Not to mention Qiao'er, even an adult like Li Qinzai is full of curiosity about newborn babies.
It's so cute, especially the pink little face, little hands and feet, and the clear and innocent big eyes. It seems that all the beautiful things in the world are in his eyes, and there is no trace of darkness and darkness. sorrow.
Li Qinzai had never been married in his previous life, had never held a baby in his arms, and was curious about everything about him.
He didn't even dare to hold this newborn little life, for fear that a little force would hurt him, so the father and son placed him on the stone table and observed curiously.
"Dad, what is he talking about?" Qiao'er stretched out a finger and carefully teased his brother's chin. The child suddenly grinned and made a gurgling sound.
Qiao'er said happily: "Dad, he smiled, he smiled! He doesn't have teeth, haha."
Li Qinzai said calmly: "It will take about two years for the teeth to slowly grow. Before that, he can only drink milk. The poor baby was born in a wealthy family. He wants to eat big fish and meat, but he can't..."
Then looking at Qiao'er, Li Qinzai said: "When he grows up, take him to play some elegant things, and don't do those dirty things like exploding shit in the latrine. You don't want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but you don't want to become a The scourge in Zhuangzi.”
Qiao'er said sternly: "Don't worry, Dad, my child has grown up, and the things he plays with lately have become more and more elegant."
"for example?"
"For example, playing dice with the maid and kissing the loser, or going to play in Chang'an City with the junior brothers. The junior brothers said that when the baby's hair grows, they will take me to play more fun..." Qiao'er said with a confused expression: " Dad, is there anything that requires all hair to grow before you can play?"
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched a few times.
Those little bastards...how can they thank the world if they don't smoke?
The innocent child he once was is now vaguely visible as a future playboy.
Smiling hard and touching his dog's head, Li Qinzai said softly: "Qiao'er, this world is too dirty. Boys must protect themselves. Why don't you become a monk for a few years and wait until your hair grows all the way before going down the mountain... "
Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Dad, don't be surprised if I say something that is offensive to my ears... I think what you just said is not human."
Li Qinzai smiled happily. The child had finally grown up and knew how to tell unfaithful words. In other words, the father could also let go of spanking him.
While he was thinking about what weapon to use to whip him, the baby on the stone table felt a little unhappy because he had been neglected for too long, so he wriggled his hands and feet in the swaddling clothes, his mouth tightened, and he burst into tears.
Li Qinzai hurriedly picked him up and kept coaxing him with "oh oh oh".
Several figures quickly appeared in the backyard room. The old woman and the maid hurriedly came forward, took the child from Li Qinzai's hand, and then said: "Fifth young man, the young man is probably hungry. I will carry him to my mother's house right now." Kiss there and breastfeed.”
Li Qinzai nodded and everyone walked away quickly.
In the yard, the father and son looked at each other, and then Li Qinzai hooked Qiao'er's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go fishing with dad. We will have grilled fish and fragrant leg of lamb tonight."
The father and son were about to go out happily, but then Li Qinzai was stunned and thought: "Huh? What did I plan to do just now?"
Qiao'er said carefully: "If nothing else, Dad probably wanted to whip the baby just now, but was interrupted by Adi's crying, but Dad decided to go fishing again, and his mood must have become brighter. When it is so clear, there is no need to Adding extraneous details has disappointed our father and son, what does dad think?"
Li Qinzai smiled happily: "That's all, I'll spare you the chance to die today. Go away, fishing is business."
The father and son went out happily, their backs were warm, and the sunshine was full of the smell of home.

Taiji Palace, Xunfeng Palace.
Xunfeng Hall belongs to the harem, and it is impossible for courtiers to enter. There are only Li Zhi, concubines, and palace servants serving the Tian family. This vast harem is truly "a bird flying over a thousand mountains". No surprise. If so, only Li Zhi would be allowed to have a bird in the entire harem.
At this moment, the Xunfeng Hall is filled with silk and bamboo, and there are bursts of sheng music.
In the center of the hall, a group of enchanting dancers danced gracefully, with charming smiles on their faces and their eyes focused on Li Zhi.
Li Zhi hugged Mrs. Wei with one hand, drank from a cup with the other hand, and laughed happily.
Li Zhi is very happy today.
Because two pieces of good news came from the court. First, Su Dingfang had completely pacified Tuyuhun. He led tens of thousands of Tang soldiers on an expedition for nearly a year and finally wiped out all the resistance forces in Tuyuhun.
After Li Qinzai drove away the Tibetan army, although Tuyuhun had legally returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the nobles and a few common people in the territory were unwilling to recognize the Tang Dynasty as the master. There were still many armed resistance armies among the people from the powerful and landlords.
Although they were said to be rebels, they were actually a small group of rabble. Under the crushing crushing force of the invincible Tang Dynasty soldiers, no one could resist them, but they couldn't resist the fact that their teams were numerous and mixed, and they were good at guerrilla warfare.
】
Su Dingfang had been tormented by the Tuyuhun rebels over the past year, and finally, just before winter, he completely pacified Tuyuhun.
As for the rebels who resisted the Tang Dynasty King's Division, Su Dingfang's temperament would not allow them to be gentle and appease them. Whether they were fighting or surrendering, they would all be slaughtered without leaving a single person alive.
Today's Tang Dynasty king is so overbearing. In order to save trouble and save food, the leading generals rarely keep any prisoners, which only adds burden to themselves and increases food expenditure for no reason.
Kill them if you catch them, and don't care about burying them. The vultures in the desert will help the Tang army eat the enemy's corpses cleanly.
During this year, under Su Dingfang's military order, Tuyuhun was killed and his body was covered with blood for thousands of miles. The Tang army's merciless slaughter finally bore fruit.
No one in Tuyuhun dared to resist the Tang army anymore. Although the living people had not returned to the Tang Dynasty, they had surrendered and just wanted to survive.
When the military report was sent to Chang'an, Li Zhi was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel to appoint generals and officials to set up a Protectorate in Tuyuhun to take over the military and political power of Tuyuhun and centralize power in Chang'an.
The second happy event is that the scientific examination has been finalized. Li Zhi personally monitored it for several days and learned from the list of the Ministry of Rites that the candidates for Jinshi in this year are very different from those in previous years.
Under the deliberate favoritism and control of the imperial court, nine out of ten scholars in today's imperial examinations come from poor families.
The scientific examination system implemented by Li Zhi and Empress Wu to suppress aristocratic families finally came to fruition this year. In the future, the power of aristocratic families and poor families in the court will be more conducive to the balance and centralization of power by the emperor.
Both of these things are good news for Li Zhi. How can he not celebrate them with singing, dancing and drinking?
And calling Mrs. Wei into the palace today is also a reward given to him by Li Zhi. When a man becomes successful, how can he be without a woman by his side?
As for why he didn't ask Empress Wu to congratulate him, this...
Successful men lack young and beautiful women around them. Keyword: "young and beautiful".
