On this New Year's Eve, Lin Changqing watched Chen Xi fall asleep before leaving.

The next day, Chen Xi was dragged up by Dong Baozhen to dress up early because she was going to the palace to pay New Year's greetings today.

While walking on the road, Chen Xi was not very energetic. He got out of the carriage with sleepy eyes and saw many people waiting in front of the palace gate.

Chen Xi was glanced at by everyone's ambiguous looks and immediately cheered up.

She secretly thought, could it be that Lin Changqing went to see him so late yesterday and these people already knew about it?

Otherwise, why would you look at her like this?

She has entered the palace twice. When she met people at the palace gate before, they didn't look like this!

Chen Xi didn't dare to feel sleepy anymore, so he cheered up, and under the guidance of the palace maid and eunuch, he came to the Queen's Palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The Queen has been waiting for a long time today. Naturally, the concubines of the palaces were the first to arrive. The Queen's Kunning Palace was already busy.

As soon as Chen Xi came over, the Crown Princess immediately pulled her to sit next to the Queen.

"Master Huaishan County, come quickly, we are talking about you!"

Chen Xi blinked with confusion on his face.

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "It seems that you don't know yet. Prince Zhongyong Hou has sent invitations to all the offices in the capital this morning. The invitations say that you will get married on February [-]th. It seems that you were married last night." We discussed it all night!"

Chen Xi: "..."! ! ! She finally understood why the people outside the palace looked like that this morning, and her face couldn't help but blush.

She pretended to be calm and said: "Because the emperor granted us the marriage, Changqing and I didn't dare to delay it. He discussed the wedding date with me last night, but I didn't expect him to send the invitation this morning!"

Why be so anxious!

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, everyone in the hall had different reactions.

Some people laughed, but others looked disdainful.

Naturally, those who cheered were the queen and the princess, while those who looked disdainful were the concubines and the second prince and the princess.

At this time, a palace maid shouted in a low voice: "Mrs. Zhongyong Hou has arrived."

The second princess immediately said with a smile: "Come quickly, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou, you and your daughter-in-law are here, I thought you were going to come together. After all, you, the prince of the Hou family, couldn't wait to send invitations to all the houses in the capital early this morning. Woolen cloth!"

When she mentioned this matter, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou immediately stopped in her steps, and the embarrassment flashed across her face!

Since yesterday, she has been feeling unhappy in various ways.

She originally thought that Lin Changqing married a bald county boss and would not be of any help to him, so she secretly helped facilitate this matter.

Who would have thought that Chen Xi would become the county lord with a fiefdom in a blink of an eye. Now Zhongyong Hou was actually happy, changing his previous oppositional attitude, and she could only be "happy" too, but in fact, she was almost sick to death!

Moreover, Lin Changqing's behavior today has brought shame to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, as if they were rushing to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion!

However, after thinking about it, everyone knew that all this was done by Lin Changqing without regard for self-respect and he did not think it was the intention of the Zhongyong Houfu. Only then did Mrs. Chai raise her smile again and walk towards the second prince's concubine.

"Yesterday, I received the marriage grant from the emperor. Everyone in our Hou family is very happy. However, Changqing is a child who is impatient. This made him a joke early on the first day of the new year. However, he can bring a little laughter to everyone, so it is considered a mistake. Well done on the accidental collision!”

Chen Xi glanced at Chai.

This woman's stepmother did it

There is no loss of character at all, and any words he says will dig a hole for Lin Changqing.

Chen Xi has learned that Lin Changqing's reputation in the capital is not good. He has always been said to have a bad temper and is irritable.

You must know that Lin Changqing has left the capital since he was a child, but he has such a reputation in the capital. If you think about it, you will know who promoted him.

The past is past, and Chen Xi can't clear Lin Changqing's name, but she wants to let Mrs. Chai know that from today on, she can no longer fabricate stigma against Lin Changqing in any occasion where she is around!

"Mrs. Zhongyong Hou, the Crown Prince is not impatient in doing things. The Crown Princess has already mentioned this matter before you came. I have also explained to everyone that the wedding date was decided upon by us. As for the Crown Prince, he notified the capital early in the morning. Each government granted marriage because of the imperial edict. Changqing and I are very happy, and we also want everyone to feel our joy as soon as possible. No, everyone’s faces were smiling early in the morning, which shows that Changqing has done this. It’s just right!”

As soon as Chen Xi opened her mouth, everyone's eyes immediately turned to her and Mrs. Chai, as if they wanted to watch the excitement.

The hands in Chai's sleeves pinched her palms hard to keep herself from losing her composure!

She turned stiffly and looked at Chen Xi: "It seems that the identity of Huaishan County Lord has changed very quickly. This has already begun to protect our evergreen. I am very pleased."

Chen Xi raised his lips and smiled: "Oh, my lady saw through it!"

The Crown Princess looked on and covered her mouth and laughed.

She finally saw clearly that Mrs. Zhongyong Hou was no match for the Huaishan County Lord!

If it were before yesterday, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou might still be able to use her status to suppress the Huaishan County Lord, but since yesterday

Later, the county lord of Huaishan got a fief, and his status was completely different. Even Mrs. Zhongyong Hou and Mrs. Hou were not as noble as the county lord with a fief, so the identities between the two were instantly reversed.

No, it was only the first day, and the two were already facing each other.

As for the superiority, everyone present has already seen it clearly!

Despite this small interlude, the protagonists of today's palace banquet were not Chen Xi and the Chai family. After the crown prince and the second prince concubine exchanged moves with others, they had enough of the excitement, and then Chen Xi sat down quietly. Serve as a companion in your seat.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was just a New Year greeting, and there was no banquet. Chen Xi sat for a while and looked at it before saying goodbye and leaving, and then hurriedly left the palace.

When she left the palace, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because after entering the palace today, she only had to wait until the [-]th to enter the palace again to attend a palace banquet.

Chen Xi secretly thought, these princes and ministers in the capital are not easy either. Although it is an honor to be qualified to enter the palace, it is not easy to go there.

When she returned to the house, she would naturally do whatever she wanted, and she would also take time to design a new store.

Although all shops need to be renovated, hot pot restaurants and restaurants are slower to open, while steamed bun shops are much faster. They were originally expected to open on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

However, today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xi was not busy with business. He was just eating, drinking and dazing. He thought about what the Chen family in Qingshui County, Changzhou were doing at this time. In addition, Lin Changqing said that he wanted to send a message back. When could they receive it? Where's the letter?

And when can she finish her business in the capital and return to Qingshui County?

She also needs to plan her fiefdom carefully!

A day passed before she knew it, and on this day, Lin Changqing didn't come to her, which made Chen Xi frown a little.

Should not be!

With his enthusiasm for posting messages to various governments early in the morning, he should have come to see her long ago. Why didn't he come all day?

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask Dong Baoshan to inquire. Dong Baoshan went out immediately and came back soon.

"Master, the general left the city this morning on the emperor's order!"
