In the evening, as soon as the sun went down, Chen Wenhui put on a thin layer of fat powder, which did not increase her beauty, but dressed her beautiful face a little more mediocre, with the clothes she had selected in advance, she looked like an ordinary gorgeous aristocratic girl.

Chen Wenhui did not enter the palace with her parents, but took a carriage to the princess's mansion in advance, and went to the palace with the princess. In front of the Chen Mansion, Chen Yuanheng and Chen Yuanfeng were already preparing to get on the horse, and they were all watching their respective female dependents ride in the car, and the family always had to enter the palace together, especially the old lady Li among the female dependents. Li looked at the eldest daughter-in-law Wang and the third daughter-in-law Bai, who had already made up according to the product, and couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, the eldest daughter-in-law was wearing the clothes of the fourth-grade widow, but the Bai family was wearing the clothes of the second-grade lady.

This is not the most infuriating, the most infuriating thing is that his favorite second daughter-in-law is dressed up, but she can only stay in the house. In fact, as the mother of the concubine and the old lady of the Chen family, she could bring her second daughter-in-law into the palace, and she could also bring her favorite granddaughter into the palace, but she didn't do it. Her granddaughters are all married, and they will also appear at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet tonight, and the remaining two granddaughters, she is too lazy to promote. As for the second daughter-in-law, she didn't want the second daughter-in-law, who had no fateful status, to appear in the circle of noblewomen. Now she is the most enviable old lady in Da Chu. Her eldest daughter is the hostess of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet and is the highest-ranking woman in the harem. The second daughter and the third daughter all have orders and rewards, and they have been active in the circle of noblewomen for a long time, and they will appear at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. and her eldest granddaughter is the hot fourth prince concubine, and the third granddaughter is also Mrs. Hou Shizi of Jinxiang. The eldest daughter-in-law is a fourth-grade woman, the third daughter-in-law is a second-grade lady, and even the grandson of the concubine is already a first-rank official, although he did not appear in the capital, but it does not prevent Chen Wenjun from becoming a topic of conversation. These are all adding an aura to her, and any of these can envy the dead, let alone put them on her body? She does not allow a second daughter-in-law with no rank to appear in the many auras.

So. The old lady looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law very calmly and said, "Okay, it's all ready, let's get on the sedan chair, and be cautious in the palace." ”

The eldest lady and the Bai family both lowered their eyebrows and agreed: "Yes." Mother. ”

The old lady was very proud and got into the sedan chair. Subsequently, the eldest lady and the Bai family also got on the sedan chair respectively. After the ladies here were arranged, the old lady Chen Zhaonan was very pleased to see the eldest son and third son who were following him, and said to the second son and eldest grandson standing next to him: "You stay at home, keep it well, and the rewards that should be distributed must be distributed, be cautious and careful." ”

Chen Yuanluan and Chen Wenqi were busy. Chen Zhaonan said to his eldest son and third son: "Okay, let's go too." ”

Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Yuanheng hurriedly followed their father on the horse and set off to the palace.

On the way, I met many relatives, friends, colleagues and confidants, and they said hello one after another. After all, everyone is going to meet in the palace. This annual Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is a time for each family to show themselves, so everyone enters the palace with great satisfaction.

Here, Chen Wenhui and Princess Lichuan sat together in Princess Lichuan's wide incense cart. This car is different from the princess's car prepared by the imperial court. It's bigger and more ornate, but there's no need to worry about the imperial history participating in her overpassing, because this car was specially built for the princess by the emperor's decree of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This can also be seen from the emperor's favor for the princess.

At this time, not only the princess and Wen Hui sat in this spacious carriage, but also the nurse and the youngest son born to the princess, as well as the princess's daughter, who was also named a princess. Generally, it would be good for the princess's daughter to be named the county lord, but only the daughter of the princess who was particularly favored could be named the county lord. But Princess Lichuan's daughter was crowned princess, which was the first in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Wen Hui was facing the two princesses at the moment, and she couldn't help but think of a series of Disney princess cartoons such as Snow White that she had seen in her previous life, and she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Princess Lichuan smiled and said, "Wen Hui, what do you want?" Speaking of which, it's your first time in the palace, right? Curious, nervous? ”

Wen Hui came back to her senses and said, "Of course I'm curious. Sister Princess, is there a lot of rules in the palace, I'm a little worried, after all, I'm a wild person, and I'm most afraid of these etiquette. What if you do something wrong right in plain sight? ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Don't worry about this, my father and mother are the most magnanimous, and they will never punish people because of their poor etiquette." As for the others? Since you can be by my side, they probably won't dare to mess with you. ”

Wen Hui was about to say thank you, and Princess Qinghai, the daughter of Princess Lichuan, who was sitting next to her, who was as cute as a doll, said in a milky voice: "Auntie, don't worry, this palace will definitely protect you, whoever dares to bully you, this palace will definitely ask my brother to beat her." ”

Wen Hui and Lichuan both laughed at the same time, and Wen Hui said seriously: "Thank you, Princess Qinghai, then I will ask the princess to take care of me?" ”

Princess Harumi nodded vigorously.

The cute appearance made Wen Hui and Lichuan laugh again.

Princess Lichuan said: "Okay, the two princesses of the Great Chu Dynasty are sheltering you at the same time, and you can walk sideways in the palace." ”

Wen Hui smiled and asked, "Is the eldest sister also going to participate, don't you know how far away you are from us?" ”

Princess Lichuan said: "She is the princess of Jin, so naturally she also wants to participate, not only she wants to participate, but also the two side concubines of King Jin." In addition to them, there are also the third concubine, and two side concubines are also coming together, as well as the second concubine and two side concubines, hey, there is a lack of the prince's family this year, and he has the most people there, one princess, four Liangdi. ”

In fact, the relationship between Princess Lichuan and the prince is okay, after all, they have a common father, and the prince and the brothers are not in harmony, that is because the brothers are staring at his position, but the sisters are different, the sisters will not snatch his crown prince, so he has always been good to his sister Princess Lichuan.

Wen Hui could sense Princess Lichuan's grief, and hurriedly said: "He committed a heinous crime, and the emperor just abolished his crown prince, and the imprisonment is already benevolent and righteous." My sister shouldn't be sentimental for him. ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Actually, in the eyes of outsiders, we are all golden branches and jade leaves, born with great dignity, where can you imagine our sorrow, we are born with a lack of family affection, like you and your brothers, there is no zài in the royal family." Sometimes I envy you. Unfortunately, my only brother died. I still remember when my brother died, when my mother was going crazy. Therefore, the qiē made by the mother concubine now was buried from that time. ”

When Wen Hui heard this, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, her eldest aunt was so desperate to seize power in the harem, and she did not hesitate to defeat the queen, for what, just to help the four princes who were not related to each other to ascend the throne? Listening to the princess's words, it seems that the eldest aunt Chen Guifei has further plans, and she is not satisfied with defeating the queen. Isn't the queen her enemy? Isn't it her purpose to defeat the Queen?

Princess Lichuan suddenly thought that she shouldn't have said this so early, Wen Hui was so smart that she didn't want to be seen by her. So he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Do you know what the two hottest topics in the capital are right now?" ”

Wen Hui asked very cooperatively: "I only arrived in the capital yesterday, where can I know?" ”

Princess Lichuan said: "The first hot topic is which prince can become the next crown prince. Of course, no one will choose King Zhou, and the popular candidates are the third and fourth brothers. ”

When she said these words, Princess Lichuan's beautiful face had a hint of mockery.

Wen Hui said: "This is a hot topic, not only hot, but also related to the future of these nobles in the capital." ”

Princess Lichuan nodded and said, "Yes, sometimes I wonder if you are really only ten years old?" How can you be so smart? ”

Wen Hui smiled.

Princess Lichuan continued: "The second topic is the new official position, the two city lords. One is the lord of my family's horse, the city lord of Shanghai. One is your brother. Your brother, the city lord, is even more enviable, this is the city lord of a place other than the Great Chu, or hereditary, which is equivalent to making your Xiao Chen family a family that everyone in the Great Chu Dynasty envies. Yes, because of this city, you can already become a small family. There is also the vast land of Yizhou Island, the rich products, the huge interests of sea trade, and the land of the South Seas seems to be full of gold, which makes the princes and nobles and the poor people all talk about it. You, the Chen family, who are on the cusp of the storm, are naturally the object of everyone's attention. ”

Wen Hui said: "If you don't attract envy, you are mediocre. We are just getting a piece of the pie in the sea trade, and there may be many families like us in the future, after all, this world is very big, and it is time for us to turn our eyes from Da Chu to the world. My sister's Xu family is the same, doesn't my sister understand the vastness of this world better than others? ”

These words made Princess Lichuan's heart set off a huge wave. Now that she is at the top of the power, even the four princes have to look at her face, but she still understands the truth that prosperity must decline. How can she get greater benefits for her children and her in-laws in the future, or to preserve the current one, these are all questions she often thinks about, and now Wen Hui's words seem to open a door in her heart, these noblewomen of Dachu, no one understands the benefits of sea trade better than her, and she also understands the vastness of this world, and the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty is too small compared to the world. Since Xiao Chen's family can, can she? Can her family do this?
