After dinner, Xie Zhou held his son and played with him on the couch.
The baby is only three months old and can't crawl or roll over yet, but he is still very cute.
Huan Yue also sat to one side.
The children just look at their mothers, look at their mothers.
He was especially happy when Huan Yue picked him up.
Xie Zhou picked up his son and said, "Isn't Daddy nice? Daddy has something fun here."
The little boy looked at his father with bright eyes. Although his father was good, his mother was even better.
The baby puts his little hand in his mouth and is happy to see his mother.
Xie Zhou kissed his son and continued reciting poetry to him.
Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return?
Have you not seen the sorrowful sight of white hair reflected in the mirror by the bedside, like blue clouds in the morning turning to snow by evening?
Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful; don't let your golden goblet stand empty before the moon.
My disciples are born with exceptional talent; though a thousand pieces of gold are spent, they will return again.
Let us feast on roasted lamb and slaughtered oxen, and drink three hundred cups of wine in one go.
Master Cen, Master Danqiu, let me sing you a song, please sing it for me.
Bells, drums, jade, and silk are not worth much; I only wish to be drunk forever and never wake up.
All the wise and virtuous men of the past have died, only the drinkers have left their mark.
Prince Chen once held a banquet at Ping Le, where he drank ten thousand cups of wine and indulged in merriment.
Why does the host say he has little money? Just buy some wine and we'll drink together.
A dappled horse, a thousand pieces of gold, call the boy to exchange them for fine wine, to dispel with you our eternal sorrows.
Huan Yue looked up and asked the little boy, "Do you want to drink too?"
Xie Zhou asked his son, "Do you want to turn over?"
Little kid, look at Daddy, Daddy flips over first?
No big deal. Xie Zhou demonstrated rolling over and sitting up for his son on the couch.
The child was overjoyed, saying, "Daddy is so amazing!"
Huan Yue picked him up, saying, "Father will eat anything except his own toes."
The child doesn't want to eat, but can't resist, saying, "Mommy's so delicious!"
Huan Yue carried him to feed him, and after tidying him up, it was time for him to sleep.
Xie Zhou waited to change his son's diaper. He slept quite cleanly at night.
The eunuch came over, peeked out and saw the young prince, and reported to His Highness: "Old Madam Guo was determined to depose the Crown Princess, and in her anger she died. Emperor Bai Xianzong said he would burn the Crown Princess alive, and he ran headfirst into a pillar and died."
Huan Yue came over to see His Highness. What was the situation?
Xie Zhou held her in his arms; the spring night was still cold.
Even if the Bai family threatens to kill themselves, even if the Bai family is wiped out, it might not work.
However, Xie Zhou went to see his father, the Emperor, to see if there were any things that would put his father in a difficult position.
Huan Yue didn't care anymore; she wanted to put her son to sleep. Those who threatened suicide should all die and be buried together.
The palace maid said to the empress, "The Bai family means not the empress, but the empress."
Huan Yue said, "Nonsense."
The palace maids fell silent. The Empress had brought up the Emperor. If the Bai family wanted to establish an Empress, wouldn't they be even more outrageous?
So, if they think the Empress is easy to bully, they all come to the Empress's palace to vent their anger. What kind of logic is that?
Bullying the Crown Prince → How can the Crown Prince help the Bai family achieve their goal of having a mother-in-law?
Having a mother-in-law who isn't your own is worse than death, so it's better to just take down the Bai family directly. Isn't it all because of the Bai family that we're forced into this situation?
How much benefit will having another mother-in-law bring, or do you feel that things aren't good enough as they are now?
Huan Yue held the child as he fell asleep.
A child is perfectly safe sleeping in their mother's arms.
Lady Yang stayed by the side for a while, and only left when Her Highness returned.
Huan Yue watched as His Highness got into bed and asked, "You're back so quickly?"
Xie Zhou said, "A group of people were kneeling before the Emperor, demanding that the Crown Princess be deposed. The Emperor ordered them all to kneel outside Yingtian Gate, and to stand up whenever they felt like it."
Huan Yue asked, "Didn't you kneel before Empress Wenming's tomb?"
Xie Zhou coldly replied, "They are not worthy. They knelt outside Yingtian Gate because they were disrespectful."
It wasn't appropriate not to make them kneel at Jiafu Gate. Yingtian Gate is the legitimate gate.
Huan Yue didn't mind; he just wanted to make sure it didn't disturb her sleep.
Xie Zhou said, "The Bai family has the shadow of the Great Stone Kingdom. The Bai family is too big."
Over so many generations, some things have gone wrong, but the Bai family has been very prosperous. With so many people, who knows what kind of trouble has gotten into them.
They all come down to the Bai family. The current patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Yi, doesn't quite have enough control over them yet.
It's like when the emperor couldn't control the King of Wu.
When a family grows large, some branches become stronger than others, and the direct line may be less powerful than the collateral branches. The direct line refers to bloodline, while collateral branches can unite to suppress the direct line for their own benefit.
The natural opposition between legitimate and illegitimate children requires the legitimate line to undergo these tests, but not everyone can pass them.
Perhaps only the direct descendants consider the interests of the entire family, or even the direct descendants don't consider them at all. A family that seems prosperous is not far from its destruction.
Huan Yue said, "The Bai family has not produced a single outstanding individual who has brought about the family's revival."
Xie Zhou coaxed her to sleep, saying, "No need."
What is the Bai family doing with all this hustle and bustle?
Empress Wenming is a daughter-in-law of the Xie family, so as long as the Xie family prospers, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if the Bai family completely collapses.
No one should lay a finger on the Xie family, or they will soon be overthrown.
Huan Yue was sleeping. He was living a quiet life with his son.
Even if he is the grandson of the emperor, he is still a child now, and he is growing taller while sleeping.
midnight.
Xie Zhou woke up on time and held his son while he urinated.
The little boy glanced at his father, half-asleep, and felt relieved.
Xie Zhou felt it was all worth it! His son was so well-behaved. From now on, Dad will take care of all these things.
Huan Yue sat in a chair and fed his son.
The child glanced at his mother and slept soundly.
Xie Zhou observed that if this child had been raised by a wet nurse, it would be different.
He was raised by a wet nurse, and his mother was in poor health. To say there was no difference? There definitely was.
Fortunately, Xie Zhou was not lacking in love. The Di family raised him very well, and his father, the emperor, did not completely neglect him.
How arrogant was Lady Dong back then? How favored was Lady Cui? The Emperor had just ascended the throne and was busy, but he didn't neglect her.
As far back as he can remember, his father always saw him as a potential heir.
Therefore, Xie Zhou should be filial to his father, so that his son would be filial to him in the future.
Early in the morning.
Xie Zhou got up to prepare for court, but the Bai family, having lost several members, still hadn't stopped attending court.
An imperial messenger arrived with an imperial decree: "The Emperor wishes to see his grandson, saying he dreamt of him last night."
Xie Zhou was speechless; his son was still asleep.
The imperial envoy waited patiently to the side; there was no rush.
Everyone felt that the emperor missed his grandson if he didn't see him for a while.
Huan Yue got up, tidied up the child, and instead of going over, she had Yang take the child over.
Taking it for a spin and then coming back won't take too much time.
Xie Zhou held his son in his arms before dawn.
The little one is still asleep. Look at Dad, what are you going to do?
Xie Zhou looked at his son, wondering if he was dreaming and randomly pulling on his grandfather.
The child remained silent; he was being filial to his grandfather, after all, his mother had said that his grandfather protected them.
Xie Zhou, carrying his son, stopped walking in front and instead went to the back, all the way to the Zichen Palace.
Finally seeing his eldest grandson, he instructed his son, "You stay here with him. If he wants to go back, take him back with you."
Bringing my eldest grandson to court isn't allowed right now; it would disturb him. Wait, don't rush. When he's a little older, I'll take him with me every day.
Xie Zhou pondered, "My son's almost useless. If the Emperor lets his eldest grandson review memorials from now on, can he go back to be with his wife?"
The child closed his eyes and continued sleeping.
I'm in a good mood right now, so I let a bunch of people run around and jump around as long as my grandson isn't watching.
