Xie Yunjin was idle and had nothing to do, and proposed to help Lu Jiao settle the account. Lu Jiao was so happy that she left the matter to him.

He didn't know how much money Lu Jiao had earned over the past few years. It was a really scary figure.

Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao again with a different look.

"In a few more years, Jiaojiao is afraid that she will become the richest man in Da Zhou."

Lu Jiao replied with a smile: "Low-key, low-key, we won't fight for that name."

Xie Yunjin was amused by her. The two of them were at home for a while, which was a rare happy time.

At the end of the year, Bailu Academy had a holiday, and Dabao came back. The most rare thing was that Sanbao came back from Ningzhou.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were overjoyed when they saw him. The two gathered around Sanbao and looked at him. Sanbao was blushed by his parents.

"Father, mother, what's wrong?"

Xie Yunjin looked at him and said, "I have grown taller and stronger, and now I look like a real man."

Although Sanbao was only fifteen years old, because he handled matters in Ningzhou independently, he seemed calm and restrained, and he had a warm aura that made people look friendly.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were naturally happy to see such a son.

Seeing that his parents were so happy, Sanbao was in a particularly good mood. He stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yunjin and said, "I didn't want to come back this year, but when I took someone out to see the doctor before, I heard that my father was injured, and I was frightened. I jumped, so I decided to return to Beijing temporarily."

Sanbao said, looking at Xie Yunjin's face with distressed eyes: "Dad, your face is not in the way."

The white gauze on Xie Yunjin's face has been removed, but his face is still a little scary because the scar is a little deep.

But this gave Master Xie a gloomy beauty.

But Sanbao still felt distressed when he saw his old father like this.

Xie Yunjin quickly reassured him: "It's okay, isn't Dad okay now? As for the injury on the face, your mother is here, so it won't get in the way."

When Dabao and Longfengti heard that Sanbao was back, they ran over early.

When the brothers and sisters met, they were indescribably happy. They hugged and talked and laughed. The scene was indescribably lively.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao looked at the children and thought of the Erbao far away at the border and the Four Treasures in the palace.

In the evening, Lu Jiao instructed Aunt Hua to prepare a table of dishes, and the family gathered for dinner.

The big treasure was on vacation and the three treasures came back. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao saved their troubles, and the two little ones were given full authority to the two older brothers to take.

As the New Year is approaching, the two adults are going to visit relatives and friends, and go to the houses of the courtiers who are close to each other.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, a banquet was held in the palace. Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and his wife entered the palace for the banquet.

Every year on the thirtieth year, a banquet is held in the palace to entertain the ministers in the court and the relatives of the ministers.

This year's palace banquet is slightly different from previous years. In previous years, the courtiers complied with King Jin, and also believed that King Jin would become the heir of Da Zhou and finally ascend to the throne smoothly. Therefore, King Jin has always been one of the stars holding the moon.

But this year, due to the return of the second prince, coupled with the various situations displayed by His Majesty, many people among the courtiers doubted that the candidate for the crown prince that His Majesty took a fancy to was probably the second prince.

So this year's banquet is divided into two factions, no, it is divided into three factions, one faction supports King Jin, the other supports King Ming, and there is a neutral faction, no matter who is in the upper position.

When Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao arrived, almost all the ministers and wives in the court were there, but neither the concubine nor the prince and princess in the palace appeared. As soon as Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao walked in, someone greeted them.

The two looked at each other and went to talk to others, until outside the hall, the eunuch's loud voice sounded: "The Empress is here, Concubine Shu is here, and Lady Zhaoyi is here."

All the courtiers and women in the hall turned around to greet him.

Lu Jiao's face turned cold in the crowd. She didn't expect the emperor to let the queen come out so quickly. This woman won't make any more moths when she comes out. If she dares to come out again, she doesn't mind.

The queen's whole body has reduced a lot, and her expression is also light, with a condescending high-profile appearance.

"Everyone, get up."

Lu Jiao stood up behind the others, just as the queen looked over with cold eyes, her eyes were full of hatred, cold and cold.

It's just that she just looked at Lu Jiao when the eunuch's report came from outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty is here, the Queen Mother is here, King Jin is here, and King Ming is here."

When the queen heard the eunuch's report, she immediately turned around and greeted her. Her Majesty unblocked her feet, and she didn't want to be grounded again.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

The queen led the courtiers to salute Xiao Yu. In front of the hall, Xiao Yu frowned at the sight of the queen. If it wasn't for a palace banquet tonight, he would not be able to relieve the queen's feet. When the queen comes out, tonight's palace banquet must be presided over by her mother, which will raise the status of her mother and the Zhao family.

Xiao Yu didn't want that, so he had to untie the queen's feet, but if the queen was restless, Xiao Yu wouldn't mind punishing her.

Even if the queen didn't raise her head, she could see the look in the emperor's eyes, full of warning and sternness.

She knelt down more and more properly.

Xiao Yu didn't want to show the empress' face in front of everyone, so he walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "The empress, get up."

The queen got up as she said, and followed the emperor to the hall.

Later, Empress Dowager Zhao watched all this and hummed, don't think she didn't know her son's mind, didn't she just don't want the Zhao family to be the only one, didn't she want her to be the only one? But can Li Yunshan, this stupid woman, be stable?

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Concubine Zhao's belly in the harem. Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly froze as she thought about it. Could it be that the emperor didn't want Concubine Zhao to get pregnant, so what did he do?

When Xiao Yu walked to the high seat and sat down, he found that the Queen Mother's face was very bad. He turned to the Queen Mother and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at him with a cold snort~www.readwn.com~ I'm afraid this is what he hoped, hoping that she is not in good health.

Xiao Yu looked at Empress Dowager Zhao's expression, clearly annoyed at him, what did he do to annoy her?

Empress Dowager Zhao pursed her lips and said nothing, but she looked at Concubine Zhao, who was not far from Xiao Yu, either intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Yu followed her line of sight, and instantly had a guess in his heart. The queen mother guessed that he had manipulated Zhao Concubine, so Zhao Concubine was not pregnant for so long?

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth showed a look of mockery but not mockery. Is it because he was wrong or the Zhao family was big-hearted. He had already married a Zhao daughter before, and he sent another Zhao daughter to the palace. Is he just so hungry? However, in order to stabilize the court situation, he agreed, but he didn't even think about asking Zhao's girls to become princes.

Xiao Yu didn't look at Empress Dowager Zhao, turned around to look at the courtier who was facing down, and motioned: "All the ministers are flat, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
