After Yang Gao and Dou Xianniang got married, Dou Xianniang seemed to be a different person, taking good care of Yang Gao's food, accommodation, and transportation along the way. In this way, another fourteen or five days passed, and Yang Gao finally returned to Jiangdu City.
At the gate of Jiangdu City, the civil and military officials were led by several prime ministers, including Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ju, Taifu Su Wei, Duzhi Shangshu Xiao Yu, Shangshu Ling Yu Yunwen, and Rites Shangshu Cen Wenwen, as well as the two generals Yang Lin and Chen Ling, the backing kings. He stood neatly dressed and solemnly, waiting for the return of His Majesty the Emperor.
Seeing the appearance of Yang Gao's chariot, all the civil and military officials bowed and shouted: "We sincerely welcome your Majesty back to the capital. May your Majesty be in good health and your country forever!"
Yang Gao got off his carriage, smiled and waved his hands to the civil and military officials and said: "My dear friends, please excuse me. I am on an expedition, so I rely on all my dear friends to stay in Jiangdu to ensure that my rear is safe."
"Your Majesty has led well, and the ministers have only done their meager efforts!" All the civil and military officials, led by the two old foxes Pei Ju and Su Wei, complimented Yang Gao.
Yang Gao nodded with satisfaction, exchanged a few words with the ministers, and then got on the Luan Jia again and gathered all the civil and military officials to enter Jiangdu City and went straight to the palace.
After entering the palace, I saw a young eunuch hurriedly walked over, bowed to Yang Gao and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go to Kunning Palace, saying that we have important matters to discuss."
"I know!"
Yang Gao nodded, took Dou Xianniang with one hand and said, "Let's go, I will take you to meet my queen mother!"
Dou Xianniang's face suddenly turned red, and she said coyly: "Your Majesty, I will go see the Queen Mother as soon as I come back. I... I'm a little embarrassed!"
Yang Gao chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? An ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law!"
"You are the ugly wife!"
When Dou Xianniang heard Yang Gao say that she was an ugly wife, she became angry again and said carelessly: "My aunt has never been afraid of anything in all these years. Isn't it just meeting the Queen Mother? Let's go!"
Seeing Dou Xian Niang showing off her power again, Yang Gao couldn't help but drag her straight to Kunning Palace with black streaks all over his head.
Kunning Palace is the residence of Empress Dowager Xiao, but the name was given by Yang Gao. Many of the names of the dormitories in Jiangdu Palace, such as Jingren Palace, Chengqian Palace, Daqing Palace, Renming Palace and Lizheng Palace, were named by Yang Gao himself. It was a way for him to commemorate his identity as a time traveler.
Yang Gao entered Kunning Palace and saw a tall and beautiful woman standing next to Queen Mother Xiao, looking at him with a smile on her face.
Seeing this woman, Yang Gao's heart suddenly "thumped". This woman was none other than Xiao Yuexian, who was also closely related to him.
When Queen Mother Xiao saw Yang Gao coming in, she immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are finally back!"
Yang Gao gritted his teeth and raised his hands and said, "I wonder what the queen mother is calling her sons to come here for?"
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled kindly and said: "Of course it's for your lifelong event. After the new year, you will be fourteen years old, and it's time to start a family. Yuexian and you have been married for a long time, and you also It’s time to give her a title.”
Before Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, Yang Gao felt a heartbreaking pain in the palm of his hand. He turned around and looked, and sure enough, Dou Xianniang was looking at him with wide-open almond eyes and brows, an angry look on her face.
Yang Gao gave a helpless smile, pulled Dou Xianniang in front of him, and introduced to Empress Xiao: "Empress, this is Miss Dou Xianniang. She is responsible for taking care of my son along the way... of."
After Yang Gao came in, Empress Dowager Xiao focused her attention on him and completely ignored Dou Xianniang beside him.
Now Yang Gao suddenly pushed Dou Xianniang in front of him. Empress Dowager Xiao noticed her walking forward again and suddenly understood everything. He secretly sighed that this prince was nothing like his father. He had already provoked two women at a young age.
However, Empress Dowager Xiao did not mean to blame Yang Gao at all. People should not spend their youth in romance. The emperor should have three palaces and six courtyards. As long as he does not indulge in women and miss the state affairs.
But when Empress Dowager Xiao heard about Dou Xianniang's origin, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She turned to Xiao Yuexian and said: "Yuexian, please take Miss Xianniang down to rest first. The Ai family has something to say to His Majesty alone. .”
"According to the order!"
Xiao Yuexian bowed and walked down the steps slowly, wanting to drag Dou Xianniang along with her. Unexpectedly, Dou Xianniang didn't appreciate it and walked out of Kunning Palace on her own.
Seeing the two girls walking out of Kunning Palace one after another, Empress Xiao's face suddenly darkened, and she said to Yang Gao with an unhappy face: "Your Majesty, my mother didn't tell you that you are not even fourteen years old, and you are already with Yang Gao." If two women are entangled, please don’t indulge in female lust in the future!”
Yang Gao chuckled and said: "I am a measured person, don't worry, mother. Besides, I am doing this so that my mother can have her grandchild as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Xiao suddenly became serious and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Ai family asked you to stay alone because of this matter. The Ai family does not want the mother of Ai's eldest grandson to be one of them."
Yang Gao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Queen Mother, why is this?"
Empress Dowager Xiao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yuexian's father Xiao Mian once rebelled. Based on this alone, Yuexian has no chance of becoming the queen. Not to mention Dou Xianniang, a girl who dances with swords Sword, I don’t know etiquette, and her father Dou Jiande is even more against you now. If one of these two people gives birth to your eldest son, how should you deal with it? The Ai family is afraid that the situation between your father and your uncle Fanling King will happen again in the future. tragedy.”
Yang Gao frowned when he heard this, then he laughed and said: "Mother, you must be worrying too much! Xian Niang and Yuexian are not that kind of people. They can take good care of their sons."
"If you're not afraid of thieves, you're afraid of being remembered!" Empress Dowager Xiao still said earnestly: "Even if they are not this kind of people, there are many people in the world who hate you. If any minister with ulterior motives stirs up trouble, the consequences will be It’s unimaginable!”
"this..."
"Don't tell the Ai family that it's impossible. You know people but don't know their hearts. At that time, the Ai family thought Li Yuan was loyal and kind. Who knew he was actually the most insidious careerist in the Sui Dynasty. Can you guarantee that every minister you appoint will be absolutely loyal to you?" You?"
Yang Gao smiled bitterly when he heard this. He could really guarantee this, but he couldn't tell Empress Dowager Xiao about the existence of the system. In desperation, he could only nod his head in agreement, raised his hands and said, "Does the Empress Dowager have any good suggestions?"
Empress Dowager Xiao raised an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth and said calmly: "Isn't the Emperor going to marry Yuexian and Dou Xianniang this year? The Ai family thought that the Emperor might as well take this opportunity to marry more ladies and establish a queen as soon as possible! "
