Chapter 613: Meet Empress Xiao
After resting for a night, Li Xiu got up in good spirits, Yuechan also prepared breakfast at this time, Li Xiu originally wanted to send Yuechan back to Chang'an, but after living at the border for a while, he found that taking Yuechan with him should be a very wise decision, at least he didn't have to worry about eating or changing clothes every day.

Li Xiu has always had high requirements for food, but when he is at the border, most of the materials need to be supplied to the army first, so his food standard has also been lowered, but no matter what kind of ingredients, after Yuechan's skillful cooking, it will become very delicious, for example, today's breakfast is sweet and thick sweet potato porridge, and there are a few side dishes he likes, which makes people can't help but have a great appetite.
After breakfast, Li Xiu thought that he was going to visit the legendary Empress Xiao today, so he also changed into a formal suit, and then came to the Sui Palace, where Zhao Deyan and his wife lived yesterday, and after hearing the news of Li Xiu's arrival, they also immediately went out to greet him, and then invited him to enter the main hall to see Empress Xiao.
When Li Xiu stepped into the main hall, he immediately saw the white-haired old woman sitting in the main hall, although he had already known that Empress Xiao was old, and it was impossible to be as beautiful as in the legend of wild history, but when he saw this old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"In Xia Li Xiu, I have seen ...... This one...... Old Madam Yang! Li Xiu made a mistake when he saluted, because for the Tang Dynasty, the former Sui had been destroyed, so it was impossible for him to call the other party the queen anymore, and finally hesitated for a while to be commensurate with Mrs. Yang.
"The horse is polite, the old body has long heard that the horse is young, but it is talented, even the grassland people are very in awe of the horse, and today I see that it is really a young talent!" Empress Xiao didn't care about the title at all, but looked Li Xiu up and down with great interest, and finally praised it.
"Ahem, the old lady is polite!" In the face of Empress Xiao's praise, Li Xiu was also a little embarrassed.
"By the way, is Xiuning's body okay, do you have any children?" At this moment, I heard Empress Xiao suddenly ask a question that surprised Li Xiu very much.
"The old lady knows Xiuning?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then asked a little incredulously.
"Hehe, naturally I recognize it, her father once took her into the palace, I saw that although this little girl was weak in appearance, she was quite heroic between her eyebrows, but I didn't expect her to become a good help for her father in the future!" Empress Xiao smiled and nodded at this time, but when she talked about the things of the year, there was a little imperceptible bitterness in the smile on her face.
Li Xiu also reacted immediately when he heard this, Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, and it is normal to be able to bring their children into the palace, so it is not surprising that Empress Xiao recognized Princess Pingyang, maybe she has even seen Li Shimin.
The facts also proved that Li Xiu's conjecture was correct, and then Empress Xiao and Li Xiu started a family routine, not only asked about Li Yuan, but also asked about Li Shimin, but did not ask Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and their two brothers, it seems that this old prince is also very cautious, knowing that there are some things that cannot be touched with her current status.
After chatting for a while, Empress Xiao suddenly asked Zhao Deyan and others to leave the hall, saying that there were some things to discuss with Li Xiu alone, and Li Xiu also had some guesses about this, and finally saw Empress Xiao said with a solemn face: "Don Ma, I heard Deyan say before, you promise that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not embarrass us, is this matter true?" ā
Li Xiu knew that Empress Xiao would ask this question, so he was not surprised, and nodded immediately: "For this matter, the old lady can rest assured, Your Majesty will never embarrass you and your family, in fact, I can show the old lady the proof." ā
"Huh? How to prove it? Empress Xiao couldn't help but look at Li Xiu in surprise when she heard Li Xiu's words, unless it was Li Shimin who personally guaranteed the safety of their ancestors and grandchildren, she really couldn't think of any way for Li Xiu to prove this?
Seeing that Empress Xiao didn't believe it, Li Xiu also smiled slightly, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the other party, and motioned for Empress Xiao to open it. Empress Xiao was also a little strange at this time, and immediately took the letter and read it, but she showed a surprised expression, because it actually said "Sister Enlightenment" on it, but she thought about it, and she couldn't think of anyone who would call herself sister?
With doubts in her heart, Empress Xiao slowly opened the letter, and when she saw the content of the letter, her face immediately changed, and she seemed to be very nervous, but then it eased down, and when she saw the back of the letter, she became very excited, and even her hands began to tremble.
"This ...... It's true? After Empress Xiao finished reading the contents of the letter, she looked at Li Xiu in disbelief and asked, this news shocked and surprised her.
"Yes, the county lord of Guanghua is still alive, and her daughter and son are also alive, but for some reasons, she now recognizes her son, but as long as this war is over, it is estimated that their mother and son will be able to get together, and His Majesty also knows about the county lord of Guanghua and their mother and son, so it should be able to make the old lady feel at ease to return to Chang'an, right?" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
The letter in the hands of Empress Xiao was written to her by the county lord of Guanghua, the rebellion in Jiangdu, and thanks to Queen Xiao's decisiveness, the mother and son of the county lord of Guanghua escaped, for the county lord of Guanghua, she was also very grateful for the kindness of Queen Xiao, so I heard that Li Xiu and Ma Ye might bring back Empress Xiao this time, so I wrote a letter, which was originally carried by Ma Ye, but Ma Ye had some things in Xiangcheng and couldn't come with Li Xiu, so he handed over the letter to him and asked him to transfer it on his behalf.
"Lord Gwanghwa?" Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar title, Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, "Yes, she is Li Yuan's niece, the cousin of the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally the lord of a country. ā
When it came to the end, Queen Xiao couldn't help but shed tears of excitement, although everyone in the world hated Yang Guang, but as a wife, she couldn't, and the relationship between their husband and wife was also very good, her biggest wish over the years was to take care of Yang Zhengdao's grandson, in order to let Yang Guang leave a bloodline, but she didn't expect Yang Guang to have a son alive, even if the other party was not her son, but she was already very content.
"By the way, Sister Guanghua, is she okay now, how are the two children?" After Empress Xiao was excited, she once again asked about the situation of the county lord of Guanghua. However, this made Li Xiu hesitate a little, and he didn't know if he should tell the matter of the marriage between the county lord of Guanghua and Ma Ye?
