The way Li Po looked at her, he couldn't help but think of the time he spent sleeping rough in Mayi County.
That child, who was like a lost cub, is now about to become a mother. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. There have been ups and downs along the way, but the results have been successful and there is no trouble.
In a blink of an eye, he thought about what Li Chun had said about something that was bothering him. It was all nonsense and it didn't sound very pleasant to his ears. He held a moment of silence for Xu Shiji.
He suddenly became angry. He raised his hand but put it down again, "I'm telling you, when a boy or girl is born, you should take good care of me. Don't follow Tianxiang's example.
Look at how she became a mother. She threw the child away and disappeared, even cattle and sheep did this. If you dare to be so heartless, you will see if I can spare you."
Li Chun said dissatisfied: "The baby hasn't been born yet, and the eldest brother is nagging like this. When we see the child, eldest brother, do you still want a girl?"
Li Po snorted, "You know everything. I won't say more. As a mother, you have to behave... Your sister-in-law is having a temper with me..."
At this point, Li Po was also a little embarrassed. The turn was too abrupt and did not suit his temperament. Li Po couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Stop wandering around, go to Qingning Palace to help me persuade you, and go to the tower at night to watch the lanterns for others to see...what does it look like?"
Li Chun finally understood. It turned out that her eldest brother had brought her here to talk and was actually having difficulty.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but let out a cry of joy. She saw her brother glaring at her, but he didn't slap her on the head again.
She thought, so there are such benefits to being pregnant with a baby? Not only did her husband become more cautious about her, but even her brother became wary.
Well, not bad, it seems that I might consider having more children in the future...
…………
"You can tell at a glance that it's the elder brother who is in the wrong. But don't worry, elder brother, I'll go and persuade my sister-in-law... That's not right. I know the elder brother's abilities best, so why can't I do anything?
Big brother...you couldn't have made your sister-in-law angry by having someone outside again...that's not right either..."
Li Po couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders, "What are you guessing? I just drank a few more drinks at the banquet the day before yesterday and asked the Lord of Silla to pour a few glasses of wine beside me, so I didn't care much.
Your sister-in-law is obsessed with it. No, she hasn't seen anyone for two days. I know she is just doing it for me, but she can't go too far, right?
You go to Haosheng and give me some advice. Your sister-in-law is a sensible person, and her anger has probably disappeared a long time ago. She just needs a step up, do you understand?"
Li Chun nodded, "I knew my sister-in-law wouldn't be annoying for no reason, haha..."
Li Po's head was filled with black marks, you know what the heck, "If I, your eldest brother, can't pass this test, believe it or not, I will keep you out of the house for half a year."
Li Chundu said, "Brother, it's so unreasonable. What does this have to do with me? Why should I vent my anger on others?"
Li Po relaxed his mouth and said impatiently: "How big of a deal it is, you still push back and forth, it's a waste of money for you, it's really annoying every single one of you.
Also, tell your sister-in-law that you are pregnant, and once she is happy, she will let go of everything, how simple... Let Mr. Xu Maogong go there with you, I will get angry just looking at him."
Li Chun left with a smile. No matter what, she had to taste this melon...

At this time, Wang Zhibian and Xu Shiji were chatting in the front hall, and the topic was naturally about military matters.
Both of them are founding fathers and generals of the Wei government, so they have no shortage of topics to talk about.
Wang Zhibian's qualifications were much deeper than Xu Shiji's, but Xu Shiji was not only a general, but also the eldest princess's consort, which was enough to even the gap.
The two men also have their own merits in terms of military achievements. Wang Zhibian followed Li Po to defeat the Turks many times, and also accompanied the army to defeat Luo Yi in Youzhou. He was considered a veteran of Li Po's army.
Xu Shiji surrendered late, and his credit was mainly concentrated on following Li Po to pacify the princes. Especially in the battle of Henan, Xu Shiji went to Luoyang alone and contributed to the pacification of Henan.
Later, Tubo invaded the south. Zhang Lun led Xu Shiji, Zhang Shigui, Xiao Siye, Ashina Danai and others to lead the army to defeat it. Xu Shiji then joined forces with Xue Wanjun, the general manager of Lingzhou, to station in Shuofang. Later, he put down the rebellion in Liang Shidu and took back Yulin.
In other places, their contribution is not small.
Therefore, both of them were generals who grew up in the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty. They seemed to be about the same, but in fact Xu Shiji was still young and his talents were not comparable to that of Wang Zhibian. His future achievements would definitely be beyond Wang Zhibian's reach.
It's just that now they are both guests of Lingyan Pavilion and the emperor's confidants, so there is not much difference between them.
In comparison, Changsun Shunde can only be regarded as an outsider. Even though he once led troops, his military achievements are not comparable to those of today's generals. Even under Li Yuan's rule, he was not as good as Chai Shao in terms of military achievements.
, Liu Hongji and others are far behind.
…………
Naturally, the two generals in the palace would not treat their servants as useless. Occasionally, Sun Shunde, the eldest son, would interject a sentence or two. Wang Zhibian's responses were very perfunctory. Xu Shiji was a good person and had a good attitude when replying.
In just a few words, eldest son Shunde saw that Xu Shiji was from Henan, so he started talking about old things in Henan, which made Xu Shiji gradually become impatient.
His stories in Henan are almost all his dark history, and now he is afraid to avoid them. When he is with Zhang Liang and other old friends, he can recall them, and forget about others.
Xu Shiji felt that his eldest grandson, Shunde, was very disrespectful. Besides, you, a member of a Luoyang family, are hiding in Luoyang City and enjoying the glory and wealth. How do you know the sufferings of the rest of us?
Besides, Henan is so messy with the law that it forces everyone to rise up. Isn’t this the result of you dog officials not doing human affairs?
It's just a short sentence to say "not speculative", but Xu Shiji's attitude changed very quickly, from being serious to being cold and perfunctory, just in these few sentences.
When Li Po and Li Chun's brother and sister returned to the front, Li Chun immediately whispered a few words to her husband and both left.
When he arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall, Xu Shiji couldn't help but said to his wife, "That Xianbei boy is so shameless and has the nerve to tell me that there are so many heroes in Henan.
If it weren't for this kind of people, Dongjun was so close to Luoyang. How could Shan Xiongxin and Zhai Rang, the two thieves, have dared to cause trouble? How could I have been forced to fall into the grass?
He must be in the Tai Chi Hall, otherwise I would have to make him look good."
Li Chun glanced at her husband. The two had been married for several years, so she naturally knew what was on his mind. She was deeply ashamed of her experience of being a bandit, and rarely mentioned it even to her.
Son of Xianbei... the only one in the palace is Shunde, the eldest grandson. This is because he did not know what he was doing, and getting close to her husband violated his taboo.
"Calm down, it's the Lantern Festival... Well, I'm in a bad mood during this festival. You should be careful and don't let me do anything to you."
