268, Concubine Shu sees her mother (middle)

When Concubine Yang Shufei walked to the courtyard where Empress Xiao lived, Empress Xiao had received the reward from her subordinates and came out of the house.

When her eyes fell on the beautiful woman in front of her, who had no ornaments on her body, but her face was calm and graceful, her eyes suddenly became wet.

Before she said a word, Queen Xiao thought that at this age, and after experiencing so many twists and turns, there would be nothing in this world that moved her to tears, after all, in the past ten years, she had already shed all the tears that should have been shed.

But at this moment, she looked at the daughter who was unrestrained and bright like the sun in the past, becoming so restrained and quiet, and her heart suddenly ached.

Her words and deeds have been measured by a ruler, even in front of her mother, there has never been half a point of transgression, as if all this has been imprinted into her bones and become her instinct.

Over the years, what kind of mood has she used to rub away the former publicity and pride bit by bit, and achieve what she is today? The tears in Empress Xiao's eyes were like pouring rain, flowing more and more.

"The Queen Mother." It was not only Queen Xiao who was crying, but Concubine Yang Shufei was also crying, the moment she saw her mother, her tears were like a river without embankments, gushing out, no matter how she could hide it, she looked at her mother with mottled hair on her head and fine wrinkles on her cheeks, and suddenly ran towards her.

Empress Xiao, who is now sixty-six or four, looks like she is only in her fifties, and her appearance is very young compared to other peers, but in the eyes of Concubine Yang Shu, her mother is at least twenty years older than back then.

When she left Jiangdu, although Empress Xiao was nearly fifty years old, she still couldn't see half a silver hair on her head, and her face was as fair and smooth as a noble lady in her thirties.

Lan Yi and Jinxiu had already retreated with tears when Yang Shufei and Empress Xiao looked at each other and wept, one of them was the person who followed Yang Shufei when she was a child, and the other was transferred to her side when Yang Shufei entered the Qin Palace.

No matter which one of them is, they are not stupid people, knowing that at this time, Concubine Yang Shufei must have a thousand words to say to her mother, and they are not in a proper way when they are by their side.

Queen Xiao hugged her daughter together, and under the agitation, tears became more and more turbulent, but she has been a queen for more than ten years, and she has experienced so many changes, so her mentality is more stable.

After crying for a while, after the excitement of the first meeting passed, she came to her senses, and after relieving herself, she gently pushed Yang Shufei away: "Niangniang, the woman is no longer a queen now, you shouldn't be called that." ”

"Queen mother, in other places, the daughter can endure it, and she can not let her words and deeds make any mistakes, but here, the daughter doesn't want to endure it anymore, and the daughter has called you the queen mother for eighteen years, and this mouth can't be changed for a while."

"Although the Great Sui died early, no one can deny that you were the queen of the Great Sui, please don't torture your daughter like this," Seeing that Queen Xiao was about to salute herself, Concubine Yang Shu's emotions completely collapsed, she grabbed Queen Xiao and cried again.

"Idiot, I just saw that you couldn't find a trace of mistake in your body, my mother thought that you had really become mature and stable, but I didn't expect that the willful idiocy in your bones still hasn't changed." Empress Xiao glanced at her helplessly, no longer attached to vulgar etiquette, and led her into the house.

As soon as they entered, a woman in her forties came over with water and a face towel and asked them to clean their faces.

Seeing her mother and crying bitterly, Yang Shufei felt that her mood was finally no longer so depressed, and she gradually eased up.

After she washed her face and cleaned her hands, she realized that the person who came in with water was Qiao Jin, who had been following the queen mother.

Yang Shufei suddenly whispered in surprise: "Aunt Qiao, have you been by your mother's side all these years?" ”

Qiao Jin was the head of the secret guard beside Empress Xiao back then, Qinglan was trained by her, when Concubine Yang Shufei left Jiangdu, she was already thirty-five, and now thirteen years have passed, she is forty-eight, and she only looks like forty.

"Well, the slave has been with Madame all these years." Joe replied.

"You guys, how is my queen mother doing all these years?" When Yang Shufei heard that she had been following her mother all these years, she felt a little better, and was slightly silent for a while, and then asked.

"Ruyi, don't call the queen mother anymore, you are in love for a while, it's okay, my identity is not as good as before, you want to live better in the palace, you want me to live a cleaner life, or don't be willful." Before Qiao Jin could answer, Empress Xiao had already taken the lead in taking the conversation.

"Yes, mother, my daughter must follow her mother's teachings, but you must not salute your daughter, I came here today, it was His Majesty's permission, and he also gave him the waist card to leave the palace."

"Since His Majesty asked his daughter to come here to see her mother, instead of letting her mother go to the palace to see her daughter, it can be seen that Your Majesty still regards her mother as his elder and the queen of the previous dynasty."

Yang Shufei's heart tightened when she heard this, and after she calmed down, she naturally wouldn't be so willful anymore, and changed her words from the good.

"Your Majesty, he is indeed stronger than your father, whether it is in life or behavior, he is resolute and forbearing, can restrain his desires, and can listen to advice, so that he can completely defeat the Turks in just over three years after he has been in power."

"Look at him, the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, which one is not a great talent in the world, so many people can gather together, use it for him, and be loyal to him, why don't you worry about it, if it was ...... back then"

"That's it, what are you mentioning back then, Ruyi, you, everything is good in the palace?" After listening to this, Empress Xiao involuntarily had a look of amazement and sadness on her face, and she was silent for a long time before taking over the conversation.

"My daughter is very good in the palace, the population of His Majesty's harem is not large, there is only one queen in total, four concubines and one concubine and one Zhaorong, the population is not large, and there is no dispute."

"Plus the queen, virtuous is famous, as long as the palace concubines don't cause trouble, she will never take the initiative to trouble anyone, her daughter's life is very clean, let alone her daughter, mother, tell me about your things over the years." Lady Yang said.

"My business, in fact, there is nothing to say, after Yu Wenhua and the traitor killed your father, he set himself up as the king, but this person is not very capable, and he acted perversely, and he was destroyed by someone not long after."

"After that, my mother went to Dou Jiande's territory, and soon, your aunt, Princess Yicheng, said that Jieli Khan was moved, and asked him to come forward to find Dou Jiande and take me to the Turks."

"Your aunt is a Turkic Kedun, and when I went there, life will naturally not be sad, so the queen mother has not suffered any major grievances over the years." Empress Xiao lightly talked about her experience over the years.
