Yang Yuanqing wrote a text message, telling Du Ruhui about the unexpected visit of the Dugu family, and asked him and Dugu Lei to handle the matter together. After writing the letter, he stuffed the letter into an envelope, put a varnish on it, and handed it to one
Personal soldiers, "So quickly handed over this letter to Prime Minister Du and told him that this matter is of great importance and must be handled carefully."
The personal soldiers took the letter and left. Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that it had taken nearly an hour for him to deal with the Dugu family. He originally said that he would ask his wife to wait for a cup of tea, but...
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, got up and walked towards the inner courtyard. Jiang Peihua's courtyard was at the west end of the inner courtyard, a small courtyard full of bamboo and a quiet and elegant environment.
As soon as Yang Yuanqing walked to the gate of the yard, a black shadow rushed towards him. Suddenly, she found someone in front of her. She wanted to stop her rush, but her feet staggered and almost collided with him.
Then a scream rang out. This was a girl's voice. Yang Qing reacted very quickly. He flashed and avoided the other party's immediate collision, but grabbed the other party's arm, "Be careful!"
The other party was wearing a thin silk long skirt. Through the thin skirt, he could feel the other party's slender arms and the delicate and elastic skin unique to the girl.
Holding the other person's figure, a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose. Yang Yuanqing quickly opened his hand. He knew who this was and apologized: "The road is slippery, be careful."
In the darkness, Yang Fangxin's cheeks were hot. She didn't say a word and turned around and went back to her house. She originally planned to go to the back garden to enjoy the night osmanthus, 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 talked to Yang Fangxin for a long time in his memory. Why is she so cold now?
Yang Yuanqing quickly walked into Jiang Peihua's room. The room was divided into two rooms inside and outside. A maid stood in the outside room. The light in the inner room was on. When the maid saw that it was the King of Chu who came in, she was so scared that she quickly saluted. "See Master!"
"Yeah!" Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Have you sleepy madam?"
"Is it Yuan Qing?"
Jiang Peihua's gentle voice came from the room, with a hint of unconcealed joy, "I'm not asleep yet, come in!"
Yang Yuanqing walked into the inner room. The room was not big, and it was decorated in a simple and clean manner. There was an incense burner in the corner, with blue smoke rising, and a faint sandalwood filled the room. This was Jiang Peihua's favorite fragrance, which made people feel calm.
.
Jiang Peihua lay on her side on the bed. She is seven months pregnant and is heavy and unable to lie flat. She gently caresses her belly from time to time, as if communicating with the fetus in her abdomen.
When she saw Yang Yuanqing come in, her eyes were filled with 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 angrily in a slightly coquettish tone: "Sister said you'll come soon, why are you so sleepy until now?"
It is a woman's nature to act coquettishly, but she rarely sees it in Jiang Peihua. She has always maintained a noble and elegant posture, but today she was happy and couldn't help but act coquettishly to her husband.
Seeing her eyes flowing, Yang Yuanqing looked sweet and charming. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips, and laughed in a low voice: "I'll stay with you tonight. Let's talk well."
Jiang Peihua was excited, and looked at him affectionately, and his lips greeted him. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two kissed, a low cough came from the outer room, which scared Jiang Peihua quickly pushed Yang Yuanqing away, his face flushed.
Yang Yuanqing sat up and saw Yang Fangxin walking into the house with a plain expression, as if nothing had happened. She nodded slightly to Yang Yuanqing, smiled politely, and walked to the other side of Jiang Peihua to sit down.
She also held Jiang Peihua's hand and asked with a smile: "Sister, I look good today. This morning, the midwife said that you are not in a good mood and you need to repair your body well. Why is it becoming rosy again now?"
Jiang Peihua felt very angry. After finally getting together with her husband, she came to disturb her and deliberately said something sarcastic.
Jiang Peihua bit her teeth lightly and twisted it under her arm. Yang Fangxin immediately exaggeratedly, "Oh! Sister, why are you pinching me?"
Jiang Peihua was embarrassed and whispered: "You damn girl, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why are you a little crazy!"
Yang Fangxin's face suddenly turned red, and she suddenly realized her incompetence. What did she do? Her husband and wife haven't seen each other for several months and she talked about private words together, but she came over for no reason. What is this?
Thinking of this, she stood up and smiled at Jiang Peihua and said, "I'm not crazy. I'm just here to greet my sister. Okay, after the greetings, I'm going back, I'll see you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out, as if she had forgotten Yang Yuanqing's existence. She didn't even say goodbye and left.
"She seems to have a lot of opinions about me." Yang Yuanqing remembered that she had just met her at the door, and she also looked at herself ignoring her.
Jiang Peihua shook her head and sighed, "That's just that you don't understand her. She is a little bitch and is smarter than anyone else. Two days ago, Mrs. Xiao visited me later and talked about her marriage."
‘Marriage?, Yang Yuanqing frowned slightly, “How old is she this year?”
"She is fourteen years old and can consider getting married."
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's still a little too young at the age of fourteen. It is recommended that she consider marriage when she is sixteen."
"Let's talk about this!"
Jiang Peihua said helplessly: "And this matter is a bit troublesome. Although Empress Xiao is her mother, she is not her biological child after all. Danyang doesn't care much about her mother. She has been there for a lot of days, so she has only visited her.
Once, and this was the only one visit, they had a fight."
"Why?" Yang Yuanqing asked in confusion.
"Empress Xiao asked her to move to Jinyang, and she turned against her immediately and kept saying that she did not want to be a nun in Jinyang Palace, which made Empress Xiao very angry. After saying a few words to her, she put on her father and said that she was the emperor.
The emperor would never let her be the emperor's daughter again. Anyway, her current personality is very strange and a little moody, making people unable to understand what she thinks in her heart."
Yang Yuanqing thought for a moment and didn't understand it. He stopped thinking too much and smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about her, let me listen to the child's heartbeat."
"Um!"
Jiang Peihua lay down flat, unbuttoned her clothes shyly, revealing her abdominal skin. Yang Yuanqing carefully put her ears on her lower abdomen and listened carefully to the fetus' heartbeat. Jiang Peihua gently stroked Yang Yuanqing's hair, his heart full of being a wife and being a human being
Mother's joy...".
The next morning, Yang Yuanqing came to Jinyang Palace to pay homage to Emperor Yang You of the Great Sui Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiao.
Yang Yuanqing wore a nine-python purple robe, a black-clouded gauze hat, black leather boots, and a Jiangshan sword on his waist. He dressed in a civil servant. He held an ivory scepter in his hand and walked in quickly under the guidance of two eunuchs.
The Jinyang Palace prayer hall was located in the Jinyang Palace, which was a place where the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty met with important guests.
In fact, the only thing Emperor Yang You did was to meet an envoy from the foreign dynasty by chance, who was just a symbol of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At this time, the little emperor Yang You and Empress Xiao were already sitting there. After more than a month in Jinyang Palace, she lived with her husband Yang Guang for more than a month. Many years ago, she lived in Jinyang Palace with her husband Yang Guang for more than a month.
Although the Jinyang Palace is large in scale, with hundreds of palaces, which are majestic and spectacular, Empress Xiao never likes Jinyang Palace because there is no spiritual and elegant atmosphere of Fenyang Palace, nor does it have the warm and beautiful color of Jiangdu Palace.
Hundreds of dry palaces.
But at this time, she liked Jinyang Palace very much because Jinyang brought her an unprecedented sense of security. In this palace, she was the lord of the palace, and even her husband Yang Guang's face didn't need to be seen at all.
Worrying that life is threatened.
But there is one thing that Queen Xiao knows very well that her safety and decent life in the second half of her life must rely on Yang Yuanqing. This young man controls her destiny, and she must completely obey his wishes and dare not disobey at all.
So she felt a little sick today, and she forced herself to come out to meet Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing quickly walked into the hall and bowed to salute, "My minister Yang Yuanqing met with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
In the hall, Empress Xiao was sitting in the main seat, and the little emperor Yang You sat on the other side. This was because Yang You was underage. Empress Xiao had received a note written by Mr. Yang yesterday, this battle in the Central Plains,
There is no need to award the title of the King of Chu again, just give the banquet and reward.
Empress Xiao knew that this was actually what Yang Yuanqing meant. Empress Xiao smiled slightly, "Your Highness's victory in the Central Plains has brought the fertile land of the Central Plains back to the Sui territory for thousands of miles. It has made great contributions. Ai's family is extremely pleased. He must reward His Highness, but he does not know that His Highness is willing.
Who is the official?”
Yang Yuanqing bowed and bowed again, "I reported to the Empress Dowager, it is my duty to open up the territory for the Great Sui Dynasty. I only did my own thing and did not dare to be rewarded by the Empress Dowager. I hope that the Empress Dowager would reward the soldiers more, so that they would truly make contributions.
The minister.”
"Ai family understands that the rewards of soldiers are made by the Ministry of War, which will be approved by Ziwei Pavilion. However, the Ai family cannot ignore the merits of His Highness of the Chu King. The King of Chu accepted the order!"
Yang Yuanqing had no consideration of his reward. He was already the most powerful minister and had no titles. It would be meaningless to have some strange official titles. Unexpectedly, Empress Xiao must have a title, so he could not helpless. He knew this
It was the Empress Dowager who was pleased by herself, so she had to bow and say, "Thank you for the reward."
Empress Xiao raised her voice and said loudly: "The King of Chu, Yuan Qing, took the Central Plains south to the south, made contributions to the country. He specially appointed the Taiwei, gave Panying Sword, and appointed his eldest daughter as the Princess of Yingchuan, and appointed his prince as the Prince of Xingyang. I hereby!
”
An eunuch came out holding a golden plate. There was a sword in the golden plate. The hilt was like black jade. This sword was the Emperor Panying Sword given to Yang Yuanqing by Yang Guang. The sword was made by Empress Xiao for this sword and
Yang Yuanqing's big move to dry the genitals.
Today, Empress Xiao gave the sword again to Yang Yuanqing, which was a disguised apology.
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but look at Xiao Hou, and Xiao Hou also looked at him. The two of them looked at each other and smiled with understanding.
