Chapter 311 The Fifth Generation of the Li Family

Li Xiang's words were not empty promises, after all, he really intended to make use of this team.

Even if he is of no great use, at least he can be treated as a confidant and sent out to monitor the local area.

Officials who inspect local areas must have a strong background and be trusted enough, and these young people perfectly meet Li Xiang's requirements.

First of all, the fathers of these people are basically dukes, and secondly, they have been following Li Xiang since he was the Prince of Tianshui.

For example, if there is a small problem in the local area, it would be a good idea to send them out to check it out.

After the welcoming banquet, Li Xiang politely declined his brothers' invitation to go to Pingkangfang for some fun and chose to return to the palace.

Are you kidding? I have a silly girl waiting for me at home, why should I go out with you guys?

The "silly girl" in Li Xiang's mind naturally refers to Feng Yingying.

This woman is a bit stupid, she has no brains at all, and she often comes up with some shocking remarks. If she is not stupid, who is?
Fortunately, Pei Xueqing had long been accustomed to Feng Yingying's stupidity, and even liked this kind of stupidity.

It must be said that sometimes Pei Xueqing dotes on Feng Yingying even more than he does on Li Xiang.

Just pet her!
However, what Li Xiang did not expect was that when he returned to Wude Hall, Feng Yingying had forgotten the noon appointment and had fallen asleep.

He talked with Pei Xueqing for a while, then tiptoed to Feng Yingying's bedside.

"My beloved?" He reached out and pinched Feng Yingying's nose.

You know what, it feels pretty good.

Nowadays, women’s noses can be pinched and they will be 100% original and will not be deformed at all.

This is also the reason why he dared to take action, unlike Schrödinger's nose in later generations.

She says she hasn't had any plastic surgery, but you can't tell whether she has had any until you pinch her.

But Feng Yingying gave Li Xiang a second surprise. When she was pinched for the second time, Feng Yingying suddenly woke up, turned over, and pressed Li Xiang under the bed neatly.

After seeing clearly that it was Li Xiang, Feng Yingying smiled embarrassedly.

"Hey, it's the elephant."

"You did it on purpose." Li Xiang saw her unnatural smile and immediately exposed her.

"No, it's not." Feng Yingying waved her hands quickly: "I was just sleepy and didn't realize it was you. I thought it was some bad guy..."

"Bah, who else could be a bad guy in the palace besides me?" Li Xiang squinted at Feng Yingying.

After I said that, I felt something was wrong. How did I become a bad guy?
"Haha, you think you are a bad guy too." Feng Yingying still maintained the posture of riding on Li Xiang. She smiled and reached out to scratch Li Xiang's body, then leaned over and sucked hard on his earlobe.

Li Xiang asked with a smile: "Who did you learn this mosquito-like trick from?"

"It was Sister Pei who taught me. She said you would be very happy if she kissed your earlobe..." Feng Yingying said innocently.

Li Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Do you think you are kissing me? You are clearly sucking me, and you are sucking me as hard as you can..."

"Oh." Feng Yingying said obediently, "Then what should I do? Can you demonstrate it again?"

"I'll let your sister Pei demonstrate it later," Li Xiang rolled his eyes, and then said, "Let's get down to business first."

"What's the matter... um..."

……

Time flies, and it is the end of December in the blink of an eye.

The 20th year of Zhenguan is about to arrive, and Li Xiang is about to welcome his first child.

On December 17th, Li Xiang was handling affairs in Jingzhao Prefecture as usual, when he suddenly heard someone from the palace coming with an urgent report that Pei Xueqing was about to give birth.

Upon hearing the news, Li Xiang immediately handed the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture to Di Renjie and Luo Binwang, and hurried to the palace with Fubao.

While in the car, Li Xiang was still feeling very nervous.

Please be safe...Please be safe...

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The Crown Princess is a lucky person and will be safe." Fu Bao comforted from the side.

Li Xiang took a deep breath, still feeling uneasy.

He thought of his mother whom he had never met, who died of childbirth complications, and also thought of his aunt Xiangcheng's biological mother.

Someone like me feels a little regretful now. Why couldn't I control Li Xiaoxiang at that time?

He ran back to the Wude Hall nervously. Seeing Li Shimin and Li Chengqian standing in the main hall pacing anxiously, Li Xiang hurried forward, grabbed Li Shimin's hand and asked, "Aunt, Aunt, how is my sister?"

"It's okay. It just started not long ago. Don't worry, Xiang'er." Li Shimin rubbed his shoulder with his other hand and comforted him.

Li Xiang stretched his head to look inside the hall and was about to go in, but was stopped by someone.

"Your Highness, the delivery room is a filthy place. Do not enter it."

"My wife..." Li Xiang was about to say something when he was pulled back by Li Shimin.

"Xiang'er, just stay here and don't add unnecessary pressure to others." Li Shimin consoled him, "I know you are anxious, but don't get excited yet."

"Am I excited?" Li Xiang asked back.

Li Shimin looked down at his hand which was somewhat deformed by Li Xiang's grip. Only then did Li Xiang notice that the force in his hand was a bit too strong.

"Haha..." Li Xiang laughed dryly and let go of Li Shimin's hand. Old Li shook his hands, obviously not intending to argue with Li Xiaoxiang.

Hey, caring too much will cause confusion.

But Li Xiang didn't have to wait long. Before he could take a few steps, he saw the midwife coming out happily with the child in her arms.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. The Crown Princess has given birth to a daughter. Both mother and daughter are safe."

"Ah?" Li Xiang let out a dazed cry before he could react.

It's no wonder that he was so stupid. It was really the TV series that caused him so much trouble. He had been worried for a long time and never expected that it would be so smooth.

Everything going smoothly is a good thing, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin walked forward and looked at his great-granddaughter.

After all, they are his great-grandchildren, and this is the first time that they have experienced four generations living under the same roof. It would be a lie for Mr. Li to say that he is not happy.

"Reward, each of you will be rewarded 50 strings of cash!" Li Shimin smiled and stretched out his hand to tease his great-granddaughter, and then said: "Pass it on, I am so happy to have a great-grandson, I will grant amnesty to the whole country, and make my great-granddaughter the Princess of Yan State!"

"Thank you, Grandfather." Li Xiang said happily, and then said: "Grandfather, Aye, I'll go to the house first--"

"Go, go." Li Shimin said without raising his head, which was obviously a sign of being fickle.

Li Chengqian also came forward, with no intention of taking care of Li Xiang. Instead, he showed great interest in this brand new granddaughter.

"Just go by yourself, why ask us?"

Li Tai and Li Zhi also gathered around, teasing the child in the midwife's arms. "Call me uncle, hehehe."

Li Xiang: …

Forget it, I won’t bother with them.

As soon as he entered Pei Xueqing's room, Sun Simiao walked into the Wude Hall.

"Master Sun came a little late. It's already over. The Crown Princess has given birth to a daughter for my Li family." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"That's great." Sun Simiao waved his whisk with a smile and said to Li Shimin, "Since the mother and daughter are safe, I will go into the room later to check the pulse of the Crown Princess."

"Thank you, Master." Li Shimin was obviously in a good mood, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

When Li Xiang entered the palace, the old women and palace maids were cleaning the room.

Seeing Li Xiang approaching the bed, Pei Xueqing tilted her head and said weakly, "Why did Xianger come in?"

"I came to see you." Li Xiang said gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

"By the way," seeing Pei Xueqing was a little depressed, Li Xiang said gently, "Grandfather was very happy and ordered that our daughter be named Princess of Yan."

"Really?" Pei Xueqing looked up and asked.

"Of course I take it seriously." Li Xiang reached out and brushed away the wet hair on Pei Xueqing's forehead. "After all, I am the first of the great-grandchildren, and I am also our grandfather's favorite grandchild. How could he not like our daughter?"

"Have you thought of a name?" Pei Xueqing asked with a smile.

Li Xiang's expression was somewhat helpless: "Do you think it's my turn to name someone? Look outside the door, there's an old man, an old man, two uncles, it's not our turn to name someone."

"Yes." Pei Xueqing blinked, and then said: "Then you have to give it a nickname, what should you call it?"

"Well, let's call her Doudou." Li Xiang said with a smile, "I think Doudou is a good name."

This name was not chosen randomly. His sister in his previous life was nicknamed Doudou.

"Okay, I like this name." Pei Xueqing's voice was soft: "Then Yi Xiang'er, she will be called Doudou from now on."

She had no intention of objecting. Li Xiang liked her as long as he liked her.

After chatting for a few more words, Baoqin came in and said to Li Xiang: "Your Highness, Master Sun is here."

Li Xiang stood up and said, "Well, I will go out and ask Master Sun to come in and check your pulse and regulate your body."

"Okay." Pei Xueqing responded softly.

When Li Xiang walked out, his daughter was just brought in.

Seeing the three brothers Li Chengqian stretching their necks and peering into Doudou, it was obvious that they were not satisfied yet.

But it is understandable. After all, he is the first grandchild of the three brothers, so it is understandable that they don’t care about him enough.

"That's enough!" Li Shimin kicked them one by one and said, "Just look at it for a while. The baby has just been born and needs to rest for a while, otherwise it will be bad for the body."

After saying that, he turned around and saw Li Xiang coming over. Li Shimin laughed and said, "Xiang'er is coming over?"

"I've already come out." Li Xiang rolled his eyes. "My sister and I have already decided on a nickname, Doudou. As for the full name, I'll have to trouble my grandfather."

Seeing Li Xiang being so sensible, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"No trouble, no trouble." Old Li looked at Li Xiang approvingly. Otherwise, this kid is so likable and he is obviously a potential for improvement.

He thought about it for a while, but felt it was inappropriate, so he said to Li Xiang: "I will think about it carefully when I get back and come up with a name that suits Doudou."

Li Xiang replied with a smile: "There is no rush... Ouch"

He felt a roll of paper hit him on the head. Looking in the direction of the blow, he saw his aunt Li Mingda.

"Eh? Aunt, when did you come?" Li Xiang asked belatedly.

Li Mingda snorted, "I have been accompanying Xueqing in the room just now. You are such a heartless little thing. When you entered the room, you only had your elder sister in your eyes and didn't notice your three busy aunts at all!"

"Yes, this little elephant." Li Su also chimed in: "It is true that after marrying a wife, he forgets his mother. Although we are not the mother, the aunt is also half a mother, isn't she?"

Li Lizhi didn't say anything, but from her expression, it was obvious that she supported her two younger sisters.

Li Xiang hurriedly bowed to the three aunts to express his apology: "I'm sorry, aunts, I really didn't pay attention just now..."

Seeing Li Xiang's good attitude, Li Lizhi took the lead and said, "Okay, Shu'er, Sizi, the two of you should stop making things difficult for Xiang'er. He also cares deeply about Xueqing."

"Alas," Li Mingda waved his whisk and said with a complicated look, "I never expected that I would become an aunt at the age of seventeen..."

"Yeah, I'm only twenty years old." Li Shu looked up at the sky, rolled his eyes and said, "Really... a super seniority..."

"Is there anything wrong with adding a generational title?" Li Zhi didn't quite understand the sisters' thinking: "I think it's a great sense of accomplishment to become a grandfather at such a young age."

The three women looked at him and said nothing.

But the look in his eyes clearly shows that he doesn't want to argue with a young boy like you.

"Here." Li Mingda looked back and saw Luluo holding up a set of small clothes. "These clothes and hats were knitted for the child by me and your aunts. They are all made of the latest cotton yarn. I heard you say that wool products are not suitable for young children, so I knitted a set for the child."

Li Shimin also found it novel, so he came up to take a look, then pointed at the diaper and asked, "Who knitted this diaper?"

"It's Sister Xiangcheng." Li Mingda replied with a faint smile.

"Xiangcheng is indeed meticulous." Li Shimin praised.

Li Xiang looked around but couldn't find Li Chengqian, so he asked, "Aunt, where is my father?"

"Your father?" Li Shimin realized at this time that Li Chengqian was not here, so he also asked: "Where is the prince? Where is the prince?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince just took the King of Wei and the King of Jin out. He said they were going to the East Palace to get drunk." Wang De replied.

Li Shimin, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's rapid escape, immediately turned his anger into joy after hearing the reason for Li Chengqian's departure: "We should celebrate well, after all, we just had a granddaughter."

At last, Old Li snorted: "He didn't even invite me, his father, to celebrate. Li Gaoming is really unfilial!"

Li Xiang: …

Good man, I suspect you are making up an excuse, but I have no evidence.

"How about you hold a family banquet in Liangyi Hall tonight to celebrate?" Li Lizhi suggested considerately, "Invite the royal family members and important officials in Beijing to celebrate the birth of your great-granddaughter."

"Good, good!" Li Shimin said two good words in a row.

After all, she is my own daughter, she is such a caring and sweet girl.

This is a really good suggestion. When we have a great-granddaughter, we must share the joy with our brothers and family members.

Well... Old Li would never say that he learned this from Cheng Yaojin.
