When Queen Xiao heard Yang Fei's words, she felt a little emotional. After experiencing the pain of the country's destruction and family destruction, the personal grievances in the past were actually nothing compared to this pain. Moreover, after this great disaster, very few of the royal family of the former Sui Yang family survived, and even fewer were even fewer of the direct royal family. Queen Xiao's only one of her generation. As for her children, there were only Concubine Yang and another Princess of Nanyang. However, the miserable Princess Nanyang has now become a monk and become a Taoist nun, but she ignores the world, let alone serve Queen Xiao, so Concubine Yang is almost considered the only child of Queen Xiao.

After more than ten years of displaced life, Empress Xiao looked down on everything. What is wealth and power? It was just a passing cloud in her heart. The only thing she couldn't see was only a family affection, and what she lacked around her was the family affection that people often overlooked.

Her husband and son were all dead, and her only daughter became a monk again. Although she had a relative, Yang Zhengdao, the relationship between her grandson and grandson was not very harmonious. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao established a new mansion and did not live in the Sui Madam's Mansion. Therefore, Empress Xiao had no relatives around her. Even when she was sick, she had only the servants in the mansion to take care of her. Apart from her younger brother Xiao Yu, there were no one else to visit her, and she usually had no one to talk.

Every night when she wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks of her murdered husband and son, Empress Xiao will cry secretly. Sometimes she even wants to commit suicide. After all, what is more miserable than having no place to rely on in old age? Although there is a daughter in Chang'an City, she did the same thing as sorry for Concubine Yang. Now she thinks she is extremely regretful, but it is too late. So no matter how lonely Empress Xiao is, she can't stand it and look for Concubine Yang. But what she didn't expect was that Concubine Yang would actually come to the door in person today. Visiting her nominal mother, this surprised Queen Xiao and didn't even care about dressing up. She quickly walked to the hall in her usual clothes just to take a look at Concubine Yang earlier.

Seeing Queen Xiao’s expression was excited and her thin body was trembling. Concubine Yang was afraid that she would not stand firmly, so she hurriedly helped her into her seat, then turned her head to instruct the brothers Li Ke and Li Yan and said, “What are you doing when you are stunned? Why don’t you come and pay homage to your grandmother?”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately stood up and took two steps forward and knelt down on the ground and said, "Great son Li Ke, Li Yan. Pay homage to grandmother!"

Seeing the two grandsons kneeling in front of him, Queen Xiao, who was sad, lit up her eyes and stood up again excitedly, and helped each of them up with one hand. She was so happy that she couldn't stop talking, "Hurry up, please get up!"

Queen Xiao's happy face smiled. She was about to look at her two grandchildren carefully, but when she saw Li Ke, she was fine, but when she saw Li Yan's appearance, the smile on her face suddenly froze, her eyes were shocked, and her open mouth forgot to close, standing there motionless.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Yang sighed in her heart, and she had already expected her reaction to Queen Xiao. Li Ke and Li Yan also discovered Queen Xiao's abnormality. They looked at each other and couldn't figure out the situation in front of her, especially Li Yan. Could it be that flowers were growing on her face? Otherwise, why did this grandmother who had met for the first time stare at her?

Queen Xiao's eyes were first shocked, then confused, and finally turned into ecstasy. Then she burst into tears of excitement. She stepped forward and grabbed Li Yan's arm tightly, and screamed like an old juan's blood crying: "Your Majesty!"

This scared Li Yan very much and wondered if this old lady had Alzheimer's disease? Why did she suddenly call herself Your Majesty? How could such a name be called randomly? Maybe it would really cause death if it was heard by those who were interested.

Li Ke was also frightened and looked at Yang Fei for help. Yang Fei sighed, holding Queen Xiao's arm with one hand, and patting the other hand with the other hand, and said softly: "Mother, my father has been dead for many years. What stands in front of you is my son and your grandson, but he looks very similar to his father."

Empress Xiao is also a woman with extremely tenacious mind. She suddenly saw Li Yan's appearance as her husband when she was a teenager. She was in a state of great emotion and was confused for a moment that Li Yan was mistaken for her husband Yang Guang, so she called the word Your Majesty. However, reason then prevailed. After all, people cannot be resurrected, and her husband was over fifty when he died. How could he suddenly become like a teenager standing in front of him? At this time, Concubine Yang's explanation brought Empress Xiao back to reality.

However, even though she knew that the person in front of her was not her husband, Queen Xiao still looked at Li Yan blankly, and tears kept flowing in her faint eyes: It has been more than ten years, and her husband has passed away for more than ten years. In recent years, she can only meet her husband in dreams. However, Li Yan in front of her now, in terms of appearance and temperament, is exactly the same as Yang Guang back then, and even her, the closest person, would admit her mistake.

When the Sui Dynasty was still there, Yang Guang was the heaven of Empress Xiao. The two were young couples. They had experienced many ups and downs along the way. However, no matter how big the matter happened, as long as the husband was there, Empress Xiao would be extremely at ease, because she knew that her husband was the emperor of the world and the master of the world, and nothing could be difficult to defeat him.

But one day, her sky collapsed. After the country was destroyed, she began a lonely life. In order to preserve the last bit of Yang's blood, she had to commit herself to the thief and endure the humiliation of the world. Sometimes she would have fantasy. It would be great if her husband was still there. If he was still alive, he would definitely not suffer so much. He would not have to be like a rootless duckweed, and he could only endure it silently.

Thinking of the scenery and warmth of her husband when she was there, and thinking about the desolation of the old realm now, even if Empress Xiao is strong, she can't help but lose her mind and burst into tears. Concubine Yang looked at her mother who was crying in front of her. She was not as good as her mother's demeanor in the world. Now she is just a poor old man, a poor old woman who has lost her husband, son, and grandson. Looking at Empress Xiao's appearance, Concubine Yang felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She reached out to hold her in her arms, and the knot between the mother and daughter finally disappeared without a trace.

Li Yan was shocked now, and he didn't know until today. It turned out that his appearance was very similar to his 25-year-old grandfather. No wonder Li Shimin didn't like him so much before. Although there was also the reason why Li Yan was too naughty in the past, his appearance must also account for a large part.

Li Ke was also looking at Li Yan carefully, and at the same time he was thinking: His grandfather who was causing chaos in the world was like Chang Liulang? But the two of them were really similar. Liulang was not a worry-free master, so that was nothing. He was definitely one of the best among the brothers, but he was not considerate when doing things. He was stubborn and hard. If he was really allowed to be the throne of the Tang Dynasty, it was very likely that the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty would be reproduced.

Empress Xiao hugged Concubine Yang and cried bitterly. It seemed that she would vent all the grievances she suffered over the years. The servants around her retreated with tactfulness, and only the four of Yang Concubine and the others were left in the hall.

After a while, Queen Xiao stopped crying and turned around and wiped her eyes with Li Yan and the others on her back. Then she turned around and said in a hoarse voice: "Ke'er, Yan'er, my grandmother lost her composure just now, which made you laugh."

"Mother, they are both your juniors, how dare you disrespect you?" Yang Fei said happily when she saw that Empress Xiao finally returned to her peace.

"What my mother said is that my grandmother has a deep relationship with her grandfather. When she saw her grandson, she was fascinated by love and thought of her grandfather who died early, so she lost her composure. However, this also shows that my grandmother, you are deeply in love with her husband and wife. If your grandson is too envious, how can you make fun of her?" Li Yan deliberately made an envious expression and said seriously.

At his age, it would seem a bit funny to say such old-fashioned words. After all, in the eyes of others, how could he understand the deep love between husband and wife at such a young age? But Li Yan wanted this effect. After all, when Empress Xiao cried like this, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little awkward, so she wanted to liven up the atmosphere. When everyone smiled, there was no embarrassment.

After hearing Li Yan's words, Concubine Yang and Li Ke couldn't help laughing, but Queen Xiao was stunned, her eyes became confused again, and she muttered to herself: "It looks~ it looks~ it's exactly like him back then!"

However, after saying that, Empress Xiao immediately woke up. However, she was so old that she didn't have to worry about anything. She generously showed a loving smile to Li Yan. After greeting Concubine Yang and Li Ke, she pulled Li Yan by her side and asked with great concern. Even the matter of how many bowls of rice Li Yan eats every day was not missed.

But what made Li Yan a little strange was that his grandmother seemed to know nothing about him, and she didn't even know about the engagement between him and Xiao Wenxin. It is said that Xiao Yu is her younger brother, and the two have a good relationship, so they will come to see him from time to time. How could he not even know such a thing?

After hearing the marriage between Li Yan and Xiao Wenxin, Empress Xiao first talked about Xiao Yu a few words, but then she was very happy and said that she would let Xiao Yu bring Xiao Wenxin another day and that she would check for Li Yan. If she couldn't pass, she would change it to him. Anyway, Xiao Yu had many granddaughters, so she would definitely find a suitable one. Li Yan was sweating profusely, but she didn't expect that his fiancée could also return and exchange.

Empress Xiao only cared about Li Yan, but left her other grandson Li Ke aside. However, Li Ke was not dissatisfied with it, and he could understand this situation. At the same time, he finally knew why his mother loved Li Yan so much, probably because her younger brother looked very similar to her grandfather.

Concubine Yang and Li Yan chatted with Queen Xiao. At noon, they had a meal with her. The whole family was having fun, and finally made the cold hall more angry. It was not until dark that Queen Xiao reluctantly let them go back and told them to come and see her more when it was okay in the future. Of course, this sentence was mainly said to Li Yan.

Just as Concubine Yang took Li Yan and Li Ke was about to get up and leave, suddenly Empress Xiao slapped her forehead, remembered something, and hurriedly called them, and then ordered to Wu Liang'an, the old eunuch standing beside her, "Liang'an, go and I bring the sandalwood box on the head of my bed. Today I was so happy that I was confused. How could I not have a meeting ceremony when I came to my house for the first time?"

Wu Liangan was stunned when he heard Queen Xiao’s orders, and said with a nervous look: “Empress, those things…”
