Shen Chen originally thought about starting to manage politics, but found that New Year's Eve was just around the corner, and there was nothing for him to worry about in government affairs, and the only thing that he had to worry about recently, the New Year's Eve banquet, was hosted by the noble concubine just like in previous years. The Empress Dowager checked and made preparations, so she continued to rest and wait for the New Year.

On the day of the New Year's Eve banquet, Shen Chen ordered someone to bring a new set of dress to Ling Xiche. It was a red dress that was darker than orange red and slightly lighter than true red. The dress was also embroidered with patterns that resembled phoenixes with gold thread.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Compared with Ling Xiche, who had an indifferent expression, Chun'er looked very excited, "My lord, this dress is so beautiful! Will this servant put it on for you now?"

"Put it away, don't wear this suit."

Shen Chen, who had just entered the door, happened to hear him say not to wear it, and asked, "Why? Don't you like it?"

Ling Xiche glanced at him angrily, "It's red? Phoenix pattern? This is the size that only queens can wear? What are you trying to do?"

"This is not true red, and the beautiful pattern is not a phoenix, but a peacock." After finishing speaking, Shen Chen said to Chun'er, "Help him change his clothes."

"Yes."

Chun'er wanted to take off the coat Ling Xiche was wearing, but Ling Xiche refused.

"Shen Chen, are you trying to kill me? Are you going to explain my clothes to everyone at the New Year's Eve banquet?"

Shen Chen waved Chun'er to step back, and walked over to put his arms around Ling Xiche's shoulders.

"I want to take this opportunity to announce that I want to make you queen. Of course, the Xu family, including my mother, will definitely object. I just want to take this opportunity to take out that ledger and completely end the dominance of the Xu family. situation."

"No! Absolutely not!" Ling Xiche patted Shen Chen's hand on his shoulder.

It was clearly agreed before that how to use the account book must be discussed with himself, but Shen Chen obviously decided how to use it without discussing with himself.

Then he said excitedly, "Do you want to punish Mrs. Xu at the New Year's Eve banquet? Are you crazy!"

"why not?"

Ling Xiche was really annoyed by him, "You have been to Yedi yourself, and you have heard the people scolding you, right? Conquering the world is only the first step, have you managed it well? The Xu family has indeed collected some more money. Uncle Xu Guo also relied on being a veteran and your own uncle, so he was a little arrogant to you, but none of these can shake the reality that Xu is the pillar of your Duan country. If you really want to do this, you Do you know who the happiest person will be after a while? Let me tell you, it won't be yours, it will be Yu Chirui!"

This was the first time Shen Chen saw Ling Xiche's loud and aggressive voice, and suddenly he was a little afraid to continue talking, so he shut up obediently and wanted to hear him continue.

Ling Xiche glared at him, "Why don't you speak? You speak!"

Shen Chen asked cautiously, "Is this decision really that bad?"

Ling Xiche saw that he didn't seem to know where he was wrong, so he said loudly again, "You are the emperor, if you want to go your own way, I can't stop you, but if you do this today, you will come out later. Don't ask me any questions, I can't help you!"

Shen Chen said cautiously again, "Don't be angry, I just don't do this."

Ling Xiche felt very annoyed when he was messed with like this. His eyes swept down the red dress on the table, and his heart became even more agitated. He waved the dress and swept it to the ground.

"How many times have I told you? I told you to act cautiously, be cautious! Is it true that you don't listen to my opinion at all? Then why did you want me to work with you to build Haiyan Heqing's prosperity? "

Shen Chen went over to caress his back, "Why are you so angry today? You calm down, it hurts your body. I will listen to your opinions more in the future, I promise."

Seeing Shen Chen's aggressive look, Ling Xiche took a deep breath, his tone seemed to be too much.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Maybe it's because of the New Year's Eve banquet later, I feel a little dry."

Shen Chen put his arms around him and comforted him, "I know, it's normal for you to have shadows in your heart when the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was made like that last time. It's better if you vent it on me, it's better than keeping it in your heart. Don't worry, today I will definitely have a good year later, and nothing bad will happen."

Shen Chen sighed softly. Originally, the focus was on making him queen, but his focus was all on the ledger, so forget it this time, and find another opportunity next time.

At the New Year's Eve banquet, the monarch will enjoy the banquet with his courtiers, and all courtiers can bring their first wives to the state banquet.Shen Chen does not have a queen. Over the years, noble concubines have participated as Shen Chen's main chamber, but this year is different. Shen Chen directly expressed his attitude to the queen mother, and this year he will bring Mei Concubine to the banquet. After some disputes, Shen Chen and the queen mother each withdrew. Concubine Mei can attend the banquet as the master of Chenle Palace, but the imperial concubine is still the head of all concubines and will attend the banquet together.

Of course, Ling Xiche only heard Shen Chen say these things when he was on the road, if he had known earlier, he would definitely not have gone.

Now there is still a while before the banquet, Shen Chen took Ling Xiche to Shoukang Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, because the imperial concubine was there, after the New Year's greetings, Ling Xiche found an excuse to change clothes, and slipped out by himself.

The sky is getting dark again, and the time of each day is so fast.

Although it was cold outside, the air in the evening was very fresh, which made people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Ling Xiche looked back, it was Ling Qiyuan and Shen Yu.It's been a long time since we saw each other, Ling Qiyuan's abdomen has already stood up, and Shen Yu supported her.

Ling Qiyuan quickly walked a few steps to Ling Xiche's side, and whispered in his ear, "Brother."

Ling Xiche supported her body, "Be careful."

Shen Yu also rushed to support her, "Yuanyuan, walk slowly."

Ling Qiyuan pushed his hand away, took Ling Xiche's arm and whispered, "I want my brother, not you."

Shen Yu pretended to be angry and said, "You only want him? Then I will start to hate him from now on."

Ling Qiyuan poked Shen Yu, "It's rare for me and him to see each other, so you stay away and give us some brother and sister time."

"Okay." Shen Yu went over to hold her back, "We should go in, otherwise the queen mother will have to wait for a long time."

Ling Qiyuan reluctantly waved to Ling Xiche, "I'll see you at the table later."

Although Ling Xiche replied yes, he could almost guess that the queen mother would definitely want her to sit next to the queen mother, which meant that she would not be able to talk later today.

Sure enough, after the banquet, the queen mother took Ling Qiyuan to sit with her, and ordered the two of them to test the poison in turn before letting go of their hearts.

Ling Xiche sat at the head of the women's seat, facing the noble concubine. Ling Xiche tried to keep a low profile, but the wives of the officials didn't let him.

The wives of the courtiers who were not in Xu's camp came over to talk to Ling Xiche one by one, exaggerating how good-looking he was, how good-looking he was, and envied how much Shen Chen treated him.Although Ling Xiche was extremely embarrassed, he could only smile for company.

Halfway through the banquet, the imperial concubine was the head of the six palaces to reward the wives of the officials. At this time, Ling Xiche finally got his wish and was temporarily ignored.

After the banquet was over, Shen Chen was going to pay respects to the gods, and the queen mother persuaded Shen Chen to be accompanied by the noble concubine, so Ling Xiche quietly went back by himself.

Pushing open the door of the inner hall, Chun'er and Xiao Mingzi are sitting by the charcoal stove each holding a bowl of dumplings.

"Master Ling, why did you come back alone?"

"Young master, why didn't the emperor come back with you?"

Ling Xiche walked to the charcoal stove, Xiao Mingzi quickly gave him the stool, and then went to get another stool by himself.

"What are the fillings for the dumplings?"

"Pork with shepherd's purse."

Ling Xiche smiled and said, "It looks delicious, is there any more?"

"There's still some in the pot in the small kitchen, I'll get it for the young master."

Chun'er put down the bowl and chopsticks, and filled a bowl for Ling Xiche not long after.

"My lord, didn't you have enough to eat at the banquet?" Xiao Mingzi asked puzzled.

Ling Xiche picked up a dumpling and took a bite, "A lot of people stared at me at the banquet, so I don't feel like eating it."

Chun'er laughed when she heard the words, "That's right, among the female family members, only the regular wives can participate in the state banquet, although this time the imperial concubine went because of the face of the Xu family, but who doesn't know what it means for the emperor to bring you here? The future empress, who doesn't want to take a few more glances."

Ling Xiche's cheeks flushed slightly, "Where did you learn to be so glib? You're just talking nonsense."

While eating, there was the sound of fireworks outside.

Ling Xiche finished eating the last dumpling in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, opened the door and walked out.

He only saw fireworks when he was a child when the country's national strength was not bad, and he hadn't seen fireworks for many, many years later.Goodbye, there is a wet feeling in the eyes, but the heart is warm.

This is probably the sign of prosperity, right?

Just as he was watching intently, he heard footsteps not far away, and when he turned his head, it was naturally Shen Chen.

"Xi Che, I originally wanted to take you with me to pay respects to the gods, but that is the queen mother..."

Ling Xiche interrupted with a smile, "Okay, I don't care about these things. If you really want to take me there, I don't want to. After all, the days have been quite peaceful recently, and I don't want to cause trouble."

Shen Chen walked over and hugged him, "Are the fireworks beautiful?"

Ling Xiche looked up at the colorful fireworks blooming in the sky, with a smile on his lips.

"It's beautiful. I hope this prosperous world can last forever. No, I hope it will get better and better."

"Yes." Shen Chen turned to look at him, "But I think these fireworks are not as good-looking as yours."

Ling Xiche didn't appreciate it, "Don't say these things anymore, I heard those ladies flattering me today, my goosebumps are falling all over the floor, so please forgive me."

"You really don't understand style."

"Yeah, that's what I am."

"It's okay, I don't dislike it."

Ling Xiche smiled and lightly tapped Shen Chen's chest, "Who cares?"

Shen Chen grabbed Ling Xiche's hand and pulled him into his arms, "Xiche..."

"Ok?"

Shen Chen stuck to Ling Xiche's ear and said, "Xiche, shall we go back to our room?"

Ling Xiche's heart fluttered, but out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a warm yellow light flashing on the roof not far away, and subconsciously pushed Shen Chen away.

Shen Chen was a little confused by his push, didn't he already accept himself?

"Xi Che..."

Ling Xiche tapped his forehead, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to be the one who pushed you away just now."

"What do you mean it's not you?"

"It's hard for me to explain this to you, because I'm not particularly clear myself."

Shen Chen still wanted to ask what Ling Xiche meant by the strange words just now, when a pile of snow suddenly fell from the sky and hit him.

Both Shen Chen and Ling Xiche were dumbfounded.

Now there is clearly no one around, and there is no tree overhead, where did this snowball come from?

Just as he was thinking, another snowball fell from the sky and hit Shen Chen on his body. At this moment, Ling Xiche saw a flash of golden light on the roof where the warm yellow light had just flashed.

He obviously didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to know what was going on, so he went over and dragged Shen Chen into the house.

"It's too weird outside, let's go in. Chun'er and the others cooked dumplings, there should be more, do you want it?"

"Okay."
