Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Chapter 36 Talking Hearts

"This is the first snow of this year, it's really heavy... Think about it when the late emperor passed away, it seems to be the same, the first snow just arrived..."

Li Qiyu heard the words, his eyes darkened, but he still kept silent and didn't answer.

——Not only the first emperor, but also King You and King Su died together in the winter of that year... and in the spring of the second year, King An and Prince Rui were demoted to common people by the new emperor and exiled to the southwest...

The attendants standing not far away wanted to feel as if they didn't exist, and lowered their heads, as if the light snowflakes that only occasionally fell were heavy enough to make them not burdened.

"You guys go down first, I'm talking with King Yu here, and I'll go in later."

Liang Emperor Li Qixi waved to the attendants, motioning them to retreat.

Everyone was relieved, and immediately bowed and left.

As a result, only Emperor Liang and King Yu were left in the huge Xingxing Pavilion and the two "giant beasts" squatting not far away.

Seeing Li Qiyu's solemn expression, Emperor Liang stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder: "I haven't seen you in several years, I wanted to take this opportunity to see how Jing Cheng is, but unfortunately he caught the wind and cold. When is it..."

"It is really his blessing that Jing Cheng is loved by His Majesty."

Although Li Qiyu's words were soft, his tone was very serious. If Li Qixi didn't understand his character, he would have thought he was satirizing something.

"I only have his nephew as a direct relative, so of course I value him..."

When Emperor Liang said this, he suddenly continued with a hint: "However, your heir is too weak. Although Xu Fangfei is a virtuous concubine, she has not come out so far. This is her fault. Her father Zhongshu Lingdu The second time I mentioned this matter to me, I also thought about it, I should find another famous lady for you to be your side concubine, so as to spread the branches and leaves for Prince Yu's mansion." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Qiyu and looked at him. Either accept or reject.

However, Emperor Liang, who wanted to get a response, was doomed to be disappointed, because King Yu lowered his head slightly, without any intention of speaking.

Li Qixi looked at his younger brother, who was a compatriot, and found that he didn't seem to have changed from ten years ago - he was still so taciturn and expressionless, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart.

"I know that you are a long-term lover. Even though it was only because of me that you had to marry Princess Yong, you have always cared for her for so many years... But Jing Cheng has no soul so far, and I'm afraid he won't be able to in the future Successfully took over the Northern Territory..."

Li Jingcheng is already ten years old. According to the practice of the Liang royal family, he should have shown the appearance of the soul long ago, but he has not shown any performance so far.

It would be fine if such a son was just an ordinary king, but he was the son of King Yu, and he would definitely succeed King Yu in the northern region in the future, so there would be a huge problem.

If he wants to "suppress" the demons in the northern border and at the same time deter Liang's "neighbor" Yong, the son of King Yu must have his soul.

With Emperor Liang, the uncle of the emperor, and Li Qiyu, the biological father, even if King Yu had other sons who could go to the front line, Li Jingcheng would be able to secure his position as King Yu.

When Emperor Liang mentioned the matter of letting King Yu set up another side concubine, he actually meant to consider it for Li Jingcheng.

However, when Li Qiyu heard the words, he bowed and said: "If the minister is unable to guard the northern border for your majesty in the future, please choose another virtuous king to come, but the princess and Jing Cheng are weak, and I have no time to take care of other things. I hope your majesty will forgive me." The minister has no intention of setting up a side concubine again."

Hearing the determination in his tone, Emperor Liang couldn't help feeling a little angry: "Are you still blaming me for what happened back then? If it weren't for the weird situation at that time, why would I be willing to trade your lifelong happiness?!"

Before the death of the first emperor, he had no sons, and he did not establish a prince for a long time, which led to the ten-year-long chaos of the seven kings competing for the heir.

Although Li Qixi won the final victory, the most powerful King Jing and King Qi are still there, and his throne is not secure. In order to stabilize the relationship with his neighbors, he asked his younger brother King Yu to marry the princess of Yongguo, and married the Yonghuang family. marriage.

This princess was born beautiful, but she didn't really want to come to Liangjing, so she was unhappy in Liangjing for many years.

After she gave birth to Li Jingcheng, her vitality was even more severely injured. The imperial doctor had hinted that her longevity might be hindered.

Xu is the daughter of Zhongshu Ling, regardless of birth or appearance, even if she enters the palace, she can get it, but Li Qixi pointed it out to King Yu.

In Li Qixi's view, to a certain extent, this is his compensation to his younger brother.

However, King Yu has an extremely indifferent relationship with this side concubine, and would rather sit withered in front of the sad-faced Princess Yu than spend a moment with Xu side concubine.

Outsiders thought it was King Yu's dissatisfaction with Emperor Liang's accusation that his confidant's daughter was actually monitoring him, but Li Qixi felt that he might be even more dissatisfied with the fact that he had married him back then.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang couldn't help feeling a little discouraged: "If I knew this earlier, maybe it would be better to send Shuyu to Yong Kingdom."

Hearing the name of the eldest princess who died young, Li Qiyu raised his head and looked at Emperor Liang without avoiding it: "Your Majesty, I have a wife and son at this time, and I am blessed to have His Majesty's trust to guard the border. Your Majesty, what is there to complain about?"

Emperor Liang looked at the pair of eyes similar to his own, and finally sighed after a long time: "Actually, having more sons may not necessarily be a good thing... It was the same in the time of the first emperor, and it is the same now."

Li Qiyu knew that he was implying the establishment of a reserve, let alone answering the question.

Emperor Liang who still didn't get a response could only continue by himself: "I didn't want you to go back and forth, but I dreamed about the late emperor a few days ago, and he scolded me a few words. Uneasy, the Empress Dowager invited the Emperor Uncle to come back, but I want to take this opportunity to see you."

This time, he didn't give the other party a chance to be silent, and mentioned one thing: "Azhe said, did you go to Wushan to pray for the princess?"

"Return to His Majesty, and pray for Jing Cheng."

Li Qiyu actually guessed that King Zhejun would report this matter to Emperor Liang—the other party spent a lot of time in Huayin Temple but failed to find Jing Cheng's whereabouts. Express something.

Emperor Liang nodded when he heard the words: "The emperor's uncle is in Huayin Temple. You can go to Wushan and greet him a lot on my behalf. It will serve multiple purposes."

He wants to tell Li Qiyu about this matter, on the one hand, he wants to remind Li Qiyu that every move of King Yu is in the eyes of the emperor, on the other hand, he also wants to comfort him, expressing that he completely trusts him, so others come up Don't tell him about the "eye medicine".

After talking about unpleasant things, the conversation between the two became much "relaxed", most of which revolved around the queen mother's well-being and a new little prince and two little princesses in the palace.

Although the snow had stopped, there were occasional snowflakes. The two stood on the Zhaixing Pavilion for a while before returning indoors.

……

Although there were not many big events in the palace in previous years, the entire Liang realm was holding corresponding celebrations for three days before and after Wanshou.

For ordinary people, this is the biggest festival before the New Year's Eve, and Yunyang City is no exception.

On the streets of the county government, craftsmen led by the officials decorated the colored walls, colored corridors and lamphouses, as well as a stage for the common people to watch. ,Crowded.

All kinds of affairs here are temporarily suspended, and the celebration lasts for seven days.With Liang Jing's long life today, the folks are happy, which can be said to be happy for everyone.

The Lin Mansion hung up colorful silks and lanterns early on, Lin Qiongde and Lin Fengxiumu were at home, and even Mrs. Zhen was temporarily released from the restraint and was able to walk out.

"Since you want to go out, you must prepare properly, especially Yan Si, and you must never leave the elder's sight."

Listening to Lin Qiongde's instructions, several juniors nodded repeatedly, expressing that they would remember their grandfather's words.

During this period of time, the mansion was quite depressing, and it was hard to celebrate a "festival". Lin Qiongde didn't want to be too harsh, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go now, go back early, don't be playful."

"Yes, my grandson knows."

Lin Feng brought Lin Yanhong and others out of He Andang, and originally wanted to ask his two sons and a nephew where they wanted to go first.

However, Lin Yanhong didn't want to go with Lin Yanxing, and Lin Yanxing also had his own plans, so the two parties "coincidentally" reasoned that there were still things to take, and they returned to Dongyuan and Nanyuan respectively.

Therefore, Lin Feng was helpless, and finally chose to accompany Lin Yanhong to Dongyuan.

In fact, Lin Yanhong did not lie, he really wanted to go back, but the "things" he wanted to take were very valuable, so precious that he would never bring them to Lin Qiongde and Lin Tongshi.

The little wolf cub sat obediently on the couch in the warm pavilion, waiting for Lin Yanhong to pick it up and go out.

Lin Feng saw that Lin Yanhong was wearing a big fur, with a little fluffy head poking out from the seam, he couldn't help asking with a smile, "This is the little wolfhound you picked up?"

Lin Yanhong patted its little head, nodded and replied, "Will Father accompany us out today?"

"There are many people outside, you and Yansi go out, I don't feel at ease as a father, of course I have to go with you."

The two sons are not walking together. It is reasonable to say that Lin Feng should not accompany anyone to see it as fair, but he is still worried about Lin Yanhong's health in his heart. Even if his son is now fully recovered, Lin Feng cannot avoid worrying.

In addition, they had to take Xiao Yansi out together, and they needed to be taken care of, so Lin Feng still decided to follow.

Therefore, they tacitly did not mention Lin Yanxing, and the group went out happily.

For Lin Yanhong, this kind of experience of going out to participate in the celebration is actually very rare.

Even if his body allowed it at that time, they would not let him stay in a crowded place, lest he stand outside and get cold or be hit.

For Xiao Yansi and the little wolf cub, this kind of experience was unprecedented, so the three of them were extremely excited.

When Lin Feng saw the colorful lights on the street reflected in his eldest son's eyes, he felt happier than seeing the beautiful lights himself.

Unlike the lanterns of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns of Wanshou have no riddles to guess, but they are still fascinating.

Because besides the Lantern Festival, that is, there will be colorful lanterns during Wanshou, so I can see such a variety of lanterns with my own eyes. Be fascinated, be fascinated by shopping.

Not to mention there are all kinds of snacks and stage built along the street.

This kind of stage is different from the regular theater troupe they invite to their homes on weekdays. It is not only singing, but also juggling or tricks, which is more down-to-earth and attractive.

Even Lin Feng watched it with great interest, and asked Lin Yanhong and Lin Yansi from time to time if there was anything they wanted to eat.

Soup base, rice noodle soup topped with diced winter bamboo shoots and marinated whitebait, sweet soap cakes and flower cakes, crunchy sanzi and fried golden meringue rolls, steaming wontons and topped with garlic Oily hand-rolled noodles, fragrant steamed buns and scones with meat sauce...

Fortunately, they had listened to Aunt Chun's advice in advance and used less dinner, otherwise there was really no way to try these seemingly ordinary or even rough meals.

Lin Feng handed the steamed stuffed bun wrapped in oiled paper to Lin Yanhong, and Lin Yanhong divided it into four, gave one to Xiao Yansi, kept one for himself, and stuffed the other into his father's mouth inside.

I don't know if he didn't expect to share a bun with four people. Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, but after a while, the taste of hot sauce and shiitake mushrooms spread in his mouth, bringing endless warmth.

As he chewed, he pulled a smiley face.
