Chapter 1 Supper

If someone was going to deal with the detention of the Prince of Concubine Wang and the civil and military officials involved in the offence, Empress Gao would definitely not let Concubine Wang go in the palace, and she had to force her to confess the details of the following crimes and murder the emperor.

The loser should be disgraced and no one can blame him.

The ministers were in charge of all matters of national funerals. As soon as the death knell rang on the palace gate, the entire Chang'an was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, mainly manifesting it through various funeral ceremonies. Even if someone cried, there were probably not many people who really felt the pain.

For example, for Xue Chongxun, the real sadness brought to him by Li Shouli's death is not even as true as the death of a girl in her family, which makes people sigh.

According to the normal situation of the throne change, once the ancestor died, the prince should succeed to the throne in time in front of the coffin.

But the current crown prince naturally cannot succeed to the throne, so he has to support the new emperor.

Without a legitimate crown prince, it is a troublesome to support who will take office. I guess it will not be possible to do it in a day or two.

Xue Chongxun felt a little tired, so he ignored the matter and asked the court officials to deal with the situation in front of him.

He went to Chengxiang Palace to see his mother Princess Taiping, then talked to Princess Jincheng, Taoist Yuqing and others for a while, and then went out of Danfeng Gate.

When I walked to the palace gate, I suddenly felt a few cold raindrops dripping on my face, and then I noticed that the sky had turned gray at some point.

I saw the sun in the morning, and the weather changed so quickly. There might be a rainy weather when spring comes.

As soon as he left Danfeng Gate, he saw 10 or 20 rows of cavalry units in armor and holding sharp horses on the street in front of the palace gate. The man riding a tall horse was Zhang Wulang, and there were many familiar faces behind him. It turned out that it was the Flying Tiger Regiment here.

Zhang Wulang is currently serving in the Jinwu Guard. The Flying Tiger Regiment Captain has changed several times and is now Li Kuiyong. However, Zhang Wulang, as the earliest commander when the Flying Tiger Regiment was formed, still has prestige in front of the soldiers.

When the soldiers saw Xue Chongxun walking out in disorganized clothes, they all looked at him sideways, which made Xue Chongxun stunned.

Xue Chongxun immediately understood the situation. Most of the news of the palace coup was spread and the slaves were sent back to the royal palace.

Then the generals of the Flying Tiger Regiment led their troops to support him, but their current system was assigned to the Prince's Kingdom, so they naturally had no authority to enter the imperial city and could only wait here.

Xue Lang... Zhang Wulang held his fists in his chest and held a tribute on his horse. When he saw Xue Chongxun's unscathed, he showed joy in his eyes, but he didn't know where to start.

Although Zhang Wulang looks good, he is a little muscular and is not as good as Bao Cheng (Bao Cheng is still in Dongdu and is now a general of the River Guarding Army).

Xue Chongxun then spoke: The situation is really unexpected, but fortunately there is no danger.

Zhang Wulang looked up at the sky and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but find it funny. He probably used to fool him, but he had to talk about the weather on the battlefield. Zhang Wulang probably also thought he wanted to fool him this time.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: The prince is planning a rebellion, and now he has nothing to do, so he will go home.

After saying that, he walked towards his pine wood carriage. When he was about to get on the car, he turned around and asked, "By the way, your wife should have given birth, right? Is it a man or a woman?"

Zhang Wulang breathed a sigh of relief: I received a letter some time ago, saying that I had a girl who gave birth to a lowly person and went back to Chang'an.

Xue Chongxun nodded, lowered his head and got on the carriage, knocking on the wooden board of the carriage, and Pang Er, who was rushing the carriage, drove the horse.At this time, a general shouted loudly: Set off, guard front and back!

Then there was a wave of orders and responses, and the horse's hooves suddenly rang, and the cavalry line was mobilized in an orderly manner.

On the streets of the capital Chang'an, a car was actually escorted by two hundred fully armed cavalrymen. The formation was already very powerful. The officials and pedestrians who were hiding from the rain under the eaves were attracted by the attention. Most of them watched silently, and some whispered to each other.

The crowd was heading south. When Xue Chongxun picked up the curtain and looked at it, he saw that it was getting heavier. The rain fell on the iron helmets and the shoulder armors splashed, and the guards' pace was still in a messy and orderly manner.

When he returned to the Jin Palace of Anyifang, a slave ran over with an umbrella as soon as he stopped. As soon as Xue Chongxun poked out, he saw that the foyer was full of standing outside, and in addition to the officials of the Prince, there were also families in the mansion.

It was obvious that they were all waiting for them. Xue Chongxun felt relieved when he saw this and said to himself: So many people have cared about their lives and death, and in this regard, they are even better than the emperor.

The officials and staff bowed one after another, and the family members looked happy. Xue Chongxun looked around and saw that Yuwen Ji from Yuwen Xiao's family had arrived.

Something happened in the palace, and Xue Chongxun himself didn't think it was too dangerous, and he felt it was more like a farce; but the people outside were nervous, and as soon as they came out, they could imagine it.

Whether everyone cares so much because of the connection between security and interests, Xue Chongxun was still a little moved. At least there are so many people in this world who remember that they are not.

At this moment, a woman suddenly saw her running into the rain, and the heavier the rain immediately wet her hair.Xue Chongxun looked carefully and then he saw clearly that the person who ran over was Cheng Ting's concubine.

After running over, she ignored the public's eyes and threw herself into Xue Chongxun's arms and burst into tears.

Xue Chongxun was hugged by the waist. When he looked up, everyone's eyes were strange, but there was nothing strange about the woman who hugged him as a concubine. Everyone quickly returned to normal after being surprised.

Only Sun was moved. Seeing her feet moving two steps, although she did not move or say anything, Xue Chongxun could see the rapid fluctuations in her emotions.

The human heart is subtle, and he couldn't help but think of the same thing as Queen Gao. Even if they are very calm on the surface, they are actually sometimes in a state of turmoil, right?

Some people have exaggerated words and deeds, but they may not have any thoughts in their hearts.

Cheng Ting hugged Xue Chongxun tightly and started to cry. Xue Chongxun patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, just like don't worry, it's all.

She cried for a while before calming down. At about this time, she realized that there were many people present, so she lowered her head awkwardly.

Xue Chongxun didn't care, so he took her hand and took the slave's umbrella and walked towards the hall, saying: Everyone should leave, it's getting late, they all return home.

The officials then came up to sigh and sighed for a while, and they all bowed their fists to say goodbye.

Xue Chongxun responded to the situation and talked to everyone for a while, and said that he would take a break and go to the prince's kingdom tomorrow.

At this time, he felt a little tired. He stopped when he walked to Sun's family, and Sun said: Just come back safely.

The new clothes that the adult just made were torn and not found back. I'm really sorry.Xue Chongxun said.

Sun said in surprise: It’s just one thing to do clothes, and it’s new to do it... It’s rare that Xue Lang was thinking of such a small thing.

Xue Chongxun responded casually and walked in. Is the supper ready?

Oh... the kitchen should be made. Xue Lang said in the morning that he could catch up with dinner.

I didn't break my promise.Xue Chongxun smiled.

……

Several people entered the mansion while talking insignificant gossip. Sun was very worried about Xue Chongxun, but when he saw that he came back safely, he seemed to have a lot of things, but unexpectedly it was like this again...

I can only say some irrelevant trivial matters.

At first she saw Cheng Ting rushing over, and she seemed to have an illusion, as if it was not Cheng Ting, but herself.

In fact, after hearing the news about the Gong Bing, the one who felt the deepest was Sun, because she had experienced a series of changes in life before and after the coup, and she had a deep understanding.

It was Li Chengqi's death that caused their orphanage and widow to rely on mermaid meat. After finally being unlucky, Li Yan'er could rely on her. If she encountered such a thing again, the mother and daughter would go as a widow, and Sun really didn't know how to persevere.

So she felt very happy and even threw herself into Xue Chongxun's arms. Although she was just an illusion, when her mother-in-law came to Sn's law's arms in full view of everyone, she would really laugh the whole world...

Unexpectedly, it was like this when we met, and we talked about new clothes and supper, that's all.

So Sun had nothing to say, and he didn't even think about the situation in the palace, and went into the mansion in silence.

Walking to the corridor south of Xue Chongxun's living room, he turned around and said: Sir, let's have supper with us.

good.Sun answered, and when he looked over, Xue Chongxun turned around and could only see his side face.It does look a little tired, and Sun even feels a little vicissitudes.

She married into the Li Tang royal family at the age of twelve or thirteen. She has seen many people with high status and power. Some of them have lived a very happy life, and are immersed in pleasure every day. She is as ambitious as Li Sanlang, who is confident, calm and decisive as a real man, and is a leftist...

However, it is rare to see people like Xue Chongxun. She neither feels that Xue Chongxun is extravagant and wants to indulge in the mood, nor does she feel that he is confident that one day will give him a great task, but she often looks like this when she goes home.

It’s strange that it’s neither sad about spring and autumn nor sad about talent (it’s all a prince with a different surname).

Sun was puzzled.

Before she knew it, she always paid attention to Xue Chongxun, probably because he was related to his life prospects, and there might be other reasons.

It is rare for the family to reunite tonight for dinner. Except for Princess Taiping, who is unconscious and Jincheng, who lives in the Daming Palace, Xue Chongxun's family is almost in harmony.

There was a table in the small hall next to the living room, and there were not many dishes because there were no preparations in advance.

After everyone sat together, there were actually not many people, and Xue Chongxun's room was not very lively.

Mother-in-law Sun, the main concubine Li Yaner, the concubine Cheng Ting, and Yuwen Ji who will be named a concubine sooner or later, is just a few people.

...The rustling drizzle on the roof was endless. Xue Chongxun felt that it was not so impetuous in the Tang Dynasty. For example, in later generations, he could never calm down and read traditional Chinese books without punctuation.
