Of course, Chen Xi did this to deter someone, and many things on the table were rewarded by the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother.

Although these things have paid a lot of price, they also tell someone in disguise that they are not without support.

Duchess Zhenguo's face was ugly, and even in the face of the table full of delicacies, she still had no appetite at all. That's why I just ate a little bit of food and left quickly.

The Duchess of Zhenguo, who returned home, was also extremely unhappy, because she was first scolded by the Duke of Zhenguo, and finally made it difficult by the old lady, in short, a stomach full of anger.

Chen Xi's pregnancy is a big deal, and I originally thought that I would just need to receive guests, but I didn't expect news to suddenly come from the queen's mother.

Yang Tinghan went out to serve the country, Chen Xi stabilized the rear at home, and he was also a meritorious man, and the children of the two of them were naturally highly anticipated.

So the queen mother personally ordered Chen Xi to hold a banquet.

Banquets were also held.

Chen Xi is not interested in holding a banquet at all, because it is time-consuming and laborious, even if he receives some gifts, he has to return them when the other party holds a banquet, which is really boring.

What's more, because I just got pregnant, my whole body felt very tired, and I couldn't wait to lie in bed every minute and every second.

But the queen mother had already given the order, and Chen Xi had no choice but to hold on to his spirit and start to hold it.

But fortunately, Mama Chen and Mama Liu are both very experienced, Chen Xi only needs to move his mouth on the side, and someone will start to talk about other things.

It only took two days for the banquet to be arranged, and the people in the capital once again saw Chen Xi's ability.

On the day of the banquet, although the Duchess of Zhenguo was reluctant, she was helpless, and was still brought over by the old lady to participate in the banquet.

Because it was already winter, fresh vegetables were very expensive, and even the rich family could not eat them every day, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to use those fresh ingredients to hold a banquet.

For a person who wants to save face, this rich dish is undoubtedly a big slap in the face, especially in the face of those mocking eyes.

Even fools know how those people laugh at them behind their backs.

Of course, there are not only people in the background, everyone in the world has a few enemies, although the Duchess of Zhenguo has a noble status, but there are also some people with good status.

At the same table, there were also some dignitaries, and a sister-in-law of the queen's mother's family.

"Duchess Zhenguo, you are really blessed, you gave birth to two sons, one is more capable than the other, the younger son married a royal county lord, and the eldest son married a golden doll back!"

"Don't talk nonsense here, people have gone out now, although they say that they are their own sons, but if they meet, they have to shout their aunt!"

"Ouch, how did I forget about this, Duchess Zhenguo, I'm sorry, I will definitely pay attention to this kind of thing next time, and I will never talk about it casually in the future."

What is called will not be casually talked about in the future.

This kind of thing should rot in the stomach and not say a word.

But the two women in front of you, you say a word and I apologize on the surface, but in fact they are sticking a knife in their hearts.

Even if you have experienced countless ups and downs since you were a child, you should sit firmly on Diaoyutai at this time, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

But the smile on the face of the Duchess of Zhenguo could no longer be maintained, and then she covered her stomach with her hands, "It may be that I ate a little cold something today, and my body is a little unwell, you eat slowly first, and I will find a place to rest, after all, this is my son's mansion!" ”

As a mother-in-law has gotten up, the two daughters-in-law naturally can't continue to sit and eat the banquet, the two of them stand on the side of the Duchess of Zhenguo on the left and right, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leave together.

The two ladies who had just been there to satirize the Duchess of Zhenguo laughed heartily when they saw the back of the deserted and fled.

"Look at the way he looks, it's obviously embarrassing and unbearable, and he still holds on, I really think that I am noble, so I don't take anyone in my eyes, I deserve it!"

"Who's to say it isn't? Yang Tinghan has been out on the expedition since the past, as long as he can come back alive, prosperity and wealth will be indispensable in the future, his precious son is useless, but the son who was thrown out has made great progress, this kind of thing feels regretful to anyone! ”

The two ladies continued to sneer.

And although Chen Xi was entertaining guests on the other side, he also knew everything about this side of the matter.

The Duchess of Zhenguo left the table suddenly, and Chen Xi only pretended not to know.

And at this moment, the Queen Mother's reward was introduced again.

The eunuch of the rice paper read a large number of rewards, and the people were very envious of them.

When the eunuchs in the palace left, everyone surrounded Chen Xi, looking at the gold and silver treasures and the precious silk and satin, and their eyes were full of gold stars.

"It seems that Yang Tinghan must have won a great victory in the frontier." Otherwise, they would not have been rewarded with so many valuable things.

Those present were all some official eunuchs, so they naturally knew what these things represented, not only the queen mother's reward, but also some followed, which looked like the emperor's reward.

It's just that because the Queen Mother is respected, other people's gifts can only be put on this list.

Of course, there may be some other reasons, just to keep a low profile.

Chen Xi didn't feel too happy when he looked at those rewards, but frowned, always feeling as if something was going to happen.

The banquet on Chen Xi's side was still going on, and the guests came to the door at the banquet, and many more guests came later.

As a result, Chen Xi originally prepared more than 40 seats, but in the end, it was not enough, and more than 10 seats were added. The banquet was lively and the atmosphere was very warm.

Although Chen Xi couldn't go to the front yard to entertain guests, Ouyang Ming had grown up in the capital since he was a child, so he was able to deal with it easily, and by the way, he improved his status.

Everyone was in a joyful atmosphere, but in the other guest house, the Duchess of Zhenguo had smashed everything in the room that could be smashed.

The two daughters-in-law on the side originally wanted to open their mouths to comfort a few words, but they didn't know where to start, after all, they both had their own little abacus.

Zhang Xuening looked at the broken teacups one by one, and her heart sank to the bottom, she originally thought that the Duchess of Zhenguo would definitely make a big fuss when she came over today, and then let Chen Xi have no face at all, but she didn't expect it......
