Chapter 377 Harem
While basking in the sun, Levi could hear the sounds of his young son and grandchildren playing around. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and enjoy himself. The pain in his swollen legs seemed to have eased a little.
He had given up hope for these legs. The imperial doctors all shook their heads with solemn expressions on their faces. This was a chronic disease that had existed for thousands of years and could not be cured.
However, as time went by, he felt that his life was constantly draining away. Although he was only in his fifties, he was already old and could hardly continue to write, let alone practice martial arts.
I really don’t have any big regrets in my life.
How many old people can see their son restore the glory of his ancestors, become the emperor, and honor himself as the Supreme Emperor. Even though many people talk about him being a thief, Li Wei is extremely disdainful:
As Miao descendants of the Tang Dynasty, the whole world originally belonged to our Li family. This is called returning an object to its original owner, returning a complete jade to Zhao. Why is it called stealing?
Even if he dies now, there will be no regrets. He is worthy of his ancestors, but he will never see his youngest son grow up again.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's wrong with you?" A childish voice came to his ears. Li Wei looked up and saw his granddaughter Li Weier blinking her bright eyes and asking coquettishly.
"It's nothing, Ye Ye is sleeping. The sun is so comfortable. I haven't seen such good weather for a long time, and Ye Ye's legs don't hurt much anymore!"
Li Wei said with a smile, he was also happy about this found baby girl. From his father himself, plus Li Jia, in the three generations, no woman was born. It would be fine if they were all men.
However, he did not have many heirs. He only had one brother who was a concubine, and he only had two sons, which was already considered very meager.
The concubine's brother did have several sons, but no daughters. When the eldest son Li Jia picked up a baby girl who had escaped from a crocodile, he recognized her.
On the one hand, if there are no daughters for several generations, the lonely sun will not last long. If there is a daughter, it can be considered more balanced.
Secondly, in Yongzhou and Jianwu Town, many barbarians and Shuman worshiped the ferocious crocodile, and many Han people were also affected. Regarding its inclusion among other gods, the fact that this baby girl could escape from the crocodile's mouth shows that it is extremely extraordinary.
.
In Emperor Li's heart, Li Weier's contribution to the restoration of the Tang ancestral temple and the state of the Li family has made things better for the Li family.
Emperor Li felt that he had a deeper understanding of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, and what those Taoist priests said made some sense.
"I'll give Yeye a pounding, and it won't hurt anymore!" But Li Weier, who was over three years old, was very sensible and looked distressed.
"It's okay, yeah, it's okay!" Li Wei touched his long, silky hair and said with a smile.
"Aye, aye!" The second brother, who was almost five years old, hurriedly ran to his father, looked at his niece, tilted his head in boredom, and ran away again, waving the stick as if he was
General general.
After a while, a simple and honest man walked in with a look of joy on his face. When he saw Emperor Li Taishang lying on the lounge chair and sunbathing, he couldn't help but knelt down and said: "Master, Emperor Li, happy event, happy event, your husband is back."
Yes, the saint is back!"
"An Guo, what did you say?" Li Wei's body was shaken. He even had the urge to stand up on his own, and his cheeks were trembling.
He looked at his steward's son, Li Anguo, who was now the imperial envoy, and said with some disbelief:
"Is this true?"
"Seriously, seriously, when did Anguo deceive you, sir? Lang Jun's messenger sent a message, saying that Luan Jia has arrived in Yingzhou, and will arrive in Panyu in two or three days at most!" Anguo said with a smile, he
It’s still hard to change my tune. I’m used to calling Panyu, but Guangzhou is really ugly.
"Eldest brother is back. It's good to be back!" Emperor Li patted his chest to help himself breathe more evenly. He couldn't die now. He would definitely not die before his son came back soon.
"Quickly, spread this news to the harem!" The Supreme Emperor casually ordered: "Let everyone be happy!"
"No—" the eunuch on the side agreed quickly.
Li Bin, Hou Liniang, she was lying on the bed with a brazier burning beside her, her belly was already bulging, she said lazily:
"Move this brazier, it's a little hot!"
"Yes -" the maid quickly moved the brazier half a foot away with a respectful look on her face.
There is deep envy and jealousy hidden in the eyes of Empress Li who is lying on the bed. If she is pregnant, if she is the prince, Li Concubine will probably be promoted to Concubine Li, and her status in the palace will be greatly improved.
cut.
How delicious it would be if I were favored by the emperor!
"Your Majesty, what a happy event, what a happy event!" At this time, a young eunuch ran into the palace and shouted.
"Pa--" The little eunuch received a slap from the nanny, and his eyes seemed to be eating people: "If you shock the empress, you won't be able to afford the compensation if I get cut into pieces!"
"Yes!" the little eunuch said timidly.
"What's the news!" This is not Hou Liniang's first pregnancy. She is already experienced and does not panic when things happen. She will ask experienced mothers and her mood is adjusted well. Her son Tieniu comes to visit from time to time and is naturally well cared for.
.
"Mother, the saint is coming back soon. He has already arrived in Yingzhou and will arrive in Guangzhou in the next few days!" the young eunuch whispered, not daring to raise his head.
"Really?" Hou Liniang was overjoyed. It was really good news to be able to see the emperor before giving birth:
"With the blessing of Bodhisattva, Your Majesty has returned successfully!"
"Come here, please prepare some pastries that the saint likes to eat. When you come back, the saint must be very greedy..."
Concubine Yu, Jiang Xiaoyu.
Her belly has also grown quietly. She has been pregnant for many months, but the figure in her heart has not appeared. She is a little sad, and her chin is pointed. The nun sent by the Crown Princess is also very anxious. If this is nothing but a mistake, she will not be able to accept it.
.
"Auntie, just eat a little. I really can't afford to be a servant!" Looking at the dishes on the table that were not touched at all, Mammy saw this in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She said softly:
"Your Majesty, you'd better eat a little. If His Majesty comes back, he will feel very sad to see you like this!"
"What? Your Majesty is back?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, and the tired look disappeared. She looked at the nanny and asked quickly:
"Your Majesty, when did you arrive? Where are you?"
"This..." Grandma was speechless for a moment. Did I say that the emperor is back? Didn't he tell me? Could it be that the empress is hearing hallucinations? What should I do?
"Your Majesty will be back soon..." This is when Mammy suddenly heard such a voice in her ears. It was very small, and she was a little unsure.
"It must be, it must be!" Jiang Xiaoyu felt much better instantly and her appetite increased.
Then, a little palace maid came in and said breathlessly:
Chapter completed!
