In order to celebrate the victory of the Northwest Army, the Imperial Palace is about to hold a grand palace banquet to reward those meritorious Northwest soldiers.

The Queen Mother said that the merits of the Northwest soldiers are inseparable from the support of their families, so she specially issued a decree to allow the Northwest soldiers in Beijing to bring their families to the palace for a banquet.

The Queen Mother sent someone to the Bai family early to tell the Bai family to go.

even deliberately pointed out that Qiu Niang also went with the Bai family.

Zhen specially gave the Queen Mother, and also brought Bai Zhaomei's fiancée Cuicui over, and the Queen Mother agreed.

The Bai family is a little annoyed these days, because after Bai Zhaomei came back from the northwest, the major families in Beijing moved the idea of marrying Bai Zhaomei.

The Bai family said that Bai Zhaomei had already made a marriage, but there were still people with iron heads, vaguely saying that the Bai family could withdraw from the marriage, and more people thought that Bai Zhaomei's marriage was an excuse, aiming to carefully select the family of the alliance.

The angry old lady Bai leaned against the door frame and scolded.

In order to announce the fact that the fifth child of the Bai family has been married, the Bai family plans to take Cuicui to appear at the palace banquet.

In addition to Cuicui and Qiu Niang, the two supernumeraries of the Bai family, Village Chief Zhao also obtained a place to enter the palace.

The excited village chief Zhao didn't close his eyes all night.

In addition to rewarding the soldiers of the Northwest, this palace banquet also had the function of welcoming the envoys of the Rong State.

Xiao Fuyuan heard from the fourth brother that the envoys of the Rong State arrived in the capital the day after the Northwest Army entered the city to offer prisoners, and now they live in the post station. The emperor deliberately chose to welcome the northwest soldiers into the palace on the day of rewarding them, which was also to kill their spirit, so that the consciousness that the defeated country had no right to speak in diplomacy was implanted in his mind.

Xiao Fuyuan thought to himself, the emperor's cousin played with a very black belly.

But it's understandable.

If the Xia State is defeated, I am afraid that the Rong State will not only despise the Xia State so much at this time, but will ask the Xia State to cede land and pay compensation, and even the soldiers who have been devastated all the way to the capital.

Now the Xia State is willing to accept peace talks for the defeated Rong State.

Xia Guo is already very merciful!

Bai Panmei, as the delegation of the Xia State peace talks, is very busy these days, and often can't see his figure.

Xiao Fuyuan finally caught the fourth brother on the first night of the palace banquet and told Bai Panmei the news about Qiu Niang's mother brought by You Qingya.

Bai Panmei found Qiu Niang and told Qiu Niang that the Rongguo mission had brought Helian Liang's eight-year-old son.

……

Although no one in the Zhenguo Mansion was in the Northwest Army, as the mother of the Queen Mother, she still received an invitation to the palace banquet.

In fact, not only the Zhenguo Mansion, but also many families in the capital have received invitations.

After the old lady received the notice to go to the banquet, she dressed up Chen Xuan'er.

「…… Xuan'er, if you perform at the banquet tonight, you have to fight for your mother."

Aunt Chen's mother and daughter also received an invitation to participate in the palace banquet.

The Queen Mother mentioned euphemistically in private, and at the palace banquet, she hoped that Chen Xuan'er would find a young talent in the Northwest Army, and she would give Chen Xuan'er a good family affair with her.

Aunt Chen didn't dare to attack in front of the queen, and when she came back, she was angry and asked the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion to arrange it.

She didn't expect the Queen Mother to marry Chen Xuan'er to the Northwest Army, didn't she push Chen Xuan'er into the fire pit? They easily came to the capital from the ghost place in the countryside of Nanguan Town, but the Queen Mother didn't care about the suffering she suffered at all, and wanted to send her daughter to the northwest.

In Aunt Chen's imagination, going to the northwest with the army was comparable to criminal exile.

If the Queen Mother really wanted to plan for Chen Xuan'er, she had already planned it when they entered Beijing, and she had to wait until this time.

The queen mother was so partial, she gave Bai Panmei a princess, and Xiao Fuyuan was crowned the county lord, not only did she not reward her daughter, but she didn't even give her a good family affair.

Originally, Aunt Chen still felt a little guilty that Chen Xuan'er would slap the Queen Mother's face when she entered the palace, and the Queen Mother wanted to give Chen Xuan'er to marry the Northwest Army to eliminate the only guilt left in her heart.

She can't wait for Chen Xuan'er to enter the palace immediately!

In addition to hating the Queen Mother, Aunt Chen also hates Zhen.

She felt that the Queen Mother's idea of giving marriage was all encouraged by the Bai family, after all, the Zhen family and Mrs. Bai

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ran more often than anyone else in the Queen Mother's palace.

In addition, she had to promise Chen Xuan'er to Bai Panmei and the Bai family to have a holiday, and at this time, Bai Panmei and the princess had a marriage contract, and the Bai family must have wanted Chen Xuan'er to disappear from the capital in order to hold the princess.

The more the Bai family is like this, the more Aunt Chen will not let them succeed.

"Mother, what do you think the Queen Mother thinks, she wants to give me to the ordinary soldiers of the Northwest Army."

Chen Xuan'er was not angry when she learned that the Queen Mother was going to give her a marriage, if she was given to a heroic general or a champion like Bai Panmei, she might have canceled her plan to enter the palace and be a lady for these people.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to promise her to a grassroots officer like a centurion and a thousand-year-old.

Not only that, but she also wants to accompany the army.

She's so angry!

The most sacrificed in the war are ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers, does the Queen Mother want her family to be a widow at the beginning?

Why didn't the Queen Mother say that she would be promised to a young general like the fifth child of the Bai family?

It can be seen that the Queen Mother deliberately responded to her.

Since this is the case, she has nothing to say, so she listened to the old lady's words wholeheartedly, performed well at the palace banquet, and hugged the emperor with a bang.

"With the old lady here, it is impossible for you to go to the northwest where there is sand." Aunt Chen said.

"Sister, you listen to your mother, fight for a breath at night."

Chen Jing'er opened the curtain and came in, touched the luxurious clothes sent by the old lady, and said to Chen Xuan'er, "The success or failure of our family depends on tonight."

Chen Jing'er was in a rather depressed mood.

I don't know why I'm so unlucky

, Since the last time Chen Xuan'er danced in front of the noble ladies of the family, the Beijing family avoided their mother and daughter, and she wanted to convince those noble ladies to ignore her.

The Queen Mother wants to give Chen Xuan'er a marriage to the Northwest Army, although she is angry, she also has relatives.

Knowing that the two sisters couldn't find a better family in the capital family.

Chen Xuan'er is like this, and she is even more so.

Therefore, if the Chen family wants to turn the tables, Chen Xuan'er entering the palace is the fastest shortcut.

The faces of those noblewomen who look down on their mothers and daughters now, if Chen Xuan'er is favored in the palace, they must be the same faces.

What's even more infuriating is that in addition to the obstruction of the sisters' family affairs, Zhen Ruocheng gave her a good shop and good land, it turned out that someone else deceived Zhen Ruocheng, but the silver lost was hers.

Although Zhen Ruocheng wanted to make up for her, in order to show her generosity and understanding in front of Zhen Ruocheng, she confiscated it.

"Jing'er, are you from the old lady?" Aunt Chen asked.

A thin layer of blush appeared on Chen Jing'er's face, and she turned sideways and said vaguely, "It's from the old lady."

In fact, Chen Jing'er came out of Tong's house, of course, she didn't see Tong in Tong's house, but she met Zhen Ruocheng and said a few words to Ruocheng's cousin.

Before the matter was completed, she did not plan to let Aunt Chen know her plans.

If she didn't say anything, Aunt Chen pretended to be deaf and dumb.
