One Piece of Song Dynasty

After the dumplings were wrapped, Li Xin looked at the various strange-shaped dumplings on the table and said, "It feels good to make dumplings with your own hands. Okay, let's clean up and have a rest. We will cook the dumplings later."

After cleaning up, Li Xin took the children to set off fireworks in the courtyard. Looking at this warm scene, Li Xin sighed: "It would be great if it could always be like this."

Liang Hongyu on the side agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will definitely continue like this. Your Majesty usually educates them."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Maybe."

At midnight, Li Xin and others started cooking dumplings. After cooking the dumplings, Li Xin personally carried two bowls of dumplings to Zhao Jinling and Yue Anniang: "Today's first two bowls of dumplings are for you two pregnant women. Eat them quickly."

The two of them took the dumplings with difficulty and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Father."

Later, Li Xin also served a bowl of dumplings herself, and then poured them under cold water before eating them. In her previous life, Li Xin liked to eat dumplings that had been in cold water. Li Xin did not like to eat hot dumplings with soup. Li Xin did not like to eat dumplings that had been in cold water. Eat one bite at a time.

The sixth son, Li Yunpeng, came to Li Xin with a bowl of dumplings and said, "Father, why do you have to go through cold water to eat dumplings?"

Li Xin said while eating dumplings: "Dumplings that have been cooled are delicious, and my father doesn't like eating dumplings with soup that are too hot."

Li Yunpeng asked: "Father, are dumplings that have been cooked in cold water really so delicious?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's right. If you don't believe me, my father will pick one for you and you will know after you try it." After saying that, Li Xin picked up a dumpling and fed it to Li Yunpeng's mouth.

Li Yunpeng chewed two mouthfuls, smashed them and said, "Well, it seems that dumplings that have been passed through cold water do taste better. Father, I also need to pass the dumplings through cold water."

Li Xin touched Li Yunpeng's head and said, "Well, go ahead."

Everyone was eating dumplings when suddenly the fifth son, Li Yanshu, shouted excitedly: "Oh, father, mother, I got some copper coins."

Yu Liyan smiled and touched Li Yanshu's head. Li Xin smiled and said, "It seems that Yanshu will definitely be blessed in the new year."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another clatter, and the sound of the bowl breaking attracted everyone's attention. Li Xin quickly looked around and found that Zhao Jinling's bowl had fallen to the ground: "Jinling, what's wrong?"

Zhao Jinling said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I have a stomachache."

Liang Hongyu put down the bowl and said, "Your Majesty, she is about to give birth."

Li Xin shouted: "Xiao Shunzi, go and call the doctor quickly."

Liang Hongyu said: "Your Majesty, please take everyone out first. I can just stay here, and prepare more hot water."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, okay, pack up and follow me out."

Soon several doctors arrived with tools and medicine kits, and Li Xin continued eating dumplings after arriving outside.

Zhao Duofu looked at Li Xin eating dumplings as if nothing was wrong and snorted: "The emperor is so heartless. Sister Jin Ling is giving birth to the emperor's baby in the house, but the emperor can still eat dumplings outside with peace of mind."

Li Xin said while eating: "What can I do if I don't eat dumplings? There's no point in being anxious outside. Besides, I've experienced so many of you giving birth to children, so I'm used to it. Don't worry, I believe Jin Ling won't Something happened."

Zhao Duofu snorted and said nothing. Li Xin watched the children holding the dumplings without eating and said, "Children, eat quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you. I made so many dumplings today with great difficulty. We can't waste it. It's a waste of food." It’s shameful, eat it quickly.”

Li Xin was eating dumplings while listening to the howling of the golden bell in the house. Yue Anniang couldn't eat anymore. Li Xiaolong hugged Yue Anniang and said, "Are you scared?"

Yue Anniang nodded and said: "Well, yes, listening to the shouts of Empress Jinling inside, I am indeed a little scared."

Li Xiaolong comforted her: "Ms. An, it's okay. I will always be with you."

Yue Anniang looked at Li Xiaolong and asked: "Your Majesty, when my concubine gives birth to a child, will you act like a normal person like the emperor?"

Li Xiaolong scratched his head and said with a smile: "No, no, I will definitely not be the same as my father."

After a while, a baby's cry sounded from inside the house. Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's done. Let me just tell you that Jin Ling will be fine."

Soon Liang Hongyu, sweating profusely, came out to announce the good news: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, sister Jinling has given birth to a prince."

Li Xin helped Liang Hongyu up and said, "Okay, Hongyu, please get up. You can be considered a meritorious service this time."

Liang Hongyu shook her head and said: "I am in charge of the harem. This is what I should do."

Li Xin asked: "Hongyu, can I go in now?"

Liang Hongyu said: "Let's wait a little longer and clean up before the emperor goes in."

After a while, Li Xin led everyone into the house. Looking at Zhao Jinling who was lying weakly on the bed, Li Xin sat by the bed and held her hand and said, "Jin Ling, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Jinling looked at the baby next to him weakly and said, "Concubine, please don't work hard. Your Majesty, please give this child a name."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, let me think about it. This year is the second year of Xingwu. He is also my first child since the restoration of the Tang Dynasty. Let's use the year number as the name and call him Li Xingwu."

Zhao Jinling smiled happily and said, "Well, I thank you, Your Majesty."

After staying for a while, Li Xin led everyone away.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yue Yun brought Li Xinning and Li Jing's family to the palace early to pay their respects to Li Xin.

Seeing Li Zhongqing and Li Ruoxi, Li Xin called out: "Zhongqing, Ruoxi, come to uncle, uncle has prepared red envelopes for you."

Li Jing asked: "Brother, I heard that I have gained a nephew."

Li Xin gave the red envelope to the two children and said, "Well, yes, Jin Ling just gave me a prince last night."

Li Xinning said in surprise: "Ah, Father, I have another younger brother."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, you and An Niang should also take care of yourselves. You two have my grandson and grandson in your belly."

Li Xinning said carelessly: "Father, do you want the grandson in my belly to be a boy or a girl?"

Li Xin spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. Anyway, they are my grandsons. You should ask my consort about this matter."

Yue Yun scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Father, it doesn't matter to the child. It can be either male or female. The child is still young anyway."

Li Jing asked: "Brother, can you go see my youngest nephew now?"

Li Xinning also echoed: "Father, I want to see you too, and I also want to see my mother."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, let's go, I will take you there."

When they arrived at the harem, Yu Liyan came in a hurry after hearing the news: "Little sister, daughter, you are all here."

Li Jing hugged her daughter Li Ruoxi and said, "How are you, sister Yu Liyan."

Yu Liyan looked at Li Ruoxi and said, "Little Ruoxi is good."

Li Ruoxi said in a sweet voice, "Happy New Year to my second aunt."

Yu Liyan touched Li Ruoxi's head and said, "Ruoxi is so good."

Li Xinning saw that Yu Liyan was not paying attention to her and shouted: "Mother"

Yu Liyan turned to look at Li Xinning and said, "Xinning, how do you feel about being pregnant without any physical discomfort?"

Li Xinning shook her head and said, "No, it's very good."

Li Xin said: "Yu Liyan, you're here just in time, take them to Jin Ling to have a look."

Yu Liyan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
