Yang Yuanqing wrote a short message, telling Du Ruhui about the unexpected visit of the Dugu family, and asked him to handle the matter with Dugu Lei. ”

The soldiers took the letter and left, and Yang Yuanqing found out that it had taken nearly an hour for him to deal with the affairs of the Dugu family, and he originally said that he would let his wife wait for a cup of tea, but ......

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, got up and walked towards the inner house, Jiang Peihua's courtyard is in the westernmost part of the inner house, it is a small courtyard full of bamboo, and the environment is quiet and elegant.

Yang Yuanqing just walked to the gate of the courtyard, but a black shadow rushed over, and suddenly found someone in front of her, she wanted to restrain the momentum, but she stumbled under her feet, and almost collided with him.

Immediately an exclamation sounded, it was a girl's voice, Yang Qing reacted very quickly, dodged the other party's imminent collision in a flash, but grabbed the other party's arm, "Be careful!" ”

The other party was wearing a thin silk dress, and through the thin long skirt, he could feel the other party's delicate arms, and the delicate and extremely elastic skin unique to the girl.

Holding the other party's figure, a faint fragrance entered his nose, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly opened his hand, he knew who it was, and said apologetically: "The road is slippery, be careful." ”

In the dark, Yang Fangxin's cheeks were hot, she didn't say a word, turned around and went back to her house, she originally planned to go to the back garden to enjoy the night laurel, but at this moment she changed her mind.

Yang Yuanqing looked at her and walked away quickly, he shook his head, it seemed that he hadn't spoken to Yang Fangxin for a long time in his memory, why was she so cold now.

Yang Yuanqing walked quickly into Jiang Peihua's room. The room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, a maid stands in the outer room, the light in the inner room is on, and the maid sees that it is the king of Chu who comes in, so frightened that she hurriedly salutes. "See the master!"

"Hmm!" Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Is Madam asleep?" ”

"Is it Yuanqing?"

Jiang Peihua's soft voice came from the room, and there was a hint of joy in her voice that couldn't be concealed, "I haven't slept yet, come in!" ”

Yang Yuanqing walked into the inner room. The room is not big, elegantly furnished and clean, there is an incense burner in the corner of the room, green smoke curling, and the room is filled with a faint sandalwood incense, which is Jiang Peihua's favorite fragrance, which makes people feel calm.

Jiang Peihua lay on his side on the bed. She was seven months pregnant, her body was too heavy to lie down, and her hand gently stroked her belly from time to time, as if communicating with the fetus in her womb.

She saw Yang Yuanqing come in. Her eyes were full of joy, she wanted to struggle to sit up, Yang Yuanqing took two quick steps, gently pressed her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't get up while lying down!" ”

Jiang Peihua couldn't move, so he had to hold Yang Yuanqing's hand. Let him sit down, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "The eldest sister said that you will come soon, why now." People are sleepy waiting for it. ”

It is a woman's nature to be coquettish, but it is rare to see it in Jiang Peihua, she has always maintained a noble and elegant posture, but today she is overjoyed, and she can't help but be coquettish to her husband a little.

Yang Yuanqing saw that her eyes were flowing, and her expression was delicate and charming. couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her on the lips, and laughed in a low voice: "I'll stay with you tonight." Let's talk well. ”

Jiang Peihua was excited, his eyes looked at him affectionately, and his lips greeted each other tactfully, but as soon as the two kissed, a low cough sounded from the outhouse, which frightened Jiang Peihua and hurriedly pushed Yang Yuanqing away, his face turned crimson.

Yang Yuanqing sat up, only to see Yang Fangxin walk into the room with a flat face, as if nothing had happened, she nodded slightly to Yang Yuanqing, smiled politely, and walked to the other side of Jiang Peihua and sat down.

She also took Jiang Peihua's hand and asked with a smile: "Sister, your complexion seems to be good today, this morning's midwife also said that your complexion is not very good, you have to make up for your body, why has it become ruddy again now?" ”

Jiang Peihua hated a lot in her heart, she was so easy to get together with her husband, so she came to disturb her, and deliberately said something cool.

Jiang Peihua gritted her teeth lightly and twisted it under her arm, and Yang Fangxin immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oops! Sister, what are you pinching me for? ”

Jiang Peihua was embarrassed and scolded in a low voice: "You dead girl, did you take the wrong medicine today?" How a little crazy! ”

Yang Fangxin's face turned red, and she suddenly realized her gaffe, what did she do? The husband and wife haven't seen each other for a few months, and they talk about private things together, but they come here for some reason, what is this?

Thinking of this, she stood up and smiled at Jiang Peihua: "I'm crazy about something, I'm just here to greet Sister, okay, after the greeting, I'm going back, and I'll come to see you tomorrow morning." ”

After speaking, she got up and walked out, as if she had forgotten the existence of Yang Yuanqing, and she didn't even say goodbye, so Shi Shiran left.

"She seems to have a big opinion of me." Yang Yuanqing remembered that she met her at the door just now, and she also looked like she was ignoring herself.

Jiang Peihua shook his head, sighed and said: "That is, you don't know her, she is a big ghost, and she is smarter than anyone else, two days ago, Mrs. Xiao visited me and talked about her marriage." ”

'Marriage? Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly, "How old is she this year?" ”

"She's fourteen years old and can consider getting married."

Yang Yuanqing groaned and said: "Fourteen years old is still too young, it is recommended to wait until she is sixteen years old before considering marriage." ”

"Let's talk about this!"

Jiang Peihua said helplessly: "And this matter is a bit troublesome, although Empress Xiao is her mother, but after all, she is not her own child, Danyang doesn't pay much attention to her as a queen mother, it has been many days, she has only visited once, and it is the only time she visits, and they also quarreled." ”

"Why?" Yang Yuanqing asked puzzled.

"Empress Xiao asked her to move to Jinyang to live, even if she turned her face, she kept saying that she didn't want to be a nun in Jinyang Palace, which made Empress Xiao very angry, and after saying a few words to her, she put on the father and said that her father would never let her be the emperor's daughter again, anyway, her current personality is very eccentric, a little moody, and people can't figure out what she thinks in her heart."

Yang Yuanqing thought for a moment and didn't know why, he didn't think about it anymore, so he smiled and said: "Forget it, I won't talk about her, let me listen to the child's heartbeat." ”

"Hmm!"

Jiang Peihua lay on his back, unbuttoned his clothes a little shyly, revealing the skin of his abdomen, Yang Yuanqing carefully put his ears on her lower abdomen, and listened carefully to the heartbeat of the fetus, Jiang Peihua gently stroked Yang Yuanqing's hair, and his heart was full of joy of being a wife and a mother......

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing came to Jinyang Palace to meet with the Great Sui Emperor Yang Yu and the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Yang Yuanqing wore a purple robe of nine pythons, wore a black cage gauze hat, wore black leather boots on his feet, and wore a sword at his waist.

In fact, the only thing Emperor Yang Yu did was to meet with an envoy from a foreign court, and he was just a symbol of the Great Sui Dynasty.

At this time, the little emperor Yang Yu and the Empress Dowager Xiao have been seated majestically, and Empress Xiao has been in Jinyang Palace for more than a month, and many years ago, she lived in Jinyang Palace with her husband Yang Guang for more than a month.

Although the scale of Jinyang Palace is very large, there are hundreds of palaces, majestic and magnificent, but Empress Xiao has never liked Jinyang Palace, because there is no fairy mountain spirit of Fenyang Palace, nor the warm water color of Jiangdu Palace, just such a dry hundreds of palaces.

But at this time, she likes Jinyang Palace very much, because Jinyang brings her an unprecedented sense of security, in this palace, she is the master of a palace, and she doesn't even have to look at her husband Yang Guang's face, so she doesn't have to worry about her life being threatened.

But one thing Empress Xiao knows very well is that her safety and a decent life in the second half of her life depend on Yang Yuanqing, this young man is in control of her destiny, and she must completely obey his will and dare not disobey in the slightest.

So she felt a little sick today, and she also beat her spirits and came out to meet Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Yuanqing walked into the hall quickly, bowed and saluted, "Minister Yang Yuanqing see the Empress Dowager, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

On the main hall, Empress Xiao sat in the right position, and the little emperor Yang Yu sat on the other side, this is because Yang Yu is underage, Empress Xiao has received a note written to her by Yang Shidao yesterday, this time in the battle of the Central Plains, there is no need to reward the officials of the King of Chu, and give a banquet and reward.

Empress Xiao knew that this was actually what Yang Yuanqing meant, and Empress Xiao smiled slightly, "Your Highness won a great victory in the Central Plains, so that the fertile fields of the Central Plains returned to the territory of the Great Sui, the merit is great, and the mourning family is extremely gratified, I must reward Your Highness, I don't know what official Your Highness is willing to entitle?" ”

Yang Yuanqing bowed down and saluted again, "Qi Yu Empress Dowager, it is the duty of the minister to open up territory for the Great Sui, the minister only did his part, and did not dare to be rewarded by the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother will reward the soldiers more, they are the real meritorious ministers." ”

"The mourning family understands that the reward of the soldiers has its own military department to compile a merit book, which will be discussed and approved by the Ziwei Pavilion, and the mourning family will approve it, but the merits of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the mourning family cannot sit idly by, and the king of Chu will accept the order!"

Yang Yuanqing didn't think about his reward, he was already a very popular minister, and there was no way to seal it, and it didn't make sense to seal some strange official titles, but Empress Xiao had to seal him, so that he was helpless, he knew that this was the Queen Mother flattering himself, so he had to bow down and say: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Empress Xiao raised his voice and said loudly: "King Yuanqing of Chu took the Central Plains in the south, thanks to Sheji, specially added the title of Taiwei, gave Pan Yingjian, and crowned his eldest daughter as the lord of Yingchuan County, and named his son as the king of Xingyang County, Qin this!" ”

A eunuch came out with a gold plate, and there was a sword in the gold plate, the hilt of the sword was like black jade, this sword was the Panying Tianzi sword given by Yang Guang to Yang Yuanqing, and Empress Xiao made a big move for this sword and Yang Yuanqing.

Today, Empress Xiao gave this sword to Yang Yuanqing again, which is a disguised apology.

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but glance at Empress Xiao, and just as Empress Xiao also looked at him, the two of them met their eyes and smiled understandingly
