Early the next morning, in the Wangyun Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Concubine Yang got up early and prepared breakfast for Li Shimin. Li Shimin stayed at her place yesterday. Although the two of them were an old couple, they didn't know why they were separated when they were watching the fireworks last night.

Their passion, which had been worn away by time, was rekindled. Of course, it is not convenient to elaborate on the endless romance that night. However, Concubine Yang, who was combing Li Shimin's hair, could not help but feel a slight blush on her face when she thought of the charming scene last night.

"My beloved concubine, you and I have been together for more than ten years. You still look exactly the same as when you were young, but I am older!" Li Shimin looked at himself in the crystal mirror and found that although the person in the mirror had dark hair,

However, fine lines have appeared on his forehead, and it is no longer as smooth as it was when he was young. However, Concubine Yang behind him is just the opposite. Although she is the mother of two children, she looks like a beauty in both figure and appearance.

In general, it seemed as if time had not left the slightest trace on her body.

"Your Majesty is worried about state affairs day and night, so he naturally appears to be more mature, but he is far from being an old man. Moreover, Your Majesty is only 37 years old and is in the prime of his life. How can he show any trace of his old age?" Concubine Yang said with a smile.

, this is not a simple consolation, at least in her eyes, Li Shimin is still the glorious but ambitious King of Qin back then. Whenever he returns triumphantly from the battlefield, the white shirt he wears also fascinates many Huaichun.

Girl?

Perhaps because Li Shimin's words brought back some memories of that year, Concubine Yang stopped combing her hair, her face turned gloomy, and she suddenly sighed and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, I want to leave the palace in two days.

"

Li Shimin didn't notice anything unusual about Concubine Yang. After hearing Concubine Yang's words, he thought for a moment and said, "Oh? Concubine Yang, you are bored in the palace. How about I accompany you for a walk in two days? Liu Lang helped Qinghe

The cold drink shop they opened is very good, we can go there and sit."

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I heard that Mrs. Sui Guo has been feeling unwell these past two days, so I wanted to take a look." Concubine Yang said with an ugly face. The Mrs. Sui Guo in Concubine Yang's mouth refers to the former Empress Xiao, who was also

She is the wife of Yang Guang, the biological sister of Song Guogong Xiao Yu, and the nominal grandmother of brothers Li Min and Li Ke.

This Empress Xiao was also a woman with an ill-fated fate. She was originally born in the royal family of Xiliang, but because her father believed that her birth was unknown, she was taken away and raised by others. Later, she finally became Yang Guang's wife. She thought it was a blessing in disguise.

, but in the Jiangdu coup in the 14th year of Daye, Yang Guang was killed and all the descendants of the Yang family were slaughtered. After Empress Xiao used a few bed boards to collect the bodies of her husband and descendants, she lived a life of wandering.

First she was held hostage by the rebels, but fortunately she was later rescued by Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande was a loyal man and regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, so he was very polite to Queen Xiao. However, at that time, Princess Yicheng, the wife of the Turkic Chuluo Khan, heard about Queen Xiao's situation.

Later, as her sister-in-law, she was kind-hearted and asked Luo Khan to send an envoy to welcome the queen. Dou Jiande did not dare to disobey, so Empress Xiao went to the Turks with her envoy and stayed there for more than ten years until Li Shimin defeated the Turks.

It was only in the fourth year of Zhenguan that he welcomed Empress Xiao back, but by this time Empress Xiao was already an old man in her sixties. Li Shimin was very polite to her and named her Mrs. Sui. Unofficial history says that Li Shimin still had relations with this woman.

She had any relationship with Empress Xiao, and even accepted her as Zhaorong. This is nonsense. Even if Li Shimin had admired Empress Xiao before, he would not be interested in an old lady in her sixties. After all,

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot withstand the erosion of time.

"Mrs. Sui Guo? 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, and she even had to bear part of the responsibility for my mother's death, but the past has passed. After all, she is still my aunt, and after the death of her father and brother, she was wandering around without a home.

She has gone through a lot of hardships in settling down. A few years ago, I couldn't get over it, so I never went to see her. But now that she is in such a miserable state, with no one around her, and now she is ill, I, as a daughter,

, it’s time to go and see her." Concubine Yang said with a sad expression. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but hurt herself.

Seeing Concubine Yang's sad look, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he knew that Concubine Yang was remembering what happened back then. He stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Yang's soft hand with pity on his face. Although Concubine Yang looked weak on the surface, she had a flexible personality.

Although she has experienced the pain of losing her country and her family, she buries all the pain in her heart. She rarely sees Concubine Yang shed tears because of this. She only occasionally sheds tears when she is alone with the person closest to her.

It was a bit revealing, but it was precisely because of this that Li Shimin showed special concern for Concubine Yang, because apart from himself and his two sons, Concubine Yang had almost nothing.

"It's okay to go and see her. Calculating her age, I'm afraid she's almost seventy years old. She might not be able to see her again one day." Since Concubine Yang had figured it out herself, Li Shimin certainly didn't stop her. After thinking about it for a while, she continued.

He said, "In addition, bring Ke'er and Min'er with you, so that they can also meet their grandmother!"

"That's fine with Ke'er, but if she is allowed to see Min'er, will it happen..." Concubine Yang suddenly hesitated when she heard Li Shimin asked her to take her two sons.

"Don't worry, although she had to commit herself to the Turkic Khan before, in her heart, there was only that person from beginning to end. She is so old, she can think of many things, and she doesn't have much time left.

More, I believe she will only feel gratified and happy when she sees Min's son." Li Shimin said in a deep voice. He didn't like Li Min before, not just because this son was too naughty, but also because there was another son that only a few people knew about.

Secrets also play a big part.

"Well, Your Majesty's analysis is reasonable. I will take Ke'er and his brothers there in two days." After hearing what Li Shimin said, Concubine Yang gave up her worries and bowed Yingying.

Today's morning court meeting was destined to be a farce. As soon as Li Shimin went to court, he received more than a dozen memorials, all talking about the "auspicious fortune descending from the sky" last night. The five-colored light in the sky lasted for less than half an hour, and was accompanied by

There was a sound of thunder, and everyone in Chang'an City said that there were gods from the sky descending to earth, which indicated that the Tang Dynasty would be more prosperous and powerful. Anyway, the memorials were written in any way they sounded. But when Li Shimin told the real scene of last night, he immediately

The faces of those who presented the memorial turned red with embarrassment. They did not expect that the so-called auspiciousness was just a fireworks that the King of Liang ordered to improve in order to celebrate Concubine Yang's birthday.

After dawn, the people in Chang'an City also gathered together to discuss the vision last night. Although they all agreed that gods descended to earth, there was ambiguity as to which immortal descended to earth. Some said it was Wenquxing; some said it was Wenquxing;

It's Wu Quxing, and some even say it's Taibai Jinxing. Anyway, each theory has its own reasons. Each theory has its own supporters. When different supporters meet together, there will naturally be disputes. Some people can't argue with others and have tempers.

The more violent ones ended up talking with their fists when their brains got hot. As a result, the security of the whole city of Chang'an plummeted, which made the Jinwu Guards suffer a lot, and their grasping hands became weak.

However, rumors will not last long. From the house of Li Min and several princesses who attended the banquet yesterday, the truth about last night slowly spread. When they heard the vision, it turned out to be the legendary King Liang. In order to give

After her mother set up fireworks to celebrate her birthday, everyone was shocked at first, and then their impression of Li Min 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 Min used to have a bad reputation, but after this period of time, Li Min's

After hard work, many people finally changed their impression of him. Now he has done such an amazing act of filial piety, which makes most people's favor towards Li Min, the Liang Wang, skyrocketed, while the former naughty one

The incomparable image of King Liang has gradually disappeared in the minds of many people.

The inner residence of the Duke of Song Dynasty. On the far left side of the inner residence is a very simple and elegant small courtyard. Except for a main room and two suites on the left and right, there are no other buildings in the courtyard. 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 them are green.

In the middle of the courtyard surrounded by flowers and plants, there is a small stone table. There are five stone benches in a plum blossom shape around the stone table. A charming woman about forty years old is sitting on a stone bench, holding a cup in her hand.

He was looking at a shell-like thing carefully. The beautiful girl next to him had a reddish complexion and was sitting there quietly, like a beautiful and elegant orchid.

"Wen Xin, although this mirror is small, it is still a rare item. Prince Liang is so generous. He gave you such a precious gift for the first time we met." The middle-aged woman who still retains her charm put the mirror in her hand.

He closed it and said with a smile, of course the beautiful girl next to him is Xiao Wenxin, and what the middle-aged woman is holding is the gift Li Min gave Xiao Wenxin yesterday. In fact, it is just a small mirror with a cover on it. When not in use,

It can be closed, like a shell.

Mirrors are not that easy to make. Li Min polished several crystal mirrors in total, but in the end they only made two mirrors, one large and one small. The larger one was given to Concubine Yang as a birthday gift, while the smaller one was given to Concubine Yang as a birthday gift.

Then he gave it 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 was embarrassed to speak. However, Luzhu behind her said first: "Madam, this is nothing at all. Prince Liang gave it to

His mother's side is several times bigger than this one."

"Haha, you little girl, that was the birthday gift given by Prince Liang to Concubine Yang, how can you compare it to that?" the middle-aged woman said with a smile. Although this woman is also over forty years old, her appearance is extremely beautiful, especially her smile.

When you stand up, it is like a mature peony flower in full bloom, making people feel a beautiful and luxurious temperament, which makes people fall in love with her. If you look carefully, you can find the lady's eyebrows.

It is actually somewhat similar to Xiao Wenxin.

After the middle-aged beautiful woman finished laughing, she suddenly said to Xiao Wenxin with a serious look on her face: "Wenxin, I think that Liang Wang is indeed a person who can be entrusted to him for life. Although sometimes he does act a little recklessly, he is very measured. Even in the future, even if

If you can't hold the throne, you can at least be a carefree prince. If you can marry such a man, I will feel relieved."

"Mother~" Hearing the middle-aged beautiful woman being so frank, Xiao Wenxin said softly, feeling shy and sweet at the same time. Although Li Min was the Prince of Liang, her mother was not satisfied with her marriage. After all, Li Min was the former one.

She had such a bad reputation and had even teased her. As a wise mother, she certainly didn’t want her daughter to marry that kind of person. However, she didn’t expect that Li Min was a blessing in disguise. After the brain injury, she seemed to be a different person. Not only did she change her previous

His arrogance and arrogance have all been wiped out, and he has performed extremely well in all aspects. Even his mother, who has always been stubborn, has changed her mind and thinks that he is someone who can be entrusted to her.

"Haha, they are all big girls who are about to get married, what is there to be shy about?" the middle-aged beautiful woman joked. She is Xiao Wenxin's biological mother, and 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. But what is strange is that although this Aunt Zhou is just a concubine, her demeanor is full of nobility. If you meet her for the first time, you will definitely think that she is a concubine.

She is the wife of a wealthy noble family.

"Mom, you just like to make fun of your daughter. She is just engaged and it is too early for her to get married." Xiao Wen blushed with embarrassment, but still did not forget to retort. In front of his mother, this indifferent girl revealed herself.

A rare gesture of a little daughter.

"Maybe, the King of Liang is not young anymore, and according to the rules, he has to serve as an official in another place for a year. It's just because of his father's favor that he has not been allowed to serve. But in my estimation

, Li Min will soon be appointed as an official in another place. Before he goes to other places, he will definitely get married in advance. By then, my daughter will become a member of their Li family." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile on her face.

She said, but her words seemed to have no respect for the Li family.

Xiao Wen was stunned when she heard what her mother said. She knew that although her mother was just a woman who never left the house, she was extremely accurate in judging people and things. Since she said that she and Li Min were getting married soon,

Come, then there will definitely be nothing wrong. This news made Xiao Wenxin feel a little at a loss for a while. Although her affection for Li Min was growing day by day, and she was mentally prepared for their marriage, she did not expect it to happen so soon?

After chatting with her mother, Xiao Wenxin had to leave early because she had to learn from Mrs. Wang about cooking and housework. She saw that her mother liked the small mirror very much, so she wanted to give the mirror to her mother. However,

But it made the mother laugh and call her a silly girl. That mirror was given by Li Min to his daughter. How could she, a mother, accept it?

After Mrs. Zhou watched her daughter leave, the smile on her face slowly dissipated. After a while, she waved behind her, and immediately a very burly figure came over. This man was about thirty or forty years old, fierce.

At first glance, she must be a woman, because no matter how she is dressed, she is similar to an ordinary servant girl, and her breasts are also high. However, if you look closely, you will be shocked immediately, and you will see that this person has a long line of hair that is connected together.

He has eyebrows, big copper bell eyes, a lion nose, a square mouth, a thick neck that is almost as thick as his head, and is two heads taller than an ordinary person. His two thick legs are like two pillars, and his sleeves are rolled up high, exposing his two legs.

The muscles of his arms were intricately knotted, and he walked with great force, shaking the ground with every step he took.

"Mother!" This unknown person walked up behind Mrs. Zhou and immediately bowed and saluted. Although she looked extremely ferocious, her voice was very soft, with a feminine quality that men could not imitate. Obviously, this person had a beard.

A person even more vicious than the Cheng family father and son turned out to be a genuine woman.

"Tiger sister, Wen Xin is about to get married. I plan to let you and your husband be the dowry servants. From now on, you will follow Wen Xin. If anyone dares to bully her, he will not be lenient!" Zhou said lightly.

, but the tone was full of the majesty of a superior, making people feel irresistible.

"Tiger Girl obeys the order!" The strong woman named Tiger Girl had no objections and immediately accepted the order with clasped fists.

PS: This chapter was really hard to code. I think everyone can see that Xiao Wenxin’s life experience is not as simple as it seems. Also, don’t get me wrong. These chapters may involve more secrets, but this is the protagonist.

The beginning of the formation of the behind-the-scenes forces. The purpose of the formation is of course not for internal fighting, but to have an extremely close connection with future overseas development.
