There are too many things to prepare before the 100-day banquet. First, the child must have a name.
It took a lot of trouble to name the twins.
Li Luansong insisted on making up his own names, and ended up drafting a lot of names. Shen Que felt like crying as he looked at them, such as orange, blue, orange and red, two treasures and three treasures, big yuan and small numbers...
It's simply disorganized and a mess.
"Your Majesty's name is too casual." Shen Que asked him with a sad face.
"You should have a nickname so that you can make a living." Li Luansong admired his name very much. "You see, the names of ordinary people are very simple, and the children are strong and happy. Only a few of the royal children can stay."
When he said this, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, and Shen did know that he was thinking of the past again.
These days, Li Luansong always talked to her about people and events in the past. When did the second child and Concubine Zheng start to make mistakes? Did they misunderstand their father or make excuses for their own ambitions? The fifth child actually wanted to get close to his father. , he has been alone since he was a child; the third child is timid but can still do things, but his ambition is too high...
"Of all these brothers, there are only three of us left now." Li Luansong was frustrated. "I hope that my children can love each other until they grow old. No matter who becomes the emperor, others can treat him sincerely."
Shen Que said with relief: "Yes, it will definitely happen, because they are all born to one father and one mother. Then let's use the name given by His Majesty."
When she said this, Li Luansong felt guilty, "Otherwise, think about it again."
Shen Que nodded: "Think again, think again."
After a few days, he finally came with the name he had chosen.
"If you abandon wisdom when you are a sage, you will benefit the people a hundred times; if you abandon righteousness when you are absolutely benevolent, the people will return to filial piety and kindness." Li Luansong was very satisfied, "Let's call him Li Minfu, Li Xiaoci."
"Okay." Shen Que clapped his hands, "Your Majesty, these two names are so good."
The names of the twins were finally decided. Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother regretted complaining for several days because they could not participate in the naming of the children. Finally, they asked the elders to give the two children nicknames: Pingping and An'an.
A peaceful hundred days of wine were settled. From the banquet to the guests, from the program to the rituals, Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother personally took care of it. Li Luansong was happy and leisurely, hanging around Shen Que and Liu Zi every day.
On this day, His Majesty granted a general pardon to the whole world. All civil and military officials attended with their families. Hundreds of tables were set up in the palace, which was full of joy and excitement.
Li Luansong and Shen Que took their three children to offer incense to Mr. Shi.
The husband who raised Li Luansong since childhood wanted to take a look at the young masters. Now that the three children have been brought, Li Luansong can't say a word.
When he was young, his father was busy with everything in the harem, and his mother was busy with affairs in the harem. As the eldest son of the emperor, he could not always stay with his parents. There were strict time limits for even meeting his mother to say hello, so he was the one who accompanied him the most every day. It's my father-in-law.
Study with him, get into trouble with him, get punished with him, eat and sleep with him...
"Eunuch Shi," Shen Que said, his voice choked with sobs, "We came to see you with three children. These are Li Luansong's children. The collar you gave is on the eldest princess. Don't worry."
Li Luansong spilled a glass of wine and said: "Now that I have ascended to the throne and have children, you are not with me and you can't see all this."
"Your Majesty." Shen Que wiped his tears and said, "My father-in-law will know. He must be happy."
The little Liu Zi heard her father, queen and mother talk about the grandfather who gave her a gold collar. She bowed politely and said in a sweet voice: "Grandpa Shi, I am Liu Zi, the eldest son of Daye." Princess, I came to see you. Thank you for the gold necklace you gave me. I like it very much. I will always wear it and give it to my children in the future."
A gust of wind blew up in the bamboo forest, blowing through the bamboo leaves and making a rustling sound.
Liu Zi said: "Father, listen, Grandpa Shi is back. He knows that we have come to see him, and he is responding to us."
Shen Que said yes, "Eunuch Shi must be able to see everything and he must be very happy."
The bamboo leaves were blown by the wind and kept sounding until they left and walked out of the bamboo forest. They could still hear the rustling sound behind them, as if escorting them further and further away.
When the family of five returned, the banquet in the palace was at its busiest.
Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother were very busy and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them coming back with their children in their arms.
"What are you doing?" The Queen Mother hurriedly took An An, "Everyone is waiting for An An."
Emperor Xiaochun picked up Liu Zi, then took Ping Ping into his arms and said, "Okay, okay, you go and do your work. Leave this place to us."
Li Luansong and Shen Que watched helplessly as the two old men took the three children away to show off.
Fortunately, Shen Fu also came over and quickly took Ping Ping over. The three elderly people lined up in a row and walked towards the guest seat with the babies in their arms.
"What are they going to do?" Shen Que said, "What should I do if the children cry and make a fuss? My father wants to drink."
Li Luansong said it was okay, "There are grandmas nearby. They are happy today. Let them be. It is rare for you and me to have leisure. Let's live our little life."
Shen Que glared at him: "Your Majesty is telling lies with his eyes open. It is clear that we are together every day, but it is exhausting the father and mother. They are taking care of the three children."
"They are happy, let's go and eat delicious food."
Li Luansong took Shen Que away, and Emperor Xiaochun was really excited.
First, she hugged Liu Zi and spun her around. The little princess had a soft and sweet mouth, which made everyone in the room happy and praised her.
"My eldest granddaughter looks like her mother and the imperial grandmother, so she must be a great beauty." Emperor Xiaochun boasted proudly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Come, take a look at the emperor's eldest grandson, our little prince of Daye." Emperor Xiaochun picked up Pingping.
The three-month-old baby is fat and chubby from eating. Its big eyes are not afraid of people at all.
The weather was very hot, and Pingping felt a little uncomfortable. Emperor Xiaochun pulled open the little baby's clothes. It seemed that the restraints were suddenly gone, and Pingping peed immediately.
"Look, look, the little prince is so accurate." The baby just aimed at the copper tripod incense burner not far away, and extinguished the incense in the incense burner.
Emperor Xiaochun laughed happily.
Everyone looked at each other, they could boast about this, but they really didn’t change their habit of showing off at all.
"Whether you are powerful or not, you are envious or not." Emperor Xiaochun was very proud.
The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, please restrain yourself. We are all people who have been through this before. It would be a shame to have no grandson."
Emperor Xiaochun waved his hand: "What a shame, I'm happy. If you have the ability, let their grandson also perform a show on the spot."
What can this compare to.
Queen Mother: "You are so disrespectful to me. Who wants to compare with you?"
But it was not easy to continue this topic. The Queen Mother hurriedly picked up An An and changed the subject: "We are still well-behaved and quiet. We never cry or make trouble."
Emperor Xiaochun said right, "Our An'an is the most well-behaved..."
Perhaps his loud voice scared An An, and little An An burst into tears.
"Listen to this sound. Is it loud or bright? Does it make you cry well?"
Everyone was speechless: ...This meal is too difficult to eat...

When Ping Ping An was three years old, Shen Que took Shen Fu and Shen Silan out to visit famous mountains and rivers.
The children were old enough to be educated, so they were handed over to Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen Mother. With two experienced old people in charge, they would be able to educate them well. Moreover, Emperor Xiaochun was gearing up and had already formulated detailed plans for Ping Anan. The plan, like Liu Zi, is regular and rich, and the children like it very much.
Li Luansong was not happy and complained: "Yuyu, I want to go too."
Shen Que said no, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, how can he leave?"
"Why can't I leave?" Li Luansong said forcefully, "I need to understand the people's sentiments. I can pay a private visit incognito."
"No, there are many things happening in the government, and your Majesty cannot be playful." Shen Que persuaded, "Your Majesty, count the days, and my concubine will be back in three months. I will bring you a gift then."
"Three months?" Li Luansong was shocked and even more reluctant, "No, it requires a hundred days. There are only a few hundred days in a year. I don't agree."
No matter how much Shen Que tried to persuade him, he just didn't agree. Shen Que looked at him helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, you cannot be willful."
Li Luansong pulled her baggage: "I want to stay with you, Yuanyuan. I can leave my country to Pingping. He will grow up eventually, and he will definitely grow better than me."
Shen Que laughed: "Ping Ping is only three years old."
"When I was three years old, I was already reading, riding horses, and shooting archery."
What should I do? I had no choice but to take him with me in the end, and I also took Liu Zi with me. This time it was better, even the children and the government were left to Emperor Xiaochun.
This trip almost took him all over Daye, and Shen Que even took Liu Zi to Jufeng.
They were incognito, and no one could tell, until they came to Chen's house. It was no longer the dilapidated small courtyard. A five-entry courtyard was built, and a plaque "Chen's House" was hung on the door.
When Liu Zi saw Chen Da for the first time, she ran over crying and called "Dad", which made Chen Da burst into tears. Then she looked at Li Luansong timidly and muttered: "Your Highness, Princess, be careful what you say, don't dare to mess around." Shouting, godfather, it’s godfather.”
Chen Dacheng became the richest man here, Mr. Chen, got married and gave birth to two children. But Aunt Chen still sells herbal medicines when she is old. She said: "This is a craft taught to me by the Queen. I can't throw it away. I will pass it on to my children in the future."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Que to tears and said, "Is your Majesty okay? Is she feeling better?"
Shen Que said yes, "Everything is fine. I gave birth to two more babies. They were too young and I didn't bring them with me."
Chen Da's daughter-in-law was very virtuous, and the family lived a happy life. Liu Zi followed Aunt Chen around, talking about her grandma, and made Aunt Chen smile from ear to ear with joy.
When they set out for the Sotuo Kingdom, the people of Jufeng spontaneously came to see them off, kowtowing and thanking Li Luansong and Shen Que. Jufeng's life has been getting better and better over the years. The people have enough food and clothing, and everyone shouts long live the mountain with tears in their eyes.
When he arrived in Soto, he was also welcomed by the people.
Liang Fan had just gotten married, and the bride was very beautiful. This boy officially took over the family business and became the unshakable head of the family. Only when he saw Shen Que, he still burst into tears and hugged "Master" without letting go.
Mutam also became the Khan King, and he looked majestic and aloof. Only when he saw Shen Que and Li Luansong did he show his youthful naughtiness and intimacy.
Mutam's children looked exactly like him. Li Luansong stayed in Soto for several days. The two drank and fought every day, just like they did when they were young, but this time they didn't use their full strength...

Li Luansong and Shen Zhen were an outstanding pair of empresses. Daye was prosperous and Pingping was well-educated. He became sensible early and was ready to take over his father's government.
Li Luansong hoped that he would take over as soon as possible. He said: "Ping Ping is more talented than me and has a stable temperament like you. When my son takes over, I will retire and live a relaxed life with Yuyu."
He really did what he said to Shen Que.
Since then, they have given birth to three more sons and two daughters. It is said that having many children and grandchildren is a blessing...
