Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

In order to celebrate the victory of the Northwest Army, the palace will hold a grand banquet to reward those meritorious soldiers of the Northwest.

The Queen Mother said that the merits of the northwest soldiers could not be separated from the support of their families, so she issued an order to allow the northwest soldiers in Beijing to bring their families to the palace for the banquet.

The Queen Mother sent someone to the Bai family early to tell everyone to go.

Qiuniang was even specifically mentioned to go with the Bai family.

Mrs. Zhen specifically told the Queen Mother that she would also bring Bai Zhaomei's fiancée Cuicui with her, and the Queen Mother agreed.

The Bai family is a little annoyed these days, because after Bai Zhaomei came back from the northwest, the big families in Beijing came up with the idea of ​​marrying Bai Zhaomei.

The Bai family said that Bai Zhaomei was engaged, but there were still some people who were stubborn and implicitly said that the Bai family could break off the engagement. More people thought that Bai Zhaomei's engagement was an excuse to carefully select the family to form an alliance with.

The angry old lady Bai leaned against the door frame and cursed.

In order to reveal the fact that the fifth child of the Bai family is engaged, the Bai family plans to bring Cuicui to the palace banquet.

In addition to Cuicui and Qiuniang, two non-staff members of the Bai family, Village Chief Zhao also received a quota to enter the palace.

The excited Village Chief Zhao didn't sleep a wink all night.

In addition to rewarding the northwest soldiers, this palace banquet also had the function of welcoming the envoys of the Rong Kingdom.

Xiao Fuyuan heard from his fourth brother that the envoys of the Rong Kingdom arrived in the capital on the second day after the Northwest Army entered the city to present prisoners, and are now living in the inn. The emperor deliberately chose to welcome the northwest soldiers into the palace on the day when they were being rewarded. He also wanted to kill them, so that the consciousness that the defeated country had no say in diplomacy was implanted in his mind.

Xiao Fuyuan thought that the emperor's cousin was playing a very sinister game.

But it’s understandable.

If the Xia Kingdom were defeated, I am afraid that the Rong Kingdom would not only despise the Xia Kingdom, but would also demand that the Xia Kingdom cede territory and pay compensation, and even march to the capital with their troops in ruins.

Now Xia State is willing to accept peace talks with the defeated Rong State.

Xia Guo has been very kind!

Bai Panmei, as the delegation for Xia Guo's peace talks, is very busy these days and often cannot see him.

Xiao Fuyuan finally caught the fourth brother on the first night of the palace banquet and told Bai Panmei the news about Qiu Niang's mother brought by You Qingya.

Bai Panmei found Qiuniang and told Qiuniang that the Rongguo mission had brought He Lianliang's eight-year-old son.

……

Although no one from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was in the Northwest Army, as the Queen Mother's nominal mother's family, they still received invitations to the palace banquet.

In fact, not only the Zhenguo Palace, but also many aristocratic families in the capital received invitations.

After receiving the notice for the banquet, the old lady dressed up Chen Xuan'er.

"...Xuan'er, if you perform at the banquet tonight, you have to give your mother a break."

Aunt Chen, mother and daughter also received invitations to attend the palace banquet.

The Queen Mother tactfully mentioned in private that at the palace banquet, she hoped that Chen Xuan'er would find a young talent in the Northwest Army, and she would decide who she liked and give Chen Xuan'er a good match.

Aunt Chen didn't dare to have an attack in front of the Queen Mother. When she came back, she was so angry that she went to the old lady of the Duke's Mansion to fight her.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would marry Chen Xuan'er to the Northwest Army. Wasn't this pushing Chen Xuan'er into a pit of fire? They finally came to the capital from the ghost place in the countryside of Nanguan Town, but the Queen Mother did not care at all about the suffering she had suffered and wanted to send her daughter to the northwest.

In Aunt Chen's imagination, going to the northwest with the army was comparable to a criminal exile.

If the Queen Mother wanted to sincerely plan for Chen Xuan'er, she would have made plans as early as when they entered Beijing, and there was no need to wait until now.

The Queen Mother was so partial. She gave Bai Panmei the title of princess in marriage and Xiao Fuyuan the title of princess. Not only did she not give her daughter a reward, she even refused to give her a good marriage. Originally, Aunt Chen still felt a little guilty about Chen Xuan'er hitting the Queen Mother in the face when she entered the palace. The Queen Mother wanted to marry Chen Xuan'er to the Northwest Army, which completely eliminated the remaining guilt in her heart.

She wished that Chen Xuan'er would enter the palace immediately!

In addition to hating the Queen Mother, Aunt Chen also hated Mrs. Zhen.

She felt that the Queen Mother's idea of ​​conferring a marriage was instigated by the Bai family. After all, Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ran to the Queen Mother's palace more frequently than anyone else.

In addition, she had promised Chen Xuan'er to Bai Panmei and had a dispute with the Bai family. At this time, Bai Panmei and the princess were engaged. The Bai family must have wanted to make Chen Xuan'er disappear from the capital in order to win over the princess.

The more the Bai family behaves like this, the more Aunt Chen will not let them succeed.

"Mom, what do you think the Queen Mother wants to promise me to an ordinary soldier of the Northwest Army?"

Chen Xuan'er was not angry when she learned that the Queen Mother was going to give her a marriage. If she was given to a brave general or a top scholar like Bai Panmei, she might give up her plan to enter the palace and make a positive start for these people. Lady.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother wanted to marry her to a low-level officer like a Centurion and a Thousand Commander.

Not only that, but she was also required to accompany the army.

She was so angry!

The people who sacrificed the most in the war were ordinary soldiers and low-level officers. Did the Queen Mother want her to be a widow from the beginning of her marriage?

Why didn't the Queen Mother promise her to a young general like the fifth child of the Bai family?

It can be seen that the Queen Mother deliberately ignored her.

In this case, she had nothing to say, so she listened wholeheartedly to the old lady's words, performed well at the palace banquet, and attracted the emperor with a blockbuster.

"With the old lady here, it's impossible for you to go to the sandy place in the northwest." Aunt Chen said.

"Sister, listen to me and have a good time tonight."

Chen Jing'er opened the curtain and came in, touched the luxurious clothes sent by the old lady, and said to Chen Xuan'er: "The success or failure of our family depends on tonight."

Chen Jing'er was in a very low mood.

She didn't know why her family was so unlucky. Ever since the last time Chen Xuan'er danced in front of aristocratic ladies, the aristocratic families in the capital had avoided their mother and daughter. She wanted to curry favor with those ladies and they ignored her.

Although she was angry that the Queen Mother wanted to marry Chen Xuan'er to the Northwest Army, she was also concerned about it.

Knowing that the two sisters could not find better children from aristocratic families in the capital.

This is true for Chen Xuan'er, and even more so for her alone.

Therefore, if the Chen family wants to make a comeback, Chen Xuan'er's entry into the palace is the fastest shortcut.

The attitude of those noble ladies who look down upon their mother and daughter now would definitely be the same again if Chen Xuan'er were favored in the palace.

What's even more irritating is that in addition to the obstacles in the marriage between the two sisters, the shop and farmland that Zhen Ruocheng favored for her turned out to be someone who deceived Zhen Ruocheng, and the money she lost was hers.

Although Zhen Ruocheng wanted to make it up to her, she just took it away in order to show her magnanimity and understanding in front of Zhen Ruocheng.

"Jing'er, are you from the old lady?" Aunt Chen asked.

A thin blush appeared on Chen Jing'er's face, she turned sideways and said vaguely: "It's from the old lady."

In fact, Chen Jing'er came out of Tong's house. Of course, she didn't see Tong in her house, but she met Zhen Ruocheng and had a few words with Ruocheng's cousin.

She didn't plan to let Aunt Chen know about her plan before things happened.

If she didn't say anything, Aunt Chen would just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Anyway, Chen Jing'er, this daughter, has always been worry-free and has ideas.
