When he returned to Dingzhou, it was snowing heavily in the sky, splashing and white, and Zhang Changzong, who was wearing a linen mourning uniform, walked in this snow-white world. If he hadn't led a red horse, he wouldn't have seen it.

Zhang Changzong was not good at alarming others, so he went back to Qinglu and jumped into his room. The charcoal stove in the house was burning warmly. Mrs. Zheng sat on her head and looked at Baoning playing on the mat with a smile. Xue Chongxiu was guarding her. Both of them were smiling. Seeing Zhang Changzong coming in, she paused. The three of them smiled at the same time. Mrs. Zheng smiled but said nothing. Xue Chongxiu asked softly: "Come back? Come in and warm warm. I guess you will be back in the next two days. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare ginger soup, come and have a bowl of it."

"Why!"

Zhang Changzong agreed, but the person did not move. His sad and desolate mood along the way was warmed by the vibrant scene at home. He couldn't help but, regardless of whether Mrs. Zheng was present or not, took two steps quickly and hugged Xue Chongxiu-

"oops!"

However, Xue Chongxiu and Mrs. Zheng exclaimed at the same time. Xue Chongxiu blushed, and Mrs. Zheng quickly raised her wide sleeves to cover her face.

Zhang Changzong smiled and hugged Xue Chongxiu heavily. Then he turned around and hugged Mrs. Zheng with a smile on his face. The old man was so scared that he quickly let go, and rubbed his hands with a silly smile. When his hands and body were warm, he raised his daughter, which made her cry. She was cleaned up by Xue Chongxiu and Mrs. Zheng.

Xue Chongxiu was reluctant to take heavy measures, but just pinched his waist with temptation. Mrs. Zheng must have punished him for being rude just now. She was very heavy, but the place where she started was still her arms, which hurt so much!

Xue Chongxiu glanced at him and carried Baoning over to coax him. Zhang Changzong laughed and sat down next to Mrs. Zheng without any manners. The old lady was too lazy to talk about him. She just looked at him with disgust and handed the ginger soup from the servant. The temperature was just right, and the pungent smell made Zhang Changzong frown, and then raised his head and poured it down.

Seeing him drinking ginger soup, Mrs. Zheng asked, "See?"

"Um!"

"Then you feel at ease now?"

In response to Zheng's disgusting face, Zhang Changzong laughed brilliantly and focused on it: "It's safe! I won't run around anymore, just stay in Dingzhou with peace of mind, guarding his wife, Xiu'er, and Baoning, okay?"

Zheng glanced at him, but said nothing disgusting. He just said, "It's time to take a break. It's a cold day to go on your way. You are young now. When you get old in the future, you will suffer some sins."

Zhang Changzong laughed: "I knew my wife loved me!"

Zheng snorted and sneered: "Wrong, it's Baoning who is in pain, it's not you, you've fallen out of favor!"

Zhang Changzong felt that it was a bolt from the blue and was hit hard: "No! Madam, is Liulang no longer your little baby?"

Zheng spitted on him, not even interested in talking back. He looked like a cold old lady. Zhang Changzong felt that his heart was getting cold and was hit hard.

Zheng smiled happily and raised his hand to pat his head: "Silly boy! In the future, you are not allowed to go out in such a cold weather anymore. Xiu'er has a good temper and lets you do everything. If I knew it before, I would see you dare to go out... Humph, your leg is broken, throw it into the house to reflect on March before talking about it."

Zhang Changzong lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, then tilted his head and looked at Xue Chongxiu with an honorable expression, showing off: "What the wife said is that Xiu'er is really good to me. You can't do this so random again. I, just be honest at home. If you run around again, you will be scolded and fooled by my mother from below."

"nonsense!"

Zheng patted him again, but his eyes looked at him were very soft. Since then, Zhang Changzong has never gone out again, and has been honest in Qinglu, studying and practicing martial arts, and occasionally teaching his nephews.

In the capital, the empress died because the empress was buried as the queen. According to the system, the country was filial to the state for three months, and the whole country was mourning. Although she was wearing filial piety clothes, none of the civil and military officials in the court had a look of sorrow. If you observe carefully, you would feel relaxed. It was also that the mountain pressing on her head was gone, indicating that she could not be happy. Isn’t you allowed someone to secretly rejoice in private?

Princess Taiping dispersed her hair and wore a mourning uniform to avoid filial piety in the mansion. When she heard her subordinates’ reward, she was angry and said to her eldest son Xue Chongyin angrily: "When the Queen Mother was there, none of these people jumped out to resist. Everyone only rushed to show their loyalty in front of the Queen Mother. Now everyone has gone... Huanxi did not dare to come openly, but only dared to be happy in secret. It should be noted that the dead are the greatest. No matter how bad the Queen Mother was, she was once the king of a country and a subordinate. These people not only did not respect, but even Huanxi dared to come secretly... How could such an unfaithful and unkind and irresponsible act be accomplished? Who are the people who are loyal to Qilang!"

He looked down upon him in words.

Xue Chongyin smiled bitterly. If he asked him to say that his grandmother... regardless of the place, just for the king's demeanor and the wisdom of using people, he would be incomparable to the emperor's uncle today. Once this matter came out, he would understand why Liulang wrote a letter to him to keep a low profile.

Princess Taiping sneered and said, "After the national mourning period, Wei Niang will send someone to discuss the wedding date with the Xue family and let Ah Xue pass the house as soon as possible. Dalang, you can stay at home with peace of mind and give Wei Niang a grandson a grandson."

Xue Chongyin couldn't help but blush: "Mother, what are you talking about!"

Princess Taiping's originally grief and angry mood was amused by the shyness of her eldest son, and said, "Become a child, pass on the family line, and have great human relations, what's the point of being shy? I'm just watching your seventh uncle not look like a reliable one. Now there are the so-called five kings jumping up and down in the court. You are my mother's treasure, and it's not the time to go to court to ask about politics."

Xue Chongyin's vision is no longer the past, so he naturally understands what his mother planned for him. He heard this and nodded and said thoughtfully: "Since Li Tang established a country, he has never made a king with merits and a king. The seventh uncle's title was too much, and his honor and favor were too much. Moreover, the seventh uncle has no foundation in the court over the years. The king is weak and the ministers are strong, and it is not good for the country and the ministers."

Princess Taiping sneered and mocked: "So, your good seventh uncle did not denounce the Wu clan's sons, but only demoted the prince to the duke."

"That mother?"

"No hurry, your seventh uncle is weak in the court. Is it because of my mother's strength? No! You have to wait until Liulang becomes filial before talking. Liulang once said that the power without soldiers is like a tower in the air. It looks tall and powerful, but in fact it has no foundation. Didn't you see that your eighth uncle is just because he has soldiers in his hands that he can make merits in the new dynasty? Is it that if you want to reward me?"

Princess Taiping said confidently: "At present, be low-key. You get married first and give birth to a fat grandson for your mother. If you have a disciple who comes to join us, you should also identify it. This is not something you want under the palace."

"Here, my son understands."

Xue Chongyin blushed and responded seriously.

However, just after the national mourning period, the palace issued an imperial edict to be appointed as the princess Taiping princess Wu Youji as Situ, re-appointed King Ding, and actually granted a thousand households. For a time, the honor and favor were the top of the Wu family.
