As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

However, Xie Wei was very calm and simply persuaded his wife.

It is not feasible not to go to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

The annual New Year's Eve palace banquet is extremely grand, and you still have to attend. You just need to leave and go back home when it's almost in progress.

Later, Ms. Yu thought about it carefully and figured out what her daughter actually meant when she came back to stay up late on New Year's Eve.

I was slightly disappointed for a while.

But when I think about being able to watch the New Year together, all those slight disappointments disappeared in an instant and turned into full of expectations. I was so happy that everyone in the house received an extra red envelope for the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, the palace banquet was held as normal as in previous years.

This year is a rare year for family reunions.

Xie Zhaozhao sat next to Yun Qi on the high platform. He couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his parents, brother, sister and sisters-in-law sitting in the banquet.

He is usually dignified and steady, but tonight he frequently looked towards the table.

I just feel that time is passing so slowly. It has been a long time, but it is not yet time to release the sky lanterns.

Yun Qi knew her mood and whispered in her ear: "If you really can't sit still, leave first and go change. I'll let your mother and sister go home first."

As for Xie Changyu, Xie Changqing and Xie Wei, they are all important figures in the court. It is not convenient for them to leave early on an occasion like tonight.

Xie Zhaozhao nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go first, you will..."

"I know."

Yun Qi patted her hand comfortingly: "Go ahead."

Xie Zhaozhao used the excuse of changing clothes, got up and left directly back to Yulongtai, and ordered Gong'e to disassemble and change clothes for him.

The queen's crown and attire are extremely noble and embody the style of the mother of the country, but they are also extremely complicated.

It took Gong'e a long time to take off the robe piece by piece, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to take off the bun.

It seemed that more than half an hour had passed when Xie Zhaozhao had put on a simple bun and put on light clothes, and left the Dragon Palace to prepare to leave the palace.

There was a young eunuch waiting outside the Yulong Terrace. When he saw Xie Zhaozhao, he quickly bowed forward and said, "Queen, Madam Xie is waiting for you at the gate of the palace."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao immediately took the chariot to the palace gate.

When he arrived in front of the palace gate, Xie Zhaozhao saw Yu standing in the cold wind from a distance, pacing back and forth, looking towards the palace road from time to time.

The moment she saw the imperial chariot, Mrs. Yu quickly stepped forward with joy.

Xie Zhaozhao immediately ordered the people to stop, bent down from the chariot, and supported his mother: "Why don't you wait in the car on such a cold day? Your hands are cold."

"I also persuaded my mother to wait in the car, but she couldn't sit still." Xie Jiajia sighed: "I have to wait here because my body is not afraid of the cold."

"No, look at it."

Xie Jiajia raised her hand and pointed from left to right.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes also followed Xie Jiajia's hand from left to right.

The sisters-in-law were all following Yu. Zhao Mingyue and Chen Shulan were holding Yu's arms. Qiu Huixian stood beside Chen Shulan, but Shalan stood on the other side of Xie Jiajia.

Everyone was smiling, even Shalan looked indifferent, but there was also a hint of smile in her eyes.

But they were all delicate women, and the cold wind made their faces turn red.

Xie Zhaozhao was so excited that he urged everyone to get in the car quickly, "If you get frozen, my brothers will still come to trouble me!"

Everyone laughed and got in the car at Xie Zhaozhao's urging.

Xie Zhaozhao saw that Zhao Mingyue's ears were turning red from the cold. He leaned closer and whispered, "Sister-in-law Six, have you secretly reduced your clothes again? Be careful that Brother Six knows that he will be angry with you."

"..." Zhao Mingyue hurriedly came closer: "Hush, shush, don't tell your sixth brother, I'm really not cold. My father also said that the more air in the body, the stronger the bones. He always feels that I am very cold."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Then I won't tell you."

Zhao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Zhaozhao got on Yu's carriage, and Xie Jiajia also squeezed in. The mother and daughter talked and laughed along the way, having a good time.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion, Yu held Xie Zhaozhao's right hand with her left hand and looked around. Chen Shulan happened to be there, so he took her up and said, "Let's go in quickly."

Xie Jiajia laughed: "Oh, my mother likes the fifth younger brother and sister, she seems to like me more."

Although Chen Shulan knew she was joking, she was still a little embarrassed and said softly: "Third sister is joking. My mother has always longed for third sister, how could she-"

"Don't coax her." Mrs. Yu pulled Chen Shulan to her side and glanced at Xie Jiajia. "She loves to make jokes like this. You should ignore her and don't worry about it."

After saying that, he led Chen Shulan and Xie Zhaozhao in together.

Xie Jiajia sighed pretending to be sad, then laughed loudly and invited the others to come into the house together.

Qiu Huixian had met Xie Jiajia twice before and was not familiar with her, so she smiled politely and stayed with her.

Zhao Mingyue had been in Xie's Mansion in Beijing and had a good relationship with Chen Shulan. When she saw Chen Shulan going in, she was polite to her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law and also went in.

Before she had taken two steps, Yu's greeting came from the front: "Mingyue, hurry up, don't wait for mother to lead you."

Zhao Mingyue responded quickly and followed quickly.

Xie Jiajia sighed again, "Hey, they all took her away, let's hold them too."

After saying this, she held Shalan with her left hand and Qiu Huixian with her right hand.

Sha Lan felt comfortable being led by her, because two years ago Xie Jiajia said she wanted to see the sea and went to Yaocheng for a few months, and she was already very familiar with Sha Lan.

No matter how indifferent Sha Lan was, it was really hard not to have a crush on a heartless and fun-loving woman like Xie Jiajia.

She approached Xie Jiajia and asked in a low voice: "Have you finished writing the last story about the princess and the guard? What is the result?"

Qiu Huixian was a little embarrassed at first, but when she heard this, she came over and was smart enough not to interrupt, and listened carefully.

Xie Jiajia smiled and said: "After I finished writing, I knew you would be curious about this. I brought many notebooks with me this time, including that one. I'll show it to you when I'm done."

"Let's just say, there is no girl who doesn't like to read love stories."

Shallan nodded honestly: "Indeed."

She thought it was interesting at first, but after reading one book she became addicted.

Priscilla Qiu asked: "What love story book?"

"It's just falling in love." Xie Jiajia said bluntly: "A woman and a man, or a woman and several men, that kind of sad love story where you come and go and pull each other away."

"This……"

Qiu Huixian looked complicated, "How many men can there be one woman and one?"

"Of course! Sister-in-law, you should also read it, I wrote it all!" Xie Jiajia said generously: "You probably haven't read it, just use it as a pastime. I think you will also like it."

Priscilla Qiu actually can watch it or not.

But thinking about my recent pregnancy... and there is nothing to do in Beijing, it would be good to kill some time.

In addition, since the introduction was so enthusiastic, it would be rude to refuse.

So she agreed: "Thank you so much, Third Sister."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Don't worry, I'll pick some just for you. They're all things you can see, and they won't be too outrageous or scary." She patted her chest and said.

Little did she know that what seemed safe to her was definitely outrageous to Qiu Huixian. (End of chapter)
