Zhao Zhen sent his confidant Yang Su to lead a team of people to the north to look for someone and bring Song Zhirou to Beijing.

He himself was not idle. He and Zhao Mian went to the battlefield with the generals respectively.

To recover Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places.

The South was indeed easier to conquer than the North, and the wealthy businessmen and officials in Yangzhou surrendered readily.

The main reason is that Zhao Nanxiao has already occupied Chang'an City and his army is unstoppable.

The emperors of the Shang Dynasty were already incompetent and often exploited the Jiangnan area. Now that a new dynasty was to be established, their surrender was just a natural move.

This also avoids harm to the people.

Only the Yizhou area takes more time.

The terrain in the Yizhou area is rugged and the people are strong, so it took four months to conquer it.

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Mian successively led the army back to Chang'an City.

At this time, half a year had passed. Now, except for the area of the Western Regions Protectorate which was still occupied by the King of Qi, the rest of the Shang Dynasty's territories belonged to Zhao Nanxiao.

Some princes of the Shang Dynasty's fiefdoms surrendered and cooperated with Zhao Nanxiao, hoping to survive in the future.

Those who resisted resolutely were executed.

In order to clear the obstacles for Zhao Zhen, Zhao Nanxiao's tactics can be considered iron-blooded.

On the day of February 18th, the forty-year-old Zhao Nanxiao ascended the throne as emperor.

The Great Shang Dynasty was officially replaced by the Great Yan Dynasty.

This year is the first year of "Ding'an".

The whole country celebrated the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Many criminals who were imprisoned innocently by the Shang Dynasty were released.

There were also some criminals who had been exiled to various places, and they were all pardoned.

They can go back to their hometown again.

However, this was only an apparent surrender. The situation inside and outside the court was extremely turbulent.

Although the Zhao family occupied the court in name only.

It is easy to conquer a country, but it is not so easy to govern it.

Therefore, after Zhao Zhen led the army back, he was busy like a top.

Due to Zhao Nanxiao's health, he cannot work hard, so many things fall on Zhao Zhen's shoulders.

He really doesn't have time for romance right now.

Song Zhirou was brought to Chang'an City three months ago.

She was extremely excited at that time.

She also didn't expect that she would have such good fortune. Her uncle, whom she never took seriously, actually became the emperor.

She originally just wanted to get the title of the Crown Prince's wife.

Now she has her sights set higher.

She wanted to be Zhao Zhen's wife, the Crown Princess, the Queen, and in the future she wanted to be the Queen Mother.

Ever since Song Zhirou came back, she has been acting like a spoiled brat in front of the Marquis' wife, just to get her to say good things about her.

The Marquis's wife didn't dare to make any guarantees, so her promises were very vague.

Song Zhirou knew that her aunt's words alone did not count, so she was not discouraged.

Since Zhao Zhen is the only one in the backyard now, she is very confident.

However, there was one thing that made Song Zhirou worried.

That means Qin Wan’s whereabouts are unknown!

After all, this matter is a thorn in her heart.

She didn't know whether Qin Wan and the child were dead or alive.

In fact, she would rather believe that Qin Wan and the child were dead.

After all, so many Hu people went to capture Qin Wan. Even if she was not executed immediately, she should have been taken to Liang State.

In addition to Qin Wan's life or death, what concerned Song Zhirou was Zhao Zhen's attitude towards Qin Wan.

When Song Zhirou found out that Yang Su was sent by Zhao Zhen to find Qin Wan and pick her up, her defense broke down.

She didn't understand why Zhao Zhen's feelings for Qin Wan suddenly seemed higher than hers.

This gave her a sense of urgency, and she felt that she had to get pregnant with her cousin's child as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Yang Su did not find the person this time.

This time when he went to the capital, he only brought her back.

When Song Zhirou entered the capital, Zhao Zhen had not returned yet and was fighting in the south.

Now that Zhao Nanxiao has become emperor, he has moved into the palace with the Song family.

So, Song Zhirou and the people from the third room were the only ones left in this house.

The Third Madam hurried to Song Zhirou's yard, "Cousin, cousin!"

The Third Madam's shout interrupted Song Zhirou's thoughts.

Seeing that it was her ally, the Third Madam, Song Zhirou immediately stood up, "Third Aunt!"

When the Third Madam saw Song Zhirou like this, she became anxious for her and said, "Cousin, why don't you worry? Dalang has been back for a few days and hasn't come to see you. Why don't you send him a message?"

Song Zhirou was also worried about this matter. She felt that her cousin treated her differently than before.

Not as close as before.

"Aunt, my cousin is so busy that he has disappeared. I can't find him even if I try to look for him!"

It would be a lie to say that Song Zhirou was not anxious.

The Third Madam had accepted money from Song Zhirou to speak for her in the past, and now she wanted to catch Song Zhirou even more.

After all, they are only the third house, and it is necessary for them to have a good relationship with the future imperial concubines.

The third lady knew Zhao Nanxiao's physical condition, and Zhao Zhen was now helping Zhao Nanxiao handle state affairs, so she was the candidate for the future crown prince.

The Third Madam has already pinned her hopes on Song Zhirou and wants to rely on her.

"Cousin, you better hurry up while Dalang is still alone. If the emperor gives Dalang someone else, it will be useless even if you rely on the previous relationship."

The third lady advised earnestly.

Song Zhirou clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "Aunt San, I understand."

Song Zhirou thought that ever since she drugged her cousin and claimed that they had spent their wedding night together, her cousin had never come close to her again.

Her eyebrows jumped. Could it be that her cousin found out?

No, it won't!

He won't know!

Can’t know!

When Song Zhirou thought of this, her face turned pale.

"Miss cousin, you...what's wrong with you?"

When the third lady saw Song Zhirou’s pale face, she began to feel conflicted.

Perhaps she shouldn't bet on Song Zhirou alone. The youngest daughter of Li Feng from the Honglu Temple is also a good choice.

Madam Li brought the girl to see her several times, and the third lady thought she could also say something good about the girl.

Song Zhirou didn't know that the Third Madam was going to jump the order. She gently stroked her chest and said, "Third Aunt, don't worry. This is an old problem of mine."

The third lady: “….”

When the Third Madam saw Song Zhirou like this, she remembered that she had been in poor health in the past, and she felt that she couldn't just go down this path forever.

She already had the idea of changing her support group.

So he said dryly: "Well, take good care of yourself, your health is more important. Dalang and you have different feelings, so don't be anxious."

So after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he left in a hurry.

Song Zhirou looked at the Third Madam's back and curled her lips. She already knew who the Third Madam was.

She didn't intend to keep trying to win over such a person.

However, as long as Qin Wan doesn't bring the child back, she will be able to control her cousin.

It seems that we still have to send someone to deliver a letter to Hu Wanchou, asking him to continue looking for the person in secret, and execute him secretly when he is found to eliminate future troubles.

In order to stabilize Hu Wanchou, she has given Chuncai, her beautiful daughter, to Hu Wanchou as a concubine.

At this time, Qin Wan, who was missed by Song Zhirou, was carrying the little lion out. As soon as she put him on the ground, she walked into the snow.

Qin Wan reminded, "Little lion, slow down!"

The little lion is now one year old. He just celebrated his first birthday on February 18th.

The little lion starts walking earlier than other children.

Now he was dressed like a ball, running in the snow, "Mom... Mom, you... come here! Hahaha!"
