"My cousin-in-law..."
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
Last year, he was running between the capital and Baoding. In addition to recuperating his old uncle, Qingye was also responsible for treating the empress. The latter even accounted for a larger proportion.
The reason why she couldn't come back to celebrate the New Year was mainly because the queen was not pregnant.
"No, she is really pregnant...ahem," Li Hao lowered his voice, "The Queen is really pregnant with the emperor's heir? Aren't you just talking nonsense?"
"It's probably not wrong." Li Qing nodded.
"What if?"
Li Hao was anxious, "If you don't get pregnant, you will be guilty of a big crime. You can't hit the muzzle of the gun!"
Seeing him like this, Li Qing was a little relieved, "I didn't expect you to be quite filial."
"This is not a matter of filial piety or lack of filial piety, that is the nine clans..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that his old uncle obviously knew his identity and would definitely not let the emperor touch the Yongqing Marquis Mansion.
Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's nothing. If you want to go, just go."
"Good guy, you are really the one!" Li Qing was moved and turned into anger. He raised his hand and said loudly, "You are a traitor..."
"I'm already married, and you still hit me?" Li Hao broke his guard.
"Say more?"
"..."
Li Hao was angry and helpless. His parents were not at home, so he really didn't dare to fight Li Qing.
However, even if my parents are at home... that won't work.
After thinking about this, Li Haodang immediately recognized the current situation as a hero, "I'm going to rush people, but you should wait until my mother comes back before leaving, otherwise, she will beat me too."
"What does it have to do with me that she beats you?" Li Qing was confused.
"You, why are you like this?"
Li Hao said angrily, "I treat you like a master, but you...you really treat me like a grandson!"
"if not?"
"Okay, okay, this is the end of what you said." Li Hao was angry, "I want to cut off my robe and sever our ties with you...ah! It hurts...it hurts...I was wrong."

After drinking and eating, he took a hot bath and put on his new clothes of 'Yongqing' brand. Li Qing felt comfortable all over.
"gone."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Li." Li Xueer said obediently, "Have a good trip. Come back early after your work."
Li Hao said: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Li Qing glared.
"Slow down on the road~" Li Hao changed his words in frustration.
"That's pretty much it." Li Qing snorted, "Xiao Xue'er, tell your mother that I will come back after the year and tell her not to miss me."
"Okay Grandpa Li." Li Xueer nodded.
Li Qing got on his horse and turned around and said, "Li Hao, don't just indulge in enjoyment. Your father has no time for such a big business at home. You have to help your mother take over the worries, do you hear me?"
"I've only been idle for two days, and you caught me. It's really unlucky..." Li Hao muttered.
"Did you hear that?"
Li Hao shuddered and stood straight, "I heard you."
After watching Li Qing walk away, he heaved a sigh of relief and then got angry: "Do you really think I can be bullied?"
"...Brother, why didn't you dare to say this just now?" Li Xueer teased.
"I don't dare? Haha, what a joke!" Li Hao said disdainfully, "Do you have the ability to let him come back again?"
"Da da da……"
Li Qing rode back.
Li Hao: (?`?Д?′)!!
No, are you really coming back?
"Li Hao."
"Here, there he is." Li Hao's calves felt weak, "You can hear me from such a distance?"
"What did you hear?"
"No, Master Qing, do you have anything else to explain?"
Li Qing lowered his head and glanced at the word 'Yongqing' on his chest and said, "Are these clothes sold in Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, but we don't expect it to make a profit, it's just a facade." Li Hao said, "The brand effect has not yet started, and the competitiveness is not strong."
"That's right. I'm afraid that business secrets will be leaked." Li Qing nodded slowly.
Li Hao flattered and explained with a smile: "Master Qing, you are so thoughtful. It's okay. The ready-made clothes have been in operation for almost two years. It's not a secret. It's just that in Ming Dynasty, especially in Jiangnan, ready-made clothes have been in operation for a long time." Mature, it takes time to kill.”
"Well, it's nothing, let's go."
"Hey, slow down on the road, we'll be back after the new year!" Li Hao pulled his neck, shook his arms, and paid attention.
Li Xueer: -_-|| "Brother, Grandpa Li is gone."
"You don't know how good his ears are...heh, so what if he hears?"
"Look, Grandpa Li is back again."
"Master Qing, do you have anything else to explain..." Li Hao quickly put on a flattering expression, but suddenly found that there was no one around, and couldn't help but became furious: "Li Xue'er, you want to die!"

Perhaps it was because he had stayed in Jiaozhi for a long time, but the further north he went, the colder Li Qing felt.
With more than a hundred years of true energy close to him, he is not afraid of the cold, but it is not that he cannot feel the cold. On the contrary, his five senses are more acute.
"Sigh, we can find ways to solve the food problem, but in this severe cold... there is nothing we can do." Li Qing sighed.
In this climate, the people are bound to suffer, especially the elderly. Most of them died in the harsh winter.
There are many elderly people who are not approaching their end, but who just cannot survive the severe cold. If they can survive, they can survive until the next cold winter.
Although the people's lives have been greatly improved through his efforts, they are far from wealthy. Burning charcoal for heating... is ultimately too luxurious for the people.
…
royal palace.
Zhu Jianshen held his big fat grandson high and smiled happily.
Zhu Youtang's face was full of nervousness, his eyes fixed on his infant son, following his father's movements up and down, fearing that his father's hand would slip and drop his son.
"Father, please rest." Zhu Youtang's heart couldn't bear it. He always had a premonition that his son would fall to the ground in the next second.
I finally gave birth to a son. What if something goes wrong?
"Father, you are not tired." Zhu Jianshen didn't even look at his son. His eyes were full of grandsons, and he was full of energy.
As he said that, he raised it high and even dropped it.
Zhu Youtang's face turned green.
"Father!"
Zhu Jian Shen Leng was unprepared and almost missed catching his eldest grandson. He became angry and said angrily: "What are you talking about? If I fall, are you responsible?"
"I..." Zhu Youtang hesitated, then got angry: This is my son! I can't even bear to play!
"That father, I have been thinking very hard these days to think of a good name for the little guy. I would like to ask my father for reference." Zhu Youtang said with a smile.
"Ang, tell me." Zhu Jianshen managed to look good.
"According to!"
Due to Lao Zhu's "hard work", the descendants of the Zhu family have little room to play with their names. The surname and generation are all fixed, and they can only work on the last character.
To be precise, there is only half a word, because Lao Zhu also decided on half of the last word.
This is also the reason why after the second generation, the names of the Ming emperors all had three characters.
At the time of Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, Lao Zhu Jiangshan had not yet been conquered. He did not care about this. The fourth generation was the only one in the Ming Dynasty clan whose name had two characters.
"Photo?" Zhu Jianshen frowned, "Is it the one with four points of water underneath?"
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded, "Although the word "Zhao" contains four points of water, it belongs to fire among the five elements. Wood makes fire, which is in line with Taizu's naming rules."
"Hmm... This little guy's generation must be of the fire type." Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly, "Those with a thick character, Zhao; um, not bad."
Seeing that his father had no objection, Zhu Youtang immediately continued his efforts, "Zhao; means sunshine, and it has the beauty of the sun. The sun shines brightly..."
Barabara...
As he spoke, he picked up the precious son from his father's hands without leaving a trace, held him in his arms and protected him carefully.
Zhu Jianshen nodded, "Zhu Houzhao, yes, it's a good name."
"Father has no objection, so that's it?"
"Haha... It's decided, let's call him Zhu Houzhao." Zhu Jianshen smiled and nodded.
Zhu Youtang was also very happy and said with a smile: "The new year is approaching and I am very busy, so I will retire."
With that said, he hugged his son and wanted to leave.
"stop!"
Zhu Youtang was furious and said, "Father, is there anything else?"
"You are busy with your official duties, what are you doing with my eldest grandson?" Zhu Jianshen was dissatisfied.
"Uh, this," Zhu Youtang hesitated and said suddenly, "Father, look, Hou Zhao is eating his fingers. He must be hungry. I will take him to the wet nurse..."
"I just fed her two quarters of an hour ago!" Zhu Jianshen interrupted him and added, "I also summoned the wet nurse to Changle Palace."
"Father!"
"Is something wrong?"
"No, it's okay, it's just..." Zhu Youtang said sarcastically, "Xiao Zhang misses his son."
"She hasn't finished confinement yet, has she?"
"Finished sitting, it expired the day before yesterday."
"If that's the case, then she can move around. Just let her come to Changle Palace." Zhu Jianshen hummed, "I have been looking forward to such a big grandson for so long, and I haven't cared about it enough."
"Father..."
"Stop blabbering and put my eldest grandson down!" Zhu Jianshen left no room for doubt.
"...Yes." Zhu Youtang said with a look of reluctance, "Father, Houzhao is too small and cannot withstand the torment. You... better not lift him up again."
"Don't worry, my baby is still here."
"Father..."
"Okay, okay, I listen to you, I just won't lift him up." Zhu Jianshen opened his arms, "Hurry up and give me back my thick photo."
I obviously put a lot of effort into giving birth to her, but now it becomes yours... Zhu Youtang was full of resentment, but he had to do it.
Zhu Youtang reluctantly handed it to his father and warned him again: "Father, you have to be careful!"
"Are you annoyed? I am his grandfather, how can I not cherish him?" Zhu Jianshen was unhappy, "Go and get busy with your official duties. I have enough time to deal with two memorials."
Zhu Youtang: "..."
After looking at his son with reluctance, Zhu Youtang walked out dejectedly.
"Zhu Houzhao, little guy, from now on you will be called Zhu Houzhao." Zhu Jianshen teased his eldest grandson, smiling from ear to ear.
Zhu Youtang listened to his father's laughter behind him, which made him envious and jealous. However, his arms could not twist his thighs.

Qianqing Palace.
As soon as Zhu Youtang came in, Queen Zhang greeted him and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, where is my son? Is my son coming back?"
"No," Zhu Youtang said helplessly and angrily, "My son didn't want to come back, so the nanny also got involved."
"Ah?" Queen Zhang was dumbfounded.
At this time, the eunuch outside the palace came in and reported: "Your Majesty, that miracle doctor Li is back."
