Chapter 106 Prince (1)
In the ninth year of Chuping, when the country was stable and people’s livelihood gradually recovered, the hundred officials suggested that the prince should be established as early as possible.
It was autumn, when a palace person returned from the Qianqiu Long Live Hall, and said that when His Majesty was about to return after the court meeting, he also talked about the matter of the meeting.
The emperor and empress have always been harmonious and talked about everything. The palace people never shy away from talking about such political affairs in front of the empress. As the emperor, Liu Yu often took the initiative to inform Ashu of political affairs, and Ashu was also measured, not only himself He seldom interfered, and even instructed the Zhao family not to rely on their own relatives and act ostentatiously.
At the moment, Ah Shu was holding her four-year-old daughter, Ah Qi, in front of her, and she was combing her hair finely against the makeup.
The young girl has a pretty face, like a plump and round peach, and her beautiful eyebrows are still childish, but she has already shown the same beauty as her mother.
Xu Shicai was having fun with her cousin Adai just now. At this moment, Adai has been brought back to the mansion to live in the mansion by Ah Zhao, who has rarely come to the palace, while Ah Qi is still in the palace because of her young age, and is now leaning on her mother. She fell into a deep sleep in her arms, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her black and soft hair stuck to her pink-white skin.
Ah Shu lovingly kissed her daughter’s flour face, and moved her hands more and more softly, wiping the fine sweat for her while combing her hair.
After the palace servant finished speaking softly, A Shu put down the wooden comb in her hand, stood up carefully, put a soft pillow under her daughter’s head, covered her with a thin quilt, touched her cheek, and led the palace servant to the outside. , while ordering someone to prepare soup, while asking, “How do you say it?”
The man in the palace smiled and said, “All the officials have elected Duke Donghai. Your Majesty naturally also likes Duke Donghai. Although we haven’t made a final decision today, looking at this situation, we should decide on Duke Donghai.”
Three years ago, when Aqi was one year old, Liu Yu named several boys each with a title. A Dai was posthumously named King of Qi because of his father Liu Yu, and he became the Lord of Weng; A Qi was Princess Wuyang; Po Nu was named Liu Yuan and was named Duke of Shanyang; Qingque was named Liu Yang and was named Duke of Donghai .
Hearing this, Ah Shu couldn’t help but ask, “What did Duke Shanyang say? Are you dissatisfied?”
The palace man thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: “I don’t know, I just remember that at the time, there was nothing wrong with it.”
A Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but still not completely relieved.
Po Nu is now a sixteen-year-old boy, when he is full of energy and smug. Although he has always been close to her as an aunt, and has an open-minded and open-minded nature, he was raised by his uncle as an heir for several years when he was young.
Just as the palace servants took the prepared soup and entered, they heard cheerful footsteps coming from outside the hall, followed by the clear call of a young man: “Mother!”
Ah Shu hurriedly greeted her, with a pair of high-spirited faces, she first smiled, then made a silent gesture: “Be quiet, Ah Qi is so tired that she is falling asleep, don’t wake her up. .”
Qing Que just dispersed from the court meeting, still wearing a neat dark coat, she laughed when she heard the words, she bowed to her mother first, and then she poked her head and looked into the inner room, and when she saw her sister was still asleep , then patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, little Aqi still hasn’t woken up. The little girl can really sleep!”
A-shu was busy taking off his coat for him, and feigned anger when she heard the words: “A-qi and Sister A-dai have been playing crazy together for a while today, I’m tired now, when you were younger, you could sleep better than her. ”
When Qing Que heard this, her little face grinned, and she stuck out her tongue shyly. He is already ten years old, and he can already make a calm appearance in front of outsiders, but when he comes to his parents and relatives, he shows the appearance of an innocent child.
Ah Shu put on a wider robe for him, and after rubbing his head again, she began to look out of the hall.
Qing Que looked up at her mother, followed her, and said with a smile, “Does my mother really see when my father will come back?”
Ah Shu rarely blushed. Hearing this, he stretched out another slender index finger, poked his little head lightly, and said angrily, “You child, you asked for a reason.”
The voice just fell, and on the wide road, you can see the figure of Liu Yu leading Po Nu on foot.
Over the past few years, Ah Shu has completely faded away from the immaturity of a young girl, and has become a mature, gentle and beautiful woman, but when she saw her husband at this time, she subconsciously showed a happy and shy childish smile, as if again She became the girl who taught people to be heartbroken and unforgettable many years ago.
Liu Yu, who was on the way, obviously felt his wife’s attention, and couldn’t help but laugh.
He is not confused in his approaching age, his body is slightly wider than before, the lines on the corners of his eyes are deeper, and there are more silver threads in his hair. He seems to be a middle-aged man. Brilliant.
But when he looked at his wife, the eyes full of tenderness and love were the same as before.
This appearance, in A Shu’s eyes, is still the handsome and gentle young man back then.
“Little boy, I’m back.” Before Liu Yu stepped into the hall, he grabbed A Shu’s hand and said, carefully looking at her from top to bottom with his eyes, as if he couldn’t see enough.
A Shu’s face was hot from his gaze, and because the two children were still on the side, she couldn’t help tugging at the corner of his clothes, gave him a quiet glance, and finally pointed to the inner room, and said softly, “A Qi is sleeping.”
Saying that, he lifted up the broken slave who had just bowed his hands and said softly, “Don’t be so polite, there is a good soup on the table, it is hot, go and drink some.”
After the two children were sitting on the couch, she led Liu Yu into the inner room behind the screen, and while changing his clothes and cleaning his face, she whispered, “I heard that today the husband and the courtiers are discussing the establishment of a prince, and they all recommend Qingque. That punk—”
Before she could finish speaking, she untied the belt in her hand, but Liu Yu hugged her into his arms, lowered her head and kissed her lips for a long while, until her blushing deepened, and then she gradually let go, and said with a vague chuckle: “I said earlier that we want our little blue bird to be the prince and the emperor in the future. Don’t worry, I know you have to worry, and I have already told Po Nu about this beforehand. He is really the same as his father, a man with a wealth of life. As an ambitious and clear-cut child, I would also like to thank you for teaching him so well…”
When Ah Shu heard the words, she was completely relieved. When she was in a trance, she was hugged by him and kissed again.
When the two of them became more affectionate, there was a sudden screeching sound on the couch, and A Qi, who had just been sleeping soundly, woke up, looking at her parents curiously with her hazy eyes open, and said in a milky voice, “Father and mother. what are you doing?”
Ah Shu immediately blushed with shame, buried her face in Liu Xiu’s chest, and beat him lightly to show her dissatisfaction.
Liu Yu was also a little embarrassed, so she could not help coughing lightly, patted A Shu on the back to comfort her, then let go of her, put on the smile of a loving father, walked to the bed, leaned down and looked at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly on her cheek. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the red marks left on his face, and said, “Mother takes care of you and your brother. It’s too hard! My father kissed her and taught her not to be so hard.”
After speaking, without waiting for Aqi to think about it, she changed the topic: “Aqi, don’t be lazy, get up, Brother Ponu and Brother Qingque are already drinking hot soup!”
Ah Qi was still young, and when she heard her father’s words, she quickly forgot her doubts, got up from the couch, and ran to the outer room with her short legs, calling out, “Ah Brother, save some for Aqi!”
Qingque smiled and did not speak, and pretended to take her share away, but Po Nu took the initiative before her sister got angry, brought it to her mouth, and patiently fed her to drink.
A Shu has also changed clothes for Liu Yu, and stepped out of the inner room to sit with the children.
A Qi seemed to remember her father’s words just now, her round eyes rolled in a circle, she leaned affectionately into A Shu’s arms, and put her small mouth stained with soup on A Shu’s left cheek and kissed it loudly. a bit.
A Shu was stunned for a moment, and while holding her daughter, she took a towel and wiped the stains on her face. She smiled and said, “What’s wrong with A Qi?”
With a serious face, Ah Qi pointed to Liu Yu, who was drinking soup with him, and said, “Father just now said that it’s hard for mother to take care of her brother and Ah Qi, so it’s not so hard to kiss her, so Ah Qi wants to kiss her mother. .”
Ah Shu was suddenly a little embarrassed, and couldn’t help but glanced at Liu Yu who was beside him.
The broken slave is already sixteen and has understood a lot of things. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly, not daring to look up. Qing Que was a little smaller, and said with suspicion: “Take it seriously? If you kiss your mother, it won’t be hard work? Then I will also kiss her.”
As he said that, he put down the bowl and sat down next to A Shu in two or three times before approaching.
Liu Yu couldn’t bear it any longer, he put down the bowl heavily, and feigned anger, “Qing Que, be careful with your words and deeds.”
Although he usually looks like a loving father, if his children make mistakes, he never tolerates them, so once he puts his face up, he can teach them to be shocked.
Sure enough, Qing Que withdrew her hand and sat up straight before she whispered, “But Aqi said it was my father.”
Liu Yu coughed lightly, his face was still cold, but his earlobes turned red: “Qing Que, you are no longer a child, you should learn from Ponu.”
Po Nu was suddenly named, and hurriedly restrained his smile, and sat up in a serious manner.
Ah Qi also kept silent, staring blankly at her father.
As soon as Liu Yu’s eyes touched the little daughter, he softened a lot, and he couldn’t help softening his voice, saying, “Mother is a mother, you must not be too presumptuous in front of your mother.” After speaking, he said solemnly, “You are all grown up. , I can no longer kiss my mother casually, only my father can.”
Qing Que and A Qi looked at each other inexplicably, and then looked at their parents and elder brothers, who had no difference in their faces. They nodded convincingly, and said in unison, “Got it.”
Ah Shu really couldn’t bear to see how Liu Yu was coaxing the child like this, so she quickly turned her face away, glared at him secretly, and then turned to the child and said softly, “Okay, drink all the soup, don’t get cold.”
The family sat and talked for a while, and when both Aqi and Qingque were sent back to the house, Po Nu did not leave with them.
When Ah Shu saw that he had something to say, Fang ordered the palace people to retreat further, made him sit down, and said warmly, “Do you have something to say about Po Nu?”
Po Nu glanced at Liu Yu, who was also sitting beside him, and said with a smile: “Today, the courtiers proposed to establish a prince, and my aunt already knew about it. I just want to say a word to my aunt, and I would also like to make Qingque the crown prince.”
He is much taller now, no different from ordinary young people, and even his handsome face is more calm. When he said this, he had a gentle face, a sincere voice, and no falsification.
Ah Shu looked at him carefully, and there was a little water in her gentle eyes.
This child, for all these years, she treated him like a parent and child. She deliberately stayed today, probably to say it herself, to reassure her.
Liu Yuyi smiled, stretched out his hand silently, caressed her behind her back and forth, breaking through the slave and said, “Your aunt just taught me not to teach you to be sad, now it’s good, you can explain it yourself. ”
When Po Nu said what was in his heart, he felt cheerful in body and mind, and couldn’t help but say, “I always remember how my aunt treated me well. It’s just that it doesn’t belong to me. Besides, compared to staying in the palace and being offered to me by others, I prefer to be the general who gallops on the battlefield and makes great achievements. In the future, Qingque will be the emperor, and I will be the general who guards the territory for him.”
Seeing his full of arrogance, Liu Yu suddenly stood up, praised “Okay”, patted him on the shoulder and said, “If your father was still here, he would be proud of you.”
Po Slave was so complimented that he was moved for a while.
Ah Shu pursed her lips and smiled and pulled the two of them down, then pulled Po Nu and said, “You’re sixteen this year, it’s one thing to make a career, but your aunt has to find a good girl for you first.”
Nowadays, most men are married before the age of 20, especially in the noble family of the queen, they will marry two years earlier in order to seek an heir.
When Po Nu heard this, he suddenly smiled shyly and said, “I will not hide it from my aunt, I also have some thoughts on this matter…”
A Shu couldn’t help but look at Liu Yu, and with this appearance, she thought she was interested in that family’s daughter.
A Shu hurriedly said: “Tell me, which woman is from? As long as it is a woman from an innocent family, my aunt will definitely ask for it for you.”
Po Nu laughed more and more shyly, hesitated for a while, then Fang mustered up his courage and said, “I want to marry Alo…”
A Shu was stunned, this A Luo was actually a fourteen-year-old girl in her Zhao clan. In terms of seniority, it should be her cousin. She has also been in and out of the Nangong in the past two years, and they are also childhood sweethearts. , grow up together.
This is naturally good. Liu Yu was very satisfied, nodded with a smile and said, “You kid, you have already made up your mind. When your aunt asks Alo, if she wants, please be your wife.”
Po Nu was young and thin-skinned, and after a vague response, he left in a hurry.
Finally, there were only A Shu and Liu Yu in the room.
Liu Yu put his arms around her again, and said with a narrow smile, “So you can rest assured? Po Nu doesn’t have the heart to be a prince, and he has a crush on the Zhao family’s daughter, okay?”
Ah Shu sighed: “Bao Nu is too old, I didn’t know that he already has a woman he likes.”
Counting the time, the two have been together for more than ten years.
Liu Yan sighed softly, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, held her hand and touched his rough cheek, saying, “The children are all grown up and have their own blessings. The two of us should also pay more attention to it. My own life, you see, I am old, and if you don’t cherish me, it will be too late!”
Ah Shu chuckled, and kissed him lightly at the corner of his eyes: “My husband is old, and in my heart, he is still the most beautiful man in the world.”
She reached back and hugged him, burying her face in his chest.
Liu Yu felt contented for a while, and couldn’t help but bow his head to kiss her.
Ah Shu’s face was hot for a while, and she half pushed her back and complained, “I don’t want to be another kid!”
Liu Yu leaned against her cheek and laughed, held her hand to his heart, gently carried her back to the inner room, pressed her to the bedside, and said softly: “Don’t worry, we have both children, I have enough in my life. Now, in the future, I don’t want to teach you the pain of childbirth again.”
The bed curtain fell, covering up the lingering warmth.
