What about the stepmother dressed as three villains?

In order to appear intimate, there are not many people, and a large round table is used.

The family had a lively meal.

On the tabletop, Jiang Lianzhu has improved it, it can be rotated like modern times, the public cuisine is on the rotating table in the middle, and the one you like is on the table that you can't rotate.

Dabao said the words of blessing, respected the ancestors and ancestors first, and the first emperor, and everyone stood up to toast, and the ceremony was completed.

Then it's time for the banquet.

"Everyone, don't be rigid. Today, we are all a family. We have worked hard for a year. We have a reunion dinner, and we can speak freely without being rigid." Dabao didn't talk much, and took the lead to pick up the dishes with chopsticks.

Except for Liao Jiu, they were all women, children and children who didn't know how to drink, so Erya was given fruit wine. They said it was wine, but it was actually a sweet and sour drink, and children could drink it too.

Mrs. Zhou is the only elder, so warming up the scene is still feasible.

After the reunion, Mrs. Zhou's eyebrows are much kinder and kinder, and she is not as arrogant as before. However, her arrogant attitude is also aimed at outsiders, and she has never put much airs on her own family.

Besides, no one in this room has a lower status than her, and she can't put on airs.

"Come, come, let's eat. Another year has passed, and the new year is coming. The days go by very quickly. Next year, everyone will be prosperous and make progress." Mrs. Zhou toasted everyone .

Everyone raised their glasses together and took a sip of fruit wine.

Er Bao and Nan Bao are the most informal, and they are eating happily.

I shook my head and my mouth was full of oil.

The atmosphere relaxed, and the second princess took the initiative to talk to Jiang Lianzhu.

"Princess, I have only returned to Beijing in the past few days, and I haven't had time to report to you the situation on the border of Aquarius Kingdom..."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "Tell me."

The second princess has been staying in the border city since the last time she went out with the army. Seeing that it was almost the Chinese New Year, she returned to the capital.

"Those cities in the Aquarius Kingdom are now well developed, and the people of the Aquarius Kingdom have also changed their minds and become the citizens of our Da'an Kingdom. Some are unwilling, and we will let you They have moved away, and the rest are people who want to live a good life, and refugees from several small countries have come to seek refuge, and the situation is very good."

"We have also implemented Da'an's policy of benefiting the people in these outer cities. We have opened schools, halved taxes, and provided subsidies for doing business. We have set up the Hall of Escalation of Injustice to clear up the grievances of the people, and strictly focus on public security issues. Improve people's sense of security and trust in Da'an..."

The second princess reported while Jiang Lianzhu nodded.

"Good job! Are there any spies from the Aquarius Kingdom here to play tricks, so as to stir up people's emotions?"

The second princess said, "Of course, there have been several incidents, and Zhou Yuan has seen through them. In fact, most of the good strategies were proposed by Zhou Yuan. The Zhou family is worthy of being a family of prime ministers, and their opinions are indeed extraordinary. few……"

Jiang Lianzhu smiled.

Everyone looked at the second princess.

Dabao said, "Thank you, Second Sister!"

The second princess quickly stood up and said, "It's what a minister should do. It's not hard work. It's a honor for a minister to serve the country! A minister should also thank the emperor and the princess for their trust."

Jiang Lianzhu waved her hand and asked the second princess to sit down.

"As a family, you don't need to be too polite. Sit down and say, what you have done on the border of the Aquarius Kingdom is very good. The court has received your memorials. The emperor discussed with me a few days ago, and I will give you these generals There are rewards, rewards and punishments are clear, no matter what, regardless of your status, if you do a good job, then you have to be commended, and let people see how you, the second princess, win glory for the country and think about the people."

The second princess blushed with excitement.

"Thank you, Emperor, thank you Princess."

She sat back, her hands trembling a little.

She proved herself!

Before, she was murdered as a member of Baihualou and imprisoned. Her former fake imperial brother accused her of coveting the throne, saying that she had unreasonable thoughts...

She is not convinced!She is not that kind of person!

As a princess, she knows that she is not destined for the throne. She just wants to do something for the people. As a princess, she enjoys the love of the people. She thinks that their Daan country will be better and the people will be happier.

At the same time, let people see that daughters are not necessarily inferior to men.

Women can do great things too!

Now, she did it...

Even if it is not enough in the eyes of others, compared with Princess Fu'an, she is far inferior, but now she has finally walked out of the deep palace, out of the capital, and started to do practical things step by step.

It is also progress.

Suddenly, Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Has Zhou Yuan returned for the Chinese New Year?"

The second princess blushed even more inexplicably, "I'm back."

"Come back with you?"

The second princess lowered her eyes, "Yes, we came back together, and everything over there has been properly arranged."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded and didn't say anything else.

Everyone continued to eat, and Mrs. Zhou said, "Lianzhu, last year your father was having a family reunion dinner together, but this year he will be missing. When will he come back? Without him, the Chinese New Year dinner will not be lively."

When it comes to the King of War, everyone pricks up their ears.

Jiang Lianzhu said with a smile, "My father has his own business and hasn't come back yet. However, he has a good life outside. After all, he has reached the ninth level of martial arts, so he won't suffer outside."

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's natural. The King of War is majestic, upright, and strong in martial arts. He won't suffer anywhere! The King of War is not here, and your righteous brothers are not in the capital. Otherwise, you can also invite Let's have a reunion banquet or something together, it will be more lively."

"Me too. It's a pity that my brothers are not in the capital."

The eldest princess has been silent by the side.

Others were chatting and laughing, but she didn't say a word, her face was also calm, and she didn't seem to have any appetite for eating.

In the past, his eyes still stayed on Liao Jiu, so he would take a few more glances.

I haven't looked at it today, and I have no interest in it.

Mrs. Zhou took care of her emotions and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a chopsticks of food for her.

"Eldest princess, how is your health recently? You look good, why don't you have a bad appetite?"

The eldest princess bowed, "Thank you Madam for your concern. I ate some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before I came here. I was under pressure, so I couldn't eat much. My health is very good."

Jiang Lianzhu was peeling the shrimp for Nanbao, her hands were covered with juice.

She glanced at the eldest princess, "But what do you want to say? We are all a family, so if you have anything to say, just talk about it, and while everyone is together, I will add it up for you..."

The eldest princess has always been a person who can't hide things, not the kind of scheming person who can hide her emotions.

The expression on her face showed that she was preoccupied and hesitated to speak.

The eldest princess bit her lips, "I want to go to a Taoist temple outside the city to lead a spiritual practice after the Chinese New Year. If I live in the house all day, I will think wildly. I want to go to a Taoist temple to practice, to pray for my father, to cultivate my heart and mind, and to look after my brother." approve."
