There are three fastest things in the world.
Lü Bu's Red Hare, Zhao Yun's gun, and a child's hand grabbing something.
But Lü Bu was not angry when his beard was caught. He let Grandson pull her beard like this. Instead, he touched her little face with his finger and said with a smile, "Good boy, call me grandpa."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah~"
But how could the child understand what he said? Instead, he plucked several of Lü Bu's beards hard, grinning in pain and almost jumping up.
At this time, Lü Lingqi and his mother Yan Shi were chatting nearby. They couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
Yan Shi shook his head and smiled, "Your father originally wanted to hug Grandson, but now that you have given birth to a daughter, he is very proud of you."
"By the way, have you decided on the child's name?"
Lü Lingqi smiled, nodded and said, "Your Majesty has already thought about it, and the name will be the word 'Sakura'."
"Your Majesty said that this word comes from "Chu Ci·Nine Chapters·Thoughts Beauty", which says: 'Fang and Ze are mixed together, and Qiang Yunzai comes out from the middle'."
Lü Lingqi doesn't understand the meaning of this word, but she likes the word "cherry" very much.
Eldest Princess Liu Ying.
Yan Shi nodded in praise after hearing this, "As expected of Your Majesty, the names that come to mind are all so nice, but your father can't think of such a nice name."
"When you were born, he planned to name you Lu Cuicui, but I thought it was too unpleasant, so I found a private school teacher to give you your current name."
Yan Shi told a story from Lü Lingqi's childhood.
Before Lü Lingqi could say anything, Lü Bu on the side said unhappily, "What's so bad about Cuicui? It's so smooth. You have to listen to that sour scholar's words about 'Lingqi'. It's hard to pronounce and not nice to hear. It's really a woman's opinion!"
After saying this with a straight face, Lü Bu looked at Liu Ying in the cradle with a kind expression.
"Good Grandson girl, is grandpa right?"
Liu Ying chuckled and plucked Lü Bu's beard.
Yan Shi was too lazy to talk to Lü Bu, looked around, and asked in a low voice, "Qi'er, why do I feel that after you gave birth to your daughter, Your Majesty didn't come to see you much?"
"Does Your Majesty mind this?"
Since ancient times, it has always been the mother who values her son.
Lü Lingqi gave birth to a princess instead of Imperial Prince. Yan Shi was worried that this would affect Son of Heaven's love for Lü Lingqi.
Lü Lingqi heard this and shook his head, defending Liu Xie: "Now that Move the Capital is around the corner, Your Majesty is busy with affairs, and the burden of national affairs is all on him, which is quite hard."
"But Your Majesty has never been less concerned about me. He will come to visit me when he has time. Don't worry, mother."
She never felt left out by Liu Xie.
Liu Xie handles government affairs until very late every day, but no matter how late it is, he will come to her place to take a look, and she always pretends to be asleep, so as not to make Liu Xie think that she is waiting for him to come back.
"That's good."
Yan Shi felt a little relieved after hearing this, then glanced at Liu Ying and said to Lü Lingqi, "You still have to work harder and give birth to a Imperial Prince for Your Majesty."
"Your father is already old. Although he has made great achievements, we Lü Family will eventually need someone to protect him in the future."
"If you can give birth to a Imperial Prince, then even if the child fails to become a prince and only becomes a prince, I, Lü Family, can still prosper, right?"
Chapter 423 Move the Capital Grand Sacrifice! The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth listen to it!
After all, the Grandson girl is not as good as Grandson, and the status of the princes and princesses is also very different, so Yan Shi hopes that Lü Lingqi can give birth to a son.
Of course, there is another reason: Lü Bu has never had any children. No matter how great the favor he enjoys now, he cannot inherit it. The family lacks a Load-Bearing Pillar.
It is also good to have Grandson to help and support Lü Family.
Lü Lingqi heard this and smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to be pregnant with Dragon Heir. Even if my mother urges me, I can't do anything."
Yan Shi was about to speak when he heard a baby crying from the side, and Lü Bu's panicked voice. "Ouch, why are you crying?"
"Grandpa didn't mean to scare you, don't cry, don't cry..."
Yan Shi raised his eyebrows, stood up and went to teach Lü Bu a lesson.
Inside the Qingli Palace, Liu Xie is personally feeding Zhen Mi medicine with a jade bowl.
Since Zhang Zhongjing entered the uterus to treat Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's Lung Disease has improved significantly, and the number of coughs has become much less than before.
"Well..."
Zhen Mi took a sip of the decoction, and her brows instantly knitted together. Before she could take a second sip, she couldn't help turning her head away and retched.
Liu Xie is already used to this situation.
Although the medicine prescribed by Zhang Zhongjing was good, it was extremely bitter. He almost spit it out after taking a bite. Even if he added a lot of honey to it, it was of little use.
In addition, Zhen Mi is now pregnant with Dragon Heir and has frequent morning sickness, so every time she takes medicine, it is a torture for her.
He gently patted Zhen Mi on the back, and after she got a little better, Liu Xie handed over a handkerchief, and then asked with concern, "My beloved, do you want to add a little more honey to the medicine?"
"No need, Your Majesty."
Zhen Mi's face was slightly pale, but he shook his head when he heard this and said, "Good medicine is bitter in taste and good for the disease. Mister Zhang said that honey is cold in nature and eating too much will be detrimental to my concubine's condition."
"Concubine... just take it easy."
Liu Xie had no choice but to put down the jade bowl, took a handkerchief from the hand of the palace maid next to him, and gently wiped the corners of Zhen Mi's mouth.
Seeing his careful and considerate look, Zhen Mi couldn't help but be moved by it.
Liu Xie, as Son of Heaven, has a lot to deal with every day, but he still comes to visit her without hesitation, and even takes charge of small things like feeding her medicine.
How could she not be touched by such meticulous care?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty We still have to put state affairs first. My concubine's condition has improved a lot, so there is no need for Your Majesty to worry about her like this."
Of course she hopes that Liu Xie can always be by her side, but she understands that national affairs are much more important than the love of her children, and she cannot delay Liu Xie because of herself and let him get the reputation of being addicted to Imperial Harem's beauty.
"Why, can't I take care of state affairs and my beloved concubine at the same time?"
Liu Xie smiled and teased Zhen Mi, and at the same time said calmly and pretentiously, "My beloved, you still underestimate me. With my ability, I can handle government affairs easily without any delay."
Hearing this, Zhen Mi rolled his eyes at him slightly and said, "Your Majesty is good at telling lies. Your Majesty clearly left all government affairs to Attendant Sima and Minister Zhuge to handle, so Your Majesty is so idle."
Being exposed on the spot by Zhen Mi, Liu Xie's expression suddenly froze.
However, as Son of Heaven, he still wanted to save face, so he said forcefully, "I am here to train my ministers' abilities and give them a chance to perform."
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Xuan Room and ask all of you dear ones to see if any of them are unwilling to work overtime. This is their blessing. Do you understand the blessing?"
Seeing Liu Xie blushing, Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled.
In fact, she was just talking.
Liu Xie Although ministers are asked to assist in handling government affairs, many decisions still have to be made personally, and occasionally they are still busy until late, but it is just not as hard as before.
"Your Majesty, Zhen Clan... how are you doing now?"
After teasing, Zhen Mi couldn't help but ask about the Zhen Clan's current situation. She stopped paying attention to her since the last time.
Therefore, she did not know how Liu Xie dealt with the Zhen Clan.
Liu Xie put the jade bowl aside and said, "Your brother took the initiative to Confess Guilt, and several of the principal culprits in the Burn the Imperial Envoy case also committed suicide. I don't think Zhen Clan will continue to pursue it because of his past merits."
"I have sent all the Zhen Clan people back to their place of origin, but confiscated most of the Clan Assets above and below the Zhen Clan. However, I still use the Zhen Clan people to run these industries."
Liu Xie did not hide anything and told Zhen Mi what he had done with the Zhen Clan.
To embezzle a huge amount of property, Burn the Imperial Envoy, and commit such a big case, according to Law, the whole family must be executed plus Clan Extermination, but just killing the main culprit and confiscating Clan Assets is already extremely tolerant.
Of course, the main reason is that Zhen Yi recognizes faces, and Zhen Clan has Merit of Supporting the Dragon with him.
Otherwise, this matter will never be resolved easily.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."
Knowing that Zhen Clan was saved, Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
Zhen Clan is her kin after all, and she does not want to see Zhen Clan fall into the position of being Clan Extermination. Just losing power and Wealth and Honor is the best result.
Liu Xie did not continue to talk about this topic, but said, "The capital will be moved back to Chang'an soon, and I will also go back then."
"However, my beloved, your body is not fully recovered yet, so you should continue to stay at Ye City to recuperate, and then go to Chang'an after Dragon Heir is born."
"This is also the suggestion of these two gentlemen."
Zhen Mi is sick and pregnant again.
It's really not suitable for long journeys.
He asked Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, and they both suggested that it would be best for Zhen Mi to temporarily stay at Ye City for training, as this would be the safest option.
"I will listen to Your Majesty's arrangements."
Although Zhen Mi felt deeply disappointed, he also knew that Liu Xie was doing this for her own good, so he meekly agreed.
Liu Xie stroked her cheek and said, "Don't worry, my dear, by the time you return Chang'an, the world will be at peace."
"Come, drink the medicine."
Zhen Mi nodded slightly, took the jade bowl from Liu Xie's hand, and drank all the soup inside.
As the days go by.
Move the Capital day is coming soon.
Move the Capital Chang'an, this is an extraordinary event. Imperial Court has been preparing for this Move the Capital for a full half a year.
Within the Imperial Palace, Bedchamber.
Liu Xie is changing the dragon robe Ceremonial Robe and Crown under the service of Guo Nüwang and other maids.
At this time Kong Rong walked into Bedchamber, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, you can go to Southern Suburbs to worship heaven."
Liu Xie turned around when he heard this, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Kong Aiqing."
Looking at the majestic Son of Heaven in front of him, who was wearing a red and black dragon robe, Kong Rong couldn't help but be slightly startled. When he came to his senses, his eyes were red.
