Concubine Xu Xian's daily life in Tang Palace

Taizong

That night, Li Er had a sweet dream.

In the dream, he was the second son of General Li, handsome and handsome.In the city of Chang'an all day, drinking wine and admiring flowers, wearing fresh clothes and angry horses, I don't know how chic it is.

At the age of marriage, he was fortunate to marry Xu Hui, a well-known talented woman in the world.The most important thing is that in this dream, he is about the same age as Xu Hui, only three years older than Xu Hui.

They were loving and sweet all their lives, and they had a pair of children.Li Er never took a concubine in his life, and always guarded Xu Hui alone.They raised their children, watched them get married and started a business, and they grew old hand in hand.Life is simple, as plain as running water, but don't mention how happy it is.

He giggled silly, and when he woke up, the corners of his mouth were still raised.

Xu Hui was woken up by him a long time ago, and looked at him silently.

He hurriedly said, "Did I wake you up?"

Xu Hui looked at him with a look of "What do you think?", but instead of getting angry, she asked, "Is Your Majesty dreaming?"

Seeing Taizong nodding, Xu Hui smiled slightly, "It must be a sweet dream."

Taizong nodded excitedly, and told her the beautiful scene in his dream like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, not even missing the details of how brave he was on the wedding night.

Xu Hui laughed that he was out of shape, and Li Er, who was charged with this crime, became even more out of shape, with his big hands lingering restlessly on her body, with a hint of eagerness.But as soon as he touched Xu Hui's round belly, he withdrew his hand as if discouraged.

Xu Hui saw that he was enduring hard, and said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said...as long as you are careful...you can still do it."

Taizong didn't speak, but looked at her face with a smile, admiring Xu Hui's shy expression.

Xu Hui felt even more embarrassed by his naked eyes, and simply buried her head in the soft quilt.Taizong was afraid that she would hold back, so he lifted the quilt carefully and released the little ostrich.

He pinned the messy hair on her face back, rubbing the calluses on her soft skin with a different kind of tenderness, "I'm afraid I'll hurt you." And the child who is about to be born, if a kid That's all, if it's a girl, he can't do that kind of thing when the girl is present!

Xu Hui smiled sweetly, in the dark night, it was as beautiful as a flower in the epiphyllum.

He touched her stomach without lust, not knowing what he was thinking.Xu Hui looked up at him and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty want a princess or a prince?"

This was the first time Xu Hui asked this kind of question.Taizong answered cautiously, "I like both son and daughter." Don't I like all of them, as long as the child is born by her, it doesn't matter if it is male or female.

And if he wants to speak directly about his son or daughter, what should he do if Xu Hui is born?

Li Er thought for a while, and was quite satisfied with his answer, his mustache curled up.

Xu Hui didn't believe it, and reached out to pull his beard.The pain wasn't really painful, but it made him grin his teeth, which lost his image.Taizong compromised and had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I said... can't I tell the truth?"

Only then did Xu Hui let go, only to hear Taizong say with a smile, "I want a daughter."

When he said this, his voice was greasy and sticky, and his eyes seemed to twinkle like stars, obviously he meant it sincerely.Xu Hui asked, "Why?"

"Daughter is good, like you. I also want to have a daughter like you."

This answer sounded weird, and Xu Hui gave her a punch.

Taizong wants to cry but has no tears. Is it impossible to tell the truth these days?Why are pregnant women so violent?

Give him back the kitten-like Huihui he used to be!

He had no choice but to say: "Actually, my son also likes it, but I was afraid of seeing our son too happy, and I was confused for a while, so I made him the prince..."

Xu Hui was so choked up by him that she was speechless. Such an important event as the abolition of the crown prince was so lightly said by him.But with Taizong's absurdity, maybe he can really do it.

Today's prince has no sense of security, so it's better not to scare him anymore.

Taizong didn't know what to think of, and sighed again, "It's better to be a daughter."

He thought of the rebellions in the 17th year of Zhenguan, where three sons had accidents one after another, which made him exhausted physically and mentally.In contrast, the daughter has a lot of peace of mind.They don't have to fight for power and profit, they don't have to make careful calculations, and they don't have to fight wits and courage with him who is a yay.

It's fine to fight with outsiders, but if father and son fight, so what if they win?It's just a lose-lose situation.

Xu Hui seemed to sense his mood, and quietly held his hand.

She was different from other concubines, she never thought of consolidating her status by giving birth to a son.It is said that Taizong likes his daughter, which suits her better.But having a boy or a girl is always predestined by the heavens, and she doesn't force it.It's just that there are some things that she needs to explain clearly.

"If Xu Hui really gave birth to a prince, I hope His Majesty will forget what he said tonight, and don't give birth to Prince Yi's heart."

No matter how smart and precocious her child is, it is impossible to compare with the prince who has passed the weak crown.Previously, Taizong was confused and started building large-scale construction projects, which had already damaged the national strength. She didn't want to make troubles in the world because of her again.

To be honest, Taizong didn't want to give her this promise at all, and he said it to death too early, for fear of being slapped in the face in the future.But looking at Xu Hui's firm eyes, he inevitably softened his attitude again.

"I promise you."

Since returning to Chang'an, Emperor Taizong has been responsive to Xu Hui's request, and his favor is even better than before.Fortunately, she is not a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people, otherwise, as long as she thinks about it, the great Tang Dynasty can be destroyed in her hands in a blink of an eye.

Xu Hui was less than 24 years old when she gave birth, but in the eyes of the imperial physician, she was considered an "advanced maternal age".However, when Empress Changsun gave birth to Jinyang and Xincheng, she was older than Xu Hui, so the imperial physicians were still very confident that Xu Hui's mother and child would be safe.

In fact, the early twenties are the most suitable time to give birth.If Xu Hui had a child soon after entering the palace, that would be the real danger.

Although she was the first child, due to proper maintenance, the delivery went very smoothly, and the child fell to the ground within an hour or two from the labor pains.As Taizong wished, she was a little princess.

There has been no baby in the palace for many years. Once the little princess was born, she was loved by thousands of people. Not only Xu Hui and Li Er, the parents who love each other, but also the concubine Shufei and others also regard the little princess as their own. Pain like a granddaughter.

Huh... granddaughter?

There seems to be something wrong.

But in terms of age, this is not surprising.The sons of Concubine Gui and Concubine Shu have already married wives and had children, and their grandchildren are even older than the little princess!

This is especially true for Taizong, who is old enough to be the grandfather of the little princess.

But Taizong was very reluctant to hear someone say that.

Ever since Li Er fell in love with Xu Hui and started "an old cow eats tender grass", except for the ridiculous two years before, he has always taken good care of himself.If the emperor at the pinnacle of imperial power is willing to take care of it, he will certainly have an advantage over ordinary people.So from the outside, Li Er is really not that old, at least he looks much younger than Xu Hui's father, Xu Xiaode.

Xu Xiaode has been exiled for so many years and has made outstanding political achievements, but he also made his face look frosty.Before Xu Hui gave birth to a daughter, Emperor Taizong transferred their family back to Beijing.Needless to say, it is necessary to add an official to a noble.

In the past, when Changsun Wuji saw Taizong promoting Xu Hui's father like this, he would definitely come out and make a fuss.However, through several cooperations with Xu Hui, he has already changed from "reversing the Xu faction" to "supporting the Xu faction". Not to mention objecting, he also took the initiative to make friends with Xu Xiaode. buddy.

Moreover, Xu Xiaode's current status is not only due to his daughter's glory.It is said that when he resigned from Guozhou, tens of thousands of people spontaneously sent him off. Not only that, they also erected a huge monument to thank this parent official who loved the people like a son.When the imperial court heard the news, they were naturally rewarded.

Ever since the little princess was born, the palace was full of joy.Taizong went to the court with a smile every day, and his good mood was naturally carried to the previous court.

After the court was over, Changsun Wuji did not leave, but followed the emperor, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty is old and has a daughter!"

It stands to reason that stretching out your hand would not hit a smiling person, but Taizong suddenly felt, why does the eldest grandson Wuji's words sound so unbearable?

"What do you mean 'old woman'? Am I very old?" Taizong's eagle eyes were fixed on Changsun Wuji, as if two holes would be drilled in his face if he dared to admit it.

Changsun Wuji understood that he had hooked up with a little girl and started his second spring, how could he allow others to say he was old?So he changed his words, "Your Majesty is naturally not old, but I am confused. Your Majesty is young and vigorous, heroic and majestic..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. You're going to be as disgusting as Wang De." Taizong waved his hands impatiently, but the corners of his mouth betrayed his good mood, and he couldn't control his slight upward movement. "Let's go, I will take you to see the little princess. Do you know the auxiliary machine, this is the supreme honor that others can't ask for!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and followed Taizong with blood on his face.He felt that if he continued to develop like this, he would become a courtier...

Fortunately, Taizong is no longer the foolish emperor he was two years ago. After having a daughter, he is even more diligent, even more diligent than before.As long as there is a wise king, no matter whether it is a demon concubine or a sycophant, it is impossible to become arrogant.

The little princess is not yet full moon, and she still lives with Xu Hui.A man with a foreign surname could not enter the Qingning Palace, and when Changsun Wuji hesitated, he was dragged in by Taizong.

"Look, isn't my little princess beautiful?" Li Er proudly showed off to his friends.

Before the eldest grandson Wuji came, he had prepared a full stomach of hypocritical flattery, and was going to use it on the little princess against his conscience.No wonder he thinks this way, a newborn baby is like a little monkey, how good-looking can it be?

But the beauty of the little princess obviously broke his perception of the newborn.The little princess has a fair complexion, even worse than Xu Hui, and her skin is as delicate as milk.The facial features are correct, and the big eyes are especially charming.Those two rows of long eyelashes are like small brushes, which are very pitiful.

Taizong looked at Changsun Wuji's dumbfounded look, and felt extremely proud.

At this time, Changsun Wuji had already forgotten all those compliments.He nodded, and said foolishly: "The little princess is so cute, I want to give birth to one myself..."

Taizong squinted at him, expressing dissatisfaction: My daughter is so cute, can you give birth to her?

The eldest grandson Wuji thought he couldn't give birth, so he began to brazenly ask for a marriage.

The old brothers had a quarrel, and Taizong drove him away.

That night, Taizong held his daughter in his arms, and suddenly remembered the dream he had not long ago.

In the dream, he and Xu Hui were young couples, and their lives were loving and smooth.But now, looking at his little wife nestled beside him, he suddenly felt an unprecedented satisfaction.Being able to stay together like this in this life is already very good, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Dreams are beautiful, but they are not as beautiful as reality.
