Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 347 Stubbornness
"My lord, why are you standing in the yard?" The servant girl in the mansion suddenly saw his figure and was startled. Seeing him standing in the yard without saying a word or moving, Fushen asked a little terrified.

Fang Yan turned his face away, shook his head subconsciously, broke free from his thoughts, and walked up to the room.

There are only two ice basins in the upper room, which is not very cool, and the windows that are facing each other are half closed.Shen Xinniang was lying on the bed, she had already tidied up, her long hair was simply rolled up, and the blood had returned to her face, she was not as weak as before.

There was a small wooden bed next to the big bed. Shen Xinniang only looked up at him, then lowered her eyes to look at the small bed intently. In her black and white eyes, there was a gentleness about to drip water. Come.

He stepped forward quickly and bent over beside the crib.

But after a while, the little person on the bed seemed to grow a little longer.She closed her eyes contentedly, her small mouth was as rosy as a cherry.

"He fell asleep again?" Fang Yan asked softly.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "You woke up not long after you left, cried a few times, and then fell asleep again."

"It's nice to have such a small child, carefree and need not worry." Fang Yan said with a light smile.

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes, and saw that there was no strange color on his face, only those deep eyes seemed to be concentrating on something.Just as she was about to ask, the little person on the bed seemed to be woken up, moved his mouth, and opened his eyes.

"He's awake!" Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise, "These eyes are so big and beautiful. Did you hear that Daddy is back, so you're busy waking up to say hello to Daddy?"

Before Fang Yan finished speaking, the little guy opened his mouth wide and began to cry.

He really deserves to be born with a weight of nine catties, and his cry is extremely loud. If it weren't for the high beams in the palace, his loud cry would have knocked down the roof.

"This is him, what's the matter?" Fang Yan froze for a moment, standing by the bed in a daze, at a loss.

The nanny and the servant girl hurried forward, and before the prince could be moved aside, Shen Xinniang who was on the bed had already stretched out her hand to hug her son on the small bed.

He put his hand into the swaddle and touched it, "I've peed, bring the diaper and bedding, and change it."

The maidservant hurriedly laid out the things that needed to be replaced.

Shen Xiniang wanted to do it herself, but the nanny was nimble and said with a smile: "The princess is still in confinement, don't worry about this moment. The wife gave birth, and it will take two or three days to get out of bed. I have never seen a princess like this, recovering like this Fast!"

Shen Xinniang smiled lightly, but she didn't insist, the nanny changed the diapers of the little blanket, and Xiao Shizi stopped crying, but his mouth was still moving and his eyes were wide open, "I'm afraid Xiao Shizi is hungry. "

After the nanny finished speaking, she handed Xiao Shizi into Shen Xiniang's arms.

Shen Xinniang naturally lifted up her baggy clothes and nursed the child herself.

Fang Yan, who was standing on the side, was too shocked to speak, staring at the nanny, then at Shen Xinniang.

"The child is hungry, what's the use of asking the princess to feed it?" Fang Yan looked at the nanny displeased and asked.

The nanny was startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, forgive me... maidservant..."

"It's what I want," Shen Xinniang said with a smile while looking at the child in her arms lovingly, "It's okay, you can get up."

The nanny knelt on the ground and was still hesitating, but Jin Xiangdanxin stepped forward, helped the nanny on the ground, dragged her, and retreated to the outer room, leaving the inner room to the prince, concubine and the little prince.

Xiao Shizi sucked hard, his little face flushed a little.

Fang Yan looked at her hesitantly, "You don't have to feed it yourself, it's so hard and troublesome, since there is a nanny..."

"Fang Yan, this is our child." Shen Xinniang said slowly, "Why is it so hard and troublesome to raise our child? Look at me, do you seem to be very hard and tired?"

The tranquil smile on her face exudes the unique brilliance of motherhood. It is plumper than before, but it seems to have more charm than before.Fang Yan's heart throbbed when he looked at her.

"As a mother, it would be a very regrettable thing if I couldn't personally feed my child. Even though it might be a little tiring, but in retrospect, I have never lost anything between me and my child. This is the most perfect thing , the happiest." Shen Xinniang said very sincerely, "I know that you were born in the palace and left your mother when you were young. Many people who practice in Lingshan, in order not to affect their own practice, even if they have dual cultivation, they will not have children. .You left Lingshan and live among princes and nobles. You may not be able to accept my actions for a while, but I hope you can understand and understand my thoughts and feelings."

She spoke very slowly and sincerely, without any compulsion, as if she was discussing the matter.Although he knew that even if he objected, she would never change her ways.But her attitude is very comfortable, and she will not resist.Subconsciously, he had already approved of her approach.

He couldn't help but nodded slowly, and thought of the disputes in the court today.If the main goal of the war faction and the peace faction is to make the country rich and the people strong in Daliang, then there is a temporary contradiction, and it is not a contradiction that cannot be resolved fundamentally.If the two sides didn't start fighting with each other, but spoke slowly and patiently like Xin'er, would it still be possible to reconcile?
Fang Yan was lost in thought.

Shen Xinniang hissed fiercely, he came back to his senses and looked nervously.Shen Xinniang smiled slightly, "Will you bite before you have any teeth?"

It turned out that the son could not suck the milk, so he bit his mother hard with his gums that had not yet grown teeth.The little face was flushed from the exhaustion, but she didn't cry. After working hard for a while, she fell asleep unconsciously.

Shen Xinniang bent over and put him back on the small bed, gently rocked the small bed, and hummed the songs she heard in Lingshan when she was young in a soft voice.

After a while, when the child was breathing evenly, she withdrew her hand and stopped humming.

"Did the affairs of the court bother you?" Shen Xinniang looked up at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan bent over and sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to take her hand. Her hand was always a little cold no matter in winter or summer, but today it was warm and very soft.He shook his head slowly, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, as long as you and my son are well, I won't be nervous or flustered."

Shen Xinniang smiled and nodded, "I feel that my Taoism is recovering, and it will be very fast. So, don't worry, I will take care of myself and our children."

Fang Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing her determined gaze, he nodded in relief.

"You started thinking about the child's name early in the morning, but now you've thought about it?" Shen Xinniang asked, "Or do you have to wait until the child's full moon to think about it?"

Fang Yan pondered for a moment, "I had an idea early in the morning, but I was afraid that you would not like it."

"The name you want, how could I not like it?" Shen Xinniang tilted her head and looked at him, her black and white eyes were as beautiful as ever.

"It's desolate and desolate, you don't need to cry when you get married. I hope to win the hearts of the one and never leave each other." Fang Yan said, "Fang Li, do you like it?"

Shen Xinniang was slightly taken aback for a moment, then looked deeply at Fang Yan, Fang Li?Is it Li who never leaves each other with a white head, or Li who stays away from the turmoil of the world and leaves the court?She hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a light smile, "Fang Li, yes, I like it."

"Really like it?" Fang Yan looked at her seriously.

Shen Xinniang nodded again.Fang Yan smiled in relief.

The next day, Shen Xinniang was able to get out of bed, but the maid and nanny advised her to stay on the bed more, because she felt that she could get out of bed without being too tired.Confinement illnesses cannot be cured, and so on.Shen Xinniang felt that these were nothing to worry about for herself, but in order to prevent the people around her from worrying too much, she only walked a few steps beside the bed, stretched her muscles and bones, and then went back to lie on the bed obediently up.

After the court meeting the next day, Fang Yan ordered General Xie to come to the Hall of Qinzheng.

General Xie was the Minister of Gu Ming left by the late emperor to the emperor, and he was loyal to the late emperor. Presumably he has always opposed the negotiation with the Turks, but his temperament is similar to the late emperor's, stubborn and arrogant.If the late emperor was still alive, he would definitely not agree to negotiate peace with the Turks, even if it meant impoverishing Daliang, the late emperor would rather choose to conquest himself than accept the Turkic overtures.

But now that the Holy One is young, if he wants to accumulate more wealth for Daliang and strengthen Daliang's national power, so that after Daliang becomes strong, no foreigner will dare to provoke and covet Daliang at will, detours and strategies are necessary.

The strongest voice of opposition was General Xie. If General Xie could be persuaded, other people would have nothing to worry about.If he and General Xie could sit down calmly, discuss, analyze and talk slowly, maybe General Xie would not be so emotional?Is there room for negotiation on this matter?
Before General Xie came to Qinzheng Hall, Fang Yan thought so.

But after General Xie came, his thoughts faded a lot.General Xie's face was full of defense, as if he had already thought of what he was going to say, and his resisting posture was very obvious on his face.

Fang Yan did not give up, and still analyzed the current situation to him, and analyzed what is the most beneficial decision for Daliang Chaotang and the most beneficial for the people of Daliang.A decision in the temple is likely to be a great favor or a catastrophe to the common people.

If the war between Daliang and the Xiongnu continues like this, taxes will inevitably increase. When the taxes are not paid, and the people are not able to eat enough, Daliang is fundamentally poor and not stable at all.

However, General Xie had an attitude of closing his ears and listening, squinting his eyes, not looking at him at all, but looking elsewhere.It seems that talking about the people of Daliang can't touch him at all.

"Prince Qi, Xie doesn't know what detour is. Xie has lived a long life, doesn't know how to compromise, will not show weakness, and has always believed that the strong will win." General Xie said with a straight face and righteous words.

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Prince Qi, turned around and left.

This can be regarded as completely irreconcilable, Fang Yan shook his head lightly, it is really a headache to be stubborn.
