Just after the winter solstice, Kaifeng Imperial City ushered in the first snow of winter.

On this snowy morning, the mighty patrol team returned to the imperial city.

Kaifeng Imperial City, which had been "deserted" for a while, finally became lively again, and the people in the city came out to watch. The news of the prince's birth had already reached Kaifeng Mansion, and the city was also filled with joy.

There were so many people on this patrol that they began to be diverted as soon as they arrived in Kaifeng.

The families of Taixue's bunch of talented people and beauties were all waiting at the city gate to pick them up. They agreed to go to Jiangnan for spring break, but who knew they would go as far as Black Wind City, and now it's almost the Chinese New Year before they come back.

When passing through the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Zhao Pu did not go back because the Crown Princess had already been waiting at the palace.

Neither Long Qiaoguang nor Ouyang Shaozheng came back, and they stayed in Black Wind City with their wives to celebrate the New Year.

He Yihang actually brought Shen Shaoxi with him.

Everyone felt that, after all, it was related to He Wanfeng, and taking He Yihang with him might be able to help at the critical moment.

In addition, two female generals, Li Yan and Miao Bacai, also came.

If Ouyang doesn't come, there will be no one to take care of the Imperial City Army. After all, He Yihang is the deputy commander, and it will easily cause controversy if he takes charge of the Imperial City Army.

Zou Liang couldn't count on him anymore. He would definitely accompany Lin Yehuo every day when he returned to Kaifeng. He would have no time to manage the Imperial City Army.

Ouyang Man's military camp asked around, and no one was willing to take over the hot potato of the Imperial City Army. Moreover, it was almost the Chinese New Year. Who would be willing to come all the way to Kaifeng City? I wonder how "dangerous" Kaifeng Mansion is!

In the end, it was Li Yan who saved Ouyang.

Li Yan has been studying some ancient books with great concentration recently, so she came to Kaifeng with her. If she doesn't understand something, she can ask Gongsun and the Silver Demon King for advice at any time.

Miao Bacai and Li Yan are good sisters, and the day Zhan Zhao told him how good the chef Guo Tian was in Taibaiju, Kaifeng Mansion, Miao Bacai, who is the number one foodie in the northwest, was immediately moved.

As soon as Ouyang heard that the sisters were willing to come to Kaifeng, he quickly handed over all the seals and official documents of the Imperial City Army and asked them to take over temporarily. When Lao He returned, he would bring his wife back to replace them.

All the generals in Black Wind City are worried about the Imperial City Army. The Imperial City Army is inherently complex and not as united as the troops in the northwest. There are always people who want to take over Ouyang's position, but don't think that the two girls are here. When bullied, take the opportunity to cause trouble...

Ouyang was quite happy and said to you, you unlucky people, just work hard and don't cry and beg me to go back and save you.

He Yihang and Shen Shaoxi returned to the commander's mansion first.

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo took Yiyi and Sexiao to Zou Mansion.

Miao Bacai and Li Yan were temporarily living in Huofengtang. Zhuge Yin happened to be in Kaifeng City these days. Lin Yehuo was not at home anyway, so he was eating and drinking everywhere. Several heroines happened to live together to drink and cook hotpot. .

…

When we arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, the scale of the diversion was even larger, and there were so many animals...

Neighbors watching the excitement on Nantian Street helped to count. When I went there, there was only one dragon and one tiger. What are they bringing back...

"There's an extra little chubby silver tiger!"

"My belly is so round, is it pregnant?"

"Wow! Look at that leopard!"

"Are those brothers from the Tianzun family?"

"Is there a snake hanging around Yin Hou's neck?"

"Look! There is a golden little sika deer."

"Huh? There are a few more kids!"

"Hey, handsome boy Yishui..."

"Here you have the ball! Are Xiao Liangzi and the others going to play the club match?"

After talking about this, the neighbors finally saw the little boy jumping out of the carriage. In an instant, the crowd cheered, "Ah! The dumplings haven't grown taller! That's great!"

The little fourth son jumped out of the carriage happily and was about to wave to the neighbors, but when he heard these words, his little face puffed up and he was pulled into the Yamen by Xiao Liangzi with a pout on his lips.

Zhan Zhao jumped out of the carriage carrying a bundle of scrolls with dragon patterns, and quickly greeted the neighbors when he saw them.

Following Zhan Zhao, the Fifth Master also came down, also carrying a few volumes of case files and swinging his sleeves coolly.

The two walked up the steps in front of Kaifeng Mansion side by side.

The Demon King took the soy sauce team, Lu Tian Hanyao Changtian and the White Dragon King also got out of the car.

The neighbors held their faces in their hands and covered their hearts with their hands - oh, life is starting to become interesting again.

Of course, the smiles of the neighbors immediately faded after seeing Mr. Bao's dark face - not only has his appearance returned, but his sense of security has also returned!

Mr. Gongsun did not return to the Yamen, but went to the palace with Zhao Pu.

The Queen Mother and all the royal relatives in the palace were looking forward to it, and they all wanted to take a look at the little prince.

After Concubine Pang gave birth, her body recovered well under Mr. Gongsun's care.

The little prince is also quite healthy. He is just full-term now and is so cute. His face is very round and his skin is very white, so he is nicknamed Little Tangyuan.

Because the baby was born a few days early, everyone thought he might be impatient.

But Xiao Tangyuan had a pair of eyes that were almost exactly the same as Zhao Zhen's. When Zhao Pu saw him slowly burping, he couldn't help but gasped - this was clearly Zhao Zhen when he was a child...

Nangong, on the other hand, silently warned himself - our Nangong family will not allow any descendants to serve as bodyguards in the future! Absolutely!

Of course, the happiest thing is Zhao Zhen. Now the emperor has a daughter and a son, and he is so beautiful that he will be silly and happy all day long.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty maintained the state of kissing his wife, daughter, and son all the way back. He didn't care about causing trouble. Therefore, Nangong was able to rest and recuperate all the way. When he returned to Kaifeng, he was full of energy and even

I also gained a pound.

Everywhere is lively and lively. Everyone is busy saying hello to their families, packing their luggage, chatting about their experiences along the way, and eating together...

After a busy afternoon, I finally settled down.

…

At night, Kaifeng Imperial City became quiet.

Zhan Zhao opened the window of Miaomiao Building and looked at the slowly falling snowflakes in the yard.

At this time, the window opposite also opened. The fourth child placed a plum blossom paper lantern on the window sill, and four little heads crowded in a row in front of the window. The four little faces had the same smile, and they looked across the garden.

Luoxue waved to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao also smiled and waved to Liangchen Meijing. Behind him, Yao Yao Da's head immediately came over. When he saw the fourth son and the others waving, he swung his tail happily.

Wu Ye, who was wiping Yaoyao's scales, was slapped in the face by the big phoenix tail, and he pulled the silly dragon helplessly. Bai Yutang also came over, and leaned against the window sill with Zhan Zhao, looking at the flying things in the yard.

of white snow.

At this time, the four little heads on the opposite side turned in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate. Gongsun and Zhao Pu, who had been busy in the palace all afternoon and were caught having dinner by the Queen Mother and the Eight Kings, finally came back.

Mr. Gongsun was wearing a snow-white fur cloak and hat, and the Ninth Prince was wearing a black cloak. He had one arm around Gongsun's shoulders and the other held an umbrella...

The four children ran to open the door. Zhao Pu nodded to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. Gongsun was dragged into the room by several children and asked them what they had for dinner.

The Ninth Prince shook off the snowflakes on his umbrella and entered the house.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang closed the windows, and Yaoyao flew to the beam, holding his long tail to look at Yinxue and Xiaowu resting in the nest below.

Zhan Zhao sat next to a large and warm cushion that Master Wu had just made in the afternoon, and reached out to gently touch Yin Xue's head.

Xiaowu lay next to Yinxue, with a little golden leaf sleeping next to its warm fur next to his belly.

The fifth master walked to the bed and called "cat".

Zhan Zhao stood up and ran to get into bed.

Master Wu waved his sleeves... and the oil lamp on the table went out.

In the yard next door, wintersweet is in full bloom, and there is a faint cold fragrance in the heavy snow...

There was a large umbrella standing in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a stove on the stone table under the umbrella that was boiling wine. The Silver Demon King brought soy sauce and a few of them were drinking around the stove. It felt like he was back in the Valley of Flowers...

…

There was a heater in the room behind him, making it warm.

In the room, on the couch where Tianzun usually takes a nap, Xingyue is sleeping, covered with a white velvet blanket that Tianzun found for him when he rummaged through the cabinets in the afternoon. Under Yin Hou's quilt, the balls are coiled into a ball.

Also fell asleep.

The seven little silver foxes were not afraid of the cold. They ran around the old men and made circles of small footprints on the snow.

…

After about three days of rest, everyone recovered from the fatigue of the journey.

…

Early this morning, the snow stopped.

Zhan Zhao got up very early and had the rare opportunity to accompany Mr. Bao to the court.

Today is Zhao Zhen's first morning court meeting since he came back. During the emperor's absence, he was not idle in the imperial city. Li Yue and the Eight Kings accepted the imperial edict and eradicated the Cao family of the Ministry of War.

Zhao Zhen put Lu Yuelan and Fang Jingxiao in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, and appointed a group of new people.

The Emperor had been away for only half a year and had selected many talents from local areas to bring back to the palace. The situation in the DPRK had also undergone considerable changes.
