Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Seeing that the Ruijin Temple was well managed, Li Xu didn't stay long, and soon went down the mountain. As soon as he entered the city, he heard someone from the palace running to report: "My lord, there is news from Mr. Lei, someone has returned. "

Li Xu and Kou Xiao looked at each other, and hurried back home. Unless it was an emergency, the communication between them had always been through letters, and they didn't need their people to run errands in person.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard an angry baby crying, Li Xu paused, and turned back to the servant who reported the letter, "Where did the child come from?"

The man patted his head and said embarrassingly: "I forgot to say, they came back with a baby who was a few months old, and I don't know where it came from."

Thinking of the troubles in this world, Li Xu thought they were the ones who saved him on the way, so he didn't pay much attention to it. When he entered the living room, he saw a group of people around a swaddling baby doing various tricks, but he still couldn't make the child laugh.

"What are you doing?" Li Xu asked curiously.

Liu Shu was the first to rush over, grabbed Li Xu's arm and said in surprise, "My lord, come and see, what a beautiful little doll, but she loves to cry a lot, no matter how much she teases her, she can't stop."

Ling had three young men come over to salute, claiming to be Lord Lei's entourage and Kou's army. Li Xu didn't know Lei Ming's entourage, but the Kou's army he sent out had an impression, so he asked them to stand up and talk.

"Where did you come back from? What happened?"

The entourage took out a letter and handed it over, "My lord, the little people came from Guilin. At that time, the adults rescued the baby. I didn't know what to do with it, and there was no one to take it in, so I had to order me to take the baby away." Send it back to South Vietnam."

Li Xu was puzzled, it was just a little baby who was rescued halfway, even if he couldn't find anyone to adopt, if he gave some money, someone would be willing to adopt him, why did he have to travel thousands of miles to send it back.

He took the letter, read the content first, and then suddenly realized that the child was rescued when they passed through that weird village. It is said that the child was trapped by wolves at that time, and he was snatched back.

The villagers were also present at the time, thinking that such a child would not be recognized and must die, and his family refused to take him anymore. Lei Ming had no choice but to take the child away.

The child's arm was bitten by a wolf, and it bled a lot. Lei Ming knew that no one dared to adopt an injured baby, so he asked the medical craftsman in the team to heal him. The place where I wanted to send it, but I couldn't find anyone to give it to me, so I asked someone to bring it back.

Li Xu glanced at the crying baby and saw that he really had a cute and lovable face. He couldn't imagine that his parents wanted to put him to death, so cruel.

"Boy or girl?" Kou Xiao asked with his head stretched out. Hearing that it was a boy and seeing that crying face, he said with some disgust, "A man is a real man, crying and crying. It will definitely not be a good thing in the future. Just send it away."

Aunt Xu hugged the child quickly and explained: "The child must be hungry, and he is afraid because there are so many people around him. The general doesn't understand children. A child of this age will cry."

Kou Xiao was noncommittal, anyway, he didn't like children.

Li Xu has a good eye for this child, after all, he is really cute, so it can be seen that appearance is very important everywhere, "Give me a hug."

Li Xu has never held such a small child before. This child was thrown into the mountain within a few days of birth. Now he is only two or three months old, and his neck can't stand upright. Aunt Xu taught him how to hold him. It took Xu a while to learn.

It was also strange, but the child stopped crying when it was in his hands, and looked at him while sucking his fingers, with a pair of big eyes turning round and round, as if he was observing who this handsome man was.

Kou Xiao curled his lips and said: "This kid is incredible, he knows how to hug his thigh at such a young age, and knows who is the one who decides his fate."

Li Xu laughed, and based on his own experience, he explained: "I think he just thinks the jade crown on my head looks good."

It was indeed an extremely exquisite jade crown, with a tiger-shaped ruby ​​inlaid on the front end. The small gemstone was carved into a crouching little tiger. It has a good meaning and can ward off evil spirits, so he must wear it all the time recently.

When the little princess came back from school, she leaned over to tease the little baby. The other party finally smiled, and then reached out to hold the suspenders on the little princess's beaded hairpin, shaking it gently, smiling very proudly.

Li Xu joked: "It seems that the little princess has the highest status and is the most popular in this family."

After sending them away, Kou Xiao asked in a low voice, "Does the lord want... to adopt this child?"

Li Xu was stunned, hesitant, and said: "I don't have a very clear idea, I just like this child a little bit, do you like it?"

Kou Xiao shook his head with a straight face: "I don't like it." He doesn't like anyone or anything that can distract Li Xu's attention.

Li Xu said casually: "Let's take a look again, it doesn't have to be anyone."

Kou Xiao held his hand and said affectionately: "If the prince likes to accept it, I don't care."

Li Xu withdrew his hand and gave him a sideways glance, "Come on, do you believe such words against your will?"

"Cough... Then, don't you want this child?"

"Send it to the Salesian Bureau."

The more Li Xu showed indifference, the more disturbed Kou Xiao became. When the salesman bureau came and really wanted to send the child away, he was reluctant to part with it. After all, it is not easy to find a child with a good eye.

But before he could speak, Liu Shu and Aunt Xu stepped forward first.

Liu Shu said: "The slave is an eunuch, and it is impossible to have offspring in this life. I originally thought of adopting a foster son after a few years, and accepting a cheap son to take care of the slave. It just so happened that this child came, so why not give it to the slave as an adopted son?" ?”

Aunt Xu said: "I also want to adopt a boy to raise. I don't have any brothers. What should I do if I get married and have no support from my mother's family? If I have a brother who is bullied at my in-law's house, someone will come to talk to me. This child is cute and cute. I really like it, why don't you just adopt me as an adopted son?"

Kou Xiao swallowed back the words he was going to say, he couldn't rob the two servants for the child, so he sneaked a glance at Li Xu, seeing his calm expression, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Li Xu said worriedly: "After all, there is only one child. If the two of you want it, how can you divide it? This time the Salesian Bureau has taken in a lot of orphans. Why don't you go and have a look and bring them back to raise them in the mansion."

The little princess tugged at Li Xu's sleeve, and asked, "Father, everyone wants to adopt an adopted son, can Shu'er also adopt one?"

Li Xu's head was full of black lines, and he patted her on the head, "Stop making trouble, this is a living person, not a toy, not raised to play."

"It's not for fun. Eunuch Liu said he wanted a son to take care of him, and Aunt Xu said she wanted a son to be Xiaoya's brother. Shu'er also wants a brother. Can Shu'er raise a younger brother?"

"This……"

The little princess smiled and said first: "If Shu'er has a younger brother, can the father and king not get married?"

Li Xu carried the little princess back to the room, closed the door and asked, "Shu'er, tell father the truth, if father wants to get married, are you happy?"

The little princess thought about it seriously, and replied: "I shouldn't be happy. In this way, the father will have other children."

"Then...what if the person my father wants to marry is your Uncle Kou? Your Uncle Kou can't have children, and won't have children."

"Really?" The little princess jumped up happily, "Okay, okay, let's marry Uncle Kou, then, we will still be in the family, and no strangers will live in."

Although Li Xu mentioned the matter between him and Kou Xiao to the little princess before, the child's view of feelings is not intuitive, but when he said that the two are going to get married and that they will not have children after marriage, the little princess is happy.

After she was happy, the little princess asked tangledly, "Will Shu'er call Uncle Kou Concubine Mother from now on?" She wrinkled her little nose, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's a bit strange to be called like this, I dare to call Uncle Kou dare to answer." ?"

Li Xu encouraged her with a smirk: "You'll know if you try it."

That night, after dinner, the little princess walked up to Kou Xiao shyly. Kou Xiao thought she was still struggling with her younger brother's affairs, so he heard the other party whisper: "Mother Concubine..."

Kou Xiao petrified on the spot, stiff like a wooden man.

Hearing no response, the little princess said disappointedly: "Uncle Kou really doesn't like me calling him concubine mother."

Kou Xiao moved his mouth, looked at the person leaning forward and back laughing, and asked helplessly, "Why do you call me concubine mother?"

The little princess blinked, and said confidently: "Because you are going to marry the father, isn't that the princess? Why don't you call me the concubine?"

Kou Xiao had an idea and said, "Call me father or daddy."

Li Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Kou Xiao, wishing he could swallow the words back, the daughter belongs to him alone, how could he recognize a second father, not even a partner.

The little princess couldn't cry out, stomped her feet and ran away, Kou Xiao whistled, looked at Li Xu and said, "Don't worry, my lord, one day I will let her call me daddy."

Li Xu continued to stare at him, "You are so beautiful, you are neither born nor raised, why should you call your father?"

Kou Xiao thought so, and when he came back the next day, he brought a long convoy full of boxes, and he didn't know what was inside.

When Li Xu came back from the outside, these boxes had already been unloaded in the yard, he asked in surprise: "Did the dowry come so early?" He hadn't even set the wedding date yet.

The servants of the palace and the Kou family army just pretended not to hear such obvious words, and lowered their heads to do what they should do.

Kou Xiao leaned into his ear and whispered: "It's not the dowry, it's my property, and it all belongs to the public. From today onwards, I will be counted as a share in raising the little princess, and each of us will pay half of the money. In this way, she will call me Is Daddy alright?"

Li Xu regretted that he spoke too fast and gave Kou Xiao a chance to take advantage of it, but these things belonged to Kou Xiao, and it would not be appropriate to transport them back, so he asked Liu Shu to reopen a warehouse for Kou Xiao to store things. He doesn't care if it's in the middle. After the two get married, they will share the property, and his money is Kou Xiao's money. After all, Kou Xiao will not suffer.

The child was not sent to the Salesian Bureau in the end, but he didn't say under whose name it was adopted, so he lived in the backyard of the palace, under the care of two women during the day, and Aunt Xu took him to sleep at night, and occasionally Liu Shu would Taking him to sleep in his room has become the treasure of the servants.

Liu Shu asked Li Xu to name the child. Li Xu didn't even know what surname he should give him. Finally, after a group of people discussed it, they decided to take the surname Li. In this way, no one doubted that he was a servant of the royal family.

Li Xu said casually, "Then let's call him Li Bai. I hope he can become a great poet in the future, and live a romantic life like a great poet."

Li Xu doesn't know how many people named Li Bai in history, but only one is famous. Even if there is really a great poet named Li Bai in the future, who would care if there was a person with the same name and surname hundreds of years ago?

And I don't know if there is such a dynasty as the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know which direction history will develop.
