Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chen Xi followed the palace maid into the inner hall, and then waited at the door to be summoned.

Even though she may look like a county lord outside, but in the palace, the county lords are all appointed by others, and no one will take her seriously.

Soon, Lotus came out again: "County Lord, please come in. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are free now."

Chen Xi quickly nodded in greeting again and followed into the hall.

As soon as he entered, Chen Xi felt warm all over, exhaled softly, and followed silently into the inner room.

The emperor was wearing a royal blue uniform today, and the queen was also wearing light blue. Both of them looked well-kept. They were obviously in their 40s, but they looked like they were in their 30s.

Chen Xi only glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head, walked to his position, knelt down and saluted.

"My daughter, Chen Xi, pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Pays homage to the queen. May the queen live a thousand years!"

Above, the emperor and the queen looked at Chen Xi's kneeling ceremony, which was very standard, and his voice was different from the loud and clear voice of a noble lady in the capital. They couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The queen said: "Master Huaishan, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Queen."

After Chen Xi got up, he stood there with his head half bowed. In the palace, there are requirements for standing posture. When standing, you must let the superior see your face clearly, but you must not raise your eyes to look at the superior's face.

"Give a seat."

Chen Xi thanked him again, and then waited for the chair to be brought up, and she sat on the side.

"Where did Lord Huaishan arrive in the capital yesterday?"

"Go back to the Empress, yes."

"Haha, you don't have to be too formal."

Chen Xi couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly. When he saw the emperor and the queen, they both looked at him with smiles.

When she did, she looked relieved and smiled brightly at the two of them.

The queen only has one legitimate son, the current prince. She has always wanted a princess but has never had one. When she saw Chen Xi's bright smile, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

"Have I heard about you?"

"It's already been my 17th birthday, and it will be my [-]th birthday again."

"What's going on between you and Changqing?"

Chen Xi secretly said that the Queen was very direct when asking questions.

But also, as a queen, talking to her is equivalent to charity, there is no need to beat around the bush with her.

"Back to the empress, my daughter and General Lin are in love, but my daughter knows that there is a huge gap in our status, so she has been working hard to narrow the gap."

"Now you are the county chief."

Chen Xi shook his head: "I am extremely grateful to the Emperor and the Empress for making me the county head. It is like a dream, but I know that compared with General Lin, even if I am the county head, it is not enough."

Chen Xi's words made the emperor and empress nod secretly.

The emperor finally spoke: "What's not enough?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Chen Xi cheered up and answered seriously: "Back to the emperor, although I have the title of County Lord, it is empty. I have not done anything for the country and the people, but General Lin has made great military achievements. He is a strong general under the emperor who protects his family and country, so I am not as good as General Lin."

"Hahaha, you are a woman and you still want to compare yourself to a man?"

Chen Xi lowered his head: "Of course I dare not compare myself with General Lin, but in intermarriage, men and women must be well-matched. The gap between me and General Lin is too big, so we are not a good match."

The emperor won't say

After saying that, the queen continued to ask: "Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Xi smiled: "But do good deeds and don't ask about your future!"

"Just do good things and don't ask about your future! It seems you still know what you have done!"

"These are the instructions given by General Lin to my daughter."

"It seems like your relationship is really good. Keep up the good work!"

Chen Xi immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick: "I obey the orders of the Emperor and the Queen!"

This sentence made the queen laugh: "Look, Your Majesty, this girl is still relying on us!"

Chen Xi shook his head quickly: "I don't dare." But the smile on his face didn't look like he didn't dare.

Then the emperor and the queen smiled at each other and picked up the tea cups.

Chen Xi immediately stood up and saluted, and when the palace maid took her out, she was completely relieved.

This summons is finally over!

Chen Xi didn't know whether his performance was satisfactory, although looking at the smile of the emperor and queen, it seemed that he was quite satisfied with her.

Moreover, Chen Xi was sensitive to the fact that the emperor did not seem to object to her relationship with Lin Changqing, which gave her great confidence.

When Chen Xi came out of the palace, she was no longer alone, but followed by several eunuchs, holding rewards from the emperor and queen in their hands. Chen Xi felt completely relaxed now.

At the gate of the palace, the Dong brothers and sisters had been waiting. When Chen Xi came out, they immediately stepped forward to greet him. Dong Baoshan quickly took out red envelopes and gave them to several young eunuchs who were responsible for collecting rewards.

"Go, let's go back and talk."

Everyone didn't say much and drove away immediately.

At the gate of the palace, there were people observing the newly arrived county lord. When they saw that he had received many rewards after entering the palace, everyone knew that this civilian county lord was very popular with the emperor.

Drag the blessing of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, now in the capital

Many people know about the relationship between Lin Changqing and the new county head. Everyone thinks that the reason why she got this county head is that the emperor and queen deliberately gave Chen Xi's identity before the marriage in order to support Lin Changqing and Chen Xi's marriage.

In fact, the Zhongyonghou Mansion would not disagree with this marriage at all, because it would only be more beneficial for Mrs. Zhongyonghou's biological children if Lin Changqing married a smooth-looking civilian county owner.

But that doesn't stop her from trying to embarrass Chen Xi!

Chen Xi returned to the house. Before he could enter the house, he saw someone's carriage blocking the door.

Dong Baozhen immediately told Chen Xi: "The carriage from the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion!"

Just by looking at this, you can tell that the other party is not a good person. Otherwise, who would be a good person who would just use a big carriage to block the door of someone else's house?

Seeing Chen Xi's carriage approaching, the Marquis's carriage did not take notice and left. Instead, a person got out of the carriage.

"May I ask if the Lord of Huaishan County is here?"

Dong Baozhen stuck his head out: "Who are you?"

"I am the steward of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. We, Mrs. Hou, would like to ask the county chief to ask questions."

Chen Xi said directly: "I just came back from the palace. I'm tired today. Go back and tell Mrs. Hou that I will visit you another day."

The steward of the Hou Mansion never expected that Chen Xi would directly refuse!

While he was in a daze, Dong Baozhen frowned and scolded: "If you didn't hear what our county master said, why don't you get out of the way!"

Dong Baoshan was already close to the Marquis's carriage at this time, and he was ready to take action if the other party didn't push him away.

The steward of the Hou Mansion was a bully and fearful of force. Although he felt that the county lord was not as tough as the Hou Mansion, at this time, the county lord's servants were tougher than him, the steward of the Hou Mansion, so he could only retreat temporarily.

After waiting for the carriage of the Marquis Mansion to retreat, Chen Xi met

Without showing up, he entered the county lord's mansion in a carriage and closed the door!

Soon, word spread throughout the capital that the county lord had shut out people from the Hou Mansion.

In the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Madam Chai threw a cup.

"A merchant girl, how dare she ignore me!"
