[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Liu Bang looked at the books under his hands. Although the bamboo pieces were still the original ones, the content on them was very different from the ones he had read. It was re-carved by Lu Zhi.However, one thing is the same.That is, there are two books, one is still a military book and the other is a strategy.

Lu Zhi didn't plan to let him specialize in one, but hoped that he could have both.Now Liu Bang still feels that the art of war is not suitable for him, but with the backing of a smart brain, he does not object to learning more things by himself, and it will not take him much time.

After getting a reward once, Liu Bang really had some motivation to read these books.He even asked Lu Zhi to help him prepare a few more books, but Lu Zhi refused.

The reason for Lu Zhi's refusal made him really unable to refute. He is the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, and he must go back to work in a few days.Since I have business to do, I don't have much time to read.It is just a waste to make more bamboo slips and books in the past two days.

As the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, Liu Bang naturally has official duties, and it is rare for him to have a few days off because of his happy event.After this happy event, he will naturally return to his position to handle official duties.If he missed a major event because of his personal relationship, he might not even be able to keep his personal relationship.

He did not forget that Lu Zhi once said it.Only when his achievements can satisfy her can he climb into her bed.I didn't care about this sentence at first, but now I care a lot.He wanted to make some achievements, and then truly turn Lu Zhi into his own, instead of trying to have the name of husband and wife like now, but there is no reality of husband and wife.

The reason for Lu Zhi's refusal really left him speechless. He only saw the current situation, so Lu Zhi had considered various factors.She arranged everything properly and never wanted to do extra things.

Even if it's just because of his sudden dissatisfaction with Lu Zhi, he will make himself read these books seriously.This will definitely be a huge boost for him when he becomes an official in the future.

……

Three years later, Liu Bang is still the head of the Surabaya Pavilion.

Liu Bang did not leave immediately after breakfast to continue his work as the Surabaya pavilion chief.He flipped through the two books he needed to read for the day, as he usually did after breakfast.It's just that today, he is not as serious as he was in the past, but he is a bit absent-minded.

Before Lu Zhi married him, he already had a son, who was born to his mistress Cao.In the past, this was also Liu Ji's capital to show off to the outside world. Although he did not marry a wife, there were people willing to bear him a child, even if he did not give her any title at all.

How ostentatious and excited I was at the beginning, how hard it is to say now.Lu Zhi should know the existence of his son, she knows him so well, there is no reason to ignore a real person like Liu Fei.However, she knew that it was two different things from him telling her to bring her son back!

When he got married, Liu Bang already had this child, but he didn't care.Although Liu Fei is his own blood, Cao's is the child who was conceived in Shiyue and desperately saved.When Cao Shi was pregnant, the Liu family never took care of her.Even if Taigong Liu really wanted to keep the blood of the Liu family by his side, it was impossible.

However, now that something happened to Mrs. Cao, she even asked someone to bring a letter to him.If he doesn't bring Liu Fei back, Taigong Liu may be the first to spare him.

No matter how much Taigong Liu felt that it was a blessing for the Liu family that it was a blessing for Lu Zhi to marry into their Liu family as a young lady, he would never make the old Liu family's bloodlines become dishonest for a woman.No matter who gave birth to Liu Fei, in Liu Taigong's eyes, this is Liu Bang's son.The orthodox blood of the Liu family is more important to him than Lu Zhi, a woman.

Liu Bang has raised his head to look at Lu Zhi more than once. Every time he mustered up his courage, he subconsciously lowered his head after meeting Lu Zhi's eyes, pretending to put his mind on the book.

"You have something to say." Xun Ying raised her head and glanced at Liu Bang, how could she miss Liu Bang's repeated hesitation.

"Hmm..." Liu Bang knew that he had no reason to escape when he heard Lu Zhi speak like this.Saying hello in advance is much better than bringing Liu Fei directly to Lu Zhi. "You...should have heard that I had a son before marriage?"

"I've heard of it. There are not many people in Pei County who don't know about your love affair. Although I didn't come to Pei County for a long time when I married you, it's impossible for me to know nothing about you. I will marry you under the circumstances." Xun Ying nodded, there was no surprise on her face, let alone anger.

Liu Bang naturally heard the nonsense, Lu Zhi once sent someone to inquire about him.Looking at Lu Zhi's performance, I also know that she doesn't care about it.Lu Zhi doesn't care how many women Liu Bang has, and can even take the initiative to arrange for him.She also doesn't care if he has children, so his worries are unnecessary.

This doesn't make him relax, it just makes it harder for him to accept it.Lu Zhi didn't care about him now, no matter how much she cared, in her opinion he was still a tool to fulfill Lu Gong's prophecy.Other than that, maybe nothing else.However, because of her unemotional but well-arranged care, he fell in love with her.

"Father means, let me bring Liu Fei back." Liu Bang tried his best to keep his tone as impersonal as possible.

"It should be taken back, after all, it is the blood of the husband, so it can't be kept outside forever." Far from being a trace of haze in Xun Ying's sight, there was a bit of softness on the contrary.

"Pheaser, it's good that you don't get angry." Liu Bang felt that Lu Zhi didn't seem to reject this child, and even liked it a little.She likes children?Thinking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help fantasizing about the children of the two. With Lu Zhi's ability, the children of the two would definitely be better.Like their mother, she is both civil and military, and she will be as suave and suave as him. I don't know how many women will be addicted to it.

Thinking about this now, it's really a bit far away.He hasn't even climbed into Lu Zhi's bed until now, and the child has no chance in a short time.When will he be able to obtain the right to satisfy Lu Zhi, he has no guarantee at all.He didn't know when he would encounter the opportunity that belonged to him, and he also didn't know how far he could go to satisfy Lu Zhi.

"The child's mother...where is she now?" Xun Ying restrained the smile on her lips, she didn't mind raising a child.However, she naturally didn't want to do the wedding dress for other people.

"You don't have to worry about it, Pheasant." Liu Bang naturally knew what Lu Pheasant was worried about. If Lu Pheasant raised a child for so long, his biological mother would take advantage of it, not to mention Lu Pheasant himself. He would feel worthless for Lu Zhi. "The mother of this child is no longer alive. If not, Liu Fei would not have been sent to me suddenly."

The child's mother thought very simple when she gave birth to the child. A woman who is dazzled by love has always thought simple.But after the child was born, she found that she couldn't bear the consequences.Liu Bangben is a passionate person, and he found his next target after being with her for a long time, so he naturally left her behind.If it hadn't been for the death of his mother and the child being sent to Liu's family, Liu Bang probably wouldn't have remembered that one of his lovers was one of them.

The person who had almost forgotten suddenly caught him by surprise.If it is said that before this incident, he still had a good impression of that Cao family.Now, it has completely disappeared.

"If your husband trusts me, you can put him by my side to teach him. If he goes home and lives with his parents, some people will inevitably gossip." After all, Lu Zhi is not a biological mother. The drama of the bastard is endless.It's hard to believe that she is so active.

"Of course I believe in Pheasant. It is justifiable for this child to be raised by Pheasant's side." Liu Bang didn't care about Liu Fei's bloodline at all, but he felt that if he and Lu Pheasant had bloodlines, they would definitely be better than Liu Fei many.He also trusted Lu Zhi, if she wanted to assassinate Liu Fei, with her means, why should she put people by her side?

"I will teach it well. Since my husband is going to do great things in the future, this child can't weaken my husband's reputation. He is younger and more malleable, and his future achievements may not be inferior to your husband's." Xun Ying's lips cornered Slightly evoking an arc, it seems a bit of real pleasure.

"..." Liu Bang was inexplicably displeased with his own son. He was so smart that he surprised himself. In Lu Zhi's eyes, his plasticity was not as good as that of a child who was less than three years old?

Young people do have infinite possibilities, but thinking of Liu Fei's timid look when he saw him, he was really dissatisfied with being compared to such a child.Even if this child is his son.Although it was indeed his blood that remained on his body, Liu Bang still didn't pay much attention to it.

"Husband, after finishing today's book, bring the child back. Children are always closer to their parents." Xun Ying picked up the water glass in front of her, sipped it and moistened her lips.

"Okay." Liu Bang knew that the matter was settled satisfactorily, and he didn't even have any worries.

He believed in Lu's pheasant's ability to teach children, even though Lu's pheasant had never been a mother herself.But everything she owns is her confidence.

How much memory can a child under three years old have?Cao's memory in his heart will not last for a few years.A biological mother who has only raised him for three years, and an adoptive mother who has taught him carefully, the possibility of being closer to the adoptive mother is unintentionally greater.If Lu's pheasant had his own children in the future, the possibility of fighting between brothers would be less.

Lu's pheasant treated Liu Fei better, her parents would be more satisfied with her, and Lu's pheasant's reputation outside would be more virtuous and dignified.It seems that no matter who is concerned, this is a good thing.Liu Bang always felt that there was something stuck in his heart.

Liu Bang finished reading the book in his hand in a bit of ecstasy, then went to Liu Zhong's house, and brought back the young Liu Fei.He obviously didn't have much patience for coaxing children, so it can be said that he ignored Liu Fei all the way, and didn't open his mouth to tease him.

In Liu Fei's eyes, he was full of fear towards Liu Bang, without much sense of intimacy.What impressed him most was his mother, even though his mother told him many times that he had a father, and his father was also one of his closest people.However, the title of father is still unfamiliar to him.

Children think about things very simply, and they can feel the kindness and malice of the people around them.He didn't feel any paternal love from Liu Bang, what he probably felt was only his father's dislike for him.As time goes by, naturally there is no expectation.

Liu Bang did not take Liu Fei to Liu Taigong's side immediately, but directly brought him to the place where he and Lu Zhi lived.

"Back?" Xun Ying heard the door was pushed open, she raised her head to look at the door.Sure enough, I saw Liu Bang walking in with a child in his arms.Boys are slightly fatter than children of the same age, and Xun Ying knew the origin of the name Liu Fei almost instantly.

Although Liu Fei was not raised by Liu Bang's side, it is most likely that Liu Bang would give the child a name based on Cao's deep affection for Liu Bang.Liu Bang didn't care much about the child, and Mr. Liu was still alive, so he was more likely to choose a name.

From Liu Bang and others, we can see the degree of Liu Taigong's naming.Liu Bo, Liu Zhong, Liu Ji, these uncles and uncles were equivalent to one, two, three and four in ancient times. According to the ranking, they are not names at all.

The reason why Liu Bang took the fourth place instead of the third place was because there was an elder sister above him.Compared with Liu Bang and others, it seems that Liu Fei can have a name, which is already considered good?

"Well, this is Liu Fei." Liu Bang reached out and put Liu Fei in his hand on the ground.

For Liu Fei, Lu Zhi is just a stranger.Even though he is more afraid of Liu Bang, he still subconsciously relies on people he is relatively familiar with.So even though he was put on the ground by Liu Bang, he hugged Liu Bang's leg with his backhand, and he was not enthusiastic about Lu Zhi, let alone flattering him.

A child of his age probably doesn't have the definition of pleasing in his mind.No one would have told him before that Lu Zhi was his stepmother.Even though children may not understand the difference between stepmother and mother, adults who know the difference will still subconsciously conceal it.

Seeing Liu Fei's behavior of not giving him face, Liu Bang frowned slightly, and he stretched out his hand to pull Liu Fei away from his lap, and even wanted him to take the initiative to approach Xun Ying to win Xun Ying's favor .

As soon as he put his hand on Liu Fei's little hand that was gripping his skirt tightly, he felt a warm palm on the back of his hand.It was much smaller than his palm, and his smooth and tender touch made him know the owner of this hand almost immediately.

Lu Zhi was still sitting in front of the table just now, and seemed to appear in front of them in an instant.She vividly showed the appearance and disappearance of martial arts practitioners, but her pampered palms made it hard to believe that she was a martial arts practitioner.

"This child is really cute." Xun Ying and Liu Fei looked at each other, and she reached out to touch Liu Fei's chubby cheek.It can be seen that sometimes this obesity has nothing to do with family background.Especially children, in a family that is not rich like the Liu family, they can raise them in vain and fat. "Liu Fei, I will be your mother in the future."

Liu Fei obviously felt that Lu Zhi had no ill intentions towards him, but he also knew that his mother was dead.Maybe he didn't know the meaning of the word death, but he also knew that Cao Shi would not be by his side anymore.Liu Fei shook his head slightly, "It's not my mother!"

"Yes, it's the new mother." Xunying has a lot of ways to make Liu Fei regard her as the closest person, and even eliminate the traces of Cao's in his heart.If she does that, when Liu Fei grows up, some things that she doesn't like will probably happen.Feelings are such a thing, sometimes there is really no room for any flaws.She only showed her kindness and did not do anything superfluous.

"The new...mother?" Liu Fei didn't have much rejection of Lu Zhi because of these two words.He stretched out his hand and let go of his grip on Liu Bang's skirt.

Sensing his movement, Xun Ying immediately took her hand away from the back of Liu Bang's.She stretched out her hand to hold Liu Fei's little hand, and bent slightly to meet Liu Fei's gaze.This kid always looks up when he looks at people, and his eyes are watery.This clarity is really hard to resist. "Well, good~"

Xun Ying reached out to lift Liu Fei up and walked to the dining table.Although it was not too late when Liu Bang left, it was not too early either.It's getting dark now, and it's time for dinner.For this dinner, Xun Ying naturally made people prepare it early.And because there is an extra child today, I also specially prepared a softer paste, which is made by rolling the grains that I eat on weekdays into noodles and boiling them.

She scooped up some paste with a spoon and put it in a small bowl, put the small bowl in front of Liu Fei, and put a spoon in his hand. "It's so late, you're hungry, let's have something to eat first."

Lu Pheasant was indeed very close to Liu Fei, so close that he, a husband, was a little jealous.The temperature on the back of Liu Bang's hand has not completely dissipated, but it also lost the warmth just now.Between Liu Fei and him, Lu Zhi seems to have chosen Liu Fei, a son who has no blood relationship with her?This is really not a pleasant thing to do!

Liu Bang didn't stand still, he also walked quickly to the dining table and sat down.I always feel that if Lu Zhi and Liu Fei are allowed to dine together, none of them will remember his existence.

He watched from the side as Lu Zhi put some soft and glutinous dishes that the child could eat into Liu Fei's bowl, and then watched him eat the sticky dishes little by little, and from time to time instructed him to use a spoon correct posture.Such a big child, he can't even use a spoon well!

Liu Bang had to admit that he was jealous.Lu Zhi had a very serious look when he was with him, and always seemed to have a dignified and elegant formal smile in front of others.When facing Liu Fei, her smile seemed to have a bit of sincerity.

The dishes on the table are much richer than in the past. Their Liu family's life is not good, so naturally it is impossible for every meal to have a lot of dishes on the table like a rich family.It's normal to have one dish at a time, and two dishes can already be counted as a relatively good meal.This time, Lu Zhi asked Wan Mei to prepare a table of dishes.

He used his chopsticks to pick up the dish that was closest to him but farthest from Lu Zhi, and put it in Lu Zhi's bowl.There was an obvious smile on his lips, and his eyes were much gentler than before. "Pheasant, try this. Liu Fei usually eats alone, so you don't have to worry about him."

Liu Bang didn't lie, the Cao family really attached great importance to Liu Fei.Although there is no shortage of food and drink, they will not pamper their children like a rich family.At most, it is to put food suitable for children in a small bowl and place it in front of Liu Fei.Liu Bang had seen Liu Fei eating alone once before, and he knew that Liu Fei didn't need to worry about it.

Xun Ying looked down at the mustard greens in front of her. She picked them up twice with her chopsticks, but she never put them in her mouth. "I don't like mustard greens, just eat it yourself, my husband."

She is a person who has experienced the end of the world, even if she had the experience of picky eaters before, it disappeared under the tempering of the end of the world.Although Xun Ying herself has the ability to make herself comfortable in the last days, but that will undoubtedly reveal a lot of secrets to her inadvertently.

This point, Xunying is not allowed.Sometimes when playing a role, I see myself as that role, which will make people around me more trustworthy.

When Xun Ying regarded herself as a psychic, she rarely used her supernatural powers.When she was eating, she was often with other people.Naturally, her picky eater got better early.

But... Although she doesn't choose, Lu Zhi will.Lu Zhi had been a young lady for more than ten years before, so there were so many dishes on the table, and Liu Bang happened to pick up the ones she didn't like very much.

In fact, this is no wonder Liu Bang.Such a table of dishes today is indeed to welcome Liu Fei, but Xun Ying will not treat Liu Bang badly.

She had already known what Liu Bang liked to eat from Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu, a mother, was very supportive of Lu Zhi's inquiring about her son's preferences.Only by knowing what he likes can he serve his son better.In this regard, Ms. Liu knows everything and speaks endlessly.

Xun Ying asked Wan Mei to put the food that Liu Bang liked to eat in front of Liu Bang.What was placed in front of her was what she liked, or something suitable for a child like Liu Fei.

Liu Bang thought about it, and she knew it in her heart.He probably thought that Lu Zhi would not stretch out his hands to pick up vegetables that were so far away from her, so he thought he would pick them up for her directly.However, he never thought that there would be dishes on the table that Lu Zhi didn't like.

"En." Liu Bang felt that he had been hurt, so he simply picked up the mustard greens in Lu Zhi's bowl, so as not to be an eyesore.

He and Lu Zhi didn't get along for a long time, so naturally it was impossible to know what she liked from the short time together these few days.Naturally, he didn't know that Lu Zhi didn't like the mustard greens he liked.There was a moment of sadness in his eyes, and then there was a bit of obvious firmness.

Since you don't know enough, let yourself know more and understand Lu Zhi better.Even if Lu Zhi doesn't know him as well, he will never need to explore by himself a little bit like now.

Liu Fei naturally saw Liu Bang pick up food for Lu Zhi. He looked at the bowl full of food in front of him, and then at the empty bowl in front of Lu Zhi.He stretched out his chubby hand, took a spoonful of vegetables from the plate closest to him, and put it in Lu Zhi's bowl. "Mother, eat."

"Okay, our Liu Fei is really good." Xun Ying reached out and touched Liu Fei's little head, and the next moment he picked up the vegetables that Liu Fei had spooned into her bowl and ate them.

"..." Liu Bang looked at Liu Fei holding such a spoonful of food, half of which fell out of the plate. He didn't think there was anything worthy of praise for such a waste of food.However, Lu Zhi not only praised Liu Fei.She really ate the little dish that Liu Fei picked up!

Liu Bang felt that his unhealed wound had been slashed again, and he even felt that it might not be a wise decision for him to bring Liu Fei back.The more Lu Zhi likes the child, the more he may neglect him. This child does not belong to the two of them, but to him and his lover.

If this continues, the possibility of him getting Lv Zhi seems to be smaller and more difficult.
