"This boy is full of energy. I think he may become a great general in the future!" In Concubine Zhe's bedroom, Liu Chengyou laughed loudly while holding the little prince who was struggling with his teeth and claws.
"Madam, the official is in a good mood today!" From the side, a female official said softly to the little lady Zhe.
Zhe Niangzi's body has long since recovered after childbirth, and her figure has also returned to its previous good and firm shape through continuous martial arts training, but her breasts and buttocks are obviously much fuller. When walking around in front of the emperor, Liu Chengyou was often itched in his heart. He was greedy for power and even lustful, but there were times when he couldn't bear the temptation of the harem.
The little lady has now completely transformed into a young woman, with a graceful figure and a very heroic spirit. He is currently breastfeeding, but the young prince has a specially selected wet nurse. Therefore, during this period of time, Concubine Xian has gained an advantage over the emperor...
"Guan Jia, please be gentle!" Madam Zhe stepped forward with a slight smile on her lips, looking at Liu Chengyou who was torturing her child, and she was slightly angry.
"hehe......"
Liu Chengyou held the little prince's armpits with his hands and fiddled with him. The little prince was obviously unhappy and uncomfortable, but he didn't cry. He just struggled continuously, kicking his two calves vigorously, as if he wanted to fight with him to the end. .
"You see, Brother Ming is different. Unlike Brother Mu and Brother Liang, when they were just a few months old, I would cry and fuss if I moved a little bit louder..." Liu Chengyou looked like he was in a good mood. It's really good, said the lady.
These are Liu Chengyou's fourth sons, Liu Fang, Ming Geer, and Qianyou, who were born in the early winter of the third year and are only four months old now.
Lady Zhe stepped forward, almost snatched the prince from Liu Chengyou's hands, and held him in her arms to protect him. After throwing himself into his mother's arms, the little prince felt at peace.
Madam Zhe looked at Liu Chengyou and said: "What can a child of a few months old know? When he feels uncomfortable, he will naturally cry and make trouble. If what you just said spread out, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Chengyou stretched out his hand and caressed the young lady's soft face twice.
"I'm afraid..." The young lady breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Zuo hesitated and said, "It will affect the harmony in the palace."
Seeing the young lady turning slightly to the side, as if avoiding his gaze, Liu Chengyou thought for a while, and the doubts in his eyes gradually dissipated. He walked up to the young lady, hugged her into his arms, and said softly: "I always thought that we were open-minded and generous, but now it seems that our minds are also very sensitive, which can be said to be a show of talent!"
"Are the officials mocking me or praising me?" Madam Zhe asked, raising her head and looking at Liu Chengyou, her eyes so clear as ever.
"Of course I praise you!" Liu Chengyou smiled lightly.
Seeing that the child seemed a little tired, she handed the little prince to the wet nurse and took him down to sleep. Madam Zhe personally served Liu Chengyou a cup of tea: "I, Guan Guan, are in a very good mood today. I wonder if there is any happy event?"
"Your tea skills are getting better and better. In two years, you will be as good as the imperial concubine. In this palace, the tea she makes is the best for me!" Liu Chengyou has also been drinking tea for several years, and he is also a little bit Now that I'm good enough, I praised the lady again. However, he obviously has some straight male attributes, and of course, he doesn't care.
Putting down the tea cup, Liu Chengyou said: "The troops from the northwest reported, and they set up a conspiracy to ambush the Pheasant tribe. They defeated three thousand soldiers, beheaded three hundred, captured eight hundred, and captured more than a thousand horses. The Pheasant leader was horrified and retreated to his territory. , dare not go out lightly, and the Ox-Slaying Clan, who are in trouble with them, take the initiative to send people to discuss the matter."
Hearing that her grandfather had made great achievements, Madam Zhe couldn't help but be overjoyed, her wonderful eyes flashed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"The miscellaneous barbarians in Hexi have deceived me into not being able to go west over the years, and they have repeatedly committed crimes and chaos, which is very abominable. After this battle, the captives in the northwest will definitely be afraid of the prestige of our Han army. With Zhe Gong here, good people can be safe!" Liu Chengyou said.
"Grandpa is old after all. Although he is often used to the bitter cold at the frontier, I always think about him in my heart!" After sighing, Madam Zhe showed a rare hint of resentment and leaned towards Liu Chengyou.
Seeing this, Liu Chengyou gently stroked his back to comfort him. After thinking for a while, he said: "I borrowed Zhe Gong's prestige and talent for the veteran general to take action. Before appointing him, I couldn't bear to think of his old age. Like this , when the situation in the northwest becomes more stable, I will recall the public to Tokyo!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
"It's human nature and filial piety is commendable!"
After announcing the good news to Madam Zhe, I stayed for a while before driving away. After walking out of the palace, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but shook his head. He suddenly realized that as long as she was a woman, she would inevitably be in trouble. In the palace, the queen and the noble concubine have begun to fight overtly and covertly. This lady seems to have some "palace resentment".
Sitting on the chariot sedan, thinking about the exchange with Lady Zhe just now, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but said to Zhang Dejun who was following closely: "Zhang Dejun, tell me how to grasp this woman's thoughts. I can do it with just a casual word. Will it affect the harmony in the palace?"
"You are a person without roots, how can you understand the affairs between men and women!" Zhang Dejun lowered his head and replied, paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, and then flattered him: "But there is some truth in what the Concubine Xian said. The Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, with golden words and jade words, one word and nine cauldrons..."
"Okay!" Liu Chengyou interrupted him impatiently: "Put away your compliments. If you say them all at once, what will you say next?"
Zhang Dejun looked embarrassed, but he quickly recovered and smiled along with him: "Your Majesty was joking."
Turning his body sideways and looking behind him, Liu Chengyou ordered to Zhang Dejun: "With the money in the house, I will give the worthy concubine a hundred taels of gold, a hundred taels of silver each, and ten pieces of silk!"
"May I ask the official why?" Zhang Dejun asked carefully.
Liu Chengyou's eyes squinted: "I give the palace a favor, do you need any other reasons?"
"This..." Zhang Dejun bent even lower and whispered: "The officials have said before that rewards and punishments are clear, and no nameless gifts will be given!"
Liu Chengyou was stunned and glanced at Zhang Dejun: "You remember my words clearly!"
"In what name do you think I should reward you?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Zhang Dejun chuckled, cupped his hands and said: "Zhe Gong won the battle in the northwest, it will benefit his family..."
"You are quite clever as a eunuch!" Liu Chengyou suddenly said calmly, his voice was flat and his tone was scary: "It's just that you said a bit too much!"
The emperor suddenly turned against him. Zhang Dejun's face turned pale, and he knelt down trembling on the ground. He slapped himself several times: "You are too talkative! You are too talkative!"
Liu Chengyou squinted his eyes and looked indifferently. He didn't say anything more. He just rested on the armrest of the sedan chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The carriage did not stop and continued towards Chongzheng Palace. On the palace road, only Zhang Dejun was left kneeling there, feeling uneasy.
When I returned to Chongzheng Hall, I didn’t read a few memorials. Yaohua Hall sent someone to invite them, saying that the third prince Liu Xi was ill, and Concubine Gao asked the officials to take a look...
