Princess Cai seemed to hit the cotton with one punch. Chu Junlan had always been angry and refused to suffer the most. Today, she became obedient in front of Prince Gong. If she pursued her more, she would seem unkind.

Xiao Xu glanced at Princess Cai coldly, then helped Chu Junlan's hand to walk towards the carriage: "Get on the car, it's cold outside, don't blow the wind."

Seeing Xiao Xu being so gentle and kind to Chu Junlan, Princess Cai became even more angry

At this time, Princess Zhang in the carriage said in a low voice: "Sister Cai, get in the car quickly. Didn't you just argue that it was too late? It would be too late to delay it."

King Cai glared at Princess Zhang in a angrily, turned around and got into the car.

The carriage swayed slightly toward the unfinished palace. Chu Junlan leaned against Xiao Xu, and his earrings swung with the shaking of the carriage: "I saw that Princess Cai had just stopped for a few days, and then it started to shake again?"

Xiao Xu frowned and said, "She has always been so rude, and I don't know how the Cai family taught her daughter."

Chu Junlan laughed loudly when he heard this, patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder and said, "She is naturally fearless. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand. The emperor only invited our family and the Cai family. As the daughter of the Cai family, how could she not be proud? The former prince was dissatisfied with her going back to the Cai family, and now she has turned over."

Xiao Xu nodded, hugged Chu Junlan's hand tightened a little: "I will enter the palace later, and you should pay attention to your diet. Although the emperor has a good intention, I always feel like there is no good wine or banquet."

Chu Junlan felt the same way, so he nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, I can take good care of myself."

The convoy of Prince Gong's mansion came all the way to the palace gate. Before he could even report to the guards guarding the palace gate, he saw a group of instructors wearing dark blue sunflower shirts walking quickly. The leader held a rhinoceros whisk in his hand and smiled. It was the eunuch Li Defang.

"Eunuch Li, you have to go and do the job in such a snowy and snowy way?" Princess Zhang got off the carriage first and greeted Li Defang with a smile.

Li Defang hurriedly saluted Prince Gong respectfully, and smiled and said with a smile: "Reply to the prince's words, the emperor saw that the time was almost over, so he specially ordered me to bring people out to greet you. Please come in and ask me."

Prince Gong was frightened and bowed in surprise: "Thank you, the emperor for sympathizing with his subordinates." He turned around and greeted the people of the royal family, "Come on, don't miss the time."

"Yes." Everyone responded to the gods. This time, Princess Cai nodded obediently and did not argue more.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu joined hands to follow Prince Gong, Princess Zhang and Princess Cai, while the other princes and ladies from Prince Gong's lineage followed at the end.

As Chu Junlan walked, he secretly recorded the road he had walked. When he reached the end of the palace road, he saw that there was still an unfinished wall, and they realized that the palace had not been built yet.

"Prince, the emperor ordered the New Year's Eve dinner to be prepared in the side hall of Yangxin Hall. Please come with me."

"It's a good job." Prince Gong smiled warmly, and saw everything he saw on the road, but did not show any emotion.

Chu Junlan was a little tired from walking. The palace occupied a wide area. She had not eaten well recently, so she naturally had some strength. So she simply let Xiao Xu hold her hand.

When I came to the Yangxin Hall, I saw a spacious courtyard with bright lights. The eunuch in dark blue wardrobe and the palace maid in pink clothes and purple skirts were lined up on both sides. When I saw someone coming, I saluted them together.

Li Defang led his confidants into the side hall of Yangxin Hall.

Chu Junlan stepped on the Danba, looked up and looked around, and his eyes fell on the four rows of white open tables in the hall. At this time, the wine and food were prepared. The table was also prepared on the low stool. The green mattress was also placed on the low stool.

Emperor Jinghong and Concubine Shu were sitting upright at the first seat once, while the Sixth Prince was whispering to several young and old men and women in extraordinary clothes. The Sixth Prince was straight and responding and looking graceful.

Chu Junlan knew that the Cai family had arrived first before they could.

Prince Gong led his family to Emperor Jinghong, and the Cai family stopped talking with the sixth prince and retreated to both sides.

Prince Gong knelt down and kowtowed, "My minister Xiao Rilang pays homage to the emperor!"

Xiao Xu, Xiao Yuncheng, Xiao Yunguang and other male members knelt behind Prince Gong. Princess Zhang and Princess Cai also brought their female relatives to salute.

Emperor Jing Hong smiled and said repeatedly: "No gifts, no gifts. Today is just a family banquet, and no one invites them, so everyone can sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Cai family and Prince Gong's family spoke in unison.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu sat behind Prince Gong.

Emperor Jing Hong smiled and ordered the banquet to start. Immediately, a dancer wearing pink and cool clothes came slowly with the sound of silk and bamboo orchestra, and swung his sleeves and danced.

The sixth prince sat on the position of Emperor Jing Hong and Concubine Shu, and stood up in a simple costume to pour wine for Emperor Jing Hong and Concubine Shu.

Emperor Jing Hong smiled and raised his wine glass, and said slowly in the deep voice: "Today's New Year's Eve banquet, I invited the Cai family and Prince Gong's family. Can you tell me why?"

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and hid his emotions. Isn’t Emperor Jing Hong afraid that his ministers would get into trouble because of the previous incident of 1.8 million taels of Baiyin?

Emperor Jing Hong said: "What I do is that we can be harmonious with the king and the ministers. I move the capital here with all my oppositions. There are not many trustworthy people around me. Both of you are my loyal ministers. I hope we can work together."

"The emperor's words are serious, and I am afraid." Prince Gong stood up to salute, and Chu Junlan and others had to follow him to salute, "The whole family must be the emperor's priority, but it is based on the instructions."

Cai Maochang, the old patriarch of the Cai family, also stood up and said, "Caomin and others mean the same."

The Cai family did not become officials, so they only called themselves "grass and civilians".

Emperor Jinghong was very satisfied and nodded and said, "No matter what happened before, I will be surrounded by you in the future. Today, I will take this family banquet, so you can drink this cup."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone picked up their wine glasses.

Chu Junlan smelled the thing in the cup and felt disgusted, so she just touched it with her lips and was put down.

Emperor Jing Hong ordered everyone to sit down. The sixth prince got the hint from Concubine Shu and hurriedly got up and came down to pour wine for the two families one by one.

Waiting for the sixth prince to get closer, Princess Cai whispered to Chu Junlan, who was only separated from her by a chapter of the table: "Why, the emperor personally toasts, you don't look down on him?"

Chu Junlan turned around in surprise when he heard this, even the rest of the people around him were the same.

"Princess Cai, why did you say this?" Chu Junlan smiled and lowered his voice, "It's a blessing to have the emperor toast. It's just that I shouldn't drink now. Princess Cai is a person who knows etiquette, and the emperor will not mind it. Princess Cai doesn't have to worry too much about this matter."

Princess Cai was blushed when she was confronted, and she was not a quarrel, so she could only sulk with a cold face.
