After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing looked at Xiao Mochen and was not polite, and reprimanded: "This girl is already lawless. How can you control her in the future if you continue to pamper her like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mochen smiled and said: "Aunt, Xiao Qi is actually very well-behaved. It's rare that she likes something. I think it's better not to restrain her."

Of course, while saying this, Xiao Mochen was also feeling sorry for the orphaned books collected from various places in his study, as well as the set of Nine Dragon Glazed Glass Cups newly awarded by his father.

But there is no point in pursuing it after it has been beaten to pieces.

And he didn't dare to tell his aunt, otherwise Li Xiangyang would be beaten again.

Although he was sometimes annoyed by the little girl, but seeing her quirky appearance, Xiao Mochen couldn't help but pamper her.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was no longer angry, Li Xiangyang twisted his body and got out of Yan Qingqing's arms and said: "I went to play with my eldest niece and nephew. I also brought them many toys back. Mother, you and me Brother Mo Chen, please speak."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.

If you agree with me, please quickly tell the little maid outside to follow you, and be sure not to bump into each other.

After Li Xiangyang left, Yan Qingqing said: "I heard that the emperor has sealed it, so you don't need to go to the morning court anymore."

Xiao Mochen nodded and replied: "This year is generally good, and we have high-yielding crops, so both the tax revenue from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the grain and grass at the border are quite sufficient.

My father had nothing to worry about and wanted everyone to have a good New Year, so he sealed it in advance. "

In fact, this seal is similar to an annual leave. During the seal period, neither the emperor nor the officials have to work unless there is something urgent.

Yan Qingqing clicked her tongue twice in her heart after hearing this. In fact, the welfare of Da Yan Dynasty is quite good. Although there is no year-end bonus, there are many vacation days.

The emperor's seal will not be opened until at least the eighth day of the first lunar month. Of course, if there is no big event, it can also wait until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Xiao Mochen paused and then said: "Father said that there is nothing going on in the court this year, and he wants to have fun with all the officials, so I am afraid that my aunt will spend New Year's Eve in the palace this year."

Although officials of the Great Yan Dynasty were on annual leave, New Year's Eve was also a time to reunite with their families.

But if the emperor is happy, he will also hold a big banquet in the palace and invite all the officials to join in the fun.

Yan Qingqing is now the second-rank wife, and she will definitely attend the emperor's banquet.

In fact, from Yan Qingqing's heart, she was unwilling to go, because going there was just to enjoy some singing and dancing performances, and to flatter the emperor's wisdom and prowess.

You can't just let go of eating and drinking, but you also have to guard against being framed by the villain.

The last time she went to the palace and was assassinated, it left a big shadow on Yan Qingqing, which made her feel a little afraid of society now.

But the emperor is her boss now, and if the boss really wants to hold a dinner party, she has to go.

Sure enough, the imperial edict came from the palace the next day. On New Year's Eve, the emperor will have fun with all the officials. Officials of third rank or above and their families will enter the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yan Qingqing said that he would attend on time.

Yan Qingqing, the young eunuch who sent away the palace messenger, turned around and saw the worried faces of the young ones at home.

Yan Qingqing asked with some confusion: "What is your expression?

I just went to the palace to have a meal, not to go to the guillotine.

You are all at home, so you can have a lively and happy New Year. "

Yuan Huiniang said with a slumped face: "Mom, don't hide it. I heard from that girl Ruyi that you were assassinated by a young eunuch the last time you came to the palace to express gratitude.

There must be someone in the palace who doesn't like you.

I'm afraid they will target you during this palace banquet.

How about you pretend to be sick and not go? "

In Yuan Huiniang's view, the palace is not Canghe Town, nor their territory. If someone wants to harm Yan Qingqing, they have no way to stop them. The best way is to avoid them.

Yan Qingqing glared at Ruyi when she heard this. She repeatedly warned her not to tell her family. This girl was really a big talker.

If Yan Qingqing shrinks her head when she stares at him, she accidentally said it while chatting with the young lady. Who knew that the whole family knew about it.

Yan Qingqing smiled nonchalantly and said: "Yes, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid that thieves will miss me.

Some things cannot be solved by just staying at home.

Besides, why did we come to the capital? It’s not just to express gratitude.

If we don’t even have the courage to do this, we’d better return to Canghe Town early.

But that's not our family's style. "

She, Yan Qingqing, was not scared. I'm afraid they didn't have the ability to kill her.

Besides, they had already alerted the enemy last time, so why would Yan Qingqing give them a second chance?

The other children of the Li family didn't want Yan Qingqing to go, but they knew they couldn't stop Yan Qingqing.

Li Xiangan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, let Mu Xi accompany you. She has good martial arts and is not afraid of any situation she encounters."

Yuan Huiniang and others' eyes lit up when they heard this. Mu Xi was the daughter-in-law of their family who had never been a serious daughter. She accompanied Yan Qingqing and others could not say anything.

Moreover, Mu Xi looked at Yan Qingqing with earnestness. She regretted why she did not accompany Yan Qingqing into the palace after she heard that his wife was almost assassinated in the palace last time.

If she accompanied Yan Qingqing into the palace, she would definitely take the eunuch's life.

Seeing that these children were facing a formidable enemy, Yan Qingqing said helplessly: "Okay, okay, since you are worried, let Mu Xi follow us.

But Mu Xi might have to be wronged by pretending to be a girl. "

After all, Mu Xi has never been to the family, and Li Xiangan is not an official, so there will definitely not be room for Mu Xi at the palace banquet.

Mu Xi didn't care. Her duty itself was to protect Yan Qingqing, so what difference did it make if she was a guard or a maid.

New Year's Eve soon arrived, and Yan Qingqing resigned to her fate and asked two girls, Ruyi and Ruxue, to give her instructions.

Wearing a purple pleated skirt with flowers and a small cape with a stand-up collar. It looks both majestic and agile.

What's even more outrageous is that these two girls think every headdress looks good-looking and want to put all the good-looking headdresses on Yan Qingqing's head.

Seeing that the two of them didn't know which one to choose, Yan Qingqing casually picked up a jade swallow hairpin with beads and inserted it into her head and said, "Okay, let's just get this one.

If you two linger for a while longer, the palace banquet may be over. "

The two gave up after hearing this.

Ada had set up the car outside, and Mu Xi was already waiting for Yan Qingqing.

After Yan Qingqing got on the carriage, Mu Xi followed closely.

Yan Qingqing looked at Mu Xi dressed like a little maid and smiled. She looked quite similar, but she was just too pretty.

Soon Ada drove the carriage to the gate of the palace. Yan Qingqing got off the car and was a little shocked. There were so many carriages at the gate of the palace. There was a long queue just for them. They were all coming to the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve. Banquet.

Calculating this, there are quite a lot of officials above the third rank in the capital.

After Yan Qingqing got off the carriage, she resigned herself to waiting in line, waiting for the palace maids and eunuchs to enter the palace after searching her body.

Just when Yan Qingqing was lining up, she suddenly heard a hearty voice saying: "It turns out that my sister has already arrived. I was just wondering when you could come."

Yan Qingqing looked up and saw that he was an acquaintance, and then he smiled.
