Although Li Xian had no feelings for Yang Yushu, he still had to bear the responsibility. Therefore, after he returned to the palace, he immediately ordered people to build a Taoist temple adjacent to his palace. All the idle personnel in the Taoist temple
He carefully selected those servant girls who were hard-working and honest to serve as servants, and he was responsible for all the expenses in the temple.
The Taoist temple project was carried out in a hurry, and it took only one month to complete it. Li Xian named it Yuzhen Temple, and ordered people to secretly take over Yang Yushu's master and servant, and appointed Yang Yushu as the master of the temple.
At this time, Yang Yushu no longer used her real name to the outside world, but used her own Buddhist name "Miao Zhen".
After the day passed, Li Xian was studying in his mansion. Suddenly he heard someone calling the door all night long. He suddenly felt shocked. The call came from the corner door not far from the study. He knew that the person who came must be someone from the nearby Yuzhen Temple.
, because this door leads directly to Yuzhen Temple and is a door specially opened to facilitate contact with Yuzhen Temple, so as soon as he heard the doorbell being called, Li Xian knew that his first child might be about to be born.
Although his relationship with Yang Yushu was very weak, it did not mean that Li Xian was not excited. After all, this was the birth of his first child in two lives. If he said he was not excited, even he would not believe it.
So this time Li Xian opened the corner door in person, and as expected he saw Lan'er who was anxious all the time and said: "Miss suddenly has pain in her abdomen, it seems she is about to give birth."
Li Xian nodded when he heard this and said: "Wen Po is ready. She is in the other courtyard here. Let her get up immediately."
After speaking, Li Xian personally invited Wenpo and brought her into Yuzhen Temple.
In fact, Li Xian had prepared this Wen Po in advance. However, for the sake of confidentiality, Li Xian did not look for Wen Po in the name of the prince. Instead, he invited an experienced Wen Po from Chang'an in a private name.
He concealed his identity and that of Yang Yushu, and arranged them in a house near Yuzhen Temple. Once Yang Yushu was about to give birth, he could be there at any time.
The next time, of course, was extremely anxious waiting. Listening to Yang Yushu's screams, even though Li Xian didn't have much affection for her, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her now. This woman had suffered so much for her.
I really owe her a lot, and I must make it up to her properly in the future.
"But what should I use to compensate her? Money? This thing is the most useless to me, but it is also of no use to her, not to mention that paying money is just an insult to her noble character. Official title?
Don't say that I don't have the ability to promote her natal family to an official title. Even if I have the ability, promoting her father to the prime minister will only make up for the guilt in my heart. In fact, it has no meaning at all to her. Besides,
I can't do either of these two things at the moment. Not only that, I also want to take her child away from her hands. What I do is really too cruel to her. Alas! This woman's temperament
She is tenacious and looks easy to talk to, but her stubborn temperament is rare in the world. If she hadn't been lured with a child before, I'm afraid she wouldn't have come to my Jade Truth Temple."
While Li Xian was listening to Yang Yushu's heart-wrenching screams, he was thinking about Yang Yushu's affairs. It was as if there were a hundred cats' claws scratching in his heart. It was really unbearable.
Fortunately, not long after such a difficult day, I heard a loud cry of a child, and then I saw the attendant girl running over and saying with a smile: "Congratulations, Lang, for giving birth to a little boy."
"Oh? It's a son!" Li Xian was filled with joy when he heard this, and was about to run indoors, but saw Po Wen coming out of the room, glanced at him and said: "My wife has just given birth, and there is still a smell of blood in the room, which is bigger than a man's."
It's unlucky, don't go in now. I've never seen a father like you be so impatient!"
Na Wenpo had no idea that the person standing in front of her was actually the famous King of Zhou, so she spoke without any scruples. And because she was very tired from all the hard work just now, she just spoke in her usual tone, which was naturally a bit bad.
However, Li Xian didn't pay attention and immediately ordered to reward Wen Po generously. When Wen Po saw that Li Xian actually rewarded her with a small piece of gold, her eyes suddenly straightened, as if she had a different face.
He thanked Li Xian profusely and praised the child unceasingly. At the same time, he asked Li Xian to carry the prepared hot water into the room and bathe the newborn himself. After the child was cleaned, the room was also clean.
After tidying up, Na Wenpo also walked out of the inner room before letting Li Xian in.
Only then did Li Xian see his son.
It’s no wonder that Mrs. Wen praised her so much. Li Xian’s son is really extraordinary, with fair skin and a pair of bright little eyes. The most amazing thing is that as soon as Li Xian took him over, the little guy stared.
A pair of eyes looked at him, making him laugh.
"snort!"
Li Xianzheng was smiling proudly when he suddenly heard a cold snort. He couldn't help but look up and saw Yang Yushu's personal maid Lan'er looking at him with an angry face. He was immediately embarrassed. He handed the child to Lan'er and came to Yang Yushu.
He laughed twice, and then said sheepishly: "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
Yang Yushu could only be heard saying feebly: "It's okay."
It was meaningless for the two of them to talk like this, and it was quite nonsense. Li Xian was silent for a moment and then said: "Our son is handsome, fair and good-looking. He will definitely be a blessed man in the future. Why don't you take a look?"
But Yang Yushu said lightly: "No need, after seeing this, I can't bear to leave you. You, you'd better hurry up and take the child away. Remember, don't treat the child badly, otherwise I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
"
Li Xian was silent for a while after hearing this, but he still waved his hand to Chunyan, his personal maid, to take the child.
"Miss!" Lan'er was very resistant to this and was unwilling to hand the child to Chunyan. She couldn't help but hold back the tears that were about to flow out and looked at Yang Yushu.
But Yang Yushu waved his hand and said, "Here, give it to her."
Lan'er reluctantly handed the child to Chunyan, and then, as if she had suddenly made a strong determination, she gritted her teeth and said to Yang Yushu: "Miss, I want to take care of the child in Prince Zhou's palace, and I hope the lady will agree."
"Hey, why are you doing this?" Yang Yushu naturally understood what Lan'er meant. He was worried that the child would live in the palace and not know who his biological mother was in the future, so he was willing to give up his youth to take care of this child.
However, when she saw that Lan'er was determined, she no longer refused. She looked at Li Xian and said, "The King of Zhou needs to make the decision for all this. You need to ask him."
What else could Li Xian say after seeing this? He admired Lan'er from the bottom of his heart as a righteous servant, so he naturally agreed. He also specifically ordered that Lan'er's various treatments be raised to the same level as Chunyan's, and
A small courtyard was specially allocated to her and she was ordered to take care of the children full-time.
"Can you give the child a nickname? So that I can bear witness in the future." At the end, Yang Yushu couldn't help but sigh softly when she saw that Li Xian was about to leave, and finally couldn't help but ask the child's name.
At that time, when a child was born, the name had to be chosen by the elders of the family. Especially for princes like Li Xian, the children generally had to be named by the emperor himself, so if they wanted to name their children, they could only give them nicknames.
Li Xian was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "You are his mother, and I owe you so much, mother and son, so you can choose the child's nickname."
But Yang Yushu was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "This child is handsome, which is similar to his parents, so his nickname will be changed to Chongjun."
"Chongjun? Prince Li Chongjun?" Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. Why is history such a coincidence? The son he gave birth to was actually called Li Chongjun!
"But history is still different. Although my son is still named Li Chongjun, he was born more than ten years earlier. His mother is also different from the one in history. What's more, he is the eldest now, not the original one.
The third child, since there are so many differences, I believe this Li Chongjun will definitely be different as well."
Yang Yushu didn't know what Li Xian was thinking. Seeing Li Xian's thoughtful look, she thought she had chosen a bad name, so she said, "I know it's not a good name, so why don't you choose another one.
"
Only then did Li Xian react and said with a smile: "The name is very good. There is no need to change it. If you, you, have any difficulties in the future, just say it. Don't worry, even though Lan'er has left, I will definitely give it another try."
Send a few capable maids to take care of you. Alas, as long as it lasts a few more years and the child grows up, both you and the child can clear their names."
"Haha, rectify your title? I wonder how many more years should I wait for this? Ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years? As long as my child can become your son, what do I care about my title?"
Yang Yushu secretly smiled bitterly in her heart, but she didn't say anything to Li Xian. She just said coldly: "I'm tired, it's time to rest."
Hearing this, Li Xian could only give a few more instructions, and then left. Although he heard Yang Yushu's gentle sobbing as soon as he went out, he did not stop any longer.
So what if he stayed? He couldn't make the matter public now under any circumstances, because it would do no good to him, her or the child, and would only bring disaster.
"What I owe you, mother and son, can only be properly compensated after I take the throne later." Li Xian sighed softly and left wordlessly.
Early in the morning on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Xianheng in the Tang Dynasty, good news came from the palace. Wang Xian of Zhou had been blessed with a palace maid before, and as a result, the palace maid became pregnant and gave birth to a baby last night.
Unfortunately, the palace man died due to dystocia, and the son he gave birth to was safe and sound. So Emperor Gaozong, who was overjoyed, decreed that the palace man named Wu (there was no such person, naturally "Wu") was the king's sidekick.
The concubine named her eldest grandson Chongzhao, and granted her the title of Prince of Linzi (prefecture king), granting a general amnesty to the world. (To be continued.)
