"It's hard work Zou Aiqing."

"The minister is late, please forgive the Queen Mother!" Hearing the soft nongnon's voice, Zou Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly pleaded guilty. No matter what, you have to do the whole thing.

"Aiqing guards the last foundation of the Great Sui, and the hard work is high, what is the crime." Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at her with complicated eyes.

"This is the duty of the minister, and I dare not take credit! It is freezing outside the city, and the Queen Mother is invited to enter the city. Zou Yu said with a smile.

Entering the city, a prepared compound, Zou Yu deliberately let people stay away, used to be a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the long-term purchase of the skin of the grassland, the courtyard built here, so it has a special Jiangnan atmosphere.

"King Tang has a heart." Along the way, I saw the Jiangnan-style pavilion courtyard and the water pavilion, and the Empress Dowager Xiao said gratefully.

"The whole city of Jinyang is being built, there are many complicated people, and it is relatively noisy, so I can only ask the Empress Dowager to recuperate again for a period of time." Zou Yu said slightly apologetically.

I don't know if what Zou Yu said is true or not. Empress Dowager Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the emperor is busy with?" ”

"If the Empress Dowager wants to see Your Majesty, I'm afraid she will have to wait until after spring ploughing next year." Zou Yu knew that she wanted to see Yang Yu, after all, it was her own grandson.

"It's... Why is that? Empress Dowager Xiao thought that Yang Yu was imprisoned by Zou Yu, so her face couldn't help but change, and she asked in a slightly panicked manner.

"Your Majesty is on an expedition under a pseudonym, and he is currently governing several county towns in Shuozhou." Zou Yu explained with a smile.

"Expedition? Yu'er is so small, how can he go to the battlefield? Empress Dowager Xiao said in a whisper, she thought that Zou Yu was deliberately letting Yang Yu go to death, so her heart was already cold.

"The Empress Dowager can rest assured, there is no danger, Your Majesty just followed to see and broaden your horizons; Governing the local area can also understand the suffering of the people. Zou Yu explained with a dry smile.

He couldn't say that he was afraid that Yang Yu would find out that his mother was pregnant and deliberately spend it.

"It's... King Tang is really well-intentioned, and the mourning family is grateful. Empress Dowager Xiao heard that this was Zou Yu cultivating Yang Yu, and couldn't help but say with emotion. At this moment, Zou Yu became a minister in her heart who finally did his best for the imperial court, had flexible wrists, and became a dignified minister.

"The Empress Dowager has won the award, the journey is tiring, you rest first, and tomorrow the minister will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" Zou Yu saw that he had settled down, looked at the baby who was already sleeping in the hands of the maid, and left with interest.

"Alas! This Taiyuan has changed a lot! After Zou Yu left, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed faintly.

"Zou Changfeng has only been in control of the state for a year, and Taiyuan has undergone such a big change! That's amazing! Looking at the tall glass mirror next to her, Empress Dowager Xiao reached out and touched the figure inside and continued.

"This is all the first emperor's discernment!" A slightly old eunuch next to him said.

"The first emperor and he have not met, how can he say that it was just a formality back then." Empress Dowager Xiao sat on the high chair and touched the armrest.

"On this road, the people are building houses, the roads are wide and paved with stones, do you have any complaints about these projects?" Empress Dowager Xiao continued to ask.

"Back to the Queen Mother, those brick houses are all built by the people for their own families; As for the road mixed with clay and stone, the government also paid the wages, so the people did not complain. The old eunuch replied with a bow.

"Alas! If the first emperor understood this truth, he would not be where he is today. Empress Dowager Xiao sighed again.

"These are all those families, in addition to oppressing the people, it is the deduction of food that makes the people miserable." The old eunuch said angrily.

"Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that the first emperor abused the people's power!"

At this time, the servant brought the food, and looking at the table full of dishes, the old eunuch smiled and said: "It seems that this Tang King is really loyal, and he has specially prepared so many fresh dishes. ”

"Xiao Zhong, you can also sit down and eat." Thinking of the hard life she has lived in the past year, Empress Dowager Xiao can't help but feel sour.

Yu Wenhua didn't say anything, he almost killed the Yang family, not because he was worried about the identity of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he was worried about angering the Xiao family, and he didn't know how he would treat her. Even so, life wasn't much better, just barely fed.

It's the same with Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande also wants to send her to Princess Yicheng of the Turks to curry favor with the Turks, but the Turks have lost a lot of strength now, which makes him hesitate.

Such a table, fragrant dishes, Empress Dowager Xiao has almost forgotten how long she hasn't seen it, after all, with Yang Guang, the food she eats, compared to Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande, I don't know how much.

Therefore, Zou Yu was just a simple arrangement, which made Empress Dowager Xiao's heart warm.

"Nope! No! Minions are not hungry! Xiao Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Sit down and eat! There are so many, the mourning family can't finish it, this year's loss you don't give up, take care of the mourning family, don't say the hardships, and be scared. Empress Dowager Xiao pointed to the opposite side and said.

"That's what an old slave should do." Xiao Zhong touched his tears and said.

"Eat, I don't know when it's a head this day, if you can eat a good meal, just eat it." Empress Dowager Xiao said with a faint smile.

"When"! "Queen Mother, are you saying that Zou Changfeng is going to be unfavorable to you?" Xiao Zhong's face changed, his chopsticks fell to the ground, and he asked in shock.

"That's not it, I'm an old woman, what have any good plans, just sigh."

"I'm scared to death of the old slave." Xiao Zhong patted his chest and said.

Eating without saying a word, Empress Dowager Xiao fully showed her good quality, eating elegantly and delicately, even if the food tasted very good, she only nodded slightly.

Of course, Xiao Zhong didn't dare to eat at the same table with Empress Dowager Xiao, so he pulled some of the dishes in front of him into a bowl, and then brought them aside to eat.

"It's a delicious and new dish that I've never seen before." Empress Dowager Xiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped her mouth elegantly, and then got up and sighed.

"How is this dish? Did you know? Xiao Zhong, who had already finished eating, called the maid and asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is called stir-frying, I heard that it is a new method created by the prime minister." The maid replied respectfully.

"What about this? Such a precious glass mirror, how can the prime minister put it here? Empress Dowager Xiao pointed to the mirror and asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is called a glass mirror, although it is also worth a lot, but in our place, it is not too expensive, and every household basically has one or two small ones. This one is just big. The maid replied.

"Isn't that precious? Every family has it? Where are you from? Xiao Zhong asked in surprise.
