Unparalleled Concubine

As he said that, he excitedly ran towards the backyard of Jing'an Hou Mansion, still yelling "Auntie".

Li Xin sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, I'll teach you how to bake skewers for a few days, and then I'll send you back..."

Chapter 641 Congratulations to Hou Ye!

After the Marquis of Jing'an broke through Nanshu, he made great contributions, but he was also seriously injured and had to recuperate at home.

Since then, Wufei Rabbit left, and the time passed in a blink of an eye, and the heat came and went, without knowing it for five years.

Five years later, it was the spring of the eighth year of Taikang.

At this time, the world is safe, the southwest is stable, and all parts of the world have harvested food for three consecutive years. In addition, there is no war at the border. Like a mountain, the food stock is enough for all the people in the entire Jin Dynasty to eat for three years.

In such a situation, even if it is not called a prosperous age, some people will still starve to death, but no matter what, the Taikang dynasty has reached the eighth year of Taikang, at least it can be called the word governing the world.

This is the ideal pinnacle of many ancient literati. At this time, there is a lot of praise from the government and the public. Many literati can't stop expressing their praises to Emperor Taikang. Very high, even higher than Chengde Shengtianzi.

Even, because of the good governance in this area, almost no one mentioned the Renchen Palace change anymore, and most people chose to forget about it.

However, this "prosperous age" scene is not without hidden dangers. Leaving aside other hidden dangers, the biggest hidden danger is that as these literati flirt with each other every day, the Emperor Taikang, who originally only wanted to sit firmly on the throne, is getting bigger and bigger. stand up.

After the change of Renchen Palace, all he wanted was to secure the throne, stabilize the Southwest, and be his own emperor honestly. But by coincidence, Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, planted a seed in his heart five years ago. This seed was originally just a seed, but in the past five years, those civil servants have been touting it day after day, which has made this seed take root and germinate.

Branches have even been pulled out.

In fact, a large part of the prosperity of the Taikang Dynasty today comes from the accumulation of the Chengde Dynasty. After all, most of the officials in the Taikang Dynasty today are based on the foundation of the Chengde Dynasty. The foundation was established by the Chengde Dynasty. As long as they don't mess around, most of them will be in the current situation.

But this truth can't be said in the court now, and most of the Emperor Taikang can't hear it.

In the past two years, the emperor has been looking north, and the dragon is watching.

But for the time being, all of this has little to do with Lord Jing'an, who is unemployed at home.

In the past five years, Li Xin has not been completely idle at home. After he has been idle for two years, he can't shirk his errands in the Ministry of War. He still visits the Ministry of War occasionally, but he still doesn't pay much attention to it. A lazy Minister of the Ministry of War, he has always been excused by injuries and illnesses, and the number of times he went to court in five years was very few.

At this time, Li Shangshu was anxious, waiting anxiously outside the room alone.

Because his wife, Princess Qinghe of Jin Dynasty, is giving birth in the delivery room.

At this time, the voice of the eldest princess in the room became more and more sharp.

Because of sanitary conditions and medical conditions, maternal mortality in this era is extremely high, and every time a child is born, it is a circle between life and death.

In fact, this is the second time that the eldest princess has walked on the line of life and death.

Next to Li Xin, Zhong Xiaoxiao, who was already thirteen or fourteen years old, was holding a little girl carved in powder and jade. The little girl was about three years old and could talk just now. She obediently held Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand. , looked up and said: "Little aunt, you said that Auntie will give me a younger brother, or a younger sister?"

For five years, it is impossible for the Eldest Princess to have no movement in her stomach. In fact, not long after Li Xin returned to Beijing, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for Li Xin. However, the Eldest Princess was not in good health. Li Xin let her raise her body for a few years, deliberately not letting her conceive again immediately.

Now, his second child is about to speak again.

When Zhong Xiaoxiao was five or six years old, she followed Li Xin. It has been more than eight years now. Although her personality is still slightly introverted during the eight years, it is much better than the previous autistic personality. , has been basically normal.

Hearing this, she reached out and hugged the little girl in her arms, with a smile on her face: "Ah Han, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao has a restrained personality. No matter who she is facing, she always has a shy face and hardly smiles. She only smiles when facing Li Xin and Li Xin's family.

Among them, she is closest to Li Xin's eldest daughter, even closer than Li Xin.

"Ah Han... wants a younger brother."

The little girl couldn't speak very clearly, so she said in a childish voice, "My mother has always wanted to have a younger brother, and I have been talking about it for a long time. I want to make my mother happy."

Although Li Xin does not favor sons over daughters, and even likes daughters more, but the atmosphere of this era is patriarchal, and the eldest princess is a native of this era, so she naturally wants a son. Been talking about it.

The pair of aunts and nephews were muttering on one side, while Li Xin on the other side was already dripping with sweat.

The best stable woman he could find in the capital had already been called into the mansion, and now all he could do was wait, there was nothing he could do.

The most helpless thing about a person is that he is completely powerless about one thing, and he is in this state now.

Although the eldest princess had already given birth to a child, the Marquis of Jing'an was still a little terrified at this time.

Seeing Li Xin's appearance, Zhong Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, walked over with little Ah Han in her arms, put the little girl by Li Xin's hand, and said softly: "Brother, sister-in-law has already given birth to a child, she will definitely It's okay, don't worry."

Li Xin let out a foul breath slowly, and said with a wry smile, "That's the truth, but how can you control it? Your sister-in-law has been in for a couple of hours."

Having said that, Li Xin picked up the eldest daughter by his side, kissed her hard on the face, then sent her to Zhong Xiaoxiao's arms, and said: "It's getting dark, it's still early spring , the weather is cold, you go back to the house and rest, I will just watch here."

Zhong Xiaoxiao has grown a lot taller now, and is already a little higher than Li Xin's shoulders. After taking the child, she hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How about I go in and see how Sis-in-law is doing?"

Li Xin shook his head.

"All the stable women in the capital have been invited, I believe they are, you can take Ah Han to rest, brother just wait here."

Zhong Xiaoxiao glanced at her elder brother and said, "Then I'll take Ah Han to sleep first."

"I'll ask Sister Hui to bring some food to my brother later, but my brother hasn't eaten much all day."

Sister Hui was the one who married Chen Shiliu among the maids in the Jing'an Hou's mansion. Now she is considered the eldest maid in the Jing'an Hou's mansion. Most of the big and small things in the Hou's mansion are caused by Chen Shiliu and his wife Two people are in charge.

Li Xin nodded slightly, forced a smile: "Go to sleep first."

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded and led Li Xin's eldest daughter down.

Ahan is her nickname, and her real name is Li Shu.

After the two walked away, Li Xin stood up and continued to wait at the door of the delivery room.

After an unknown amount of time, a somewhat obese middle-aged woman ran out of the delivery room in a panic, ran all the way to Li Xin, and bowed to Li Xin repeatedly.

"Congratulations, Lord Hou, congratulations, Lord Hou!"

The steady woman laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"It's a boy, the eldest princess gave birth to a young prince!"

Lord Jing'an did not rush to laugh, but asked, "My wife?"

"Mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe!"

The steady woman smiled and congratulated Li Xin, "He is a big fat boy, and he will definitely be a handsome son in the future."

She has no reason to be unhappy, midwifery for such a big family, the mother and child are safe, the reward will definitely not be small, it is estimated that this time will be enough for her to live for several years.

In an instant, Li Xin was overwhelmed with joy, his body was trembling, and he walked slowly towards the delivery room, muttering to himself.
