Xiao Hong thought to himself: This can also be. It's so arrogant. Don't ruin the reputation of the widow.

"You can't always come to the widow. If you continue here, someone will gossip. Linchuan Wang Xiao Hong said in a low voice.

"Are you tired of playing with me? So, want to kick me off? Xiao Yuyao scolded.

"Not really. The widow just likes you. However, after all, the widow is a famous person of the Liang State. You have to take care of your face, too. Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, said angrily.

"Really? Why don't you say it when you and I enjoy the bed? Now, you think I'm bored. That's it. Unexpectedly, uncle, you are such a person! Xiao Yuyao scolded.

Besides, the Liang court.

Dong Shuyi stayed in the palace for nearly a year, and she found that Xiao Yan still liked to go to Ding Guifei very much. She thought to herself: Your Majesty, do you like Ding Guifei or her son?

Dong Shuyi asked her maid Xiaofang, "What kind of person do you think Your Majesty is?" ”

"Your Majesty is a benevolent man. He was humble and polite to the palace maids and eunuchs. The slave didn't even think that His Majesty was like an emperor. His Majesty is like an old master of Confucius. He was a man of persuasion. Xiaofang said.

"Yes. His Majesty is different from most emperors. He was an emperor who loved his people like a son. It's a blessing to be His Majesty's concubine. Dong Shuyi said.

". The slave maid thinks the same. Your Majesty has always been for the people. As an emperor, it is not easy to be neither arrogant nor rash, Corporal Lixian. Xiaofang said.

Suddenly, the eunuch Xiao Yunzi walked over.

After he saw Dong Shuyi, he whispered: "Shuyi Niangniang." The minions have already arranged for you. Your Majesty will definitely be able to turn over your sign. ”

"Thank you, then, sir." Dong Shuyi took out a piece of gold and gave it to the eunuch Xiao Yunzi in front of her.

However, it wasn't until it got dark.

Xiao Yan also did not go to Dong Shuyi's palace.

So, where did Xiao Yan go?

He was at Ding Guifei's.

At this time, Xiao Yan was anxiously waiting for news outside the delivery room.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan heard a cry.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ding gave birth to another prince." The eunuch Xiao Yunzi came out of the house and said.

"Really? I have a prince again. That's great. That's great. Xiao Yan cheered.

Ding Guifei heard Xiao Yan's laughter in the room, and she thought to herself: It seems that Your Majesty likes her son very much. It seems that in the future, the status of the concubines in the Liang State will be as solid as a rock.

In the third year of the Heavenly Prison of the Liang Kingdom, in 504 AD, Ding Guifei gave birth to Xiao Yan's fourth son again.

Xiao Yan saw the infant prince, who was tiger-headed, and said to Ding Guifei: "Love concubine." You've worked hard. Who gave birth to me a son? ”

Ding Guifei thought to herself: Oh no, she gave birth to another son. Now, this palace has become the target of the harem. It's a crisis.

"Nope. It is the duty of a concubine to give birth to children for His Majesty. How can it be said that it is hard? By the way, Your Majesty, you haven't named the prince yet. Ding Guifei said modestly.

"I've already figured it out. Let's call it Xiao Xu. Let's continue to continue in the world. Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction.

That night, Dong Shuyi asked the eunuch Xiao Yunzi: "My lord, why didn't Your Majesty come to the palace tonight?" ”

". You don't know. Today, Ding Guifei gave birth to a prince. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi whispered.

"The Prince? Ding Guifei Niangniang has a prince again? Dong Shuyi said unexpectedly.

She thought to herself: If only I could give birth to a prince for His Majesty. I must suppress Concubine Ding.

A few days later, Ding Guifei hugged her prince Xiao Xu and thought: Now, there are three sons in this palace.

"Mother, you are really very blessed. There are actually three princes. The maid Xiaoding said.

She thought to herself: Now Niangniang is the most favored concubine in Liang Kingdom.

The next day, Xiao Yan went to Dong Shuyi.

"Your Majesty, now Sister Ding Guifei has just given birth. She was in dire need of company. So, Your Majesty, you better spend more time with her. Dong Shuyi pretended to be polite.

"You can be so empathetic. I am very pleased. However, since I have come to you today, there is no reason to go back. So, I'm spending the night with you tonight. I hope you don't chase me away again. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Dong Shuyi smiled: "Okay." ”

She thought to herself: Your Majesty is indeed a suave son of heaven. You can't hope that he only has you in his heart. If the Son of Heaven has you in his heart, it will be good.

Besides, on the Wei side, Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke summoned Xiao Baoyin, the king of Qi, again.

After Xiao Baoyin met Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke, he found that the emperor was full of spirit.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

"Nothing. I just hope that you can lead the troops to destroy Xiao Yan. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said lightly.

Xiao Baoyin suddenly jumped up with joy as if he had received a treasure.

He couldn't help but shout, "Really? Your Majesty isn't joking with Weichen, right? ”

"Nope. I hope you can lead your troops south and destroy the Liang Kingdom. Occupy the Liang State, and you will be the emperor of the Qi State. Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Xiao Baoyin is familiar with the terrain of Jiangnan, and he will definitely be able to defeat Xiao Yan.

"Really? Didn't Your Majesty already make a promise to the children of the Liang Kingdom? When Xiao Yan is defeated, will the clan of the Liang State be the emperor? Xiao Baoyin asked.

"That's all expediency. If you don't say that, how can you plot against the clans and people of the Liang Kingdom? When the Liang State is destroyed, there is no need to make promises. Besides, I didn't sign any documents with the Liang clan. I can completely deny it. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said proudly.

"Your Majesty, in this way, isn't it dishonest to the scholars in Jiangnan?" Xiao Baoyin asked.

"Dishonesty? Funny? Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke asked.

Xiao Baoyin thought to himself: If so, I will destroy the Liang Kingdom. Will Your Majesty kill me?

I have to guard against it. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. I also need to leave a way back for myself!

"It's not. Weichen just felt that he couldn't lose his trust with the scholars of the Southern Dynasty. If the promise is not kept. It is easy to cause instability in the south. Xiao Baoyin explained.

"The scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as they surrender to our Wei State. I can give him an official and a knight. and even let them pay homage to the prime minister. Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Only by trying his best to win over the scholars in Jiangnan can he get the Liang State. Otherwise, if the scholars try their best to resist, they will definitely make the Wei State suffer heavy losses.

Xiao Baoyin thought to himself: Your Majesty now wants to conquer Jiangnan, so you can promise many preferential conditions. However, if His Majesty annexed Jiangnan. Our Jiangnan clan doesn't have any privileges.

What to do? I hope that the state of Qi will be restored. However, he did not want Qi to become a puppet regime of Wei.
