His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

The eldest princess, who had been married for seven years, gave birth to her eldest daughter in late autumn.

There hasn't been such good news in the royal family for a long time.No one thinks about it on weekdays, but since the death of the prince—it seems that no matter whether it is marriage or marriage, there has been no new addition to the royal family in the past two years.

The arrival of a new baby brings a happy thought to all.Even though the little baby couldn't be carried to the palace because of the cold weather, as the little guy grew up to a full moon, princes and princesses began to visit him one after another.

In fact, the palace is not without children.Li Wan, the youngest daughter left by the prince, has been living in the East Palace, and she is over six years old now.

Before the prince passed away, Kang Ning loved this little niece very much. He was lying beside Li Wan's cradle, listening to the prince eloquently talking about his expectations for this daughter—Li Jingyu said that he would personally take A Wan to Central China For a run on the Qianli Plain, she was asked to learn Yan Gong's calligraphy from a young age, and she was also taken to see the moon high above the tower.

"Ning Ning, you don't know how smart she is!" The prince, who was a new father, was excited and proud at the time, "She can turn over now! Did you know? The nanny said this is earlier than all the children she has ever seen!"

At that time, because of the anxious situation and the various actions of Concubine Yang, the relationship between Kang Ning and the prince had actually begun to become slightly tense.But on that warm afternoon, amidst just a pair of brothers and a newborn baby babbling in the cradle, all awkwardness, suspicion and alienation were temporarily forgotten by them.

Kang Ning couldn't help laughing: "Brother Dahuang thought too early, A Wan is still young! I didn't realize how clever she is—I think she is just a fat girl who eats, eats and sleeps!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, you have never seen a child, how do you understand! Your emperor brother watched you grow up, I can tell whether this child is smart or not at a glance!" Li Jingyu was not convinced. Holding his daughter in his arms, "Besides, why is our Awan getting fat? The slim fit, the flesh and bones—it's obviously just right."

How much happiness was worth reminiscing that day, but looking back later, it is all old wounds.

After the prince left, Kang Ning fell ill for a year in a groggy state.When he stepped into the plain-covered Eastern Palace again and went to visit Li Wan, the little baby in the old days was already able to run and talk. She hugged the nurse's leg and half hid behind her, with resistance and fear in her eyes. With the hatred of an ignorant toddler, she screamed:

"You killed my father! You are the enemy of the East Palace! You are not allowed to come to my territory!"

The concubine, who became pale and silent after the prince left, was furious at that time, and asked angrily: "Who taught A Wan such words! Who said that to her? Pull the people who serve A Wan down for me—" Pull it down and kill it!"

Then the thin woman got up and strode to Li Wan's side, hugging the terrified little girl, "A Wan, apologize to your little uncle! Hurry up! Did you hear that?"

In fact, the princess is really out of a good position for Li Wan.

No matter how popular this little Highness Kang Ning is outside, but in the East Palace, his name is no different from a curse.No matter how much the prince's death has to do with him, ever since Concubine Yang hysterically attacked Kang Ning in front of the world on the night of the prince's death, it was impossible for the East Palace and Wangshu Palace to retain even a little superficial warmth. .

Now, Wangshu Palace is deeply favored by the emperor and is in full swing, but their East Palace has long lost Li Jingyu, the biggest support, and what they can rely on now is nothing but the empathy and love of the emperor.Li Wan, the concubine of the crown prince, seems to have no weight with the imperial concubine Yang, and no matter how much Emperor Hui pities this granddaughter who lost her father, how can she compare with his darling young son.

The crown princess was afraid that Li Wan, who was still ignorant, would offend the little highness, and the little girl would lose all her grandfather's love, so she hastily apologized to this ignorant child.

It's just that Li Wan was not born to her, and the Crown Princess had always ordered her biological mother to raise her, and the child was not close to her at all, and now she was so frightened that she wailed loudly.

At that time, Kang Ning only felt that all his strength was gone.It seems that he has become an extremely vicious person in the world at this moment, bullying the family members left behind by his deceased brother, and hurting the happy and peaceful daily life of his little niece.

"Don't, don't scare her. It's not Awan's fault. I should apologize to the emperor's wife and Awan! I'm afraid Awan was frightened by me, so it's better not to punish her familiar servants—— I'm not good. I'm going back now, I only hope that the emperor's wife and... A Wan will need me in the future, so I must ask someone to come over and let me know that I can do my best. "

He saluted in a hurry, not even having the courage to look up at the princess's expression at the moment, so he turned around and fled amidst A Wan's earth-shattering cries.

Since then, he has never seen A Wan again.

In fact, there is a huge box in Wangshu Palace, which contains many small golden horses, small fan pendants, exquisite mystery boxes and nine chains, exquisite small whips and children's enlightenment posters, which are all Kangning's four festivals a year, The gifts prepared for Li Wan on time and according to the season, if the crown prince was there, the proud father would not have lost his daughter.

But Awan's father left before she knew him.Awan doesn't have these things anymore.

Little Huangshu prepared it for her, but never dared to send it out.

Kang Ning didn't know if he would still have the opportunity to deliver the gold-encrusted whip and Yan Gong's copybook to Li Wan in his life, so that part of her growing up could be a little bit like her father imagined.Maybe, he thought, he would never know.

But at least he still had time to see his newborn little niece, and hold her in his arms before she could run and dance, love and hate.

Kang Ning has not seen his eldest sister for almost half a year.

The gentle and beautiful princess in the past has now grown into a happy and contented mother.

Her body recovered very well, and she was able to carry her daughter with her son-in-law very easily and went out to meet her younger brother and Qi Changfeng who came to visit her.The thin little man in her arms was sleeping soundly in her mother's arms at the moment, with her two little fists tightly clenched, and her little face seemed to be wrinkled in distress.

"Hey, I've been sleeping for a long time. It's unlucky for uncle to come. We should choose a time when our daughter is awake." When Kang Ning saw the baby, his whole body softened, and his voice was extremely soft.

"I've been sleeping all day long, it doesn't matter when you come," the eldest princess said with a smile, "It's good to be asleep, she wakes up and cries, wakes up and cries, and cries endlessly."

The wife came up and revealed the faults of the precious daughter, which made the son-in-law a little depressed, but he lightly touched the little face of the daughter, and he really couldn't refute this, so he didn't have much to say.

"Why are you crying? Is she uncomfortable or unhappy somewhere?" Kang Ning asked quickly.

"She's fine. She's been called to see all kinds of medical procedures. You'll know after staying with her for two days. She's a little person who was born to deal with people! The little person has a big temper. Very, as long as there is something that doesn't go my way, I will always make troubles, and I just have to let people do what she wants."

"Hahaha, that's really strange," Kang Ning leaned next to the eldest princess and looked at the little guy carefully, "Elder sister and brother-in-law are both so good-tempered, who does this girl look like?"

"Who else can I be like, like her little uncle—" The eldest princess chuckled, "You still have the nerve to ask others. When you were young, you were a crybaby! My daughter's temper is exactly like you. Look, you, an elder, set such a bad example for her!"

"Huh? Did Your Highness love to cry when he was a child?" Qi Changfeng, who had been wandering outside and only chatting with his son-in-law, seemed to suddenly become interested in this place, and unconsciously moved his feet to come over. "I remember when I came to the capital, my little Your Highness is already in a good temper."

"I heard this from Zhaohua. She said that before the age of two, His Royal Highness was the one who cried the most. For example, the nanny replaced him with a tiger doll that was caught by his pillow. Even if the fabric and color were the same, he could feel it. , and then cried for a long time, until the cloth tiger was replaced. This temper is exactly the same as our girl. It's just that the little highness has been two years old, and slowly learned to speak, so he doesn't like to cry all of a sudden, just tease I saw everyone laughing and hugging everyone," the son-in-law also came over to join the topic:

"So Zhaohua said that we are like a little uncle, so there is no need to worry. It's okay for a child to cry, it's time to practice her voice-she is smart, knows to hold back her strength, and rest for a while when she is tired. Keep on crying. And she doesn't scream like a baby—she has a nice voice!"

This is what a father can say.The Eldest Princess and his wife have been looking forward to this child for seven years, and it is really delicious for a little girl to fart.

Kang Ning laughed all of a sudden, but he seemed to be laughing anxiously, and even coughed softly.He was afraid that his voice would affect this short-tempered little niece, so he sat on the chair and half turned around, choking his cough on the stomach of Qi Changfeng who was standing behind him, and turned around only after he calmed down.

Facing the worried look on the Eldest Princess, Kang Ning smiled and waved his hands.

"Zhuzhuo? Didn't you say that you haven't given a name yet?" the little prince asked curiously.

"I can't decide on the big name. I first gave a baby name, and then I called it Zhuo Zhuo. I haven't called it yet. When my son Zhaoyang came here, I didn't know it. Now it's just me and her father who call me that." .” The eldest princess replied with a smile.

"Which word is it? But it's burning like burning?" Qi Changfeng didn't know why the little girl in the swaddling baby became more and more pleasing to the eye, "It seems to look a little like your highness."

"I'd say it's similar! The chin and lips are similar," Princess Zhaohua looked at her daughter, "It's either Zhuo, or Yiting Lanzhuo, who gave her a solid and robust nickname, Yiyue—— My son-in-law and I don't expect her to be so intelligent, outstanding, beautiful, and outstanding, as long as she is healthy and grows up safely, it will be fine."

After spending half a day at the Princess' Mansion, until she came out, Kang Ning was still wandering in the warm and happy atmosphere just now.Wrapped in a thick cloak, he walked with Qi Changfeng on the cold and spacious road in the winter afternoon, especially sighing:

"Zhuzhuo is so cute, we just played with her for a while after she woke up, she seemed to remember us - her head was still following us! You said she can see people clearly now Is it?" The little prince recalled his niece's appearance a little excitedly.

"At least the outline should be visible." Qi Changfeng recalled the children's classics that his mother told him when he was a child, and said uncertainly.As for whether you can remember it or not—" Zhuo Zhuo will naturally remember His Highness, after all, with such a handsome uncle, who wouldn't like it?"

"Haha, that's true!" Kang Ning smiled while pondering, "But does she really look like me? Why can't I see it at all?"

"It's really a bit like it," Qi Changfeng nodded and confirmed—at least so much that he had a natural liking for this little princess:

"Princess Zhaohua said that the chin and lips are the most similar—that is, the forehead is a bit similar. I guess others will know that they are from the same family at a glance."

The little prince was even happier, as if his footsteps were much lighter, "It's good to be like me, like me, it means Zhuzhuo is very good at growing up. Her little uncle - that can be said to be extremely handsome and elegant. This little girl knows According to my little uncle, I will definitely grow into a great beauty in the future!"

He has such a lively and lovely appearance, with brisk steps, the whole person looks happy and bright, it seems that Qi Changfeng's heart is about to melt into the hot soup of spring:

"Then when the Zhuzhuo little princess grows up, the little highness will definitely fascinate the young man of the whole girder when he takes her out to socialize and have fun! It is estimated that the threshold of the princess mansion will be broken by suitors at that time. Your Highness, as a little uncle, don't be reluctant to let your niece marry."

Kang Ning seemed to be dumbfounded, and stood still unconsciously.

"No. When Zhuo Zhuo grows up—" the little prince imagined that scene, and suddenly smiled very gently, "As long as she is happy, as long as she likes it in her heart, she can do whatever she wants and love anyone." good."

Then all his thoughts seem to flow back quickly from the fantasy of the future, fall on the present, and fall back on the person opposite:

"Qi Changfeng, a broken leaf has fallen from your hair—come over here, and I'll take it off for you."
