Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 769
"Father."

Little Liu Rong raised his head, his expression was a little excited and a little scared.

He stood beside his mother, his height was less than the other's waist, his big eyes were always looking at the elder father who had never met in front of him, blinking and blinking.

Liu Heng lowered his head and looked at his grandson.

The coldness on Liu Heng's face gradually disappeared, showing a smile, bent down, and stretched out his arms. Li Ji stood aside, with a somewhat unnatural expression, and hurriedly pushed the child, and Liu Rong walked to Liu Heng's room. Beside him, Liu Heng picked him up and started teasing him with a smile.

Li Ji felt that she might have gotten into trouble.

Facing this father-in-law whom he had never met before, his words just now were likely to be heard by the other party. If this left a bad impression on the other party, wouldn't it delay his great event of becoming a queen?
However, judging by the appearance of this father-in-law, he really likes the child. Maybe he can help him determine the position of the queen by saying a few good words!

Li Ji's appearance is really good, and she can compete with Mrs. Qi who is beside Emperor Gao. After she became Liu Qi's wife, she gave birth to Liu Qi's eldest son, and Liu Qi's queen has no children until now. At first, she was more responsible. Yes, but after giving birth to her second child, she couldn't sit still.Especially when all kinds of rumors were rampant in the palace that Liu Qi was going to hand over her eldest son to the queen to be raised and take the queen as his mother.

In fact, there is no need to raise them. These children will all be mothered by the queen. As long as there is a queen, her biological mother will stand aside.

But Li Ji was very unconvinced, why should my child be someone else's son?

Why can she continue to be a queen if she can't have a single child, but she can only be a negligible concubine after giving birth to two sons?

But at this moment, Liu Qi's complexion is quite ugly. Liu Qi seldom cares about things very much, but there is one thing that he cares about his father's opinion and evaluation of him. He originally wanted to show his face in front of his old father , As a result, when Li Ji came, he made his butt exposed instead, which made Liu Qi extremely angry, and the way he looked at Li Ji became a little strange, and he didn't even have much love for his son.

Liu Heng was still teasing his grandson calmly, "Just leave the child with me, I will leave in a few days."

Li Ji was overjoyed, "Rong! Don't make your father angry! Be obedient! Got it?!"

Liu Rong trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "I see."

Seeing his grandson's scared face, Liu Heng couldn't help squinting his eyes again, glanced at Liu Qi, turned and left.

Li Ji was very happy, and walked to Liu Qi's side, "Father seems to really like Rong."

Liu Qi gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"What else can I do? Of course I want to come and see you. If you don't look at you for a day, you will be seduced by those people. In just a few years, you have recruited three people. That Cheng Ji, you Don't look at the one who is respectful to you on the bright side, what do you think she is good? There are also those surnamed Tang and Jia, what else can they do besides flattering the queen? I am still watching, If it weren't for me, I really don't know how many people you want to admit?!"

When Li Ji talked about these things, she was full of anger.

In the past, she shared Liu Qi with the queen, and Liu Qi often ran towards her, but now, with many enemies around her, Liu Qi didn't come to her very often, obviously she was the one who gave birth to her son!

Liu Qi took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he looked at the direction where his father was leaving and held back.

"You shouldn't have come. My father came to Xiting Kingdom. I have important matters to deal with with him. At this time, it is very rude for you to come and disturb me."

"I'm not a disrespectful person. If you weren't looking for those beauties everywhere, how could I come to you? This is not a place to talk. Let's go back and talk. De just fell asleep, and this guy is getting more and more noisy now. , crying all day"

Li Ji stepped forward to tug Liu Qi, but she couldn't do it at all.

Liu Qi's gaze was serious and he remained motionless.

"You go back first."

"Today, I'm going to the queen's place."

Liu Qi pulled Li Ji's hand away, turned around and left here. Li Ji stood there, trembling with anger, raised her hand angrily, and wanted to curse at Liu Qi, but nothing Couldn't tell.

Liu Qi's queen is not surnamed Lu.

Of course, if the surname is Lu, it is unlikely that a concubine will be bullied to such an extent. I am afraid that Li Ji has already drank wine. Therefore, she became Liu Qi's queen.The reason why he didn't give him a Lu surname was because Empress Lu didn't think it was necessary, probably because of Bao Ji's face, Empress Lu still cared about this half of her girlfriends and didn't interfere with her choice.

Bo Ji's eyes are still very good. The queen she selected is kind, without airs, and has a kind of virtuousness in her bones, but what Bo Ji did not expect is that this queen can't bear children. She followed Liu Qi for so long , there was no sign of pregnancy at all. Liu Qi was very scared at first, not knowing what was going on, but later he and Li Ji had a child, and everyone immediately understood.In this day and age, infertility is simply a great crime.

It is even a crime that can abolish the post in a fair manner, and no minister can object to it.

It's just because for the royal family, heirs are too important. If there are no heirs, they will be expelled from the country. No one can allow their own inheritance to be inherited by no one in the end.

Queen Bo's appearance is not as good as Li Ji, or even other beauties. Because of the troubles of these years, she has become more and more haggard, and her eyes are dull. Having a son elsewhere, he became more and more indifferent to her.That is because the old lady is still there, and her queen position cannot be moved, and Bo Ji probably knows in her heart that when the old man is gone, she is afraid that she will be abolished.

When Liu Qi came suddenly, Bo Ji didn't have any surprise in her eyes, but was a little surprised.

The husband and wife were sitting on the bed, and Liu Qi didn't know what to say. He hadn't been here for a long time. Just now, he was just angry with Li Ji. He hated Li Ji very much, but he couldn't stand it. In just a few years, two sons were born in succession, and Liu Qi only had these two sons. Two sons are still not enough for the clan. In this era where the premature death rate is exploding , Eight sons are about the same. People like Liu Chang are considered young married and have few children. They only have four sons.

Liu Qi was mostly patient with Li Ji, probably because of her ability to bear a son. Liu Qi's other wives and concubines have not moved at all, maybe this Li Ji can give him another one.

Liu Qi lives in this great Northwest, and is inevitably influenced by the local atmosphere. People in this place firmly believe in the destiny, and believe that having children is determined by the fate of women, and some women just have more sons.

"My father is here, and I will take you to visit tomorrow."

"Um"

The queen responded with a sad look.

Liu Qi was silent for a while, before he said: "Li Ji, this woman, I have tolerated her for a long time, but today, she said a lot of things that I don't want to hear in front of my father. I will not tolerate her anymore!!"

"This time. I must."

Liu Qi's eyes were cold, and his voice gradually became lower.

At this moment, Liu Heng was sitting in the house, holding his grandson in his arms, and asked about the affairs in the palace.

Liu Heng only used some snacks to make the little guy very happy, and successfully bought him off.

"Father? Can I really eat it?"

"Of course, who said you can't eat it?"

"My mother doesn't allow me to eat. She forces me to read and read every day, and says that if I can't read, I can't eat."

"How old are you, what words can you recognize??"

"Aunt said that His Majesty knew mathematics when he was three years old, and he has literary talent. If I want to learn from him, I must learn well. I don't know how to learn, those things are very difficult."

Liu Rong, who is young, has many troubles.

His mother placed too many high hopes on him, probably because of her desire to be a queen, or just to cultivate a wise king. She has high demands on her children and is nothing to him. Love and focus all the resources you can find on nurturing him.As for the consequences of doing so, Liu Heng is the clearest. He valued the grandson in his arms, as if he saw another close person who also grew up under the pressure of strong parents. He was a depressed person all his life. the second brother.

Liu Rong grew up in such an environment, but his character became a little timid, not good at talking, and always timid.

What Liu Heng didn't know was that the fate of this crown prince in history could be considered extremely tragic. Lost his crown prince, but if his mother is Mrs. Qi, he can keep the crown prince. Liu Qi is ready to officially let him take the throne, just because his mother said, "Old dog! You are finally going to die! ", stunned, Liu Qi was revived on the spot, his hypotension was cured, and then Liu Rong's crown prince was gone.

Later, he was taken to the lieutenant for questioning because the palace he built occupied the ancestral temple. Zhi were killed.

If it weren't for having such an excellent mother, Liu Che wouldn't be able to take this position at all.
Although Liu Heng didn't know this, but looking at the child's timid appearance, his eyes had become quite complicated.

As soon as Li Ji came up, she gave him a huge surprise. He didn't even know that there was such a capable person in his daughter-in-law.

Liu Heng didn't say a word to her, but from her expression and words, he already knew what kind of person she was.

"Then does your mother quarrel with your father on weekdays?"

"My grandmother didn't dare to quarrel with him. Every time my father got angry, she would yell at her, and then she hugged me and cried, and told me to cry with her, and then my father didn't dare to say anything more "

"Oh, so, does your father like you?"

"I like it. My father always comes to see me, but as soon as my mother speaks, he leaves."

"Oh Rong, let me ask you again, the queen, that is, Queen Bo, how does she treat you?"

Liu Rong looked around and said in a low voice: "In fact, she is very kind to me and often gives me fruit to eat, but my mother was very angry and forbade me to take her things, saying that she was going to kill me. Once I I took the fruit she gave me, and after eating, my mother threw me out of the house, telling me to pretend to be sick and telling others that she bullied me."

Liu Heng's hands trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and managed to stabilize his mentality.

"Father? What's the matter with you? Are you sick? Don't worry. If you are sick, you can find my mother. My mother is very good at medicine. When she is alone in the hall, she secretly uses needles to prick those things." The grass figurines also have the names of those grandmothers written on them, and the grandmother said that they all suffer from insomnia, and this method can make them sleepless.”

Liu Heng's hands trembled more violently, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead popped out.

"I'm not a disease. A needle. A straw man."

Liu Rong suddenly realized, "Are you afraid of being stabbed? It doesn't matter. My mother also bought some herbs in private. She said that these can also cure diseases. She said that she wanted to cure bad diseases for the bitch in the palace, but she didn't allow it. I ate it and said that this thing cannot be eaten by children.”

Liu Heng opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say anything, and his expression became a little distorted.

"She also said"

"Okay, Rong, don't say any more."

Liu Heng interrupted his grandson, slowly picked him up, and asked, "What do you think, if Queen Bo takes care of you in the future?"

"No. My grandma will be very angry. When she is angry, she is always terrible. My nurse was almost beaten to death by her."

"But Daddy, don't worry. My mother doesn't dare to be angry with you. When she knew you were coming, she told me to treat you well. Will you help her be the queen when she becomes queen??"

"I'm more than helping her to be queen."

The next day, before Liu Heng got up, Liu Qi was already standing in front of the palace gate, waiting for him.

Liu Qi's complexion was very ugly. What happened last night must have made my father very disappointed in him. He couldn't even handle the affairs in the temple well. He often wrote letters to the temple to talk about his political achievements. I was underestimated by my father, and I blamed that stupid woman. After my father left, I insisted on cleaning her up, and I absolutely wanted her to die! !

Liu Qi cursed secretly in his heart, but after scolding for a long time, his mood didn't get any better, and he was still very disappointed.

At this time, officials came out and invited the king into the palace.

When Liu Qi walked into the hall, Liu Heng arranged for the officials to take Liu Rong out of here, and Liu Qi respectfully stood aside, paying homage to him.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't get a reply from my father.

Liu Qi raised his head slowly, and saw his father's haggard face, who was looking at him with some pity at the moment, and found that Liu Qi was looking at him, and Liu Heng rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Father, what's wrong with you? Didn't sleep well??"

"I didn't sleep well. How about you? Are you resting well?"

Liu Qi was a little confused, I don't know how long, my father never cared about him, he was always very strict with himself, every time he was either reprimanding or sarcasm, today he would take the initiative to ask how he was resting? ?

Liu Qi replied dully, "I'm resting well."

"Oh, it's hard for you too."

"Ah Father, this"

Liu Heng waved his hand, Liu Qi walked up obediently, and sat beside Father, Liu Heng thought about it, and said slowly: "I couldn't sleep all night, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I have never been inspired like this in my life. In this world, there are really all kinds of people. I knew one in the past. I thought it was already insurmountable. Who would have thought that the person in front of this , that is not worth mentioning."

Liu Qi was so clever that he immediately understood what he meant.

"Father, please don't worry, I will take care of her matter, let's talk about this poisonous matter, that peacock prince"

"No, we'll talk about the poisoning thing later, let's talk about your things here."

"I think Rong is a very well-behaved child, and I like him very much. I heard that the queen has no children of her own, so why not let the queen raise Rong?"

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes, "Father means"

"I thought so too, but, I'm afraid it will make the harem even more chaotic."

Liu Heng looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "I heard that Li Ji has been ill for a long time. Do you still have the heart to let her take care of the child? She is not in good health. I don't know how long she can live. Let her take care of the child again." , isn’t this forcing her to die early? It’s better to let the queen take care of the child and let Li Ji recuperate well. You can’t just procrastinate like this, write a letter to the temple as soon as possible, and ask the temple to find an imperial doctor to diagnose her. I hope The imperial doctor can come in time."

Liu Qi's expression was very calm, and he also let out a long sigh.

"Well, looking at her situation, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive that day. I'm just thinking that Rong can spend more time with her. Father is right. This is really inappropriate. If the disease is transmitted to the child, Wouldn't it be more fatal?"

Liu Heng nodded, "Okay, I'm going to go around again, you should take the time to check on her condition, as for the spread, you also mentioned it, but it has to be restricted so that it cannot spread. If someone is already infected, they must be well protected.”

Liu Heng got up and left here, Liu Qi got up immediately, but his eyes were extraordinarily cold.

When Liu Qi led the imperial physician into the house, Li Ji was at a loss.

"Why are you still up? If you are sick, just lie down and rest!"

"Oh, I was also negligent, and let you delay until now, don't worry, I will take good care of you"

Li Ji looked blank, "What are you talking about? Why have I ever been sick?"

Liu Qi looked at the imperial physician at the side, and the imperial physician hurried forward to take her pulse, but Li Ji still looked dazed.

However, the imperial physician jumped up like a thunder, and looked at Liu Qi in astonishment, his eyes were full of fear.

Liu Qi asked confidently, "How? How is your condition?"

The imperial physician was silent for a long time before he whispered:

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Li is pregnant. It has been four months."

The smile on Liu Qi's face gradually froze.

But Li Ji couldn't help laughing, and touched her belly excitedly, "Hahaha, this must be another boy! Boy!!!"
