Farmers have children to raise

Chapter 430 Family
As soon as Baochun walked to the door, he saw Sun Ping coming out.

"Princess, are you here?" Sun Ping rushed forward and saluted.

Baochun looked in, "Where's the emperor?"

"Still discussing matters with the ministers." Sun Ping said.

Baochun looked up at the sky, "Isn't lunch still available?"

Sun Ping said, "No, I guess I won't be able to leave for a while, and I won't go to dinner when I'm not busy. The emperor just has this habit. I have said it many times, but I just don't listen."

Baochun couldn't help muttering, "I'm so old, I don't know how to pay attention, I really think of myself as a young guy."

Sun Ping put his fist on his mouth, resisting the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Then I'll sit with Concubine De and come back later." Baochun said.

"How about I go and report it?" Sun Ping hesitated.

"Don't bother them, I have nothing to do, just come to say hello, political matters are important." Baochun said.

But as soon as she turned around, the emperor's voice came from inside the room, "Sun Ping, who is outside?"

Sun Ping hurriedly raised his voice and responded, "It's Princess Anping..."

"Then why don't you hurry in and dawdle outside." The emperor's urging voice came from inside again.

Baochun had no choice but to turn around and follow Sun Ping in.

After entering, I saw a room full of ministers, including Xie Jiming's father, Grand Tutor Xie, Gu Pangping, and almost all the important officials in the court.

Baochun first saluted the emperor's father.

The emperor happily came out from behind the table, looked behind her, "Did the little guy follow?"

Baochun said, "Here it comes. As soon as he entered the palace, the big hairy man ran out and he went after him. At this moment, people don't know where he is. After a while, he will come back by himself."

She looked at the adults around her, "You discuss state affairs, I'd better come back later."

"It's okay." Liu Chen said, "Anyway, we can't discuss anything today."

All the ministers in the hall rushed forward to greet Baochun.

Baochun returned the gift.

Liu Chen took a seat on the chair below, let Baochun sit on his left, ordered people to serve tea, and greeted everyone, "My lords, sit too."

The adults are seated again.

Liu Chen said to his daughter, "After a while, it will be the most troublesome time on the border. The gang of birds in Beiwu specially choose these times every year to bring troops to burn, kill and loot, making the people on the border miserable and miserable. We are discussing how to deal with deployment."

"Is it like this every year?" Baochun asked casually.

"Almost without exception, this gang of bandits would just rob and leave. It's almost impossible to defend against. Besides, it would be unrealistic if the borders were filled with strong soldiers. Not to mention that there are not so many soldiers in Dayong, and the military resources are too expensive. The imperial court can't afford it, so they can only send heavy troops, focusing on defending those important checkpoints and towns, and also estimate their attack routes, deploying more troops along the way..."

When Liu Chen was talking to his daughter, all the adults around were shocked.

The emperor attached great importance to Princess Anping beyond their imagination.

He even talked casually about major national affairs without shy away from it. Is this to allow the princess to participate in political affairs in the future?
Although it is not impossible for women to participate in politics, they are still rare. It happened hundreds of years ago. Could it be that they will have one in the Great Rong Dynasty?
Of course, some stubborn old pedants will firmly object.

However, most people didn't look down on her. Her talents and abilities were obvious to all, and she saved Darong from crisis many times, which was no less than anyone sitting here.

However, it is inappropriate for women to participate in politics and work with women in the same dynasty.

Just looking at Princess Anping's reaction, they knew they were thinking too much.

People just listened to it, and did not express any comments or opinions on this, so it can be seen that they have no ambitions in this regard.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also understood the fact that this master can't afford to offend, not only can't afford to offend, but also try her best to please her, that is to please their immediate boss, the emperor.

"Sun Ping, is it time to eat?" The emperor asked Manager Sun next to him.

Sun Ping said, "It's overdue, I reminded you twice."

"Order the meal, prepare more, and eat more when Xiaojiu's child is growing up." Liu Chen instructed.

"The emperor doesn't give orders, and I know that." Sun Ping said, didn't you see that every time the little guy was served a big bowl.

After Sun Ping went out, Liu Chen said to the adults, "My lords, go back and think about it carefully, and we will discuss it tomorrow. Let's break up first."

The adults hurriedly bid farewell and left.

Liu Chen suddenly stopped Mrs. Xie.

Grand Tutor Xie asked respectfully, "Does the Emperor have any instructions for this old minister?"

The emperor seemed to mention it casually, "I heard that your son is engaged to that girl Lan Xiang?"

Grand Tutor Xie was stunned for a moment, probably not knowing why the emperor mentioned this matter, "Exactly."

"Young man Xie has vision. I know that girl Lan Xiang is a kind and righteous girl whose ability cannot be ignored. She helped Princess Anping take care of all the affairs of the medical hall manor. Needless to say, the housekeeper , besides being able to go to the battlefield, she can be regarded as a generation of strange women."

Mrs. Xie nodded yes.

The emperor said again, "When it's time for the wedding, I will prepare a dowry for her..."

Grand Tutor Xie was busy thanking her, and at the same time she understood in her heart that the emperor was beating their family and not bullying others. The child was born as a girl, and she has a backer behind her.

He thought to himself, who dares to bully that brat at home who cries, makes troubles and hangs himself like a shrew at every turn.

After everyone left, Baochun explained his intention to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor just sighed, probably knowing that he couldn't stop it, "Since you have made up your mind, then go, but you must take care of yourself, everything else comes second, if you have something, father also……"

Baochun nodded, "You don't have to worry, this time with Mr. Xunyang, this person's supernatural powers seem to be not small, so there won't be any big problems."

Speaking of Xunyang, Liu Chen frowned, "This person has the ability to rule the world, and the surrounding countries want to recruit him, but I haven't seen him favoring that country in recent years. Don’t dare to act rashly and force him.”

"He came to Dayong. Originally, I wanted to keep him no matter what. Otherwise, once such a capable man is used by other countries, it will undoubtedly increase the external threat to Dayong. The most fearful thing is that he will be recruited by Beiwu. Beiwu has always been eyeing Dayong, trying to destroy it, but they are not sure about annihilating it in one fell swoop, so they dare not act rashly, if they add him, Beiwu will be like a tiger with wings, and it will be a disaster for Dayong."

Baochun said, "I've tried him out, and he seems to be born on purpose during his trip to Beiwu..."

"What?" Liu Chen's eyes widened suddenly, "He was indeed recruited by Beiwu. Last time he refused to meet, I knew he had no intention of making me prosperous. Hey, I want to ask for it. But he has no intention, no, we can't let him fall into Beiwu, even if it is destroyed..."

Baochun picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water, "We haven't reached that point yet. Through my observations, this person is not a person who is greedy for fame and fortune, and his vision is not limited to a certain country. He has a big picture in mind... ..."

Liu Chen straightened his body and looked at his daughter.

"He seems to be interested in helping the prince of Beiwu. The prince of Beiwu is not as powerful as Han Xiao. Because of the interest groups behind him, the two sides are in the same situation. Moreover, from the last fight, Han Xiao is very advocating to attack me. It's not as hot as her. If Xunyang helps the prince to become a great treasure, it may not be a bad thing. Even if he Beiwu will attack our court in the future, it is foreseeable that he will not in a short time. This will win me great glory It’s time for growth.” Bao Chun analyzed.

Liu Chen got up, walked back and forth in the hall twice, then put down his cup, "If he is really helping the prince, then you can leave it alone, if..."

Bao Chun said, "I believe he won't, but if he is really on the side of Bei Wu to attack my Dayong, I will find a way to get rid of him..."

Liu Chen said, "Forget it, you don't need to worry about these things, let's talk about it when it comes to an end. You're pregnant with a child now, it's best not to get bloody, it's unlucky. If Mr. Xunyang is as you said, he probably won't help the evildoers."

Baochun nodded.

Liu Chen's eyes were a little red, "When you leave, Father will not see you off."

Baochun said, "After I'm gone, you should pay more attention to your body..."

The meal was set, the father and daughter walked to the dining table while talking, after a while, Xiaojiu came over, Liu Chen hugged his grandson and kissed him for a while, took the handkerchief, wiped his hands and face for the little guy himself, hugged him By his side, he brought the little guy's favorite dishes.

The little guy ran all morning, his stomach was exhausted, his head was buried in the sea bowl, and he didn't even lift his head when he was eating. Liu Chen watched from the side with his heart swollen, his eyes moist and soft.

Halfway through the meal, Liu Jing came.

Liu Chen ordered someone to add a seat, and greeted him, "Just eat together, let's have a good meal together as a family like ordinary people."

The palace man brought over a chair, and Liu Jing sat down in response.

After the palace change, this was the first time the two brothers and sisters had met, and they were both a little embarrassed and at a loss. The two who knew each other very well didn't know what to say.

Liu Chen took a look at the two of them with chopsticks and vegetables for Xiaojiu, and said to Liu Jing, "You child, why didn't you say a word when you saw your sister? Didn't you care about her very much before? You still knelt outside to plead for her? Father The emperor is very pleased, probably because of some unknown reason, he loves his sister so much without knowing it..."

Liu Jing hung his head and didn't answer.

Baochun was also very embarrassed. It would be great if Liu Jing only had brother-sister affection for her. Afraid that the emperor's father would see something, she called out to Liu Jing opposite, "Second brother." Take care and the like.

Liu Chen was very happy to see his daughter and son get along well, "Your aunt He Ning and I, although we are not the same mother, but we are like one mother. These years, the emperor has made your aunt worry less. , have brothers and sisters to support each other, and you will not fall down easily when you encounter difficulties."

Liu Jing took a deep look at Baochun, "I will do my best to protect her."

Liu Chen patted his son's shoulder appreciatively, "That's right, my sister is for taking care of."

Liu Jing's expression was always numb, and he almost never looked at Baochun directly.

It was Xiaojiu next to him who put down the empty big bowl, and interjected, "Does it need to be said? My future sister will be mine, and I must protect her."

Liu Jing glanced at Baochun.

Liu Chen, who didn't notice the difference in his son's expression, teased his grandson, "How do you know that your mother is pregnant with a younger sister? If it's a younger brother?"

"My younger brother is also mine, so my people will naturally protect me." Xiao Jiu glanced at his mother's stomach and said as a matter of course.

Liu Chen smiled and said, "Then what if your father beats him?"

Baochun's mouth twitched, should the emperor's father say that he is still a child at heart or a provocateur?Even Liu Jing couldn't help but look sideways.

He only listened to Xiaojiu thinking about it but didn't want to say, "Of course I beat him back, he never wants to touch my people."

"Okay." Liu Chen gloated and said good, which attracted the attention of Baochun and Liu Jing.

Liu Chen hurriedly coughed and lowered his head, "Grandpa Huang will serve you the meal."
