Wishing You Eternal Happiness

Three days later, the emperor saw Xiao Yu.

No one knows what happened during this meeting, not even Li Yuangui. After the meeting, the emperor stayed alone all night, the lights in the hall were blazing throughout the night.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial court's annual holiday was over, and the early imperial court resumed this morning. With the five drums approaching, Li Yuangui waited in and saw that the emperor was still in last night's costume. He was sitting on a screen couch, his face was dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have no sleep all night.

"Hurrah, can we postpone the morning of today, or just let it open tomorrow?"

Li Yuangui asked carefully.

The emperor turned his neck slowly and looked at Li Yuangui. He stared at him for a long time, his eyes dimmed. Just when Li Yuangui was gradually feeling uneasy, he suddenly heard the emperor ask: "Li Yuangui, you feel that I am wrong, right? "The voice is hoarse, extremely ugly.

Li Yuangui was startled and knelt to the ground in a hurry, kowtowing: "How can Long live say this? The world is no exception. Moreover, since Long live has been at the pole, he has been working hard and loving the people. Long live can go to the South Gate Tongle Building to see. In the past few days, from morning to night, the people rushed to worship in front of the tower, and spontaneously prayed to the sky for long live. This is the case for the people, and so are the slaves and maids!"

The emperor sneered: "What you said is nice, I am afraid that you are also slandering me in your heart! Yes, each of them is a loyal minister! All righteous men! Only I am an unrighteous person!"

Li Yuangui lay on the ground and kept kowtow: "Long live the anger, the slaves dare not!"

The emperor turned over from the couch, walked on the ground with one hand on his hips, his expression gradually excited.

"Fine, what's the matter! Let them be loyal ministers! Be righteous men! Let me be the unrighteous person! I am not afraid!"

After almost snarling this, the emperor stopped in front of Li Yuangui, was alone for a moment, and then sneered: "Even the sky is on my side! Youan thought he would win me this time. He didn't expect. In the end he lost!"

"My son, doesn't know my painstaking efforts, refuses to recognize me, and fight me. He doesn't want my things!"

"What I don't give, no one in this world can take. What I want to give, no one in this world can refuse! He thought he could win me?"

"Li Yuangui, look, I put the words here, one day, I want him to come back by himself and bow his head willingly to me!"

"He can't beat me." The emperor said word by word.

Li Yuangui lay on the ground and looked up at the emperor in surprise, not daring to speak for a while.

The emperor closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath in his chest, his expression finally restored to his calmness.

"Today's meeting will not change. Let's change clothes!" The emperor said solemnly.

Li Yuangui responded and hurriedly got up from the ground and summoned the palace man.

"Is the King of Liuyang here?"

When changing clothes, the emperor suddenly asked.

The king of Liuyang was enshrined in the remote part of Xiangxi, his family was close to the branch, and he belonged to Xiao Lie’s nephew, but he was older than Xiao Lie. For many years, he honestly worked in that small Xiangxi fief The prince was unlucky. He is more than fifty years old and has not given birth to an heir. He has no children under his knees. He is gradually desperate. After his death, the prince will be eliminated. There are many royal family members in the Wei Dynasty. Among them, inconspicuous. At the end of each year, the emperor regularly selected some vassal vassals to participate in the court celebrations to show the grace of his clan. King Liuyang had not been allowed to enter the capital for more than ten years. I was very pleasantly surprised when I entered Beijing to participate in the ceremonial ceremonies. At that time, I was ready to pay tribute and brought the old princess to Beijing. I was unlucky and the road was not smooth. It was delayed for a few days and missed the first day of the ceremonial ceremonies.

"Long live, Liuyang Wang and his wife just arrived in the capital yesterday. Because they missed the greetings, they were terrified and begged for long live the crime."

Xiao Lie smiled and said, "It's fine when you arrive. What a crime. I want to summon the Liuyang couple today, and you will arrange it."

Li Yuangui should be.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Zhaoping, after the morning meeting, the emperor summoned Wang Liuyang and his wife in the palace, saying that the king of Liuyang loved the people during the festival, and the good name spread far. Therefore, this year, the couple was specially allowed to enter the capital together to congratulate him and give him a great reward. Liuyang Wang and his wife were grateful. After half a month in the capital, after the Lantern Festival, they resigned from Beijing and returned to Xiangxi.

This king of Liuyang, whose fief was small and poor, was old, and the king waited for him to die, he would be removed. It was too inconspicuous, so even the emperor’s extraordinarily kindness to him did not attract much attention. The courtiers only thought The emperor's move was to set a model for the many vassals of the Great Wei Dynasty, so no one cared about it, and no one talked about it again within a few days.

Destiny is like this, and it is often caught off guard. Including today's Liuyang Wang and his wife, no one would have imagined that this small episode of today will become a prelude to the situation in the world in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Even though Pei Youan is talented and wise, how can he imagine that he is far away from the Great Wall at this moment, and the undercurrent will arise from then on?

When he decided to turn around and head south, he thought he had already calculated everything, but he forgot to consider one thing.

That was the heart of the young man he wanted to fulfill.

"I heard that Long live looking for me, so I came. Everything started because of me. From today onwards, I will bear all the sins, and I will bear no grievances."

This was the first sentence the young man said when he saw the emperor that day.

From this point of view, he did not win the emperor.

In this round, the monarch, the father and the son, were all defeated, and there was no winner.

...

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival passed, and Jiafu has been here for more than half a month. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, compared with the past, it is difficult. The only vegetables that can be eaten every day are cabbage and radishes. There is no fresh fruit. The frostbite on the feet has not been healed. She was wrapped up like a fat rice dumpling when she went out. On a whim that day, Pei Youan asked her to take her out again. He accidentally sank his leg into the snow and couldn't move himself. He stayed there like a spring onion in the snow. He was finally pulled out by Pei Youan, and he laughed a lot later, but he was very satisfied in his heart. What's even more happier is that in the past few days, Pei Youan has been busy connecting the house where he lived with the one connected to the side, and transformed a special bathroom.

It's too cold here, local residents, some people just wash their bodies once or twice a winter. Gaffer has always loved cleanliness. He used to take a bath every day in summer and at least once every two days in winter in her family's home or in Beijing. But when she got here, taking a bath became a problem. Although there is a bathtub, it occupies a lot of space. The small room appears to be narrower and smaller, and you have to bump it when you turn around. The kitchen is also far away from the room where you live, heating up half of the bathtub. Water is inconvenient to enter the house, and there is no way to add hot water. In this kind of weather, it is often poured in, and it will be cold after a short while. The winter here is very long. The weather will only warm up in March and April, and there are still several months of severe cold. If you can take a hot bath comfortably, it really becomes a luxury.

In the first month, the stockyard was also free, so Pei Youan found a plasterer from the city to open up two houses and divide the house next door into two. A stove was built at the front and a bath room at the back. He called a blacksmith again, paid more money, and asked to step up the firing of the iron pipe according to the drawings he had drawn. The pipe was twisted and twisted. The craftsman hadn’t burned it before. I don’t know what it was used for, but the owner appointed it. Not afraid of the cost, he didn’t hesitate to make the mold. After trying it several times, it took a few days. Pei Youan sent the pipes requested by Pei Youan. Pei Youan connected the water outlet of the stove with a pipe, and led the other end into the bath room. Every time you take a bath, you only need to burn hot water in the stove and open the cork at the end of the bath room. It keeps flowing in. What's more convenient is that there is a pipe with cold water on the side. The heat and cold are mixed, so you can soak for as long as you want.

With this new bath room, it not only completely solved the problem of Jiafu bathing, but also made it convenient for the two girls next to the house to fetch hot water, not to mention the need to carry water. The day the bathroom is completed, three People are very happy. Only the old mother Ding of Ding’s family saw Pei Youan busy at first, and spent a lot of money to invite people to make those things, thinking that they would be used for something big, but finally found out that she was just trying to make a place for her to take a bath. 'S stunned and speechless.

That night, there was heavy snow outside, but the house was full of spring. It was the first time that Jiafu used the new bath room, and it went smoothly. After taking a hot bath, her pores were relaxed and her skin was pale pink. When she lay down, Pei Youan sat at the end of the bed and helped her rub her health. The instep of frostbite.

Gaffer praised him: "I didn't expect Master Pei to even be able to do this."

Pei Youan smiled: "The beauty will take a new bath, and the Fuyu will open up. As long as my Fuer is satisfied, I will do everything."

Gaffer knew that he was teasing herself and "did everything". It sounded like she couldn't help but want to bend, her face was hot, and she bounced lightly under her chest, biting her lip and said, "You are getting more and more. It's not serious, how could I not know before."

Pei Youan stared at her delicate face that was bothersome and ashamed. Suddenly, there was an impulse in her heart that he hadn't had for a long time, and asked softly, "Does the foot still hurt or itchy?"

Gaffer shook his head: "It's much better."

Pei Youan ordered her to lie down sideways, lower her waist, and bend her leg slightly.

Seeing him looking at her with gleaming eyes, and playing with her body posture herself, she thought he was suddenly interested and wanted to change his posture with herself. His heart beat faster and he was a little bit expectant, and his cheeks flushed. , But he hummed obediently, then quietly glanced in the direction of the door, poked him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Big cousin, the door hasn't been bolted yet..."

Pei Youan was startled.

When Jiafu came back to look for him, he didn't have much luggage with him, but one of the boxes contained all his books and such good stationery that the money could not buy. Chengni inkstone, songyan ink, eight-treasure stationery box, and many good rice paper and flower rafts.

She knew that he had never stopped reading before, because she was afraid that he would have nowhere to depend on this place, so she deliberately brought out such a heavy box. It's hard to repay in case. At first, it was only after seeing her out of the bath, her posture was charming and sultry. Suddenly, she became interested in painting a beauty couch for her, but she was reminded to lock the door, but she didn’t respond for a while. Come over, goodbye, she lowered her eyes shyly, and even the tips of her ears showed a shy pink color. She immediately understood, suppressed a smile, coughed slightly, and whispered in her ears: "Do you want to treat you like her husband?" Just because my husband just wanted to paint a picture for you."

Gaffer was taken aback, raised his eyes, and saw that he was looking at him with a suffocating smile. Only then did he realize that he was thinking about making things happen, and his face suddenly became hot. With a oops, he covered his face with both hands, turned over and lay on the pillow, pressing Frozen.

Pei Youan couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly, only feeling that he loved the girl in front of him very much.

With her arrival that night, this old house, which was originally dark and cold, became so warm and bright.

He pressed up, hugged her shoulders, kissed the nape of her neck and back, moved his lips to her ears, held her hot and delicate earlobes, and whispered: "How would Fuer want me to treat you tonight?"

Jiafu twisted her body to prevent him from kissing, and Pei Youan was quickly burned by her, so why didn't she have any more thoughts to paint, and was itchy by her talents just now, so she killed her Lie down like just now, you have to try it yourself.

Where could Jiafu be obedient this time, with a red face, and shook his head and refused.

Pei You'an feigned his face sinking: "What you said earlier, be nice to me."

Gaffer closed her eyes aggrievedly, and said: "Follow you, do it yourself! You bully me!"

Pei Youan was overwhelmed by her small appearance that wanted to refuse and greeted her. He lay down holding her and tried to play with her, but heard a voice from outside: "Master Pei, the date horse is about to give birth!"

Gaffer opened his eyes immediately.

"Go and see!"

She smiled in surprise, pushed him away, climbed off the bed, and quickly put on her clothes. Turning his head, he saw Pei Youan lying still, lazily.

"Hurry up!"

This mare did not give birth early and did not give birth late, and chose to give birth at this time. It is really...

Pei Youan sighed secretly and had to get out of bed.

Jiafu was originally afraid of the cold, but after arriving here, she wanted to see the mare every day. Now she heard that she was about to give birth, and was irritated. She hurriedly put on her clothes, turned around, opened the door, and left Pei Youan. Ran out. Pei Youan hurriedly chased her, grabbed her back, took a thick cloak to cover her, tied her neckband, and put on her a hat and gloves, wrapped tightly. Xue, the two went towards the stables.

The weather was freezing and the stables had blocked all the breaks, but the mare was carrying the foal, and Jiafu was always afraid that it would be cold. At night, he burned a horse manure furnace outside the stables. After entering, the inside was also warm. , There are lighting torches on the wall, and the mare is lying on the haystack by herself, working hard to produce.

Hearing that the mare was about to give birth, Lao Ding and his wife, Yang Yun and others all came to watch. Sandalwood and Muxiang were shy at first and did not dare to come to see them. Later, when they saw that Jiafu had also gone, they hurriedly rushed to see them.

Jiafu stood outside the stable door, waiting nervously and expectantly for the birth of the foal. Finally, seeing the horse hip pushed out a leg of the foal, she was pleasantly surprised, and opened her eyes wide, waiting for the birth of the foal. But the pony leg got stuck there and couldn't get out. The mare seemed to be losing strength, lying there, her stomach tumbled, and she couldn't help gasping.

Jiafu grabbed Pei Youan's arm and muttered: "What should I do? What should I do? It seems to be out of strength!"

Pei Youan comforted her a few words, took off her coat and asked her to hold it, and went into the stable by herself, fed the mare two handfuls of wheat, rubbed her abdomen for a moment, and then washed her hands. After coming to the horse's hip, he tried, slowly. Slowly reached in, fumbled for a moment, and finally pulled out the other horse's leg that was stuck in the hole, and then took the two hooves of the foal, and slowly, inch by inch, helped the mare to drag out. Pulling, finally, a group of things with white clothes came out of the mouth, and the head of the little pony came out.

The mare seemed to be encouraged, and then she produced a whole foal smoothly.

Gaffer breathed a sigh of relief, and cheered together with the sandalwood incense beside her.

This is a black little male foal with a very beautiful appearance. Lying in a thick haystack, wet all over, soon opened a pair of round eyes, shook his head, and looked at this new one curiously. world.

The mare quickly got up from the ground, came to the foal's side, stretched out her tongue, gently licked her newly born child, dangling her neck, and helping her raise her neck to stand.

Slowly, the foal's neck straightened, and the two front legs knelt on the ground. The mare continued to lick it. Slowly, the foal's hind hooves also knelt, finally, staggering. Standing up, rubbing the mare's neck and belly, the mother and the child are affectionate.

Jiafu was moved to tears by this scene, and she couldn't bear to leave. Pei Youan called her several times and saw that she was not leaving. He lay down in front of the fence and looked at the mother and son in the stable, as if he could not wait to stay here at night. , Smiled and said: "Zuoma knows how to take care of foals, don't worry. It's getting late, so you can go back and go to bed!"

Jiafu reluctantly left the stable, the two returned to the house, Pei Youan went to take a bath, Jiafu sat on the bed, lifted her cheeks in a daze.

Pei Youan came out of the bath room and went to bed. The two of them lie side by side.

"Big cousin, I want to give you a baby, do you like it?"

Gaffer whispered.

Pei Youan closed her eyes and did not respond, but the corners of her lips slowly turned upwards, and her palms rubbed her silky soft waist, gradually downwards.

"Big cousin, do you like boys or girls?"

Gaffer panted, clasping his rock-like shoulders tightly with both hands, but still quivered with questions.

"As long as Fuer gave birth to me, I like it..."

He whispered and kissed her lips.

Everything is silent, the snow of this night, falling on the roof, makes a faint rustling sound, and there is peace between heaven and earth.
