After being carefully nursed back to health by Sun Simiao, Queen Changsun's health is not yet well, but compared to the dying state before, she is much better. At least she has the strength to sit up with the support of others. Now Queen Changsun is grooming under the service of the palace maid.

, the thin face is full of illness, but between the eyebrows, the previous dignity and beauty can still be vaguely seen.

Empress Changsun took the hot towel handed over by the palace maid and wiped her face gently. Although she still felt weak all over, Sun Simiao suggested that she move more and do the things she can do by herself, so she usually washes her face and eats.

She tries her best to do the little things herself.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Jin just gave an order that he would personally prepare breakfast for you, and it is probably ready now!" After Queen Changsun wiped her face, a palace maid stepped forward and reported with a smile.

"Oh? Pheasant slave is really thoughtful!" Empress Changsun rarely showed a smile on her sick face. Li Zhi is her youngest son. For a mother, she usually loves her youngest son very much, and Empress Changsun is no exception.

Empress Changsun was very pleased that Li Zhi could be so filial.

"Haha, not only His Highness the Prince of Jin, but also Princess Jinyang went to help His Highness the Prince of Jin, saying that she wanted to cook it for the empress with her own hands!" This palace maid has served Empress Changsun for many years and is very favored, so she is quite courageous.

, speaking more casually in front of Queen Changsun.

"Haha, Sizi went to help the pheasant slave, because he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat this meal." Empress Changsun said with a smile. For Sizi, a beloved daughter, Empress Changsun loves her no less than Li Zhi, and

Sizi has been weak since birth and gets sick frequently, so she usually spends more thought on Sizi than other children.

"Mother! Queen! Try the steamed eggs made by Sizi!" At this moment, little Sizi trotted in, followed closely by the palace maid, fearing that she might accidentally fall.

"Sizi, run slower, be careful of falling!" Queen Changsun immediately perked up when she saw her beloved daughter, and some color returned to her face, and she ordered with love and compassion.

Sizi didn't listen at all. He threw his head in front of Queen Changsun's couch and said with a smile: "Mother, the steamed eggs Sizi makes are exactly the same as those made by Sixth Brother. Ninth Brother is a big fool, and the ones he makes are ugly.

Already."

As soon as the little girl came in, she asked for credit from Queen Changsun, and also belittled Li Zhi. At this time, Li Zhi also came in dejectedly. He wanted to please the queen, but he didn't expect that something went wrong, and instead he let the little girl Si Zi take the advantage.

First.

"Haha, what delicious food did Si Zi and Pheasant Nu make? Let the concubine try it!" Empress Changsun lovingly stroked Si Zi's little head and said with a smile. She already felt the filial piety of Si Zi and Pheasant Nu.

I am very satisfied and it doesn’t matter what I eat.

"Hurry! Open it quickly!" Sizi urged the palace maid carrying the tray to come forward, and Li Zhi also motioned to the people behind him to present what he had made. Although he did not do it well, it was still his filial piety, and he

I secretly made up my mind to do it a few more times when I go back today, and strive to do my best tomorrow.

"Huh? This aroma is indeed unique. Smelling it makes people appetizing." As the lid of the bowl was opened, a drool-inducing aroma came out, giving everyone who smelled it a feeling of salivation on the bottom of the tongue.

, even Empress Changsun, who had no appetite after a long illness, was no exception.

Hearing the praise from Empress Changsun, little Sizi was overjoyed. Empress Changsun's personal maid picked up a bowl and fed her. When Empress Changsun ate steamed eggs for the first time, she was immediately attracted by the sour, salty, delicious and extremely smooth eggs.

It felt like the stimulating appetite whetted the appetite. Sizi's bowl of steamed eggs was not large, only two eggs were beaten, so in a short time, Empress Changsun ate them up.

Seeing the queen eating so much at once and looking like she was enjoying it, the maids around her were all happy: Although Queen Changsun's condition has improved, her appetite has always been poor. Doctor Sun ordered Queen Changsun to be on time.

Eat according to the amount. In order to improve her condition, Empress Changsun usually endures nausea when eating. Sometimes she vomits it out as soon as she eats it. She has to repeat a meal several times. For this reason, His Majesty Taizong has lost his temper several times, but he did not expect it.

Princess Jinyang and King Jin solved this problem today.

After finishing the bowl made by Sizi, the palace maid saw that Empress Changsun still looked unsatisfied, so she picked up the bowl made by Li Zhi. Although it looked ugly and the taste was not as good as that made by Sizi, Empress Changsun was still satisfied.

Don't stop until you finish eating.

"Haha, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. Sizi and Pheasant Nu are really sensible. They all know that they are heartbroken." After eating two bowls of steamed eggs, Empress Changsun looked better, and there was even a pimple on her forehead.

There are some signs of sweating, which is definitely a good sign for a patient.

"Mother, this was specially made by Sixth Brother last night for Si Zi. After tasting it, the father thought it was good, so he thought of the queen..." The little girl also felt that the mother's spirit was much better, and chirped to the eldest grandson about yesterday's story.

Regarding the dinner party, Li Zhi added on the side. After all, it is difficult for a three-year-old child to express one thing clearly.

"Haha, I didn't expect Min'er to be a blessing in disguise. His behavior and actions are often unexpected. Not only is he outstanding in literary talent, but he can even hold a banquet so novel. It's a pity that I am not lucky enough to attend because of my illness!" After listening to the words of the two children, Empress Changsun said,

She couldn't help but mutter to herself. She didn't have any worries about Li Min's outstanding performance. After all, Li Min and Li Ke had congenital flaws in their identities and could not pose a threat to the crown prince's position.

"Sister, your complexion is much better than yesterday. Hey, Pheasant Nu and Sizi are here too?" At this moment, a beauty in palace clothes came in with a palace maid. Seeing the rosy face of Empress Changsun, she said happily, and then looked at

To Li Zhi and Si Zi.

"See Concubine Yang!" When Li Zhi and Si Zi saw the person, they immediately stood up and saluted. The person who came was none other than Concubine Yang, Li Min's biological mother.

"Haha, get up quickly!" Concubine Yang often came to Queen Changsun's place. She also liked the two children very much and pulled them up one by one.

"Why did my sister come so early? I heard from Pheasant Nu and Sizi that His Majesty drank a lot at the Five Kings Banquet yesterday. My sister must have been tired from taking care of His Majesty. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Empress Changsun smiled.

Inviting Concubine Yang to sit on the edge of the couch, she asked with a friendly face, "She has the best relationship with Concubine Yang in the palace. This is not only because they have similar temperaments, but also because Concubine Yang poses no threat to her position as queen."

"Last night, His Majesty praised Min'er for making the steamed eggs that were very suitable for my sister. I specifically asked Min'er to hand over the recipe to me. I made them early this morning and gave them to my sister to taste." Concubine Yang said with a smile. She served Li Min last night.

She had heard about the matter of making steamed eggs from the palace servants, and was very worried about Li Shimin agreeing to let Li Zhi make steamed eggs for Empress Changsun, so she learned how to make steamed eggs herself and sent them over.

"Hehe, Concubine Yang is late. The mother-in-law made by Ninth Brother and I has finished eating, and what I made is much better than Ninth Brother's!" The little girl looked up at her plump little face, very proud.

said.

"Oh, Si Zi is so powerful!" Concubine Yang picked up Si Zi and put it on her lap and said with a smile, "Since your mother has eaten it, what will you do with the bowl that Concubine Yang made?"

"I eat! I eat! Si Zi likes to eat the food cooked by Concubine Yang the most!" The little girl had a greedy look on her face. The eldest grandson Queen has been in poor health in the past two years, so besides playing with Li Zhi, Si Zi usually has nothing left to do.

In her spare time, she likes to go to Concubine Yang to eat and drink. Concubine Yang also likes Sizi, an elf girl. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a daughter, and the Li Ke brothers are both out of the palace and living alone, so they are full of motherly love.

Focused on Si Zi.

Empress Changsun couldn't say too much. She could only watch Concubine Yang playing with Sizi with a smile. Li Zhi stayed with her for a while, but because he had to go to elementary school to study, he left. Concubine Yang personally fed Sizi.

After eating a bowl of steamed eggs, she got tired after playing for a while. After all, she didn't go to bed until midnight last night, so she fell asleep in Concubine Yang's arms in a short time.

Looking at Sizi sleeping in Concubine Yang's arms, Empress Changsun had a loving look on her face, but she didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face gradually turned to worry, and her eyes even showed a look of panic from time to time.

"Sister, you are still so weak, don't worry about things outside the palace anymore!" Concubine Yang also noticed the change in Queen Changsun's expression, and sighed and advised, she knows what Queen Changsun is thinking better than anyone else.

Clearly, and I understand it more deeply than anyone else.

"Sister, Queen Taimu's early death is not a blessing?" Queen Changsun seemed not to hear Concubine Yang's advice at all, but said such a meaningless statement.

Concubine Yang's delicate body trembled. Empress Taimu was Empress Dou, Gaozu's first wife, and Li Shimin's biological mother. Others may not understand the meaning of Empress Changsun's words, but Concubine Yang, as Empress Changsun's good sister, is

Nothing is clearer.

Prince Chengqian was the eldest son of Empress Changsun, and the second son Li Tai was very fond of Taizong Li Shimin. Not only did he not allow the adult Li Tai to go to the land, but he also allowed him to set up a literature museum in the mansion, allowing him to recruit bachelors on his own.

Although many ministers came to Cambodia and advised Li Shimin not to dote on Li Tai too much, Li Shimin promised well in person, but still doted on Li Tai. It is estimated that even if the two brothers Li Ke and Li Min were together, they would not be as good as Taizong's love for Li Tai.

Li Tai's favor.

The eldest son is the prince, and the second son is very favored by Li Shimin, but Empress Changsun is sensitive to the undercurrents under this beautiful surface. Both sons have grown up, and everyone has their own ideas.

Being favored by Li Shimin has already made him covet the position of prince, and Li Chengqian is also aware of the threat from his own brother, and has always been wary of Li Tai. Coupled with the overt and covert provocation of some people, now the two

The rift between the brothers is getting bigger and bigger. Although they can still act like brothers and sisters in front of Empress Changsun, in fact the two of them no longer have any brotherhood.

The so-called knowing son is more like a mother. As their biological mother, Queen Changsun, how could she not see the changes in the two of them? As a mother, I watched my two biological sons slowly embark on the road of hostility due to the competition for the throne.

This is simply more uncomfortable than killing her. Even Empress Changsun still has a huge fear in her heart, that is, she is afraid that the two brothers Li Chengqian will follow Li Shimin's old path and force them to kill their brothers to win the throne. Every time I think of it,

Here, Empress Changsun could not help but tremble with fear.

Seeing the always dignified and generous Empress Changsun, now she looked confused and confused. Thinking of her poor life experience, Concubine Yang's eyes turned red and her tears couldn't stop falling. As a princess who had subjugated her country, who else could compare to her?

How can she understand the horror of the struggle for the throne? Her father, mother, and brothers and sisters were almost all killed in the change of imperial power between the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If she hadn't happened to stay in Chang'an at that time, she would have died in Yu Yu.

Culture and the hands of brothers.

Seeing that the Queen and Concubine Yang looked wrong, Queen Changsun's personal maid told everyone to retreat, and she also waited outside the palace from a distance. As a qualified personal maid, she knew that there were some words that she should not listen to.

of.

Concubine Yang had personally experienced the pain of destroying her country and her family, and her mind was far more tenacious than ordinary people. So after shedding a few tears, she immediately cheered up. Seeing the weak and helpless look of Empress Changsun, she felt sad and confused.

Angry, he shouted loudly: "Sister, you disappoint me so much!"

One sentence attracted Empress Changsun's attention, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Yang with a confused expression.

"Sister, you are their mother, the eldest grandson empress of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are here, I don't think any of them would dare to make any move?" The sound just now shocked Si Zi who was sleeping soundly. The little girl closed her eyes and looked at Concubine Yang uneasily.

After a few twists in her arms, Concubine Yang did not dare to shout angrily anymore, so she had to lower her voice and speak.

Although Concubine Yang's voice was low, it sounded like a wake-up call to Empress Changsun. Before, she would be in an extremely bad mood whenever she thought of her two sons fighting for the throne, and her condition would be affected in good and bad times. She

But he never thought that if she, the queen, was gone, then the two sons would not have the last layer of consideration. Then the secret struggle would definitely turn to the bright side, and the struggle for the throne would become more cruel, and even really happen.

Go back to their father's old path.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun was shocked. No matter what, she would live. As long as she lived, there would be hope for everything. Even if the two sons turned against each other because of the throne, as long as she was the queen mother and Li Shimin's wisdom,

I am not afraid that they will go to heaven.

"Sister, please accept the courtesy of Guanyin Maid!" Although she was on the hospital bed, Empress Changsun didn't know where she got the strength to sit up and bow to Concubine Yang Yingying. Guanyin Maid is her nickname, and she usually only faces her.

He would only call himself this to Li Shimin.

"Sister, lie down quickly, your body is not healed yet!" Concubine Yang hurriedly stood up and wanted to help her, but she was still holding Sizi in her hand, so she had no choice but to accept the gift from Empress Changsun.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. My sister's words were like a wake-up call, untying the knot in my heart, and even my energy was much better." Empress Changsun smiled and lay down again and said. After untying the knot in her heart, she became the calm, dignified person before.

The virtuous eldest grandson Queen is back again, her words and deeds are full of the Queen's graceful and noble attitude.

"Haha, I'm really happy to see my sister look like this. I believe it won't take long for her to be in good health. Then I'll borrow the cook from Min'er's house to cook all the delicacies for the Five Kings' Banquet last night.

Let sister have a good taste..." Seeing that Queen Changsun had regained the courage to live, Concubine Yang was very excited and couldn't help but talk about her most proud son, especially the Five Kings Banquet last night, which made Concubine Yang even more excited.

It's about being elated.

Although Empress Changsun had already heard Li Zhi and Si Zi talk about it, the two children could not explain it clearly. Therefore, the feast of the Five Kings that Empress Changsun heard from Concubine Yang was even more exciting, and when she heard Li Min's new song

I couldn't help but admire the length and short sentences of "Ming Yue Ji Shi", especially the optimistic attitude towards life in the poem, which made Empress Changsun feel a lot.
