Chapter 249: Named Sujie

"Your son thanks your father for his grace on behalf of Xiao Yu! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!" Li Chengqian said.

"Go!" Li Er said.

"Yes!" Li Chengqian took the order and left.

After Li Chengqian left, Li Er ordered people to get up early and issue an imperial edict to allow Xiao Yu to stay in Chang'an.

Xiao Yu returned to the mansion and went to visit his sister, the former Empress Xiao. Although the prince promised to intercede for him, he didn't know whether Li Er would agree.

Therefore, Xiao Yu made preparations for both situations. He continued to order people to pack up, but he was not in a hurry to leave Chang'an. He wanted to wait for someone from the East Palace.

Regardless of success or failure, the East Palace would send him back a message. If the prince succeeded, he would stay, and if he failed, he would leave directly.

After he met Empress Xiao, Empress Xiao held his hand, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. This time her brother was banished to Shangzhou, and she didn't know if they would see each other again. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became

. Empress Xiao reached out and gently stroked Xiao Yu's cheek, and finally looked at him carefully.

Xiao Yu wanted to tell his sister that the prince was willing to plead for him, but she was afraid that the prince would fail and her sister would be disappointed. Just as the siblings were saying goodbye, someone from the East Palace came! "My Lord! Someone from the East Palace wants to see you!" The servant came to Xiao Yu and reported. Xiao Yu said, "I know! Sister, I'll go take a look and be back soon!" "Go! I'll wait for you here!" said Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Yu followed the servants to the living room, and saw Wang Quan, who had sent him back, had gone and returned! Wang Quan saw Xiao Yu coming, and hurriedly stood up to greet him. He had just returned to the East Palace when he met the prince who had returned, and asked him to run to Xiao Yu's house to pass on a message, so he returned without stopping. "Meet Duke Song!" Wang Quan saluted. "No need to be polite, Eunuch Wang! Eunuch Wang has gone and returned, but has His Majesty got any news?" Xiao Yu asked anxiously, for he was afraid that Wang Quan would bring him bad news. " Congratulations, Duke Song! His Majesty said that His Majesty has granted you permission to stay in Chang'an! I'm afraid you'll be anxious, so I was ordered to run again to support you. Maybe His Majesty's edict is on the way." Wang Quan smiled. Xiao Yu was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "Are you serious?" Now for Xiao Yu, the title is not important at all, as long as he can stay in Chang'an and accompany his sister and family, it doesn't matter even if he is demoted to a commoner. Anyway, Xiao Yu has been a powerful figure for decades, and has experienced six ups and downs in his life. He is no longer dissatisfied! Life without an official position is easy, and it is fun to plant flowers when old. "Absolutely true!" Wang Quan said. "Please ask Wang Neiguan to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf after you go back! Thank you for your help this time!" Xiao Yu bowed. Xiao Yu was grateful to Li Chengqian from the bottom of his heart. "I will pass on the message from the Duke of Song! The message has been delivered. I have to go back and report. I will not disturb the Duke of Song anymore! Goodbye!" Wang Quan said and was about to leave. " Housekeeper, please see Wang Neiguan off for me." Xiao Yu said to the housekeeper behind him. "Yes!" The housekeeper said to Wang Quan, "Wang Neiguan, please come in!" Wang Quan nodded to Xiao Yu and left the Xiao Mansion. Outside the mansion, the housekeeper quietly stuffed some money into Wang Quan's pocket as a thank you gift! Wang Quan was naturally beaming! This trip was not in vain. Not long after Wang Quan left, someone from the palace came to convey the imperial decree. In addition to removing all rights from Xiao Yu, he retained his title of Duke of Song and granted him the title of Jin Zi Guang Lu Doctor. This was Li Er's affirmation of Xiao Yu's contribution to the Tang Dynasty over the years. No longer having to go to Shangzhou, and being rewarded, naturally everyone was happy. Empress Xiao also ordered people to prepare a gift and send it to the East Palace to express gratitude for the help. At the same time, she also asked her brother Xiao Yu to go to the palace in person to thank Li Er! A ​​few months after the Xiao Yu incident, Chang'an was calm. A few months later, the East Palace was about to welcome a happy event. Xiao Liangdi was pregnant for ten months and was finally going to give birth! The prince was going to be a father again! It was also a big event for the entire Li Tang royal family. Only when the royal family was prosperous could the Tang Dynasty be forever stable. In the courtyard where Xiao Liangdi lived, the maids were coming in and out, preparing everything for the delivery. The midwife was also ready, and everyone was busy. Xiao Liangdi's shouting in the house reached Li Chengqian's ears through the closed door, and he was so anxious that he kept walking back and forth, rubbing his hands. This was his first child in the true sense. If it weren't for everyone blocking him, he would have wanted to rush in to take a look. "Your Highness, don't worry! Xiao Liangdi will definitely give birth to your son smoothly, your Highness, just rest assured!" said the Crown Princess. She didn't understand. When she gave birth to Li Jue, she didn't see Li Chengqian so concerned, and she felt a little unhappy. Li Zhi on the side was much calmer. As a father of several children, Li Zhi was also an experienced person. It was just giving birth to a child! What a big deal. "Ah!" Li Chengqian sighed. No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. He still had to wait. "The Crown Princess is right!" Li Chengqian had no choice but to sit down and wait quietly. After waiting for a long time, a loud baby cry was finally heard. Li Chengqian was overjoyed! With a creak, the door opened, and a palace maid ran over and announced the good news to Li Chengqian: "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! It's the little prince!" "Quickly wrap the little prince up and show it to Your Highness!" said the Crown Princess. "Yes!" The palace maid took the order and turned around to go back and pick up the child. Li Chengqian said, "No need! Let's go see Concubine Xiao first! She must have worked very hard to give birth to a son for me." If Li Chengqian hadn't had difficulty walking, he would have rushed into the house to see Concubine Xiao. As for his son, it wouldn't be too late to see him later, since he had a son anyway. Li Chengqian went into the house to visit Concubine Xiao, while the Crown Princess sent someone to the palace to report the good news to Li Er. He had a grandson, so she should report the good news to him as soon as possible. Moreover, the child's name still needed to be given by the emperor. "I report to you all! News has come from the East Palace that the Crown Prince's Concubine Xiao has given birth to a grandson for you! I, this old servant, would like to congratulate you all!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"Good! Concubine Xiao Liang gave birth to a child for our Li family, which is a great achievement. I will reward her well."

"Reward her with a pair of jade ruyi and a hundred pieces of silk." Li Er said with a smile.

"Everyone! The East Palace is waiting for you to give a name to the little grandson!" Wang Yuan said.

"Let me think about what name to give him!" Li Er pondered and finally wrote the child's name on a piece of paper.

Li Er folded the paper with the name written on it and handed it to Wang Yuan, saying: "Send this and my reward to the East Palace together."

"Yes!" Wang Yuan took the order and left.

Li Er was overjoyed when he learned about it, and immediately announced to the world that the royal family had added another child, and named the newborn grandson Sujie.
