Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 262 Family Banquet

Lin Zisu thought that Xie Xi would get what he wanted soon and would be full of joy.

What Xie Xi thought in his heart was not the same as Lin Zisu.

In the past few months, he has sent people to Dunzhou to inquire more than once. The so-called vassal palace under construction was purely a big cake painted by the people below.

The emperor did pay the cost of building the royal palace from the treasury, but when he arrived in Jiannan Province, he had already been embezzled for half of it. He passed by Pingyang Mansion and asked for it. When he arrived in Dunzhou, he only had more than 10,000 taels of silver left.

This little money cannot be built even half of the royal palace.

Dunzhou has poor mountains and rivers, and there is no harvest in a year. With the local finances, I want to build the Dun Prince Mansion, but I am afraid it will be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Originally, in Xie Xi's heart, he gave him two years to arrange everything in Dunzhou first.

After getting married to Lin Zisu, she took her to Dunzhou to take up the vassal state, so she would not be too hasty, and she would not be worried about being restrained by the local area.

But at the moment, the emperor seemed to be in a hurry to send them out.

When this time passed, I was afraid that I could not even settle down my place.

The emperor's family banquet began with rumors flying all over the sky. Although the emperor and the queen sat side by side, everyone in the seat could feel the queen's helplessness.

Sitting next to Jingle was the third princess, Princess Ning'an. She persuaded Jingle, but her face was filled with a gloating smile.

Lin Zisu immediately understood what Xie Xi meant and shook her head and said, "Don't worry, the Queen may just say it casually."

However, as Xie Yao's status stabilized, the queen's status became increasingly awkward, and even some concubines began to show kindness to Concubine Tang intentionally or unintentionally.

On the second day, the emperor summoned four princes to the Qianqing Palace, and the Ministry of Rites talked about the rule of title of marquis and vassals.

The emperor's words included all his three sons.

Xie Xi felt that what the emperor said made sense, so he slowly sat back.

"Miss Lin, everyone here is full of golden branches and jade leaves. You have not married my fourth brother yet, but just a minister. Where can you get the face? It's on an equal footing with us?"

Jingle curled her lips and looked at Lin Zisu's clothes again. Seeing that she couldn't find anything wrong, she felt even more angry.

Although Xie Yao did not conduct the ceremony of establishing a crown prince, the imperial edict had long been spread throughout the country, and the title of the crown prince could not be changed.

The emperor has actually been paying attention to the movement here. Not only can the emperor hear these conversations, but the princes also hear them clearly.

When Princess Jingle heard Lin Zisu lifting the emperor out, she immediately panicked and looked towards the emperor.

Xie Xi said guiltily: "When I see my father tomorrow, please wait a moment."

Shortly after the princes left the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Zhang cried and looked for the emperor.

It is said that a quarter of an hour later, Concubine Zhang ran out crying again.

Concubine Zhang Xian was also sealed up by the emperor because she was unable to teach her children.

"I didn't say that!"

"Look at what you said."

Of course, the most helpless person on the table is Lin Zisu.

Lipin lives in the side hall of Changning Palace. Since the Changning Palace was sealed, Princess Jingle has not even seen her mother's face.

"Second sister, this is the future fourth sister-in-law. If you say this, aren't you afraid that the fourth brother will cause trouble for you?"

She is not mentally prepared to get married yet. Although she is hoping that the queen will say nothing, she is unwilling to have conflicts with the emperor because of this.

The emperor smiled and said, "Yaoer is now the crown prince of a country. In front of the people of the world, he naturally needs the style of a king. How can he fight with the people? I am afraid that only Xiao Sier can do such a thing."

Because the Eighth Prince was still young, the emperor did not mention Xie Xu's enfeoffment.

Seeing that Xie Xi was about to get up, the emperor hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiao Sier, but a few words from his daughter's house, are you going to interfere too?"

Rumors have been circulating in the palace. The emperor has disliked the queen and has long wanted to find a suitable opportunity to depose the queen.

When several princes heard the emperor mention Dunzhou, they immediately raised their ears. Even Xie Yao wanted to hear what the emperor would say next.

But the emperor laughed and turned to Xie Hui and said, "Hui'er, you have to hurry up this year's Zhongqiu Poetry Conference."

Even if she and Xie Xi went to Dunzhou together, as long as the emperor was still there, there would be room for everything to repeat.

After hearing about it, the other three princes all looked different.

She sat among the princesses, listening to the princesses' talk and laughing, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

The day after Concubine Zhang Xian went to the Qing Palace to cry, the third prince Xie Hui was scolded by the emperor in his study and was ordered to meditate in the Western Sanshu.

Xie Hui nodded and said with a smile: "My son follows the arrangements of his father. However, my son-in-law thinks that his second brother has always been talented and can compete with those talented men."

Princess Jingle has never had any good feelings for Lin Zisu. Seeing that Lin Zisu was actually sitting with her, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable and couldn't help but speak up and mock it.

She turned her head and said to Ning An, "I was right. If it were her, I would have consciously retreated and still stayed here. Isn't it embarrassing to see you?"

The emperor glanced at Lin Zisu and said to Xie Xi with a smile: "It's just the two words of Jingle, this girl, that will make you nervous like this? If even Jingle can't handle it, when you go to Dunzhou, there will be no such relaxation as the capital."

Recently, Concubine Zhang's status in the palace has plummeted, and even Li Bin, the biological mother of Princess Jingle, has not had a good life.

Lin Zisu smiled at Princess Jingle and asked, "Second Princess, I can be here today because of the grace of Your Majesty. Do you mean that I want me to ignore Your Majesty's request to be summoned?"

Compared with the previous dynasty, the emperor's decision this time seemed to have a greater impact on the harem.

But when I heard that Dunzhou was remote and far away from the capital, Lin Zisu couldn't help but feel a little panicked after going there, after I went there, I didn't know when I would meet my parents and siblings.

Both of them were looking forward to a wedding in two years, but the emperor was determined.

Princess Jingle was nervous, afraid that the emperor would blame her mother and daughter again.

The three of them looked different, Xie Yao had a serious face, Xie Hui lowered his head and said nothing, while Xie Xi was still laughing and kept talking to the emperor.

Soon, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids came in one after another and set up dishes, and the family dinner began.

Just a few words just now, Jingle was afraid of attracting the emperor's attention during the banquet, so she did not dare to say any offensive words to Lin Zisu again.

Seeing that Jingle had become peaceful, Lin Zisu didn't dare to make any trouble anymore, and she was happy to calm down.
