Chapter 1033
It was a big event for the queen to go back to her natal family to visit her relatives, but Yingning and Ci'er went out in a low-key manner, except for notifying Li Yanxing and others, they did not alarm anyone else.

Therefore, the County Prince's Mansion could not organize it with great fanfare. After Yingning's mother and son were brought into the mansion, they only bought a table of meals, and the whole family, regardless of gender, sat together in groups.

"Aren't the third and fourth sisters coming back?" Yingning asked.

"I said I would come back, but your third younger sister is pregnant now and is about to give birth. I am afraid of accidents, so I will not come back." Murong Qing explained, "The fourth younger sister's mother-in-law is sick, and she has to stay at home. Serve, and I can’t come back.”

Li Diyao looked around at the few people on the table, and sighed with some disappointment: "In the past, the family reunion was lively and lively, but now there are only these few people left."

Yang is no longer there as the mistress, and the few concubines are even less qualified to come here.

Therefore, only Li Yanxing, Li Fucheng and his wife, Li Diyao and his wife, Yingning and Ci'er were the only ones on the table.

Li Fucheng said: "The people who have read a lot are those who love to hurt the spring and mourn the autumn." He raised his glass, "There will be fewer people at this table next year, so let's drink a few more drinks now."

"What kind of talk is this?" Li Diyao wondered, "It's the New Year's Eve, how can the eldest brother speak of frustration. Who else will be missing next year?"

"It's me, your elder brother." Li Fucheng pointed to himself.

Except for Ying Ning and Li Fucheng himself, the rest of the family didn't know that he was about to take office in Nanzhili.

Seeing that Murong Qing also showed doubts, Ying Ning said, "Brother, why didn't you even tell sister-in-law? This is a big matter, and you should discuss it."

"What's the matter?" Li Yanxing asked.

"Father, I have already resigned from the position of Commander of Jinyiwei." Li Fucheng explained, "After the new year, I will leave the capital and work in the Southern Zhili Military Department."

Leaving Jinyiwei, this is something that the whole family is happy to see.

The jobs that Jin Yiwei did were all dirty things that were harmful to privacy.

Even if they are their own family members, they cannot comfort themselves.

Now that he heard that he had finally left Jinyiwei, Li Yanxing's eyes turned red: "It's a pity, your mother couldn't wait until this day."

"Father, mother can watch from the sky." Yingning said, "I think, in mother's heart, mother is satisfied with elder brother no matter if elder brother is a Jinyiwei or something else."

Li Diyao said: "Our family is talking sweet, and we have to count the younger sister."

Murong Qing asked: "What position will the son hold in the Southern Zhili military department?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

"I'm afraid this will cause criticism, right?" Li Yanxing frowned upon hearing this, "With your qualifications, it's not too bad to be Minister of the Ministry of War."

Ying Ning said: "It's just the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanzhili, not the Minister of the Ministry of War in the capital. Don't be too worried, Daddy. Big brother has been struggling in Jinyiwei for so many years, can't he still be able to handle Nanzhili?"

"I'm just worried, it's because the emperor made an exception to promote your eldest brother for your sake."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

The emperor treated the empress's natal family favorably and promoted him exceptionally, which shows that the emperor valued the empress.

This is good news for those ministers who are worried about the discord between the emperor and the empress, which will affect the status of the prince.

Li Yanxing asked again: "Is it going to take a few years?"

"The emperor said that after the three-year term expires, the elder brother will be transferred back." Yingning said, "This is a good opportunity for the elder brother. The elder brother will take his sister-in-law to Nanzhili together. Three years will pass quickly."
