Chapter 68

In the following days, Li Xiao would run to the palace every day. Emperor Hongren was so depressed that he could not go to court any more. He asked Li Xiao to deal with state affairs on his behalf. Although there was no clear explanation, everyone knew that Li Xiao was the next emperor.

After the next Dynasty, Li Xiao would go to Yangxin hall, not only him, but also other brothers and sisters. Song song song also went there from time to time, but often they were still talking and laughing, and Emperor Hongren was silent.

At this time, the room would be quiet, waiting for Mr. Dou to tell them, "Your Majesty just fell asleep again."

This day, song song song passed as usual. He took the children's clothes with him. The Taiyi told him that if he could be given some hope, he might be able to hold on for a long time.

He went into the hall and said hello to Emperor Hongren. Emperor Hongren asked, "where's Xiao'er?"

Song song said, "you asked him to act as an agent for the dynasty these two days. It's not the Xia Dynasty yet."

Li Yang asked, "do you want to call him back?"

"Things matter." His voice was as light as a mosquito and a fly. He could only hear clearly when he sat close to him.

Now he seems to use all his strength to speak, so everyone spontaneously accompanies him and doesn't disturb him. Song song also sat beside his bed, and the married Princess couldn't put down the little clothes he brought: "is this made by jinyifang?"

"Exactly."

"The pattern of the embroidery is very exquisite. Did you draw it yourself?"

Song song said with a smile: "it's idle."

After a while, song song song saw that emperor Hongren was sitting there quietly again. He sat close to him and noticed that his inner clothes were wet. He said in a soft voice, "father, change your clothes. How come you are sweating again?"

"Sweating again?" The second princess came to her in a hurry and cried out anxiously, "father emperor?"

Emperor Hongren nods, Duke Dou pulls up the tent, and Li Yang goes in to help him change his clean clothes. These two days, he was always sweating, and the doctor had no choice but to change when he was soaked. The emperor in clean clothes met people again, and his sons and daughters sat around him again. Li Yang sat beside him, held his hand, and said, "the big brother should come back later."

They all tacit understanding full did not mention before, as if that never happened.

Emperor Hongren nodded again. His voice was like a mosquito or a fly. He could hardly hear it clearly.

Li Yang approached him and barely heard: "don't hate your brother."

His voice was so small that no one around could hear him. Li Yang agreed.

In front of the emperor Hongren was a small dress made for the child. His thumb passed gently, and then he held it still.

Li Yang sensitive attention to this scene, yelled: "father emperor?"

He called twice again. Duke Dou stepped forward quickly, helped emperor Hongren down and said, "Your Majesty?"

He hesitated and slowly extended his hand, ready to explore each other's breathing.

At this time, there was news from outside, and Li Shu said, "the eldest brother is coming back!"

Li Xiao, as his eldest son, as soon as he came near, people around him immediately asked him to step out of his seat. Along the way, he reached out and pressed emperor Hongren's hand and said, "my son is going down."

Emperor Hongren's hand was cold, but at this moment, he gently grasped Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao said: "father emperor?"

He never spoke again.

Li Xiao sat there quietly, looking at his forehead lines slowly spread, his face has withered yellow, he also slowly shook the hand of Hongren: "see you in the next life."

As soon as the words came out, several people in the house knelt down one after another, and Li Yang burst into tears: "father, Emperor!"

Dou Gonggong reminds a way in the side: "pay attention not to get tears on him, all stay away from crying, don't let him go uneasy."

Li Xiao left the bed and knelt down.

In the Empress Dowager's bedroom, she has been staying in the Buddhist hall since emperor Hongren was seriously ill. There is a sound behind her. The next to her mother runs in in a hurry. She stops playing with the Buddha beads and hears her sad way: "I'm going down!"

Starting from the Yangxin hall, slaves, bodyguards and maids knelt down one after another. The death knell sounded and the whole nation mourned.

On the day when Emperor Hongren was sent to the mausoleum, the sky was high and the sun was shining. The royal burial ceremony was too complicated. Song song song was pregnant, so he didn't enter the mausoleum. He sat in the carriage outside and looked inside. Suddenly, he thought of the empress of the Qin Dynasty, who had once had boundless scenery.

When she died, she had been abolished as Queen, so she was not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. In the end, she was really buried in the imperial mausoleum, accompanied by Emperor Hongren, or only queen Zhao.

It is said that even her inscriptions were carved by Emperor Hongren himself.

On the way, song song song and Li Xiao went to the palace one by one.

The imperial edict of succession has announced to the world. Although he has not officially ascended the throne or put on the Dragon Robe, the man has become the leader of the world.

Song song looks at Li Xiao's chariot in the carriage. He can't see Li Xiao, and he doesn't know what Li Xiao is thinking. But because of the death of emperor Hongren, Li Xiao is busy preparing for the funeral, and at the same time, he has to cooperate with the Ministry of rites to prepare for the grand ceremony. He hasn't been able to talk to Li Xiao these days.Song song had a feeling that the distance between them was suddenly far away.

He put down the curtain, sighed, and went back to the palace to lie down. He just lay down, but he didn't fall asleep. He was a bit at a loss. He wondered if Li Xiao had forgotten him. After all, according to the rules, after the grand ceremony, there would be a draft to ensure the royal family's prosperity.

He inevitably thought of emperor Hongren and empress Zhao. Although he said that empress Zhao was the only one, he still met other women, not only Qin Qinghe, Li Qing's mother, Li Shu's mother, including Li Yun's mother

Song song shook his head, puffed up his cheeks, rolled up his quilt and shrank inside.

He thought, what's wrong with me? It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good.

He forced himself to sleep, but suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Your Majesty."

His Majesty was Hongren before, and his majesty is LiXiao now.

Song song's ears immediately stood up and heard the man's low voice: "is he asleep?"

The voice was a little hoarse. I thought it was because I had been busy for several days. The first voice said, "the princess went to bed early."

Li Xiao is your majesty, but he is still a princess. How strange.

Song song just want to finish, listen to Li Xiao remind: "in the future to call queen."

The voice hastily agreed, "yes."

"Prepare water, I will take a bath."

Song song was very happy because of his correction. When he heard that he wanted to take a bath, he felt disappointed. It would take a long time for him to come and talk to him.

The sound of his footsteps came gently. Song song song immediately closed his eyes and heard the sound of Xie Xie Suo. His breath gradually sprayed on his cheek. Li Xiao gave him a kiss: "really asleep?"

Song song pretended not to hear.

With a light smile, the curtain of the bed was pulled up again, and the sound of men's footsteps went away.

Song song raised his hand and touched the place on his face where he had been kissed. His mind of complaining about his wife disappeared in an instant. He waited patiently for about half a column of incense. The man lay behind him with a faint smell of soap horn.

A pair of arms stretched out from the waist, forced him in his arms.

Song song's neck was swept gently by the breath, but he didn't restrain it. He just woke up, rubbed his eyes, turned around and hummed: "palace Your majesty is back

"You just know?"

Song song half opened his eyes to see him. Li Xiao closed his arms and kissed him on the lips. The kiss was gentle and unbridled. Song song song was gasping for breath and decided that Li Xiao or Li Xiao didn't want him because he was an emperor.

"You are so busy these days," he complained

"Songer must be considerate of me."

Maybe it was because he had been used to it in his dream. He changed it very smoothly. Song song song rubbed his head against him and said, "how did you come back to sleep today?"

"Come back and arrange things."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to move to the Palace tomorrow. You'll come with me."

Song song was stunned for a moment and said, "just leave this little matter to me. Why do you have to do it yourself..."

"It's not a small thing at home." Li Xiao pinched his soft cheek and said, "I don't have time to talk to song'er these two days. Today you look at me in the eyes, and you almost cry."

Song song blushed: "who I don't care about that. "

"What are you complaining about?"

"Who is complaining?" Song song looked angry and said, "I won't complain because you want to have a harem."

"You think so." Li Xiao took his hand and gave it a kiss on his lips. He said: "even if there is a harem, it must be song er's biggest. Well, don't be jealous."

"I didn't..." Song song can't help but get angry, but because of Li Xiao's identity, his anger is not so obvious: "who wants to be your Hougong boss?"

"So you want to be old and young?"

Song song suddenly looked at him with discontent in his eyes.

Li Xiao didn't coax him, he said: "do you have something to say?"

Song song lowered his eyelashes and said, "No

"That's why I really want to be a concubine?" Li Xiao deliberately said: "it seems that I have to marry another queen. Song Er Zhi is not here. Isn't there no one in charge of the harem?"

Song song didn't say a word, but his mouth flattened slowly: "it's none of my business. You are your majesty. Whoever you want to be the boss will be the boss. What qualification do I have to say?"

Li Xiao stares at his wet eyelashes, slowly raises his hand and pokes it on his face. His soft hand feels very good, just like his clever, submissive good temper.

Mingming is like a little hedgehog when dealing with outsiders, but in his arms, he suddenly turns into a small dough, which seems to be tempting people to rub him flat and round.

Li Xiao suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Song song looked up at him and shrunk his head.

In fact, he understood that Li Xiao didn't like him to put his posture too low. He seemed to think that he didn't like him enough because he didn't do what he said. In fact, on the contrary, song song song's attitude towards outsiders is that he doesn't care what others think of him. He cares too much about Li Xiao, so he can't help but lower his attitude and even dare not say too much.Li Xiao said in a low voice: "what a pity."

That language seems to spoil, song song song was wronged on the spot: "I'm not poor."

"I don't even dare to say a word of truth. I don't want to hurt him any more."

"I..."

"For the last time, do you want to be the eldest or the youngest?"

“……” Song song looked at him for a while, blinked his red eyes, and bravely said, "I want to be the only one."

Li Xiao looked at him for a while.

Song song hung his head down again. He held his clothes tightly with his fingers, but his breath stopped. Until Li Xiao forced him to kiss him again. With forbearance and restraint, he seemed to be suppressing the emotion of nowhere to vent. He said gently: "all depend on Song er."

"As long as you are willing to speak, I will do everything for you."
