After Sun Simiao's careful nursing, Empress Changsun's body has not recovered, but she is much better than before when she was dying. At least she has the strength to sit up with the support of others.Now Empress Changsun is grooming and washing under the service of the maids, her thin face is full of sickness, but from the eyebrows, she can vaguely see the dignity and beauty of the past.

Empress Changsun took the hot towel from the maid and wiped her face lightly. Although she still felt weak all over, Sun Simiao advised her to move more and do things by herself, so she usually washes her face and eats. Little things, she tries her best to do it herself.

"I want to report to you, Your Majesty, just now His Royal Highness King Jin ordered that he would personally prepare breakfast for you, and it is probably ready by now!" Seeing Empress Changsun brushing her face, a court lady stepped forward and reported with a smile.

"Oh? The pheasant slave has a heart!" Empress Changsun rarely showed a smile on her sick face. Li Zhi is her youngest son. For a mother, she loves her youngest son very much, and Empress Changsun is no exception. And Li Zhi can be so filial, which made Empress Changsun very pleased.

"Hehe, not only His Royal Highness Jin, but even Princess Jinyang also went to help His Royal Highness, saying that she wanted to make it for the empress herself!" This court lady has served the eldest grandson queen for many years and is very favored, so she is more courageous , It is also more casual to speak in front of the eldest grandson queen.Capital Datang 28

"Hehe, Sizi is going to help the pheasant slave. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal." Empress Changsun laughed. For Sizi, a beloved daughter, Empress Changsun loved her no less than Li Zhi, and Sizi has been weak since birth and fell ill at every turn, so she usually spends more time on Sizi than other children.

"Mother's queen! Mother's queen! Try the steamed eggs made by Sizi!" At this moment, little Sizi rushed in, followed closely by the maids behind, for fear that she would accidentally fall.

"Sit down, run slowly, be careful of falling!" Empress Changsun immediately lifted her spirits when she saw her beloved daughter, and her face recovered a little bit of blood, and she commanded with love and compassion.

Sizi didn't listen at all, and stuck his head in front of Empress Changsun's couch, and said with a smile: "Mother, the steamed eggs made by Sizi are exactly the same as those made by Brother Six. Brother Ninth is a big fool, and the ones he made are ugly. gone."

As soon as the little girl came in, she asked Empress Changsun for credit, and also belittled Li Zhi by the way.At this time Li Zhi also came in dejectedly, he wanted to please the queen mother, but he didn't expect that something went wrong, and instead let the little girl Si Zi take the lead.

"Hehe, what delicious food did Sizi and pheasant slave cook, let my concubine taste it!" Empress Changsun lovingly caressed Sizi's little head and smiled. She already felt the filial piety of Sizi and pheasant slave. Very satisfied, as to what to eat is not important.

"Quick! Open it quickly!" Sizi urged the maid carrying the tray to come forward, and Li Zhi also signaled the people behind him to present what he had made. I secretly made up my mind that I must do it a few more times after I go back today, and strive to do my best tomorrow.

"Huh? This aroma is really unique, and it makes people appetite when smelling it." As the lid of the bowl was opened, a drooling aroma came out, making everyone who smelled it feel like the bottom of the tongue was saliva , even Empress Changsun, who lost her appetite after a long illness, was no exception.

Hearing the praise of Empress Changsun, Xiao Si was overjoyed, and Empress Changsun's personal maid brought up a bowl to feed her. It was the first time Empress Changsun ate steamed eggs, and she was immediately impressed by the sour, salty, delicious and extremely smooth taste. I felt that the appetite was stimulated, and the bowl of steamed eggs that Sizi served was not much, only two eggs were beaten, so in a short while, it was eaten up by Empress Changsun.

Seeing that the queen ate so much all at once, and she was still enjoying herself, the maids around were all overjoyed: Although the condition of the eldest grandson empress has improved, her appetite has always been poor. Diet according to the amount, in order to improve the condition, Empress Changsun usually endures nausea to eat, sometimes she vomits out again as soon as she eats, and has to repeat a meal several times, because of this, His Majesty Taizong has lost his temper several times, but I didn't expect Princess Jinyang and King Jin solved this problem today.

After eating the bowl made by Sizi, the maid saw that Empress Zhangsun still had a look of unsatisfied expression, so she took the bowl made by Li Zhi again. He stopped after he finished eating.

"Hehe, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. Sizi and Pheasant are really sensible, and they all know that my heart hurts, mother." After eating two bowls of steamed eggs, Empress Changsun's complexion also looked better. There are some signs of sweating, which is definitely a good sign for a patient.

"Mother, the Sixth Brother made this specially for my son last night. The father tasted it and thought it was good, so I thought of the mother..." The little girl also felt that the mother's spirit was much better, so she chatted to the eldest grandson Queen about what happened yesterday. About the dinner party, while Li Zhi added, after all, it is difficult for a three-year-old child to express one thing clearly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Min'er to be blessed by misfortune. His behavior is often unexpected. Not only is his literary talent outstanding, but he can even hold a banquet so novel. It's a pity that I am ill and I am not blessed to attend!" After hearing the words of the two children, Empress Changsun said, Can't help talking to himself.She didn't have any worries about Li Yin's outstanding performance. After all, Li Yin and Li Ke had congenital defects in their identities, and it was impossible for them to pose a threat to the crown prince.

"Sister, your complexion is much better than yesterday, hey, are the pheasant slave and Sizi here?" At this moment, a beauty in a palace costume came in with a maid, and said happily when she saw the ruddy face of the eldest grandson empress, and then looked at it. To Li Zhi and Si Zi.

"See Concubine Yang!" As soon as Li Zhi and Si Zi saw the person, they immediately stood up and saluted. The person who came was Li Yin's biological mother, Concubine Yang.

"Hehe, get up quickly!" Concubine Yang often came to Empress Changsun's place, and she liked the two children very much, so she pulled them up one by one.

"Why did my sister come so early? I heard from the pheasant slave and Sizi that His Majesty drank a lot at the Five Kings Banquet yesterday. I think my sister must be tired enough to take care of His Majesty. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Empress Changsun smiled. Inviting Concubine Yang to sit by the couch, and asked with a friendly face, she and Concubine Yang have the best relationship in the palace, this is not only because the two have similar temperaments, but Concubine Yang is not a threat to her Queen's position is also an important reason.

"Last night, Your Majesty praised that the steamed eggs made by Min'er are very suitable for my sister to eat. I specially asked Min'er to hand over the recipe to me. I made it early this morning and gave it to my sister to taste." Concubine Yang said with a smile. She heard the reports from the palace staff about making steamed eggs, and she was very worried about Li Shimin agreeing to let Li Zhi make steamed eggs for Empress Changsun, so she learned how to prepare them and sent them over.Capital Datang 28

"Hee hee, Concubine Yang is late. Brother Jiu and I have finished eating the queen mother, and what I made is much better than Brother Jiu's!" The little girl looked up at her chubby face, very proud Said.

"Oh, Sizi is amazing!" Concubine Yang picked up Sizi and put it on her lap with a smile, "Since your mother has eaten it, what will Concubine Yang do with the bowl?"

"I'll eat! I'll eat! Sizi likes to eat the dishes made by Concubine Yang the most!" In the spare time, I like to go to Concubine Yang's place to eat and drink. Concubine Yang also likes Sizi, an elf little girl, but unfortunately she has no daughter, and Li Ke brothers are out of the palace to live alone, so all maternal love Poured on Sizi.

Empress Changsun couldn't talk too much, she could only watch Concubine Yang play with her son with a smile on her face, and Li Zhi stayed with her for a while, because he was going to primary school, so he resigned.After being fed a bowl of steamed eggs by Concubine Yang herself, Sizi was tired after playing for a while. After all, she didn't go to bed until midnight last night, so she fell asleep in Concubine Yang's arms after a while.

Looking at Sizi sleeping in Concubine Yang's arms, Empress Changsun had a loving face, but she didn't know what she thought of, her face gradually turned into worry, and there was even a look of panic in her eyes from time to time.

"Sister, you are still so weak, don't bother with those things outside the palace anymore!" Concubine Yang also noticed the change in Empress Changsun's expression, and sighed to persuade her. She knew what Empress Changsun was thinking better than anyone else. It is clear, and the experience is deeper than anyone else.

"Sister, isn't it a blessing that Empress Taimu died early?" Empress Changsun didn't seem to hear Concubine Yang's persuasion at all, but instead said such a nonsensical remark.

Concubine Yang was shocked. Empress Taimu was Empress Dou, Gaozu's first wife, and also Li Shimin's biological mother.Others may not understand the meaning of Empress Changsun's words, but Concubine Yang, as a good sister of Empress Changsun, is the clearest.

Prince Chengqian is the eldest son of Empress Changsun, and the second son, Li Tai, is very popular with Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Not only did he not let the grown-up Li Tai go to land fiefdom, but he also authorized him to set up a literature center in the mansion, allowing him to recruit scholars by himself. Although many ministers came to Cambodia and advised Li Shimin not to pamper Li Tai too much, but Li Shimin promised well in person, but he still doted on Li Tai very much.It is estimated that even if the two brothers Li Ke and Li Yin add one piece, they cannot compare with Taizong's love for Li Tai.

The eldest son is the prince, and the second son is very much loved by Li Shimin, but the eldest grandson empress is sensitive to the turbulent undercurrent under this beautiful surface.The two sons are grown up, and everyone has their own ideas. Because Li Tai is too much loved by Li Shimin, he has already coveted the position of prince. Showing a kind of vigilance, coupled with some people's overt and covert provocations, now the rift between the two brothers is getting bigger and bigger. Although they can still show brotherly respect in front of the eldest grandson empress, in fact, the two have already There is no more brotherhood.

The so-called knowing son is more like a mother, and the eldest grandson empress is their biological mother, how can they not see the changes between the two?As a mother, watching her two biological sons slowly embark on the road of hostility because of the struggle for the throne, it is even more uncomfortable than killing her. Even the eldest grandson Empress still has a huge fear in her heart. It is because they are afraid that Li Chengqian and his brothers will follow the old path of Li Shimin and force them to kill their brothers to win the throne.Every time she thinks of this, Empress Changsun can't help but tremble with fear.

Seeing the always dignified and generous Empress Changsun, now she has a flustered and confused look on her face.Thinking of her poor life experience, Concubine Yang's eyes turned red, and she couldn't stop crying.As a subjugated princess, who else can understand the horror of the struggle for the throne better than her?Her father, mother, and those brothers and sisters almost all died in the change of imperial power between the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If she hadn't happened to stay in Chang'an at that time, she would have died at the hands of Yu Wenhua and her brothers.

Seeing that the Empress and Concubine Yang looked wrong, Empress Changsun's personal maid tactfully made everyone retreat, and she also waited far outside the palace. As a qualified personal court lady, she knew that some words should not be listened to. of.

Concubine Yang has personally experienced the pain of the destruction of the country and her family, and her determination is far more tenacious than ordinary people, so after shedding a few tears, she immediately cheered up again. Seeing the weak and helpless Empress Changsun, she felt sad and sad at the same time. Angry, he shouted loudly: "Sister, you let me down so much!"

One sentence attracted Empress Changsun's attention, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Yang in confusion.

"Sister, you are their mother queen, the eldest grandson queen of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you are here, I don't think any of them would dare to make any changes?" The sound just now startled Sizi who was sleeping soundly, and the little girl closed her eyes anxiously at Concubine Yang. I twisted a few times in my arms.Concubine Yang didn't dare to shout angrily anymore, so she could only speak in a low voice.

Concubine Yang's voice was low, but in the ears of Empress Changsun, it was no less than a slap in the face. All she had to think of was that her two sons were fighting for the throne, and she was in an extremely bad mood, and her condition was affected by good times and good times.However, she did not expect that if her mother was gone, then the two sons would not have the last layer of concern, and then the secret fight would definitely turn to the surface, and the fight for the throne would be even more cruel, even really Will go the same way as their father.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun was shocked. No matter what, she still wanted to live. As long as she lived, everything would still be hopeful. I'm not afraid that they can turn upside down.

"Sister, please be bowed by Guanyin's maidservant!" Although she was on the hospital bed, Empress Changsun did not know where the strength came from, she sat up and bowed deeply to Concubine Yang Yingying.Guanyin Maid is her nickname, and she usually only calls herself that when facing Li Shimin.

"Sister, lie down quickly, your body is not well yet!" Concubine Yang hurriedly stood up and wanted to help, but she was still holding her son in her hand, so she had no choice but to accept the gift from Empress Changsun.

"Hehe, it's okay. My sister's words are like a blow to the head. It untied the knot in my heart, and even the spirit is much better." Empress Changsun smiled and lay down again. After untiing the knot, the former calm and dignified The virtuous eldest grandson queen is back again, and her words and deeds are full of the queen's grace and luxury.

"Hehe, my sister is really happy to see her look like this. I believe she will recover in a short time. At that time, I will borrow the cook from Min'er's house and cook all the delicacies from the Five Kings Banquet last night. Let my sister have a good taste..." Concubine Yang was very excited to see that Empress Changsun had regained the courage to live, and she couldn't help talking about her most proud son, especially the Five Kings Banquet last night, which made Concubine Yang even more excited. It is said that the eyebrows are beaming.Capital Datang 28

Although Empress Changsun had already heard about it from Li Zhi and Sizi, how could the two children speak clearly, so from Concubine Yang's mouth, Empress Changsun heard the Five Kings Banquet was even more exciting, and when she heard Li Yin's new song When Mingyue has long and short sentences, I can't help but be amazed, especially the optimistic attitude towards life in the poem, which makes Empress Changsun feel a lot. . ..
