Yankang seven years, January

With the cry of a baby, a gleam of joy finally appeared on Liu Mastiff's face in a panic. Liu Mastiff grinned and hurriedly walked towards the apse. Qi Yue followed behind the emperor, and it was Bouton's congratulations Then, Liu Xi ignored him and walked all the way to the entrance of the apse. The maid who was in charge of guarding here, saw the emperor who came, but hurriedly attached herself to pay respects, and then retreated to the side.

With the lessons learned from last time, she no longer dares to stop the emperor. The emperor wants to see, that is his business, and if it is not in harmony with etiquette, it is Zongzheng's business. What is she, a court lady, worrying about here?
However, she still called the Son of Heaven loudly to let the people in the hall get ready. Of course Liu Xi would not care about her behavior. When Liu Xi walked into the hall happily, the old woman in charge hugged A package came in front of the emperor, before she could speak, Liu Xi took the child over with a smile, only to feel his hands sink, the old woman smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are a prince, and the grass people have been delivering babies for so many years." , I have never seen such a healthy child!"

Liu Xi looked down, the little guy couldn't open his eyes at all, he opened his mouth wide, one closed and one open, very cute, but... Well, this child has a lot of weight, Liu Xi has seen the appearance of the eldest princess before, this baby looks It looks three circles bigger than the eldest princess! !Good guy, when the princess was born, Liu Xi could hold her with one hand, and the handkerchiefs used by women can surround her, but now this kid, Liu Xi has to use two hands
However, looking at the little life in his hands, Liu Xi couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps his laughter startled the child, the little guy burst into tears, the cry was exceptionally loud and resounded through the hall, even Liu Xi was taken aback by him, at that moment, a ray of golden light seemed to shoot out of the window, When it shone on the little guy, the little guy shone with a golden light, which was extremely dazzling. At that moment, Liu Xi was stunned. He stared at the little guy with wide eyes. The old woman on the side was so scared that he almost fell. on the ground.

"Auspicious! Auspicious! Congratulations to the country!! Congratulations to the country!" Qi Yue reacted quickly, seeing him suddenly kneeling on the ground, and then shouted, the surrounding ladies all knelt together, Liu Xi closed his eyes, and the little guy no longer had that strong light. Liu Xi looked at Qi Yue behind him, and asked, "You saw it too?", "Not just slaves, they all saw it, the prince was born When the time comes, the whole body is shining with golden light and auspiciousness, great auspiciousness!"

"Oh? What about my body?"

"Ah! This servant almost forgot, just now, the country also emitted a more intense light, so frightened that this servant did not dare to look directly, barely able to see His Highness clearly."

"Hahahaha!" Liu Xi laughed, without saying anything, hugged the child, and walked towards the queen. Just as the maids had time to cover Empress Lu, Liu Xi barged in. Lu Ji's face was pale. However, she is still strong, with a relatively calm face. She usually rides a horse and shoots arrows, and her body is also strong. Liu Xi hugged the little guy and sat on her right side, "Hahaha, my Lu Ji, look , our son!"

Liu Xi leaned over so that Lu Ji could see the child clearly.

Lu Ji was a little excited. She turned her head and looked at her lovely child. The little guy was too small to see his eyebrows. However, Lu Ji could tell that the child was as handsome as his father, and his body was still Extraordinarily strong, Lu Ji chuckled, the emperor was reluctant to hand over his son to the maid, so he carefully placed him beside his grandmother, stretched out his hand, and held Lu Ji's hand.

"Thank you. I have a son too."

"His Majesty!"

"Hahaha, I'm so happy, talking nonsense, take good care of yourself. Don't get sick again, little guy, I will take care of him myself."

"By the way, just now, when I hugged him, golden light shot out from his whole body, which was extraordinarily dazzling. The eunuchs and court ladies were all frightened... Hahaha. This son of mine will definitely do something extraordinary in the future , probably surpassing his father and grandfather!"

"Really?"

"That's natural! Can I still lie to you?"

Seeing the couple chatting happily, the old lady at the side hesitated to speak. The queen had just given birth and should be resting. Naturally, Liu Xi saw what she was thinking, so she didn't bother her any more, and let the queen rest well. She left with the child in her arms, but the court ladies did not allow the emperor to take the little guy out. The little guy was still too young, and it was too cold outside, so he couldn't just take the child out like this. Liu Xi had no choice but to take the child out for the sake of his safety. stayed.

After the emperor left, these court ladies dared to speak.

"I've been delivering babies for so many years, and I've never seen such a healthy baby."

The older woman at the side glanced at her disdainfully, "It's rare to see, but you haven't seen the appearance of Emperor Xiaoxian when he was just born."

Liu Xi was in a good mood and rewarded many eunuchs. The entire palace was extremely lively. The emperor walked into the Hall of Houde with a smile. Before too long, Princess Changling came with Princess Duyang , followed by Liu Di, the three of them walked in, Princess Changling and Liu Di respectfully greeted each other, but little Princess Duyang didn't care about this at all, and jumped into Liu Xi's arms.

"Oh, my little Du Yang is here!", Liu Xi embraced the eldest daughter, and couldn't help kissing her. The little guy sat in his arms seriously, and asked solemnly: "Father? brother?"

"Well, yes! A very cute younger brother!"

When Princess Du Yang heard this, her face was a little troubled. She opened her eyes wide and asked aggrievedly: "Then you don't love me anymore?"

"Hahaha, of course not, you are all my children, in the future, you can take the little one to play!"

Only then did Du Yang nod his head. Seeing that her complexion was still bad, Princess Changling laughed and said, "Don't worry, look, your second uncle is my brother, look at how your second uncle treats me. OK?"

Du Yang widened his eyes and asked, "Then can I treat my younger brother like my aunt?"

"Ah?" Chang Ling didn't respond.

Du Yang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "That's great, I see my aunt beating my second uncle every day, and I will have a younger brother in the future!"

Liu Xi cleared his throat, and looked at Changling with a complicated expression, "Changling, don't spoil her." Princess Changling blushed a little, and nodded, but Liu Di on the side didn't care. , smiled and said: "Brother, it's just a joke, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Xi nodded, and Princess Changling said with a smile: "I heard that we have a nephew, so I came to visit."

"Hahaha, yes, I'll take you to see it later, the little guy looks like you, Changling. When you were just born, you were just like him. It's so similar!"

Changling was very happy, it seems that this new born nephew is very beautiful and cute!

Liu Xi looked at the younger sister and younger brother who were growing up in front of him, and began to think in his heart, Liu Di should also be sealed, and Changling, don't worry, wait for me to find her a suitable husband, Liu Xi thought in his heart, but He didn't show it, and after chatting for a while, Liu Xi said, "Changling, you can take the little guy to see your nephew. I have something to talk to Erlang about."

Hearing Liu Xi's words, Chang Ling nodded, pulled the little guy and left Houde Hall.

Liu Di stood in front of his elder brother. For some reason, he was very afraid of his elder brother. He dared not get close to him on weekdays. His elder brother was obviously very gentle and approachable, but when he stood in front of him, he always made fun of him. It made him breathless. At this moment, standing alone in front of his brother, Liu Di also lowered his head, occasionally glancing at his brother. Liu Xi was silent for a long time, and Liu Di was even more nervous.

"Erlang, even if you have grown up, I can't bear it anymore, and I have to let you leave the palace and control a place by yourself."

Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Di was taken aback for a moment, and raised his head with a dazed expression. He knew that such a day would come, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly. Liu Xi stood up slowly, Walking to his side, the Son of Heaven put his hand on his shoulder, Liu Di trembled in fright, Liu Xi shook his head, and said, "You are my younger brother, don't be afraid that my father is not here, the elder brother is your father." .I haven't been able to be by your side all these years."

"Brother. Me."

"Okay, no need to say more."

"In these years, I haven't been by your side, and I don't know why, you are so afraid of me, but I still love you, just like Changling. You went to Taixue, the day you just went , do you still remember having a conflict with two students?"

"Well, I remember, they insulted grandpa, I couldn't help it"

"One of them is a child of Zhang Shangshu's family, and the other is a child of Xun's family. They have never been to Taiyuan Academy since then. Do you know why?"

"Because my elder brother ordered Taixue to sacrifice wine and expelled them all"

"No, because I killed them both." Liu Xi smiled, but what he said made people shudder. Liu Di was frightened, raised his head, and looked at his brother blankly again, Liu Xi said: "It stands to reason that for such a small matter, I shouldn't be so strict, but ah, no one in the world can bully my younger brother. If they dare to beat him, I will cut off their heads and send them to their homes .”

"Afterwards, you encountered some troubles, all of which were easily solved. Even Jijiu didn't dare to reprimand you. This is the benefit of killing two chickens."

"Erlang, now, I can no longer keep you by my side. You know that your nephew is born. I don't trust you, but there are still many traitors in the temple who are hostile to your brother, hehehe, In these years, I have been forbearance, watching these clowns perform in front of me. A few days ago, I liquidated a batch, and most of them hid and refused to show their faces. If you are still in the palace, I am afraid that those people will Can't sit still."

"Either force you to deal with me, or force me to fight each other"

"However, I won't treat you badly. Tell me, anywhere outside Luoyang, as long as you want, I will give it to you."

Liu Xi lowered his head and looked at Liu Di. Liu Di looked at him in a different way. He always felt that he was a forgotten child. Except for Changling, no one cared, no one paid attention, but today, he just I understand, it turns out that my elder brother has been silently protecting him, and even killed someone for him. At this moment, Liu Di's heart is warm, and the family affection he has been looking forward to for so long has always been by his side.

"It's okay, brother. I can go anywhere. If my brother needs it, I will go to Xizhou to guard the frontier. Me."

"Bullshit, Xizhou? Xizhou is guarded by the North and South Army, where are you going to suffer??" Liu Xi frowned, and reprimanded him, then lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said: "That's it, you Go to Xuzhou, I will give you Xiapi, and you will go to be the king of Xiapi. Xuzhou is rich, the climate is mild, and it is also very peaceful. Also, I see that the prose you have written these days is not bad. You are quite like a grandfather Wind"

"Well, you go to Xuzhou and open a poetry stage. I allow you to gather those poets, discuss literature and prose, and write articles, but you have to do it in a low-key manner, otherwise, other princes and kings will come to trouble me. Do you understand? "

Liu Di was very excited. Most of the princes and kings had to stay in the palace all day when they arrived in their fiefs. They could not go out or do anything. Unexpectedly, his elder brother could give him such a gift!

"Thank you brother! When do I leave?"

"Hehe, go see your aunt and bid farewell to the queen. Your nephew is right, father and mother, remember to go to pay respects too, and then, you can leave Luoyang..."

"Please!"
