Capital Datang

The next morning, in Wangyun Hall of Taiji Palace, Concubine Yang got up early to prepare breakfast for Li Shimin. Li Shimin stayed with her yesterday. Although they were old couples, when they watched the fireworks last night, they somehow fell into a coma. Their passion, which had been worn away by time, was revived again. Of course, it is inconvenient to elaborate on the endless love affairs of this night, but Concubine Yang, who was combing Li Shimin's hair, still couldn't help but blush slightly when she remembered the beauty of last night.

"My concubine, you and I have been together for more than ten years. You look exactly the same as when you were young, but I am old!" Li Shimin looked at himself in the crystal mirror, and found that although the person in the mirror had black hair, However, thin lines have appeared on the forehead, which is no longer as smooth as when he was young.However, Concubine Yang behind him was just the opposite. Although she was already the mother of two children, she looked like a young lady in terms of figure and appearance, as if time had not left the slightest trace on her body.

"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs day and night, so he is naturally more mature, but he is far from old. Besides, His Majesty is only 37 years old, and he is in the middle of his life. How can you see the slightest aging?" Concubine Yang laughed. , this is not pure consolation, at least in her eyes, Li Shimin is still the accomplished but ambitious king of Qin back then, whenever he returned from the battlefield triumphantly, that white battle robe would fascinate many Huai Chun. girl?

Perhaps Li Shimin's words brought back some memories of the year, Concubine Yang paused her hands while combing her hair, her face turned dark, she suddenly sighed and said: "Oh, Your Majesty, this concubine wants to go out of the palace in two days. "

Li Shimin didn't notice Concubine Yang's abnormality. After hearing Concubine Yang's words, he thought for a while and said, "Oh? Concubine Yang, you are bored in the palace. How about I accompany you for a walk in two days? Liu Ling helps Qinghe The cold drink shop they set up is very good, we can go there and sit." Capital Datang 75

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I heard that Mrs. Sui has been feeling unwell for the past two days, so I want to go and have a look." Concubine Yang said with an ugly expression.The Mrs. Sui Guo mentioned by Concubine Yang refers to Empress Xiao of the former dynasty, that is, Yang Guang's wife, the sister of Song Guogong Xiao Yu, and the nominal grandmother of Li Min and Li Ke brothers.

This Empress Xiao is also a woman with ill-fated fate. She was originally from the royal family of Xiliang, but because her father thought her birth was unknown, she was taken away and raised by others. Later, she finally became Yang Guang's wife. I thought it was the end of all hardships. However, in the Jiangdu coup in the 14th year of Daye, Yang Guang was killed, and Yang's descendants were also slaughtered. After empress Xiao personally used a few bed boards to restrain the corpses of her husband and descendants, she lived a life of homelessness.

First he was held hostage by the rebel army, but fortunately he was rescued by Dou Jiande later. Dou Jiande was a loyal man and regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, so he treated Empress Xiao very politely. Later, as a sister-in-law, she asked Luo Khan to send an envoy to welcome the queen because of her kindness.Dou Jiande didn't dare to refuse, so Empress Xiao went to Turkic with her envoy, and stayed there for more than ten years. It was not until Li Shimin defeated Turkic that she welcomed Empress Xiao back in the fourth year of Zhenguan. An old man in his 60s.Li Shimin treated her very politely and named her Mrs. Sui.Unofficial history said that Li Shimin had something to do with this Empress Xiao, and even regarded her as Zhaorong. The old lady was interested. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't resist the erosion of time.

"Madame Sui? Concubine Yang, you..." Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang in surprise. He knew Concubine Yang's life experience better than anyone else, so he was so shocked when he heard the news.

"Your Majesty, although she was sorry for our mother and daughter back then, she was also responsible for part of the mother's death, but the past is over. After all, she is still my aunt, and after the death of her father and brother, she wandered around. It’s been a lot of trouble to settle down. A few years ago, I couldn’t think about it, so I never went to see her, but now I see her old age is so bleak, and there is no one under her knees, and now she is ill. My daughter , it's time to go and see her." Concubine Yang said with a sad expression, talking about this, she couldn't help hurting herself.

Seeing Concubine Yang's sad look, Li Shimin knew that she was thinking of what happened back then, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. He stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Yang's tenderness with pity on her face. Although Concubine Yang's appearance is weak, she has a soft and flexible personality. Although she has experienced the pain of national destruction and family destruction, she buries all the pain in her heart. She rarely sees Concubine Yang shed tears for this, and only when she is alone with herself, the closest person, will she occasionally It was a bit revealing, but it was precisely because of this that Li Shimin showed special concern for Concubine Yang, because Concubine Yang had almost nothing except herself and her two sons.

"It's good to go and have a look, counting her age, I'm afraid she will be almost 70 years old, maybe one day I will never see her again." Now that Concubine Yang has figured it out, Li Shimin of course didn't stop her, after thinking for a while, she said , "In addition, bring Ke'er and Min'er along, let them meet their grandmother too!"

"Ke'er is fine, but if she sees Min'er, will she..." Concubine Yang hesitated when she heard that Li Shimin asked her to take her two sons.

"Don't worry, although she had to commit herself to Turkic Khan before, in her heart, there was only that person from the beginning to the end. She is so old, and she can think about many things, and she has no time left. I believe she will only be relieved and happy when she sees Yin'er." Li Shimin said in a deep voice, he didn't like Li Yin before, not just because this son was too stubborn, but another one that only a few people knew Hidden secrets also accounted for a large proportion.

"Well, your majesty's analysis is still reasonable, and the concubine will take Ke'er and his brothers there in two days." After listening to Li Shimin's words, Concubine Yang dispelled her worries and bowed Yingying.

Today's morning court is destined to be a farce. As soon as Li Shimin went to court, he received more than a dozen memorials, all of which were about "auspiciousness from heaven" last night. The five-color light in the sky lasted for half an hour, and accompanied by There was a sound of thunder, and people in Chang'an City said that there are gods descending from the sky, which foretells that our Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous and prosperous.However, when Li Shimin told the real scene of last night, the faces of those who presented the memorial were flushed with embarrassment. Unexpectedly, the so-called auspiciousness was just the fireworks that King Liang made to improve Concubine Yang's birthday.

After dawn, the people in Chang'an City also formed gangs and discussed the vision last night. Although they all agreed that it was a god descending to earth, there was ambiguity as to which god descended to earth. Some said it was Wenquxing; It's Wuquxing, and some even say it's Taibaijinxing. Anyway, each theory has its own reasons, and each theory has its own supporters. When different supporters meet together, it is inevitable that there will be some disputes. A bit irritable, and in the end he used his fist to speak when his brain got hot. As a result, the law and order in the entire Chang'an City plummeted.

However, the rumors will not last long. The truth of last night was slowly spread from the houses of Li Yin and the princesses who attended the banquet yesterday. The vision was actually the legendary King Liang. After the fireworks created by the mother to celebrate her birthday, everyone was shocked at first, and then their affection for Li Yin increased greatly. .

The most important thing for Chinese people is filial piety. No matter how bad a person's character is, as long as he can honor his parents, at least this person will not be too disgusting.Li Yin used to have a bad reputation, but after Li Yin's hard work during this period, many people finally changed their impression of him, and now he has done such an amazing act of filial piety, which makes most people think The favorability of Li Yin, the king of Liang, has skyrocketed, and the image of the stubborn king of Liang in the past has gradually disappeared in many people's minds.

The inner house of the Duke of Song’s mansion, the far left of the inner house is a very simple and elegant small courtyard. There are no other buildings in the courtyard except for a main room and two sets of wing rooms on the left and right. The open space in front of the main house is full of flowers and plants. Because the season is wrong, except for a few flowers that bloom in summer, most of the others are green.

In the middle of the courtyard surrounded by flowers and plants, there is a small stone table, and five stone benches are placed around the stone table in the shape of a plum blossom. A charming woman about forty years old is sitting on a stone bench, holding a Looking at a shell-like thing carefully, the beautiful girl beside her was reddish, sitting there quietly, like a delicate and elegant orchid.

"Wen Xin, although this mirror is small, it is a strange thing. That King Liang is really generous. He gave you such a precious gift when we met for the first time." Close them, and said with a smile, the beautiful girl next to her is of course Xiao Wenxin, and the middle-aged woman is holding the gift Li Yin gave Xiao Wenxin yesterday, which is actually a small mirror with a cover on it, when not in use It can be closed like a shell.

Mirrors are not so easy to make. Li Yin polished several crystal mirrors, but in the end they only made two mirrors, one large and one small. It was given to Xiao Wenxin.

Xiao Wenxin blushed even more when she heard the middle-aged woman's words, she just lowered her head and smiled, but she was embarrassed to speak, but Lu Zhu behind her said first: "Madam, this is nothing at all, King Liang gave it to you." His mother's side is several times bigger than this." Capital Datang 75

"Hehe, you little girl, that's a birthday present from King Liang to Concubine Yang, how can you compare it?" The middle-aged woman laughed. At that time, it is like a mature peony flower in full bloom, which makes people feel a beautiful and luxurious temperament, and people can't help but fall in love with it.If you look carefully, you can find that the lady's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xiao Wenxin.

After the middle-aged beautiful woman finished laughing, she suddenly said to Xiao Wenxin with a serious face: "Wen Xin, I think that Liang Wang is indeed a person who can be entrusted to him for life. Although sometimes he acts a little recklessly, but he is very measured. If you can't be the throne, at least you can be a free and easy prince, and I'm relieved that you can marry such a man."

"Mother~" Hearing that the middle-aged beautiful woman was so straightforward, Xiao Wenxin said softly, feeling shy and sweet at the same time. Although Li Yin was the king of Liang, his mother was not satisfied with her marriage. After all, Li Yin in the past The reputation is too bad, and she has even molested herself. As a sensible mother, of course she doesn't want her daughter to marry that kind of person, but unexpectedly, Li Yin is a blessing in disguise. The arrogance and domineering were swept away, and he performed very well in all aspects. Even now, even the stubborn mother has changed her mind, thinking that he is someone who can be trusted.

"Hehe, they are all big girls who are about to get married. What is there to be shy about?" The middle-aged beautiful woman teased. She is Xiao Wenxin's biological mother, who is the concubine of Xiao Yu's second son Xiao Cuo. Her surname is Zhou, so everyone in the Xiao family calls her Aunt Zhou.The only thing that is strange is that although this Aunt Zhou is just a concubine, she has a very noble demeanor. If you see her for the first time, you will definitely think that she is the wife of a wealthy noble family.

"Mother, you like to tease your daughter. She is only engaged, and it's too early to get married." Xiao Wen blushed with shame, but he still did not forget to say that in front of his mother, this indifferent girl showed her true love. A rare little daughter gesture.

"That may be, that Liang Wang is not young, and according to the rules, he has to be an official in other places for a year, but because of his father's favor, he has not been allowed to be an official for a long time, but in my estimation , Li Yin will soon be an official in other places, and before he goes to other places, he will definitely arrange the marriage first, and then my daughter will become a member of their Li family." Zhou said with a smile on her face. She said, but she didn't seem to have any respect for the Li royal family in what she said.

Hearing what her mother said, Xiao Wenxin was also stunned. She knew that although her mother was just a woman who did not leave the hospital, she was extremely accurate in judging people and things. Arrival, then surely there is nothing wrong with it.This news made Xiao Wenxin a little bit at a loss for a while. Although she had a growing affection for Li Yin and was psychologically prepared for their marriage, she didn't expect it to happen so soon?

I had a conversation with my mother, Xiao Wenxin had to leave early because she wanted to learn cooking and housekeeping from Mrs. Wang. She saw that her mother liked the small mirror very much, so she wanted to give the mirror to her mother as a gift, but But it made my mother laugh out loud and even called her a silly girl. The mirror was given to her daughter by Li Yin. How could she accept it as a mother?

After Zhou watched her daughter leave, the smile on her face slowly faded away. After a while, she waved behind her, and immediately a very burly figure came over.This person is about 40 to [-] years old. At first glance, she should be a woman, because no matter how she is dressed, she is similar to an ordinary servant girl, and her breasts are also high, but if you look closely, you will be shocked immediately. He has a single eyebrow that connects together, big eyes with copper bells, a lion nose, and a square mouth. His thick neck is almost as thick as his head, and he is two heads taller than ordinary people. His two thick legs are like two pillars. The sleeves were rolled up high, exposing two arms with intertwined muscles. He walked vigorously, and every step he took could shake the ground.

"Mistress!" The unknown man walked up behind Zhou, and immediately bowed to salute. Although he looked extremely fierce, his voice was soft, with a feminine quality that men could not imitate. Obviously, this man with a beard The person who was more vicious than the Cheng family father and son turned out to be a real woman.

"Humei, Wen Xin is about to get married. I plan to let you and your husband be dowry servants. From now on, you will follow Wen Xin around. If anyone dares to bully her, you must not let her go lightly!" Zhou said lightly. , but the tone is full of the majesty of the superior, which makes people feel irresistible.

"Humei obeys!" The strong woman named Humei didn't have any objections, and immediately clasped her fists to accept the order.

ps: This chapter is really hard work, everyone must have noticed that Xiao Wenxin's life experience is not as simple as it seems on the surface.In addition, don’t get me wrong, these chapters may involve more secrets, but this is the beginning of the protagonist’s formation of a behind-the-scenes force. Of course, the purpose of formation is not for internal fighting, but has a very close relationship with future overseas development. connect.
