Li Dan looked at his daughter-in-law's belly while eating.
It was confirmed that it was a boy.
The other children were the eldest and second sons, but this one was the son of the first wife.
He liked this child more because the other children were old, but his son, Li Longji, was not old yet.
When the officials were clamoring for a crown prince, he did not agree.
The emperor was in his prime. When would he succeed the throne if the crown prince was chosen?
But there was no other way. Retired emperor sounded nice, but he had no power. Besides, the emperor's son had to consider the opinions of the officials.
Now, there was a little guy. The key was that the empress could give birth.
Even if it was too early for this little guy to be the crown prince, they would give birth to an even younger one.
Empress Wang felt her father-in-law's gaze and proudly stuck out her belly. She was not afraid of being looked at. She was very powerful now, and the baby was healthy.
When women nowadays knew that they were pregnant with a boy, and that he was very 'good-looking', their temperament was different.
For example, every three days, her husband would come to accompany her for one day. Why would he find a concubine? Take a break.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Longji. Li Longji smiled. An empress with a boy was indeed powerful.
It was not only a problem between husband and wife, but also involved the Tang dynasty.
Once this child was born, he would be doted on by all the officials.
The eldest son, the virtuous son, and the son of the first wife. It all depended on the situation.
Thinking of these three kinds of sons, Li Longji could not help but think of Li Yi.
He hummed, "The waves run, the waves flow, the river flows for thousands of miles, the river never stops …"
"What kind of fight is there? San Lang, let uncle teach this child in the future. "
Empress Wang understood, but she did not admit that there was competition with other children.
The teachers of the princes kneeled in front of my uncle.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yi will teach him. But he has to be born. Don't worry." Li Longji comforted his wife. This wife was very powerful now.
The key was that if he brought other women to Zhuangzi, Brother Yi would probably become cold.
"This song is good. It talks about the struggle and helplessness in life." Li Dan hummed and said.
He had been helpless his entire life. One moment he was the Crown Prince, the next he was the Emperor, and then he was demoted, promoted, and demoted again.
The two Empresses were dead, and only this Noble Consort Lu was left by his side.
Why was it so bumpy? How many loved ones had died in this battle? His younger sister, Princess Taiping, had been sentenced to death.
"Father, it will get better in the future." Empress Wang comforted him. She had put in a lot of effort.
Some people said that she killed too much and that was why she didn't have children.
But now, she felt that she could still kill him.
Noble Consort Lu saw that the atmosphere wasn't too good, so she smiled and said, "That child's songwriting is indeed extraordinary. I wonder if the drought and plague of locusts will be serious after my trip to Luoyang. "
"No, he can't go." Empress Wang didn't care about the result. As long as it involved Li Yi, she would support it.
What other people said was not important. Was the Imperial Physician Bureau powerful? Could he let her have a child?
"Look back, look at Yuanzhi." Li Longji thought of what Li Yi said many days ago.
"Yes, Yuanzhi!" Li Dan said in an impartial manner.
He knew that Yao Chong was not convinced. He was so old, but he was bullied time and time again by a young man, yet he couldn't do anything about it.
When the young man talked about agriculture, he was amazing. When he talked about the workshop, he was amazing. When he talked about the military, he was amazing. When he talked about enriching the people, he was amazing. When he talked about saving people, he was amazing. When he talked about making money, he was amazing.
Li Dan understood that Yao Chong had done well enough. The problem was that there was someone better.
He believed that if Yao Chong was taken down and promoted to the position of the young man, he would still be able to do it with ease.
That young man was a gift from the heavens to the Tang dynasty. He sacrificed the entire Zhuangzi clan.
But for some reason, even though it was so close to Zhuangzi, he had no impression of that place. Who was it? He couldn't remember.
"Report! The Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi, and Li Dongzhu left one last song for the Nanqu family before they left. The Nanqu family has already returned to Pyong Kang Square and is singing it now. "
A eunuch came in to report and kept an eye on them.
"What song?" Li Longji was not satisfied. You told me the song, and then what?
"That Li Dongzhu said it was called the guitar. This subject doesn't know how to play it."
The eunuch wanted to cry. He was annoyed. The guitar had been invented long ago. He didn't think it was good, so he didn't learn it.
"Gao Lishi." Empress Wang shouted.
"This subject is here." Gao Lishi waited outside.
"Do you know? Give this subject an hour. This subject will come back and play it! "Gao Lishi told the truth.
"Go." Empress Wang said. She added, "This … teach him how to play the guitar."
"This subject thanks Your Highness. This subject thanks Your Highness." The eunuch directly knelt and kowtowed.
He knew that he was alive and wouldn't be punished because of the Empress' words.
"The child hasn't been born yet. It's better to kill less in the palace." Empress Wang said while touching her belly.
She only revealed her identity as the Empress now. Who had the final say in the harem?
Li Dan and Noble Consort Lu didn't have anything to say. They both knew that the Empress was good to the people in the harem, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't kill.
The status of an Empress who was pregnant and an Empress who was childless were completely different.
If she wanted to kill a concubine, she could find a reason to do so now.
It was said to be an hour, but it was actually a little more than half an hour. Gao Lishi came in sweating.
He was holding a guitar in his hand. He had learned it. Recently, he had been working hard to learn all the new instruments Li Yi and Zhuangzi had.
There was another eunuch who came in with him. His name was Qing Song.
Each of them had a guitar.
"Retired Emperor, Noble Consort Lu, Your Majesty, Empress, they said that one guitar was enough for Li Dongzhu to play this song.
But beginners need two guitars to play it. The technique requirements are quite high. Currently, there are only six people in the Southern Song Family who can play a single guitar. "
Gao Lishi first explained why it was two guitars.
"No harm, play it." Li Longji knew that many of Li Yi's instruments were different from the ones now, so he expressed his understanding.
So Gao Lishi and Qing Song began to play the prelude and then sing.
"Not to mention that the green hills have many obstacles, the wind is also strong and strong, the white clouds can also convey feelings over the mountain peak …"
The two guitars worked together to play the effect of Li Yi's single guitar.
Although the guitar only had six strings, if played well, it could show harmony, breakdown, accompaniment, and single notes.
Just like the harmonica, some people could only play single notes, while others could add accompaniment and even nine chords.
Right now, there were two guitars together.
One played single notes, and the other played accompaniment. It could have been done with just one guitar.
After singing once, Li Longji's expression was relaxed. "A song about the affairs of men and women, Brother Yi, you must be … bored."
He originally wanted to say that he was yearning for love, but then he thought it was wrong. Li Yi never expressed his true thoughts in poems and songs.
Empress Wang followed and said, "The song is so simple, but it makes people happy. You two don't cooperate well enough. Practice more and pass it on in the palace."
"I understand." Gao Lishi responded. Qing Song had nothing to say.
At this time, two songs were circulating in Pyong Kang Square. One was "Waves Rush Waves Flow", and the other was "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains Will Always Be Love".
