Li Ying was all her expectations for Shi Deyun. Shi Deyun hugged Li Ying in her arms and asked, "What did you learn today?"

Li Ying hurried into the house and took out a bunch of small stones, as well as slingshots, small stone ropes, small wooden bows, small arrows, and Shi Deyun took a look. These were the favorites of the children of the Xi tribe.

Shi Deyun nodded, thinking that although Li Ying was raised in the palace since she was a child, she was with the maid and her mother every day, but her man's good martial arts style was not lost.

Thinking about the future, if the queen gave birth to a legitimate son, the two sides of the Great Zhao would definitely pay great attention to this legitimate son, and he and Li Ying could also fade out of everyone's sight.

Shi Deyun has been in Youjing for many years and can't help but miss her home. She misses her beautiful and wide prairie in her hometown. Even if she gallops for a day and a night, she will never end. However, the high palace walls and narrow streets in Youjing will make people narrow-minded.

Huaihuang Town seems to be good, with vast grasslands and large felt bags. It is much more comfortable to live there than Youjing, and it is also the place where I first met Li Chongjiu.

If possible, I really hope to be there all my life. Ignoring this chaos, Youjing seems to be really not suitable for me. When Shi Deyun thought of this, she made a secret decision and waited for Li Ying in two months and returned to Huaihuang to stay in Huaihuang for a while. It should be enough for Li Chongjiu to have Yang Ehuang accompany him.

Li Ying could not become the crown prince. It would be good to let Li Chongjiu give him the country in the future, or be the leader of the grassland.

While Deyun was thinking about this, she heard the maid report, “The elder brother is here to see Li Ying.”

Shi Deyun quickly got up after hearing this, but saw Li Hu walking towards her with a smile on her face.

When Li Ying saw Li Hu, he broke free from Shi Deyun's arms. He threw himself on Li Hu and shouted: "Grandpa! Grandpa!"

When Li Hu saw Li Ying, he immediately laughed and said, "Good grandson!"

Shi Deyun smiled and said, "Aba. You spoiled Ying'er."

Li Hu laughed and said, "No matter how much my grandson is, we Han people say, "It's very close to each other. Anyway, I'm old. If I can see my grandson grow up safely, this life will be enough."

Li Ying began to grab Li Hu's beard unrestrainedly, and Li Hu simply let him go.

Shi Deyun asked, "Why didn't Aba go to see the queen!"

Li Hu shook his head and said, "I can't get in at all. The three levels of the inner and outer levels are surrounded by people, and they all come to curry favor with each other. Instead, it was our closest relatives who became separated. What do you think this is called?"

Shi Deyun said, "The son born to the queen will be the crown prince of a country in the future, and no wonder the ministers are so cautious."

While speaking, a man came hurriedly and said, "Report to the elder, Madam, the queen is about to give birth!"

"What?"

"Isn't this a few days left?" Li Hu was surprised.

"Yes, but that's what the medical officer said."

Li Hu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and was about to rush over. Shi Deyun hurriedly grabbed Li Hu. He said, "Aba cannot be anxious at the moment. There are medical officers waiting inside, so we can't help."

Li Hu is now concerned and confused. At that moment, Deyun, the lower room, came with Li Hu. There are dozens of maids serving him.

Halfway through, I saw someone in the corridor that the queen was going to give birth. But I saw dozens of female officials and women crowded in the corridor yard, making it very noisy. Some of these people were concerned about the queen, and some wanted to find out the news that the queen gave birth to a boy or a girl as soon as possible, so they refused to leave.

Shi Deyun thought it would be bad if it affected Yang Ehuang's childbirth. At that time, Shi Deyun looked at the guards of the court guards on the side and said, "Turn them all out of the mansion immediately and do not stay."

The guards of the court guards said in embarrassment: "But many of them are the families and subordinates of the third-rank and fifth-rank ministers in the dynasty..."

Shi Deyun said, "Don't worry, just say it's my point, just blame me!"

"promise!"

Seeing that Shi Deyun was like this, Li Hu said, "You should be decisive in your work, but have you offended the ministers in the court?"

Shi Deyun said, "It's nothing more than whether I offend or not. My sister's childbirth is a big deal."

Li Hu nodded and said, "Xiao Jiu married you and Ehuang, it was his blessing."

Shi Deyun hugged Li Yingyan and said, "Dad, don't say it, go quickly!"

The two of them entered the backyard of the mansion from the corner gate, but saw several medical officers and maids running back and forth in the yard, while Yang Ehuang was shouting in the room.

In front of the house, Li Chongjiu's eyebrows were frowned into the character "Chuan". After raising his head, he saw Shi Deyun, Li Hu, and Li Yingren, he said, "You are here."

Shi Deyun nodded and said, "Xiaojiu, don't worry about the matter here, leave it to our women! After all, I have more experience."

Li Chongjiu said huh, stopping, but seeing Li Ying hu huddled behind Li Hu, she refused to come over when she saw him, and looked like a father and son were separated. Li Chongjiu had no time to care about these things, and waited with Li Hu in the corridor under the eaves outside the house. Although Li Ying was young, she was not afraid of the cold and was playing in the snow.

On heavy snowy days, a palace servant had already given Li Chongjiu and Li Hu hot tea and a cotton pad for the two of them to sit down.

Li Chongjiu held the hot tea in his hand and put it aside. Suddenly the gate of the yard opened wide. Queen Xiao hurried in and asked the medical officer as soon as he met, "What's wrong with the queen?"

The medical officer was about to enter the house but was blocked by Queen Xiao at the door. He said in panic: "This... this time, the empress is......"

Queen Xiao took a deep breath, realizing that she had lost her composure and said, "I offended you, go."

Queen Xiao looked at Li Chongjiu who was sitting outside the house and said, "I have driven them home and waited for news from the officials of the Zhao royal palace. Now the mansion is full of my own family."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Chongjiu looked at the snowflakes falling in the wind. In this era, women's risk of giving birth is very high, as if they stepped into half a gate of hell.

Unlike in the 21st century, when the scalpel was rushing, a child came out. Yang Ehuang had a serious illness before giving birth, so his health was not very good during pregnancy. A medical official said before that the queen could only give birth to one baby, and the next baby would probably not be able to get pregnant again.

Therefore, this production is really a card for Yang Ehuang.

Care is confusion, and Li Chongjiu is unable to do anything at this moment, so he can only watch it outside. This mood is really bad.

The childbirth has been from day to afternoon, but when the hot water comes in and out, Li Hu is also mentally exhausted. When Li Chongjiu saw this, he wanted Li Hu to go back and rest, so he should not suffer this.

Li Hu thought he couldn't help, so he agreed.

Li Chongjiu, Shi Deyun, and Empress Xiao were sitting under the eaves of the corridor, while Li Ying was tired of playing and sat in Shi Deyun's arms without knowing anything.

Seeing Li Ying active and active, Queen Xiao couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinched his face, and smiled and said, "This child is really cute. I want Ehuang to keep him by my side and get close to you in the future."

Li Chongjiu's expression moved when he heard this, but Shi Deyun did not hear the implicit voice of Queen Xiao, and said, "Okay, it's also a blessing for Ying'er to value it so much."

Li Chongjiu snorted and said, "This kid has been playing hard since he was a child. How could Ehuang withstand his troubles? But the boy still needs me to take care of him in person so that he can avoid learning bad things. I think this kid is active and naughty and has a good discipline. He may be a brave general in the future."

Li Chongjiu gently took the words, and Queen Xiao smiled but didn't say anything. Shi Deyun lowered her head when she heard this, thinking that Xiaojiu thought she was not teaching Li Ying well, saying that she was like a child from the grassland and did not know etiquette at all.

In fact, Shi Deyun didn't know that Empress Xiao's words just now were trying to test Shi Deyun. If Shi Deyun asked Shi Deyun to give Li Ying to Yang Ehuang and let Yang Ehuang raise him, it would be equivalent to recognizing Yang Ehuang as his mother in the future. This is not surprising. When the southern gentry had no place in the family in the past, the side room would hand over their children to the family to raise. Even if they were given a legitimate throne, they could inherit their father's family business in the future.

This is a kind of exchange between wives and concubines. For the father, they are all their own sons and don’t care too much. For the unborn wife, they retain their status as their wife. And the concubine who is a concubine can also gain a position second only to the wife in the concubine.

However, after the child is handed over, there is no much relationship with the side room except blood. Even when the child sees his biological mother, he does not call him mother or mother, but is just a general term for other concubines. In name, the real mother of the child is only the main wife.

Shi Deyun didn't understand anything. The Han people still had this rule, and she didn't understand what Queen Xiao meant. Shi Deyun didn't understand, but Li Chongjiu understood and could not pretend to know nothing. Li Chongjiu knew that Li Ying was as loving as life for Shi Deyun. If she gave Li Ying to Yang Ehuang to raise him personally, it would be like she had lost this son.

For Shi Deyun, this was like killing her. For Shi Deyun, Li Chongjiu refused Queen Xiao's suggestion without hesitation. At the same time, he also politely stated that Li Ying would be a general in the future and would not threaten the throne of the son of Yang Ehuang in the future.

Queen Xiao’s face was calm and she could not see the embarrassment of being rejected by Li Chongjiu. She was worthy of being the lord of the harem and had been trained for many years.

Li Chongjiu can still understand Queen Xiao. Everything she has done for Yang Ehuang. If she has a daughter, she can kill bad factors and forever consolidate her position as queen.

However, this mother-in-law really made Li Chongjiu dare not take it lightly.

Just as the three of them were thinking, a sudden sound of the baby's powerful cry broke the silence in the yard.

There was snow in the yard, and everyone's mind was in the room, but Li Yingren was sleeping on his shoulders in the room.

"Born, born."

"Very good."

Li Chongjiu, Shi Deyun, and Empress Xiao suddenly stood up and looked inside the house.

Boy or girl?

How about Ehuang?

Li Chongjiu suddenly swallowed and couldn't speak.
