Tang Dynasty: Father, if you don't rebel, I will!

"Waaaaah..."

A loud baby's cry echoed from the palace of Hou Qianya, the concubine of the Crown Prince, at noon on the last day of the tenth month of the seventh year of Zhenguan.

Immediately afterwards, a palace maid rushed out from inside, her face beaming with joy.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's a grandson! Consort Hou has given birth to a grandson!"

outside the temple.

Although Hou Junji had secretly consulted a physician to take his pulse and learned the result early on, he still couldn't help but burst into laughter when the palace maid revealed the truth in public. He raised his hands and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

Li Chengqian glanced at the old man, but said nothing. With the same joyful smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "Rewards! Everyone in the palace today will be rewarded!"

There was a joyful atmosphere outside the palace, and even Empress Zhangsun had a satisfied smile on her face.

"Father, Father, I want to see my brother, I want to see my brother..." Yue Niao Li Leya cried out, causing the Crown Prince Xiangyu Li Yutong, who was standing to the side, to pout.

"I'm here!"

Li Leya glanced at him and quickly looked away.

This deeply hurt Li Yutong, who involuntarily rushed towards his mother, Qian Yingying, crying out, "Waaah, Mother!"

Crown Princess Qian Yingying looked helpless and glared at her husband, who loved to tease children.

If it weren't for this wicked person's harsh words yesterday, saying that once the younger brother is born, all of Li Yutong's beautiful clothes and toys would be given to him, would Li Yutong, this carefree, mud-doll who runs around like a madman, have become like this?

What troubled Qian Yingying even more was that her son had several unreliable uncles...

"Oh dear! Little Xiangyu, there's nothing we can do about it. It seems that the little pony that your royal uncle promised you will have to be left to your younger brother."

"Wow!!!"

No sooner had Li Zhi’s gloating voice fallen than a loud cry echoed from outside the hall.

Qian Yingying was even more helpless.

Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun was there.

It was as if a blur flashed by her hand, and then a jade-like hand was already twisting the ear of Prince Li Zhi of Jin.

"How dare you call yourself Xiangyu's royal uncle? Look at yourself now, do you even look like a royal uncle?!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts! Mother, Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong... I learned all of this from my elder brother!" Li Zhi cried out in pain, while trying to shift the blame to someone else.

However, Li Chengqian smiled dismissively and waved to Xiao Xiangyu, who was crying sadly in the arms of the Crown Princess.

"Xiangyu, come here to your father. These are just some toys you're tired of playing with. You can give them to your little brother. Your father will give you a golden eagle!"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Yutong, who had been crying in his mother's arms, suddenly raised his little head, which was still full of grievances and sobbing.

He looked at his father, who always liked to tease him, with an expression of both anticipation and disbelief.

Li Chengqian whistled, and suddenly a sharp, piercing whistle came from the sky.

A dark shadow swept over everyone's heads and landed beside Li Chengqian the next moment.

His stature when standing was comparable to that of Li Chengqian, an adult male.

And sure enough, the golden eagle appeared.

The sadness he felt earlier was instantly swept away by Li Yutong, and he transformed back into the excited, hyperactive mud monkey he had been before, struggling in his mother's arms, wanting to find Li Chengqian.

Li Zhi's eyes widened, and he cursed inwardly at how easily the kid was bribed.

While everyone waited for the palace servants and physicians to tidy up the bedchamber, Li Yutong, both excited and fearful, carefully stroked the huge thing in front of him that he had to look up to see its head.

"Father, Father, I'm not crying because you're giving away my toys. I'm just crying because I'm going to be a big brother now and can't play around like I used to..."

This kid is incredibly smart from a young age, and he learns to speak much faster than most people.

Now, she was sobbing, held in her father's arms, looking pitiful.

With one small hand on each side, as if afraid the other would run away at any moment, they tightly gripped a tuft of feathers on the golden eagle's neck.

As she spoke, her lips trembled with grievance again, and the side of her face that was pressed against Li Chengqian's began to tremble as well, and she was about to cry again.

But Empress Zhangsun was heartbroken to see this.

Li Chengqian and his brothers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, our little Xiangyu already understands the importance of being an elder brother."

"Look at how pitiful he is crying. Oh dear, if Xiao Xiangyu really doesn't want to be the older brother, we can discuss it. Let the newborn brother inside be the older brother, and you can play however you want from now on~" Li Tai said, and then Empress Zhangsun hit him on the back of the head.

Teasing by his uncles, Xiao Xiangyu's cries became even more aggrieved.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu royal grandmother~"

In an instant, laughter mingled with crying outside the hall, creating quite a lively scene.

As the female physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau emerged from the hall, Li Chengqian stepped into the hall.

Hou Qianya's delivery was quite smooth, perhaps due to her years of martial arts training, and there was hardly any noise. When Li Chengqian entered the hall, he could even see her energetically playing with the baby who had just been cleaned.

Upon seeing Li Chengqian walk in, Hou Qianya's cheeks, already flushed, revealed a blissful expression.

"Your Highness, look! Our child..."

Li Chengqian approached and sat down. On the bed, the little one in swaddling clothes was all wrinkled and his eyes were still closed.

However, the little hands were quite interesting, constantly making grasping motions as if they were about to grab something.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh. He rubbed his waist and suddenly took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant, handing it to the little guy's hand.

The latter immediately grabbed it, and then... its free hand opened and grasped even faster.

It's like urging someone on.

"Hahaha, what a greedy little rascal!"

Unfortunately, he doesn't like to neglect accessories or anything like that, and right now he can't find anything on him that he can give the little guy as a "birthday present".

Upon seeing this, Chang Le, who had followed her in, immediately took off the jade pendant from her waist.

Hou Qianya was about to politely decline when the little guy acted quite quickly.

Even though her eyes were closed, she grabbed the jade pendant just as it was about to reach her small hand and wouldn't let go.

"Hahaha, that's great! Let's call him Pi Nu as his nickname!"

Pi Nu?

Upon hearing this as he entered the hall, Li Zhi's lips twitched. This childhood name sounded like that of someone of his generation.

Afterwards, all the princes and nobles came to see the newborn imperial nephew, and even the concubines in the palace sent gifts.

Even now, the retired emperor is still full of energy and vigor. In the Hexi Corridor, he either watches Persian women dance or leads his soldiers in drills.

Emperor Zhenguan was also in his prime in Chengdu.

Now, the descendants of the fourth generation of emperors have begun to multiply.

When the officials received this news, they couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

Dengzhou.

Gongsun Wuda and Liu Rengui looked at the news coming from Chang'an, their eyes shining.

"The Crown Prince has had another son. We are unable to travel to Chang'an to offer our congratulations, so we will conquer Japan for His Highness as a gift!"

Beside him, Cheng Chuliang, who had just finished all the interrogations and questioning a while ago, was breathing heavily through his nostrils when he slammed his fist on the table.

"You lowly Japanese scum, you've caused me so much trouble! This time, I, the general, will personally behead that Japanese king and that traitorous leader of the Soga no Emishi tribe! Only then can I vent my hatred!!!"
