Chapter 109: Gift Pearl Sizi
When Xu Qilin hurried back to Chang'an, Xiao Zhao had already made arrangements to serve his sister.
Two reliable servants who had been in the Xu family for many years entered the palace and were taken care of intimately for 24 hours. Mrs. Zheng, who was over one year old, would also enter the palace regularly with Xiao Zhao to give instructions on precautions during pregnancy.
Xiao Zhao is still sensible, and the summer vacation in the villa has been cancelled, just to make the sister's pregnancy smooth and she can give birth to a baby safely.
Xiao Zhao also knew Xu Qilin's concerns, so he naturally made this decision without having to talk too much.
After resting for a night, Xu Qilin brought the sand table he had made the next day and went to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty Li Er.
I wanted to bring A Ke back to take care of A Sister, but Xiaoye was really unreliable and was unwilling to enter the palace again. Xu Qilin had to take Daya and let her see how her sister looked and others.
Public first and then private. Although Xu Qilin wanted to see his sister in a hurry, he still had to let the guards report to the palace first. After all, he was no longer a twelve-year-old boy and could no longer be casual in the palace.
His Majesty Li Er's summons were quick, and Xu Qilin immediately asked someone to carry it to the sand table and rushed to Qianqiu Palace.
When he entered the palace to pay homage, he showed his rituals and Xu Qilin found that His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood. I wonder if it was because he wanted to add a prince and a princess.
In fact, His Majesty Li Er was indeed happy about it.
It's been seven or eight years since Xincheng is the youngest princess. His Majesty Li Er has many beauties in the harem, but he has no children again. And this time, he suddenly has it. Doesn't it prove that he is healthy and still has his might?
It is not only facts that prove that His Majesty Li Er himself also felt the change.
After careful consideration, he thought that the health prescription given by Xu Qilin played a role. What health tea, Xiaoyao pills, and even the meditation mantra and the clear heart mantra also caused a lot of his liver fire to drop.
Of course, His Majesty Li Er thought that Xu Qilin was not capable of this, which was the ability of Lu Yuxian. For Taoist health preservation, in addition to alchemy, there was indeed a way to enjoy a long life.
As an emperor, he is already rich in the world, and is healthy and prolongs life is naturally the highest pursuit. As for immortality, it can only be an illusory dream.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er feels that he can live another five hundred years without saying that, at least his life span is certain. Thanks to Lu Yu, thanks to Xu Qilin...
"I made the sand table so quickly and returned to Chang'an so quickly. I am honored to be loyal." His Majesty Li Er really thought Xu Qilin was for the sand table, but he didn't know that he had already known that his sister was pregnant, so he hurried back.
Xu Qilin immediately climbed up along the pole and said, "Your Majesty has his life, how dare I delay?" As he said that, he asked the palace servants to place the sand table, lift off the covered linen, and ask His Majesty Li Er to come forward to watch.
His Majesty Li Er walked closer, looked at it intently, and couldn't help but nod and praise.
As for three-dimensional sand tables, mountains, rivers and roads are all visible, which is much stronger than the ghost painting talismans on the flat map.
Xu Qilin also asked the carpenter to make several models of small boats, and he picked them up and placed them in the Denglai and Gutang positions.
"Sea transportation?!" His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "The navy is indeed of great use to attack Goguryeo."
Xu Qilin pushed the boat to Juehua Island and said, "If you transport food and supplies from the sea, you can build a warehouse on this island. Then, it can be transported to the coast of Liaodong for use by our army."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and asked, "Is this the Liaohe River?"
Xu Qilin nodded and said, "The Sui army was defeated in the Liaohe River. When the Liaohe River rose sharply, it was difficult to cross, and there were many swamps, which made it difficult for people to walk."
After saying that, Xu Qilin used his finger to mark the coastal road in the western Liaoning Corridor, "Although this road is the most convenient, it is often filled with sea tides, which is also easy to become difficult to move through mud."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "I already know these things and will never repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui."
After pausing, His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice, "Nine Visions are now in this corner. The descendants are strong in their military and horses, and their counselors guided them to fight for the expedition. The chaos begins. Therefore, I have taken it on my own and will not leave behind the worries of the future generations."
Don’t interfere, you have done everything, so that your descendants can become arrogant, extravagant, corrupt and degenerate?
Xu Qilin scratched his head, but didn't know how to pour cold water to dispel His Majesty Li Er's ambitions. He could only exclaim, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, Goguryeo is a great disaster, and Liaodong must be firmly in the hands of our Tang Dynasty so that we can be worry-free in the future."
The Northeast and Northwest are both border troubles of the Central Plains dynasty, but strangely, although the Northwest is threatening, it cannot overturn the dynasty, but the Northeast is a major trouble. The Jin and Qing dynasties all started their troops from the Northeast and included the Central Plains.
Therefore, destroying Goguryeo is the second to restore Liaodong, which is something Xu Qilin cares about.
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard in front of the sand table and thought for a while. He seemed to remember something. He turned his head and smiled and said to Xu Qilin, "Well, there is nothing else, go to Bingxia Palace to meet my sister!"
Xu Qilin hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Guided by the palace servants and carrying new toys, Xu Qilin headed straight to Bingxia Palace. As for the safety of his sister, Xu Qilin did not think that it would happen, such as other palace scenes where intrigues harmed people for favor.
The main reason is His Majesty Li Er's strength, and no one in the harem dared to do this. It was not until the scumbag Li Zhi that messy things happened frequently.
What Wu Meiniang strangled her biological daughter to death, what poisoned her niece to death, etc. It seemed that she did it, and she did not have the courage to be so cruel and ruthless.
Of course, just in case it is still necessary. Sending your own servant into the palace was based on this consideration.
When I arrived at Bingxia Palace, I saw Xu Hui sitting in the pavilion reading a book. The wind was warm, and the servants were watching the palace guarding each other.
After reading a few pages of the book, Xu Hui reached out to cover her mouth, yawned, and the sleepy feeling came up again.
When he turned around and saw the younger brother coming hurriedly, Xu Hui sat down again, looked at him with a smile, and prepared to have a good chat with him.
Xu Qilin walked closer, looked at his sister, and said with a smile, "Sister, I'm back to see you."
Xu Hui smiled, and as time came, he knew that he did not return after receiving the news, but there were outsiders around her, so she didn't say it out loud, signaling Xu Qilin to sit down, and turned around and waved the people beside her back.
"I didn't expect my younger brother to be so observant-" Xu Hui joked and said, "That's what Xiao Zhao said, isn't it interesting?"
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It's not home yet. At that time, I felt that my sister was a little strange, but it was not until Xin'an that I remembered what my teacher taught me, and I didn't dare to be very sure."
Xu Hui nodded with a smile and said, "Most of your worries will be removed now. Don't talk nonsense in the future."
Xu Qilin didn't say anything, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Only by giving birth to children safely, I can't let go of my heart. I'm outside and can't take care of everything. Sister must take good care of it."
"You can do it with peace of mind. Sister has so many people waiting for you, so there will definitely be no problem."
Xu Hui comforted her, gently pulled out the colorful jade beads on her wrist, and said quietly, "I know you and Xiao Zhao don't like the constraints in the palace, and they also think that Sister is lonely. In fact, this is not the case. Sister is still very happy in the palace."
As he said that, Xu Huizhan smiled and pointed to the books on the stone table, "Sister likes to read books, and the royal collection of books is probably the most in the world. Well, this is called everyone has their own preferences!"
Xu Qilin pursed the corner of his lips and refused to comment, but he still smiled and said, "Sister thinks it's good to be happy. If you have me and my elder brother at home, you don't have to worry too much."
"Forget it, Qi Qi." Xu Hui smiled and shook her head, saying, "Meng Wei is better than him when it comes to the butler. Xiao Zhao has grown up, and I think she is also very good."
The siblings were chatting, and Xu Qilin secretly contacted Daya and confirmed that Xu Hui was well before he felt relieved.
But there was another thing. Xu Qilin wanted to see Yizi's illness, but knew that it seemed wrong to go directly to Jinyang Palace. He was about to send a palace servant to invite him on the excuse of sending toys, but Yizi and Xincheng came.
Xu Hui didn't know that there was something else about me, and she smiled and explained, "The two princesses come to see me every day, which is more on time than paying his Majesty's greetings."
Good boy, I'm here to see you, maybe I can save your life.
I stood up and greeted the two princesses. The whisker was quite upright. Xincheng was still a child's character. When I saw my uncle, I asked what fun it brought.
Xu Qilin hurriedly asked the palace servant to bring the tricycle he brought and teach Xincheng how to ride on it. Xincheng immediately grasped the key points and rode on the car and played with laughter.
"Is this small car only suitable for new city?" Yizi was not jealous, but was a little dissatisfied, favoring one and the other, which seemed that Xu Qilin didn't take her seriously.
Xu Qilin smiled and asked the palace servant to bring a box, opened it, took out the glass ball and handed it to Yizi, "This is a new product, there are only three, for you and Xincheng, and sister."
Yizi took the glass ball and found something inside. When she looked closely, it was a small house, and there was a child and a snowman outside.
Xu Qilin took another one, shook it hard, and smiled and let Yizi see it, "It's snowing!"
The snowflakes flying all over the sky filled the space of the glass ball. The little house, the villain immediately became vivid and stared at it carefully as if he was in the scene.
Yizi shook the glass ball in her hand hard, then grinned and looked carefully.
Xu Qilin handed the glass ball in his hand to Ajie, "It's just a toy, I'll make Ajie happy."
Xu Hui nodded with a smile, took it over and played with it, and found it novel and interesting.
Xu Qilin secretly moved the Soul-Retaining Order to his right eye and observed the Sildew. He rarely did this, especially during the day, and observed the living people.
As Daya said, there was something like fog between Weizi's eyebrows and forehead, which was not pitch black, but light black.
Xu Qilin frowned and asked in a deep thought, "Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable recently?"
Yizi was having fun. Wen Yu turned his head to look at Xu Qilin, showed a strange expression, and said, "No, I think it's pretty good."
"It may not be because of illness, but because of bad luck." Daya reminded.
Xu Qilin felt that it was difficult to deal with this, but in the mood of trying it, he still smiled and said, "The master has taught a certain pulse diagnosis. Your princess doesn't mind someone's diagnosis?"
Yizi blinked and hesitated.
"I've already diagnosed my sister, it's quite effective!" Xu Qilin boasted.
Yizi smiled and said, "What is the reason for the pulse diagnosis? It's not about worshiping gods and seeking the Bodhisattva." As she said that, she sat down and stretched out her hand, "Come on, try your effective pulse diagnosis technique."
Xu Qilin calmed down, but Zhao Hun was on the upper body, stretched out three fingers and put them on Yizi's wrist. He felt that Yizi's hand moved. When he looked up, he found that Yizi's face seemed a little red.
After concentrating on his mind, Xu Qilin didn't think much about it. He focused on taking the pulse. After a while, he was helpless to find that the pulse was normal and there was no problem at all.
"Give her your flowing beads!" Daya sighed, "Maybe she can save her life!"
Xu Qilin's face was solemn, and he frowned and squinted, which made Yizi a little nervous. Xu Hui also frowned slightly from beside him, as if he was a little worried.
"What? Is there really something wrong?" Yiziqiang smiled, "Is it still the pulse diagnosis technique that is not effective?"
Xu Qilin laughed twice, let go of his fingers, took off the flowing beads, put them on Yizi's wrist, and said to Yizi who was a little surprised, "This is a spiritual object, which has the effect of turning misfortune into good fortune. Please wear a belt with His Highness the Princess, and you must not take it off."
Wei Zi's face seemed to turn red again. She looked down at Liuzhu, pulled her fingers one by one, and said, "It seems that you have been wearing it for three or four years-"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly explained, "It's not something else. I mean you often run outside, so it should be better to wear it, right?"
"I'm a tough life." Xu Qilin smiled and said, "As long as the princess doesn't bother you."
Yizi looked up at Xu Qilin and shook her head with a smile.
At this time, Xincheng rode around the car, jumped out of the car and ran over, staring at the glass ball in Xu Hui's hand with big eyes, and asked, "Xu Chongrong, what is this?"
Xu Hui shook the glass ball, letting the new city see the snowy scenery, and smiled and said, "Is it fun? There is another one in that box, which was given to you by Qi Lin."
Xincheng stared at the strange sight. When he heard that there was his own, he immediately called "Thank you, uncle". He ran over and took it out and shaking it, raising it in front of him and looking at it, giggling constantly.
Xu Qilin smiled and joked to Aizi, "Why don't you call me uncle? I thought it was strange last time I met!"
Wei Zi bit her lower lip lightly, but the blush on her face had not yet subsided, but she turned her head and said nothing. She secretly scolded the girl in her heart, saying that she would not call her uncle, why can't she change it?
Xu Hui felt that Yizi's performance today was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell why, so she smiled and said, "It's not easy to be an uncle. Next year, there will be a little baby to bother you."
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "How many times can I enter the palace? It's true that I'm annoyed by my sister."
Xu Hui smiled and didn't care, even full of happiness, and asked, "How many days can you stay when you come back? Aren't you busy doing business outside again?"
Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "Maybe we will set off the day after tomorrow. Xin'an will handle it well and go to Yangzhou to see the shipbuilding work."
Yizi looked at Xu Qilin and said nothing. After all, they still have to struggle, and although they are rich and well-behaved, they are not free.
