267, Concubine Shu Sees Mother (I)
Li Jing's performance obviously made Li Shimin very happy and relieved, he was relieved of Li Jing, but he was quite displeased with Xiao Yu.
This Xiao Yu is generally knowledgeable on weekdays, but once he touches his relatives, he immediately becomes unreasonable.
Princess Yicheng is loyal to the Great Sui, but she regards the Tang Dynasty as an enemy, and the Turks have burned and looted everywhere on the border of the Tang Dynasty over the years.
You, Xiao Yu, are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but you are devoted to such a person, and you are also participating in Li Jing for her, which is simply unreasonable.
Li Shimin had such a thing in mind, and within two days of the turmoil of participating in Li Jing's affairs, he found a reason to dismiss Xiao Yu's phase and let him go home to introspect.
Although Xiao Yu's temper is a little stiffer, he is not a fool, he naturally knows why the emperor wants to dismiss him, the emperor ordered him to go home and reflect, he didn't say a word, simply cleaned up and handed over, patted his ass and went home.
He joined Li Jing because, first, there were indeed personal reasons inside, and second, he really felt that it was wrong for the commander leading the troops to condone the looting of the soldiers outside, and such unrestrained behavior could easily exacerbate the deterioration of the contradictions.
His sister, after Empress Xiao returned to Chang'an, Li Shimin treated her very politely and placed her in Xingdao, that is, the first workshop outside the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an, and gave her a very magnificent mansion to live in.
Because she was the queen of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin did not give the title again in order to protect his respect for her, and when he met, he was commensurate with Mrs. Yang, Xiao Yu was dismissed, and the next day after returning home, he went to Xingdao to see his sister.
"Sister." When Xiao Yu came in, Queen Xiao was fiddling with flowers and plants in the courtyard, she was over sixty years old, but her body and appearance were still well maintained, and she only looked like she was about fifty years old.
"Here, please say you've been dismissed again?" Queen Xiao personally cut a pot of flowers and branches she liked, and then stood up to greet Xiao Yu, the two of them are siblings of the same mother, and their relationship is very deep.
"Hmm," Xiao Yu nodded.
"It's hot outside, come in and sit, Dongzhu, go soak some chrysanthemum flowers." Empress Xiao glanced at her younger brother and called him into the house to sit, it was already the middle of April, the weather was good, the sun was big, and it was already a little hot when it was close to noon.
"Is it to participate in Li Jing's business?" Empress Xiao was busy outside for a long time, feeling tired and thirsty, and when Dongzhu made tea and brought it out, she drank a few sips and moistened her throat before she continued to speak.
"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded again.
"You're not a kid anymore, why are you still so impulsive?" Empress Xiao glanced at him with some disapproval, she was eight years older than Xiao Yu, she was forty-four years old, and Xiao Yu was also fifty-six.
"Li Jing's army robbery is already wrong, and I didn't join him for personal reasons, not to mention, Princess Yicheng is a woman, without the Turks behind, what can she do, why can't Your Majesty and Li Jing tolerate her." Xiao Yu refuted a little unconvinced.
"You, you're just a dead brain, how about Ruyi in the palace?" Empress Xiao glared at him with some hatred, was silent for a while, and then asked.
"Niangniang is doing well in the palace, she acts very safely, and she has raised His Highness very well, and His Majesty respects him." Xiao Yu replied.
"After thirteen years, I really miss her in my heart, I don't know when I will be able to see her." Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and only after a while did she say something faintly.
"Concubine Shu also remembers her sister very much, and she must soon ask Your Majesty for instructions and come to visit her sister." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and replied.
As an elder sister, it is obviously inappropriate to let her enter the palace to see Concubine Yang Shu, and if their mother and son want to meet, they can only let Concubine Yang Shufei leave the palace and come here to visit Queen Xiao.
"I don't know if Your Majesty will allow it." Empress Xiao's tone was a little expectant and a little apprehensive.
"Your Majesty should be able to do so, Your Majesty is a person who cherishes feathers very much, which can be seen only by looking at his attitude towards his sister you, and he is not embarrassed in this matter." Xiao Yu said.
Don't talk about Empress Xiao's thoughts, but say that Concubine Yang Shu of Lanxiu Palace, since her mother entered Beijing, she has been thinking about coming over to see her day and night, but the emperor has been too busy during this period of time, and she has not come to her Lanxiu Palace, and she can't find a chance.
On the fourth day when Xiao Yu was presented, Li Shimin suddenly arrived at Lanxiu Palace, Yang Shufei was worried about her uncle's sudden dismissal in the past few days, and now she saw the emperor coming, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly came out to greet her: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty."
"Get up, Ke'er has entered the palace in the next few days?" Li Shimin waved his hand, walked in, and asked his son casually.
"He has a lot of homework in the school these days, and he has come less." Yang Shufei replied.
"Well, Guozijian has been doing more homework recently, I asked them to add it, I came here to tell you that your mother has been in Chang'an for a while, if you want to see her, go and meet her." Li Shimin hummed softly, and then changed his head.
"Really, really?" Yang Shufei was stunned when she heard this, this joy came too much, and it was so sudden that in recent years, her heart was pounding wildly, and her voice trembled a little.
"Of course it's true, I still need to lie to you? It's a sign, you can go and see her at any time. Li Shimin looked at the surprise pouring out of her pretty face, which had rarely shown emotions in the past two years, and felt both funny and a little complicated and indescribable.
"The concubine has thanked Your Majesty for the grace of heaven." Concubine Yang suppressed the excitement in her heart, took the token handed over by Li Shimin, bent down and bowed to the head of the mansion, and bowed respectfully to him.
The next day, Concubine Yang Shufei changed into ordinary clothes, took Qinglan and Jinxiu, and went out of the palace to her mother's residence in Xingdaoli.
Empress Xiao's house is easy to find, it is the best location in Xingdao, it is very eye-catching, a total of four entrances, the door is written on the two big characters of Yang Mansion.
Yang Shufei came to the door of this house, but she didn't enter it for the first time, she looked at the word Yang Mansion on the door in a daze, and suddenly tears rained down.
"Niangniang, do you want the slave to go in first and inform the people inside?" Jinxiu on the side couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"No, here, no need to report in advance, here, I'm not a mother, I'm just a daughter who went home to visit her mother." Yang Shufei stopped her tears, shook her head, and then knocked on the door with her own hands.
"Who are you looking for?" As soon as he knocked twice, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and an old man in a green coat stuck out his head.
"I'm looking for the mistress of the house, I'm her daughter." Yang Shufei said with a smile.
"Oh, the villain doesn't know that the mother is here, please forgive the mother, please ask the mother to forgive the sin, please the mother." When the porter heard this, he hurried over to bow and plead.
He can be arranged to watch the door of the room, naturally he is the person who knows the details of Empress Xiao, and he also knows that the person who will come to her as the daughter of Empress Xiao here is only Concubine Yang Shu in the palace.
