Liu Mingzhi casually picked up the tobacco bag on the stone table, turned around and looked at Liu Zhi'an, Qi Run and the others.
"Old man, father-in-law, you all heard what Yun'er said just now.
Now I have to rush to the East Palace with Yun'er, Yan'er, Wanyuan and their sisters.
Are you elders planning to wait for the news at home? Or come with us to the East Palace? "
Liu Zhi'an glared at Young Master Liu angrily, put down the wine glass in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corner of his mouth casually a few times.
"Bastard, isn't what you're asking nonsense?
My granddaughter-in-law is about to give birth soon, so naturally your mother and I, the grandfather, have to rush to the East Palace together. "
Qi Run waited until Liu Zhi'an finished speaking, and immediately echoed: "Zhi'er, Jingyao is a good granddaughter-in-law for me and your mother-in-law!"
Your father and mother, the grandfather and grandmother, have gone, so why should I and your mother-in-law not go? "
Mrs. Liu adjusted her clothes and walked gently to Young Master Liu's side.
"Zhi'er, let's go there quickly."
Mrs. Qi nodded and agreed softly: "Yes, yes, our home is still some distance from the East Palace. Let's leave quickly."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly and walked straight outside the snow viewing pavilion.
"Yun'er."
"I'm here."
"Don't forget to tell Yu'er later to bring a few maids to the Snow Pavilion to pack up the remaining things."
Qi Yun heard her husband's explanation and immediately replied softly: "Okay, I understand."
As Young Master Liu hurried on his way, he couldn't help but think of Chen Jie and He Shu.
Immediately, Young Master Liu quickly turned back to Liu Chengfeng and waved to Liu Chengqian and his brothers.
"Ride the wind and achieve success."
Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengqian heard their father's greeting and quickly followed him.
"Dad, the baby is here."
"You two brothers rushed to the stable immediately, took some good horses and waited outside the house."
"Yes, I understand, kid."
The two brothers hugged Young Master Liu, braved the oncoming wind and snow, and took the lead in running towards the exit of the garden.
"Zhenghao, Zhengran."
"The child is here."
"You two brothers, please rush to the Prince's old residence immediately and inform your Aunt Jie'er to rush to the East Palace immediately."
"Okay, dad, let's leave first."
"Go to the stable in the backyard and ride there."
Amidst the howling wind and snow, the echoes of brothers Liu Zhenghao and Liu Zhengran came directly.
"Dad, the kid knows."
"Yiyi, Feifei, Yue'er."
"Daddy, the baby is here."
"Where is your Aunt He Shu?"
"Hey, we're a step ahead."
"Be safe."
"Dad, don't worry."
After Liu Mingzhi explained everything he had thought to his children in succession, he took a long breath of hot breath.
"Mother, mother-in-law."
"Son, tell me."
"Zhi'er?"
"Mother, after we arrive outside the mansion later, my son, Yun'er, sister Ya, and I will ride to the East Palace on horseback.
Chengzhi, Jingyao, the young couple.
One is a first-time father and the other is a first-time mother.
None of them had much experience in childbirth.
Yun'er, Sister Ya and the other sisters can help this brat Chengzhi after they arrive at the East Palace.
Therefore, the child will not accompany you in the carriage. "
Mrs. Liu heard her eldest son's words and nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, now that my mother knows it, I'll just do as you say."
After about half a cup of tea,
Young Master Liu and his group had arrived outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
As soon as Liu Mingzhi walked out of the house, Liu Song trotted towards him.
"Master Qi, the carriage is ready."
"Okay, let's drive."
"I obey, little one."
"Dad, the horses are here."
Liu Mingzhidan smiled and nodded, turned to look at Qi Yun and the other sisters and signaled.
"Yun'er, Wanyuan, let's go first."
"Hey, my sisters know it."
Young Master Liu got on his horse and flicked the whip in his hand vigorously.
"drive!"
Qi Yun, the Queen and her sisters followed closely and waved the riding whips in their hands.
"drive!"
"drive!"
Amidst the soft drinks, the figures of Mr. Liu and his wife gradually disappeared into the snow.
Liu Song held the riding whip in one hand and opened the curtain on the carriage with the other.
"Sir, madam, please get in the car."
"coming."
Outside the palace gate.
Liu Mingzhi and his wife gently pulled the reins of their horses a few times and stopped steadily in front of the palace gate.
"Stop visitors, no one is allowed in front of the palace gate..."
"My minister Wu Yun is here to see your majesty, and to all of you empresses. Long live my emperor, and my empress is a thousand years old."
"We see your majesty, we see you ladies, long live, thousands, thousands, thousands of years."
"You are exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go on duty."
"We obey."
"drive."
Liu Mingzhi gave a soft drink and walked toward the city gate.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, let's rush to the East Palace immediately."
"Sisters, I obey."
"We respectfully send His Majesty back to the palace, and we respectfully send you ladies back to the palace."
After Liu Mingzhi arrived at the East Palace, he got off his horse and walked toward the main hall of the East Palace.
After Qi Yun got off her horse, she quickly picked up an oil-paper umbrella prepared in advance and chased after him.
"Husband, the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, oil-paper umbrella."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the beauty's voice, he waved his hand without looking back: "Yun'er, no need, my husband is wearing a big cloak! It's not cold at all now, you sisters just hold on by yourself."
"Okay, I know."
Before Liu Mingzhi saw the main hall, he saw a group of palace maids busy carrying copper basins.
When the busy palace gatekeepers saw Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, her sisters and others, they hurriedly came up to them and bowed.
"This servant is here to see your Majesty, and to all of you ladies."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I ask you, where is the second prince now?"
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince is wandering back and forth outside the main hall door!"
"Go and get busy."
"Slave, I obey."
The Queen turned around and glanced in the direction of the main hall of the East Palace, and tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve.
"You're heartless, let's get there quickly."
Liu Mingzhi nodded gently and breathed a few warm breaths into his palms.
"Let's go."
When Young Master Liu and his party rushed to the palace garden of the main palace, they immediately saw Liu Chengzhi pacing back and forth outside the palace gate.
At this moment, Liu Chengzhi was clasping his hands tightly together and looking nervously into the hall.
Qi Yun put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and trotted towards the door of the palace.
"Chengzhi."
When Liu Chengzhi heard his mother's words, he immediately trembled and hurriedly turned around to greet her.
"My son, I'll pay my respects to my father, my mother, and my aunts."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand casually and looked up in the direction of the main hall where the girl Li Jingyao's painful cries were coming from.
"No gifts."
"Chengzhi, hurry up and forgive me, hurry up and forgive me."
"Thank you dad, thank you mom, thank you all aunts."
Young Master Liu had already heard Li Jingyao's voice full of pain, and Qi Yun, the Queen and her sisters were no exception.
Qi Yun listened to the painful cries from the palace and quickly tugged on Liu Chengzhi's sleeves.
"My child, how is girl Jingyao doing now?"
Liu Chengzhi glanced at the palace gate not far away with worry, and shook his head at Qi Yun helplessly.
"Mother, Yao'er is in labor right now, and I can't go in.
Therefore, I don’t know how Yaoer is doing now. "
Qi Yun stuffed the oil-paper umbrella in Liu Chengzhi's hand, and while walking towards the palace door, she raised her hands to signal to Qi Ya, the Queen, Murong Shan and the other sisters.
"Sisters, let's go in first and take a look at the situation."
The queen and her sisters nodded without hesitation and immediately walked towards the palace door.
"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly."
Liu Chengzhi looked nervously at the palace door that was opened and then closed by Qi Yun and the Queen. He clasped his hands together and beat them hard.
"God bless me, I must keep Jingyao safe and sound!"
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengzhi's expression of excitement, but at the same time he was so nervous that he was at a loss. He flicked the snow on his arm with his fingers, and there was a trace of vague memories in his eyes.
From his son Liu Chengzhi, he seemed to see what he looked like when he was young and a new father.
They are all so excited and nervous.
As if in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
The young boy back then is now a father.
Liu Mingzhi tightened his tight cloak and rubbed his slightly cold hands with a look full of emotion.
"Chengzhi."
Liu Chengzhi quickly stopped staring at the palace door and looked at Young Master Liu with a somewhat confused expression.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Young Master Liu slowly walked up to his son, raised his hands with a smile, and patted the thin layer of snow on his cloak for him.
"You brat, congratulations on becoming a father. You are going to be a father too."
When Liu Chengzhi saw the smile on his father's face, the tension on his face gradually relaxed.
"Thank you, Dad."
Young Master Liu tightened the cloak around Liu Chengzhi's body and nodded happily.
"You brat, this is the day you truly grow up!
From now on, you kid must not let Jingyao suffer a big loss. "
Liu Chengzhi turned his head and glanced in the direction of the main hall, and nodded vigorously to Young Master Liu.
"Yeah, yeah, dad, don't worry, the child will never owe Jingyao anything."
"That's good, that's good."
When Liu Chengzhi heard his wife's increasingly painful cries, he looked towards the palace door with a worried expression.
"Dad, Jingyao's shouts are getting louder and louder.
When the child heard her painful voice, he felt helpless. Is Jingyao going to be okay? "
Liu Dashao smiled and patted his son's shoulders a few times, then looked towards the main hall ahead with a chuckle.
"Don't worry, brat, nothing will happen.
When a woman becomes a mother for the first time, she has to go through this.
I think back on those days, when your mother gave birth to you and Yaoyao, your two siblings, the situation was not much better than that of Jingyao girl.
Your aunts, the same situation happened when you gave birth to your brothers, sisters and others.
When you were a father, you were more anxious than you are now!
Don't worry, nothing will happen. "
Liu Chengzhi nodded vigorously when he heard his father's words of relief.
"Hey, kid, I understand."
"Be still and wait with peace of mind. Your boy will be a father soon."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
Young Master Liu shuddered and glanced at Liu Chengzhi subconsciously.
"Chengzhi, have you sent someone to notify your grandmother?"
"Yes, it's the grandmother who the child asked to inform."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, adjusted his cloak, and immediately faced Nangong Meng.
"And I, Liu Mingzhi, pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother good health."
Nangong Meng gently exhaled a breath of hot air and watched Young Master Liu holding up his hands.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"My grandson, Liu Chengzhi, pays homage to my grandmother. I wish her longevity and good health."
"Good boy, please forgive me."
"Thank you grandma."
Nangong Meng tightened her snow-white fox fur cloak and raised her eyes to glance in the direction of the main hall.
"Mingzhi, how is girl Jingyao?"
"After returning to my mother, she is in labor."
Nangong Meng glanced at the maids who were walking in and out of the hall carrying hot water, and walked towards the door of the hall with a lot of steps.
"You two, please continue talking. The Aijia will go in and take a look first."
"Mother, please."
"Grandma please."
Liu Mingzhi watched Nangong Meng walk into the hall, and suddenly heard noisy footsteps behind him.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Liu's soft voice sounded.
"Zhier, Chengzhi."
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze and quickly turned around to look over.
"Mother."
"My grandson, Liu Chengzhi, pays homage to grandpa, pays homage to grandma, pays homage to grandpa, and pays homage to grandma."
"Well, no gifts."
"Hurry up and get rid of the gift, hurry up and get rid of the gift."
"Thank you, grandparents. Thank you, grandparents."
Madam Liu walked to Young Master Liu's side, shook her head and looked at the main hall in front of her.
"Mingzhi, how is girl Jingyao doing now?"
Young Master Liu turned sideways and glanced in the direction of the main hall, then raised his eyebrows with his fingers.
"Go back to mother, I don't know about the baby, but it should be born soon."
Mrs. Liu frowned slightly and turned to look at Mrs. Qi next to her.
"My mother-in-law, let's go in and take a look first."
"Okay, okay, let's go in."
The third princess, Yun Qingshi, Qinglian and the other sisters quickly followed.
"Mom, let's go together too."
"Okay, okay, come with me."
Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengqian happily hugged Liu Chengzhi.
"Second brother, congratulations."
"Second brother, congratulations on becoming a father."
"Brother, third brother, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the backs of Madam Liu, Madam Qi and the others as they walked into the palace door, reached out and untied the tobacco pouch from his waist, and walked towards the pavilion not far away without haste.
Liu Zhi'an exhaled hot breath into his palms, took off his tobacco bag, and also walked towards the pavilion.
Liu Zhi'an saw Young Master Liu playing with his cigarette bag, and handed over his cigarette bag with a smile.
"You brat, smoke my tobacco. My tobacco is better."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and happily took out a handful of tobacco from Liu Zhian's pipe.
Liu Zhi installed a pot of tobacco and sighed softly.
"You little bastard, congratulations, you are going to be a grandpa again!"
Young Master Liu blew on the fire, first lit the tobacco for Liu Zhi'an, and then lit his own tobacco.
Young Master Liu took a long puff of dry cigarette and put the fire stick into his sleeve with a smile.
"My young master also congratulates you, you are going to be a great-grandfather again."
Liu Zhi'an spit out the light smoke in his mouth with a smile, and looked towards the main hall not far away with a smile.
"Boy, do you think Jingyao gave birth to a boy or a girl?"
"In this young master's case, both grandson and granddaughter are the same."
"Hehehe, that's true."
The two men said nothing more, smoking their dry cigarettes silently, looking at the palace gate in front of them and waiting quietly.
It took about a cup of tea.
In the hall where Li Jingyao's painful cries were heard frequently, a loud cry suddenly came.
Liu Zhi'an and Young Master Liu's eyes lit up one after another, and they exhaled the light smoke in their mouths vigorously.
The ancestors had spirits in heaven and were finally born.
Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, I was finally born.
The palace door opened, and Qi Yun ran out with a smile on her face.
"Husband, husband, Jingyao has given birth to a son."
"I know, take good care of girl Jingyao's body."
"Hey, I understand."
"Congratulations, bastard."
"Old man, we are all happy together."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he looked dimly at the dim sky with falling crystal snowflakes, and exhaled heavily.
“Now I have my eldest grandson, and my second grandson is also here.
It’s time for this young master to look outside, and no longer be limited to his own one-third of an acre of land. "
