The day after Emperor Zhou's burial, the new emperor ascended the throne.

It snowed heavily as usual that day, and the new emperor stepped on the steps to the high platform, and the civil and military officials vied with each other to bow down.

The new emperor was calm, granted amnesty to the world, and exempted the people from taxes for three years.

All the comrades involved in the prince's rebellion were exempted from the death penalty, and all their families and relatives were exiled to Saibei, with men doing hard labor and women serving as military women, in order to show the generosity and mercy of the new emperor.

Although the people did not know the detailed process of seizing the heir, they respected the new emperor very much, and an emperor who was exempt from taxes naturally had to be supported.

The Marquis of Dingyuan was also implicated, but he was not exiled, with the light of his three daughters, Yin Mingzhe was removed from his title and demoted to a commoner, as for the Zhang family and the Song family, the courtiers who directly participated in the prince's rebellion, were exiled to Saibei.

On the day Song Ci and Song Xiang were escorted away, Wen Cha saw them on the street.

The eldest prince no longer has the high-spirited he once was, his clothes are ragged, and his appearance is grizzled, and the people who look at it are sad.

He was once a close minister of the crown prince, and whoever the new emperor could spare would not spare him.

Song Ci also saw her in the crowd, he was covered with vegetable leaves thrown by passers-by, but she was still the well-behaved and innocent little girl in his impression.

She's clean, she's clear, and she's so beautiful.

He and her glanced at each other, and they both saw each other, but there was no expression on their faces.

She was indifferent, as if they had never known each other.

And he was glad, fortunately she didn't marry him, otherwise his fate would have fallen on her today, how could he be willing to let her suffer such a crime.

If that were the case, he would have chosen to die with her.

Song Ci thought to himself, that would be death, and it would be neat and tidy.

But the reality is that he can't die, and he has to spend the rest of his life to atone for his sins.

This is retribution.

The scene of the first time he saw her in his mind, she was timid, frightened, like a flimpy rabbit, they sat by the river and put the river lanterns, at that time, she was not as silent as she is now, she was chattering, like a sparrow, she had many wishes, he laughed at her and said, if she said that her wishes would not work, but she said, even if it didn't work, it didn't matter, she just had to achieve the one she wanted to achieve the most.

She was so naïve and sensible.

The biggest wish is probably to marry him.

At the Lantern Festival that year, she wrote her wish on the river lantern, and he looked at it and responded to her with a peacock lantern, but he couldn't go to the end with her after all.

It's not that he can't go, it's just that he dislikes her identity a little.

said a thousand things and ten thousand, or he was too superficial.

Now, finally, it was her turn to dislike him.

Her heart must be full of joy.

Song Ci thought about it and laughed, he missed her chattering around him.

It's a pity that later, she neither likes to laugh nor talk much.

The only time I broke with him.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward, but said in his heart that there would be no time in the future.

They won't see each other again, and she probably won't want to see him.

Wen Cha turned her head from the crowd and saw Chu Xiao who came to greet her from a distance, she walked over with her feet raised and threw herself into the arms of her future husband.

"Happy?" Chu Xiao touched her head and asked in an ominous voice.

Wen Cha smiled, "I'm happy." "What can a scumbag be unhappy about when he falls into this fate?

"Let's go back." Chu Xiao took her hand and walked back, "Your third sister is still waiting for you." ”

After Yin Mingzhe was dethroned, Wen Cha and Yin Lan were no longer Miss Houfu.

Wen Cha originally thought that the new emperor would regret his marriage and would not marry Yin Lan again, but he didn't expect that Chang Yuan's general Chang Sheng recognized Yin Lan as his sister and was designated as the queen's candidate by the new emperor.

Although the hundred officials were suspicious of this general's sister who appeared out of nowhere, they did not protest because of the face of General Zhenbei.

Wen Cha walked into the courtyard quickly, and heard the voices of Yin Ning and Yin Lan laughing from a distance, and the two seemed to be discussing the child's affairs.

Yin Ning has been pregnant for almost five months, her belly has swelled early, her face has become rounder, and she looks more gentle and kind.

Wen Cha pushed open the door, both of them looked over, and after seeing Wen Cha, they hurriedly beckoned her to come over.

"The little guy kicked me," Yin Ning took Wen Cha's hand and said with a smile: "He's lively in his stomach, you can listen to it too."

Wen Cha listened attentively, heard some movements, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid my nephew will be a martial arts wizard in the future."

"I don't want him to know how much martial arts," Yin Ning shook his head, touched his stomach, and said gently: "I just want him to be safe, happy, and happy."

"What the second sister said is," Wen Cha agreed very much, "being happy is more important than anything else."

"Then I want the second brother-in-law to earn more money," Yin Lan said with a smile: "This is the only way to lose."

"Isn't there still you?" Wen Cha teased, "As long as the future queen mother has a few more kind words in the emperor's ear, these are all trivial things!" ”

Yin Lan's face turned red, and she said angrily: "You are also pointing at this to trick me."

Wen Cha smiled, "Sister, but it's wrong?" ”

Although Yin Lan smiled on her face, there was not much smile in her eyes, "In the past, I only thought that marrying a prince was a great gift, but now I want to be a queen, but it is like a dream, I can't touch the edge everywhere, fourth sister, do you say that Your Majesty really wants to marry me as a queen?" ”

"This is nature," Wen Cha blinked, "he is now the king of a country, and the entire Great Zhou is sent by him, if he doesn't want to marry, can anyone force him?" He has given you a promise, and he will keep it. ”

Yin Lan was a little relieved, but she had other worries, "Even if you enter the palace, you don't know how to survive?" ”

"It's up to the third sister herself." Wen Cha said lightly: "Whether you marry the emperor or marry into an ordinary people's family, you have to rely on yourself to run these days, the third sister is very smart, and she will understand it slowly."

Yin Lan liked to hear her say this the most, and she couldn't help but settle down, "Since there is no other choice, I have to face the difficulties." ”

Wen Cha smiled lightly, didn't say anything more, lowered his head and listened to his little nephew's movements again.

At the beginning of March, Yin Lan Fang entered the palace as soon as he was in time, and the emperor and queen held a ceremony in front of the palace gate, and Yin Lan officially became the lord of the harem.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the government was harmonious, and all kinds of waste were prosperous, and the first thing was to recover the scattered military power.

All emperors, whether they are Zhou emperors or new emperors, need to have their own henchmen.

Today, General Zhenbei is a close minister of the former emperor, so he will not be reused by the new emperor.

The emperor was suspicious, so he naturally wanted to retrain a handy official.

Chu Xiao was the first person the new emperor wanted to subdue, and the new emperor promised that he would still be the general of Zhenbei, but the tiger talisman would be in the hands of the royal family.

Chu Xiao was not a person who coveted glory, and it didn't take long for him to hand over the tiger talisman to the king and become a general with no real power.

In June, it is the ceremony of warm tea.

Chu Xiao came to marry her with eight sedan chairs as promised.

In the year of Xuan, the red makeup was ten miles, and how many girls in Beijing were envious.

The onlookers all recognized the general on the tall horse and sent their sincere blessings.

At this time, the sunset in the general's mansion is slender, and the yard is full of camellias, occasionally a few golden sunflowers, a few bushes of peony peonies, and the yard is decorated like a dream.

After worshipping the church, the beautiful bride lifted her hijab, took scissors to cut off the flowers in the courtyard one by one, tied them into a bunch and put them in a white jade vase, and returned to the house, waiting for the bridegroom who was about to come.

Chu Xiao pushed open the door of the house, looked at the little bride leaning on the head of the bed, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, strode over, and lifted the little girl's hijab.

The girl under the hijab is so beautiful that people can't open their eyes.

"Listen to Chunrong, you went to the yard to pick flowers?"

"Whew-" Wen Cha pointed to the vase on the table, and asked as if offering treasures, "I look good, right?"

"Beautiful." Chu Xiao looked at her delicate and beautiful eyebrows, his throat moved, and he took off the wine on the table and drank it with her.

After drinking, the atmosphere became a little sticky, Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and began to take off the red clothes on his body.

Wen Cha blinked, a little inexplicably nervous.

After Chu Xiao took off his robe, he glanced at her, "What are you thinking?" ”

Wen Cha tilted his head and didn't speak.

Chu Xiao paused, took another robe from the wardrobe and put it on his body, and changed her clothes by the way, looking at her confused appearance.

He smiled and said, "Let's go."

Through the dim light, he stretched out his hand to pull her, his face calm and indifferent, "What I promised you, it will come true tonight." ”

Wen Cha didn't react, and was hugged into Chu Xiao's arms in the next second, "Don't you want to see Yangzhou in March, the desert in the north of the country, and the bright moon rising in the sea?" I'll take you there now. ”

Wen Cha then realized what he was going to do.

The said good disarmament and return to the field has never been bluffing.

She struggled, picked up the white jade vase on the table, and wanted to take the flowers with her.

Chu Xiao glanced sideways and kissed her eyes, and led her to the door, where the carriage had already been prepared, and there was everything in it, as long as she sat in, she could travel in all directions.

Wen Chawo got into the carriage, Chu Xiao stood in front of the mansion, threw the fire fold in, and the sparks rose with it, flooding the entire mansion, he turned around and left the royal city full of glitz and power with her.

When the forbidden army arrived at the general's mansion in Zhenbei, the mansion had been burned to ashes, and only a few skeletons were found inside, which looked like the bones of the general and his wife.

It is rumored that the little servant of the General's Mansion dozed off at night and accidentally knocked over the candlelight, turning the entire General's Mansion into a sea of fire.

General Zhenbei was burned to death on the night of his wedding, which caused countless sighs, who would have thought that once the god of war did not die on the battlefield, but was buried in the fire, such an amazing and brilliant person, it is a pity that he died so badly.

However, no matter how these people think, it is not as complicated as the mind of a man standing at the pinnacle of power, so he made up his mind to get rid of Chu Xiao, and a fire broke out in the General's Mansion, how could there be such a coincidence?

It's no coincidence, it's a perfect golden cicada out of its shell.

The new emperor sneered and pushed down the folds on the table, feeling both angry and quietly relieved.

Chu Xiao is kind to him, it stands to reason that he shouldn't touch Chu Xiao, but the new deal doesn't need such a disobedient general, he can't tolerate him, so he naturally wants to pull out this thorn in his side.

Now that Chu Xiao is gone, it doesn't count him as ungrateful.

The new emperor sighed softly, and his heart was indescribably stunned.

That's fine, that's fine.

He leaned back in the dragon chair and closed his eyes quietly.

The queen outside the hall hesitated for a moment, pushed open the door, and brought the soothing soup she had made herself.

The new emperor's life is so complicated, why not in her life?

They will not fall in love in this life, they are just two suitable people, and they are used to each other.

But in this palace, habits also need to be thoughtful.

In July, when Yin Ning gave birth to a son, Wen Cha and Chu Xiao arrived at a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

"When the time comes, we will build a small building here," Wen Cha, who combed his wife's bun, said with a smile: "We should plant some flowers downstairs, not too many varieties, just look good, and when we have had enough, we will come back here to support the elderly, if we can, we can also open a wine shop and sell some wine to earn living expenses."

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "I can't afford to support you?" ”

"That's not what I mean," Wen Cha glared at him, "I think it's funny." ”

"Then it's up to you." Chu Xiao put down the bamboo pole and reached out to touch her face, "Do whatever you want." ”

Wen Cha chuckled: "When the time comes, I will have to raise a soil dog with a curly tail, and I will follow him every day, and I will definitely live quickly."

Chu Xiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The children are not raised, and they are not allowed to raise these."

"Why?" Wen Cha said, "It's just a little guy." ”

"Let's talk about giving birth to the baby." Chu Xiao rubbed her head, "In the future, if you raise children, you will have the opportunity to raise a local dog." ”

Wen Cha tilted his head and ignored him, and in a blink of an eye, he was raised and kissed by someone, accompanied by the man's low and delicate voice, "Obedient." ”

Wen Cha blushed and muttered for a few seconds, without refuting him.

Be obedient, and there will be no shortage of meat.

Later, the two went to many places, saw the smoke and rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River, the lonely smoke in the desert in the north of the country, the sunrise and sunset on the sea, and met all kinds of people and experienced many things.

In the end, they stopped at the original water town, repaired bamboo buildings, sold water and wine, raised a curly-tailed dog, and snuggled up to each other, so for a lifetime.

Life is actually very simple, as long as you are with the people you like, you can return anywhere and stop anywhere.
