At the banquet, the Queen Mother was not in high spirits, and there was no smile on her face. Today, the queen originally came in a happy dress, ready to put on the majesty of the royal mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, she was splashed with cold water by Chen Yuantai as soon as she came up, and she also kept a cold face and stopped talking.

Chen Yuantai was very angry, he wanted to attack the queen, but the prince was on the side, and he didn't want to make too much trouble when Chen Xi was newly married. So he temporarily suppressed his anger and prepared for Chen Xi to go to Kunning Palace to "teach" the queen after he left.

This banquet allowed Du Mingxin to meet Chen Zhao, the king of Yu who had been known for a long time. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and a typical Northwesterner. The appearance follows Chen Yuantai, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the skin is very fair, about like Concubine De.

People with such appearances, like Chen Yuantai and Xu Xing, are easily reminiscent of heroes and heroes with extraordinary bearing and heroic spirit. However, as soon as King Yu spoke, the illusion was shattered.

He spoke only and did things very slowly, and he even looked up at his father first if he wanted to follow Chen Ting over to toast Chen Xi. The determination and freedom that young people often have, but they have not seen it in him at all.

King Yu's attitude towards the crown prince also makes people feel very awkward. Although when it comes to monarchs and ministers, the crown prince is the prince, he is a courtier, and it is also appropriate to be respectful. However, in terms of intimacy, he is the eldest brother of the crown prince, although he does not have to set an example in front of his younger brother like an ordinary brother, but at least he should be neither humble nor arrogant......

Du Mingxin observed King Yu for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt panicked. How can such a person be worthy of the smart and beautiful Xu Yuan? Sure enough, meritorious deeds and wealth are both ladders and shackles, trapping such a proud woman of the sky.

Out of the palace gate, Chen Xi was a little dizzy under the pretext of drinking, and took a carriage home with Du Mingxin.

He saw that Du Mingxin's expression was a little unhappy, and thought that it was the attitude of the Queen Mother and the Queen that hurt her, so he said apologetically: "I should have told you earlier, so that you could have prepared in your heart...... The Queen Mother doesn't like me very much, but she doesn't like anything related to me. Today you will be implicated, and you will be blinded......"

He grabbed Du Mingxin's shoulders, gently held her in his arms, and muttered, "I'm sorry......"

"Do you know why the Queen Mother is so displeased with you?" Du Mingxin leaned on his shoulder, sniffing the faint aroma of wine on his body, and his depressed mood was slightly better.

"I don't know," Chen Xi sighed, "but it's because my father thinks so highly of me." The two people on the tip of the Queen Mother's heart, one is Chen Ting and the other is Chen Zhao, both of them grew up beside her, and she personally watched them grow up. Even Princess Anping still has to rely on the outside, not to mention that I am an outsider with unrelated blood......"

This is also human nature, although helpless, but what can Chen Xi do?

Du Mingxin pulled his broad palm, rubbed the thin cocoon that had been cultivated in martial arts, and asked softly, "Are you about to lead the troops to the battle?" ”

Chen Xi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Yes...... About a month or two later. ”

He felt that the little hand in his hand suddenly tightened, so he hugged Du Mingxin into his arms, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, my father sent Dingguo Gong to accompany me, and nothing went wrong." If so, it's really bad, can't my kung fu protect itself? It's a big deal that these riches in front of you don't want to, let's go back to Songshan to live the days under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, isn't it good? ”

Du Mingxin scratched the tip of his nose, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's so easy to say, I'm afraid you are really reluctant in your heart!" ”

"How so!" Chen Xi saw her smile, his heart was a little relieved, and he also smiled, "In this life, I only need you, as long as you are by my side, no matter the deep mountains and old forests, or overseas immortal mountains, they are like Western bliss!" ”

Du Mingxin sat on his lap, the whole person shrunk in his arms, holding his neck with one hand and fiddling with the robe belt on his body with the other. "Do you know what kind of person King Yu is?"

Chen Xi hugged her and felt light, and was thinking of going back and instructing the kitchen to make up for her, but when she asked like this, she replied casually: "King Yu's biological mother is humble, although she is favored by the queen mother, but she is no match for the Deng family, which is rich in the world behind the prince." However, he doesn't seem to have any ambitions, and his heart is also very good, so he is about the life of a rich and idle king! ”

"The emperor wants Xu Yuan to marry him...... Du Ming said sadly, "But when I see him today, I always feel that he is not worthy of Sister Xu." ”

"You don't have to let the Queen Mother know this," Chen Xi said with a smile, "Her old man is a person who protects her shortcomings." ”

The two talked all the way back to the palace, because they slept late last night and got up too early today, Du Mingxin fell asleep on the bed when he went back.

Chen Xi twisted her face, changed her clothes, and then went to the study.

After half an hour, Mama Cui shouted and pulled Du Mingxin: "...... It's a shame that there are no elders in the family to live with, otherwise you will have a reputation for being lazy when you just get married! ”

Du Mingxin yawned, and then said with a smile: "Mama, you are clearly putting the cart before the horse!" If there were elders in the family, I wouldn't be like this......"

"Stop talking, get up!" Mama Cui handed over a bowl of tea to her to wake up, and urged, "The bride has the most things, and there is no one to preside over the feed before the huge palace, and there are thousands of things waiting for you to sort out!" ”

"The dowry you brought with you also has to find a treasury and pack it up in different categories. Take out everything that can be used and use it, it's all good things, don't let it go bad. ”

"And if you go back to the door with the prince tomorrow, if you want to bring something back, you have to prepare in advance today, so as not to be in a hurry when you go out tomorrow!"

Du Mingxin listened to it with a big head, put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Mama, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time!" Let's go pick up the gifts for the door first, the dowry, I asked Xia Ye to watch the people clean up. As for the affairs of the palace, there are stewards for all errands, so you wait for me to make a list and straighten out the important things, and as soon as I return from my mother's house tomorrow, I will begin to call the steward to come and ask questions. Do you think this arrangement is quite appropriate? ”

When Mama Cui heard her say the truth, she smiled and said, "If you have a score in your heart, I won't be in a hurry." But you have to be careful about these things! Otherwise, in a few days, it will be rumored that you will not be the director of the house, not to mention that your own face is gloomy, even the grandfather of the country is not good-looking in front of people! ”

"Got it!" Du Mingxin smiled helplessly, "I know it all in my heart!" ”

"What do you count?" Chen Xi's voice came in from outside.
