zhao Yuannu's residence.

I only saw that Zhao Yuannu was sitting in a daze in the room, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly got up, went over and hugged his arm and said, "Lord Wang, Yuannu wants to do it." ”

Zhao Ta looked at her and said, "This king has returned, why do you still look unhappy?" ”

Zhao Yuannu said in the period of Ai Ai: "Lord, slave family, slave family...... I want to have a baby too. ”

Zhao Ta thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Have you ever done the things you were asked to do when you were in Tokyo before?" ”

Zhao Yuannu bowed his head and said: "I have done three things, all according to the requirements of the prince, black and white, and ...... There is also a skin color, that is, the tulle is not elastic, which is difficult to achieve as the prince said. ”

"It's okay, wear it and show it to this king."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuannu walked to the side of the bed shyly, then found a small box, and took out a few pairs of light yarn weaving from it, which were translucent that could not be seen on the market at all...... The stockings came, and then he bit his lip and slowly changed into them.

Seeing this, Zhao Ta took a deep breath and walked over to hug Zhao Yuannu, "Wang, Wangye...... Lights. ”

Zhao Ta shook his head: "If you don't turn off the lights, you won't be able to see them if you turn them off......"

In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, not only the trees and leaves are green, but even the flowers and plants are fragrant.

On this day, Zhao Ta had nothing to do, called Luda and Wu Song to go to the West Sea, stopped outside the house to think about it, and called Yuan Ying and Zhou Douyuan, and asked Yuan Ying to come out with Xiao Zhao Xi in his arms.

Xiao Zhao Xi only knows how to read every day, Zhu Xiuniang does not allow him to contact other things, especially not to dance with guns and sticks, how can this be done?

His son is good to be both civil and military, Wen can put pen to paper to settle the world, and Wu can go on the horse to determine the world, but he is not around to fight outside, and he can't control this matter, Zhu Xiuniang does not allow Xiao Zhao Xi to learn martial arts and practice, who dares to restrain others?

Therefore, while his family is in the mansion, temper him more, and when he is older, let him go to see the battlefield, exercise his courage, and cultivate the heart of martial arts, this thing is best cultivated, not forced.

As for arguing with Zhu Xiuniang or being arrogant because of this, he is reluctant at the moment, the children are already literate and hyphenated, and they don't want to do those things anymore, which is meaningless.

A group of five people, with a little Zhao Xi, and then led three hundred light horses, out of the city gate of Xining Prefecture, and went straight to the direction of Xihai.

It was a sunny day, cloudless, warm and sweet, and the air was filled with sweetness.

A few people are fast, walking in front of the cavalry, Yuan Ying takes Xiao Zhao Xi in front of the horse, obviously Xiao Zhao Xi has not usually ridden a horse at all, although it is bumpy at the moment, but he is very excited, and asks this and that from time to time, Yuan Ying is also a child's heart, the two of them chatter, very lively.

When it was close to noon, I had already seen the West Sea, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the West Sea Lake was lying quietly outside the mountains, like a bright pearl, shining.

In the sunlight, the lake is dazzling, the surface of the lake is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, quiet and deep, sparkling, as if boundless.

"It's so beautiful!" Yuan Ying's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say in admiration.

"Look at it, Xi'er has to go over and take a look." Xiao Zhao Xi also puffed up his palms.

Zhao Ta ordered, leaned towards the lake, prepared a picnic items, and placed them on the lakeside, and several people jumped off their horses and then began to move.

Zhao Ta stood on the side and looked at Xihai Lake with his hand, only to see that the lake water was clear, shining like jade, rippling blue waves, the green grass on the shore, and the lake and sky were the same color, constituting a beautiful picture, which was intoxicating.

At this time, the flames rose, and the soldiers began to grill food, including lamb legs and lamb chops, beef, chicken, and geese.

There are also drinks on the table, all of which are supplied by Qi Hongyu's store, Qi Hongyu also opened a red fish tea shop in Xining City, although the business cannot be compared with Tokyo, but it is not bad.

Where has Yuan Ying seen the drink, let alone such a variety of colors, after tasting a few times, her mouth was so drunk that she was so drunk.

"Master, Master, it's so delicious......"

Zhao Ta looked at her, hummed and agreed, the rebel looked like he had never seen the world, it was really embarrassing.

Yuan Ying hurriedly poured a cup for Xiao Zhao Xi, Xiao Zhao Xi licked it slightly, then shook his head and said, "It's not delicious, I don't drink it." ”

Yuan Ying wondered: "I drink it very well, huh?" ”

Xiao Zhao Xi said: "It's just not delicious, Xi'er has already drunk enough, so don't drink it!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Ta couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "Give him clear water." ”

"Daddy, don't, the water is even more difficult to drink, so I won't drink it!"

Zhao Ta squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Zhao Xi and said, "If you are not thirsty, you don't need to drink, don't say things like whether it is good or not." ”

"I, I'm thirsty, the child is thirsty, but I don't want to drink these things, I want to drink the milk tea in the house......" Xiao Zhao Xi stood on tiptoe, as if looking for milk tea everywhere.

Yuan Ying said: "It seems that you didn't bring milk tea out......

Xiao Zhao Xi immediately flattened his mouth when he heard this: "Daddy, daddy, I want to drink milk tea, I want to drink milk tea." ”

Zhao Ta said indifferently: "There is no milk tea, if you are thirsty, drink something else, and if you are not thirsty, don't drink it!" ”

"Ah......" Xiao Zhao Xi immediately tears rolled around his eyes, Zhao Ta sank his face, the little guy saw that the situation was not good, he held back, he knew that his father would not be as accustomed to it as his mother, and he would not cry out to be pitiful, and he would be beaten fat.

Then, start playing on the shore, where the fish are rarely caught, so they are not too afraid of people, feed something, and jump out of the water.

Yuan Ying made up a bird row, stood under the tree to catch birds, caught two in a moment, put them in a small bamboo cage to play, saw that Xiao Zhao Xi was stunned, shouting to learn to catch birds.

Yuan Ying's eyes rolled, and said that there was another way to catch birds faster, pick up a few cobblestones from the lake, look at the birds that fell on the branches, wave his hand and hit them, and he didn't kill them, but he couldn't fly for the time being, and he put them in a cage.

Xiao Zhao Xi's eyes were straight, and he shouted that he still wanted to learn this skill, and he also picked up stones from the ground and flew them to the tree, but he didn't have much strength, and he couldn't even hit the branches.

After a while, the food was cooked and began to eat and drink.

Zhao Ta called Luda and Wu Song at a table, and the three of them drank, and the other three Yuan Ying, Zhou Douyuan and Xiao Zhao Xi had a table, no wine, just eating and drinking.

Xiao Zhao Xi didn't dare to say anything bad at this time, and his mouth was dry when he ate mutton chops, so he drank it too.

After eating and drinking, noon has passed, continue to play, at this time along the Xihai Lake farther away, Xiao Zhao Xi ran in front, Yuan Ying, Zhou Douyuan followed closely, Zhao Ta behind his back, leading Lu Dawu to loosen the back.

After walking for a while, Wu Song suddenly said, "Lord Wang, there seems to be someone in the distance." ”

Zhao Ta also saw it, nodded and said, "Is it a familiar Tubo household by Xihai Lake?" ”

The west and south shores of the lake, extending down and again, live in many Tibetan populations, including the original ripe Tibetan, and Liu Suiyun who slowly moved after taking charge of Longyou, as well as the soldiers recruited last year, from the hinterland of the southern plateau, the number is really quite a lot.

Wu Song looked forward carefully and shook his head suspiciously: "Lord Wang, I don't look like a Tubo person in my clothes...... How can there be children? ”

In the distance, there was also a little boy in front of the people, running and jumping towards him......
