The imperial city is approaching the Spring Festival, and the palace, which is usually strict, is much relaxed. Many young palace maids are playing in the palace in groups, and the elderly palace maids are also crazy. They are rarely smiling on their faces that have been stern for many years. Compared with these unduly-official palace maids, the palace maids in Wangyun Palace are not so relaxed, because today, they naturally have to serve the concubines of Concubine Yang.

"Your Majesty, try this steamed osmanthus fish made by me. Liulang knew that I like to eat fish, so he specially sent someone to ship from the south. He just sent it to the palace today. Although it was not as fat as in autumn, it was also very delicious!" Concubine Yang picked up a piece of fish for Li Shimin with a happy look and urged him to try his cooking skills quickly.

The reason why Concubine Yang was so happy today was that in addition to Li Shimin coming to her place, Li Yan, who was thousands of miles away, also brought gifts for the New Year today. It was fine to have all kinds of rare things. The key was that her son knew her preferences and transported a lot of live fish from the south from thousands of miles away. This thought made her the most gratifying thing about being a mother.

Li Shimin also picked up the fish meat with a smile on his face and tasted it, then immediately praised loudly: "My beloved has the best cooking skills in the world, and it is naturally delicious!"

Although Li Shimin's behavior seemed very normal, he never moved his chopsticks after taking a bite. Obviously, he had something to worry about. Concubine Yang accompanied Li Shimin for many years and naturally knew his temperament and habits very well, and immediately saw his strangeness.

"Your Majesty, but the war in Goguryeo is not going well?" Yang Fei asked with great concern. Her father Yang Guang, who had conquered Goguryeo many times, caused public grievances in the country, can be said to be one of the direct reasons for the rise of all the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, now she is also worried that her husband will also fall into the same thing.

"Haha, don't worry about Goguryeo. Moreover, Gou'er has done a great job in Dengzhou. It is precisely because of his cleverness and cleverness that Dengzhou has now supported nearly half of the army on the front line. Today, Xuanling is still praising Gou'er in front of me, which also makes me very pleased." Li Shimin said here, looking at Yang Fei with infinite tenderness and said, "Love, thank you for giving birth to a good son for me!"

"Hehehe~, look at what Your Majesty said, I can give birth to a good son. Isn't it half of His Majesty's contribution?" Yang Fei heard what Li Shimin said interestingly and praised her son, and couldn't help but smile charmingly.

Seeing that Concubine Yang smiled like a flower. Although she was already a mother of two children, she was still as beautiful as a beauty in the 28th woman, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little moved. He reached out and gently stroked the messy hair in Concubine Yang's ears behind her, and said affectionately: "Jiu Niang, you and I have known each other since I was a child, but I never dreamed that that little princess with a arrogant face in the palace would become my Li Shimin's woman, and she had two capable sons with me. It seems that the heavens are really treating me!"

When he heard Li Shimin's mood, he actually called out his nickname. Concubine Yang's face was a little blushed. He also heard him mention the old things back then. Thinking of his childhood, he had a big change afterwards. At least his husband knew to regret him, so he couldn't help but feel a little sweet. In addition, his two sons were about to become adults, and they were all among the most powerful people. Concubine Yang felt even happier. She felt that being able to accompany the man in this life was the greatest blessing in his life.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yang couldn't help but snuggle gently in Li Shimin's arms and whispered: "It is also a blessing for Jiu Niang to be able to meet and accompany you. Now I only want my husband to be healthy, and Ke'er and Yan'er can also have a safe life. In addition, if you can accompany your husband for a lifetime, if you can't, even if you let Jiu Niang die now, I will never be shocked."

Li Shimin hugged the jade man in his arms. He was very excited when he listened to the deep affection that appeared in her words. He could no longer hold back and suddenly lowered his head and kissed Yang Fei's jade lips. At first, Yang Fei was a little surprised, but soon became addicted to it and responded enthusiastically.

Although the two have been married for many years, perhaps the conversation just now made them find the passion they had when they were newly married again. Therefore, Li Shimin was very wild. Suddenly, he picked up Yang Fei and strode into her bedroom. Yang Fei also responded with enough enthusiasm. In a short while, a breath of warm and heart-beating sound came from the bedroom...

The cold night is long and the lotus tent is warm. The spring in the bedroom of Wangyun Palace has been slowly dissipated after a long time. Concubine Yang on the couch is limp and leaning on Li Shimin's chest. Listening to the powerful heartbeat of his husband like a war drum, his face is full of happiness, and there is still a trace of spring in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Li Shimin thoughtfully pulled the quilt and covered Yang Fei's naked shoulders so that she would not catch a cold. However, compared to Yang Fei's happiness, Li Shimin frowned slightly after the joy, as if there were any worries that he could not forget at this time?

Concubine Yang quickly discovered the abnormality of her husband. She looked up and saw Li Shimin's expression. She stretched out her jade hand with some heartache and gently smoothed his forehead. Then she asked: "Husband, you are full of your thoughts. If you may as well, can you tell me, keeping it in your heart will hurt your body."

Li Shimin looked down at Concubine Yang, and suddenly sighed and said, "Jiu Niang, I can only talk to you about this!"

"What exactly is it that makes Your Majesty so embarrassed?" Concubine Yang asked curiously.

"Yesterday...Yesterday..." Li Shimin's expression suddenly became a little depressed, and he rarely spoke. Concubine Yang was very surprised and raised her head to stare at Li Shimin.

"Oh, I had an argument with the queen yesterday!" Li Shimin suddenly sighed heavily, and his face became even more depressed.

"Sister?" Concubine Yang was shocked after hearing this. Although she knew that her husband favored her, as an emperor, his favor would not be given only to herself. In the harem, in addition to her, the other one who was most favored by Li Shimin was Empress Changsun. Fortunately, they had a good relationship, so there was no need to worry about competing for favor.

"Husband, is it because of the prince?" With Concubine Yang's intelligence, she quickly thought of the reason for the two's dispute. Only this incident can make Empress Changsun turn against each other and fight for her son.

Li Shimin naturally knew the intelligence of the person next to him. He was not surprised that Concubine Yang could guess. He nodded and said, "Yes, yesterday the queen blamed me, saying that I favored other princes too much, but was too strict with the prince. Moreover, after the prince was injured, he did not fulfill the responsibilities that a father should fulfill. Instead, he had the idea of ​​Yi Chu in his heart, and said that as a father, it would be too unfair to the prince."

When he said this, Li Shimin sighed in frustration, turned to look at Concubine Yang and asked, "Jiu Niang, do you think I'm really doing something wrong?"

When Concubine Yang heard her husband's question, she was smiling secretly. She was naturally very clear about her husband's thoughts. Speaking of which, the queen was right. Compared to Li Tai and other princes, Li Shimin was indeed too harsh on the prince. Moreover, after the prince was injured, Li Shimin, who had always loved face, also had the idea of ​​Yi Chu. However, after being exposed by the queen in person yesterday, he knew that he was doing something wrong. The reason why he came to him today was probably just to get some comfort.

"As the king of a country, he is in charge of all people in the world, and the prince is the king of the future. Therefore, it is natural for the husband to be stricter on him. However, as a mother, the sister is a little unfair to see the child being wronged. Therefore, the husband does not have to be angry, so the wife will not hurt your relationship with her. As long as you take care of the prince more in the future, and the prince is not young, you can also ask him to help deal with some political affairs. In this way, my sister must have no complaints."

Although Yang Fei's words seemed to be helping Li Shimin, the meaning contained in the words was that he did something wrong, but she said it very tactfully, and even helped her husband think of the solution later, so Li Shimin felt very comfortable listening.

"It's still Jiu Niang who is intimate, and she thinks so much for her husband. She just hopes that the prince will not let me down again!" Li Shimin tightened his arms with relief and asked Concubine Yang to press her chest tightly. But when he said the last sentence, his tone was a little depressed. He was really not very relieved about his eldest son's temperament.

"Don't worry, husband. I think Cheng Qian is pretty good. He is calm and has a good attitude and is also concerned about politics. Even Ke'er is not as good as him, let alone that lazy guy Liulang." Speaking of the prince, Concubine Yang had a good impression of him and compared his two sons.

Hearing that Concubine Yang kept talking to the prince and mentioned Liu Lang, a thought suddenly flashed through Li Shimin's mind, so he smiled and said to Concubine Yang: "Jiu Niang, in my opinion, Liu Lang is much stronger than Cheng Qian in all aspects, especially in terms of cleverness and intelligence. Not to mention the princes, it is difficult to find out how many people can compare with Liu Lang even in the world."

Li Shimin paused slightly when he said this, and then asked in a joking tone: "I am very satisfied with Liulang's son, my father. Why don't I pass the throne to him?"

Although Yang Fei knew that Li Shimin was joking, she was still shocked when she heard this and hurriedly wanted to stand up and refuse, but Li Shimin hugged her tightly, making her unable to move. However, after struggling for a few times, Yang Fei still said: "Your Majesty, don't joke about such things. The throne is related to the people of the world. Although Liu Lang is smart, with his personality, he is really not a master of being an emperor!"

Concubine Yang's refusal was not to act, but to really not want her son to intervene in the throne struggle. As a princess who lost his country, she naturally knows the cruelty of the imperial power struggle than anyone else. In addition, her identity made her two sons born with flaws in the throne, so she had long given up on her plan to fight for the throne, hoping that they could be a prince of peace and peace.

"Hahaha~, beloved, don't be nervous. Liulang has lofty ambitions. You, a mother, are not as clear as me, as a father!" When talking about this, Li Shimin remembered the ambitions that Li Yan showed to him when he presented the world map to him. It was through that incident that Li Shimin knew that there was such an amazing person among his son. (To be continued)
