Vanilla pursed her lips and said with disdain: "Besides the Xiao Niangniang of the previous dynasty, who else can there be?" ”

The victor is the prince and the loser is Kou, and this has been the case since ancient times. Not only will the losers be unable to protect themselves, but even their wives and daughters will be used as trophies by the victorious side. When the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen, all the men of the Chen Dynasty royal family were assigned to the frontier, and the women were either confiscated into the palace, or rewarded as meritorious heroes, or as concubines, or slaves, or as maids. Gao Xiu'er's mother Xie Zhaoyi and Vanilla's mother, Princess Yueyang, are all in this situation. And Vanilla's mother, Princess Yueyang, suffered even more tragically, and was directly rewarded by Gao Gong to the slaves in the mansion, and as a result, Vanilla was born to become the slave of Gaofu. If Gao Xiu'er hadn't treated her like a sister, she wouldn't be where she is today. Influenced by her mother, Vanilla's hatred for the Sui family is not inferior to that of Gao Xiu'er, who wants to avenge her father.

After the Sui Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ziqiu changed the style of the previous dynasty and treated Yang Guang's concubines with courtesy. Not only did they not reduce them to slaves, but they were still allowed to live in luxurious palaces and be fed. If they are willing to remarry, the court will prepare a rich dowry for them. In the past few years, most of Yang Guang's concubines couldn't bear the loneliness and married each other, leaving only Empress Xiao, Concubine Xiao, and Mrs. Wang still in the palace.

In Vanilla's opinion, it's not that the five of them don't want to remarry, it's that they really can't get married. As Liu Ziqiu's woman, Vanilla also knows many secrets. Empress Xiao once lost herself to Yu Wenhua, and Concubine Xiao once lost to Li Yuan, neither of them was a chaste woman. Empress Xiao's identity was there, and no one dared to marry her. Concubine Xiao also brought Yang Gao, who dragged an oil bottle, and he was also the one who had been the emperor for a few days, who would dare to take it back home? As for Mrs. Wang, it was Li Yuan's niece, and she might have other plans if she didn't remarry.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Vanilla has a trace of disgust, hatred and contempt for Queen Xiao.

Gao Xiu'er smiled and said, "You little girl, you are cautious again." Let's go, come with me and have a look. ”

When she entered Xiyuan to assassinate Yang Guang, she dealt with Empress Xiao, and knew that Empress Xiao was actually a more virtuous woman, but her personality was a little weaker. If you want to say that Empress Xiao came to Liu Ziqiu to cry and ask for something, it is absolutely impossible to say that she came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt. As for Empress Xiao's loss in Yu Culture, it was also forced by the form. In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass, in the face of the bright butcher's knife, it has become a luxury to live, and how many women will care about their chastity?

However, when Gao Xiu'er and the others came to the side hall, Queen Xiao had already left, leaving Liu Ziqiu alone sitting in the hall playing with an old leather ball. After dark, Liu Ziqiu would not meet Empress Xiao in the palace, after all, she has a special status. Moreover, many ministers in the court, especially Wenchen, are officials of the previous dynasty, and Liu Ziqiu also has to take care of the feelings of these people. Therefore, as soon as the time came, Liu Ziqiu ordered someone to send Empress Xiao out.

Seeing Gao Xiu'er coming in, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiu'er, why are you here?" ”

This is not a harem, Gao Xiu'er pays attention to etiquette, and salutes Liu Ziqiu, and then says: "The concubine heard that the person was coming, I don't know what happened?" ”

Women always have to be sensitive, although Gao Xiuer has more respect for Queen Xiao, she also maintains a little vigilance. Don't look at Queen Xiao who is over forty years old, but she looks like a person in her twenties, and she is even more noble. Princess Xiliang and Empress Da Sui, if they take the initiative to give them a hug, I'm afraid few men will refuse. In fact, Gao Xiuer is not a jealous woman. Liu Ziqiu is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable to marry a few more women. Even if according to the rules set by Zhao Ling, the fourth lady, the ninth concubine, the twenty-seventh wife, and the eighty-first royal wife are all married, Gao Xiuer will not say one more "no", but only Queen Xiao can't. She is completely thinking about Liu Ziqiu, if Liu Ziqiu occupies Queen Xiao, although no one dares to say anything, it is inevitable that there will be a lewd and lustful comment behind her.

Liu Ziqiu didn't know that Gao Xiu'er would have such thoughts, so he just smiled bitterly: "It's not because I held a son-in-law election conference for Wang Yufeng. ”

Gao Xiu'er said curiously: "The emperor chooses a son-in-law for Wang Yufeng, what does it matter to her?" ”

"I don't think it's her business, but she doesn't think so. She blamed me for choosing a son-in-law for Wang Shichong's daughter, but refused to choose a son-in-law for her two daughters. Liu Ziqiu shook his head and sighed, "There are some things that I can't say to her clearly, so I can only bluff her back first, but that little girl in Lanyue will also misunderstand that I am unwilling to do my best." You see, that little girl has returned all the balls I gave her. Forget it, let's not talk about her, let's talk about you. How did you get here? ”

After the fall of the Great Sui, Yang Guang's family only had seven people left: Empress Xiao, Concubine Xiao, Mrs. Wang, Yang Gao, Yang Yu, Princess Nanyang and Princess Lanyue. Empress Xiao, Concubine Xiao and Mrs. Wang are destined to be lonely for a lifetime, and what Queen Xiao is worried about is these four children. According to the Great Sui's treatment of the Chen Dynasty's clan back then, Yang Gao and Yang Yu should have been assigned to the border famine, and they were self-employed under strict supervision. Even if they can live a long time, they are not qualified to marry a wife and have children until the Yang family cuts off the incense. As for the two princesses, they were supposed to be filled into the court and become palace slaves. However, Liu Ziqiu gave the seven of them freedom and did not restrict their movements.

Originally, this was a great thing, but no one dared to marry the three Queen Xiao, no one dared to marry the two princesses, and no one dared to marry the two former princes and grandsons. still responded to that sentence, the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Now that the dynasty has changed, they are all members of the royal family of the previous dynasty, no matter how noble their status is, no one wants to mess with them.

Empress Xiao was weak by nature, so she didn't dare to come to Liu Ziqiu to talk about these things. It's just a few years of dull life, and her temperament has gradually changed. She knew very well that she would be like this for the rest of her life, but the children were still young, and she had to work hard for their future. Yang Gao and Yang Yu are not expected to be counted on, but her two biological daughters can't be lonely all their lives.

In fact, she didn't know that Liu Ziqiu was not as cruel as she imagined, and she never intended to make the Yang family extinct. Liu Ziqiu also considered the affairs of these people, but Yang Gao and Yang Yu are still young and far from the age of starting a family. Princess Nanyang was originally married to Yu Wenshi, but because of Yu Wenhua and killing the king, she insisted on breaking off relations with Yu Wenshi and swearing, and vowed not to marry, determined to become a monk. In this matter, Liu Ziqiu really couldn't help Queen Xiao. And earlier he also promised Princess Nanyang that he would introduce her to Master Daoxin, but Master Daoxin Shenlong saw the beginning and did not see the end, and he never made the trip. As for Princess Lanyue, Liu Ziqiu always felt that she was still young. Liu Ziqiu has been committed to changing the custom of early marriage, so naturally he will not choose a son-in-law for Princess Lanyue in advance.

Gao Xiu'er covered her mouth and smiled: "The concubine is here, but it is also for Wang Yufeng's business. ”

Liu Ziqiu said angrily: "You don't know about her, so don't make trouble here." ”

Wang Yufeng, who is married on the street today, is actually just a Byzantine girl, and the real Wang Yufeng has been accepted into the harem by Liu Ziqiu a few days ago. This matter is highly confidential, and only a very few people know about it, and Gao Xiu'er is obviously one of these very few people.

Gao Xiu'er laughed: "It's not the concubines who are causing the trouble, but someone else." Your Majesty, please look this way. ”

Liu Ziqiu looked in the direction of Gao Xiu'er's finger, but it was a beautiful girl, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Who is the girl?" Could it be that he also came for Wang Yufeng's recruitment of a son-in-law? ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Big brother, you, you don't know me anymore?" I'm innocent. ”

Vanilla heard her call Liu Ziqiu "big brother", and she was slightly resentful, and scolded repeatedly: "Bold, why don't you salute when you see the emperor!" Big brother is also called by you! ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Vanilla, you are so loud, be careful of the fetal gas." ”

Vanilla was startled, clutched her stomach, and whispered, "I—I won't speak anymore." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed, then turned his head and said with a smile: "Are you the eldest grandson?" I didn't think I would see you in a few years, but you have grown into a big girl, and I will almost not recognize you. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian looked at Liu Ziqiu's gentle smile as always, and his heart was soft. However, thinking that her uncle, who treated their brothers and sisters as his own, almost died violently because of Li Shimin's recruitment of a concubine, her heart hardened again, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, the slave maid is indeed not qualified to be called the emperor's big brother." In the slave's heart, the eldest brother of the year is dead. ”

Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but be stunned, frowned, and said, "Wuji, why did you say this?" ”

The eldest grandson sneered: "What has the emperor done, isn't the emperor clear in his own heart?" Why do you have to say it! ”

Liu Ziqiu was very patient, and he didn't get angry, and muttered: "I don't dare to compare myself with Mingjun, but I have a clear conscience when I do things." Back then, I regarded your brother's eldest grandson Wuji as a brother, and I didn't want him to go to Jiangnan with the intention of murdering my wife and children. I remembered his youth, pardoned him for his innocence, took him to high school, and allowed him to walk in the cabinet. I asked myself, but I am not sorry for your brother and sister at all. ”

This is the truth, if there is another monarch, I am afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji will not be able to cut off ten heads. Not only that, but it will also connect the nine clans. And now, whether it is the eldest grandson family or the Gao family, they are still alive and well. From this point of view, Liu Ziqiu is generous enough.

The eldest grandson Wujian also knew that Liu Ziqiu was telling the truth, but she was young after all, and when she was angry, she handed the ball in her hand to Liu Ziqiu and said loudly: "Return this ball to the emperor, please make an order for the emperor to allow the slave to become a nun!" ”

Looking at the two leather balls in front of him, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What's the pain?" But I don't understand. ”
