PS: I will be with my wife to take the exam soon, and the editor is also urging me to put it on the shelves. Fortunately, Lao Yu did not bring a bank card and could not perform certification, so he could only put it on the shelves tomorrow. Today, because there is less time, I can only change one chapter of four thousand words. I hope everyone can understand.

"Madam Sui?" Li Yan asked strangely. Today, the mother called him and Li Ke and actually said she wanted to take them to visit the Madam Sui. However, Li Yan had never heard of this person, let alone know where the other party came from?

"You muscular boy, did you call Mrs. Sui State?" Yang Fei angrily reached out and pointed Li Yan's head. However, Li Ke was stunned when he heard the name. He didn't look like Li Yan, and he didn't know anything. He had heard of the name Mrs. Sui State, and he also knew the complex relationship between the other party and his mother.

However, Concubine Yang then said with some remorse: "Oh, I'm also blamed for this. No matter what, she is your grandmother, and she has suffered so much. As a daughter, I have never taken you to see her once."

"Grandma?" Li Yan was also stunned when he heard this title. Thinking about his mother's life experience, he immediately thought of someone. The only one who could make him call him grandma should be the miserable Empress Xiao. At the same time, Li Yan suddenly understood why the old Duke Xiao took care of him so much. The Empress Xiao was Xiao Yu's own sister. He was his uncle. And he heard that the relationship between them was very good. It seemed that Xiao Yu was demoted by his father Li Shimin once because of writing a letter to this sister.

"Mother, what happened back then..." Li Ke knew a lot about Concubine Yang. He didn't understand what happened to his mother today. Why did he want to see his nominal grandmother?

"Okay, no one can mention the matter back then!" Concubine Yang glared at Li Ke, and then ordered Li Jing, "Ye'er, you are not allowed to ask again. Although the wife of Sui State is not my biological mother, she is nominally my legitimate mother and your grandmother. So after arriving, they will show me respect, especially you, please put away your slick tongue, otherwise I will come back to deal with you!"

Seeing his mother's maternal madman get angry, Li Ke and Li Yan immediately stopped talking. Although Li Yan really wanted to know what happened between his mother's mother and Empress Xiao, it was obviously not the time. There are many records about his grandmother in his name in history, and there are more rumors in unofficial history. However, whether it is official or unofficial history, there are very few descriptions of Empress Xiao's return to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, she was named the Lady of Sui by her father.

After getting the two sons together, Concubine Yang asked someone to prepare some gifts. Now Concubine Yang is not as good as before. She can't take anything decent. Even if Li Ke was filial to her, she gave it to Li Yan. Li Ke had complaints about her mother. However, after Li Yan was well-off, he immediately respected Concubine Yang in every few days and went to the palace to give some gifts. He was generous and rewarded the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. Now, as long as Li Yan enters the palace, a bunch of people would immediately rush to serve.

After preparing several more expensive gifts, he selected some common gifts. Then Concubine Yang took the Li Yan brothers and went to the Sui Madam's Mansion in a carriage. Although he was the queen of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin was very generous to her. Not only was he named the Sui Madam, but his mansion was on the edge of the imperial city, occupying nearly half of the area of ​​the arch, which was almost equivalent to Li Yan's Liang Palace. Of course, it is unknown whether this is based on the sons of Concubine Yang and Xiao Yu.

Although the mansion is large and gorgeous, for some reason, when Li Yan saw the mansion of the Sui State in the carriage, he always felt an indescribable bleakness. Even in this hot summer, the mansion was filled with gloomy coldness. Fortunately, it was in the summer when plants were lush. If the autumn wind was blowing away the leaves, the mansion would probably be similar to the ghost house.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the ghost house, but found that there was no servant at the door. An eunuch brought by Concubine Yang immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. The empty knocking sounded for a long time. Finally, someone opened a gap in the door. An old man with white hair stuck out his head, squinted his eyes and looked at them, and then asked lazily: "Who are you looking for?"

Although the old man's voice was very old, it was a bit harsh. And seeing his chin was naked, it was not difficult to guess that the other party should be an old eunuch.

"Wu Liang'an, I didn't expect you to be so old?" Before the eunuch knocking on the door answered, Yang Fei, who had been staring at the door in the carriage, suddenly spoke, with a feeling of change in her low tone.

Hearing Yang Fei's voice, a trace of doubt flashed in the old eunuch's eyes and turned to look at the carriage. Although the distance was not far, his old eyes were so dizzy that he could not see the appearance of the person in the carriage.

Concubine Yang sighed and got up to get out of the car. Li Yan was the first to jump down and help his mother down. When Concubine Yang walked closer, the old eunuch finally saw the appearance of the visitor. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then her face immediately turned to ecstasy. She pushed the door open and ran for two steps, and went forward and knelt down on the ground and said excitedly: "Old slave Wu Liang'an, see Your Highness the Ninth Princess! Your Highness Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Thousand Years Th

Suddenly, when she heard the title of "Nine Princess", Yang Fei was stunned. She had not heard this familiar title for many years. She was ranked ninth among all the sisters, so everyone in the palace called the Ninth Princess. However, since the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, she went to the palace to be Li Shimin's concubine. This title has never been mentioned again. After that, as time passed, the name Ninth Princess gradually forgot even herself.

"Get up!" Looking at the old friend in front of you, thinking of some past events, Concubine Yang couldn't help but turn red in her eyes, and reached out to help him up and said, "I heard that Mrs. Sui was not feeling well, but I don't know how it is now?"

The old eunuch named Wu Liang'an stood up and wiped his tears. When he heard Yang Fei's question, he immediately replied: "Your Highness, because the weather was too hot a few days ago, the queen was a little uneasy, and she was in poor health. She had hired the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine for recuperation, and now her health is fine." Although the Sui Dynasty has been destroyed for many years, Wu Liang'an still called Yang Fei and Empress Xiao the same name. However, he is so old and is a eunuch, so he is not afraid that someone will cause trouble for him because of such a small matter.

Wu Liangan suddenly stopped here, and then slapped himself hard and said, "Your Highness, I am so confused. I have let you stand outside the door for so long. Your Highness, please come in quickly. I will go and report the message to the queen. If she hears you coming, she will definitely be very happy!" As he said that, he welcomed Concubine Yang in enthusiastically and arranged for someone to lead them to the main hall to entertain guests. He himself rushed to the backyard to announce the good news to Mrs. Sui at a speed that was inconsistent with his age. It really made people worry that his old bone would automatically disintegrate halfway.

Li Yan took this opportunity to carefully look at the mansion of the Lady of Sui State, which had a heavy yin energy, but found that there seemed to be nothing special in the mansion. When you enter the main entrance, there was a wide avenue, leading directly into the main hall where guests were entertained. However, unlike Li Yan's mansion, there was not a flat square in front of the main hall, but except for the avenue they were walking on, they were all planted with flowers and plants, but they didn't seem to be taken care of frequently, and some flowers and plants grew on the road.

They followed the servant who led the way into the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, they smelled a faint sense of old aura. Although the inside of the hall was very clean, it seemed that someone should have been cleaning it often, but the owner might not have used it for a long time, so it was because the hall was lacking in anger. Entering here was like entering an old house that had been uninhabited for many years, making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

Concubine Yang looked around the situation in the hall and sat down silently, but there was a hint of sadness on her face. Li Ke and Li Yan also knew that their mother was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb her. They sat down honestly under Concubine Yang's lower head.

After waiting for a while, I heard a sound of fast and messy footsteps behind the back hall. However, when I walked to the corner door of the hall, the footsteps suddenly stopped. After a while, an old hand lifted the bead curtain on the corner door, and then a white-haired figure slowly walked out from inside.

Li Yan looked up and found that an old woman came in. Although she was wearing a very ordinary skirt and her thin body was slightly hunched, she stood there with a majestic aura that made people dare not look at her. However, the majestic old woman now has a bit of sick look on her face, and her forehead and eyes are covered with fine lines, looking a little haggard. Needless to ask, this old woman must be the Empress Xiao of the previous dynasty, now the Lady of the Sui Kingdom.

As soon as the Queen Xiao came in, she immediately saw Concubine Yang sitting on the chair. Her eyes showed an excited look, her face turned a little unnatural flushed. She spoke in a trembling voice: "Jiu...Jiu Niang! You finally... finally come to see Mom!"

Although it was only a few short sentences, the old lady burst into tears. She reached out and walked forward a few steps, as if she wanted to touch Yang Fei's face. However, because she was too excited and had just recovered from the illness, before she could walk to Yang Fei, her body suddenly leaned forward and was about to fall. The servants who came with her screamed in fear, and wanted to rush up but it was too late. Fortunately, Yang Fei reacted very quickly and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and held the old man with one hand, thus avoiding a tragedy.

Seeing his nominal mother so excited, Concubine Yang sighed in her heart, helped her up and said softly: "Mother, it's her daughter who is unfilial. She only came to visit her mother today."

"No, it's because my mother is not good. I was so harsh to you mother and daughter back then. I originally thought that Jiu Niang, you will never forgive me for your mother in your life, but I didn't expect that Jiu Niang, you are magnanimous and can still visit me, an ominous person, me~I..." In the end, Queen Xiao was sobbing, with endless regret in her expression and tone.

Concubine Yang's mother was one of Yang Guang's concubines. Because of her beautiful appearance and gentle personality, she was very favored. However, this caused Queen Xiao's dissatisfaction, so she would make excuses to blame Concubine Yang and her daughter from time to time. Concubine Yang's mother was depressed. In addition, she had always been in poor health. In the last serious illness, she actually died. Yang Guang also cried bitterly. Concubine Yang had already remembered that she believed that her mother's death had a direct relationship with Queen Xiao's intentional blame, so she had always treated her.

Very hostile, and Empress Xiao did not like this ninth princess who looked very much like her mother. She was also very distant from her. She only thought of her if there was any good thing. Yang Guang had many children and rarely thought of her having such a daughter. So when he visited Jiangdu, almost all the princes and princesses went there, but only one was missing from Concubine Yang. However, Concubine Yang escaped and became Li Shimin's concubine. Empress Xiao was displaced and suffered all the suffering of the country and family destruction.

Although Empress Xiao indirectly saved Concubine Yang's life, Concubine Yang was not grateful to her. After all, Empress Xiao had an unshirkable responsibility for her biological mother's death. In addition to the conflicts and hostility with Empress Xiao during her youth, Empress Xiao was still an unforgivable person in the eyes of Concubine Yang. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Empress Xiao returned to the Tang Dynasty, but Concubine Yang, the nominal daughter, never came to see her, and she never looked good about Xiao Yu. When she knew that Li Yan was engaged to Xiao Wenxin, the reason why she firmly opposed it was that in addition to Xiao Wenxin's identity as a concubine daughter, she also did not want her son to have any connection with their Xiao family.

"Oh~ Mother, everything happened back then. After experiencing so many things, what else can you and I not be able to see it?" Concubine Yang sighed and said with a desolate look on her face.

After experiencing the tragedy of the country and the family, Concubine Yang's hatred for Empress Xiao had become much less indifferent, but the deepest hatred in her heart could not be eliminated. The words Xiao Yu asked Li Yan to convey to Concubine Yang made Concubine Yang feel a little sympathetic to Empress Xiao's miserable late state. Later, after learning that Li Yan was falsely accused of rebellion because of a Tubo slave, Concubine Yang suddenly realized that Li Ke and Li Yan did not have a reliable helper in the court.

After discovering this situation, as a mother who is very sensitive to politics, Concubine Yang immediately made a decision, which was to win over the Xiao family and let Xiao Yu become her son's eyes and help in the court. That's why she suddenly changed her attitude towards Xiao Wenxin, and put aside the grudges with Queen Xiao, and came to visit her in person. All she did was for Li Ke and Li Yan, the two sons.
