Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Perhaps, in this era where sons are valued over daughters, no one has ever celebrated the birth of a daughter like Li Ji did.

Maybe he simply loves his daughter, or wants to make Cai Zhaoji feel at ease, or maybe there is some other deeper meaning...

However, Liu Bei had no intention of investigating the matter further, nor did he intend to dissuade Li Ji.

Instead, on the basis of Li Ji's distribution of maltose in the name of the Marquis of Guoshi's Mansion to celebrate, Liu Bei added fuel to the fire in the name of the Governor's Mansion, so that the entire Wu County and even the entire Yangzhou could share in the joy of the Marquis of Guoshi's birth of his daughter.

Then, he watched Li Ji coaxing little Li Xi while continuing to comfort Cai Zhaoji.

Liu Bei did not step forward, but simply pulled Li Xiang, who was looking at the happy family of three with a bit of longing but seemed unable to get involved, away, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Xiang'er, Zikun is comforting your mother now, let's go outside."

"Yes, uncle."

Li responded and obediently let Liu Bei pull him away, looking back every few steps, hoping that his father would be able to call him back in time.

Unfortunately, Li Ji's heart is now almost filled with Cai Zhaoji and Li Xi, and even Liu Bei has temporarily ignored them, not to mention Li Xiang, who usually behaves quite sensible.

As the saying goes: The crying child gets the milk.

Li Xiang usually left Li Ji with the impression of being too sensible and easy to take care of, so Li Ji subconsciously felt that Li Xiang would know how to take good care of himself.

On the contrary, Liu Bei, who had always liked and valued Li Xiang, noticed some of Li Xiang's inner depression, so he coaxed Li Xiang patiently.

Liu Bei, who came from a humble background and was proficient in selling shoes and weaving mats, also possessed some skills that normal powerful people did not have.

Just a piece of cloth and a few twigs can be woven into all kinds of interesting things in Liu Bei's hands.

After all, Li Xiang was still a child at heart. Even though he was a little depressed because he was ignored by his father and mother, he was easily diverted by Liu Bei.

"Look, Xiang'er, what does this look like?"

Seeing the little skills Liu Bei displayed, Li Xiang's eyes lit up. "Is this a fierce tiger? Uncle is so powerful!"

Before this, although Liu Bei also regularly took time to tease Li Xiang and A Dou, Liu Bei was quite busy on weekdays, so naturally he had never had the opportunity to show off this skill.

With Liu Bei's current status, there are countless people who flatter him, and Liu Bei does not like such flatterers.

However, Liu Bei was quite pleased with Li Xiang's praise. He simply tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, broke off some branches and grass nearby, and continued to weave things into other shapes while speaking with some pride.

"Maybe your uncle is not as good as your father in other aspects, but Zikun is not as proficient as me in this skill..."

This time, what Liu Bei weaved was an eagle. The torn strips of cloth served as its wings, and at a glance it really had the charm of flying high.

As Liu Bei handed the woven eagle to Li Xiang, he said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, it has been a long time since my uncle has knitted these things. Back then, this was the means by which my uncle made a living. I didn't expect that now it can be used to amuse Xiang Er, which is not bad."

"Thank you uncle."

The feeling of being valued by Liu Bei made Li Xiang happily accept Liu Bei's gift.

Liu Bei said with a smile. "Speaking of which, Xiang'er is the only one who can get this gift, not even Adou."

"Is there no Adou either?" Li Xiang asked with a blink.

"Uncle doesn't usually have the leisure to do this." Liu Bei replied disapprovingly, his words revealing a bit of neglect and dissatisfaction towards Adou.

Compared with the precocity shown by Li Xiang, Liu Bei was naturally somewhat dissatisfied with Adou's clarity and dullness.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang answered without hesitation, "Then I will give one to Adou, so that Adou and I can each have one."

Liu Bei was slightly startled, and then an increasingly intense smile and love appeared on his face.

Dear brothers and sisters!

"Zi Kun has indeed given birth to a good son. It is a blessing for my son Adou to have Xiang'er as his brother."

Liu Bei couldn't help but admire Li Xiang's reaction.

After Li Ji comforted Cai Zhaoji for a while, the already exhausted Cai Zhaoji calmed down a little and fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.

Then, Li Ji handed Xiao Xier to Li Shu and Li Qin for temporary care, and then he had time to deal with other matters.

After Li Ji entertained his father-in-law Cai Yong, who looked inexplicably unhappy, he hurried to find Liu Bei.

Li Ji looked at Liu Bei who seemed to be teasing Li Xiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and apologize.

"I am sorry for my rudeness to you, my lord. Please forgive me."

"Well, today Zikun has a new daughter. This is a happy event. There is no need to be so polite." Liu Bei replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji did not seem to insist.

Even though Li Ji has always been careful to fulfill his duties as a subject, after years of getting along, the two sides know each other very well, and the way they get along in private is undoubtedly like close friends.

Li Ji also noticed the tiger and eagle in Li Xiang's hands, which made Li Ji raise his eyebrows slightly.

Liu Bei didn't have many hobbies in his spare time. He would often make straw sandals and give them to close people such as Li Ji, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei as gifts.

However, not just anyone is qualified to make Liu Bei do it personally.

Perhaps Liu Bei always urged himself to be benevolent, but it does not mean that there is no distinction between close and distant people in his heart. Only for those who are extremely close to him, would Liu Bei weave things and give them personally regardless of their status.

"Xiang'er seems to be really liked by the master..."

Li Ji said this secretly, but on the surface he pretended to be serious and scolded Li Xiang for being ignorant and disturbing Liu Bei, and then asked Li Xiang to go back to study.

After Li Xiang politely bowed to Li Ji and Liu Bei respectively and left, Li Ji invited Liu Bei to sit in the main hall.

Naturally, Li Ji had been informed by his servants about the fact that Liu Bei had sent people to deliver a large amount of supplements and rare medicinal materials to the Guoshihou Mansion.

In this regard, Li Ji did not decline Liu Bei's kindness.

The supplements and rare medicinal materials in the Guoshihou Mansion are far inferior to the rare items collected by Liu Bei, and it is not certain whether Zhao Ji can really use them now.

Therefore, after Li Ji thanked Liu Bei, his tone became slightly serious and he returned to the main topic.

Before this, Zhao Ji was about to give birth, and Li Ji was worried, so he asked Liu Bei for leave.

But in fact, Liu Bei's group today naturally cannot do without Li Ji, especially when Yangzhou was just being settled and the transformation of the family was about to begin, so countless matters needed to be decided by Li Ji himself. (End of this chapter)
