When Wang Fubao, the general of Caozhou, heard that he had captured the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Sui Dynasty and the last emperor of Jiangnan, Yang Qi, and had received the news of the jade seal of the country, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to put them under house arrest. and personally escorted them to Dou Jiande's national capital - Le Shou.

"Madame, ma'am! Wang Fubao sent a letter, the queen and grandson of the first emperor appeared in Caozhou, and the jade seal of the country also appeared, it seems that this is God's grace to my Great Xia Kingdom! As long as the Empress Xiao and the emperor's grandson are there, plus the jade seal of the country, I can justifiably receive Zen and ascend the throne, and then I will crown you as the queen. ”

"Husband! This Empress Xiao and the heirloom jade seal have come into our hands, on the one hand, it is a gift from God, but on the other hand, it is also our crisis! "The Cao family is the young lady of the Cao family of the Shandong family, and the twelfth grandson of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei during the Three Kingdoms. Since she was a child, she was smart and studious, and she was very helpful in the process of Dou Jiande's army, and she coped with many crises, and Dou Jiande called her a female Zhuge many times.

"Oh! Madame, isn't that a blessing! Mrs. Cao held Dou Jiande's hand and comforted him:

"Husband, back then, when the Zhou family was immoral, the princes of the world asked many times how heavy Jiuding was, but in the end, only Qin got Jiuding, do you know why?" Dou Jiande smiled a little.

"Madame is testing me again, you don't know, I'm a martial artist, in addition to dancing knives and guns, I can only write my own name, and I hope Madame will solve my doubts." Mrs. Cao smiled.

"Back then, the Zhou family lost control of the world, the princes sat big, attacked everywhere, all wanted to get Jiuding, in order to become the king's industry, now this Xiao Hou, Yang Qi and the jade seal of the country are like the nine tripods that symbolized the orthodoxy of the world, everyone wants to take it, it depends on whether this strength is enough. Now although we are invincible in Hebei and Shandong, but there are still many separatist forces in the world, and Luo Yi of Youzhou has always been orthodox to the Great Sui, and refuses to belong to us, the husband has sent people to surrender many times, but they have been refused, and both of their brothers are fierce generals in the world, once there is news of Empress Xiao, it is likely to raise troops again, so this Empress Xiao and Yang Qi are also a harm! Hearing Mrs. Cao say this, Dou Jiande's brows began to tighten.

"According to Mrs. Nai's meaning, we will 。。。。。。 Empress Xiao and Yang Qi And we will hide the words of this jade seal and take it out when the time is right. As he spoke, Dou Jiande made a murderous gesture on his neck, revealing a cruel murderous intent in his eyes. Mrs. Cao pressed Dou Jiande's hands:

"The husband is wrong again, if we kill them, then who will prove that the heirloom jade seal in our hands is true at that time."

"Madame Takami!" Dou Jiande gave Mrs. Cao a thumbs up.

Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi finally came to Le Shou.

"The courtier Xiao brought her grandson Yang Qi, nephew Laiheng, and Laiji to see King Dou and Mrs. Cao!" Hearing the voice of Empress Dowager Xiao, Dou Jiande's heart immediately felt numb.

"Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't have to be polite, please raise your head, come on! Sit! ”

"Thank you!" When the Empress Dowager Xiao raised her head, Dou Jiande was stunned on the spot, the Empress Dowager Xiao was wearing blue coarse cloth clothes and an ordinary purple scarf, although she was over forty years old, her skin was like jade, tender and white as snow, especially the snow-white neck and the shadowy chest, plus she had been a princess and queen for many years, her body exuded a unique royal authority and nobility, coupled with her unique Jiangnan soft language, so that Dou Jiande's eyes have never left the body of the Empress Dowager Xiao. Because Mrs. Cao has always taken Emperor Wen of Sui's queen Dugu as an example, there are no young and beautiful maids in the house, only a group of stout servants, Dou Jiande originally asked Mrs. Cao many times for the reason, but Mrs. Cao was defeated by Yang Guangxi, and Dou Jiande's career has just started, and he can't be greedy for women, and he wants to prevaricate in the name of being in peace.

"Gnaw nibble!"

"Ahh Ma'am, are you feeling unwell? ”

"I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just that some people's souls have been hooked, no, summoning the souls of others!" Dou Jiande heard the vinegar in Mrs. Cao's words, and smiled unconsciously.

"The Queen Mother has worked hard all the way, and she has come to take the Queen Mother and the last emperor to the side hall to bathe and rest. A banquet was held in the evening to wash the dust for the Queen Mother. ”

"The courtiers thanked Madame, and the courtiers retired!" As Empress Dowager Xiao retreated, Dou Jiande slowly put away his greedy gaze.

"Ahh Madam! Now that the military affairs are busy, the husband will leave first, and when the banquet comes, the husband will come again, and the lady will please bother more. ”

"Husband, go quickly, military affairs are important!" Looking at the back of Dou Jiande leaving, Mrs. Cao's face immediately changed to a layer of snow. Mrs. Cao's confidant, Prchets, stepped forward:

"Madam, according to the slave maid, this Xiao family is a goblin who went down to earth, first killed her husband, and now she has come to seduce our king, and the slave and maid also saw it just now, and the king seems to have thought about this widow."

"Mother Pu, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, you have to be more careful with me at today's banquet, if you can't do it, let her disappear."

"The slave understands." In the evening, Empress Dowager Xiao changed into a plain dress made of snow-white muslin, coiled her hair into a small, and put a white paper flower on it, and the whole person looked white and elegant.

"Queen Mother, today is for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, why don't you wear it more festively?"

"The Great King! The courtier's husband has died, according to the palace and folk etiquette, the courtiers are still in the filial piety period, because of the chaos of the war, the situation is not good, the filial piety clothes have to be collected, and now the courtiers have to be merciful by the king, can be accommodated, so the filial piety clothes will be taken out again, if there is any rudeness, please forgive the king and the mother. Empress Dowager Xiao is a mother, and she can be so flattered by a person who has been a queen, Mrs. Cao is very happy in her heart, but in Dou Jiande's eyes, it is a different artistic conception.

As the saying goes, men should be pretty, a body of soap, women should be pretty, and filial piety should be brought to them, which is really good, if you can report such a beautiful woman in your arms and have a good soul, how good it would be! Dou Jiande's thoughts, Mrs. Cao didn't notice, but she didn't escape Mama Pu's eyes, she sank her face and glanced at one of the attendants beside her, who nodded secretly and went down.

"King, now that the guests have arrived, why don't you give an order to hold a banquet!"

"Madame is right, come here, set up a banquet!" With Dou Jiande's order, the attendants put the finished chicken, duck and fish on the table, Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi, Laiheng, and Laiji brothers have been in exile for many days, and it is already good to have a cold steamed bun every day, and the birds are fading out of the mouth, especially Yang Qi, holding a chicken leg in one hand, and a piece of braised pork with chopsticks in the other, and there are oil stains everywhere on his clothes, he choked while eating, picked up the wine glass and drank it, coughed up the tears spicily, looked at the people around him and only laughed secretly, Mrs. Cao scolded:

"The Queen Mother smiled, these people are all martial artists in the army, and they don't understand the rules of officialdom, I hope Niangniang will forgive me." Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said:

"Mother's forgiveness! This child is still young, plus he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he has not suffered much, and he has been wronged by his displacement these days, so he has no control. Although Yang Qi was young, after many days of training by Empress Dowager Xiao, he also knew that people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, so he quickly ran to Dou Jiande and Mrs. Cao and knelt down, deliberately turning his voice a little milky:

"Qi'er is young and ignorant, I hope that Lord Dou and Niangniang will forgive their sins!" Mrs. Cao and Dou Jiande have been married for many years, and they have never had children. Mama Pu interjected on the side:

"Madam, I'm afraid that the nobles can't get used to drinking this shoddy wine, the first slave maid received a few pots of fruit wine from the countryside, which is just right for a woman to drink, it is better for the slave and maid to let people bring it immediately." Mrs. Cao agreed. The attendant brought four glasses of fruit wine on a wooden plate, Dou Jiande and Mrs. Cao each took one glass, and gave the remaining two cups to Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Qi.

"The Queen Mother, please!" Yang Qi picked it up and was about to drink it, but Empress Dowager Xiao stopped Yang Qi.

"Please ask King Dou and Niangniang to forgive their sins, the courtiers are still in the filial piety period and can't drink alcohol."

"Ahh At this time, it is normal for people, but this good wine cannot be wasted, madam, let me give my husband some precepts today! With Mrs. Cao's approval, Dou Jiande asked the attendant to bring him the wine, and when the attendant heard Dou Jiande's words, his hands shook unnaturally, and he slowly walked towards Dou Jiande.

"The bastard thing who doesn't have long eyes, he will lose face in front of the king and his wife, so don't hurry up." The attendant hurried down as if he had been pardoned. Dou Jiande is a rough man, there is no suspicion of anything else, only a trace of unwillingness in Mama Pu's eyes. After the banquet dispersed, Mrs. Cao called her younger brother Cao Dan in front of her:

"Brother! You also saw it at the banquet today, the Xiao family is coquettish, although your brother-in-law has been in love with me and my wife all these years, but after all, he is a man, I originally wanted to use the excuse to get rid of the Xiao family at the banquet, who knew that he avoided it. You give me an idea to see how you can get that fox out of here. At the banquet, Cao Dan saw the appearance of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and he also had some thoughts in his heart, but now it is what his own sister ordered, and he knows which is more important.

"Sister! This poisonous thing must not be done, then Empress Xiao is not a weak market, it is not good to make things bigger, and I am afraid that my brother-in-law will backfire at that time, and now it seems that there is only one way to go. ”

"What's the idea!"

"Secretly send someone to spread the news of Empress Xiao in our hands, and then the separatist forces of Fengsui in the world will definitely send people to the court to ask for it, we can ask for more money and food benefits from it, and second, we can also solve my sister's worries." Mrs. Cao listened to her younger brother Cao Dan's words, and her heart fell into deep thought.

"Little brother, your plan is very good, but I'm afraid of arousing King Dou's suspicion."

"Hey! It is his responsibility for Wang Fubao to escort the loss of secrets after taking Empress Xiao and Yang Qi, and it is our business. Wang Fubao is the first general under Dou Jiande, and he is deeply relied on by Dou Jiande, Cao Dan is very jealous of him in his heart, which gives him the opportunity to take eye medicine Cao Dan will definitely not let go.

Le Shou Dou Jiande partial hall, Lai Heng came to the front of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

"! At the banquet today, Weichen saw it, it was really murderous! Empress Dowager Xiao nodded.

"Heng'er, we have to be more careful in the future, in addition, I just looked at a vacant land in the yard, measured it, it is exactly one acre and three points, tomorrow you go to the market to buy some vegetable seeds, we will take care of our own one acre and three points of land, we don't care about other things."
