On a cold day, snow drifts with the wind, covering the world.

The wise king riding on the horse looked at the commander of the five guards and asked: "How far is it from the capital ahead?"
The fifth commander of the Shadow Guards rode on the horse and said in a strong voice: "Reporting to the prince, we are only a few miles away. If it hadn't been winter and snowing now, we should have seen the city wall of the capital."
The wise king nodded and said: "Unexpectedly, it was not yet autumn when I left, and now it is already the depth of winter when I return."
The fifth commander of the Shadow Guard said: "The road is slippery in the snow, so it will inevitably be much slower on the road."
The wise king nodded and said: "Yes, that makes sense. Tell the soldiers to hurry back to the capital. The imperial court has already prepared a celebration banquet for the army!"
The fifth commander of the Shadow Guard raised his hands and said: "Yes!"

Andinghou Mansion
Now that we have entered the cold winter season, the coldness in early winter pales into insignificance compared to now.
In the yard, Xiao Ruxue and Xuan'er were having fun together...
wrong!
It was Xiao Ruxue who was having fun, Xuan'er didn't find it funny at all, but with Xiao Ruxue holding her hand, she could only follow Xiao Ruxue as he ran around building snowmen and making snow sculptures.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing cold-proof gloves carefully woven by the embroidery lady in the mansion. Otherwise, they would have suffered from frostbite on their hands this winter.
What the little girl loves most in her life is running outside when the snow is falling. In this season when everything is resting, the little girl doesn't want to go against the sluggishness of summer.
Relatively speaking, the one who is relatively normal is Su Qian, who is being held by Xu Qing in the Nuan Pavilion.
At this time, Su Qian was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, leaning against Xu Qing's arms. After a month, the little guy in Su Qian's belly had grown a lot.
In early winter, Su Qian could still build snowmen and have snowball fights with Xiao Ruxue and Xuan'er. Now in the cold winter, Su Qian was as if she had entered hibernation. She was unwilling to get out of bed, as if she wanted to take advantage of the sleep she missed last month.
It's normal to have everything replenished.
Su Qian's sleep was a big problem last month. She couldn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up during the day. This was similar to Xu Qing's college life in her previous life.
At that time, Su Qian liked to fantasize the most, and she would always ask Xu Qing some weird questions, and would frequently go to the toilet with Xuan'er's help.
Now I am much better. Not only my work and rest have been adjusted, but my diet has also returned to normal.
Unlike last month, if Xu Qing hadn't been afraid that the little guy in Su Qian's belly would be starved and forced him to feed Su Qian a little, she wouldn't have even planned to eat.
At this time, Xu Qing just held Su Qian's head and looked at Su Qian's sleeping face with a smile, for fear that some noise would disturb Su Qian's dream.
At this moment, Su Qian's eyebrows trembled and she reluctantly opened her eyes.
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and said, "My lady is awake. It has been almost an hour since she last opened her eyes and fell asleep again."
Su Qian pouted and said, "My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it makes me uneasy to sleep. Husband, have I gained a lot of weight?"
Xu Qing said: "Well, how can this be called fat? Madam, don't think too much."
Su Qian said dissatisfied: "But...but I just feel like I'm fat."
Xu Qing patted Su Qian gently and said, "Okay, it's all an illusion. I told my husband that I'm not fat at all. Don't think too much."
Pregnant women are very sensitive mentally. Xu Qing was very lucky that Princess Xian taught her her experience and he could handle it well every time.
Su Qian thought for a while and said: "The princess said that at this time, it seems that you can talk to the child and hum songs, and the child will hear it."
"Prenatal education can be done, but..." Xu Qing thought for a while and asked, "Is the child awake now?"
Su Qian rolled her eyes at Xu Qing: "How do I know?"
Xu Qing asked again: "Is the child moving now?"
Su Qian hummed: "The child makes noises all the time now. Just like my husband back then, he was not honest when sleeping..."
Xu Qing couldn't help but have a dark look on his face when he heard this. The one who doesn't sleep well every night is obviously a wife, right?
Who had a long leg suddenly fall on her husband in the middle of the night?
When sleeping like this, I also like to curl up in other people's arms and rub myself against each other.
Have you forgotten now?
However, since the baby in Su Qian's belly is now more than six months old, Xu Qing doesn't care about this with Su Qian.
In his previous life, he heard that singing would be beneficial to the intellectual development of children in the womb, but what song should he sing now?
Dad's father is called grandpa?
But this child doesn't have a grandfather. Not to mention that the child has never seen his grandfather. Xu Qing also didn't see his grandfather when he came over.
Haven't you heard?
The pension was paid by the child's grandfather.
Just when Xu Qing was struggling with what to sing, Xuan'er's voice came from outside the Nuan Pavilion: "Uncle, uncle, someone from the palace has sent you to the palace for a banquet. They say it is a celebration banquet for the army's return from victory."
When Xu Qing heard Xuan'er's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about singing any songs today. He looked at Su Qian and said, "Madam, I'm going to attend a celebration banquet for my husband. How about coming back soon?"
?”
Su Qian immediately said: "The husband is not allowed to get drunk again, otherwise I will not feed him the hangover soup again."
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "How about you give me a kiss, and I promise not to get drunk."
Su Qian rolled her eyes at Xu Qing, but still pecked Xu Qing on the mouth, and then lay down again. At this moment, Su Qian felt another warm and soft touch on her lips.
When Su Qian came to her senses, Xu Qing was already getting dressed.
Su Qian pursed her lips and looked at Xu Qing who took advantage of her unpreparedly.
Xu Qing said: "Courtesy reciprocates, madam, don't be angry."
After saying that, Xu Qing walked out of the door in a hurry.
…
royal palace
In a big hall
At this time, the main hall was almost full, with Xu Qing sitting next to Xiao Ye, and the two fathers-to-be were discussing how unsettled the children in their wives' stomachs had been this month.
Emperor Chu was very satisfied when he saw the named prisoners being brought up one by one. These were all captured enemy generals who could be sold for money.
King Xian said: "At this time, Lu Ling is good at using spears and is a martial arts wizard. It's a pity that he met Ye'er who doesn't follow martial arts ethics on the battlefield. And that one was also beaten by Ye'er who doesn't follow martial ethics..."
Emperor Chu listened to the named enemy generals nodding their heads. It seemed that this battle had gained a lot.
But...how come so many of them were captured by Ye'er who didn't talk about martial ethics?
When the two armies were fighting, how many times had he failed to uphold martial ethics?
What kind of person is he who doesn’t follow martial arts ethics?
At this moment, two soldiers in heavy armor came over with several people dressed in envoy uniforms.
Emperor Chu swallowed his saliva and asked: "Brother Emperor? Is this also a prisoner?"
The wise king waved his hand: "These are not prisoners, they are some peace envoys from the Zhou Kingdom. I met them on the way and invited them back by the way."
Emperor Chu stroked his forehead with his hand. How could he be invited back with this look?
