Chapter 319 Happy events and rumors!
Li Yan asked him to waive the gift and asked, "How is the issuance of the new currency now?"
"When you go back to Your Highness, there are endless people coming to exchange new coins every day. But our branch has exchanged more than 4 million copper coins, and there are probably many other branches. The chapters are updated the fastest," replied the bank's shopkeeper.
When Li Yan and Guan Sixing heard this, they both showed a satisfied look. There were already a lot of copper coins in this number, and there were four or five branches in Yizhou, and there were branches in various prefectures and counties. The total amount would be larger. Generally speaking, the people already agreed with the new currency.
After chatting with the bank's shopkeeper for a while, he learned about the situation of the bank. Li Yan and Guan Sixing left the commercial street. On the way, Li Yan went back to the palace directly, while Guan Sixing returned to his governor's office.
After four months, Li Yan finally came back. Speaking of which, he really missed this place a little during this period, after all, this place is his real home.
When he saw Li Yan, the guards of the royal mansion immediately informed the others in the royal mansion through the walkie-talkie. As soon as Li Yan entered the gate, Rongda trotted all the way and almost bumped into Li Yan. Rongda was so scared that he almost fell.
"Your Highness, you are back. The slave misses you every day and can't sleep." Rongda said with a smile on his face, with real joy in his eyes.
Li Yan immediately had goose bumps all over his body, and he raised his foot and called Rongda's butt, "I don't like men's hobbies."
After being kicked by Li Yan, Rong Da smiled even more humble. After so long, he had already understood Li Yan's temper clearly and said, "What the gulls say are the truth."
The slave and the master were joking, and Cui Yingying, who had heard the news, also rushed over. However, Cui Yingying was walking strangely at this time. She was wearing a robe that was bigger than usual. When she saw Li Yan, Cui Yingying pouted her mouth and tears rolled in her eyes. She said, "Why did your highness go for so long? It made me worry every day."
Li Yan grabbed her hand and said, "Isn't this a official business?" Li Yan himself felt that it was a bit too much. He had been away for four months, and he really made the three girls Cui Yingying live a widow.
Cui Yingying turned her mouth and said nothing, but the grievance on her face increased instead of reducing. Xiao Cui's eyes turned around, and she gave Li Yan a wink on Cui Yingying's belly.
Li Yan had just got off the boat and had dealt with Guan Sixing a lot of things. His mind was like a pile of mud. When he saw Cui Yingying's close maid, he was not touched at all. He even felt a little confused in his heart, and he didn't understand what Xiao Cui's eyes meant.
When the King of Shu came back, the news spread, and the royal family immediately became lively. Everyone had a smile on their faces. The servants seemed to be particularly strong in their work, because during the period when Li Yan left, they were ghosts and monsters in Yizhou took turns to fight. There were also some rumors that were getting rid of the people among the people. These news made the people in the royal family feel uneasy. After all, Li Yan disappeared for four months, and Cui Yingying and other insiders still knew what Li Yan was doing. But these servants didn't understand, so they were naturally affected by the rumors outside.
When he returned to the bedroom with Cui Yingying, Li Yan retreated and had to vent his fire that had been accumulated for so long. When Cui Yingying saw the omen, he immediately stopped Li Yan and said, "Your Highness, no."
"What can't do? I'm suffocating." Li Yan's hand was no longer honest. But Cui Yingying's attitude was very firm and pushed Li Yan's hand away, "What's wrong?" Li Yan felt something was wrong.
Cui Yingying's face suddenly had a smile on her face and said, "Your Highness, guess?"
"What are you guessing?" Li Yan was a little depressed. What was he playing?
Cui Yingying was a little angry and glanced at Li Yan. She didn't plan to continue guessing the riddle with him, but moved her long sleeves that had been blocking her belly, "Your Highness, I have me."
Li Yan was stunned when he heard this. His eyes were on Cui Yingying's belly. He saw that Cui Yingying's belly was slightly bulging, exactly the same as a pregnant woman who was about four months pregnant.
"I have a child!" Li Yan said in a daze, suddenly feeling strange, a little surprised, a little expectant, and a little at a loss. Is this the feeling of becoming a father for the first time?
"Your Highness!" Seeing that Li Yan was stupid, Cui Yingying said coquettishly, including now, she had been bedridden with Li Yan for more than four years, and it was not until now that she was pregnant. The pressure in her heart was immediately wiped out. For the past April, she had been hiding the news from Li Yan, just waiting for Li Yan to come back and tell Li Yan personally.
Li Yan came back to his senses and blamed him: "Why didn't you tell me on the radio that you shouldn't come out to pick me up just now and run around." Like a normal man, Li Yan was incoherent.
When Cui Yingying saw Li Yan's care and panic, she immediately smiled sweetly. What else can make a woman feel happy than being by her husband when she was pregnant? "I want to wait for Your Highness to come back and give her a surprise to you myself." Cui Yingying gently stroked her belly, as if she was touching the most noble thing in the world.
Li Yan shook his head, held Cui Yingying down on the chair, and said, "Don't go out and run around in the future. Just stay in the palace. When you go out for a walk, you should bring more maids with you." Li Yan continued to remind him.
"I understand..." Cui Yingying said in a long voice. Li Yan suddenly became verbally talkative, and she was a little uncomfortable.
Sitting down beside Cui Yingying, Li Yan asked Cui Yingying about her children again. It turned out that after Li Yan went to sea, Cui Yingying felt uncomfortable and vomited when she smelled meat. Her maid Xiao Cui immediately noticed something was wrong and called Sun Simiao to the palace. After taking the pulse, she realized that Cui Yingying was happy. At first, Cui Yingying didn't believe it, but Sun Simiao repeatedly took her pulse and she finally became convinced. She was ecstatic for a moment. The princess, she, finally, was pregnant with Li Yan's child first. Now Li Yan has taken Su Mo'er as her concubine. If Su Mo'er was pregnant before her, then she would be really embarrassed.
"Do you want it to be a boy or a girl?" Li Yan said, holding Cui Yingying's hand.
Cui Yingying said: "Of course it's a boy, so he will be the eldest son of His Highness."
Li Yan thought to himself that it was a waste of time. In this era of favoring boys over girls, this question has no meaning at all. "Yes, good boy!" Li Yan agreed.
"But what if it's a girl?" Cui Yingying became worried again at this time.
"It's good for a girl, it's also the eldest princess!" Li Yan comforted again.
Cui Yingying was satisfied only then and looked at Li Yan and smiled foolishly again.
The two of them were in the house and they learned that Li Yan had returned from overseas and also came to the palace one after another, including Shangguan Yi, Qin Huaiyu and other military and political ministers all came to the palace to pay homage to Li Yan, which made Li Yan quite different.
After leaving the bedroom, Li Yan brought everyone to the Political Consultative Hall. He said coldly: "What's going on? I always feel something is wrong when I arrived at the royal palace from Nanhe Wharf. Tell me."
Zhu Youzhi said: "Your Highness has been leaving Yizhou for four months, and there has been no news once he goes away. Although the princess said that your highness has been busy with government affairs overseas, only the princess knows after all. So some rumors about your highness's accident began to spread among the public, and people are also volatile. I am afraid that there will be changes in Yizhou. Now that your highness is back, these rumors will naturally be broken."
Li Yan frowned when he heard this, and said, "There is no wind and waves. Such malicious rumors are definitely done on purpose by someone, otherwise everyone would not know them now."
"Your Highness is right!" At this time, a crisp voice came from outside the Political Affairs Hall, but Su Moer walked in with great dust. When she saw Li Yan, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Yan's brows tightened even more, and asked Su Mo'er to sit down. Li Yan said, "You are the highest officer of Wuhou Hall and you know the most about the movements among the people. What's going on?"
Su Moer said: "To be honest, you have to blame Your Highness for this matter."
"Blame me?"
Su Mo'er nodded, "Yes, it's all the cannons given to the emperor by His Highness. Now this powerful weapon is well known. All kinds of ghosts and monsters gather in Yizhou to get such weapons. Some of them have even reached into the army." (To be continued...)
