Several days have passed, and the vassal kings have arrived in the capital one after another.

Among them, although the carriage of the king and wife of Dingbei is the most low-key, the people's voice for them is the highest.

After all, since the king of Dingbei was stationed in the north, there has never been a war in the north, which is what the people see in their eyes and remember.

The king of Dingbei is their hero.

Su Yunting and Lixiao crowded into the crowd, and saw the King of Dingbei passing in front of them on a tall horse from a distance.

King Dingbei really has a sense of majesty that naturally emanates from the inside out.

But when he thought of him grinning and showing a big gold tooth smirk, Su Yunting couldn't look directly at her now.

She secretly glanced at Lixiao beside her, and silently thought in her heart, this family is all good at acting.

Although it is still in the period of national mourning, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the succession of the crown prince is inevitable, and the corresponding ceremonies are indispensable, but the ceremony process may be more serious.

Su Yunting guessed that Qin Yue's estimation was very uncomfortable.

However, what the civil and military officials did not expect was that the most eye-catching person at this enthronement ceremony was not the new emperor Qin Yue, but the queen mother.

It stands to reason that the Queen Mother is also in her forties, but after only a few days of not seeing her, people found that the Queen Mother looked a little unpleasant.

Now, even if she is only thirty years old, it is estimated that some people believe it.

And although she is wearing a dark court dress, her red lips are delicate, and she is by no means unpowdered according to the rules.

In addition, there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and she couldn't help it even more than Qin Yue.

Zhang Baixiang listened to the whispers of the officials around him, and sighed again and again in his heart.

Don't the Queen Mother and the new emperor even want to be pretty?

There is joy written on his face, and those who don't know think that the emperor was killed by them!

And what surprised everyone even more was that there was still a person by the side of the Queen Mother.

This is also Andy's first appearance in front of civil and military officials.

Although the Queen Mother didn't say who he was, there was such a man standing among the palace maids, and he was so close to the Queen Mother, and the two of them flirted from time to time, and everyone could guess that there must be something between the two of them.

The most important thing is that when the crown prince ascended the throne, he originally needed to hold his father and mother with his left and right hands to worship his ancestors.

Now that the emperor has died, it stands to reason that the queen is the only one who can stand by the prince's side.

But the queen took Andy to the altar together.

Although Andy was still standing on the queen's side, the composition of the people on the altar at that moment was very intriguing.

Several officials have even gotten together and are ready to go to the harem of the Empress Dowager's defilement.

"General Zhang, what do you think of today's events?" After the ceremony, the officials walked together in twos and threes, and several officials caught up and asked Zhang Baixiang.

Zhang Baixiang said: "The new emperor succeeds to the throne, and many places still need us old things to help watch, we can't slack off." ”

The man snorted, pushed Zhang Baixiang and said, "Don't pretend to be confused, I'm talking about that!" ”

Zhang Baixiang didn't like to talk about these gossips, so he had to smile and say: "It's not early, my daughter-in-law has made a table of good dishes and is waiting for me at home, I'll go first and accompany less!" ”

Who knew that those people were like they couldn't hear what Zhang Baixiang meant, so they quickly chased after him and said: "At the beginning, the whole capital laughed at the general, saying that the woman who didn't want the eighth master would accept all the sons of the general, but now it seems that the general is still far-sighted, who would have thought that the county lord would be so virtuous." ”

Zhang Baixiang's face sank, and he quietly took the man's hand away and said, "My lord, you should still care more about the political affairs of the new emperor after he takes office." He smiled politely and walked away.

The man spat and said: "What a cow, what a cow, when the son marries the county lord, he doesn't take us old friends in his eyes, and it's not that he himself is crowned king!" ”

"Be quiet, they have very good ears."

"What are you afraid of! No matter how angry he is, he is a four-grade petty official, and if he is called a general, he can afford him! ”

Zhang Baixiang shook his head, decided not to listen to those foul words, and walked straight forward.

He was not from a high background, and his father was just a centurion, but he sat in today's position with his own efforts, and he did not feel ashamed at all.

He didn't know that those so-called colleagues were polite to him and laughed at him behind his back, but he didn't care.

He just wants to do his job well and live an ordinary life with his wife and children.

Thinking that he had returned to the door of the house, he saw that under the light, his wife had prepared a good meal, and his son and daughter-in-law were smiling, and he knew that this was the life he wanted.

"Dad, what do you want? Come and eat! Li Muxue affectionately beckoned Zhang Baixiang to come to dinner, Zhang Baixiang smiled and walked in.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a pungent aroma.

"Eat so much today?"

Li Muxue said with a smile: "It's not that I thought that the food during the national funeral was too vegetarian, but finally the new emperor ascended the throne today, and we will also celebrate the new emperor and eat a little better." ”

Zhang Qingyang couldn't wait to say: "It's okay Dad, just close the doors and windows and don't let others find out." ”

"Okay, you eat alone!" As he was talking, Su Yunting appeared outside the door.

Li Muxue was happy when she saw her, and hurriedly greeted: "It's just right, hurry, let's eat together!" ”

"It's so rich, then I'm disrespectful!" Su Yunting pulled Lixiao to sit down and eat unceremoniously.

But Zhang Baixiang doesn't seem to have much appetite, and he always sighs.

"Uncle Zhang has something on his mind?"

Zhang Baixiang came back to his senses and said: "It's not a big deal, I'm just thinking, they all say that heroes don't ask where they come from, but why do so many people still care about the difference between the elder and the younger?" ”

"Could it be that if you come from a low background, even if you work hard in the future, even if you become famous, you can't really get rid of the name of lowliness?"

Su Yunting laughed: "Uncle Zhang, there is someone who can answer you very well." ”

"Who?"

"Qin Chuan." Su Yunting said, "As we all know, his biological mother is just a palace maid, because the emperor was drunk and was fortunate to give birth to him. He's a contradiction. ”

"Obviously he is a prince, but because of his lowly mother, he has suffered a lot of cold eyes, and even the emperor has not looked at him squarely."

"He's working just as hard, but what about the result?"

Zhang Baixiang's face showed a look of loss: "So you mean, all efforts are in vain?" ”

"Nope." Su Yunting said, "I mean, we can't choose our origins, but we can choose to work hard for a better future for ourselves, and it's not our fault that we're being excluded." ”

"But Uncle Zhang, fighting by unscrupulous means is not a struggle, this is the difference between Qin Chuan being sentenced to exile now, and you can sit firmly in the commander-in-chief of the garrison in Beijing."

Zhang Baixiang was moved to tears by her words, and was about to say something, when he heard Lixiao on the side suddenly say: "Wait, you said that Qin Chuan's biological mother is a palace maid?" Is there a Ping character in the name of that palace maid? ”
