At his call, all the serving slaves quickly retreated as if they had been granted amnesty.
The air in the small courtyard is finally a bit fresher.
"Yep."
"Why did I forget this time..."
Li Shimin patted his forehead and said angrily,
"I am also anxious and confused..."
Xu Fenglei shrugged helplessly.
"Your Majesty, it's time to give birth. This is not the Queen's first child, so there is no need for you to be in such a hurry."
He comforted,
"It's not your first time to be a father. Logically speaking, you have already experienced it."
When Li Shimin heard this, he shook his head.
"No, it's different, it's different this time!"
He lamented with a sad face,
"Guanyin Maid, she was born prematurely and was not nursed to full term. In addition, the herpes on her waist just lasted two days..."
"I haven't had a good rest these past few days, I haven't eaten well, I haven't slept well... I'm going to give birth all of a sudden, what's wrong with that?"
"well!"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"It's okay, it's okay, the queen has her own destiny."
Seeing this, he could only try his best to comfort her.
"real?"
Li Shimin stared at him and said,
"You are the one who helped the poor, you said it bluntly!"
"Are you sure mother and child are safe and okay?"
Xu Fenglei: "???"
Good guy, these nicknames that I haven’t heard for many years have been shouted out.
"Sure, I'm sure! Okay!"
He spread his hands and said speechlessly,
"With Sun Simiao here, what are you worried about? The more you worry about it, the more chaotic it becomes!"
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
With the assurance of Xu Fenglei, a great stickman, the tension in my heart was finally relieved.
"You don't have a wife, you don't understand."
He waved his hand and replied.
At this moment, Li Er just set his sights on several children.
When he saw the strip of cloth rolled up on Li Tai's arm, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Qingque, what's wrong with your arm?"
Li Tai's heart skipped a beat.
"Go back...back to my father..."
He said with some guilt,
"When the child was playing, he accidentally fell and got a cut."
"Master has already cleaned and bandaged the child. It's okay, it's okay..."
Li Shimin's expression condensed.
"Come here, let me take a look."
At this moment, he also wanted to divert his attention with other things.
Li Tai pursed his lips, glanced at his master, and stepped forward timidly.
"Father, the baby is wrapped up, why don't you unwrap it and read it? It will be very painful."
He said weakly.
When Li Shimin heard this, he shook his head.
"Just take it apart and take a look. It won't hurt."
He held Li Tai's hand and said,
"Let me see if your injury is serious, father. Come here."
Li Tai couldn't resist his father and had no choice but to let him open it.
A look of help turned to the master, but the master could only curl his lips.
If he was obstructing him at this moment, it would appear to be deliberate and would arouse Li Er's suspicion even more.
But if you really take it apart and take a closer look... General Li Shimin, who has extensive experience in the battlefield, will definitely see that this is a stab wound!
He really told a lie, and he had to rely on countless lies to cover it up!
Just when Xu Fenglei was thinking hard, a loud voice suddenly came from inside the room:
"Wow!!!"
A cry, with extremely strong penetrating power, pierced the ears of everyone in the hospital.
"She's given birth! The Queen has given birth!"
"Your Majesty, the little prince is born, he is born!"
Li Shimin: "!!!"
Swish, swish, swish.
Hearing the cry, he randomly tied up the cloth strips on Li Tai's arms, and the next second, he rushed into the house!
Li Tai: "Meow meow meow?"
Dad, my dear good father, I am also your son!
There is no such distinction, right?
Looking at the strips of cloth on his arms, Fat Qingque wanted to cry but had no tears...
…
inside the house.
Several personal maids took out the silk cloth that had been prepared and presented the newborn baby, which had not yet opened its eyes, to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, congratulations! You are a prince!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The maids said auspicious words with smiles on their faces.
And when Li Shimin heard these two sentences, his frown instantly relaxed! That's a surprise!
"Prince? Really a prince?"
"Let me see it, let me see it!"
He took the child and looked at the wrinkled baby. He was so excited that his mouth almost reached the base of his chin!
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"There are rewards, there are rewards for everything! Hahahaha..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The smiles of the maids became even brighter.
The atmosphere in the room became more and more lively, and everyone was immersed in joy.
The eldest grandson Wujia on the bed looked a little pale, but he also showed a smile.
"Guanyin Maid."
Li Shimin's excitement passed, and he soon handed the child into the hand of the maid, immediately sat on the bedside, held his wife's hand, and said with concern,
"How are you? Are you okay?"
Changsun Wujia nodded slightly.
"Fortunately, it's easier than when I gave birth to Li Zi. Maybe it's because the baby was born prematurely and is relatively small..."
She whispered,
"How is the child? Can you look at me?"
Li Shimin waved quickly, and the maid held the baby in a posture that allowed the eldest grandson Wugou to see the child clearly.
"Look, this looks so much like me!"
Li Er laughed and said,
"This nose and eyes are like mine! This mouth and ears are like you."
"In the future, he will definitely be a handsome prince with a beautiful tree in the wind! Hahaha..."
Changsun Wujia pursed his lips.
"Wrinkled, too small..."
She said with some worry,
"I was happiest when I was still a baby. It was round and chubby. At first glance, I looked like a healthy baby."
"This child was born early, and I'm afraid he will be sick in the future..."
Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly.
"Nothing!"
He said hurriedly,
"This child will be safe and healthy!"
"Listen Ming, do you think so?"
As he spoke, he pushed Xu Fenglei with his elbow.
You kid, you must say nice words now to make our queen happy!
"Yes."
Xu Fenglei smiled and said,
"There is a saying in my hometown that a child born prematurely will be a talented person in the future. Think about it, he can't stay in his mother's womb and wants to come out early! What is this called?"
"This is called forging ahead! You are enterprising!"
"Hahaha……"
When he smiled, everyone laughed, and Li Er laughed the loudest.
"Yes, yes, this boy is like me. He is so aggressive that he was restless even in his mother's womb. He is so energetic!"
Li Shimin laughed and said,
"Guanyin maid, how are you? You don't believe what I say, but you will believe it after listening to Ming Ming's words, right?"
"He said he was a prince, and indeed he was a prince! He said mother and son were safe, and indeed mother and son were safe!"
"This kid is straight-talking, I recognize him!"
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his brows relaxed a little.
"That would be the best..."
She whispered,
"Your Majesty, give the prince a name."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"I have already thought about naming it."
He rubbed his hands and said,
"I originally thought that if it was a boy, just use the word "zhi"; if it was a girl, just use the word "an", which means peace and peace in the world."
"Now that we have a boy, let's call him Li Zhi. How about that?"
The eldest grandson Wugou nodded slightly.
"Just listen to your majesty, the prince's name will be Li Zhi."
She tilted her head again, looked at Xu Fenglei and said,
"My father gave me the nickname, let Master choose my nickname."
"Listen Ming, give me a nickname."
Xu Fenglei was stunned.
He didn't expect that it would be his turn to do this.
Give a nickname to Gaozong Li Zhi in history? Does this count as changing history?
"Well, let Ting Ming pick it up."
Li Shimin also agreed,
"The child is weak, so give him a nickname that will provide him with more money!"
"Hmm..." Xu Fenglei's mind was filled with Li Zhi's original nickname at the moment, and he couldn't make any other associations.
Seeing the emperor and empress looking at each other eagerly, he could only say:
"There is a popular saying among the people: a person with a low reputation makes a living easily."
"The name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then was also called Liu Zhi, that is, Liu Yezhu..."
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty also know that these wild animals are often the most tenacious, such as wild boars, pheasants, wild ducks, etc."
"I think, how about using the word "childish"?"
Childish ones are like little pheasants.
"Zhi'er, Zhi'er...Zhi'er little slave."
Changsun Wugao muttered, his eyes brightened slightly, and he smiled,
"Okay, let's follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. His nickname is easy to make a living on, so let's call him Zhinu."
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and stepped forward to tease Li Zhi's little face.
"Child slave, child slave..."
Changsun Wugou said softly,
"Be good, be good, don't cry anymore..."
His eyes were full of love.
"Hoo-hum." Xiao Li Zhi seemed to agree with his mother's words, or maybe he was tired from crying, so he hummed and fell into a deep sleep.
"Brother, brother, I want to see my brother!"
"Ah, I, Li Lizhi, am not the youngest anymore. I have a younger brother to bully!"
"Oh, my brother is wrinkled and a bit ugly..."
A few little kids started making a fuss, shouting to see their brother.
But after they took a look, they felt a little disappointed, especially Li Tai, who curled his lips and started complaining.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Shimin frowned and said,
"When you were just born, you were much uglier than a baby slave. You were still a fat ball with all the flesh on your face!"
"At that time, you were heavy and ugly, and no one wanted to hold you! Fortunately, your mother was not your grandmother, otherwise your grandmother would have just thrown you away if you looked like that!"
I remember that back then, his mother kicked Li Yuanji away because she disliked him for being ugly. She didn't even bother to look at him, and she didn't even want to raise him. In the end, he was raised by his wet nurse.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Tai said aggrievedly, "That's what I say, kid, why is my father so cruel? It's so partial!"
A series of personal attacks caused great damage to his young mind.
"alright."
Changsun Wugou couldn't see Li Tai being scolded, so he waved his hand and said with a smile,
"You just haven't seen Qingque, why are you so harsh?"
"My mother's favorite thing is the green bird. When she was born, she was plump and plump. It was so fun."
When Li Tai heard what his mother said, he immediately smiled proudly, looked up at his father, and snorted——
Did you hear that? My favorite child is me!
"You are just too used to them. A loving mother often loses her son."
Li Shimin said helplessly,
"Okay, I won't say much more. You need to take a good rest and sit well during this confinement period. You must not leave any root causes of disease."
"Master Sun... Oh yes, I was so anxious that I forgot about Master Sun!"
He slapped his forehead, quickly stood up and bowed to Sun Simiao who was resting in the room.
"The Queen was able to successfully give birth to the royal son, and Master Sun is indispensable."
Li Shimin said sincerely,
"I will always remember your contribution."
"Tomorrow I will issue an edict to officially confer you the title of Protector of the Country. You can also tell me which temple you want to build as a dojo. I will agree to it!"
Sun Simiao had been helping so much these days that he felt a little embarrassed.
Now that the emperor is born, it is really unreasonable not to receive many rewards!
However, Sun Simiao shook his head when he heard Li Shimin's generous reward.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. These are what I should do as a doctor."
He said in a deep voice,
"Whether it's the empress or a country woman, I will try my best to treat you without taking any money."
When Li Shimin saw his refusal, he answered:
"Zhenren Sun has such great compassion, which I admire, but then again, if you treat a country woman, her husband will definitely bring out the best things to entertain you."
"And now that you have saved the queen, as her husband, I should naturally treat you with the best things and the greatest sincerity."
"If you don't give it, I won't be able to feel at ease."
Sun Simiao was startled.
"Okay, old Suntou, I've pushed you so many times, so don't refuse this time."
Xu Fenglei said,
"This Protector of the Country is what you deserve!"
"You also know that Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures. I predict that he will come back. By then the great rise of Buddhism will be inevitable. Under such circumstances, our Taoist sect must have a role model, right?"
"Just feel aggrieved and accept it."
"As for the dojo, there is no need to repair it. If your majesty has extra money, please support the construction of the medical school! If the Tang Dynasty can have a few more Sun Simiao, even if they are just weakened versions, it will be a blessing to the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Sun Simiao: "???"
"Good guy...you have clearly arranged everything for me, right?" He glared.
Xu Fenglei smiled and said, "That's necessary. I won't give up until I drain all your remaining value."
Lao Suntou is good at everything, but he is too indifferent to fame and wealth.
Although it is said that water is good for all things, we can’t just throw away all the benefits before our eyes, right?
We still need you to keep up the good work!
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Seeing that Sun Simiao did not object anymore, Li Shimin followed the trend and said,
"I will not leave behind anything that should be given to Master Sun!"
"Please also ask Master Sun to help take care of the Queen and the Emperor. They are still weak and I am worried that something will go wrong."
Sun Simiao nodded.
"It's your job."
He agreed and then added,
"But after this matter is over, I will go to the Qinling Mountains to collect medicine and travel around with my disciples. Maybe I won't return to Chang'an for a year and a half."
"My wish is to save all sentient beings, not to serve the royal family exclusively. Please understand, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin looked stern.
"Understand, understand."
He said seriously,
"Don't worry, Master Sun. You can come and go freely."
