"Your Majesty, don't blame them. I was worried that Your Majesty would be angry, so I came here!" Queen Xiao replied gently, as if the child sitting in her arms was an angry child.
Yang Guang has always respected and loved Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao was born in the south with the surname Xiao. Regardless of her bloodline, character, appearance, and wisdom, she is a one-in-a-million talent. After so many years of marriage, no matter how happy the days are,
No matter the days of worry, the two of them have always supported each other through it.
In the days when the Jin Palace was pretending to be frugal in order to seize the legitimate heir, Mrs. Xiao never complained about the hardships of life. When she entered the imperial palace, Mrs. Xiao did not forget her duties as a wife because of her happiness. In addition to preferring her second son Yang Jian,
Apart from that, Yang Guang has always been very satisfied with Empress Xiao, and the two have a very deep relationship. This is also the reason why Yang Guang has not had many concubines in his harem for so many years.
"Oh, I'm so wronged!" Yang Guang sighed with red eyes, raised his head from Queen Xiao's arms, and reached out to push away the memorial beside him.
Empress Xiao smiled and moved her body, using her hands and feet to gather the surrounding memorials to her side. She picked them up one by one and placed them in piles.
"Alas!" Yang Guang sighed again, turned sideways, and gathered the memorials near his arm into a pile.
"Come here, Your Majesty!" Queen Xiao said softly, her voice was as soft as a spring breeze, falling in Yang Guang's ears, but it was soothing his wounded heart. While speaking, Queen Xiao held her hand
He moved faster and cleared the carpet between the two of them.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Empress Xiao casually placed the memorial at her feet and comforted her in a low voice.
"They are making up rumors based on facts!" Yang Guang straightened his body and tried to make his wife lean more comfortably. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can bear it if they make other rumors, but there are some things in those rumors that I can't do at all, but they are all doing it."
It’s like you’ve seen it with your own eyes, and it speaks so clearly!”
"Rumors stop with the wise! Your Majesty, ignore them. As time goes by, they will naturally subside!" Empress Xiao stretched her shoulders and gently held Yang Guang in her arms, using all her tenderness to soothe Yang Guang's injured soul.
"They said that I was a prostitute, obsessed with beauty and neglecting government affairs, and..." Yang Guang shook his head helplessly, and continued: "These damn people actually said that I was greedy for Zhang Lihua's beauty, so they sent someone to assassinate me.
Got Yang Su!"
"Pfft!" Queen Xiao couldn't help laughing: "This... these things have no real evidence. Even if His Majesty really likes a woman, it is His Majesty's private matter, what does it have to do with them!"
Queen Xiao's smile was still very gentle, falling in Yang Guang's eyes, making his mind gradually settle down and calm down.
"Are you not angry at all?" Yang Guang asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Zhang Lihua has been dead for more than 20 years. Even if she was not dead then, she is still over sixty now, an old lady with chicken skin and gray hair. How can I argue with her for no reason? As for the sisters in the palace, Your Majesty
No one knows who you are addicted to and who you don't like better than I, so why listen to outsiders' gossip!" Queen Xiao looked at the flowing clouds outside the window and replied quietly.
His Majesty the Emperor is not a lustful person. If we insist that he is addicted to beauty, he may be the most addicted to it.
"Although the queen is a woman, she is much smarter than those officials!" Yang Guang praised with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, these rumors are obviously deliberately spread by someone, and they can be spread in such a short period of time. They must have some means to spread rumors quickly." Queen Xiao's eyes flashed, and she helped Yang Guang analyze it with a solemn expression.
Yang Guang looked deeply convinced, nodded and said: "What the Queen said is absolutely true. In the Queen's opinion, who is the thief behind this?"
Empress Xiao pondered for a while and said: "I heard that the folk Xiaoyu Theater is now popular all over the world. Many people believe in the stories told by the storytellers and the things performed in it. These rumors have spread all over the world in such a short period of time.
Rumor has it that it has something to do with the Xiaoyu Theater."
Yang Guang's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Does the queen know whose property this Xiaoyu Theater belongs to?"
A cold light flashed in the depths of Queen Xiao's eyes, and she shook her head and said: "I stay in the palace all day long, how do you know about this kind of thing? Your Majesty, you can ask Xu Jingzong, the blue-clothed guard, to investigate. I think it will be done soon."
Found it."
"The queen's words make sense." Yang Guang immediately called the eunuch outside the door and said: "Send a message to Xu Jingzong and ask him to check whose property the Xiaoyu Theater is and whether they are secretly spreading these rumors."
…
…
As the only representative of the Yuwen family, Prince Consort Yu Wenshi attended the imperial meeting today and witnessed and participated in the ministers blocking His Majesty the Emperor's decision to establish a general administration office for the Far East March. He felt very happy, but when he thought of his father and younger brother
After taking the antidote given by Wang Junlin, it didn't seem to get any better, so my heart sank again.
His father and younger brother Yuwen Zhiji were ill in bed, and his elder brother Yu Wenhuaji was unwilling to let Wang Junlin escape. He took all the force the Yuwen family could muster to chase Wang Junlin, hoping to find an opportunity to kill Wang Junlin, so now the Yuwen family
He was doing everything by himself, and he never had a moment of leisure from morning to night every day.
Yuwenshiji, who was frowning, had just turned onto Zhuque Street and had not yet stepped into the stirrups. A dozen family members were already gathering around him, panting. Before Yuwenshi could ask questions, the leading housekeeper cried with red eyes:
"Second Young Master, you are back. Master, Master, he is dying, wuwuwuwu..."
"What, what happened to father?" Yu Wenshiji felt his heart tighten when he heard this, and tried his best to slow down his tone and asked.
"The master had tea at noon today, and was anxious to hear the second son's report on the court's movements. As a result, after waiting for more than an hour for you to return, the master felt anxious and wanted to get up and go out for a walk. Several servants came forward to help him.
As he straightened up from the bed, half of the master's body suddenly turned black!" The old housekeeper who had been in the Yuwen family for many years cried and reported with tears in his eyes.
"Then why don't you go and invite the doctor? Why are you waiting for me?" Yu Wenshiji became anxious and asked loudly.
"Please, several famous antidote doctors in the capital have come, and they all say that they are unable to save themselves." The old housekeeper cried.
Note: According to official historical records, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao had a deep relationship, which resulted in Yang Guang accepting very few concubines, which was completely different from the playboy emperor in unofficial history. Empress Xiao gave birth to Yang Zhao when Yang Guang was seventeen years old.
Calculated according to a woman's childbearing age, she was over sixty when she returned to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is pure nonsense to say that Li Shimin accepted her into the harem.
