In Changle Palace, Empress Dowager Xu sat on the main seat in a dark dress, and Xu Yingrong sat beside her obediently. There were some concubines sitting below, saying that they were here to ask for peace, but in fact, they just wanted to see the princess of Jinyang.

"Queen Mother, you have to teach that dead girl a good lesson later, she bullied Yu'er in the Imperial Garden yesterday!" Xu Yingrong couldn't help but complain, she was angry when she thought of yesterday's incident, and she dared to bully her baby daughter just after returning to the palace, she was simply looking for death.

Empress Dowager Xu closed her eyes, and said in a lazy voice: "With Yu'er's temperament, it's good not to bully others, Jin Yatou has just returned to the palace, how can she bully her?" This time Jinyang came back with a great achievement, Empress Dowager Xu was very surprised, and even her attitude towards her has changed a lot, and she is no longer as ruthless as before. After all, it is her own granddaughter, and there is no need to kill them all, and she thinks that Zong Zhengjing becoming the crown prince is a foregone conclusion, and it is not something that a princess of Jinyang can change.

"Queen Mother......" Xu Yingrong couldn't guess her thoughts. Since the news of Jinyang's victory came back to the palace, Empress Dowager Xu's attitude has changed, which makes her very worried. Daddy sent a message that Su Li told them to get rid of Jinyang, what should be done now?

Just as she was distressed, a summons broke her thoughts.

"Princess Jinyang has arrived!" Hearing this, everyone craned their necks and looked towards the door. I saw a stunning woman in a purple dress slowly walking towards them, that dusty temperament, that elegant pace, that noble demeanor, made everyone present gasp. Lustful princess!

Empress Dowager Xu was also deeply amazed, this granddaughter is more beautiful and noble than her mother, there is such a beautiful princess in Beicang, and her face is also bright! At this time, she was full of joy, but she completely forgot how she ruthlessly forced Jinyang away nine years ago.

Xu Yingrong was amazed and extremely resentful, this dead girl was very much like Shen Shulan, when she thought of that slut, she remembered the emperor's indifference to her over the years, and suddenly had a little more hatred for Zong Zhengjin. And the other concubines were full of disbelief after being amazed, how could such a weak princess lead troops to the battlefield? And won the battle, which is really amazing. Concubine He, who was sitting at the bottom, was full of jealousy in her heart at this time, her daughter was compared to Zong Zhengyu, even if she didn't think that this girl would compare everyone as soon as she came back, all the scenery was robbed by their mother and daughter, how could she not be angry? How not to get angry?

"Jinyang meets the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose!" Zong Zhengjin slowly knelt down and saluted, his movements were so elegant that people couldn't find a trace of mistakes.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Empress Dowager Xie." Zong Zhengjin got up, and Zhao Qing and the others followed.

"This time you have made a great contribution to Beicang, which is really good." Empress Dowager Xu's voice was a little old, and Zong Zhengjin raised her eyes to look at her, she was really much older. I only heard her soft voice say: "As the princess of Beicang, Jinyang has the responsibility to protect Beicang."

is neither humble nor arrogant, pampered and not shocked, if it is cultivated well, it will definitely bring huge benefits to Beicang. "Good, good, good," Empress Dowager Xu said three times in a row, her eyes flashing with essence. Zong Zhengjin was afraid that he would not have thought that Empress Dowager Xu at this time would have the idea of cultivating her. If he knew her thoughts, Zong Zhengjin would definitely be ridiculed, just by her, would she be worthy?

"Jinyang didn't know what to bring when he came back from Yangzhou, this thing was given to the Queen Mother, showing Jinyang's filial piety, and asked the Queen Mother to accept it." Zong Zhengjin took a silver brocade box from Zhao Qing's hand and respectfully handed it to the Queen Mother. Empress Dowager Xu took it with a smile, opened it and was shocked. Seeing this, Xu Yingrong hurriedly leaned over and took a look, and this glance could no longer be removed.

"Good boy, I have a heart." Empress Dowager Xu was so happy that she took out the contents of the box, which turned out to be a red sandalwood fan.

"Queen Mother, this fan is made of Venus rosewood, a little fan will shine, the fan is carved Nanshan Shou, Donghai Fu, the fan pendant is Yangzhou purple jade, this fan is the only one in the world." Zong Zhengjin explained in detail, the more she talked about the Empress Dowager Xu, the happier she became, and the more jealous the concubines became.

"Okay, okay, this is the best gift the mourning family has ever received." Seeing that Empress Dowager Xu was smiling so happily, the corners of Zong Zhengjin's mouth rose slightly, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes. This red sandalwood fan, which took Liancheng County three months to make, is not just to make her smile!

"Imperial concubine, this set of purple jade heads is Jinyang's heart, please accept it." Zong Zhengjin motioned for Dongping to open the set of jewelry in front of Xu Yingrong, and sure enough, as soon as he saw such exquisite purple jade jewelry, Xu Yingrong immediately changed his face, his eyes were shining with golden light, and he really wanted to wear it on his head immediately.

"Multi-...... Thank you very much. Although she doesn't like Jinyang, she loves this set of jewelry very much, Xu Yingrong motioned to the maid to come forward and accept the gift.

Zong Zhengjin was very satisfied with their performance, the reason why she did not give the queen mother purple jade jewelry was because she, as the most noble woman in the harem, could not have purple jade, but the Venus red sandalwood fan was different. This Venus Rosewood is a rare item in Yangzhou, so she is not allowed to sell the Venus Rosewood as a commodity, and only pays tribute to her once every three years. So you can't buy this on the market at all, and now it's just right to give it to the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Xu and the others, who got the gifts, were in a very good mood, and after Zong Zhengjin chatted with them for a few words, he knelt down and returned to the palace.

Approaching evening, the main gate of the palace opened, and the civil and military officials and the big families were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and walked towards the Taiji Hall one after another. Today is the dust washing banquet for Princess Jinyang to return to the palace, and the emperor has decreed that all officials above the fifth grade will go to the banquet. Such a grace has to make some people think about it.

In Shulan Palace, after Zong Zhengjin bathed, Zhao Qing and a few people dressed her up. Thinking of the dust washing banquet in the evening, she had a headache, she had to face such a hypocritical face, and she had to pretend to be harmonious.

As if seeing her thoughts, Zhao Qing comforted her while curling her hair: "Princess, Miss Shen and General Tang are invited to tonight's banquet, and it won't be so boring if they are there."

"Well, it's good that they are here," Zong Zhengjin nodded, and thought about it again: "The three of you must be extremely careful in your actions in the future, the Xu family will definitely be staring at us in the dark, and we can't let them grasp anything."

"Yes, Princess." The three of them spoke in unison, even if the princess didn't say anything, they knew what to do, and they would never give the enemy a chance.

"Princess, the time has come, it's time to go to the Taiji Palace." Nan Su reminded, "Okay, let's go," Zong Zhengjin was already dressed, Zhao Qing stepped forward to help her get up, and then the group walked towards the Taiji Palace.

At this time, the Taiji Hall was already a lantern ribbon, except for the emperor, the queen mother and the protagonist Princess Jinyang, the rest of the people arrived. Xu Yingrong was dressed in a purple dress, wearing a flying fairy bun, and her exquisite face was quite well maintained, and she could vaguely see the style of the year. She sat elegantly at the bottom of the dragon chair and looked coldly at the group of people below.

Zong Zhengjing sat on the seat, smiling and chatting with the sons of the family around him, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling. Zong Zhengyu was wearing a pink palace dress, dressed very beautifully, which attracted the attention of many men present. But her eyes have been lingering on the opposite national teacher Yi Chu, but Yi Chu doesn't look at her directly, in such an occasion, she can't openly walk over to talk to him, she can only listen sullenly to the compliments of the ladies of the family.

Zong Zhengmin led Tang Yi, and Shen Yunlong walked towards Yi Chu. "I've seen Yi Guoshi", Tang Yi saluted him, with a little excitement in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, after all, no one in the court knew Yi Chu's life in Yangzhou before.

Yi Chu only nodded, didn't say anything, just asked him to return to the table. Shen Yunlong knew that he had to hide his eyes, so he only winked playfully, and then followed the instructions of the palace people to his seat.

"The emperor has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! Princess Jinyang has arrived!" With a scream, the audience was silent, and everyone knelt down in unison to greet the emperor: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

I only saw a few figures walking in front of them, Yi Chu bent down slightly, and when a blue figure passed by, he smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms on the tip of his nose, and his thin lips were slightly raised, he knew that this was the fragrance of Ah Jin's body.

"Flat."

"Emperor Xie" Everyone got up and looked at the height cautiously, Zong Zhenghao was standing majestically in the middle in a dragon robe, the queen mother was standing on his left side indifferently in a dark phoenix robe, and the woman in blue ...... Everyone held their breath, all shocked, there was such a unique thing in this world. Sexy woman!

I saw that she was wearing a light blue plum pattern streamer dyed gold palace dress, a long hair curled into a noble princess bun, wearing a five-tailed phoenix crown, and a delicate peony golden hairpin obliquely inserted.

The men who were still peeking at Princess Jade were immediately stunned when they saw Princess Jinyang; The women who were still laughing at Princess Jinyang before must be a vulgar person really wanted to slap themselves twice at this time. Zong Zhengyu's face was full of jealousy, why did Jinyang steal her aura as soon as she returned to the palace, she was unwilling, she was not convinced! She's going to beat this damn girl!

"Today is a dust-washing banquet for my beloved daughter Jinyang, and all Aiqing don't need to be polite, eat, drink and have fun, I announce, the banquet begins!" Zong Zhenghao gave an order, the bell rang, and the atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.

Zong Zhenghao sat back on the dragon chair, and the old queen mother also sat in her seat, it is rare to have a banquet, she has not participated in these for a long time, and it is not bad to sit here today and take a look.

Zong Zhengjin slowly returned to her seat, and she didn't know if it was intentional, she actually sat next to Yunchen. The bottom of his heart was inexplicably nervous, but his face pretended to be casual, and he caught a glimpse of Yi Chu only concentrating on eating wine and food, as if he didn't see her beside him, and he was a little lost in his heart, but when he thought about it, this was a public place, and she, the princess who had just returned to the palace, really shouldn't have too much contact with the national teacher.

Just thinking about things, he suddenly felt that there was a shadow in front of him, and Zong Zhengjin looked up and saw that it was Zong Zhengjing.

"The younger brother salutes the imperial sister with a cup and welcomes the imperial sister back to the palace." With an elegant smile on his face, he held a glass of wine in his hand, looking very respectful, if he hadn't seen the cold light and disdain in his eyes, Zong Zhengjin would really have been deceived by him.

"Thank you, please take care of the royal brother in the future." Anyone can say polite words, Zong Zhengjin smiled and drank a glass of wine. Zong Zhengjing looked at her inquiringly for a few moments, and then returned to his seat.
