Officials will have a holiday starting tomorrow, and they will only start to go to court on the fifth day of the new year.

Liu and Xiao'er reconciled in the house together, Liu was right about the family's expenses and the receipt and delivery of the New Year's gifts, to see if there were any omissions, this year's New Year's gifts received more than one and a half stars than last year, of course, there are many more gifts to be sent out and to be returned.

Xiao'er is right about the shop and Zhuangzi's account, Xiao'er's reconciliation speed is very fast, the basket of account books in front of her is finished, and Liu has just finished the account she wants to match.

"I used to feel that it was very tiring to go to the field and farm every day, and I envied those who were ladies and misses, so they didn't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky. I never thought that being a lady and a young lady would have to learn more, and it would be more tiring to work here!" Liu pointed to his head as he spoke.

Hearing this, Xiao'er stood up and walked behind Liu to help Liu massage his head.

"If my mother feels tired, it's the same for me to see. "Mental work can be as tiring as physical work, but it's more mentally tiring and physical.

"You have a lot of things to do every day, and my mother is still busy with this, by the way, I haven't prepared the clothes for entering the palace tomorrow!" Liu remembered that he had almost forgotten such an important matter, so he was so frightened that he quickly took Xiao'er's hand, stood up and prepared to check if there was anything wrong with those sets of clothes.

Tomorrow, the emperor will invite officials above the fourth grade to dinner, and after eating, they will officially take their annual leave.

Shen Chengyao is a marquis and a family member, so such a meritorious minister is naturally among the invitees.

"Didn't you let Mama Rong go to see it before dinner, there is no problem. Mother, let's go to bed early tonight, and get up early tomorrow to make up. Xiao'er saw that Liu was a little busy, so she urged her to go to sleep.

Liu also felt that he should sleep, and urged Xiao'er to go back to sleep.

Early the next morning, the family dressed up to attend the palace banquet.

The weather was unusually cold, and there was a long queue at Donghua Gate to enter the palace.

Xiao Fuzi was still waiting outside the palace gate, and when he saw the carriage of the Shengping Marquis Mansion appearing, he stepped forward, took them, and took the token and led it in directly.

There are really not many officials who can have such treatment, except for the Shengping Marquis Mansion, which is the Queen's maiden Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

The others entered the palace in order of rank.

Xiao'er had to sigh that it was always easy to do things.

If she stood for half a day in such a cold and snowy environment, and it was the coldest time of the day, she would not have to freeze into ice strips.

Besides, even if you enter the palace, you still have to walk a long way to reach the Taihe Palace, and when you think about it, you feel that this meal is a crime!

Xiao Fuzi led them to the outside of the Taihe Palace, and a palace maid stepped forward to lead the Liu family and their female dependents to the inner hall, and Shen Chengyao and their father and son were taken to the main hall by Xiao Fuzi.

Liu pulled Xiao Xi'er, Xiao'er pulled Yun'er, and as soon as the four of them entered the hall, the heating came to their faces, and they were really comfortable.

After saluting according to the rules of etiquette, the queen immediately beckoned them to sit down to her right hand.

On the lower left of the queen sat the old lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the general's wife Lu, as well as Di Shaowei's cousin Di Junya and her mother-in-law Ma.

Such an arrangement, close and close, immediately became apparent.

The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is over, and the Marquis of Shengping's Mansion is ......

The face of the lady present changed slightly, and then she became casual again.

The smile on the face of the prime minister's wife is a little unbearable, now that the right prime minister has dismounted, his father-in-law is the only left prime minister, and it cannot be said that one person is above ten thousand people, but this is the case, no matter how she curries favor in front of the queen, the queen is lukewarm to her.

She glanced at her daughter and was heartbroken.

Since this daughter knew that the emperor had married the county lord of Rui'an to the six princes, she had been listless all day long, and she was depressed in everything she did.

"Xiao'er, I haven't seen her for more than a month, and she has lost a lot of weight, her face is sharp, she was tired before!" the queen took Xiao'er's hand, and her tone was concerned and intimate.

"I used to think I was too fat and not beautiful enough, and I was thinking about how to lose weight, but now I don't have to lose weight, it's great. Queen Mother, do you think I'm getting pretty?" Xiao'er touched her pointed face and said beautifully.

But it's not that she's stinky and beautiful, it's really that even she feels that she is getting more and more beautiful.

"You girl is still thinking about losing weight, and it won't be beautiful if you lose weight any longer. The queen deliberately frightened.

The son's vision is good, this girl is really getting better and better.

Yang Guifei was cut off because of her favorite daughter-in-law, watching the two of them stage a circus of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" loving each other here, she felt extremely aggrieved, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "How can you seduce people if you don't lose weight and become beautiful, you don't know how to be honest at a young age, and a bunch of ......"

"That's enough!" the queen's face sank, and she scolded sharply.

"Yang Guifei looks like a national beauty, but you can do it yourself, don't think that everyone else is the same as you!"

The ladies present didn't know that the emperor was still just a prince when Yang Guifei designed to give medicine to the emperor of the year, and then conceived the dragon seed, so that she had the position of today's concubine.

The so-called exposing people does not expose their shortcomings, and beating people does not slap their faces, it is the first time that the queen mother has not given Yang Guifei face like this, and she satirized the events of the year in front of the families of so many ministers.

The ladies present all bowed their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

But everyone secretly thought in their hearts, what Yang Guifei meant by what she said.

Yang Guifei's face turned red instantly, and she regretted her impulsiveness while secretly hating the queen and Xiao'er's family.

When the queen saw that she didn't dare to make a sound, she glanced at the women again, and she didn't understand what these women were thinking.

So the queen smiled and said to Xiao'er: "A while ago, thank you so much for discovering the conspiracy of the Japanese people and following them regardless of the danger to your life, otherwise the people in the entire imperial capital city would have been infected with smallpox." ”

"I don't deserve the queen's thanks, but also the queen's mother has me in her heart, and summoned me to talk, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the words of the envoy of the Wa Kingdom on the way to Kunning Palace. It's really the queen's credit. Xiao'er replied with a smile.

"Your girl's mouth is sweet, I don't dare to take this credit, if I summon others, others won't be able to find out, no one in this imperial capital city understands the Japanese language. That's why you're so knowledgeable. Besides, Yi'er was injured when he fought with the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, and later contracted smallpox, and you helped take care of him. Although the emperor has already issued a secret decree to marry you to Yi'er, you are not an outsider, but I still want to thank you as a mother. ”

When the people present heard this, they all understood what Yang Guifei said just now, but it turned out that the emperor had already assigned the two to marry, but they didn't know.

However, the queen deliberately mentioned this matter, because she didn't want any gossip about the county lord of Rui'an to spread out.
